Method for transmitting and editoring a short message of telephone}

The present invention relates to a method for editing and transmitting a short message of a telephone. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for editing and transmitting a short message of a telephone, wherein the short message received from the outside is stored in a memory and then edited and retransmitted through an editing process.

In general, as the industrial society develops, information communication systems are widely used to transfer data from one point to another desired more appropriately and quickly. Such communication systems are usually homogeneous or heterogeneous communication devices which are geographically dispersed. In most cases, information devices are connected to a network to enable sharing and communication of resources. In addition, in such a network, a telephone system is usually used through an exchange to exchange information converted into an electric signal with a counterpart.

However, such a conventional telephone system is provided with a function of storing a short message service (SMS) recently transmitted from a caller when a user is absent.

Then, referring to FIG. 1, a telephone system equipped with a conventional SMS function as described above, an interface unit 72 for interfacing a call signal of an external caller transmitted from an exchange system 71 via a PSTN network 70 is described. And a microcomputer 74 which controls the overall function of the telephone system 73, including the function of the interface unit 72, and the short messages SMS inputted in the absence of the user through the interface unit 72. And a memory unit 75 for storing according to the function control signal of the microcomputer 74, and an LCD 76 for reproducing the short message signal of the memory unit 75 as a display signal.

In addition, a keypad 77 for inputting a user's control command signal or a dialing signal is connected to one end of the microcomputer 74.

On the other hand, referring to the operation of the telephone system equipped with the conventional SMS function as described above, first, when the telephone system 73 is set up, the microcomputer 74 in the standby state or the function setting signal of the key panel unit 77 It is determined whether or not a ring signal is input. At this time, if the hook-off signal is not input even after a predetermined time has elapsed after the ring signal is input, the microcomputer 74 proceeds to the user missed mode and the user misses the guide message stored in the memory unit 75 in advance. Is transmitted to the other party's telephone 78. At this time, if there is a short message from the counterpart phone 78, the exchange 71 processes the predetermined signal and transmits it to the phone 73. Then, the microcomputer 74 of the telephone 73 receives this short message through the interface unit 72 and stores it in the memory unit 75. Then, when the user wants to see the short message stored in the memory unit 75 through the keypad unit 77, the microcomputer 74 displays the short message desired by the user on the LCD 76.

However, the above-described conventional SMS-equipped phone has a difficulty in using a short message because it does not have a function of only storing and displaying a received short message and transmitting it to a plurality of other recipients again. In addition, since the function of editing the short message is not provided, there is a problem in that the contents of the received short message cannot be edited, thereby degrading the functionality of the telephone.

Accordingly, the present invention has been invented to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, by storing the short message received from the outside in the memory and then editing and transmitting again through the editing process, by editing the short message received on the wired telephone device It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for transmitting and editing a short message of a telephone, which can be retransmitted, thereby improving the functionality of the telephone.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for editing and transmitting a short message of a phone capable of transmitting the received short message back to a plurality of recipients, thereby maximizing the usability of the phone.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a short message processing step of transmitting a missed guide message to a counterpart phone when the user is absent from the phone system and storing the short message from the counterpart phone in a memory; After the short message processing step, the short message editing mode checking step of confirming whether the short message editing mode is set, and if the short message editing mode is confirmed by the short message editing mode checking step, the short message is read from the memory. Short message editing execution step of reading and editing, and short message transmission step of transmitting a short message edited by specifying a short message recipient after the short message editing execution step provides a short message editing transmission method of the telephone.

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

The telephone to which the present invention is applied includes an interface unit 3 for interfacing a call signal of an external caller transmitted from an exchange 2 via a PSTN network 1, as shown in FIG. Ring signal processing unit 4 for detecting a ring signal from the call signal input through the ring signal (not shown) and the call signal input and output through the interface unit 3, for example, modulation / demodulation and A CPU 6 which amplifies the call signal processing unit 5, the function of the call signal processing unit 5, and the overall control of the editing function of the short message and the plurality of recipient transmission functions; A flash memory 7 for reproducing or storing the short messages (SMS) input and stored in the absence of a user according to the function control signal, and a received short message signal stored in the flash memory 7 according to the edit control signal of the CPU 6; Required for editing A font ROM 8 for providing font information is included.

In this case, the font stored in the font ROM 8 stores all of the usual fonts such as Korean, English, and special characters.

One end of the CPU 6 is connected with a key panel unit 9 for inputting a user's editing function setting command signal or dialing signal, and the other end of the CPU 6 has the flash memory 7. The graphic LCD 10 for displaying a short message signal of the edit mode is connected, and the handset 11 is connected to one end of the call signal processor 5.

