Meanwhile, the mobile communication terminal supporting the short message service displays the incoming message on the LCD according to the user's selection. In addition to the simple display function, the mobile communication terminal provides a callback function. When the user requests a call with the caller in the display state of the incoming message, the callback function calls a phone number filled in the callback number field of the incoming message to form a call path.

However, as described above, since only the display and callback functions of the message have been provided in the past, there is a hassle of inputting the phone number of the other party to reply the message to the caller. Even if you want to deliver to, there was a cumbersome problem of having to rewrite the message.

The present invention has been proposed to solve such a conventional problem, and its purpose is to provide a reply function that can be edited and sent only a sentence without having to enter the other party's phone number when replying a message, and furthermore, It is to add a forwarding function capable of transmitting an incoming message to a third party even if only a number is input to the short message service of the mobile communication network.

In the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention for realizing the above object, a message processing method of a short service may include displaying an incoming message of a short service and displaying a service menu including at least a reply menu, and selecting the reply menu. And when the sentence editing mode is completed, when the sentence editing mode is completed, automatically transmitting the edit message or the new message to the calling number of the incoming message. do.

Preferably, the service menu includes a delivery menu; When the delivery menu is selected, proceeding to a sentence editing mode for editing the incoming message; and when the sentence editing mode is completed, proceeding to a called party number input mode for entering a number of a called party to which the editing message is to be sent. And when the input of the called party number is completed, transmitting the edit message to the corresponding number.

According to the present invention, it is not necessary to enter the phone number of the other party when the short message is to be returned, and convenience is provided when the short message is not required to be rewritten.

There may be a plurality of embodiments of the present invention. Hereinafter, preferred embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This embodiment allows for a better understanding of the objects, features and advantages of the present invention.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a message processing method of a short service according to the present invention.

As shown therein, the present invention displays an incoming message of a short service and displays a service menu including a caller callback menu, a reply menu, and a delivery menu (S211, S212), and when the callback menu is selected, the incoming message. Calling a telephone number filled in an originating number, ie, an originating address or a callback number field, to form a call path (S220, S231), and when the reply menu is selected, the incoming call is selected. Proceeding to a sentence editing mode in which a message can be edited or a new message is input (S220, S241); and when the sentence editing mode is completed, automatically transmitting the edit message or a new message to the caller ID of the incoming message. (S242, S243) and, if the delivery menu is selected, proceeding to the sentence editing mode for editing the incoming message (S220, S) 251), and when the sentence editing mode is completed, proceeding to a called party number input mode for inputting a called party's number to which the edit message is to be sent (S252, S253); and when the input of the called party number is completed, to the corresponding number. In step S254, the editing message is transmitted.

The message transmission / reception process by the message processing method of the short service according to the present invention thus made will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

First, when a short message destined for the mobile communication terminal 101 is sent from an arbitrary terminal connected to a fixed network or a mobile network, the mobile switching center 103 receiving the message fills a callback number field of a short message format to form a short service center. Send to 104.

The short message service center 104 requests the mobile switching center 103 to allocate a channel with the mobile communication terminal 101 when the short message is transmitted, and transmits a short message when the channel is allocated.

When the short message is received, the mobile communication terminal 101 displays it on the liquid crystal display (S211), and displays a service menu including a callback menu, a reply menu, and a delivery menu on the liquid crystal display (S212).

Then, when the callback menu is selected by the user of the mobile communication terminal 101, the mobile switching center 103 calls the caller's calling number, that is, the telephone number filled in the original address or the callback number field, to form a call path. (S220, S231).

When the reply menu is selected in step S220, the mobile communication terminal 101 proceeds to the sentence editing mode so that the user can edit the incoming message or input a new message (S220, S241).

When the sentence editing mode is completed, the mobile communication terminal 101 requests the formation of a call in order to send an edit message or a new message to the calling number of the incoming message, and through the base station 102 of the mobile communication terminal 101. After receiving the short message, the mobile switching center 103 changes the callback number in the short message format to the telephone number of the mobile communication terminal 101 and transmits the short message to the short service center 104 (S242).

The short message service center 104 requests the mobile switching center 103 to allocate a channel with the terminal to which the initial message was sent when the short message is delivered, and if the channel is allocated, the short message, that is, the edit message or the new message of step S241, is sent. Transmit (S243).

When the delivery menu is selected in step S220, the mobile communication terminal 101 also proceeds to sentence editing mode so that the user can edit the incoming message (S220, S251). Proceeds to the called party number input mode in which numbers can be input (S252, S253).

Then, when the input of the called party number is completed by the user and the number input mode is released, the mobile communication terminal 101 sends a call signal to the corresponding number input in step S253, and through the base station 102, the mobile communication terminal ( The mobile switching center 103 receiving the short message of 101 changes the callback number in the short message format to the telephone number of the mobile communication terminal 101 and then transmits the short message to the short service center 104.

The short message service center 104 requests the mobile switching center 103 to allocate a channel with the terminal having the called party number input in step S253 when the short message is delivered, and the short message, that is, the edit message of step S251, when the channel is allocated. It is transmitted (S254).

As described above, the present invention does not need to enter the other party's phone number when replying to a short message, and when the user wants to deliver a short message, the incoming message can be transmitted even if the user inputs only the phone number. Convenience is provided. In particular, the short-lived service is more likely than the one-time chat, as the one-to-one chats are continuously sent and received, it is obvious that the above convenience will be very noticeable.
