Description

Call forwarding method {METHOD FOR REJECT INCOMMING CALL}

The present invention relates to a mobile communication system, and more particularly, to a call blocking method.

Currently, a wireless mobile communication system provides a caller ID display service that displays a caller's telephone number.

Therefore, the called party can check the caller ID displayed on the display screen of the mobile terminal when the incoming call is received, and then confirm whether the call is not received.

However, in the related art, since the caller ID display method is simply serviced, the caller rejects the call when the phone number of the other party that he does not want to receive is confirmed after checking the number displayed on the screen on the terminal.

There is a problem that can give the user an inconvenience that needs to check the telephone number unnecessarily.

In addition, conventionally, even when a text message is received, there is a problem that the user may be uncomfortable by refusing to receive the text message through the same process as described above.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a call blocking method invented to block unnecessary incoming or incoming messages in advance by constructing a database of various information such as a phone number and an email address of a person who does not want to receive a call or a message in order to improve the conventional problem. The purpose is to provide.

110,130: terminal 120: base station

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises the steps of registering a specific person's telephone number or e-mail address to be rejected to receive or receive a message on the rejector list, and retrieving the rejector list when calling or sending a message from the specific person. Determining whether it is a number or an e-mail address, and notifying the other party's terminal of an incoming or outgoing message when it is confirmed with the registered phone number or e-mail address.

And deleting the address book of the specific person registered as the incoming or rejection of the message from the rejector list and recovering the specific person from the incoming or outgoing state.

The method may further include the step of enabling registration only under the approval of the user when the registration of the user's telephone number or e-mail address is requested from a specific person.

The rejector list is registered in the subscriber's own terminal or in the base station.

The rejector list may be searched on the web to identify, add, or delete a specific person who will refuse to receive or receive a message.

In the above, it is characterized in that the user's arbitrarily set the period of rejection of incoming or received messages.

In addition, the case in which the reception of the incoming call or the reception of the message to the specific person has been described above, but the reception or the reception of the message can be made only for the specific person registered in the address book.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a block diagram of a system for an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. Registered in the database on the base station 120, the base station 120 is a rejector registered in the terminal 110 when the terminal 130 determines that the call of the terminal 110 or the transmission of the message to the terminal 110 Search the list to see if it is a registered phone number or e-mail address. If it is confirmed with a registered phone number or e-mail address, the terminal 130 is notified that the terminal 110 is turned off to receive an incoming call or a message. Configure to block in advance.

Assuming that the rejector list is registered in the terminal 110, when the call or message transmission in the terminal 130, the base station 120 communicates with the terminal 110 to check whether the specific is registered in the rejector list, When it is confirmed that the terminal 130 is configured to notify that the terminal 110 is turned off.

The operation and the effect of the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to the operation flowcharts of FIGS. 2 and 3.

2 is an operation flowchart for message rejection, and FIG. 3 is an operation flowchart for message rejection / cancellation registration.

In the present invention, the subscriber A with the terminal 110 has a telephone number and / or e-mail address of the subscriber B in order to refuse / allow reception or reception of a message from the subscriber B having the terminal 130. It is possible to register / remove to a block list (block list = rejector list) a specific person in the address book in which the back is recorded.

The address book to be registered in the block list includes all information about a home phone number, a company phone number, an e-mail address, etc. for a person who is to be rejected to receive or receive a message.

In addition, the case where the user arbitrarily registers a specific person in his / her address book has been described. However, when a specific person (Subscriber B in FIG. 1) intends to register a user (Subscriber A in FIG. 1) in his / her address book, It can be configured to register the user's address book after the authorization process. In this case, the user may set this in the terminal or the Internet interoperating with the wireless network.

That is, when subscriber B in FIG. 1 attempts to register a subject (subscriber A in FIG. 1) in his / her address book, subscriber B confirms that the subject is subscriber A from base station 120 and receives subscriber A. FIG. When a key for registering in the address book is input, the base station 120 automatically transmits a corresponding notification signal to the terminal of the subscriber A. FIG.

Thereafter, the subscriber A confirms who is trying to register himself in the address book after confirming the informing signal, and authorizes / declines the registration.

If the subscriber A authorizes the address book registration, the base station 120 automatically notifies the terminal 120 of the subscriber B of the approval.

Accordingly, the subscriber B registers the subscriber A in the address book provided in his terminal 130 or the base station 120.

