Hereinafter, embodiments related to a control method that can be implemented in the mobile terminal configured as described above will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential features of the present invention.

2 is a diagram showing a state diagram of a control method for displaying identification information of a calling terminal by a general method.

In the following drawings and detailed description for explaining embodiments of the present invention, the calling-side mobile terminal 100-1 (hereinafter referred to as the calling terminal) that sends a call signal and the receiving-side mobile terminal 100-2 receiving the call signal, Hereinafter, the receiving terminal) will be distinguished and illustrated. This distinction is simply used to distinguish the calling party and the receiving party.

Referring to FIG. 2, the calling terminal 100-1 having the calling telephone number 201 transmits a call signal to the receiving terminal 100-2. In this case, it is obvious that the call signal can be transmitted from the calling terminal 100-1 to the receiving terminal 100-2 through the calling base station and the receiving base station.

Generally, when the receiving terminal 100-2 receives a call signal, the receiving terminal 100-2 outputs the telephone number of the calling party through its display unit. This output will be described in detail through FIG. 2.

When the call signal is received from the calling terminal 100-1, the receiving terminal 100-2 notifies the ringer output 202-2 or the vibration output 202-3 to indicate that the call signal is being received. A popup window 202-1 may be output. The notification pop-up window 202-1 output in response to the reception of the call signal may include the telephone number 201 of the calling terminal.

However, if the user is unable to check the display unit 151, there is a disadvantage that the calling party cannot be identified even if the calling party's phone number is being output on the display unit 151. For example, a situation in which objects are held in both hands and the mobile terminal 100 is located in a user's pocket or the like. As another example, when driving the car, there is a situation in which both hands must hold the handle or gear bar of the car. In this situation, even if the telephone number of the calling party is being output through the display unit 151, the user cannot identify who the calling party is because the display unit 151 cannot be checked.

That is, according to the above-described method, since it relies only on a limited output of the display unit 151, it may be somewhat limited to transmit information on the identified calling party to the user in various situations.

Accordingly, in one embodiment of the present invention, it is proposed to transmit information about the calling party to the user through an output form other than the output form of the display unit 151. The information on the calling party will include the telephone number of the calling party in the embodiments described below.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of configuring and outputting a melody based on caller identification information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In one embodiment of the present invention, it is proposed to construct a melody based on caller identification information when receiving a call signal. Here, the caller identification information may include a calling phone number.

For example, the receiving terminal 100-2 may configure a melody using the numbers included in the calling telephone number, and output the configured melody as a ring tone for announcing the call signal. If through this method, the user may be able to identify the calling party by using the corresponding ringtone. If the telephone number cannot be identified only by listening to the ringtone, the counterpart corresponding to the ringtone may be identified.

Hereinafter, the control method described through FIG. 3 will be described based on the operation in the receiving terminal 100-2.

In step S301, the control unit 180 of the receiving terminal 100-2 receives a call signal from the calling terminal 100-1. Subsequently, in step S302, the controller 180 may receive identification information (caller identification information) of the calling terminal 100-1 from the base station.

In step S303, the controller 180 determines whether the identified calling telephone number is pre-stored in the memory 170. For example, the receiving terminal 100-2 determines whether there is a phone number previously stored in the contact number that matches the calling number. As a result of the determination, if the phone number is not already stored in the memory 170, the process proceeds to step S304.

In step S304, the controller 180 may output a basic ringtone and end the flowchart. That is, the reception terminal 100-2 outputs only the basic ring tone when receiving a call signal from the other party that is not stored in the contact information.

In step S305, the controller 180 configures a melody based on the caller identification information received in step S302. The method of configuring the melody will be described later in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5A.

In step S306, the configured melody may be output as a ringtone for the received call signal and the flowchart may end.

That is, in one embodiment of the present invention as described above, by outputting the ringtone differently according to the calling party, the user of the receiving terminal 100-2 has the advantage of being able to easily identify the calling party even by listening only to the ringtone.

