Referring to FIG. 1, a control unit (MPU: Micro-Processer Unit) 100 controls the overall operation of the mobile communication terminal. For example, a function of performing processing and control for voice call and data communication, and automatically adding a specific message inbox when it is necessary to store a received message in a specific message receiver according to the present invention. A function for storing a received message in the added specific message receiver and a function for confirming a received message using a password are processed. Therefore, in the following description, description about the process and control of the normal control part 100 is abbreviate | omitted.

The ROM 102 may store microcodes and various reference data of a program for processing and controlling the controller 100. Particularly, according to the present invention, a program for adding a specific message inbox, a program for storing a message received in the specific message inbox, and a program for confirming a received message using a password of the message inbox are stored. Random Access Memory (RAM) 104 is a working memory of the controller 100 and stores temporary data generated during various programs. Flash ROM 106 stores various updatable archiving data such as phone books, outgoing messages and incoming messages.

The keypad (key pad) 108 is a numeric key buttons of 0-9, menu button (menu), cancel button (clear), confirmation button, call button (TALK), end button (END), Internet access button And a plurality of function keys such as navigation key (or direction key) buttons (▲ / ▼ / ◀ / ▶), and provide key input data corresponding to a key pressed by the user to the controller 100. The display 110 displays status information generated during the operation of the mobile communication terminal, a limited number of characters, a large amount of video and still images, and the like. The display unit 110 may use a color liquid crystal display (LCD).

The codec (Coder-Decoder) 112 connected to the control unit 100 and the speaker 116 and the microphone 114 connected to the codec 112 are voice input / output blocks used for phone calls and voice recording. . The codec 112 converts the PCM data provided from the controller 100 into an analog voice signal, transmits the same through the speaker 116, and converts the voice signal received through the microphone 114 into PCM data. Provided to the controller 100.

In addition, the RF unit (Radio Frequency unit) (120) is the frequency of the radio frequency signal received via the antenna 118 is provided to the baseband processing unit 122 by lowering the frequency, the baseband signal from the baseband processing unit 122 The frequency is raised and transmitted through the antenna 118. The baseband processor 122 processes a baseband signal transmitted and received between the RF unit 120 and the controller 100. For example, in the case of transmission, the channel coding and spreading of data to be transmitted are performed, and in the case of reception, the function of despreading and channel decoding the received signal is performed. .

2 illustrates a procedure of automatically adding a specific message receiving box and storing a received message in a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, first, in step 201, the controller 100 checks whether a message is received from a base station. If the message is not received, the controller 100 proceeds to step 221 to perform a corresponding mode (eg, a standby mode).

If the message is received, the controller 100 proceeds to step 203 to check the caller's telephone number information of the received message, and proceeds to step 205 to check whether the caller's information is stored in the user's phone book. If the caller's information is not stored in the user's phone book, the controller 100 proceeds to step 217.

If the caller's information is stored in the user's phone book, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 207 and checks whether message inbox addition is set in the phone book information. Here, the phone book information, name, phone number, email address, Internet address, avatar, designated ringtones, message inbox additional settings, etc. are shown.

If the message receiving box addition is not set in the phonebook information, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 217 to store the received message in a general message receiving box, and then proceeds to step 219 to display the contents of the message on the display window. Is displayed. Thereafter, the controller 100 ends the present algorithm.

In addition, if the message inbox addition is set in the phonebook information, the controller 100 proceeds to step 209 and checks whether a specific message inbox for the sender already exists. If the sender's specific message box does not exist, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 215 and adds the specific message box for storing the received message, and then proceeds to step 211.

If the specific message receiver for the sender exists, the controller 100 proceeds to step 211 and stores the received message in the already existing specific message receiver, and then the controller 100 performs step 213. Since the automatic lock function is set to the specific inbox, only the message arrival indication is displayed on the display window. (E.g., "The message has arrived from *** (name)."). To exit.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure for confirming a message by using a password for receiving a message in a message received at a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, first, in step 301, the controller 100 determines whether a message search key is input by a user's key manipulation. If the message search key is not input, the controller 100 proceeds to step 321 to perform a corresponding mode (eg, a standby mode).

When the message search key is input, the controller 100 proceeds to step 303 and displays a list of message receiving boxes in the display window. For example: "0: General Inbox, 1: Hong ** (Name) Inbox, 2: Kim ** (Name) Inbox" can be displayed.

In operation 305, the controller 100 determines whether a message box including a message to be checked is selected by a user's key manipulation. When the message receiving box to be checked is selected, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 307 to confirm the encryption setting of the selected message receiving box. If a password is not set in the message receiver, that is, a general message receiver is selected, the controller 100 proceeds to step 313.

If a password is set in the message receiving box, that is, if a specific message receiving box is selected, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 309 and displays a password input pop-up window and inputs a password. In step 311, the controller 100 checks whether the input password matches the password set in the message receiver.

If the two passwords (the input password and the password set in the message receiver) do not match, the controller 100 proceeds to step 319 and displays a pop-up window for inputting again because the password input is incorrect. Receives a different password. If the two passwords match, the controller 100 proceeds to step 313 and displays a list of received messages of the selected message inbox on the display window. In operation 315, the controller 100 determines whether a message to be checked is selected by a user's key manipulation.

If the message to be checked is selected, the controller 100 proceeds to step 317 and displays the contents of the message on the display window, and then ends the present algorithm.
