Description

Information display device and method of mobile terminal {INFORMATION DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MOBILE DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a text message transmission service of a mobile terminal, and more particularly, to a description of a received text message identification.

The mobile terminal provides not only a voice call service but also a text message transmission service such as a short message service (SMS) and a multimedia message transmission service such as a multi-media message service (MMS). Such a message transmission service is used not only to provide a service for transmitting and receiving messages between different users, but also to provide a variety of information from places such as companies or organizations related to the user.

Recently, the necessity of smart finance is on the rise due to the simplification, convenience and informatization of financial services, and domestic and foreign financial institutions are providing various services accordingly. Currently, financial institutions and card institutions have introduced a "mobile phone notification service" that receives card usage details in real time, and informs you of the amount to be settled and the result of the deposit, and an "automated notification of deposit and withdrawal details" that provides bank account deposit and withdrawal details. It is being serviced. In addition, in the use of various transactions and services from various operators due to the development of electronic commerce, it is possible to be notified of usage details and processing results by SMS / MMS. These services provide convenience to the user, but the user is weak in identifying the caller information that provides the service in the process of checking the text message, the readability occurs.

Currently, since the mobile terminal displays caller information using only information registered in the phone book, it is not easy to distinguish and recognize the sender by displaying only the caller's phone number for a text message received from an object not registered in the phone book. . In addition, in the case of the above-mentioned text message, two or more numbers of the same originator but different from each other may be transmitted. As such, when different numbers are transmitted, even the same sender may be displayed separately from each other, which may cause inconvenience in identifying letters for the same sender.

An object of the present invention is to provide an information display apparatus and method of a mobile terminal which can facilitate user's convenience by easily identifying a received text message and dividing the text message.

An information display apparatus of a mobile terminal according to the present invention includes an extractor for extracting a representative phrase for identification of a source from a received text message and a controller for displaying the extracted representative phrase on a mobile terminal. And a controller for generating a source index through the extracted representative phrase and displaying the identified source on the mobile terminal based on the generated source index, generating the source index information by storing the generated source index, It may further include a database for transmitting a keyword for the phrase extraction to the extraction unit.

The control unit transfers the received text message to the extracting unit for extracting the representative phrase when the source corresponding to the originating number of the received text message does not exist in the source index information. The source index information may include the calling number of the received text message, the extracted representative phrase, and the cumulative number of text messages received from each sender. The control unit may provide an integrated text message to the same sender as the identified sender regardless of the calling number, and when the cumulative number of text messages received from the identified sender exceeds a predetermined number, the sender sends the sender to the mobile terminal. Can be displayed on the

The extractor may extract a word or phrase existing between predetermined parenthesis symbols included in the received text message as a representative phrase. If the extracted text message does not have a predetermined parenthesis symbol, the extractor may parse the received text message and extract a word or phrase corresponding to a preset keyword as a representative phrase. The extractor extractor may extract the word or phrase as the representative phrase when a word or phrase existing between the predetermined parenthesis symbols included in the received text message corresponds to a preset keyword.

In the information display method of the mobile terminal according to the present invention, first, the representative phrase for source identification is extracted from the received text message, and the source index information corresponding to the extracted representative phrase is retrieved. Then, the identified source is displayed on the mobile terminal based on the retrieved source index information. In addition, the generated source index may be stored to generate source index information. If a sender corresponding to the caller ID of the received text message exists in the caller index information, the caller corresponding to the caller ID is displayed on the mobile terminal.

The source index information includes the source number of the received text message, the extracted representative phrase and the cumulative number of text messages received from each source. The integrated text message may be provided regardless of the calling number for the same calling party having a different calling number from the identified calling destination in the step of searching for the source index information corresponding to the extracted representative phrase. By displaying the sender on the mobile terminal only when the cumulative number of text messages received from the identified sender exceeds a predetermined number, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience of displaying all of the short-term senders.

Extracting the representative phrase for source identification from the received text message extracts a word or phrase existing between the predetermined parenthesis symbols included in the received text message as the representative phrase. Alternatively, in the extracting the representative phrase for source identification from the received text message, the received text message is parsed to extract a word or phrase corresponding to a preset keyword as the representative phrase. In addition, extracting the representative phrase for identifying the sender from the received text message may include parsing the received text message if there is no predetermined parenthesis symbol in the received text message, so that a word or phrase corresponding to the preset keyword is obtained. Phrases can be extracted through the method of extracting the representative phrases. The extracting of the representative phrase for identifying the sender from the received text message may include representing the word or phrase when the word or phrase existing between the predetermined parentheses included in the received text message corresponds to a preset keyword. Representative phrases can be extracted through the extraction method.

