The present invention relates to a method for editing a short message.

More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for editing a short message, which supports creating a short message by editing a short message received from a counterpart and stored in a memory and pasting the short message to be sent when the short message is sent.                         

Today, as the mobile terminal becomes popular, additional services such as short message service (SMS), wireless Internet, and a phone book are provided in the mobile terminal as well as a telephone call using the mobile terminal.

In particular, the short message service (SMS) is a service that can send and receive short sentences of about 40 characters among the additional services as described above, and the population of text service users is rapidly increasing in proportion to the rapid spread of mobile terminals.

Unlike the e-mail, the short message service is capable of delivering contents at almost the same time as when it is sent, and has already established a firm position as one of the means of communication, and it is easy to use by anyone. The use of is increasing, too.

While the use is increasing as described above, there is no proposal for more useful use of the short message stored in the memory when sending the short message.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and when sending a short message, a short message editing method received from the other party and stored in the memory to edit the short message to be used for the short message to be sent to provide a method for editing a short message. The purpose is to.

The present invention for realizing the above object comprises the steps of: receiving at least one first short message, storing the received at least one first short message in a memory, and creating a second short message to be sent; Entering a message; selecting a specific short message among at least one first short message stored in the memory; pasting a message content of the selected specific short message into a message content of the second short message; Selectively inputting the message content of the second short message separately from the message content of the specific short message, and when the creation of the second short message is completed, the message content and the optional content of the pasted specific short message are completed. Sending the second short message including the content of the message entered as A short message editing method of a mobile terminal is provided.

The short message editing method may be configured to delete or add a part of the message content of the selected specific short message.

The short message editing method sends the second short message to the mobile terminal corresponding to the sender number of the first short message in the sending step.
In addition, the short message editing method sends the second short message to one or more of the mobile terminals corresponding to the phone number stored in the phone book of the mobile terminal in the sending step.

These objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description. In describing the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the description thereof will be omitted.

1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a mobile communication system for implementing a short message service of a mobile terminal, FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of editing a short message according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is according to the present invention. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the short message is displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal.

Referring to FIG. 1, a mobile communication system includes a mobile terminal 10 that a user carries and transmits / receives a short message, and a base station 20 that transmits a short message and a control signal to the mobile terminal. ), A mobile switching center (MSC) 30 for connecting a general public telephone network and a mobile communication network and transmitting a control signal to the base station 20, and the mobile communication switch 30. Home Location Register (HLR) 40 which provides location information of terminal 10 and Short Message Service Center (SMC) 50 which manages short message service in mobile communication system. It is configured to include.

Hereinafter, a process of editing and sending a short message using the mobile terminal 10 in the above mobile communication system will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

First, when a short message is received from the mobile terminal 10 of the counterpart, the user checks it (S1).

Prior to this, at least one received short message must be stored in the memory of the mobile terminal 10 before the user edits a new short message to be sent.

When confirming the received short message, a menu for selecting 'message editing' or 'voice connection' is presented on the display unit of the mobile terminal 10 as shown in FIG. 3A.

When the user selects the 'message edit' menu (S2), an input window for inputting a message is presented as shown in FIG. 3B, and a 'message search' menu is presented.                     

The 'message search' menu is a menu for searching for a received message stored in a memory of the mobile terminal 10.

When the user selects the 'message search' menu (S3), a short message list stored in the memory is presented as shown in FIG. 3C. The short message list is presented at the front of the message content as shown in FIG. 3C. This may be presented, the name of the party sending the message, or the date and time of receiving the message may be presented.

When the short message list stored in the memory is presented as shown in FIG. 3C, the user selects one short message to be edited from the list (S4).

When the short message is selected, the entire contents of the selected short message are presented and the user edits the entire contents of the presented short message (S5).

In the editing step, the user may delete or add some contents of the selected short message.

For example, when the user selects the third short message among the presented short messages in step S4, the entire third short message is presented as shown in FIG. 3D, and a part of the user may be deleted or added to the presented short message.

In the short message of FIG. 3D, if the user modifies the 'Sat' character to 'day' and modifies '6' to '1', the user may send a short message that he wants to write to the counterpart without inputting many characters. It becomes possible.

After editing the short message and selecting the 'paste' menu, the edited short message is pasted into the short message to be sent (S6).

After pasting the short message in step S6, the user may further input the message directly, and is sent when the message is completed (S7).

Before the short message is sent, an input window for inputting a recipient number is presented. As an initial value, the sender's phone number of the short message checked in step S1 is entered, and the sender's phone number can be deleted and stored in the phonebook. You can also select one or more other phone numbers.

If the user selects the 'voice connection' menu without selecting the 'message editing' menu in step S2 (S8), the call is connected to the sender of the short message checked in step S1 (S9).

Also, in step S3, the user may directly input the short message stored in the memory without using the short message (S7).

In particular, the present invention as described above may be applied when the wireless Internet or a file received from the other party is to be sent to the other party.

The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same way may be varied in many ways. Such modifications are intended to be within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

As described above, the present invention can create a new message by using a short message stored in the memory of the mobile terminal, saves the time to write a message, and uses the short message received and stored in the memory Memory can be managed more efficiently.
