Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for searching a phone book of a mobile phone is provided to allow a user to easily and quickly search a desired phone number by sorting names of the other parties for previously stored phone numbers in a regular order and displaying them. CONSTITUTION: When a key signal is inputted, it is checked whether the key signal is for an abbreviated dialing or for a phone book searching(S1-S3). If the currently inputted key signal is for the abbreviated dialing or the phone book searching, names of the other party for each phone number are read from a memory and aligned in a regular order and then displayed on an LCD screen(S4,S5). A user moves a curser to a column of the name of a desired person for call communications by using a direction key, a character key or a tap key(S6,S7). It is checked whether a call key signal is inputted by the user, and if the call key signal is inputted, an abbreviated dialing is performed to a corresponding phone number(S8,S9).

휴대폰의 전화번호부 검색방법{TELEPHONE DIRECTORY SEARCH METHOD FOR MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATION TERMINAL EQUIPMENT}How to search your phonebook {TELEPHONE DIRECTORY SEARCH METHOD FOR MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATION TERMINAL EQUIPMENT}

본 발명은 휴대폰 등의 이동통신 단말기에서 단축 다이얼링을 위한 전화번호부 검색기술에 관한 것으로, 특히 휴대폰에서 단축 다이얼링을 위해 전화번호부를 검색할 때 이름 순서대로 소팅하여 디스플레이할 수 있도록 한 휴대폰의 전화번호부 검색방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a phone book search technology for speed dialing in a mobile communication terminal such as a mobile phone. In particular, when searching a phone book for speed dialing in a mobile phone, the phone book search of a mobile phone is arranged to be sorted and displayed in order of name. It is about a method.

일반적으로, 휴대폰에서 사용자가 단축다이얼키를 누르면 기 저장되어 있는 전화번호부가 엘씨디 화면에 디스플레이되는데, 도 1은 100개의 단축다이얼번호가저장된 경우의 전화번호부의 디스플레이 예를 나타낸 것이다.In general, when a user presses a speed dial key in a mobile phone, a previously stored phone book is displayed on an LCD screen. FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a display of a phone book when 100 speed dial numbers are stored.

즉, 사용자는 평상시 전화번호부 검색 또는 단축 다이얼링을 위해 여러 전화번호를 무작위로 저장한다. 사용자가 임의의 시점에서 단축다이얼키를 누르면 휴대폰의 제어부에서는 기 저장된 전화번호를 번호 순으로 정렬(sorting)하여 엘씨디 화면에 디스플레이하고, 그 중에서 사용자가 지정하는 전화번호를 다이얼링하는 방식으로 단축 다이얼링이 이루어진다.That is, the user randomly stores several phone numbers for usual phonebook searches or speed dialing. When the user presses the speed dial key at any time, the control unit of the mobile phone sorts the stored phone numbers by number and displays them on the LCD screen, and among them, speed dialing is performed by dialing a phone number specified by the user. Is done.

이와 같이 종래 휴대폰의 전화번호부 검색기술에 있어서는 단축다이얼키가 입력될 때, 기 저장된 전화번호를 번호 순서대로 정렬하여 화면에 디스플레이하므로, 사용자 입장에서 볼 때 자신이 원하는 전화번호를 찾는데 많은 시간이 소요되고 노력을 기울여야 하는 등의 불편함이 있었다.As described above, in the phone book search technology of a conventional mobile phone, when a speed dial key is input, the stored phone numbers are sorted in order of numbers and displayed on the screen. There was an inconvenience, such as having to work hard.

따라서, 본 발명의 목적은 휴대폰에서 단축 다이얼링 등을 위해 전화번호부 검색이 요구될 때, 기 저장된 전화번호에 대한 상대방의 이름을 가나다 순서대로 소팅하여 디스플레이하는 휴대폰의 전화번호부 검색방법을 제공함에 있다.Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a phone book search method of a mobile phone that sorts and displays the name of the other party in order of the stored phone number when the phone book search is required for speed dialing.

도 1은 종래 기술에 의한 전화번호부의 표시 예시도.1 is a diagram illustrating display of a phone book according to the prior art.

도 2는 본 발명에 의한 전화번호의 표시 예시도.2 is an exemplary view showing a telephone number according to the present invention.

도 3은 본 발명에 의한 휴대폰의 전화번호부 검색방법의 처리과정을 나타낸 신호 흐름도.Figure 3 is a signal flow diagram showing the processing of the phone book search method of a mobile phone according to the present invention.

