The message processing method.

In general, a communication service is an inexpensive and universal mobile service that enables an individual to perform voice and low-speed data communication regardless of place and time using a mobile communication terminal. Currently, wired / wireless communication networks are mainly used for voice communication. However, in recent years, due to the steady increase in the number of data service subscribers, its use is expanding to non-voice services such as data services.

SMS (Short Message Service) supplementary service is a service that performs additional functions other than basic message delivery through a special type of message by providing additional information to the subscriber by loading additional information on the SMS basic service.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an SMS supplementary service processing system in a general personal communication service network. As shown in FIG. 1, a terminal 101 for a subscriber to transmit an supplementary service request and receive a short message as a result of supplementary service is shown. And a base station / base international controller (BSC / BTS) 102 for allowing the terminal 101 to access a network using a wireless protocol, and request for additional services from the base station / base international controller 102 Additional service request and requested additional service from the personal communication exchange / visitor information processing system (PCX / VLR) 103 for relaying / exchanging short messages resulting from the supplementary service, and the exchange / visitor information processing system 103 A short message processing system (SMC) 105 for temporarily storing and transmitting the short message data for processing the short message processing system (SMC) 105 According to the additional subscriber's request for supplementary service, the supplementary service integrated management system (VAS) 106 which performs SMS supplementary service management such as overall subscriber management, billing management and operation management for all SMS supplementary services, and supplementary service integrated management One or more SMS additional service units (ESME) 107 for generating a short message corresponding to the requested supplementary service under the instruction of the system (VAS), and providing the location of the called terminal for short message processing, and the called terminal provides a short message. Subscriber information processing system (HLR) 104 for notifying whether a message can be received.

The terminal 101 and the SMS supplementary service device (ESME) 107 generate and receive a short message and perform a function of terminating the delivery situation.

In particular, the terminal 101 may have a function of temporarily storing a short message and a short message notification function to process a short message in addition to a general call processing and location registration function.

One SMS supplementary service is implemented in one ESME 107, and the ESME 107 may exist inside or outside the supplementary service integration management system (VAS) 106 depending on the characteristics of the supplementary service.

The Short Message Processing System (SMC) 105 can additionally handle SMS basic services, and also performs a gateway function for short message processing, and exchange / visitor information processing system (PCX / VLR) 103 And performs an SMS Mobile Application Part (MAP) processing function for interworking with the subscriber information processing system (HLR) 104 and a protocol (X.25) matching function for interworking with an external service provider.

In particular, it performs a VMS access function for the VMS (Voice Mail System) notification function and a processing function (X.400) for the E-mail notification function.

The personal communication exchange / visitor processing system (PBX / VLR) 103 is connected to the base station / base international language controller 102 and the short message processing system (SMC) 105, and performs routing to perform a short message. It performs relay / exchange and identifies short messages.

Here, a method of inputting the text message will be described.

First, the user presses a text message function button in the menu to switch to a text message transmission / reception function service.

Then, after inputting the telephone number of the other party to send the text, the text to be sent is input using the text on the keypad.

Then, when the text message is completed, the text message is transmitted by pressing the 'SEND' button.

Here, when a call is being attempted by a user or an incoming call is generated from an arbitrary party, a number of functions provided by a mobile communication terminal cannot be operated. In the case of a text message transmission, SMS is input after canceling a call connection attempt. If you want to send a text message through the routine, and if you want to send a voice message, the other party does not answer the phone and tries to connect for a certain period of time, then moves to the voice mailbox and transmits the voice message.

That is, when a user is trying to make a call with a mobile communication terminal or when an incoming call occurs from the other party, the user cannot operate a text message transmission function or a voice mail connection function. There is a problem that can not send a message.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the mobile communication terminal of the mobile communication terminal that can store a voice message or a phone number by sending a text message to the other party or when connected to a voice mailbox during a call connection attempt or a call occurs The purpose is to provide a message handling method.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a mobile communication terminal, comprising: determining whether a text message transmission menu or a voice mailbox connection menu is selected by a user when a call connection attempt or call occurs; When the text message transmission menu is selected, inputting and transmitting a text message on an SMS editor screen; As a result of the determination, if the menu of the voice mailbox connection menu is selected, the method moves to the voice mailbox and stores the voice message or the phone number.

Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the message processing method of the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a method of processing a message of a mobile communication terminal of the present invention, in which a user determines whether a text message transmission menu is selected when a call connection is attempted (SP1, SP2); When the text message transmission menu is selected as a result of the determination, inputting and transmitting a text message on the SMS editor screen (SP3, SP4); If it is determined that the text message transmission menu is not selected, determining whether a voice mailbox connection menu is selected (SP5); As a result of the determination, when the voice mailbox connection menu is selected, the user moves to the voice mailbox and stores the voice message or the phone number, and if the voice message transmission menu is not selected, forming a call path with the other party (SP6 to SP9). The operation of the present invention will be described.

First, when a call connection attempt is made by the user (SP1), it is determined whether the text message transmission menu is selected (SP2), and when the text message transmission menu is selected, the user inputs and sends a text message on the SMS editor screen (SP3, SP4).

At this time, when the user selects the text message transmission menu, the recipient's number and the sender's number are automatically entered, and an SMS editor screen appears, and the user inputs and sends a text message on the SMS editor screen.

If the text message transmission menu is not selected by the user, it is determined whether the voice message transmission menu is selected (SP5), and when the voice mailbox connection menu is selected, the user moves to the recipient's voice mailbox and stores the voice message or the phone number. If the voice message transmission menu is not selected (SP6, SP7), a call path is established with the other party (SP8, SP9).

Here, as shown in FIG. 3, when an incoming call occurs (SP21), it is determined whether a text message transmission menu is selected (SP22), and when a text message transmission menu is selected, a text message is input and transmitted on the SMS editor screen (SP23, SP24). .

In other words, when the user cannot receive an incoming call, if the user selects the text message transmission menu, an SMS editor screen in which the caller's phone number is entered appears, and the user enters a text message in the SMS editor screen. When you press the send button, the text message is sent to the sender.

In addition, when the user cannot answer the call, if the user selects the text message transmission menu, the user may select and transmit a pre-stored text message in case the incoming call cannot be received.

If the text message transmission menu is not selected by the user, it is determined whether the voice mail connection menu is selected (SP5), and if the voice mail connection menu is selected by the user, the caller moves to the user's (recipient) voice mail box. Accordingly, the caller stores the voice message or the phone number (SP6, SP7).

Here, if the voice mail connection is selected by the user when the incoming call occurs, a pre-stored announcement (for example, cannot receive a call. Leave a message or call back later). Then go to voicemail.

If, by the user, the voice mailbox connection menu is not selected, a general call is formed by forming a call path with the caller (SP8, SP9).

The specific embodiments or examples made in the detailed description of the present invention are intended to clarify the technical contents of the present invention to the extent that they should not be construed as limited to these specific embodiments and should not be construed in consultation.