Through the information display device and method of the mobile terminal according to the present invention, when a user receives a commercial text message of the calling party number even for a user who is not registered in the phone book, the user replaces the calling party number with low identities and displays the calling party. It can improve the identification and readability of the service and improve user convenience by increasing the efficiency of message management.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Terms used in the present specification are terms selected in consideration of functions and effects in the embodiments, and the meaning of the terms may vary depending on the intention of a user or an operator or industry conventions. Therefore, the meanings of the terms used in the following embodiments are to be interpreted as meanings generally recognized by those skilled in the art when specifically stated in the present specification, and according to the definitions specified.

1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of an information display device of a mobile terminal according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, an information display apparatus 100 of a mobile terminal according to the present invention includes a controller 110, an extractor 120, a database 130, and a display 140.

The controller 110 checks whether the caller ID and the sender of the received text message exist in the phonebook of the mobile terminal and the caller index information of the database 130, and if so, displays the corresponding content on the mobile terminal and does not exist. If not, the received text message is transferred to the extraction unit 120.

First, when a new text message is received, the controller 110 determines whether the telephone number of the sender who has transmitted the text message is registered in the phone book. If the telephone number of the sender of the received text message is registered in the phone book, the mobile terminal generally displays the name of the sender registered in the phone book on the screen to identify the sender.

However, if the calling party's telephone number is not registered in the phone book, the controller 110 requests the calling party index information from the database 130 and receives the calling party index information from the database 130. The source index information includes one or more representative phrases previously stored and information on the telephone number of the source corresponding to the representative phrase. When the source index information is received from the database 130, the control unit 110 determines whether the calling party's telephone number is registered in the source index information (203). If the sender's phone number is registered in the sender index information, the representative phrase corresponding to the sender's phone number is searched in the sender index information, and the searched representative phrase is displayed on the screen to display the sender of the received text message. To be identified. If the caller's telephone number is not registered in the caller index information, the controller 110 transmits the received text message to the extractor 120 to register a new representative phrase.

When the representative phrase extracted from the extractor 120 is received, the controller 110 receiving the representative phrase generates a new source index based on the received representative phrase. The extractor 120 matches the representative phrase extracted from the text message with the received text message origination number to generate a source index. The controller 110 may integrate messages having the same representative phrase as the source index on the source index information stored in the database 130. Even if the sender who sent the text message is the same, the caller ID may be different. That is, one sender may send a text message through two or more caller IDs. Therefore, it is checked whether the source index corresponding to the representative phrase included in the generated source index exists in the source index information previously stored in the database 130. If the sender index information, which is different from the calling number but the same representative phrase exists in the sender index information previously stored in the database 130, it is determined whether the message is integrated.

As a result of the check, if the same sender having different caller numbers exists, the received text message may be displayed by integrating the received caller with the same caller having a different caller ID. In a typical mobile terminal, when a new text message is received from a corresponding sender by integrating a text message transmitted from a sender having the same calling number, the previously accumulated text message is displayed together. The information display apparatus of the mobile terminal according to the present invention may integrate text messages received from the same sender regardless of the caller number, even when different caller numbers are identified as the same caller through a source index generation process using representative text extraction. have. However, regardless of the calling number, the text message of the same sender is not necessarily integrated, and may be integrated or managed according to the purpose of use and settings.

When the source index is generated, the controller 110 updates the source index information stored in the database 130 using the generated source index. If the source index generated by the controller 110 is a source index for a new source that does not exist previously, a new category including the generated source index is added to the source index information of the database 130. If the sender index generated by the controller 110 is a sender index for an existing sender having only a calling number, the sender index stored in the same category as the existing sender is stored.

