Hereinafter, an embodiment of a method for receiving a call while using a navigation system of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In this process, the thickness of the lines or the size of components shown in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity and convenience of description. In addition, terms to be described later are terms defined in consideration of functions in the present invention, which may vary according to the intention or custom of users or operators. Therefore, definitions of these terms should be made based on the contents throughout the present specification.

1 is an exemplary view showing a schematic configuration of a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, a mobile communication terminal (eg, a smartphone terminal) according to the present embodiment includes a GPS receiving unit 110, a phone receiving unit 120, a storage unit 130, a short-range communication unit 140, and It includes a control unit 150.

The GPS receiver 110 detects the current position of the mobile communication terminal by processing a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal.

The phone receiver 120 receives a phone call (or text message) through a mobile communication modem (not shown) built into the mobile communication terminal.

The storage unit 130 includes phone number information registered by the user, phone/text log (i.e., history or statistics using phone and text), environment setting information related to phone/text reception, and priority information related to phone/text reception. , At least one of the location information detected through the GPS receiver 110 is stored.

The short-range communication unit 140 uses a short-range wireless communication method (eg, infrared, NFC, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.) to connect the mobile communication terminal and another smart phone, the smart phone and earphone/headset, the smart phone and smart pad, etc. Connect.

Transmitting/receiving voice/text information received by the mobile communication terminal using the short-range communication unit 140 with another smartphone, smart pad, smart watch, or Bluetooth earphone/headset connected to the mobile communication terminal through a short-range wireless communication method. can do.

The control unit 150 automatically receives a call (or text) according to a current situation (eg, operation status, current location, application usage status, etc.) and preset conditions of the mobile communication terminal when a call (or text message) is received, It is possible to prevent an accident by replying or blocking, and selectively performing a call (or text) notification to the driver.

At this time, the control unit 150 includes a log analysis unit 151, a priority analysis unit 152, a current location analysis unit 153, and a communication conversion unit 154.

Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, for convenience of description, the operation of the control unit 150 is divided and described for each component 151 to 154, but in reality, the control unit 150 includes the components 151 to 154. 154) can be implemented in an integrated manner.

The log analysis unit 151 analyzes the log using sender information.

The log analysis unit 151 analyzes logs (ie, statistical information such as the number of times of use and hours of use per call partner) for each functional module (eg, GPS, text, phone, etc.) of the mobile communication terminal.

Through the log analysis, it is possible to determine a major communication party (ie, a counterpart that frequently calls). That is, through the log analysis, the ranking of the frequently called party can be set, and through the log analysis, the ranking of the areas in which phone calls or calls are frequently received (or the areas in which phone calls or calls are received less) can be set.

The priority analysis unit 152 may analyze a priority set by a user based on the sender information.

The current location analysis unit 153 is based on the GPS received information, the current location is an accident-prone area, a school zone, an intersection section, an entry/exit section, a speeding control guide section, a stopping/slowing area, a straight section, and a lot of information required. Analyze whether an area or an area where information is unnecessary.

Based on the location information analyzed by the current location analysis unit 153, it may be determined whether an accident risk is high or an accident risk is low. In the case of an area with a high risk of accidents, the risk of accidents can be prevented by blocking incoming calls (or incoming notifications) of phone calls or text messages so that the user does not operate the mobile communication terminal (navigation function).

When a phone call (or text message) is received, the communication conversion unit 154 converts the voice/text information received from the mobile communication terminal to another smartphone, smart pad, or smart watch connected to the mobile communication terminal through a short-range wireless communication method. , Or switch communication so that transmission/reception can be performed through Bluetooth earphones/headsets, etc.

In order for the communication conversion unit 154 to perform communication conversion, another smartphone, smart pad, or earphone/headset must be registered (or paired) to the mobile communication terminal (ie, the user's smartphone) in advance.

When registering (or pairing) communication-enabled devices such as other smartphones, smart pads, and smart watches to the mobile communication terminal (ie, the user's smartphone), it can be determined that other passengers are in the vehicle other than the driver. .

The communication conversion unit 154 controls the short-range communication unit 140 to register (or pair) a call (or text) received on the smartphone (ie, the user's smartphone) in advance. The communication is switched to a pad, a smart watch, or a Bluetooth earphone/headset so that calls or text messages can be transmitted/received.

The communication conversion unit 154 converts the call (or text) received from the user's mobile communication terminal (i.e., the user's smartphone) to another occupant as described above, so that the other occupant can make a call or receive a text message or reply. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the risk of accidents by preventing the driver from directly operating the mobile communication terminal (navigation function).

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of receiving a call while using a navigation system of a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that a user is using a navigation function installed in his or her mobile communication terminal while driving.

As shown in FIG. 2, when a call (or text) is received while the driver is using the navigation function installed in the mobile communication terminal (S101), the control unit 150 analyzes the log, analyzes the priority, and analyzes the current position. According to a combination of at least one or more conditions, the incoming call (or text message) is notified or notified (S102).

