Description

How to change the skin of the mobile phone display unit {METHOD TO CHANGE SKIN FOR DISPLAY OF MOBILE PHONE}

The present invention relates to a method of changing a skin of a mobile phone display, and more particularly, to a method of changing a skin of a mobile phone display, in which a skin of a mobile phone display edited by a user is changed by a telephone number that is called or received.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a general mobile phone. As shown in FIG. 1, a duplexer 12 for separating a signal transmitted and received with a base station through an antenna 11 and an M for controlling a mobile phone for a telephone call and data communication are shown in FIG. A mobile station modem (MSM) 16 and an interface 15 modulate a signal to be transmitted from the MS 16 to transmit an RF signal through the duplexer 12 and the antenna 11. RF receiver 14 to demodulate the RF signal received through the antenna 11 and the duplexer 12 and outputs to the MS 16 via the interface 15 to the user, and the user, Keypad 17 for transmitting the key value received from the MS 16 to the MS, a display unit 18 for displaying the state and information of the mobile phone to the user by the control signal of the MS 16, and a microphone ( 21) the voice signal received through And a codec 20 for decoding the output signal of the MS 16 and outputting the decoded signal to the speaker 22, and a memory 19 for storing programs and data necessary for driving the MS 16. do.

In the conventional mobile phone configured as described above, the voice signal of the user is input through the microphone 21, coded by the codec 20, and the frequency is changed by the RF transmitter 14 to radiate to the base station through the antenna 11, The antenna 11 detects the signal output from the base station, changes the frequency in the RF receiver 13, changes the voice signal in the codec 20, and outputs a voice signal to the user through the speaker 22. Make a phone call.

In addition, by receiving a key value from the user via the keypad 17, the RF transmitter 14 changes the frequency to radiate to the base station through the antenna 11, and detects the signal output from the base station in the antenna 11 The frequency is changed by the RF receiver 13 and stored in the memory 19. Data stored in the memory 19 is displayed on the display unit 18 by a user's key input. In the same way as described above using a mobile phone performs voice communication and text communication.

In addition, when the user downloads a character, an icon, and various information from a mobile phone service provider to make the user's display part different from others, the operation of the MSM 16 is performed by the user through the display part 18. , Displays the information. After inputting the key value corresponding to the character, icon, and information desired by the user through the keypad 17, the frequency is changed in the RF transmitter 14 through the interface 15, and then the duplexer 12 and the antenna 11 are used. The base station transmits the signal received from the antenna of the mobile phone to the mobile phone service provider. The mobile phone service provider receiving the user's request transmits the corresponding character, icon, or information to the antenna 11 through the base station in response to the user's request. The signal input to the antenna 11 is input to the MS 16 through the interface 15 after the frequency is changed in the RF receiver 13 through the duplexer 12. The MS 16 which receives the output signal of the interface 15 stores the received signal in the memory 19 and displays it on the display unit 18.

However, in the conventional technology as described above, since the user cannot change the entire screen displayed on the mobile phone display part as the user's will, most of the display part of the mobile phone can be uniform and cannot cope with the taste of the user seeking personality, There is also a problem that makes the user easily get tired.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method of changing a skin of a mobile phone display unit in which a skin of a mobile phone display unit edited by a user is changed by a telephone number to be sent or received.

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a typical mobile phone.

According to the present invention for achieving the above object, when a call is made or received, it is determined whether the calling or incoming call number is a phone number stored in the mobile phone. A group checking step, a skin checking step of checking whether a skin corresponding to the group exists if the phone number is included in a specific group in the group checking step, and a skin corresponding to the group in the skin checking step A skin changing step of changing the skin displayed on the display to a skin corresponding to the group including the phone number; and if the skin corresponding to the group does not exist in the skin checking step, the skin displayed on the display is changed to a standard skin It is characterized by consisting of a standard skin step.

Hereinafter, with reference to Figures 2, 3 and 4 attached to the operation and effect of the method for changing the skin of the mobile phone display window according to the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a sequence of mapping a skin number to a group to be included in the telephone number to be stored in the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, if the telephone number to be stored is input, the telephone number will be included in a specific group. Determining whether to include a group determination step (S1) and the phone number input in the group determination step (S1) to a specific group to create a new group and determine whether to create a skin of the mobile phone display unit corresponding to the new group If a new group is not generated in the group creation determination step (S2) and the group creation determination step (S2), the phone number input in the group determination step is included in a specific group and the procedure is returned to the group determination step (S1). If a new group is created in the group selection step (S3) and the group creation determination step (S2), Skin generation step (S4) of creating a group by the received key value and editing a new skin corresponding to the group, and including a phone number in the group generated in the skin generation step (S4) and the group determination step (S1) Storage step of storing the phone number and returning to the group determining step (S1) if the group including step (S5) and the phone number input in the group determining step (S2) are not included in a specific group. S6).

In the skin generation step (S4), the method for editing a new skin is sequentially displayed by displaying information on various background colors, font colors, fonts, font sizes, border shapes, border thicknesses, character insertion statuses, and the like stored in memory in advance. It is selected by setting. In addition, it is possible to select skins expressing various themes such as bright mood, dark mood, Christmas mood, Valentine's mood, classic mood, and seasonal mood, which are downloaded from the computer and wireless internet and stored in advance in memory.