In this process, the number of text messages accumulated for each caller number and each caller is recorded. The information display apparatus of the mobile terminal according to the present invention extracts a representative phrase from the received text message to generate a source index, and when a text message is received from the same source, the display unit of the mobile terminal displays the corresponding source based on the stored source index. Displayed at 140, and integrated management of the text message of the same sender regardless of the calling number. However, although the sender identified through the extracted representative phrase is related to the user of the mobile terminal, it may be a sender that continuously transmits a text message. On the other hand, the sender does not continuously transmit a text message to the user. For example, the sender may send a text message either singly or only a few times. Therefore, the number of text messages accumulated for each caller ID and each caller may be recorded so that the representative phrase is displayed only for the caller for whom the text message has been received a predetermined number of times or more.

The extractor 120 analyzes the text message received from the controller 110 and extracts the representative phrase from the received text message. The method of extracting the representative phrase from the received text message can be broadly classified into an extraction method using a predetermined parenthesis symbol and an extraction method using text message parsing.

The extraction method using a predetermined parenthesis symbol is a method of extracting a phrase in a parenthesis symbol included in a received text message as a representative phrase. Many commercial text messages, including text messages received from a financial institution such as a bank or card company, often contain information about the originator through a predetermined parenthesis at the end or at the end of the text message. Predetermined parentheses may include all commonly used parentheses, such as [], {}, <> and (). For example, a text message received from a bank is generally described as [XX bank] at the end of the text message. Accordingly, the extractor 120 may search for the parenthesis symbol in the received text message and extract the phrase in the searched parenthesis symbol as a representative phrase.

In the extraction method using text message parsing, the received text message is parsed, and the representative phrase is extracted from a predetermined keyword from the parsed contents. The predetermined keyword for extracting the representative phrase is a keyword set before parsing the text message, and can identify the sender through characteristics of the sender such as 'bank', 'card', 'shopping', 'telecom' and 'courier'. The word can be set. The keyword for extracting the representative phrase may be stored in advance in a predetermined storage device provided in the database 130 or the mobile terminal. In addition, the keyword for extracting the representative phrase may be set by the user, and may be set by the manufacturer of the mobile terminal or the application program maker that implements the related function. The extractor 120 may parse the received text message and extract a word containing the searched keyword as a representative phrase when a predetermined keyword is searched. For example, if the keyword 'card' exists by parsing the received text message, the word 'XX card' including the keyword 'card' is extracted as a representative phrase.

The predetermined keyword for extracting the representative phrase may not only set the above-described keyword and a word representing the characteristics of the originator, but also may directly set the name of a specific company, company, or financial institution. For example, a bank or card company operating in Korea is generally known by the name of the financial institution, and there are only a limited number of financial institutions. Therefore, the name of a financial institution including a bank and a card company operating in Korea can be directly set as a keyword, and if the name of the financial institution exists in the parsed text message, it can be extracted as a representative phrase. Companies set as keywords may include names of major communication companies and shopping malls as well as financial institutions. Companies set as keywords may include generally known company names, such as financial institutions, and may be set individually by a user. The extraction unit 120 may selectively use any one method of extracting the two representative phrases described above.

The extractor 120 may extract the representative phrase by sequentially applying the above-described two methods of extracting the representative phrase. The extractor 120 first searches for a parenthesis symbol in the received text message. If a parenthesis symbol is found, the phrase in the parenthesis symbol is extracted as the representative phrase. On the other hand, if the parentheses are not found in the received text message, the representative phrase is extracted through the extraction method using text message parsing.

In addition, the extractor 120 may extract the representative phrase by simultaneously applying the above-described method of extracting the two representative phrases. First, the extractor 120 extracts a phrase in a parenthesis from a received text message. When the phrase is extracted from a parenthesis, the extractor 120 compares the extracted phrase with a preset keyword to determine whether a corresponding keyword exists. do. Through this, the accuracy and reliability of the extracted representative phrase can be increased.

Additionally, the extractor 120 may extract the representative phrase through a method of extracting a word (phrase) located at the end of the head (or end) as a representative phrase in addition to the method using the parenthesis and the keyword described above. The end of the word refers to a word or phrase located at the end of the text message as a meaning corresponding to the end of the text. The extractor 120 extracts a word or phrase corresponding to the head of the received text message as a representative phrase, or a word or phrase corresponding to the end of the received text message as a representative phrase as a representative phrase. Can be extracted.

When the representative phrase is extracted, the extractor 120 transmits the extracted representative phrase to the controller 110.

