Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG.

If the key input signal is input from the key input unit 118, the controller 111 proceeds to step 202 and checks whether the input key input signal is a function key input signal. If the check result is the function key input signal, the controller 111 proceeds to step 204. Otherwise, the controller 111 proceeds to step 222 to perform the corresponding function. If the key input signal is input from the key input unit 118 in step 202, the controller 111 checks whether the input signal is the explanatory key. If the input key input signal is a key input signal corresponding to the explanation key, the controller 111 proceeds to step 228. If the key input signal is not a key input signal corresponding to the explanation key, Here, the 'explanation key' may be provided separately as in the description of FIG. 1, or the function may be scrolled using another key. In the present invention, it is assumed that the above explanatory key is further provided. The controller 111 sequentially displays the sub-description menu of the function key on the display unit 119 in step 204. In step 228, Table 1 below shows sub-menus corresponding to the function keys.

function Numeric keys Subfeatures Function Key (FCN) One Register your area 0 Automatic dialing One Automatic reception ... 2 Block song tone 0 Telephone / Lamp / Vibration One Select ringtone ... 3 Current time setting 0 Find your phone number One (Busy) Electronic mute ...

As shown in Table 1, when the function key is input and the 1 key is selected, the function that can be selected and set is shown. The settable number and function are also shown.

Accordingly, if the function key is input in step 202 and the explanation key is input in step 202, the control unit 111 selects a sub menu corresponding to the function key and the first key, a function key, a menu corresponding to the first key and the first key, The menu is sequentially displayed in that order. If the key input signal corresponding to the selection key is received from the key input unit 118 in step 22, the controller 111 proceeds to step 232. If the selection key is not input, the controller 111 proceeds to step 264, It is checked whether or not all the menus as described above are displayed on the display unit 119. If all the menus are displayed on the display unit 119, the controller 111 sequentially proceeds to step 204. If all menus are not displayed, the controller 111 sequentially displays the menus of the first menu on the display unit 119 in step 228. In step 230, the controller 111 displays a description of the menu displayed on the display unit 119 on the display unit. At this time, if the description displayed on the display unit 119 can not be displayed on the display unit at a time, the display unit 119 displays the description for a predetermined time and continues to display the remaining description.

In step 204, the controller 111 determines whether the key input signal is a key input signal corresponding to the number key 1. If the input key input signal is a key input signal corresponding to the numeric key 1, the controller 111 proceeds to step 236. If the input key input signal is not a key input signal corresponding to one key, . In step 206, the control unit 111 determines whether a description key is input from the key input unit 118. When the test result explaining key is input, the controller 111 sequentially displays the function key and the sub-menu after the input of the 1 key on the display unit 119 on the display unit 119. [ This will be described with reference to Table 1 above. First, the local area registration is displayed. Next, automatic dialing and automatic reception are sequentially displayed. At the same time, a key to be added is displayed. If there is no key to be added at this time, it means that the function can be performed only by inputting the function key and the 1 key. The control unit 111 sequentially displays the submenus of Table 1 and checks whether the selection key is input from the key input unit 118. [ If the check result selection key is input, the controller 111 proceeds to step 242. If the check result selection key is not input, the controller 111 determines whether all the types of the lower menu have been displayed. The controller 111 proceeds to step 236 if all of the sub-menus of the inspection result are displayed, and proceeds to step 238 if the sub-menus of all of the inspection results are not displayed. If the selection key is input in step 240, the control unit 111 reads a usage description stored in the memory unit 117 and displays a usage description on the display unit 119. [ At this time, if the displayed amount is large, the display amount is displayed for a predetermined time. In step 242, the controller 111 determines whether the description is completed. The controller 111 proceeds to step 236 when the test result description is completed, and proceeds to step 242 when the description is not finished.

