Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for using head words and tail words in a mobile terminal is provided to previously store frequently used head words and tail words and add them as necessary for convenience of users. CONSTITUTION: A user selects the short message transmission function through a key input unit(S301). A message window asking whether to insert head words/tail words is displayed on a display unit and the user selects insertion of head words/tail words(S302). An MSM calculates a size of fields occupied by the head words/tail words data and temporarily stores it(S303). The user creates a short message corresponding to a size of the remaining fields and inserts the head words/tail words data before/after the short message(S304). The user transmits the short message to a base station(S306).

Description

TECHNICAL FOR USING HEADER AND FOOTER IN HANDSET}

The present invention relates to a method for using a header and a footer in a portable terminal, and more particularly, to a portable terminal having a short message service, wherein the portable terminal can be edited for use in transmitting a short message. A method of using headers and footers.

In general, the short message service is a bidirectional data radio calling service in accordance with the standard of the mobile communication globalization system (GSM), and is a service for transmitting data at a maximum speed of 150 bytes between the terminal and the terminal. You can send and receive messages consisting of letters and numbers between the terminal or the network. Service types include short message transmission, emergency message display, date / time recording, and message recognition.

On the other hand, while the short message service is gradually increasing in use, there is no function of attaching various menus, that is, frequently used headers and footers, compared to emails using the Internet, so the same content is continuously input every time the short message is used. There is a problem that must be done.

The present invention devised to solve the above problems, in the portable terminal, by using a pre-stored header and footer when using a short message, to provide a method for using the header and footer in a portable terminal that provides convenience to the user. There is this.

In order to achieve the above object, a method of using a header and a footer in a portable terminal of the present invention includes a method of using a header and a footer in a portable terminal, the method of storing a header and a footer includes selecting a header / footer editing function; A header / footer is created; And storing the created header / footer in a memory, wherein the method of using a header and a footer in a portable terminal comprises: selecting a short message transmission function; Selecting whether to insert a header / footer; When the header / footer insertion function is selected, a size of a field occupied by the header / footer data is calculated and the header / footer data is temporarily stored; Inputting a character code to create a short message corresponding to a size other than the size of a field occupied by the header / footer data, and inserting the header / footer data before and after the short message; And transmitting the short message to a base station.

Hereinafter, the most preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the technical idea of the present invention. .

First, FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a terminal system to which a header and footer using method is applied in a portable terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. The terminal system includes a key input unit 110 and a mobile station modem (MSM). 120, a memory 130, a display 140, and an RF transceiver 150.

The key input unit 110 generates a selection signal according to a user's key input, and outputs the selection signal to a mobile station modem (MSM) 120 to be described later.

In addition, the MSM 120 generates a character code according to the selection signal input from the key input unit 110, constructs a short message through the character code, and applies the selection signal input from the key input unit 110. Accordingly, the header and footer data are loaded from the memory unit 130 to be described later, and the header and footer data are added to the short message and output.

The memory unit 130 stores the header and footer data and outputs the header and footer data to the MSM 120 under the control of the MSM 120.

In addition, the display unit 140 receives a video signal from the MSM 120 and displays a video that a user can recognize.

On the other hand, the RF transmitting and receiving unit 150, RF converts the short message data output from the MSM 120, and serves to transmit the converted data to the base station.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a header and footer storage method in a method for using a header and a footer in a portable terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the header and footer storage method of the present invention, FIG. Same as

First, the user selects a menu key through the key input unit 110, whereby the menu selection screen is displayed on the display unit 140 of the terminal. In the displayed menu selection screen, the user selects a header / footer editing function through the key input unit 110 (S201).

Next, the user creates a header / footer by inputting a character through the key input unit 110 or inserting a symbol or an image (S202).

Subsequently, when the header / footer creation is completed, the user instructs to store the information through the key input unit 110, and the MSM 120 stores the created header / footer in the memory unit 130 (S203).

3 is a flowchart illustrating an input method of a header and a footer in a header and footer using method in a portable terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the header and footer input method of the present invention. Same as

First, a user selects a menu key through the key input unit 110, whereby the menu selection screen is displayed on the display unit 140 of the terminal. In the displayed menu selection screen, the user selects the short message transmission function through the key input unit 110 (S301).

Next, a message window appears on the display unit 140 asking whether to insert the header / footer, and the user selects whether to insert the header / footer (S302).

If the user selects the header / footer insertion function, the MSM 120 reads the header / footer data stored in the memory unit 130, calculates the size of the field occupied by the header / footer data, and temporarily stores them. S303).

Thereafter, the user inputs a character code through the key input unit 110 to create a short message corresponding to the remaining size except for the size of the field occupied by the header / footer data, and converts the header / footer data into the short message. Insert before and after (S304). Here, the parameter of the data that we actually send is called the user data field in the specification. The reason for deciding whether to input the header / footer before writing the short message is that the user data field occupied by the header / footer data. field is calculated in advance. In other words, if a header / footer is input before the short message is transmitted after the short message is created, it is inconvenient to reduce the content of the message or reduce the header and the footer when the data amount of the original short message is large. In addition, the header / footer is preferably transmitted in a user data field unless otherwise specified. Through this, there is no need to update the operator and the protocol, and it is possible to prevent the problem of collision in the transmission between other providers.

If the user does not select the header / footer insertion function, the user inputs a character code through the key input unit 110, thereby creating a short message (S305).

Finally, the short message is transmitted to the base station through the RF transceiver 150 (S306).

As described above, the present invention can be substituted, modified, and changed in various ways within the scope of the technical spirit of the present invention by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. It is not limited to the drawings shown.

The present invention solves the problem of not having a function of attaching frequently used headers and footers in the portable terminal, and inputting the same contents every time a short message is used, and by attaching a pre-stored header and footer when using a short message, This has the advantage of providing convenience to the user.