As described above, in order to output the ringtone differently, various methods may exist. As an example, there is a method for a user to individually set a ringtone for each phone number written in a contact. However, according to this method, there is a hassle of having to set a ringtone for each phone number. Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, it is proposed to automatically generate a melody based on caller identification information and output the generated melody as a ringtone. A specific example of this method will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5A.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a control method for generating a melody based on caller identification information according to an embodiment of the present invention. 5A is a diagram showing an example of an outgoing telephone number structure for explaining an embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5A, a control method for generating a melody using an outgoing phone number included in caller identification information will be described as an example. However, the method of using the calling telephone number among the calling party identification information is only an example. That is, the embodiments of the present invention may be applicable to the entire control method of identifying the calling party using the caller identification information and outputting a melody corresponding to the identified calling party.

The structure of the phone number may vary depending on the country where the phone number is used. Korea's telephone number system is regulated in accordance with Chapter 2 of the Telecommunications Number Management Regulations announced by the Korea Communications Commission. An example of the Korean phone number shown in FIG. 5A is divided into three areas using the'-' symbol, and each area is a communication network identification number 501/region identification number 502, station number 503, and subscriber It consists of individual numbers 504.

The communication network identification number 501 refers to a number consisting of three digits for identifying a mobile communication provider to which the mobile terminal has subscribed, and "010", "011", and "016" are currently used in Korea. The communication network identification number is located at the front of the telephone number, as shown in FIG. 5A.

The area identification number 502 refers to a number consisting of 2 to 3 digits for identifying the area of use of the landline telephone, and is located at the front of the phone number, like the communication network identification number 501.

The station number 503 is a number for indicating the country name of the telephone exchange, and can be classified according to the purpose of the phone number. The station number 503 may consist of a maximum of 4 digits, and is located next to the communication network identification number 501/region identification number 502 on the telephone number.

Lastly, the subscriber's individual number 504 refers to a 4-digit number or a randomly assigned 4-digit number selected by a subscriber who subscribes to a mobile communication or landline telephone, and refers to a number assigned to identify between numbers having the same station number. .

Since the structure of such a telephone number is also only an example, an embodiment of the present invention will not be limited to such a telephone number structure. That is, an embodiment of the present invention may be applicable to various phone number structures divided into countries, uses, and communication methods.

That is, the phone number can be divided into a plurality of numeric strings according to the role as described above. In the example of the above-described telephone number structure, each of the communication network identification number 501/region identification number 502, station number 503, and subscriber individual number 504 may be sequentially referred to as first to third numeric strings.

In one embodiment of the present invention, it is proposed to construct a melody using the structure of the phone number divided as described above. The number sequence may be used for at least one of a sound determination, a tempo determination, and a tone determination required in constructing a melody. For example, the tempo of the melody may be determined using the first numeric string, and the tone of the melody may be determined using the second numeric string.

In describing the embodiment of FIG. 4, the tempo is determined using the communication network identification number 501, which is the first numeric string, and the second and third numeric strings (station number 503 and subscriber individual number 504) are determined. It is used to determine the sound, but this is only an example.

In step S401, the controller 180 can set the tempo (fast) of the melody based on the communication network identification number 501/region identification number 502.

In step S402, the controller 180 can designate the tone of the melody based on the station number 503 and the user's individual number 504. In this case, the station number and the subscriber's individual number are composed of a plurality of numbers, and the controller 180 may designate notes constituting the melody with notes corresponding to each of the plurality of numbers. Table 1 below is an example of matching notes to numbers.

number Corresponding notes 0 Degree One Degree# 2 re 3 re# 4 beauty 5 wave 6 wave# 7 brush 8 brush# 9 la

For example, assuming that the station number 503 of the calling telephone number is "4132" and the subscriber individual number 504 is "9586", the notes constituting the melody are "Mi-Do#-Le#-Le -D-wave-sol#-wave#". In one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to match the notes in the numerical order included in the station number 503 and the subscriber's individual number 504.

Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, when the calling telephone number is a number that is frequently transmitted/received (that is, a telephone number having a high frequency of use), it is proposed to identify the melody itself by varying the tone of the melody.

In step S403, the controller 180 may determine the tone of the melody based on the frequency of calls with the calling telephone number. A tone is a sensational characteristic of sound, which is caused by a difference in components that make a sound, and can be changed depending on a sound generating body or a vibration method that makes a sound regardless of the height or size of the sound. For example, there is a difference between a "do" sound made from a piano and a "do" sound made from a violin, so it can be considered as a different tone.

