Description

Call method using ear microphone for mobile terminal {TRAFFIC METHOD FOR USING EAR-MICPHONE IN A MOBILE PHONE}

The present invention relates to an ear microphone for a mobile terminal, and more particularly, to a communication method using an ear microphone for a mobile terminal connected to the mobile terminal to enable a call without directly using the mobile terminal itself. .

The mobile terminal enables the user to make a call regardless of the place and time, and the use of the terminal is continuously increasing due to such convenience of use.

Due to the popular dissemination, various peripheral devices are being developed to make the use of the terminal more convenient, and the ear microphone is a representative example.

1 is a plan view illustrating a general mobile terminal for an ear microphone, and the schematic configuration will be described with reference to the following.

The ear microphone is a cord (1) of a predetermined length, the plug (2) and earphones (4) connected to both ends of the cord (1) as shown, and the middle of the plug (2) and earphone (4) It consists of a microphone (3) connected to. In addition, the cord 1 is connected to the clip 5 for attaching the ear microphone itself to the user.

In the case of answering or making a call when using the ear microphone, a call with a recent caller is started by pressing the switch 3a. Thereafter, the other party's voice signal is converted into voice through the earphone 4 and output to the user, and the user's voice is converted into a voice signal through the microphone 3 and transmitted to the other party through the terminal.

In addition, call termination is similarly performed by pressing the switch 3a. Therefore, the user can make a call without using a microphone or speaker built in the terminal itself, that is, without using a hand.

However, in the conventional ear microphone, when the user wants to talk with the previous caller instead of the recent call in the recent call list, the user selects using the direction key of the terminal and presses the call button of the terminal to make a call with the desired caller. There was a feeling.

In addition, due to the above-mentioned hassle, when the driver wants to talk to the recent caller in a hurry while driving, the driver who needs to drive ahead, because of the above-mentioned hassle, acts as an obstacle to driving and cause an accident There was a problem that could be.

Therefore, there is a need to be able to make a call with a number to be called in the recent call list even in a situation where a call cannot be operated by using the ear microphone only without using a terminal.

Therefore, the present invention was devised in view of the necessity as described above, so that the user can make a call after checking a recent call list through an ear microphone without a key manipulation of the terminal, without the user having to search the call list while looking at the terminal. An object of the present invention is to provide a call method using an ear microphone for a mobile terminal, which allows one of a call list to be sent.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a recent call list by determining whether there is a recent call list by pressing a selection key of the earphone when the phone is inserted into a jack of a mobile terminal. A first step of voicely notifying the number of the most recent call list, if any; In the most recent call list by pressing the direction key to search the number of the recent call list, if the voice of the number to be sent is output, the second step of starting the call to the corresponding number by operating the selection key.

Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a call method using an ear microphone for a mobile terminal according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, when a plug of an ear microphone is inserted into a jack of a mobile terminal, the selection key of the ear microphone is selected. Determining whether there is a recent call list by pressing a first step, and when the recent call list is present, voicely notifying the number of the most recent call list; The second step of starting the call to the corresponding number by operating the selection key when the voice of the number to be called out by pressing the direction key in the most recent call list is outputted When explaining the operation and operation of the present invention with reference to Figure 3 as follows.

First, the user inserts the plug 20 connected to the end of the cord 10 of the predetermined length of the ear microphone into the jack of the terminal in consideration of a situation in which it is difficult to drive or talk with the microphone and the speaker of the terminal. Using the clip 50 provided in the ear microphone, the ear microphone is attached to a convenient position.

Subsequently, the call made to the terminal presses the select key 40b to make a call, and then press the select key 40b to terminate the call.

On the other hand, if the user wants to make a call by searching the recent call list and making a call to the other party in the call list, first, the user presses the selection key 40b to input the phone number of the most recent call list among the phone numbers of the recent call list. The voice is serviced through 30. At this time, the direction key 40a does not operate even if the user presses the direction key 40a by mistake so that the direction key 40a does not malfunction by the direction key 40a.

However, when the recent call list does not exist, when the selection key 40b is pressed, an error dial tone is output to indicate that the recent call list does not exist.

If the recent call list is present, for example, if the phone number of the most recent call list is '019-345-6789', the user may operate the voice or make it difficult to operate the terminal. Through the telephone number of the most recent call list is found that the '019-345-6789'.

After that, the terminal enters a key input standby state, and determines whether the direction key 40a or the selection key 40b of the ear microphone connected to the terminal is operated.

Therefore, when the determination result determines that the selection key 40b is pressed briefly, the call is made to the corresponding '019-345-6789' phone number, and if the selection key 40b is pressed for a long time, the search of the recent call list is performed. Will end.

In addition, if it is determined that the direction key 40a is pressed, the voice number of the recent call list other than the telephone number of '019-345-6789' is spoken.

At this time, if the upper key of the direction key 40a is pressed, the most recent phone number '019-345-6789' moves to the lowest phone number and the corresponding phone number is spoken by voice, and the lower key of the direction key 40a Press to move to the previous telephone number of '019-345-6789' of the most recent telephone number and the corresponding telephone number is spoken by voice.

In addition, if a lower key is pressed in the lowest phone number, the phone moves to the highest phone number, that is, the most recent telephone number '019-345-6789' and informs the corresponding phone number by voice.

Through the above-described process, the user checks a desired phone number in a recent call list searched for by his voice and then presses a selection key briefly to request a call to the corresponding phone number to make a call with the other party.

The communication method using the ear microphone for a mobile terminal of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and can be carried out in various modifications within the range allowed by the technical idea of the present invention.

As described in detail above, the present invention enables a user to select one of the call lists without having to search the call list while watching the terminal by using a voice call service of the recent call list through the ear microphone without the user's key manipulation. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the risk of an accident when the user is driving, and there is an effect of making a call even in a situation where the user cannot call by operating the terminal.