The extraction unit 120 extracts the representative character from the received text message as described above. However, not only one representative character is always extracted from the received text message. Depending on the text message received, two or more parentheses may be included in the same or different parentheses. In addition, two or more words or phrases corresponding to the preset keyword may be included. In this case, the extractor 120 may extract two representative characters instead of one representative character. When two or more representative characters are extracted by the extractor 120, the extractor 120 transmits all of the two or more representative phrases to the controller 110. When two or more representative phrases are contended by receiving two or more representative phrases from the extractor 120, the controller 110 selects one representative phrase among two or more representative phrases according to a predetermined condition and finally represents the representative representative. You can decide by phrases. Alternatively, when two or more representative phrases are contended by receiving two or more representative phrases from the extractor 120, the controller 110 displays a user interface for selecting one of two or more representative phrases. The display may be displayed on the mobile terminal through 140 to allow the user to select any one of two or more representative phrases in contention.

The database 130 receives and stores the source index generated by the controller 110 to generate source index information. The sender index information includes one or more sender indexes. The sender indexes are classified by respective senders, include representative phrases and call numbers, and record the accumulated number of text messages. Then, at the request of the controller 120, the source index information is provided.

The database 130 transmits the stored keyword information to the extraction unit 120. The keyword information includes a predetermined keyword for extracting the representative phrase. The predetermined keyword for extracting the representative phrase is a keyword set before parsing the text message, and can identify the sender through characteristics of the sender such as 'bank', 'card', 'shopping', 'telecom' and 'courier'. The word can be set. The predetermined keyword for extracting the representative phrase may not only set the above-described keyword and a word representing the characteristics of the originator, but also may directly set the name of a specific company, company, or financial institution.

The display 140 displays the originator of the received text message based on the originator index received from the controller 110 (306). The controller 110 searches the source index corresponding to the originator of the received text message, determines whether the message is integrated, and transmits the message to the display unit 140. The display unit 140 displays the originator through the representative phrase on the screen of the mobile terminal based on the origination index of which integration is determined. If it is determined that the calling number is to be merged with another same sender, the received text message received from the same sender and the newly received text message are displayed together. On the other hand, if it is determined that the calling number is not integrated with another same sender, the same sender having a different calling number is ignored, and only the representative text of the sender for the received text message is displayed on the screen. A detailed description of the integration will be described with reference to the embodiment described in FIG. 7 described below. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a data flow of an information display device of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2, the data flow of the information display apparatus of the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, first, when a new text message is received, the controller 110, the phone number of the sender to which the text message is sent is a phone book; It is determined whether or not registered in 201. If the telephone number of the sender of the received text message is registered in the phone book, the mobile terminal generally displays the name of the sender registered in the phone book on the screen to identify the sender.

However, if the calling party's telephone number is not registered in the phone book, the controller 110 requests the calling party index information from the database 130 and receives the calling party index information from the database 130 (202). The source index information includes one or more representative phrases previously stored and information on the telephone number of the source corresponding to the representative phrase. When the source index information is received from the database 130, the control unit 110 determines whether the calling party's telephone number is registered in the source index information (203). If the sender's phone number is registered in the sender index information, the representative phrase corresponding to the sender's phone number is searched in the sender index information, and the searched representative phrase is displayed on the screen to display the sender of the received text message. To be identified. If the calling party's telephone number is not registered in the calling party index information, the controller 110 transmits the received text message to the extraction unit 120 for registration of the new representative phrase (204).

The extraction unit 120 receiving the text message from the control unit 110 requests the database 130 to receive keyword information (205). The extractor 120 analyzes the text message received by the mobile terminal and extracts the representative phrase from the received text message (206). The method of extracting the representative phrase from the received text message can be broadly classified into an extraction method using a predetermined parenthesis symbol and an extraction method using text message parsing.

The extraction method using a predetermined parenthesis symbol is a method of extracting a phrase in a parenthesis symbol included in a received text message as a representative phrase. Many commercial text messages, including text messages received from financial institutions such as banks and card companies, often include information about the originator through a predetermined parenthesis in the prefix of the text message. Predetermined parentheses may include all commonly used parentheses, such as [], {}, <> and (). For example, a text message received from a bank is generally described as [XX bank] at the end of the text message. Accordingly, the extractor 120 may search for the parenthesis symbol in the received text message and extract the phrase in the searched parenthesis symbol as a representative phrase.

