Abstract

PURPOSE: A destination select call method of a mobile terminal is provided to inform a user about a call which has been received and stored in a sleep mode after the sleep mode is released. CONSTITUTION: When a user selects a sleep mode for a mobile terminal(S110), a controller switches the mobile terminal to the sleep mode(S112). The controller determines whether a call is received(S114). If a call is received, the controller checks whether a phone number of the received call has been selected for providing a destination signal by the user(S116). If the phone number of the received call is not the selected number, an automatic answering announcement message stored in a memory is read and transmitted to a caller(S118) and the phone number of the caller is added in a destination list(S120). The controller determines whether the sleep mode is released(S122). If the sleep mode is released, the controller provides the destination list(S124).

Description

Selective call method for mobile communication terminal {Method for answering calls selectively in mobile phone}

The present invention relates to a method of an incoming call to a mobile communication terminal, in particular, if the sleep mode is set, the phone stores only when the call comes on, but does not ring or vibrate, but informs the user of the stored information when the sleep mode is released. The present invention relates to a call forwarding method in a mobile communication terminal.

In recent years, due to the rapid development of communication technology and the convenience of communication, the number of people who communicate using a telephone or a mobile phone is increasing rapidly.

In particular, mobile phones have almost one mobile phone per person because of the advantage of being able to talk to the other party anytime and anywhere.

Despite the advantage that mobile phones can communicate with each other no matter when or where, noise pollution caused by cell phone ringtones or vibrations coming from the other party is more serious than any other pollution in modern society.

In particular, cell phone ringtones in public places, such as schools, government agencies, libraries, etc., where you should not talk on the phone, and in private times when you do not want to receive a cell phone personally, such as bedtime, rest, research, driving, etc. In addition, it is causing inconvenience to other people around.

As an alternative to solve this problem, various technologies have been developed, such as an answering machine and a non-call reception system.

Automated answering system is a technology that has been widely applied to telephones using landline. It can inform the other party of the preset announcement when the receiver is absent, and can leave a message to the receiver by voice recording if the other party needs it. Technology.

The system that does not receive calls is a case where a receiver who enters or leaves a public place switches a cell phone to a non-receiving mode in advance, or installs a communication jamming system. Will not be caused.

However, in the case of using the non-call reception system, since a call request from the caller is blocked at the source, an urgent phone call request from the caller side cannot solve this problem.

In addition, in the case of using the answering machine, only the contents of the incoming call can be confirmed when the receiver is absent, and thus, the receiver cannot directly cope with a telephone call request of the other party.

In addition, in the case of using the answering machine, if the answering machine is still set, there is a problem in that a vibration or a bell rings when the call comes on, so that the user cannot take a comfortable rest.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, in particular, if the sleep mode is set to only store the phone when the call comes on, but do not ring the bell or vibration, the user stored information when the sleep mode is released An object of the present invention is to provide an incoming call selection method in a mobile communication terminal.

The present invention for achieving the above object, the control unit of the mobile terminal comprises a first step of switching to the sleep mode when the sleep mode is set by the user; A second step of performing an automatic response when an incoming call is received in the sleep mode of the first step and adding a caller's telephone number to the incoming call list; And a third step of providing the user of the mobile communication terminal with the stored called list when the sleep mode of the first step is released.

In addition, the present invention comprises a fourth step of storing the selected telephone number by selecting a number desired to be called after the first step; And a fifth step of determining whether the incoming call is a selected phone number in the sleep mode of the first step, providing an incoming call if the selected phone number is performed, and performing the second step if the incoming call number is not the selected phone number. do.

Now, with reference to the drawings of Figure 1 will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a block diagram of a mobile communication terminal equipped with a call selection call function according to the present invention.

The control unit 10 controls the general operation of the mobile communication terminal, and hangs up after performing an automatic response without informing the user of any incoming call when there is an incoming call in the sleep mode.

In addition, the control unit 10 determines whether the call corresponds to the selected number when there is an incoming call in the sleep mode that provides the call to the selected number. If the call corresponds to the selected number, the controller 10 notifies the incoming call. Hang up after performing auto answer without telling the user.

The memory 14 stores a predetermined program for controlling the overall operation of the mobile phone, and stores data input and output and various data processed during program execution.

Here, the memory 14 stores a program for performing a sleep mode, and also stores voice data for an automatic response guide message and voice data for a message left by the caller.

The memory 14 also stores a number selected to provide a sleep mode that provides an incoming call to the selected number.

The duplexer 18 communicates with the base station through the antenna so that the signal from the transmitter 20 is transmitted to the base station through the antenna, and the signal from the base station through the antenna is received by the receiver 22.

The receiver 26 is controlled by the controller 10 and receives a radio signal output from the duplexer 18.

The transmitter 20 transmits the modulated radio signal from the audio unit 24 to the duplexer 24. The audio unit 24 is controlled by the control unit 10, modulates a voice signal input through the microphone (MIC) into a wireless signal, demodulates the wireless signal received through the receiver 22 to the speaker (SP) The audio signal is sent to the camera.

In addition, the audio unit 24 detects the ring signal through the receiver 26 when the ring signal is generated from the base station and transmits the ring signal through the ringer.

Accordingly, the user acoustically confirms that a ring signal is generated from the base station.

The key input unit 12 includes a numeric key, a voice mailbox switching key, and various function keys. When the user presses a predetermined key, the key input unit 12 generates a corresponding key input signal and outputs it to the controller 10. The display unit 16 controls the controller. Controlled by (10), the key input signal generated by the key input unit 12 and various information signals from the control unit 10 are received and displayed.

In this case, the display unit 16 includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) for displaying various kinds of information. The voice synthesizing apparatus 26 reads the voice data corresponding to the automatic response guide message from the memory 14 under the control of the control unit 10, synthesizes the voice signal into a voice signal, and outputs the voice signal to the audio unit 24. The audio signal corresponding to the business message inputted from 24 is analyzed and stored in the memory 14.

1 to 2, the operation of the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

First, when the user selects the sleep mode using the sleep mode selection menu (step S110), the controller switches to the sleep mode (step S112).

At this time, the control unit may provide a sleep mode to allow an incoming call for the selected number. To this end, the control unit allows the user to select a specific phone number to be called from the sleep mode setting screen.

Thereafter, the control unit determines whether there is an incoming call (step S114), and if there is no incoming call, continuously monitors whether there is an incoming call, and checks whether the incoming number is the selected number (step S116).

The number selected here refers to a number for providing an incoming signal only for that number and is a number selected by the user.

As a result of checking whether the number is the selected number, the incoming state is notified by an incoming signal such as a vibration or a ring tone (step S126).

If it is not the selected number, after performing the autoresponder function of reading the autoresponder guide message stored in the memory and transmitting it to the caller (step S118), the caller's telephone number is added to the called list (step S120).

Subsequently, it is determined whether the sleep mode is released (step S122), and if the sleep mode is not released, the process is repeated from the process of determining whether there is an incoming call, and if the sleep mode is released, the incoming list is provided (step S124).

On the other hand, in the detailed description of the present invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, of course, various modifications are possible within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined not only by the scope of the following claims, but also by those equivalent to the scope of the claims.
