Method for receiving and transferring a special telephone number of the mobile communication terminal

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting / receiving a specific telephone number of a mobile communication terminal. In particular, a plurality of telephone numbers desired to be transmitted are searched through the telephone number menu and transmitted at once, and the received telephone numbers are compared with an embedded number to update or The present invention relates to a method for transmitting and receiving a specific telephone number of a mobile communication terminal to be newly registered.

In general, wireless data communication refers to a communication function of wirelessly transmitting and receiving various data such as letters, numbers, and images through a base station system using a portable terminal capable of wireless transmission and reception. For example, it is a mobile communication system that exchanges or retrieves data in both directions while moving by using various terminals such as a cellular phone, a portable computer, a fax machine, and a credit card inquiry machine.

Especially in the early 1980s, mobile phones divided the service area into hexagonal cells of several km to several ten kilometers in diameter in North America, and then repeatedly used the same frequency channel in geographically separated cells. As a result, cellular phones that implement radio channel switching between cells have grown rapidly for the first time. In addition, such a mobile phone provides various service menus on the terminal for the convenience of the user. For example, a short message service (SMS), an e-mail transmission, and an Internet connection are provided. At this time, the SMS data signal is usually limited to within 80 bytes when transmitted to the terminal.

Then, referring to the conventional mobile phone system as described above with reference to FIG. 1, a function signal transmitted from a plurality of mobile phones 70, for example, a call signal or an SMS message may be wirelessly processed or an SMS broadcast message may be relayed to the mobile phone 70. The base station 71, an MSC 72 for controlling a transmission function of a call signal or an SMS broadcast message input through the base station 71, and an SMS message to the mobile phone 70 connected to the MSC 72; B SMS server 73 for providing an SMS broadcast message.

On the other hand, referring to the operation of the conventional mobile phone system as described above, first, when the user of the mobile phone 70 presses the telephone number signal for a call, the telephone number signal is wirelessly signaled by the mobile phone 70 to the base station 72 Is sent). The base station 71 transmits the call signal of the inputted mobile phone 70 to the MSC 72. Then, the MSC 72 analyzes the input call signal data to recognize the destination telephone number and transmits the call signal to the base station 74 of the corresponding destination. Therefore, the base station 74 relays the transmitted call signal and connects the call to the other party's mobile phone 75. At this time, when a call is formed by the above process, the mobile phone 70 executes a normal call with the counterpart mobile phone 75.

In this case, when the user of the mobile phone 70 wants to send an arbitrary phone number to another terminal by sending an SMS message, the user of the mobile phone 70 searches for a phone number through the keypad 76 of the mobile phone 70. Then write the searched phone number on a separate piece of paper. Then, the user of the mobile phone 70 selects the SMS transmission message menu of the mobile phone, and then inputs a separate paper-written phone number one by one through the keypad and transmits it.

Then, the SMS message signal including the phone number signal of the mobile phone 70 is input to the SMS server 73 via the base station 71 and the MSC 72 and stored. Therefore, the SMS server 73 checks the destination telephone number of the input SMS message and transmits it to the MSC 72. Then, the MSC 72 transmits the SMS message signal including the telephone number signal transmitted from the SMS server 73 to the counterpart mobile phone 75. The counterpart mobile phone 75 analyzes the received SMS message signal and displays the corresponding signal on the display. At this time, when the user of the counterpart mobile phone 75 needs to store the received phone number, it stores it in a memory.

However, in the conventional method of transmitting and receiving a phone number of the mobile communication terminal, the user searches for a desired phone number in the phone number list menu and sends it to the other party's mobile phone by putting the phone number in an SMS message, and then writes it down on paper. Since it is necessary to re-enter the SMS message again through the keypad, the user's convenience of using the mobile phone is considerably degraded accordingly. Also, when receiving a phone number, all the received phone numbers are stored regardless of whether the built-in phone number is duplicated. Since there is a waste of memory space, there was a problem that significantly reduces the functionality of the mobile phone accordingly.

