Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for saving the power of a portable phone is provided to minimize the power consumption by a paging channel monitoring operation late at night by differently setting the index value of a slot mode according to each time period. CONSTITUTION: Using a slot index setup menu, a user adjusts the slot index value of an arbitrary time period as a power-saving mode value(S1). The user confirms whether the terminal is being charged at present and it belongs to a preset power-saving mode time period(S2,S3). In case that it is judged that the terminal is being charged at present and it belongs to the preset power-saving mode time period, the user sets the slot index value as the index value of the power-saving mode and monitors a paging channel(S4).

휴대폰의 절전 방법{POWERSAVING METHOD FOR PORTABLE TELEPHONE}How to save power on your phone {POWERSAVING METHOD FOR PORTABLE TELEPHONE}

본 발명은 CDMA(CDMA: Code Division Multiple Access) 단말기의 절전기술에 관한 것으로, 특히 CDMA 단말기의 대기모드에서 호출 채널을 감시하는 슬롯모드 방식을 개선하여 전력소모량을 줄일 수 있도록 한 휴대폰의 절전 방법에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a power saving technology of a CDMA (CDMA) terminal, and more particularly, to a power saving method of a mobile phone that can reduce power consumption by improving a slot mode method of monitoring a call channel in a standby mode of a CDMA terminal. It is about.

일반적으로, CDMA 단말기(이하, "단말기"라 칭함)의 슬롯모드에서 감시 주기를 결정하는 슬롯 인덱스값을 네트워크에서 결정하고, 단말기는 단지 그 슬롯 인덱스 값(슬롯 인덱스값: 2, 슬롯주기: 5.12초)을 사용하게 되어 있었다.In general, a slot index value for determining a monitoring period in a slot mode of a CDMA terminal (hereinafter referred to as a "terminal") is determined in the network, and the terminal merely determines its slot index value (slot index value: 2, slot period: 5.12). Was supposed to use).

이와 같인 종래 기술에 의한 단말기에서는 슬롯 인덱스값을 결정하는 기능이 없으므로 자체적으로 슬롯모드 인덱스값을 조정하여 절전모드를 수행할 수 없는 결함이 있었다.Since the terminal according to the related art does not have a function of determining the slot index value, there is a defect that the power saving mode cannot be performed by adjusting the slot mode index value by itself.

따라서, 본 발명의 목적은 단말기에서 자체적으로 슬롯모드의 인덱스값을 시간대에 따라 다르게 설정하여 비교적 통화량이 적은 심야 시간대에 호출채널 감시동작에 의한 전력소모량을 절감하는 휴대폰의 절전 방법을 제공함에 있다.Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a power saving method of a mobile phone in which the terminal sets its own index value of slot mode according to a time zone, thereby reducing power consumption due to a call channel monitoring operation in a night time zone with a relatively small amount of communication.

도 2는 본 발명에 의한 휴대폰의 절전 방법의 신호 흐름도.2 is a signal flowchart of a power saving method of a mobile phone according to the present invention;

S1-S6 : 제1-6단계S1-S6: Steps 1-6

본 발명에 의한 휴대폰의 절전 방법은 단말기 내에서 슬롯인덱스 설정메뉴를 제공하여 사용자로 하여금 임의의 시간대의 슬롯인덱스값을 절전모드의 값으로 조정할 수 있도록 하는 제1단계와; 현재 단말기가 충전 중이고, 기 설정된 절전모드 시간대에 속하는지 확인하여 절전조건이 성립하는 경우 슬롯인덱스값을 상기 절전모드의 인덱스값으로 설정하여 호출채널을 감시하는 제2단계로 이루어지는 것으로, 이와 같은 본 발명의 작용을 첨부한 도 1 및 도 2를 참조하여 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a power saving method of a mobile phone, comprising: a first step of providing a slot index setting menu in a terminal to enable a user to adjust a slot index value of an arbitrary time zone to a power saving mode value; When the terminal is charging and the power saving condition is satisfied by checking whether it belongs to the preset power saving mode time zone, the second step of monitoring the call channel by setting the slot index value to the index value of the power saving mode is performed. Referring to Figures 1 and 2 attached to the operation of the invention in detail as follows.

