Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for displaying the receive sensitivity of a mobile terminal is provided to display the receive sensitivity of an RF(radio frequency) received from a base station as colors, so that a user can more conveniently confirm the receive sensitivity. CONSTITUTION: When a signal(frequency) is transmitted/received between a mobile terminal and a base station through an RF transmitter/receiver, a controller checks the strength of the receive sensitivity of the signal(S10). Information on colors designated so as to be displayed on a display according to the strength of the receive sensitivity is prestored in a memory. If the strength of the receive sensitivity exists within an 'a' range, a blue color is displayed(S20,S30). If the strength of the receive sensitivity does not exist within the 'a' range, a red color is displayed(S40).

Description

Method for displaying sensitivity of mobile terminal

The present invention relates to a receiving sensitivity display method of a mobile terminal.

More particularly, the present invention relates to a reception sensitivity display of information displayed on the LCD of a mobile terminal. When the reception sensitivity display in the form of an antenna bar is received from the base station in good frequency, the blue color is displayed and the frequency reception is performed. When the state is not good, the red system color is displayed, so that the mobile terminal user is more comfortable in displaying the reception sensitivity of the method for displaying the reception sensitivity of the mobile terminal.

In general, a mobile terminal uses an antenna to receive or transmit a radio frequency, and the reception sensitivity of the radio frequency received from the base station through the antenna is in the form of an antenna bar on the LCD, which is a display unit of the mobile terminal, as shown in FIG. Is displayed.

That is, when the reception sensitivity of the radio frequency received from the base station is good, the number of antenna bars is displayed as shown in FIG. 1, and when the reception sensitivity of the radio frequency received from the base station is not good, Small number is displayed.

In particular, the mobile terminals that are released these days are mostly color phones in which the data displayed on the LCD is displayed in color. The antenna bar indicating the reception sensitivity of the radio frequency is displayed the same without any difference between the mobile terminals displaying only black and white. have.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for allowing a user to more conveniently check the reception sensitivity by displaying the reception sensitivity of the radio frequency received from the base station in color.

One embodiment of the present invention for realizing the above object is a method for displaying the reception sensitivity of a frequency received from a base station, by checking the reception sensitivity strength of the frequency received from the base station, A reception sensitivity checking step of determining which range of the reception sensitivity in which the intensity is set; And a reception sensitivity display step of displaying reception sensitivity in a color set to be output in a corresponding range according to the determination result.

In particular, the reception sensitivity display step is displayed in a blue system when the reception sensitivity is good, and a red system when the reception sensitivity is poor.

These objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description. In describing the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the description thereof will be omitted.

2 is a configuration diagram of a mobile terminal supporting the reception sensitivity display method of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating the reception sensitivity display method of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, a mobile terminal for supporting the present invention includes a keypad 10 configured to generate key data corresponding to a key selected by a user and to transmit the generated key data to the controller 20. The control unit 20 performs overall operation control of the mobile terminal, the memory 50 for storing an algorithm and a phone number or a text message for the operation of the mobile terminal, and an information signal generated during an operation operation of the mobile terminal. And a display unit 40 for displaying and a radio frequency transmitting / receiving unit 30 for transmitting / receiving a voice signal or a text message to a base station.

In particular, since the hardware configuration of the mobile terminal is the same as the existing mobile terminal configuration, it is specified that only the schematic components are listed above.

In particular, the present invention proposes a display method that allows a user to check the frequency signal transmission / reception state (reception sensitivity) with the base station among the information displayed on the display unit 40 in color.

In general, the display unit 40 displays a battery bar indicating a residual amount of a battery for supplying power to the mobile terminal, a background screen or a text, a date, a time, etc. specified by the user, and displays a ring mode or an alarm setting set by the user. Additional icons may be displayed.

The mobile terminal applied to the present invention is a color phone which is rapidly increasing in use these days, and information displayed on the display unit 40 is displayed in color.

Accordingly, unlike the case where the display is performed only in black and white, the display unit 40 of the mobile terminal can be more variously decorated, such as setting a color image as a background image on the display unit 40 of the mobile terminal.

Of the information displayed on the display unit 40, the antenna bar or the battery bar is set to the icon or type is displayed by the mobile terminal itself, in the present invention, the reception sensitivity of the frequency transmitted and received with the base station to be displayed in color .

First, when a signal (frequency) is transmitted / received between a mobile terminal and a base station through the radio frequency transmitter / receiver 30, the controller 20 checks the strength of reception sensitivity (S10).

Information about the color designated to be displayed on the display unit 40 according to the checked intensity of the received sensitivity is stored in the memory 50 in advance.

For example, a program is stored in the memory 50 to display red when the intensity of reception sensitivity is in the range of 0 to A and blue when the intensity of reception sensitivity is in the range of A to B.

In the case where the memory 50 is programmed as in the above example, when the reception sensitivity strength of the control unit 20 is checked in step S10, the intensity of the reception sensitivity falls within the A to B range (assuming 'a range'). Is displayed (S20, S30), if it does not fall within the 'a range' is displayed red (S40).

In general, blue indicates a good reception sensitivity, and red indicates a poor reception sensitivity.

However, it is a matter of course that the display in blue and red is only an example and may be displayed in a different color.

Particularly, when the state of the reception sensitivity is further divided and displayed in stages, the color displayed according to the strength of the reception sensitivity may be further classified.

That is, when the intensity of the reception sensitivity corresponds to the a range, blue may be programmed in the range b, lighter than the blue in the b range, orange in the c range, and red in the d range.

As described above, the color of blue or red may change from time to time according to the sensitivity of reception.

The shape of displaying the color of the reception sensitivity may be various, such as a circle or a square, or a specific icon indicating the reception sensitivity.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art, which are included in the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.

As described above, the present invention has an effect that the user can recognize the reception sensitivity at a glance by displaying the reception sensitivity indicating the wireless frequency transmission / reception state between the base station and the mobile terminal in color.