In addition, subscriber A registers the specific person C in the block list if the subscriber A does not want to receive a call or a message for the specific person C even among those who can receive or receive the message.

In the above-described period, the subscriber A can arbitrarily set the period of rejecting incoming or received message to a specific person.

In addition, even when the period for rejecting an incoming call or a message for a specific person currently registered in the block list has not expired, the subscriber A may delete the specific person from the block list so that the incoming or received message from the specific person may be possible. Can be.

In this case, when the block list is registered in the terminal 110, the subscriber A selects the block list menu from the menus displayed on the screen of the terminal 110, and the address book of the specific person to be deleted from the address book registered in the block list. When the block list is registered in the base station 120, the subscriber A downloads the block list to the terminal 110, selects the block list menu from the menu on the screen, and selects the block list menu from the block list. After removing the address book of the specific person to be deleted, the block list is registered in the base station 120 again.

On the other hand, when a process of registering or canceling a specific person in the block list as described above is performed, an operation of rejecting an incoming call and a message reception for the specific person registered in the block list is performed. This is described as follows.

First, in FIG. 1, when a call or message transmission from subscriber B to subscriber A occurs, base station 120 retrieves a list of registered blocks from subscriber A, and the telephone number or e-mail address registered in that block list. If it is confirmed that the terminal of the subscriber (A) is turned off to the terminal of the subscriber (B) to automatically block unnecessary incoming and messages from the terminal (110).

If a block list is registered on the terminal 110, when the base station 120 determines that the call or message transmission from the subscriber B is performed, the base station 120 communicates with the terminal 110 to communicate with the terminal 110. The terminal 110 of the subscriber A is sent to the terminal 130 of the subscriber B when the block list provided in the terminal B is searched and confirmed with a phone number or an e-mail address registered in the block list provided in the terminal 110. It is turned off to notify that the call and message reception is impossible to automatically block unnecessary incoming and message reception in the terminal (110).

That is, when a call or a message is received from the target person B included in the address book registered in the block list according to the present invention, when the user confirms any one of the terminal 110 or the base station 120 as the target included in the block list, It denies itself from receiving incoming calls or receiving messages.

After that, the blocked message / call number is automatically stored in the block history area of the base station or the terminal after a flag is added, and the user can receive or You can check the contents of the rejection of the message on the terminal or the web.

By the way, the short message service (SMS) and the e-mail may be slightly different transmission method, because the message length in the short message and the e-mail is different.

That is, the short SMS may use a random access channel called PRACH, and an e-mail having a longer form of packet data than the SMS may be transmitted using a common packet channel called PCPCH or just a DPCH.

When the message or email content sent from the other party is rejected by the network (base station) or the terminal, a flag is added to the header. in the area where history is stored).

Therefore, if the rejected contents are stored in the network (base station), in FIG. 1, the subscriber A downloads a message to the terminal 110 using a wireless network service and checks it in the terminal or performs a personal identification procedure on the Internet. You can check the message after going through it.

For example, if the block history area is provided in the terminal 110, the rejected content is stored in the terminal memory, so the subscriber A checks the contents in the block history menu on the menu.

In addition, while the above-described operation of refusing to receive a message from specific persons registered in the block list has been described, the present invention may be configured to only receive a message (message or multi-recipient message) from specific persons registered in the address book. .

For example, assuming the case of the subscriber (A), the subscriber (A) may be set to limit the reception of messages in the terminal 110 or the Internet interworking with the wireless network.

At this time, subscriber A simply sets the default state if he wants to receive all messages, and sets the mode if he wants to receive only messages from a specific person (subscriber B in FIG. 1) registered in his / her address book. do.

Accordingly, when subscriber B wants to send a message to subscriber A, if subscriber B is a person who is not registered in subscriber A's address book, the base station 120 or the terminal 110 is connected to subscriber B's message. The base station 120 or the terminal 110 checks whether the telephone number is in the address book of the subscriber A and the telephone number of the subscriber B is determined to be a phone number not registered in the address book of the subscriber A. It will refuse to receive.

Subsequently, when the reception of the message is denied, the base station 120 or the terminal 110 adds a flag to the header of the corresponding message and stores it in the block history area.

The message stored in the block history area may be checked at any time in the same manner as described above by the subscriber A on the terminal 110 or the web.

As described in detail above, the present invention can set the user to refuse to receive or receive a message from a specific person or to receive or receive a message from a specific person, thereby eliminating inconvenience caused by unnecessary calls or messages. have.
