Description

METHOD FOR CALL WITH PERSONAL COMMUNICATION TERMINAL

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to second generation personal mobile communication systems such as personal communication system (PCS) and GSM, and more particularly, to a technology related to a phone book service.

In general, a terminal used in a personal mobile communication system has a built-in memory, and various additional services may be provided using the memory. One of them is phonebook service. The phone book service is a function of storing a name or a trade name of a called party who frequently makes a call using a storage key, an edit key, and a corresponding telephone number in a memory. The memory automatically calls the terminal of the designated subscriber's telephone number if a call key (or SEND key) is pressed after the corresponding name or trade name of the stored called subscriber is pressed after the name or trade name of the called party is called. Therefore, using the phone book function has the effect that it is possible to talk to the subscriber without having to enter the subscriber's telephone number.

On the other hand, in the conventional phone book service, only one phone number is registered per one name or name of the called party, and when the name or the name of the other party to be called using the search menu of the phone is selected, the corresponding phone automatically is selected. It is configured to call. Therefore, if it is impossible to make a call with the corresponding phone number recorded in the phone book service (busy, busy call, power off (fault), etc.), the call is terminated and the other party finds the other phone number and dials directly. It was common to call

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to expand the function to assign only one phone number to one subscriber in the phone book function of the mobile phone, register several phone numbers to which one subscriber subscribes, and sequentially call the registered phone numbers. It is to provide a method to continuously try to call until a phone number that can be called.

According to the present invention for achieving the above object, a method of calling a mobile communication terminal, the method comprising: storing a plurality of telephone numbers corresponding to one subscriber of the mobile communication terminal, and sequentially connecting to the plurality of telephone numbers. It provides a call method in a mobile communication terminal comprising the step of attempting.

<Explanation of symbols for main parts of drawing>

100: key input unit 102: CPU

104: memory 106: display unit

108: signal processing unit 110: transmitting and receiving unit

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the configuration and operation of the present invention.

1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a personal mobile communication terminal. The key input unit 100 may input the subscriber's telephone number, the subscriber's business name or name. In addition, the key input unit 100 may have several function keys. In particular, the key input unit 100 may input a phonebook edit code using a combination of the function keys or a single key.

The CPU 102 recognizes that the edit key has been input from the key input unit 100, receives the subscriber's information data described above, and stores it in the phonebook area of the memory 104 according to the key input of the key input unit 100. The CPU 102 may inform the mobile communication terminal subscriber through the display unit 106 of information for inquiring whether to enter another telephone number of the subscriber as described above, Recognize phone numbers

When the signal processing unit 108 receives a call connection request signal for requesting a predetermined subscriber in the phonebook area of the memory 104, the signal processor 108 codes the phone number information from the CPU 102 and transmits / receives the unit 110. Through the over-the-air signal to the personal mobile communication device such as a base station.

2 is a flow chart illustrating a method of storing multiple telephone numbers, for example three, corresponding to one subscriber in a phonebook area in memory 104 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In step 202, the phonebook edit code is input through the key input unit 100 of the personal mobile communication terminal.

After entering the phonebook edit code, the subscriber of the mobile communication terminal enters the first telephone number together with the trade name or subscriber's name to be registered in the phonebook area of the memory 104, and then presses the storage code to enter the subscriber's information data. The CPU 102 then stores the first telephone number together with the trade name or subscriber's name to be registered in the phonebook area of the memory 104 of the subscriber's information data (step 204).

Here, the first, second, third, ..., the telephone number is displayed may indicate the registration order or priority.

In step 206, the CPU 102 displays via the display 106 whether to enter another telephone number corresponding to the aforementioned business name or subscriber name registered in the corresponding phonebook area and whether or not it is input from the subscriber. Enter a code that informs you.

In step 208, the CPU 102 determines whether a code indicating whether or not step 206 is entered is input.

If it is determined that another telephone number has been input, the CPU 102 stores it as the second telephone number (step 210).

If it is determined in step 208 that another telephone number has not been entered, the CPU 102 terminates all processes.

In step 212, the CPU 102 displays via the display 106 whether to enter a business name registered in the above-mentioned phonebook area in the memory 104 or another telephone number corresponding to the subscriber's name. Receive a code indicating whether or not to input from the subscriber.

In step 214, the CPU 102 determines whether a code indicating whether or not step 212 is input is input.

If it is determined in step 214 that another telephone number is entered, the CPU 102 stores it as the third telephone number (step 216).

If it is determined in step 214 that another telephone number has not been entered, the CPU 102 ends all processes.

In the above-described drawings, the step of storing three subscriber telephone numbers has been described, but steps 206 to 210, or steps 212 to 216 are repeated n-1 times to store the memory 104. It is possible to receive and store n phone numbers corresponding to one business name or name registered in the phonebook area of the memory 104.

FIG. 3 shows a flow chart illustrating one implementation step of making a call with a predetermined called party according to FIG. 2.

The subscriber of the mobile communication terminal calls the trade name or name of the subscriber stored in the phonebook area of the memory 104 via the key input unit 100 (step 302).

The CPU 102 attempts to set up a call to the subscriber of the mobile communication terminal to the specific telephone number selected from the first, second and third through the display unit 106 or the first, second and third telephone numbers. It is inquired whether or not to try the telephones in sequence (step 304).

As a result of the inquiry in step 304, when attempting to set up a call to a specific telephone number selected from the first, second, and third telephone numbers, the CPU 102 causes the call setup to be made to the corresponding telephone number designated by the user. A call connection is attempted (step 306).

However, as a result of the determination in step 304, when the CPU 102 attempts to set up the call sequentially to the first, second, and third telephone numbers, the CPU 102 sets up the call to the first telephone number registered in the phonebook to establish a call connection. Try (step 308).

Next, in step 310, the CPU 102 determines whether the call is connected to the first telephone number. At this time, if the call is connected to the first phone number, the call between the user and the other party will be performed. Otherwise, if the call is not connected to the first phone number, the process proceeds to step 314.

On the other hand, even if a call is connected, if a call is not made with the desired called party through the call connection, the calling party of the mobile terminal may terminate the call and then input a redial key (or send key). . Therefore, when the call is connected to the first telephone number as a result of the determination in step 310, after the call is terminated, the CPU 102 determines whether a redial key is input from the subscriber of the mobile communication subscriber station through the key input unit 100. Determine (step 312).

If it is determined in step 312 that the redial key is inputted, the flow proceeds to step 314.

In step 314, the CPU 102 attempts to establish a call by setting up a second telephone number registered in the second rank on the phonebook, and in step 316, whether the call is connected to the second telephone number. To judge.

As described above, in step 318, even if a call is connected, a call may not be made with the desired called party through the call-connected call path, or a call may not be made smoothly with the desired call subscriber. After termination, it is determined whether a redial key has been input, and if a redial key is input, the flow proceeds to step 320.

In step 320, a call setup is attempted by call setup again with a third phone number of the next rank registered on the phonebook, and as in step 322, it is determined whether the call is connected to the third phone number.

In the next step 324, as described above, when the call cannot be made even if the call is connected due to the absence of a desired called party, it is determined whether a redial key has been entered after the call is terminated.

As a result of the determination in step 324, if a redial key is entered, if no further phone number is registered in the phonebook, the flow returns to step 308.

However, if the determination of step 324 indicates that a redial key has not been entered, the call will be maintained until the call is terminated by the user because the call is being established with the desired called party.

In the present invention described above, when a mobile communication terminal subscriber wants to make a call with a called subscriber who wants to make a call by calling, the subscriber can store all telephone numbers that can be received by the called subscriber and connect them sequentially to increase the call rate. It works.