Next, the method of the present invention applied to such a telephone will be described.

As shown in FIG. 3, the present invention proceeds from the initial state S1 to the call mode determination step S2 to determine whether a hook-off signal is input. At this time, if it is determined during the call mode determination step S2 that the hookoff signal is set in the phone, the process proceeds to the general call function execution step S3 to execute the general call function.

That is, when a ring signal is input to the phone 12 through the PSTN network 1, the CPU 6 executes a call mode. At this time, the interface unit 3 exchanges the exchange ( The call signal transmitted from 2) is interfaced to the call signal processor 5. Then, the call signal processor 5 processes the input call signal through a predetermined signal and emits it through the handset 11. When the user makes a call with the handset 11, the call signal is processed through the call signal processing unit 5 and then the external telephone 13 via the interface unit 3 and the PSTN network 1. ) To execute normal call function.

On the other hand, if it is determined during the call mode determination step S2 that the general call mode is not set in the telephone, the process proceeds to the missed message processing determination step S4 to determine whether the missed message processing function is executed in the telephone. At this time, if the missed message processing function is not executed in the telephone set as a result of the missed message processing determining step S4, the procedure ends. However, if the missed message processing function is set in the telephone set as a result of the missed message processing determining step S4, the process proceeds to the short message processing step S5 to transmit the missed guide message to the counterpart phone and the short message from the counterpart phone. If is input, it is stored in memory.

In addition, after the short message processing step (S5), and proceeds to the short message editing mode determination step (S6) to determine whether the current short message editing mode is set. In this case, when the short message editing mode is not set as a result of the determination in the short message editing mode determination step S6, the process ends. However, if the short message editing mode is currently set as a result of the short message editing mode determination step (S6), the short message editing execution step (S7) proceeds to read and edit the short message from the memory.

On the other hand, after the short message editing execution step (S7) proceeds to the recipient transmission mode determination step (S8) to determine whether there are a large number of recipients of the short message. In this case, when the receiver determines the recipient transmission mode in step S8, if there are a plurality of recipients of the short message to be transmitted at present, the process proceeds to a plurality of recipient transmission execution steps (S9) and sets the recipients of the short message to be transmitted to the corresponding recipients. Send the edited short message.

However, if it is determined during the receiver transmission mode determination step (S8) that the number of recipients of the short message to be transmitted currently is not many, the process proceeds to the individual receiver determination step (S10) to determine whether there is only one recipient of the current short message to be transmitted. And, if there is no recipient of the short message to be sent as a result of the determination in the individual recipient determination step (S10), it ends. However, as a result of the determination in the individual recipient determination step (S10), if there is only one recipient of the short message to be transmitted, the process proceeds to the individual recipient transmission step (S11) to set the recipient of the short message to be sent to one and edit the short message to the corresponding individual recipient. Send a message.

That is, if the hook-off signal is not input even though the ring signal detected through the ring signal processing unit 4 has elapsed a predetermined number of times, the CPU 6 of the telephone 12 proceeds to the user absent mode and the user The missed guidance message stored in the flash memory 7 is transmitted to the counterpart phone 13 through the switch 2. At this time, if there is a short message from the counterpart telephone 13, the exchange 2 processes the predetermined signal and transmits it to the telephone 12. Then, the CPU 6 of the telephone 12 receives this short message via the interface unit 3 and stores it in the flash memory 7.

Here, if the user wants to see the short message stored in the memory unit 7 through the key panel unit 9, the CPU 6 displays the desired short message on the graphic LCD 10.

In the above process, the CPU 6 recognizes when the user sets the editing function of the short message through the key panel unit 9, and proceeds to the short message editing mode. That is, the CPU 6 reads the received short message stored in the flash memory 7 using the font information for the editing function contained in the font ROM 8 and displays it on the graphic LCD 10. The CPU 6 saves the received short message displayed on the graphic LCD 10 through the key panel unit 9 and then stores it in the flash memory 7 again.

On the other hand, during the short message editing process, the CPU 6 requests the user to set up the receiver on the graphic LCD 10 when the user wants to transmit the currently edited short message. At this time, the user can set the desired recipient through the key panel unit 9, for example, can specify several recipients at once or only one. When the user designates the receiver, the CPU 6 transmits the edited short message to the designated receiver or the receivers through the switch 2, respectively.

As described above, the present invention stores the short message received from the outside in the memory, and then edits and retransmits it through the editing process, so that the short message received on the landline telephone can be edited and retransmitted. It has the advantage of being considerably improved.

In addition, according to the present invention, the received short message can be transmitted back to a plurality of recipients, thereby maximizing the usability of the phone.