Accordingly, the present invention has been invented to solve the conventional problems as described above, search for a plurality of telephone numbers to be transmitted through the telephone number menu and transmit them at once and compare the received telephone numbers with the embedded numbers to update them. B. By newly registering, it is not necessary to input text or numeric information in order to send and receive a phone number using SMS, thus providing a specific phone number transmission / reception method of a mobile communication terminal that can maximize the convenience of use of the mobile communication terminal. Has its purpose.

Another object of the present invention is to compare the received telephone numbers in the list of registered telephone numbers and do not duplicate the registered telephone number of the mobile communication terminal to improve the efficiency of the phone number management accordingly accordingly To provide.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a phone number message transmission menu setting confirmation step of confirming whether a phone number message transmission menu is set in a mobile phone, and setting of a phone number message transmission menu by the transmission menu setting confirmation step. If confirmed, search the phone number list menu on the mobile phone, select a required phone number, and then create a phone number list for sending, and if the transmission is set after the send phone number setting step, a plurality of currently selected phones The message transmission step of converting the number signals into SMS messages and transmitting them to the communication medium set by the user, and when the message including the phone number is received during the phone number message transmission menu setting confirmation step, the received phone number signal is received. A confirmation step of storing a received telephone number to confirm whether to save the number; When the storage of the received phone number is confirmed by the phone number storage confirmation step, a duplicate phone number processing step of searching whether the currently received phone number is already stored and confirming whether to overwrite it if there is a duplicate phone number And, if the overwrite function is set during the duplicate phone number processing step, an overwrite storage step of overwriting the currently received phone number in the existing phone number storage area and storing the duplicated number during the duplicate phone number processing step. If there is no phone number, it provides a method for transmitting and receiving a specific phone number of the mobile communication terminal consisting of a phone number information storing step of storing it in a new address.

As shown in FIG. 3, the present invention proceeds to the telephone number message transmission menu setting determination step S2 in the initial state S1 to determine whether the telephone number message transmission menu is currently set in the mobile phone. At this time, if the telephone number message transmission menu is set in the mobile phone as a result of the determination in the telephone number message transmission menu setting determination step (S2), the procedure proceeds to the transmission telephone number setting step (S3) to search the telephone number list menu on the mobile phone. Select a phone number and create a list of phone numbers to send. After the transmission telephone number setting step S3, the process proceeds to the selection telephone number message transmission determination step S4 to determine whether a signal for requesting transmission of the currently selected telephone number list to another communication medium is input. At this time, if the signal for requesting transmission of the currently selected telephone number list to another communication medium is not input within a predetermined time period, as determined in the selected telephone number message transmission determination step (S4), the function returns to the initial menu screen and the corresponding function is returned. Quit.

However, if the signal for requesting transmission of the currently selected telephone number list to another communication medium is input within a predetermined time as a result of the determination in the selected telephone number message transmission determination step (S4), the process proceeds to the message transmission step (S5). The selected number of phone number signals are converted into SMS messages and transmitted to the corresponding communication media set by the user.

On the other hand, when the telephone number message transmission menu setting determination step (S2) is determined as a result of the telephone number message transmission menu is not set in the mobile phone proceeds to the telephone number message reception determination step (S6) SMS message containing the current telephone number Determine whether is received. When the SMS message including the current telephone number is not received, the mobile terminal returns to the initial menu screen and ends the corresponding function. However, when the SMS message including the current telephone number is received as a result of the determination of the telephone number message receiving determination step (S6), it proceeds to the receiving telephone number storage determination step (S7) to save the currently received telephone number message. To judge. At this time, if the received telephone number storage determination step (S7) is determined as a result of not storing the currently received telephone number message, returns to the initial menu screen and ends the corresponding function.

