The selector displayed on the display window, which is the most basic logical structure, is described in more detail in order to improve the user information access function in the mobile communication terminal.

The selector (menu_item) consists of selectable letters or numbers or picture objects or mixtures thereof. This selector consists of selector components.

The selector may be displayed on the information display window of the mobile communication terminal in the form of a character string or a small figure or a figure, and the user may select, execute, and change the selector of the type by using a special function key of the terminal. Looking at the structure of these selectors (menu_item):

Selector (menu_item) = {name, priority, priority_type, access_no, price, address, function_name, display_type, version, authentification}

Each component of the selector (menu_item) as described above will be described in detail as follows.

"Selector name (menu_item.name) represents a selector name in which a selector displayed on the display window of the mobile communication terminal is displayed or partially displayed on the display window of the terminal.

"Picture object information (menu_item.icon)" indicates picture object information displayed on the display window of the terminal or partially or not displayed when listing the selectors on the display window of the mobile communication terminal.

"Listing priority (menu_item.priority)" indicates a list order of selectors when listing selectors on a display window of a mobile communication terminal.

"Price information (menu_item.price)" indicates usage fee information that is displayed or partially displayed on the display window of the terminal when the selector is listed on the display window of the mobile communication terminal.

"Network access information (menu_item.access_no)" indicates network access information that can automatically access a network when a selector is selected on the display window of the mobile communication terminal.

"Update number (menu_item.version)" indicates a code for checking whether the terminal or the network is new or old when the user of the network or the mobile communication terminal wants to update, add or delete information or functions of the selector.

The selector as described above is displayed in FIGS. 2A and 2B in the form of a character string or a picture on the display window of the terminal.

Referring to Figs. 2A and 2B, the selector display process in the terminal will be described in detail. First, the terminal holder selects a required function using function keys arranged at left and right sides.

In general, when the user operates the selector display and execution function keys (center key in this embodiment) to reconsider the convenience of the terminal operation to the terminal holder, the most frequently used functions are first placed and arranged on the left and right sides. Minimize the number of selector selection keys (priority management). In addition, a network access number or the like with a relatively large number of key manipulations is registered as a selector component and automatically transmitted (selector component).

Referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, a process of displaying a selector in user (a) and user (b) terminals will be described. Here, user (a) represents a mobile communication terminal user mainly using a game room, and user (b) represents a mobile communication terminal owner mainly using a clock function.

As shown in (Table 1) below, the user terminals (a) and (b) have a priority calculated according to the user's use mode, and selectors are displayed on the display window according to the arrangement priority.

Example 1 Example 2 00: Securities News [200_ 00: International call [001_ 01: Phone book <2 01: Phone book <2 02: Game room {# 018 02: world clock / taco 03: world clock / taco 03: Securities News [200_ 04: International call [001_ 04: Game room {# 018_ 05: Digital Recorder 05: Digital Recorder ... ... 99: Special function <5 99: Special function <5

Referring to (Table 1), in the general mobile communication terminal, only selectors "00" and "01" are initially displayed due to the size constraints of the display window.

If the user mainly listens to the voice stock information using the mobile communication terminal, the stock news is displayed as a selector as "00" as in Example 1. At this time, when the user of Example 1 wants to listen to the voice stock information later, the user may rehearse by operating the selection button of the terminal once. In this case, the user does not need to store an access number of the voice stock information service or store the access number in the terminal. However, even if the access number is changed by the network operator in the future, the user operates the selection button that is the same procedure once. You can reconnect. At this time, if necessary, such as when the voice securities information access number is changed by the operator, it is automatically updated through the selector component update function.

As such, the display window of the owner of the mobile communication terminal which mainly uses the securities news is illustrated in FIG. 3A.

On the other hand, in the case of a user mainly using international calls, as shown in Example 2, the international call "00" selector. The same can be applied to calling a special function of the terminal, for example, a function such as storing a recently accessed telephone number or a clock function. That is, by applying the same method to the execution of the unit function of the terminal as well as the voice, data, and message network access functions, a unified user access method can be provided.

As such, a display window of a mobile communication terminal owner frequently making international calls is illustrated in FIG. 3B.

Now, the network access procedure of the user information management method according to the present invention will be described in more detail.

For example, a network connection example for connecting to the karaoke service 700-7879 is compared with the existing method and the method of the present invention. Here, the procedure is similarly applied not only to voice network connection but also to message (SMS) and data (Packet or Circuit) network connection.

