Description

Selective reception method during multimedia work in mobile communication terminal}

The present invention relates to a selective reception method of a multimedia operation in a mobile communication terminal, in particular, when a user of a mobile communication terminal receives a call during multimedia (game, listening to stored music, chatting, watching a movie, writing a text message, etc.) other than a call. The present invention relates to an optional receiving method that allows a user to preferentially select a task to be preceded.

Personal mobile phones are being developed in various ways such as cellular phones, PCS phones, satellite communication phones. In addition, his technical development is being made continuously, and even more advanced technologies are being developed, and functions and designs are being developed so that the limits of portable communication are unpredictable.

However, all research and commercialization is being made in the development of such advanced technologies, but there are problems in that mobile phones are being used as daily necessities in our daily life, and the additional functions are not easily reflected by the general public.

A commonly used mobile communication terminal includes a user information input unit for inputting user information and a display device for displaying the input information and schedule information in a visible state. Examples of such information processing devices include digital portable telephones (cellular phones), electronic notebooks, personal digital assistants (PCS phones), and IMT-2000 (International Mobile Telecommunication 2000). Such portable mobile communication terminals usually perform user information processing and perform various functions according to a user's request. A method commonly used in the method of performing such functions is to perform an operation of a corresponding function according to a menu selection input or a shortcut key. There is a way to make it happen. This is done by assigning a menu corresponding to a specific function and then displaying a specified menu according to a predetermined request input so that when a user selects the menu, a predetermined function according to the selected menu is performed. Through a process to perform a predetermined function according to the menu to be performed. In addition, recently, if a function is required to be performed by the user by iconizing each menu, the corresponding icon selection is made accordingly, and the function is performed by selecting the icon accordingly. The proposed method is to further increase the convenience of.

However, as an example of various portable electronic devices displaying information through such a liquid crystal display device, the portable terminal cannot display a large amount of information at a time because only one small and medium liquid crystal panel is provided. In particular, among the mobile phones currently on the market, for example, when a user wants to play a game in the middle of an incoming call, if they press a button regardless of the user's intention, the user can make a call immediately. There is only a problem.

That is, in the related art, a user writes a message using an SMS, writes an e-mail or address book, plays a game, listens to stored music, chats, watches movies, etc. After storing the message in a temporary buffer and receiving the call, the work is performed again, so that when the user wants to perform another task regardless of the user's intention, the user has no choice but to make a call.

The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above problems, when the user of the mobile communication terminal when the incoming call during the operation of multimedia (games, stored music listening, chat, watching movies, text messages, etc.) other than the call It is an object of the present invention to provide a selective reception method for preferentially selecting a desired task.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for selectively receiving a multimedia task in a mobile communication terminal, the method comprising: a first step of checking whether a call rejection function is set during an operation during a call interrupt during the operation; A second step of generating a second screen LCD by dividing a first screen LCD displaying a currently activated job upon setting a selective call rejection function during a job according to a result of the checking of the first step; And a third step of displaying an incoming call record (including an outgoing call number or a received message) on the second screen LCD while maintaining the activation of the job on the first screen LCD. .

The present invention may further include a fourth step of activating the first screen LCD and the second screen LCD according to a user's selection after performing the third step.

In addition, the present invention, upon setting the front call rejection function during the operation according to the confirmation result of the first step, while maintaining the current active operation without splitting the first screen (LCD), incoming call And a fifth step of storing a history (including an outgoing call number or a received message).

The above objects, features and advantages will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an exemplary configuration diagram of a mobile communication terminal to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in Figure 1, the control unit 10 of the mobile communication terminal controls the overall operation of the terminal, the user of the mobile communication terminal according to the invention multimedia (games, stored music listening, chat, movie, other than a call) Listening, text message creation, etc.) During the call, the user can preferentially select the work to be done. In other words, if you use the optional Do Not Disturb feature during incoming calls (interrupts occur), you can split the screen to notify the incoming call so that you can choose to either keep active or call active and use the Do Not Disturb feature. If not, the calling party stores the calling number without notifying the incoming call and maintains the current active job.

Accordingly, the controller 10 controls the screen determination method to which the screen division, screen size adjustment, and operation of the menu key are applied when the selective call rejection function is used. Then, control of various components provided is achieved.

The voice memory 11 stores various voice data.

The memory 12 stores an operation program and a system program of the control unit 10, and the operation program and the system program are stored in a ROM area that is normally included and can be erased as necessary. Electrically erasable ROMs include EEPROM and flash memory. The memory 12 also includes RAM for temporarily storing data generated during the execution of various operating programs.

The key input unit 13 includes a plurality of numeric keys, menu keys, and function keys for performing various functions (in particular, a screen division setting key, a screen switch key for selecting an operation by a function key during screen division, a screen division release key, etc.). ), And outputs key data to the controller 10 by an external operation.

