BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable terminal, and more particularly, to a portable terminal and a hybrid operation control method thereof capable of simultaneously monitoring reception of a paging channel and an EVDO signal of a 1x system in a call waiting state.

This is possible due to the development of the technology of the communication method of the mobile communication terminal, a complex mobile communication terminal (or hybrid terminal) was released. Such a feature of a composite mobile communication terminal (hereinafter, referred to as a "portable terminal") serves to enable voice communication with an opposite party of an incoming call even while using wireless data communication (for example, Nate).

In detail, when a 1xEVDO is in a traffic state (packet data communication) under a hybrid operation, a 1x paging channel must be monitored to check whether an incoming call is received. This allows incoming calls and phone calls.

However, the conventional portable terminal has a problem of increasing the limited battery consumption of the terminal because it must monitor the wakeup time at different periods for the 1x paging channel and the EVDO signal in the idle mode. That is, in order to enable the user to wake up quickly in the standby state of the terminal, the wake-up time is monitored according to a spec of 1x received by the terminal, and the wake-up time of the EVDO is monitored at different periods.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a portable terminal and a hybrid operation control method thereof capable of simultaneously monitoring reception of a paging channel and an EVDO signal of a 1x system in a call waiting state.

In addition, an object of the present invention is to monitor the wake-up time at the same time as the wake-up time of the paging channel of the 1x system of the EVDO wake-up portable terminal and its hybrid operation control method to monitor the 1x and EVDO at the same time In providing.

Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be noted that in the following description, only parts necessary for understanding the operation and operation according to the present invention will be described, and descriptions of other parts will be omitted so as not to distract from the gist of the present invention.

In the following description, specific details of the portable terminal of the present invention and a hybrid operation control method thereof are shown to provide a more general understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the present invention may be readily practiced without these specific details and also by their modifications.

Referring to FIG. 1, the wireless communication unit 11 performs communication (1xEVDO and CDMA 1x) of a portable terminal. The wireless communication unit 11 includes an RF transmitter for upconverting and amplifying a frequency of a transmitted signal, an RF receiver for low noise amplifying and downconverting a received signal, and encoding and modulating the transmitted signal. And a codec for demodulating and decoding the signal. The codec includes a data codec for processing packet data and an audio codec for processing an audio signal such as voice.

The audio processor 13 reproduces the received audio signal output from the wireless communication unit 11 and outputs it to the speaker SPK or transmits the transmission audio signal generated from the microphone MIC to the wireless communication unit 11. Do this.

The keypad 15 has keys for inputting numeric and text information and function keys for setting various functions.

The memory 17 may be composed of program memory and data memories. The program memory stores programs for controlling general operations of the portable terminal. The program memory stores a program capable of calculating a 1x wakeup time from a 1x slot cycle index in a call and key input standby state, and a program capable of calculating wakeup time from an EVDO control channel cycle. The program memory also stores programs for calculating EVDO control channel cycle values such that 1x and EVDO wakeup time coincide. In addition, the data memory temporarily stores data generated during the execution of the programs.

The controller 19 performs a function of controlling the overall operation of the portable terminal. In addition, the control unit 19 may include the wireless communication unit 11. In addition, the controller 19 calculates 1x wake-up time from the 1x slot cycle index in the standby state. The controller 19 also calculates the wakeup time from the EVDO control channel cycle. In addition, the controller 19 calculates an EVDO control channel cycle value so that 1x and EVDO wakeup time coincide with each other and controls to simultaneously monitor 1x and EVDO signal with one wakeup. To this end, the controller 19 converts the 1x wakeup time according to a unit for calculating the EVDO wakeup time. This is because 1x is a paging slot, and EVDO uses control channel cycles as a unit. Thereafter, the controller 19 determines a control channel cycle value such that 1x and the EVDO wake-up point coincide. The controller 19 performs a network and negotiation using the determined control channel cycle, and then controls to perform the monitoring by the interval of the Wake Up Wake.

Then, the controller 19 calculates a wake time for the 1x paging signal and the EVDO signal received through the wireless communication unit 11. Thereafter, the controller 19 determines a control channel cycle value such that 1x and the EVDO wake-up point coincide. The controller 19 performs a network and negotiation so that the determined control channel cycle can be used, and then controls to perform monitoring by the interval of the Wake Up Wake up time.