In the extraction method using a keyword, the received text message is parsed and the representative phrase is extracted through a predetermined keyword from the parsed contents. The predetermined keyword for extracting the representative phrase is a keyword set before parsing the text message and is included in the keyword information provided from the database 130 and includes 'bank', 'card', 'shopping', 'telecom' and 'courier service'. A word that can distinguish the sender may be set through the characteristics of the sender, such as'. The extractor 120 may parse the received text message and extract a word containing the searched keyword as a representative phrase when a predetermined keyword is searched. For example, if the keyword 'card' exists by parsing the received text message, the word 'XX card' including the keyword 'card' is extracted as a representative phrase.

The predetermined keyword for extracting the representative phrase may not only set words (for example, 'bank', 'card company', etc.) representing the characteristics of the sender as described above, but also directly designate a specific company, corporation or financial institution. The name can be set. For example, a bank or card company operating in Korea is generally known by the name of the financial institution, and there are only a limited number of financial institutions. Therefore, the name of a financial institution including a bank and a card company operating in Korea can be directly set as a keyword, and if the name of the financial institution exists in the parsed text message, it can be extracted as a representative phrase. Companies set as keywords may include names of major communication companies and shopping malls as well as financial institutions. Companies set as keywords may include generally known company names, such as financial institutions, and may be set individually by a user. The extraction unit 110 may selectively use any one method of extracting the two representative phrases described above.

The extractor 110 may extract the representative phrase by sequentially applying the above-described two methods of extracting the representative phrase. The extraction unit 110 first searches for a parenthesis symbol in the received text message. If a parenthesis symbol is found, the phrase in the parenthesis symbol is extracted as the representative phrase. On the other hand, if the parentheses are not found in the received text message, the representative phrase is extracted through the extraction method using text message parsing.

In addition, the extraction unit 110 may extract the representative phrase by applying the above-described method of extracting the two representative phrases at the same time. The extraction unit 110 first extracts a phrase in a parenthesis from a received text message, and when the phrase is extracted from a parenthesis, compares the extracted phrase with a preset keyword to determine whether a corresponding keyword exists. do. Through this, the accuracy and reliability of the extracted representative phrase can be increased. In addition, when there are a plurality of representative phrases extracted by the extractor 110, the extractor 110 may specify the selected phrases.

When the representative phrase is extracted, the extraction unit 120 transmits the extracted representative phrase to the control unit 110 (207). In operation 208, the controller 110 receiving the representative text extracted from the extractor 120 generates a new source index based on the received representative text. The extractor 120 matches the representative phrase extracted from the text message with the received text message origination number to generate a source index.

When the source index is generated, the controller 110 may search the source index information stored in the database 130 for the same representative phrase as the generated source index and merge the message. In step 203, the calling party number of the received text message is compared with the calling party index information to determine whether a corresponding calling party index exists. However, even if the sender who sent the text message is the same, the caller ID may be different. That is, one sender may send a text message through two or more caller IDs. Therefore, it is checked whether the source index corresponding to the representative phrase included in the generated source index exists in the source index information previously stored in the database 130. If the sender index information, which is different from the calling number but the same representative phrase exists in the sender index information previously stored in the database 130, it is determined whether the message is integrated.

As a result of the check, if the same sender having different caller numbers exists, the received text message may be displayed by integrating the received caller with the same caller having a different caller ID. In a typical mobile terminal, when a new text message is received from a corresponding sender by integrating a text message transmitted from a sender having the same calling number, the previously accumulated text message is displayed together. The information display apparatus of the mobile terminal according to the present invention may integrate text messages received from the same sender regardless of the caller number, even when different caller numbers are identified as the same caller through a source index generation process using representative text extraction. have. However, regardless of the calling number, the text message of the same sender is not necessarily integrated, and may be integrated or managed according to the purpose of use and settings.

Next, the source index information stored in the database 130 is updated using the generated source index (210). If the source index generated by the controller 110 is a source index for a new sender that does not exist previously, the sender index generated by the controller 110 includes a new category including the source index in the source index information of the database 130. If this source number is only a source index for an existing source that is different, the source index generated in the same category as the existing source is stored.

