3, a call announcement method S300 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes detecting a call connection request between a caller terminal 100 and a receiver terminal 200 (S320). If the receiver does not belong to the recording exclusion notification list, whether the call recording function is activated in the caller terminal (100) in response to the detected call connection request is determined A step S340 of transmitting a notice regarding whether or not the recording function is activated in the confirmed call to the recipient terminal 200 in step S330; A step S350 of receiving a rejection request, and a step S360 of including a recipient who has transmitted the notification rejection request in a recording notification exclusion list.

For reference, each of the steps S310, S320, S330, S340, S350, and S360 shown in FIG. 3 are exemplary steps for explaining a call announcement method S300 according to an embodiment of the present invention , So it will be apparent that additional steps other than those shown in FIG. 3 may be performed.

S310 corresponds to a step of detecting a call connection request between the calling terminal 100 and the receiving terminal 200 by the detecting unit 130 of the voice recording apparatus 100. [ In general, a call from a calling terminal 100 to a recipient terminal 200 by inputting a telephone number of a receiver at a caller terminal 100 and touching a call button or by touching a call button linked to a telephone number of a receiver A connection request is established and the detection unit 130 can detect a call connection request between the established caller terminal 100 and the receiver terminal 200. [

When a call connection request between the calling terminal 100 and the recipient terminal 200 is detected in S310, the recording application in the call placed in the calling terminal 100 is immediately executed. In S320, the controller 110 controls the storage unit 150, Searches for a recording notification exclusion list stored in the recording notification exclusion list, and determines whether the recipient belongs to the recording notification exclusion list.

As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a method and apparatus for notifying a user of a call during a call can perform a call without anxiety, , A family member, a relative, etc.) can be implemented to exclude the provision of the call alert service. For reference, the recording notification exclusion list may be set by the caller who owns the caller terminal 100 and may be stored in the storage unit 150 of the voice recording apparatus 100. [

If the receiver does not belong to the recording notification exclusion list, that is, if the receiver is to provide a notification as to whether or not the recording function is active during the call, the controller 150 controls the monitoring unit 140 and the communication unit 120 . ≪ / RTI > On the contrary, if the receiver belongs to the recording announcement exclusion list as a result of the determination, that is, the receiver is preset by the caller so as not to provide notification as to whether or not the recording function is active during the call, the controller 150 controls the monitoring unit 140 and / And may be configured to deactivate the communication unit 120. [ For reference, an example of the recording notification exclusion list and its updating will be described later in more detail with reference to FIG.

If the receiver does not belong to the recording notification excluded list in S320, the monitoring unit 140 of the voice recording notification apparatus 100 responds to the call connection request to determine whether the recording function during the call is activated in the calling terminal 100 And it is a step to confirm whether it is.

For example, in response to the detected call connection request, the monitoring unit 140 can check whether the call recording function is activated in the caller terminal 100, (E.g., every 3 seconds, every 5 seconds, etc.) whether the recording function is activated in the caller terminal 100 during a call connection, Can be confirmed.

Thereafter, S340 corresponds to the step of transmitting, to the receiver terminal 200, a notification regarding whether or not the communication unit 120 of the voice recording notification apparatus 100 activates the confirmed recording function. Here, the notification as to whether or not the recording function is activated, which is transmitted to the receiver terminal 200, may be implemented as (i) a text message of either an SMS message, an MMS message, or an SNS message, or (ii) Or (iii) as a voice message that is played at the recipient terminal 200 prior to the call connection.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the monitoring unit 140 determines that the call recording function is disabled in the caller terminal 100 during a call connection, The communication unit 120 can be controlled so as to transmit notifications regarding whether or not the mobile terminal 200 is activated to the receiver terminal 200 at the start and end of the call. An example of a notification (e.g., a text message) sent to the receiver terminal 200 at the start and end of a call will be described later in more detail in FIG.

Further, in accordance with a further embodiment of the present invention, the monitoring unit 140 may determine whether the call recording function is activated at the caller terminal 100 during a call connection at a predetermined time interval (e.g., every 3 seconds, 5 seconds The control unit 110 notifies the calling terminal 100 of activation of the recording function during the call (for example, a notification of whether or not the recording function is active during the call) , A text message, a voice message, etc.) to the recipient terminal 200, so that the recipient of the call can immediately recognize that the call recording has been initiated at the recipient terminal .

Alternatively, when it is detected that the call recording function is activated in the caller terminal 100 during a call connection, the controller 110 controls the caller terminal 100 and the receiver terminal 200 (E.g., text message, voice message, etc.) to the recipient terminal 200 by temporarily terminating the call and inquiring whether or not to activate the recording function during the call, (E.g., terminate communication or maintain communication) with the receiver terminal 200 through the communication unit 120 according to a response.

For reference, the communication unit 120 may be a wired and / or wireless communication unit 120, provided for direct connection with the outside or via a network. Specifically, the communication unit 120 transmits data from the control unit 110, the storage unit 150, or the like by wire or wireless, or receives wired or wireless data from the outside, transfers the data to the control unit 110, ). ≪ / RTI > The data may include contents such as text, images, moving images, and user images.

If the notification of whether or not the recording function during communication is activated is transmitted to the receiver terminal 200 in step S340, then, optionally, in step S350, the communication unit 120 receives, from the receiver terminal 200, And receiving a notification deny request.

In some cases, a particular recipient may not desire to receive a notification (e. G., A message or the like) as to whether a recording is activated at the sender terminal, or may not wish to receive such a notification, According to the present invention, the call notifying apparatus 100 can inquire of the receiver terminal 200 whether the reception of the notification has been continued through the interface unit 160. The receiver can display a request for rejection of the notification to the caller, The inconvenience of the recipient can be prevented in advance.

In step S350, when the controller 110 receives a notification rejection request regarding whether or not to activate the recording function during a call from the recipient terminal 200, the control unit 110 determines whether the controller 110 has received the notification rejection list The storage unit 150 can be controlled. For reference, the updating of the inquiry about whether or not to keep the notification provision and the recording notification excluded list will be described later in more detail with reference to FIG. 9 below.

The above description has been made on the case where the caller terminal 100 transmits only the call recording function to the receiver terminal 200 via the monitoring unit 140 provided in the caller terminal 100. [ In this regard, an application having a call recording function that the caller terminal 100 is infected with spyware and can not be recognized by the caller at all can be installed in the caller terminal 100, If call recording is activated by the spyware recording application, it can record the other party's call regardless of the caller's intent and thereby cause the other party's confidence to fall.

In order to solve this problem, according to a further embodiment of the present invention, when a call recording announcement application is executed and detects that the call recording function is activated in the caller terminal 100, a notification is also sent to the caller terminal 100 The method, apparatus, and system may be implemented such that it can be provided (e.g., in the form of an application pop-up), preferably prior to notification to the recipient terminal 200.
