Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for displaying an important message in a mobile phone is provided to preferentially display an appointed important message on the LCD and to prevent the loss of calls. CONSTITUTION: If a user classifies messages into groups according to importance and inputs associated key signals, a CPU stores them in a memory according to the inputted signals(S21). If a message is received in an idle state, the CPU controls the memory and classifies the received message(S22-S24). Then the CPU judges whether the received and classified message belongs to an important message group(S25). In case that it is judged that the received and classified message belongs to the important message group, the CPU displays it on the initial screen. Otherwise, the CPU stores it in the memory.

Description

Mobile phone and Important message indication method of mobile phone}

The present invention relates to a message display method of a mobile phone, and more particularly, to a mobile phone important message display method for displaying a priority message on a display window according to a message importance specified by a user.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 2 is a block diagram showing a control system of a mobile phone according to the present invention.

Referring to the drawings, the present invention is a radio signal transceiver 11 for transmitting and receiving a radio signal capable of transmitting and receiving with a base station, a repair signal processor 12 for processing a radio signal input and output to the transceiver 11, the entire system A central processing unit 13 for controlling, an input / output unit 14 including a key button for inputting a key signal and a display window for outputting signals processed by the central processing unit 13, and a program and an important message necessary for operating the system It includes a memory unit 15 for storing a program for displaying.

The memory unit 15 includes a message group setting function for classifying each message into groups according to importance, inputting corresponding key signals according to the classified messages, and storing the message in a memory; A message classification function for classifying a message according to a preset message importance when a message is input in a terminal idle state; And a screen processing function that is displayed on an initial screen when the received message belongs to a preset important message group, and stored in a memory otherwise, so that the important message disclosed in the present invention can be stored.

According to this configuration, the recipient number is displayed on the initial screen upon receiving the message according to the importance of the message designated by the user.

3 is a flow chart illustrating a method for displaying an important message in accordance with the present invention.

Referring to the drawings, according to the present invention, in the mobile phone message display method, when a user classifies each message into a group according to importance and inputs a corresponding key signal according to the classified message, the central processing unit 13 inputs the corresponding key signal. Store in memory according to the signal (S21).

In the embodiment of the present invention, the received message is classified into an important message, a general message, and other messages to be stored.

Important messages group messages related to calls such as call messages, missed calls, and disconnected calls, and general messages are text-related messages such as information messages, voicemail notices, P2P messages, and not so important advertisement messages and broadcast messages. Although these messages are set to be separated into other messages, the above messages may have different message types according to the user's selection.

After classifying the message into groups and setting the importance, when the message is received in the terminal idle state, the central processing unit 13 controls the memory unit 14 to classify the message according to the message importance (S22-S24).

The central processing unit 13 determines whether the received and separated message belongs to a predetermined important message group (S25), and then displays it on the initial screen when it is determined to be an important message group, and if not, stores it in the memory unit 15. (S26-S28)

In this case, if a general message not included in the important message group is received, it is not displayed on the initial screen, but it is obvious that the message is received through the message receiving icon.

The embodiment of the present invention further includes a message display time setting step of setting the display time displayed on the initial screen for the important message group to be displayed for a set time. As such, when an important message is received while the message display time is set, the received message is displayed on the initial screen when the important message is received under the control of the central processing unit 13, and the displayed message elapses according to the user's setting time. If it is deleted from the initial screen or is displayed on the initial screen as it is (S29).

According to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the important message group may be displayed by differently distinguishing colors from other messages or may be displayed differently by distinguishing colors from adjacent messages for each important message.

Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4A, the important message group forms a certain sector for the entire background screen set by the user as shown in FIG. Using the function keys (direction key, delete key, call key) as shown in FIG. 5, the corresponding message can be checked or deleted or the call can be made immediately, as well as the selected message by scrolling from left to right as shown in FIG. And all the contents can be confirmed.

According to the present invention, when the user presses a key button for a call, the message distributed on the entire screen disappears as shown in FIG. 4C, and the message is displayed on the initial screen again after the call is completed, thereby preventing inconvenience.

In addition, in the method of displaying an important message, the present invention may display only one most important message received in a horizontal direction at the top or bottom of the screen, as shown in FIG. You can check them sequentially.