In this process, the number of text messages accumulated for each caller number and each caller is recorded. The information display apparatus of the mobile terminal according to the present invention extracts a representative phrase from the received text message to generate a source index, and when a text message is received from the same source, the display unit of the mobile terminal displays the corresponding source based on the stored source index. Displayed at 140, and integrated management of the text message of the same sender regardless of the calling number. However, although the sender identified through the extracted representative phrase is related to the user of the mobile terminal, it may be a sender that continuously transmits a text message. On the other hand, the sender does not continuously transmit a text message to the user. For example, the sender may send a text message either singly or only a few times. Therefore, the number of text messages accumulated for each caller ID and each caller may be recorded so that the representative phrase is displayed only for the caller for whom the text message has been received a predetermined number of times or more.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a data flow of a representative phrase display process of an information display device of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 3, the data flow of the representative phrase display process of the information display apparatus of the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the text message is received, the telephone number of the sender who sent the text message is registered in the phone book. In step 301, it is determined whether or not it is. If the telephone number of the sender of the received text message is registered in the phone book, the mobile terminal generally displays the name of the sender registered in the phone book on the screen to identify the sender. However, if the caller's telephone number is not registered in the phone book, the controller 110 requests the caller index information from the database 130 and receives the caller index information from the database 130 (302). The source index information includes one or more representative phrases previously stored and information on the telephone number of the source corresponding to the representative phrase. When the source index information is received from the database 130, the controller 110 checks whether the source telephone number is registered in the source index information (303). If the calling party's telephone number is registered in the calling party index information, the representative phrase corresponding to the calling party's telephone number is searched in the calling party index information.

If the sender of the received text message is registered in the sender index information, it is determined whether the message is merged (304). As a result of the check, if the same sender having different caller numbers exists, the received text message may be displayed by integrating the received caller with the same caller having a different caller ID. In a typical mobile terminal, when a new text message is received from a corresponding sender by integrating a text message transmitted from a sender having the same calling number, the previously accumulated text message is displayed together. The information display apparatus of the mobile terminal according to the present invention may integrate text messages received from the same sender regardless of the caller number, even when different caller numbers are identified as the same caller through a source index generation process using representative text extraction. have. However, regardless of the calling number, the text message of the same sender is not necessarily integrated, and may be integrated or managed according to the purpose of use and settings. The controller 110 determines whether to display the originator of the received text message in combination with the index information of the same originator having a different calling number based on a preset condition. In addition, the controller 110 transmits, to the display unit 140, the caller index determined by the integration (305).

The display 140 receiving the source index from the controller 110 displays the representative phrase of the received text message based on the received source index (306). The controller 110 searches the source index corresponding to the originator of the received text message, determines whether the message is integrated, and transmits the message to the display unit 140. The display unit 140 displays the representative text on the screen of the mobile terminal based on the call destination index determined whether or not the integration. If it is determined that the calling number is to be merged with another same sender, the received text message received from the same sender and the newly received text message are displayed together. On the other hand, if it is determined that the calling number is not integrated with another same sender, the same sender having a different calling number is ignored, and only the representative text of the sender for the received text message is displayed on the screen. Detailed description of whether or not to integrate will be described through the embodiment described in FIG.

4 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of an interface representing extraction of representative phrases using parentheses in an information display device of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the general text message receiving interface 410 maintains the calling number in the sender display area 411 if the sender of the received text message 412 is not included in a database registered by the user such as a phone book. Mark it. On the other hand, the text message receiving interface 420 of the mobile terminal to which the information display device of the mobile terminal according to the present invention is applied is represented by the phrase 422 through the parenthesis 421 present at the end of the received text message 412. Can be extracted. The extraction method using a predetermined parenthesis symbol is a method of extracting a phrase in a parenthesis symbol included in a received text message as a representative phrase. Many commercial text messages, including text messages received from financial institutions such as banks and card companies, often include information about the originator through a predetermined parenthesis in the prefix of the text message. Predetermined parentheses may include all commonly used parentheses, such as [], {}, <> and (). When the phrase 'AB Internet Banking', which is located between the parentheses 421 existing in the head, is extracted as the representative phrase 422, the phrase 'AB Internet Banking' is represented through the processing described in FIG. ) Is stored in the source index information. The representative phrase 422 is displayed as the representative phrase sender 423 in the sender destination display area 411.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of an interface representing representative phrase extraction using keywords of an information display device of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, if the sender of the received text message 512 is not included in a database registered by the user, such as a phone book, the general text message receiving interface 510 retains the caller ID in the sender display area 511. Mark it. On the other hand, the text message receiving interface 510 of the mobile terminal to which the information display device of the mobile terminal according to the present invention is applied may extract the representative phrase 521 from the received text message through the process of extracting the representative phrase using the keyword. . In the extraction method using keywords, the received text message is parsed, and the representative phrase is extracted from the parsed contents through a predetermined keyword. The predetermined keyword for extracting the representative phrase is a keyword set before parsing the text message. The word that can distinguish the sender through the characteristics of the sender such as 'bank', 'card', 'shopping', 'telecom' and 'courier' Can be set. In the present invention, when a predetermined keyword is searched by parsing the received text message, a word containing the searched keyword may be extracted as a representative phrase.