슬롯모드에서 인덱스값을 시간대에 따라 다르게 설정하기 위해 단말기 LCD창에 디스플레이되는 시간정보를 이용한다. 일반적으로 착신호 확률이 적어지는 시간이 되는 오전 0시가 되는 시점에서 인덱스값을 증가시키고, 통화 확률이 높아지는 시간인 오전 7시가 되는 시점에서 인덱스값을 원래의 값으로 설정한다.In slot mode, the time information displayed on the terminal LCD window is used to set the index value according to the time zone. Generally, the index value is increased at 0 am when the incoming call probability decreases, and the index value is set to the original value at 7 am when the call probability increases.

단말기가 충전기의 전원으로 충전되고 있는 상태에서는 굳이 전력소모를 줄일 필요가 없으므로 단말기는 충전검출회로를 이용하여 현재 충전상태에 있는지 확인하고, 그 확인결과 충전중인 상태에 있는 것으로 판명되면 설령 슬롯인덱스 변경시간대에 있더라도 이전의 슬롯인덱스값을 그대로 적용한다.Since the terminal does not need to reduce power consumption while the terminal is being charged by the charger, the terminal checks whether the terminal is in the state of charge using the charge detection circuit, and if it is found that the terminal is in the state of charging, the slot index is changed. Even if it is in the time zone, the previous slot index value is applied as it is.

또한, 주로 심야시간에 전화를 많이 사용하는 사용자를 감안하여, 단말기 메뉴 기능에 슬롯 인덱스 설정기능을 추가 함으로써, 그러한 사용자가 본의 아니게 사용상의 불편함을 겪지 않도록 하였다.In addition, in consideration of users who use a lot of phones mainly during the late night hours, by adding a slot index setting function to the terminal menu function, such users do not unintentionally suffer from inconvenience.

심야시간대에 슬롯모드 인덱스값을 증가시켜 호출채널을 감시하는 주기를 늘리면 수신신호에 대한 응답시간이 늘어날 수 있지만 심야시간의 수신호 특성상(낮 시간에 비하여 발신자가 기다리는 시간이 길어진다) 수신호 확률이 크게 떨어지지는 않는다.Increasing the interval of monitoring the call channel by increasing the slot mode index value in the midnight time zone may increase the response time for the received signal.However, due to the nature of the late night signal, the caller waits longer than the day time. Do not fall off.

종래 기술에서 언급한 바와 같이 통상적으로 슬롯모드 인덱스값은 2로 설정(슬롯사이클: 5.12초)되어 있다. 하지만, 본 발명의 일실시 예로써, 평상시의 슬롯모드 인덱스값을 2로, 심야시간에는 3(슬롯모드 사이클 10.24초) 또는 4(슬롯모드 사이클 20.48초)로 설정하는 것을 들 수 있다.As mentioned in the prior art, the slot mode index value is typically set to 2 (slot cycle: 5.12 seconds). However, as an embodiment of the present invention, the usual slot mode index value may be set to 2, and the night time may be set to 3 (slot mode cycle 10.24 seconds) or 4 (slot mode cycle 20.48 seconds).

도 1은 호출채널의 슬롯모드 동작시 구조를 나타낸 것이다. 여기서, 이고, 도 1에서는 슬롯주기가 1.28초()인 예를 보인 것이다.1 shows a structure of slot mode operation of a call channel. here, 1, the slot period is 1.28 seconds ( ) Is an example.

이상에서 상세히 설명한 바와 같이 본 발명은, 단말기에서 자체적으로 슬롯모드의 인덱스값을 시간대에 따라 다르게 설정할 수 있도록 함으로써, 사용자가 직접 심야시간대와 같이 비교적 통화량이 적은 시간대에 슬롯모드 인덱스값을 증가시켜 불필요하게 빈번하게 이루어지는 호출채널 감시동작에 의한 배터리 전원이 많이 소모되는 것을 방지할 수 있는 효과가 있다.As described in detail above, the present invention enables the terminal to set its own slot mode index value differently according to time zones, so that the user directly increases the slot mode index value in a relatively small time zone such as a late night time zone. There is an effect that can be prevented from using a lot of battery power by the frequent call channel monitoring operation.