In step S403 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 180 may change the tone of the melody from the basic tone to another tone when the rank of the calling frequency of the corresponding calling telephone number is included in a predetermined equal number.

Alternatively, in another embodiment of the present invention, it may be set to have different voices for each rank of the frequency of calls.

In step S403, the controller 180 may configure (create) the melody using the tempo, sound, and tone specified in the preceding step.

That is, according to the embodiment described above with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5A, the receiving terminal 100-2 receiving the call signal identifies the identified calling terminal 100-1 and identifies the calling terminal 100-1. By outputting a melody corresponding to, there is an advantage that the user can transmit information about the opposite terminal to the sound output.

On the other hand, in another embodiment of the present invention, it is proposed to change the vibration pattern based on the identification information of the other party. This embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 5B.

5B is a diagram illustrating a control method of controlling a vibration pattern using a telephone number structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In one embodiment of the present invention, it is proposed to change the vibration pattern using at least one of a plurality of numeric strings constituting a telephone number. In the example described with reference to FIG. 5B, it is proposed to change the vibration pattern using the subscriber's individual number 504, but is not limited to this, and the communication network identification number 501, the local identification number 502, or the station number 503 ) Or a combination of these would also be possible.

The controller 180 according to an embodiment of the present invention may output the basic vibration pattern 505-1 as shown in FIG. 5B (a), if the calling telephone number is not previously stored in the memory 170. . In addition, when the calling telephone number is pre-stored in the memory 170, the controller 180 according to an embodiment of the present invention outputs a vibration pattern corresponding to the subscriber's individual number 504 in response to the reception of a call signal. can do.

That is, according to the above-described embodiment, the user may be able to identify the calling party through the output vibration pattern.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5B (b), when the subscriber's individual number 504-2 of the calling telephone number is "9416", the controller 180 sets the vibration pattern 505-2 corresponding to "9416". Can print In this case, the plurality of vibrations 506-1 to 506-4 constituting the vibration pattern may respectively correspond to the subscriber individual number 504-2. And, the duration of each corresponding vibration may be proportional to the corresponding number. That is, the vibration 506-1 corresponding to the number "9" may have a duration proportional to "9".

Similarly, as shown in FIG. 5B (c), when the subscriber's individual number 504-3 of the calling telephone number is "2385", the controller 180 outputs a vibration pattern 505-3 corresponding to "2385". You can.

Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, a control method for changing the output of the receiving terminal 100-2 by a predetermined command received by the calling terminal 100-1 while the call signal is being transmitted is further proposed. I want to. This embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 6.

6 is a diagram for a control method for changing a change in output indicating that a call signal is received, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The user of the calling terminal 100-1 may want to prompt the user to respond quickly to the call signal when the user signal of the receiving terminal 100-2 does not respond. Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, in this case, it is proposed to change the notification method of the call signal output from the receiving terminal 100-2. For example, a method of changing the tempo of the ringtone output from the receiving terminal 100-2 is exemplified.

Referring to FIG. 6, a call signal is being transmitted from the calling terminal 100-1 to the receiving terminal 100-2. In this case, as described above, the receiving terminal 100-2 outputs at least one of a ring tone output 202-2, a vibration output 202-3, and a notification pop-up window 202-1, so that the receiving terminal 100 It is possible to inform the user of -2) that a call signal is being received.

When a predetermined command is received from the user of the calling terminal 100-1 through the calling terminal 100-1, the receiving terminal 100-2 may output the ringtone output 202-2 and the vibration output 202- 3) and the output of at least one of the notification pop-up window 202-1 may be changed and output.

That is, according to the above-described embodiment, the user of the receiving terminal 100-2 will know that the user of the calling terminal 100-1 is prompting a response.

In one embodiment of the present invention, it is further proposed to transmit the voice of the calling party by further proceeding as a method for prompting the response of the call signal. This embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 7.

7 and 8 are diagrams illustrating a control method of transmitting a voice message from the calling terminal 100-1 to the receiving terminal 100-2 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, a call signal is being transmitted from the calling terminal 100-1 to the receiving terminal 100-2.
