Therefore, the received signal and information is of course useful, but also useful information on the contrary, where the useless information (commercial advertising messages, adult advertising messages) is meant to mean spam (spam) messages.

In general, an electronic message sent by a sender to a recipient who has nothing to do with it is called spam, and junk mail is called as junk.

As such, spam messages are sent randomly without the consent of the mobile phone user, so they are unconditionally received regardless of the recipient's will, and the frequency of receiving spam messages is gradually increasing. Deleting a spam message is a waste of time, and personally unpleasant for privacy violations.

In addition, the spam message is sent to the phone number regardless of age in the situation that the mobile phone has adolescents, because it will be received even in the mobile phone of the teenagers will be exposed to harmful information to the teenagers will be very serious.

Of course, the function of blocking spam mail is already in place on the wired Internet, and as a result, the spam mail is gradually decreasing, but unlike the wired Internet, it is almost impossible to block especially on the mobile phone. There was a problem that could not effectively deal with seriousness.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to store the phone number of the spam message sender received in the mobile phone, and then to automatically delete the received spam message upon receiving the spam message sender's phone number, thereby effectively preventing spam messages that are frequently received. It is to cope with the unpleasantness to waste time and invasion of privacy caused by spam messages.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes the steps of receiving a message in the mobile phone; Determining whether spam message blocking is set for the message received in the step; Displaying the received message if the spam message blocking is not set in the step; Determining whether or not the same sender's phone number is in the set spam message sender's phone book if the spam message blocking is set in the step; Automatically blocking a spam message if the received message is in the set spam message sender's phone book; Determining whether the message received in the step is in a phone number registered in the phone book if it is not in the set spam message sender phone book; Displaying the received message on the liquid crystal display if the telephone directory is registered in the step; If the message received in the step is not in the registered phone book, displaying the message as it is; The method may include deleting a spam message after newly registering the message displayed in the above step or setting it in the spam message sender's phone book.

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

1 is a schematic block diagram of a spam message blocking device of a mobile phone of the present invention, Figure 2 is a flow chart for a spam message blocking method of the mobile phone of the present invention, a high frequency intermediate frequency sub receiving a message input through the antenna from the sender System 10; A mobile station modem (11) for determining, controlling, and transmitting a spam message for a message received by the high frequency intermediate frequency subsystem (10); A liquid crystal display (12) for displaying a signal which is controlled and transmitted from the mobile station modem (11); A memory unit (13) for storing a predetermined program for performing signal storage and blocking of spam messages controlled by the mobile station modem (11); The memory unit 13 is composed of a key input unit 14 for inputting a specific or new telephone number through the mobile station modem 11.

According to the present invention configured as described above based on the flow chart according to the spam message blocking method of Figure 2, the memory unit 13 receives a message received by the high-frequency intermediate frequency subsystem 10 via an antenna to the mobile station modem ( 11) is controlled and displayed on the liquid crystal display 12, wherein the mobile phone user sees the received message and if it is a spam message, the mobile phone user operates the key input unit 14 and stores it in the caller's telephone directory of the spam message. In addition, the memory unit 13 stores a telephone number that can be received by the user through the key input unit 14 through the mobile station modem 11 in the registered telephone directory, and the stored telephone number is stored in the liquid crystal display 12. (Step 20).

In this way, in the memory unit 13, a program for blocking spam messages, a spam message sender's phone book, and a receivable phone book are set, and the message is received by the high frequency intermediate frequency subsystem 10 through the antenna of the mobile phone. When inputted to the mobile station modem 11 (step 21), the mobile station modem 11 determines whether or not a spam message blocking program has been set (step 22).

At this time, if the spam message blocking program is not set in the mobile phone, the mobile station modem 11 displays the received message on the liquid crystal display 12 as it is.

However, if the spam message blocking program is set in the mobile phone, the mobile station modem 11 determines whether the spam message sender's phone book set in the memory unit 13 has the same phone number as the caller's phone number of the received message. Step 23).

If the sender's phone number of the received message is in the spam message sender's phone book set in the memory unit 13, the mobile station modem 11 determines that it is a spam message and operates a preset spam message blocking program to automatically receive the received message. Blocking is prevented from being displayed on the liquid crystal display 12 (step 24).

However, if the caller's telephone number of the received message is not in the spam message sender's telephone book set in the memory unit 13, the mobile station modem 11 controls the memory unit 13 to determine whether the telephone number is registered in the telephone book. (Step 25).

Therefore, if the received message telephone number is in the registered telephone number of the telephone directory, the mobile station modem 11 determines that it is not a spam message and transmits and displays the received message to the liquid crystal display 12 (step 26). .

However, if the received message does not have a phone number registered in the phone book of the memory unit 13, it is determined as a new message and the liquid crystal display 12 is controlled to display and receive the received message as it is (step 27).

After that, the mobile phone user checks the message displayed on the liquid crystal display 12, and if it is determined that it needs to be registered, the mobile phone user controls the key input unit 14 to transmit the received message to the telephone directory of the memory unit 13. It is registered at (step 28).

However, if it is determined that the spam message is not determined to be received next, the key input unit 14 is controlled to add to the spam message sender's phonebook of the memory unit 13, and then the spam message is deleted (step 29). .

As described above, the present invention sets a spam message blocking program on a mobile phone, and then determines whether a spam message is set for a received message, and then blocks the spam message so that it is not displayed as it is. If it is not in the registered phone book while determining whether it is in the registered phone book, you can check the received message and add it to the phone book or register it in the phone book to display or block it at the next reception, so that you can effectively cope with the spam message received from time to time. Therefore, it will provide an effect that can use the mobile phone while eliminating the discomfort for the waste of time and invasion of privacy caused by spam messages.
