Description

Method for group management of phone book by the frequency number of calls in mobile phone}

The present invention relates to a group management method according to the frequency of incoming / outgoing calls in a mobile phone, and in particular, when a user makes a phone call by managing a phone number having a high frequency of incoming / outgoing calls separately in a mobile phone, the time required for a user to search in the phone book is reduced. It is about how it can be.

In a conventional mobile phone, a user calls a specific person by various methods such as searching by name, searching by phone number, and searching by group. To search by name, enter only the name or part of the person you want to find in the phone book. When the search results are displayed on the screen of the phone, the user selects the desired name to make the call. To search by phone number, enter all or part of the phone number of the person to find in the phone book of the mobile phone. When the result of the phone number is displayed on the screen of the mobile phone, the user selects the desired name and goes to the phone number item to make a call. In order to find a group, if you move from the phone book to the desired group, only the group where the information is entered will appear. Press the button on your phone to find the name you want. The user goes to the phone number entry and places a call.

In addition, the speed dial editing method is a method of making a call by designating a frequently used phone number as a speed dial. In addition, the incoming / outgoing call history of the mobile phone shows a recently called phone number, and the user can make a call by pressing a call button without having to directly enter the call. As described above, there are various ways to make a call from a mobile phone, but it has the disadvantage of being inconvenient because the user directly enters a desired name or phone number to search. .

However, the function of separately managing phone numbers with a high frequency of incoming / outgoing calls in a mobile phone has not been proposed yet.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, a method of reducing the time for the user to search in the phone book when making a call by managing a separate phone number with a high frequency of incoming / outgoing calls in a mobile phone as a group The purpose is to provide.

Figures 1a to 1b shows a screen example of adding the most frequent call group in the phone book according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a user setting a maximum number of phone numbers in the least frequently called group according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a process of sorting the phone numbers of the least frequently called groups according to the highest frequency in the mobile phone according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The present invention provides the first step of creating the least called group and registering the highest frequency telephone number in order, and if the telephone number is registered or transmitted to the mobile phone, the telephone number is retrieved from the telephone book and the telephone number is registered in the telephone book. A second step of increasing the number of counts; and a third step of checking whether the telephone number is an incoming or outgoing telephone number, updating the incoming list if the incoming telephone number is used, and updating the outgoing list if the outgoing telephone number is used; Or a fourth step of sorting and registering telephone numbers in the least frequently called group in order according to the frequency of the telephone numbers stored in the calling list.

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

Figures 1a to 1b shows a screen example of adding the most frequent call group in the phone book according to an embodiment of the present invention.

If the user selects the least frequently called group function, the control unit creates the group and registers the highest frequency telephone numbers in that group in order. Here, the highest frequency telephone number may be an incoming telephone number, an outgoing telephone number, and an incoming / outgoing telephone number. That is, the highest frequency telephone numbers for incoming telephone numbers, the highest frequency telephone numbers for outgoing telephone numbers, and the highest frequency telephone numbers for incoming and outgoing telephone numbers may be stored in one group or in separate groups.

In addition, the user can set the maximum number of telephone numbers for the group. For example, if the user sets the maximum number of telephone numbers of the group to 10, the control unit registers 10 telephone numbers in order according to the highest frequency.

FIG. 1A shows an example of a screen in which a user selects a group edit menu in a phone book and adds the most called party group. Here, when the user sets the maximum number of incoming and outgoing call groups and then selects the least called group, the phone number of the highest frequency is displayed as much as the maximum number of telephone numbers set by the user as shown in FIG. The least-received caller group uses the incoming or outgoing list of telephones to sort the highest frequency telephone numbers. Here, it is preferable to use a heap sorting method for sorting the highest frequency telephone numbers.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a user setting a maximum number of phone numbers in the least frequently called group according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the user sets the maximum number of telephone numbers that the user wants to store in the least frequently called group (S200). If the user has set the maximum number of phone numbers of the most called party group, the control unit stores the maximum number of phone numbers in the memory of the mobile phone (S202). When the user selects the least-received call group (S204), as shown in FIG.

Alternatively, it is also possible to store as many telephone numbers as specified in the least frequently called group in step S202.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a process of sorting the phone numbers of the least frequently called groups according to the highest frequency in the mobile phone according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, when a call is received or sent to the mobile phone (S300), the controller updates the incoming list and the outgoing list (S302). Then, the control unit increases the count number of the telephone number (S304). The control unit sorts the highest frequency list group by using update information of the incoming list and the outgoing list (S306). In other words, the number of the number of incoming and outgoing calls in the incoming and outgoing list is registered in the least frequently called group in order. As described above, step S306 may be performed when the user selects the least frequently called group (steps S204 and S206), or may be performed whenever an incoming / outgoing call is made.

In the above, the present invention has been described with reference to some examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and a person of ordinary skill in the art may make many modifications and variations without departing from the spirit of the present invention. I will understand.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the time that the user searches in the phone book to make a call by separately managing a group of phone numbers with a high frequency of incoming / outgoing calls.