S1-S9 : 제1-9단계S1-S9: Steps 1-9

본 발명에 의한 휴대폰의 전화번호부 검색방법은, 전화번호부 검색이 요구될 때 메모리에 기 저장되어 있는 각 전화번호에 대한 상대방의 이름을 읽어와 가나다 순서로 정렬한 후 이를 엘씨디 화면에 디스플레이하는 제1과정과; 방향키 또는 문자키 또는 탭키의 조작에 따라 사용자가 목적한 상대방의 이름란으로 커서를 이동시키는 제2과정과; 통화키신호가 입력되는지 확인하여 해당 전화번호를 단축다이얼링하는 제3과정으로 이루어지는 것으로, 이와 같은 본 발명의 전화번호부 검색방법을 첨부한 도 2 및 도 3을 참조하여 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.The phone book search method of a mobile phone according to the present invention includes a first method of reading a name of a counterpart for each phone number pre-stored in a memory when the phone book search is requested, sorting them in alphabetical order, and then displaying them on the LCD screen. Process; A second step of moving the cursor to a name field of a target counterpart by a user according to an operation of a direction key, a character key, or a tab key; A third process of shortening the corresponding telephone number by checking whether a call key signal is input is described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 attached to the phone book search method of the present invention.

사용자는 평상시 전화번호부 검색 또는 단축 다이얼링을 위해 여러 전화번호를 무작위로 입력하여 메모리에 저장해 둔다.The user randomly enters several phone numbers and stores them in memory for normal phonebook searches or speed dialing.

이후, 키신호가 입력되면 단축다이얼링 또는 전화번호부 검색을 위한 키신호인지 확인하여 그 키신호가 아니면 해당 기능을 수행한다.(S1-S3)Thereafter, if a key signal is input, it checks whether it is a key signal for speed dialing or searching the phone book, and performs a corresponding function if it is not the key signal. (S1-S3)

하지만, 상기 확인 결과 현재 입력된 키신호가 단축다이얼링 또는 전화번호부 검색을 위한 키신호로 판명되면 상기 메모리로부터 각 전화번호에 대한 상대방의 이름을 읽어와 가나다 순서로 정렬한 후 이를 엘씨디 화면에 디스플레이한다.(S4,S5)However, if the currently input key signal turns out to be a key signal for speed dialing or a phone book search, the other party's name for each phone number is read from the memory, sorted in alphabetical order, and displayed on the LCD screen. (S4, S5)

도 2는 메모리로부터 100개의 전화번호에 대한 상대방의 이름을 읽어와 이름 순서대로 정렬한 후 엘씨디 화면에 디스플레이한 예를 나타낸 것이다.Figure 2 shows an example of reading the name of the other party for the 100 phone numbers from the memory, sorted in order by name and then displayed on the LCD screen.

물론, 상기 엘씨디 화면에 디스플레이되는 이름 테이블의 정보량은 통상적으로 한 화면에 디스플레이할 수 없을 정도로 많으므로, 화면의 크기가 허용하는 범위 내에서 스크롤 표시하거나 상하좌우로 시프트시켜 표시한다.Of course, since the amount of information of the name table displayed on the LCD screen is usually so large that it cannot be displayed on one screen, the scrolling display or shifting up, down, left, and right is displayed within a range allowed by the size of the screen.

이와 같은 상태에서 사용자는 방향키 또는 문자키 또는 탭키를 이용하여 통화를 원하는 상대방의 이름란으로 커서를 이동시키게 된다.(S6,S7)In this state, the user moves the cursor to the name field of the counterpart using a direction key, a letter key, or a tab key (S6, S7).

예를 들어, 도 2와 같은 전화번호 검색 테이블에서, "박찬호"를 선택하고자 하는 경우, "??"자 키 또는 여러칸(예: 5칸)을 이동할 수 있도록 설정된 탭키를 눌러 커서를 아래로 다섯칸 이동시킨 후 다시 오른쪽으로 4칸 이동시켜 "박찬호" 이름란으로 이동시킨다.For example, in the phone number search table as shown in FIG. 2, when the user wants to select “Park Chan Ho”, the cursor moves down by pressing the “??” key or a tab key set to move several spaces (for example, five spaces). After moving 5 spaces, move 4 spaces to the right and move to the "Park Chan Ho" name field.

이후, 사용자에 의해 통화키신호가 입력되는지 확인하여 그 통화키신호가 입력되면 해당 전화번호를 단축다이얼링한다.(S8,S9)Thereafter, if the call key signal is input by the user and the call key signal is input, the corresponding telephone number is dialed. (S8, S9)

이상에서 상세히 설명한 바와 같이 본 발명은 휴대폰에서 단축 다이얼링 등을 위해 전화번호부 검색이 요구될 때, 기 저장된 전화번호에 대한 상대방의 이름을 가나다 순서대로 소팅하여 디스플레이 함으로써, 사용자 입장에서 볼 때 원하는 전화번호를 보다 쉽고 빠르게 검색할 수 있는 효과가 있다.As described in detail above, when the phone book search is required for speed dialing in a mobile phone, the present invention sorts and displays the other party's name for a pre-stored phone number in order, and displays a desired phone number when viewed from the user's point of view. This makes it easier and faster to search.