As a result of parsing and receiving the received text message 512, when the keyword 'shopping' is searched, a word 'lats mobile shopping' including the keyword 'shopping' is extracted as the representative phrase 521. The representative phrase 521 is displayed in the send destination display area 511 as the representative phrase send destination 523.

6 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of an interface illustrating another method of extracting a representative phrase using keywords of an information display device of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, if the sender of the received text message 612 is not included in a database registered by the user, such as a phone book, the general text message receiving interface 610 retains the caller ID in the sender display area 611. Mark it. On the other hand, the text message receiving interface 610 of the mobile terminal to which the information display device of the mobile terminal according to the present invention is applied, the representative phrase 621 is received from the text message received through another method of extracting the representative phrase using keywords. Can be extracted. The predetermined keyword for extracting the representative phrase may not only set words (eg, 'bank', 'card company', etc.) representing the characteristics of the sender as shown in FIG. It can be set to a name such as an organization. For example, a bank or card company operating in Korea is generally known by the name of the financial institution, and there are only a limited number of financial institutions. Therefore, the name of a financial institution including a bank and a card company operating in Korea can be directly set as a keyword, and if the name of the financial institution exists in the parsed text message, it can be extracted as a representative phrase. Companies set as keywords may include names of major communication companies and shopping malls as well as financial institutions. Companies set as keywords may include generally known company names, such as financial institutions, and may be set individually by a user.

As a result of parsing and receiving the received text message 612, if the keyword 'CD bank' is searched, a keyword corresponding to 'CD bank' exists in Korea by searching for the keyword 'CD bank' in keyword information in the database. Check whether or not. As a result, if there is a bank of 'CD bank', the word 'CD bank' is extracted as the representative phrase 621. Then, the representative phrase 621 is displayed as the representative phrase send destination 623 in the send destination display area 611.

7 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of a message integration interface of an information display device of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, the caller ID 711 of the previously received text message interface 710 and the caller ID 721 of the newly received text message interface 720 are different from each other. Representative phrase 'AB check' 712 is extracted by applying a representative phrase extraction using parentheses to the previously received text message interface 710, and a representative phrase using keywords in the newly received text message interface 720. Representative phrase 'AB check' 722 may be extracted by applying the extraction. In this case, although the calling numbers 711 and 721 of the two text messages 710 and 720 are different from each other, since the two representative phrases 721 and 722 are identical to each other, they can be regarded as the same sender. Therefore, even if the caller numbers 711 and 721 of the two text messages 710 and 720 are different from each other, the text message received from the same sender having the different caller numbers is accumulated through the message integration interface 730 by considering the same caller 731. I can display it.

8 is a flowchart illustrating an information display method of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, in the information display method of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, first, when a new text message is received, it is determined whether the telephone number of the sender who has transmitted the text message is registered in the phone book. (801). If the phone number of the sender of the received text message is registered in the phone book, the mobile terminal generally displays the name of the sender registered in the phone book on the screen to identify the sender (809).

If the calling party's telephone number is not registered in the phone book, it is determined whether the calling party's telephone number is registered in the calling party index information (802). If the sender's phone number is registered in the sender index information, the representative phrase corresponding to the sender's phone number is searched in the sender index information, and the searched representative phrase is displayed on the screen to display the sender of the received text message. To be identified.