In order to access the karaoke, the conventional method inputs a total of " 1 + 7 + 1 = 9 " times with " &lt; &lt; END &gt; + &lt; 7007879 &gt; &lt; SEND &gt; In case of recent use, enter the key twice in total with "<.> + <.>" (Note the same key input), or "<.> + <V> when the karaoke service has not been used recently. + ... <V> + <.> ", Where the number of times is related to the frequency of recently used, and in no case need to enter the network access number 700-7879, Only input of the key to execute is required.) Therefore, the user does not need to know when the network access number changes. In addition, when the karaoke service number (network access number) is changed, it can be updated using the network access information update / add / delete function automatically or manually.

The process of displaying the selector will be described in more detail as follows.

When selecting a selector on a display window of a mobile communication terminal, the selector display process determines the order in which the terminal user selects the selector for a specific time period, or when the selector is selected, or by weighting the selected elapsed time of the selector. have. Of course, in addition to this method, it is obvious that the user can arrange the list order based on various histories of selecting a selector. Here, in the selector display method, as a priority, when selecting selectors on the display window of the mobile communication terminal, the selectors frequently selected within a specific period may be given priority or the order of selection is given more recently. .

In addition, in the display method of the selector, a priority method and a fixed priority method may be used, which is the number of times a terminal user selects a selector when the selector is listed in an information window of a mobile communication terminal, or when the selector is selected, or a selection. The order of listing can be determined by weighting the selected elapsed time of the child.

In addition, in the selector display method, the presence or absence of a network connection may be displayed. When listing the selectors in the information window of the mobile communication terminal, the selector may display a letter or a symbol indicating the necessity of the network connection.

In addition, in the selector display method, duplicate selectors may be deleted. When selecting or adding selectors to an information window of a mobile terminal, the selector name, selector network access number, selector update number, or selector authentication code Duplicate selectors can not be displayed or deleted using

Further, in the selector display method, when displaying the selector or the element of the selector in the information window of the mobile communication terminal, a part or all of the appropriately selected group of selectors are automatically flowed vertically or horizontally in order to efficiently use the finite terminal display window. Can be adjusted.

In addition, in the selector display method, the flow selector one-touch function may be activated. In order to activate the above function, a group of selectors, a selector, or a component of the selector is displayed as the flow function on the display window of the terminal. The selector or the component of the selector displayed on the terminal display window can be activated by a suitable method such as a special button on the terminal, an arbitrary button, or a voice.

In addition, in the selector display method, one-touch information can be transmitted during flow, which is used to provide / display commercial information (ie, advertisement) from a communication network or one-touch using the flow method in the information window of the mobile communication terminal. When activated, an acknowledgment message may be transmitted including attribute information of the terminal, recognition start information, expression content information, and the like.

In addition, in the selector display method, a network access number may be used. When the selector is listed on the display window of the mobile communication terminal, the selector may be displayed on the display window of the terminal, or may be partially displayed or not displayed. Information (ie, telephone number or code, message communication access code, wireless communication access number or code, etc.) can be logically combined to facilitate network access.

In addition, in the selector display method, fee information may be displayed. When the selector is listed on the display window of the mobile communication terminal, the fee information may be displayed on the selector or may be partially displayed.

In the information management method of the selector, an online update is possible. When the selector is listed on the display window of the mobile communication terminal, the component value of the selector is updated online through an appropriate method or the terminal attempt update is requested. Or a network attempt update.

In addition, in the information management scheme of the selector, it is possible to determine the necessity of an online update, which is to update the selector's component values online through an appropriate method, request a terminal attempt update, or perform a network attempt update. In doing so, determination of the request for updating may be performed using all or part of the component of the selector.

In addition, in the selector's information management scheme, it is possible to authenticate for online update / addition, which means that all or part of the selector's components, when attempting to update or add the selector's component values in an appropriate manner, or The device serial number (ESN) or subscriber number of the terminal may be used to allow the update or addition of the selector.

In the information management scheme of the selector, when an online update / addition (i.e., update or add a component value of the selector or the selector itself) is performed, a dual tone multi frequency (DTMF) signal is used as the information medium. Alternatively, short message service (SMS) or wireless data communication may be used.

As a component or function of the selector as described above, the terminal may access a voice or message network or a data communication network, or may perform a specific internal function of the terminal. In addition, in the function of the selector, it is possible to transmit selector use frequency / time information, which is a function of transmitting use information such as frequency or use time information at which the selector is used from the terminal to the communication network. In addition, in the function of the selector, terminal remote fault diagnosis and function update are possible, which is a remote diagnosis function and operation information transmission function from a network.