In step 206, the controller 111 determines whether the key input signal received from the key input unit 118 is a key input signal corresponding to the number key 2. If the key input signal is a key input signal corresponding to the number key 2, the controller 111 proceeds to step 250. If the key input signal is not a key input signal corresponding to the number key 2, the controller 111 proceeds to step 210 . In step 208, the controller 111 sequentially displays submenus corresponding to the number key 2 on the display unit 119 in the same manner as steps 236 to 248, and when the selection key is input, A description of the displayed menu is displayed on the display unit 119. [

In step 208, the controller 111 determines whether the input key is a key input signal corresponding to the number key 3. If the key input signal corresponding to the number key 3 is received, the controller 111 proceeds to step 212. If the key input signal is not the key input signal corresponding to the number key 3, the controller 111 proceeds to step 224, Print an error message. In step 210, the control unit 111 checks whether the explanation key is input from the key input unit 118. The controller 111 proceeds to step 214 if the check result description key is input and performs a function corresponding to the function key and the number key 3 if the check result description key is not input.

The controller 111 sequentially displays the submenu as shown in Table 1 for a predetermined time in step 212 and proceeds to step 214 to determine whether a key input signal corresponding to the selection key is received from the key input unit 118 Inspect. The controller 111 reads the data corresponding to the lower menu displayed on the display unit 119 from the memory unit 117 to display a description if the check result selection key is input, and proceeds to step 220 to check whether the description is terminated. The controller 111 proceeds to step 212. If the test result is not completed, the controller 111 repeats step 218. [

In the embodiment of FIG. 2, when the description of the submenu is completed, it is checked whether the explanation key is inputted again. For example, when the function key, the numeric key 1, and the numeric key 1 are pressed and the explanation key is pressed after the explanation is completed, the function key and the number key 1 are pressed.

3 is a control flow chart for displaying a usage description of a cellular phone according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG.

If the key input signal is received from the key input unit 118, the controller 111 proceeds to step 302 and checks whether the received key input signal is a description key input signal. If the test result description key input signal is received, the controller 111 proceeds to step 304, and if not, the controller 111 proceeds to step 330 and performs a corresponding function.

In step 302, the control unit 111 displays on the display unit 119 a type of a key for which data stored in the memory unit 117 can be set. In Table 1, only the lower menu corresponding to the function key (FCN) key is shown, but the recall key (RCL), the storage key (STO), and other explanatory keys are sequentially displayed at predetermined time intervals. The control unit 111 displays the above-described explanatory key on the display unit 119 and checks whether the key input signal corresponding to the selected key is received from the key input unit 118. [ If the selection key is input from the key input unit 118 as a result of the check, the control unit 111 proceeds to step 308 to sequentially display the selectable keys corresponding to the keys. If the select key is not input, It is checked whether all possible keys are displayed on the display unit 119. [ If the selected key is a function key described above with reference to Table 1, the selectable numeric keys 1, 2, 3 and a brief description are displayed on the display unit 119. The controller 111 displays the selectable key in step 308 and proceeds to step 310 and checks whether the select key is input from the key input unit 118. [ The controller 111 displays a description of the function in step 322 and displays the next menu in step 324 again. Further, if there is a submenu in the selected key, the user can further select the submenu.

If the selection key is not input in step 210, the controller 111 proceeds to step 312 and checks whether the stop key input signal is received from the key input unit 118. When the stop key input signal is received, the control unit 111 terminates the explanation function and proceeds to step 324 if no stop key input signal is received.

On the other hand, if the selection key is not input from the key input unit 118 in step 306, the control unit 111 determines whether all the explanatory keys have been displayed in step 314. The control unit 111 displays the menu sequentially on the display unit 119 starting from the sub-menu of the first key displayed on the display unit 119 in step 316. In step 316, If all the menus for explaining the inspection result are not displayed, the controller 111 proceeds to step 304. In step 316, the control unit 111 sequentially displays the sub-menu and checks whether the selection key is input from the key input unit 118. [ If the check result selection key is input, the controller 111 proceeds to step 322. If the check result selection key is not input, the controller 111 proceeds to step 320 and checks whether the stop key is input from the key input unit 118. [ If the stop key is input, the control unit 111 ends the description mode. If the stop key is not input, the control unit 111 proceeds to step 316.

As described above, since the usage description is stored in the memory provided in the communication terminal and the user can display a desired usage description if desired, all the functions can be checked and used without using the user's manual. Also, in case of a function that you do not know during use, you can display the description of the function immediately after inputting the explanation key so that the function can be explained during use.