For example, the control unit 150 determines whether the call is a call (or text message) of a major communication person (ie, a person who frequently calls) based on the caller information of the incoming call (or text message). That is, it is determined whether the incoming call (or text message) is a call from a frequently called party, a spam call, or a first (or unknown) call.

In other words, the control unit 150 analyzes the log (ie, statistical information such as the number of times of use and usage time per caller) based on the caller information, and ranks the incoming call (or text) frequently calls (e.g., TOP). Determine if it is the other party of 10).

Alternatively, the control unit 150 determines whether the caller of the incoming call is a call (or text message) from an important caller (ie, a high priority caller) directly set by the driver, although the caller of the incoming call is not a caller.

And, based on the log analysis result and the priority analysis result, if it is a call (or text message) from an important party (i.e., a high-priority party) or a party with a priority (e.g., TOP 10) that you frequently call, The incoming call is automatically notified, otherwise the incoming call is not automatically announced.

For example, a party with a priority (eg, TOP 10) who calls frequently or a party with a high priority is likely to be a family member or a close friend.

In addition, the control unit 150 is based on the GPS received information, the current location is an accident-prone area, a school zone, an intersection section, an entry/exit section, a speeding control guide section, a stopping/slowing area, a straight section, an area requiring a lot of information, and a guide. Analyze whether information is unnecessary.

That is, it is possible to determine whether an accident risk is high or an accident risk is low. Accordingly, if there is a low risk of an accident or where the output of information information is unnecessary, the incoming call is automatically notified, and in an area with a high risk of an accident or where the output of information is required a lot, the incoming call is not automatically notified.

In addition, when an incoming call is automatically notified, an incoming call notification may be output indirectly so as not to affect safe driving through a HUD (Head Up Display).

In addition, even if the incoming call is not notified, the received call/text information is recorded, so that the user checks the received (received) history later (after the operation is finished) and, if necessary, makes a direct call (or text). Make it possible to call (or reply to) on the phone.

Meanwhile, in the above, the control unit 150 has described a method of controlling an incoming call notification of a phone call (or text), but according to a preset option (environment setting), the control unit 150 performs log analysis, priority analysis, and current According to a combination of at least one or more conditions of the location, the call (or text) of the other party is automatically received (or answered) or blocked (S103).

If the control unit 150 automatically receives or responds to a phone call (or text), it may receive and reply using a previously registered voice or text.

Alternatively, after notifying the incoming call (or text) according to a preset option (environment setting), when a specified specific time (for example, 10 seconds) elapses, the call (or text) of the other party can be automatically received or answered. have.

In the above, a method of notifying a user (driver) of receiving a phone call or text message, or automatically receiving (or replying to) a call or text message from the control unit 150 or blocking a call or text message has been described. However, an incoming call or text message may be important, and the driver may be curious about the content of the call or text message, so it is highly likely that you want to check the content of the call or text message.

Therefore, in this embodiment, when an additional occupant other than the driver is on board the vehicle, the content of the phone call or text is checked instead through the occupant, thereby solving the driver's (user)'s curiosity and quickly replying to an important call or text. I can do it.

The control unit 150 determines whether an additional occupant other than the driver is boarding (S104).

Whether or not the occupant is additionally boarded is that when a communication device such as another smartphone, smart pad, or smart watch registered (or paired) to the user's mobile communication terminal is connected, another occupant other than the driver is boarding the vehicle. I can judge. Of course, even if there are additional passengers, if the communication device of the passenger is not registered (or paired) with the user's mobile communication terminal, it is not possible to know whether the passenger has additional boarding.

As described above, the user of another smart phone or smart pad registered (or paired) with the user's mobile communication terminal may be determined to be close enough to receive a phone call or text message instead.

Therefore, if it is determined in the determination step (S104) that a passenger other than the driver is additionally boarding (YES in S104), the control unit 150 adds a call target from the user's mobile communication terminal (i.e., the user's smartphone). The call target is switched to the passenger's communication device (S106).

That is, communication is switched to another smartphone, smart pad, smart watch, etc. registered (or paired) with the user's mobile communication terminal.

Of course, the other party for receiving calls or texts by switching communication targets as described above is the other party with the priority (e.g., TOP 10) who makes frequent calls based on the log analysis result and priority analysis result, or the other party set by the driver directly. It can be limited to important opponents (i.e., high priority opponents).

And if it is determined in the determination step (S104) that no additional passengers other than the driver have boarded (No in S104), the control unit 150 performs at least one of the log analysis, priority analysis, and current location. According to a combination of conditions, a call is received (replied) or blocked according to a menu directly selected by the driver in response to an incoming call or text message (S105).

Of course, the operation in which the driver directly receives or responds to a call still poses a risk of an accident, but the control unit 150 makes a call according to a combination of at least one or more of the log analysis, priority analysis, and current location. Or, if the incoming call notification of text) is performed, it can be determined that the call is from a high-important counterpart and corresponds to an area with a relatively low risk of accident. In this case, even if the user makes a phone call directly, the risk of accidents can be reduced. have.

As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, but this is only an example, and various modifications and other equivalent embodiments are possible from those of ordinary skill in the field to which the technology pertains. I will understand the point. Therefore, the technical protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the following claims.
