The program memory 14 stores a system operation program that manages the overall functions of the mobile communication terminal as a whole, and a mode driving program under the charging content collection mode according to the charging of the battery.

The data memory 16 stores reservation settings under a charging content collection mode according to battery charging of the mobile communication terminal, and stores and manages content data downloaded according to the reservation settings.

The wireless communication signal transmitting and receiving unit 18 is for transmitting and receiving RF signals by performing wireless communication with a base station of a mobile communication network through an antenna, and the wireless signal processing unit 20 through the wireless communication signal transmitting and receiving unit 18 Converts an RF signal into an intermediate frequency signal and converts it into a digital information signal, converts the digital information signal from the microprocessor 30 into an intermediate frequency signal, converts the intermediate frequency signal into an RF signal, and transmits and receives the wireless communication signal. To be transmitted via section 18.

The wireless LAN module 22 is controlled on / off by the microprocessor 30, accesses an access point AP located in a predetermined area by a short range wireless communication method, and accesses the connected access point AP. The server accesses a server through a synchronization process and uploads contents of the mobile communication terminal, or downloads and synchronizes content data from a server of a wide area wireless network connected to an access point.

Here, the server that can be accessed through the access point (AP) in the wireless LAN module 22 targets a server having content located remotely through a wireless network, but the home of the mobile terminal user In-home computing devices, such as installed desktop computers and notebook computers, may also function as servers for downloading contents.

The battery 24 is charged with electricity to supply operating power to each operating circuit terminal of the mobile communication terminal, and the power supply circuit 26 supplies power supplied with the battery 24 to each operating circuit. Circuit driving to supply the stage is performed.

The charging unit 28 serves to charge the power by connecting the battery 24 with an external charger.

The microprocessor 30 monitors the state of the battery 24 and executes a charging function when the charging content collection mode is set according to a user key operation of the key input unit 10 and a content collection reservation is made. When detected, the wireless LAN module 22 is turned on to request a predetermined content server to transmit the collected scheduled content to a remote content server so that the reserved content is downloaded, and the charging function for the battery 24 is performed. If the release is detected, after stopping the downloading operation of the content, the control to turn off the WLAN module 22 is performed.

That is, when the charging content collection mode is to be set, as shown in FIG. 2A, the on / off switching screen of the charging content collection mode is displayed on the screen to allow the user to selectively operate the content collection schedule. In case of proceeding, as shown in FIG. 2B, a list of contents is provided for each type of contents (eg, newspaper, magazine, drama, movie, animation, etc.) so that the desired contents can be selected therefrom.

Meanwhile, when the state of the collected content is to be inquired while the operation of the WLAN module 22 is turned off by releasing the charge of the battery 24, the vertically reserved content is illustrated as illustrated in FIG. 2C. The download completion status of the user is specifically displayed on the screen (ie, in the form of a download percentage (%)) so that the user can check it.

In this case, when the charging content collection mode is set, but the collection reservation for the specific content is not made by the user, the microprocessor 30 has default content (eg, daily newspaper, etc.) preset as a default value. Request content so you can download it.

The microprocessor 30 may automatically turn off the WLAN module 22 when the downloading of the content to be downloaded is completed even if the battery is not released.

Next, the operation of the present invention made as described above will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3.

First, when the charging content collection mode is to be set by a key input operation through the user's key input unit 10, the charging content collection mode is set by providing an on / off setting screen of the mode as shown in FIG. 2A. (Step S10), the content collection reservation under the charged content collection mode is made to proceed as illustrated in FIG. 2B (step S11).

In this state, the microprocessor 30 determines whether it is detected that the battery 24 of the mobile communication terminal is in a charged state (step S12). When it is detected that the battery 24 has entered the charged state, the microprocessor 30 is turned off. By turning on the operation of the wireless LAN module 22 in the state, accessing the AP (access point), and accessing a predetermined content server on the wireless network through the access point (AP), by requesting the download of the content scheduled to be collected The content is downloaded and stored in the data memory 16 (step S13).

On the other hand, the microprocessor 30 determines whether the charging function of the battery 18 is released while the content is downloaded while the WLAN module 22 is in an on operation state (step S14), and the battery 24 If it is sensed that the charging of the) has been released, the downloading operation of the content is stopped and the WLAN module 22 is turned off (step S15).

Then, it is determined by the user's key input unit 10 operation whether there is an inquiry request for the collection result of the reservation content (step S16), and if it is determined that there is an inquiry request key input for the collection result of the reservation content, The collection result of the reserved content is displayed on the screen in a form that can be confirmed by the user as shown in FIG. 2C (step S17).

When the microprocessor 30 performs a setting operation for the use of the content downloaded by the user's key input of the key input unit 10 (ie, text display, video playback, still picture display, etc.), the data memory It is possible to use the downloaded content stored in (16).

Here, in order to download the remaining data portion of the content that has not been completely downloaded according to the inquiry about the collection result of the reservation content, the wireless LAN module 22 is turned on according to the user's key input, and thus You can proceed with the redownload request.