If the caller's telephone number is not registered in the sender index information, first, whether the representative phrase is extracted is extracted through an extraction method using predetermined parentheses. The extraction method using the parenthesis symbol is a method of extracting the phrase in the parenthesis symbol included in the received text message as a representative phrase. Many commercial text messages, including text messages received from financial institutions such as banks and card companies, often include information about the originator through a predetermined parenthesis in the prefix of the text message. Predetermined parentheses may include all commonly used parentheses, such as [], {}, <> and (). Accordingly, the parenthesis symbol may be searched for in the received text message, and the phrase in the searched parenthesis symbol may be extracted as the representative phrase.

If the parentheses are not present in the received text message, the representative phrase is extracted through an extraction method using keywords (804). The received text message is parsed and a representative phrase is extracted from the parsed contents through a predetermined keyword. The predetermined keyword for extracting the representative phrase is a keyword set before parsing a text message, and can identify the sender through characteristics of the sender such as 'bank', 'card', 'shopping', 'telecom' and 'courier'. The word can be set. When a preset keyword is searched, a word containing the searched keyword may be extracted as a representative phrase. The predetermined keyword for extracting the representative phrase may not only set words (for example, 'bank', 'card company', etc.) representing the characteristics of the sender as described above, but also directly designate a specific company, corporation or financial institution. The name can be set. For example, a bank or card company operating in Korea is generally known by the name of the financial institution, and there are only a limited number of financial institutions. Therefore, the name of a financial institution including a bank and a card company operating in Korea can be directly set as a keyword, and if the name of the financial institution exists in the parsed text message, it can be extracted as a representative phrase. Companies set as keywords may include names of major communication companies and shopping malls as well as financial institutions. Companies set as keywords may include generally known company names, such as financial institutions, and may be set individually by a user.

When the representative phrase is extracted, the source index information corresponding to the extracted representative phrase is retrieved (805). In step 802, the calling party number of the received text message is compared with the calling party index information to determine whether a corresponding sender index exists. However, even if the sender who sent the text message is the same, the caller ID may be different. That is, one sender may send a text message through two or more caller IDs. Therefore, it is checked whether the source index corresponding to the extracted representative phrase exists in the stored source index information.

As a result of the check, if there is a source index having a different source number but the same representative phrase in the stored source index information, it is determined whether the message is integrated (806). As a result of the check, if the same sender having different caller numbers exists, the received text message may be displayed by integrating the received caller with the same caller having a different caller ID. In a typical mobile terminal, when a new text message is received from a corresponding sender by integrating a text message transmitted from a sender having the same calling number, the previously accumulated text message is displayed together. The information display apparatus of the mobile terminal according to the present invention may integrate text messages received from the same sender regardless of the caller number, even when different caller numbers are identified as the same caller through a source index generation process using representative text extraction. have. However, regardless of the calling number, the text message of the same sender is not necessarily integrated, and may be integrated or managed according to the purpose of use and settings.

If it is determined in step 806 that the message is not integrated, the same sender or caller number is displayed separately from other callers to display a text message on the screen (807). On the contrary, if it is determined in step 806 that the message is merged, regardless of the calling number, the text message of the same sender is merged to display the accumulated text message on the screen (808).

After retrieving the source index information corresponding to the extracted representative phrase in step 805, the method may further include updating source index information stored in the database by using the source index generated based on the extracted representative phrase. If the generated source index is a source index for a new source that does not exist previously, add a new category including the generated source index to the source index information of the database. If the generated source index is a source index for an existing source that differs only in the calling number, the generated source index is stored in the same category as the existing source. In this step, the number of text messages accumulated for each caller number and each caller is recorded. In the information display method of the mobile terminal described in FIG. 8, the source is displayed according to the representative phrase regardless of the accumulated number of times the text message is received from the same source. However, although the sender identified through the extracted representative phrase is related to the user of the mobile terminal, it may be a sender that continuously transmits a text message. On the other hand, the sender does not continuously transmit a text message to the user. For example, the sender may send a text message either singly or only a few times. Therefore, the cumulative number of text messages received for each caller number and each sender is recorded, and the step of determining that the cumulative number of text messages has been received is greater than or equal to a predetermined criterion, and the cumulative number is greater than or equal to a predetermined criterion. It can be set only to display the representative phrase.

The present invention including the above-described contents can be produced by a computer program. And code and code segments constituting the program can be easily inferred by a computer programmer in the art. In addition, the created program may be stored in a computer-readable recording medium or information storage medium, and read and executed by a computer to implement the method of the present invention. The recording medium may include any type of computer readable recording medium.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. It is possible.