However, in the case of storing the received telephone number message as a result of the determination in the received telephone number storage determining step (S7), the process proceeds to the telephone number searching step (S8) and searches whether the currently received telephone number is already stored. In addition, after the telephone number search step (S8), the process proceeds to the duplicate telephone number determination step (S9) to determine whether the telephone number that is duplicated with the currently received telephone number is stored. At this time, if the duplicated phone number determination step (S9) is determined as a result of the phone number is not stored in the duplicated phone number and the current received phone number stored in step (S10) to the new address to the new address Save it.

However, when the duplicated phone number determination step (S9) determines that the stored phone number overlaps with the currently received phone number, the procedure proceeds to overwriting the phone number determination step (S11) to overwrite the current duplicate phone number. Determine whether to save as. At this time, when the phone number overwriting determination step (S11) is determined as a result of not overwriting the currently duplicated phone number, the process proceeds to the new address storage step (S10) and repeats the loop. However, when the phone number overwrite determination step (S11) determines that the currently duplicated phone number is to be overwritten, the process proceeds to the overwrite storage step (S12) and the newly received phone number in the existing phone number storage area. Overwrite and save.

That is, when the user of the mobile phone 1 wants to send an arbitrary phone number to another terminal by sending an SMS message, the user of the mobile phone 1 transmits a phone number message message menu through the keypad 6 of the mobile phone 1. Set. Then, the MSM unit 4 of the mobile phone 1 recognizes this and displays the corresponding menu screen on the LCD 7. Then, the user of the mobile phone 1 clicks the detailed telephone number search screen on the menu screen displayed on the LCD 7 to search for the required telephone number. At this time, the MSM unit 4 of the mobile phone 1 reads the telephone number signal designated by the user on the menu screen from the memory unit 5 and creates a telephone number list.

Here, when the user finishes the selection of the required telephone number through the telephone number selection process and presses the transmit button together with the identification number of the communication medium to be transmitted, the MSM unit 4 of the mobile phone 1 receives the selected telephone number signal. And converts them into SMS messages and transmits them to the corresponding communication medium, for example, another mobile phone 12.

Then, the SMS message signal including the phone number signal of the mobile phone 1 is input to the SMS server 11 via the base station 8 and the MSC 10 and stored. Therefore, the SMS server 11 checks the destination telephone number of the input SMS message and transmits it to the MSC 10. Then, the MSC 10 transmits the SMS message signal including the telephone number signal transmitted from the SMS server 11 to the counterpart mobile phone 12 via the base station 9.

The counterpart mobile phone 12 analyzes the received SMS message signal and displays on the LCD 7 that an SMS message signal including a phone number has been received.

At this time, the user of the other party's mobile phone 12 is to check the reception area of the message displayed on the LCD (7), if the user refuses to receive the message MSM unit 4 of the mobile phone 12 Delete the SMS message. However, when the user of the other party's mobile phone 12 sets up the reception of the SMS message including the phone number, the MSM unit 4 searches the memory unit 5 to receive currently received phone number information, for example, a phone number and a name. Search for duplicate data and other information.

Here, if there is no data duplicated with the currently received telephone number information during the search process, the MSM unit 4 stores it in a new address of the memory unit 5 if desired by the user. However, if there is data overlapping with the currently received telephone number information during the searching process, the MSM unit 4 asks whether to overwrite the existing data on the LCD 7 with the currently received data. At this time, if the user of the mobile phone 12 does not input the setting button within a predetermined time, the MSM unit 4 returns to the initial menu screen.

However, the MSM unit 4 of the mobile phone 12 stores the currently received phone number information in the existing phone number area when the user of the mobile phone 12 inputs a setting button within a predetermined time.

As described above, the present invention searches a plurality of telephone numbers to be transmitted through the telephone number menu, transmits them at once, compares the received telephone numbers with built-in numbers, and updates or newly registers the telephone numbers. Since there is no need to input text or numeric information one by one to transmit and receive by using it has the advantage that can maximize the ease of use of the mobile communication terminal accordingly.

In addition, according to the present invention, since the received telephone number is not searched and compared repeatedly in the registered telephone number list, the efficiency of the telephone number management of the mobile communication terminal is also improved accordingly.
