Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

An aspect of the present invention is to implement a mobile terminal that recognizes a voice of a counterpart during a conversation or a telephone conversation and automatically outputs pre-stored information for delivery to a counterpart.

Sometimes people try to say something to the other party, but sometimes they forget it or they do not remember what information they wanted to convey. The mobile terminal according to the present invention recognizes the voice of the other party and recognizes the information (e.g., message, image, video, anniversary, schedule information, voice recording information, Quot; informative information ") to compensate for incomplete user's memory.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an information notification method according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the present invention stores in advance the voices of persons registered in a contact list (e.g., a phone book, etc.) prior to performing an information notification operation. Then, the notification information of the registered person is input from the user.

When all the announcement information is input, the input information is linked with the pre-stored voice and stored in the memory 150. [ The voice information and the notification information may be stored through a contact list or may be stored through a separately set menu item (e.g., an 'information notification' menu). The storage location of the voice information and the announcement information can be specifically specified by the user.

Thereafter, when a voice input (or voice reception) occurs from the outside (S10), the input voice is compared with the pre-stored voice. (S20) Then, if the same voice is detected from the memory 150, it is checked whether there is notification information linked with the detected voice. (S30 to S40). If the notification information (s) linked to the detected voice exists, the corresponding notification information (s) is output. (S50)

FIG. 4 illustrates an information notification method according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 illustrates an information notification method when a user is in a telephone conversation.

When a call is set in the mobile terminal, the control unit 180 executes the voice recognition process during the call progress and detects the voice signal of the other party received from the base station. In accordance with the speech recognition process, the detected speech signal of the other party is compared with the speech stored in the memory 150.

If the same voice as that of the other party's voice is detected from the memory 150, it is checked whether there is notification information linked with the voice. If the notification information linked to the voice exists, the control unit 180 displays the linked notification information. If the notification information is voice data, the notification information will be output through the speaker.

At this time, the control unit 180 checks whether the set call is a voice call or a video call, before outputting the announcement information. If the set call is a voice call, the control unit 180 outputs at least one of sound, vibration, and ramp-up so that the user can recognize the output of the notification information, thereby attracting the user's attention.

During a voice call, the terminal generates a vibration (or a sound, a lamp flicker, or the like) to attract the user's attention, and the user recognizes the notification information provided by the terminal by moving the line of sight to the terminal screen.

If the set call is a video call, the control unit 180 may display the notification information without a separate alarm such as sound, vibration, or lamp close-up.

FIG. 5 is a view illustrating an information notification method according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and illustrates an information notification method performed when a user is in a conversation.

The speech recognition process according to the present invention can maintain the active state even after switching to the standby mode according to the setting of the user. During the active state, the speech recognition process monitors the external sound through the input unit (e.g., the A / V input unit 120) of the terminal.

For example, when a user carrying the terminal 100 starts talking with a friend, the terminal senses the conversation sounds through the input unit 120. The control unit 180 measures the strength (decibel (dB) value) of the voice signal input through the input unit 120.

If a voice signal having a dB value equal to or higher than a reference value is detected through the input unit 120, the control unit 180 detects the voice signal of the other party in conversation. In accordance with the speech recognition process, the detected speech signal of the other party is compared with the speech stored in the memory 150.

If the same voice as the other party's voice is detected from the memory 150, it is checked whether there is the notification information linked to the voice. If the notification information linked to the voice exists, the control unit 180 displays the linked notification information.

At this time, the controller 180 outputs at least one of sound, vibration, and ramp-up so that the user can recognize the display of the notification information, thereby attracting the user's attention.

The user can recognize that the notification information is displayed on the terminal screen through the vibration of the terminal (sound, lamp flicker, etc.) and actively utilize the notification information in conversation with the other party.

As described above, the control unit 180 according to the present invention can be implemented as a computer-readable code on a medium on which a program is recorded. The computer-readable medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored.