Here, the screen division setting key, the screen switch key, and the screen division release key may be separately designated, or may be designated as a hot key in addition to the basic function. For example, in the case of additional designation, the screen division setting key is # 1, the screen switch key is # 2, and the screen division release key is # 3.

There are two main ways to divide the screen. One is when the first LCD (main screen) is being used by the user (e.g. playing a game or listening to music), a call is received or a text message is sent via SMS. When the reception is received, the main screen (first LCD) is automatically divided and the sub screen (second LCD) is displayed.

The other is that the user presses the screen division setting key while the first LCD (main screen) is being used by the user (e.g. playing a game or listening to music) or in the initial menu state (no use). The sub-screen (second LCD) is displayed by forcibly dividing the screen (first LCD).

The screen division setting key may be designated as a separate basic key on the terminal, or may be additionally assigned to an existing function key. For example, the hot key as the screen division setting key can be "# 1" or the like.

The display unit 14 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) and the like, and displays the state of the mobile communication terminal or the progress of the program under the control of the control unit 10. That is, the overall state of the mobile communication terminal and input user information are displayed.

Accordingly, the controller 10 reads the menu from the memory 12 and displays the menu on the display unit 14 in response to a user's menu display request by the key input unit 13. That is, the key input unit 13 is a conventional user information input means, and has a plurality of keys suitable for a mobile communication terminal to be applied, such as a number of numeric keys and function keys, and if there is an input of each of the provided keys, Therefore, by outputting the corresponding unique key data to the control unit 10, through the key input operation of the key input unit 13 to enter the menu display mode and selection of the menu is made. Then, the controller 10 reads the menu according to the corresponding key input from the memory 12 and displays the menu on the display unit 14.

The RF unit 15 is controlled by the controller 10 and converts a signal output from the controller 10 into a radio signal. In addition, the RF unit 15 converts the radio signal received through the antenna into a desired signal and outputs it.

The ring tone generator 16 generates a ring tone through the speaker under the control of the controller 10.

The voice processor 17 modulates the voice signal input from the microphone to convert the voice signal into voice data, demodulates the voice data input from the RF unit 15 and the voice data stored in the voice memory 11 into voice signals. Sound is output through a speaker.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a selective reception method during a multimedia operation in a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

As shown in Figure 2, the selective reception method of the multimedia operation in the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention, the user of the mobile communication terminal other than the call multimedia (game, stored music listening, chat, movie watching, text message, etc.) When the call is interrupted to the mobile communication terminal, the incoming call rejection function is checked in operation 201 so that the user may preferentially select a work to be prior to the incoming call during the operation.

As a result of the check, when the selective call rejection function is set during the operation, the second screen LCD is generated by dividing the first screen LCD displaying the currently activated operation (202).

Subsequently, the incoming call log (including an outgoing call number or a received message) is displayed on the second screen while maintaining the work activation on the first screen (203). Subsequently, the first screen LCD and the second screen LCD may be activated according to a user's selection.

A more detailed description thereof will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3C.

On the other hand, as a result of checking the incoming call rejection function during the operation, the current active job is maintained without dividing the first screen and the incoming call log (including the incoming call number or the received message) is stored at step 204.

The operation of the screen division process 202 of the selective reception method during the multimedia operation in the mobile communication terminal having the structure as described above will be described in detail as follows.

3A to 3C are diagrams illustrating an embodiment of a mobile communication terminal having a screen display window according to the present invention.

When the main screen (first LCD) of FIG. 3A is forcibly divided by automatic or user selection, the sub screen (second LCD) of the minimum unit appears on the main screen (first LCD) as shown in FIG. 3B. At this time, the size of the sub-screen (second LCD) can be arbitrarily adjusted as shown in Figure 3c, as a screen control key of the sub-screen can be specified as a separate primary key on the terminal, the side key (side key) as the existing setting key Or use navigation keys.

For example, referring to the operation by the side key as the screen size adjusting key, "↑" is the screen size in the up and down direction of the sub-screen (second LCD), and "↓" is the sub-screen (second LCD). ) Adjust the screen size in left and right directions. In addition, when using the navigation keys, it is possible to apply up, down, left and right (↑, ↓, ←, →) as it is. That is, while the main screen (first LCD) is divided and the sub screen (second LCD) is displayed, the size of the sub screen (second LCD) is adjusted by pressing a screen control key (side key, navigation key).

On the other hand, when the main screen (the first LCD) is divided and the sub screen (the second LCD) appears, the operation by the function keys in each screen (the first and the second LCD) can be selectively performed. This is possible by means of a switch key. That is, in the screen divided state, the operation by the menu key is based on the operation on the main screen (first LCD). If the screen switching key is pressed, the operation by the menu key is performed on the sub screen (second LCD). Switch to action. That is, when the main screen (first LCD) and the sub screen (second LCD) exist at the same time, the screen to which the operation of the menu key is applied is determined by the screen switching key. The screen switching key may be designated as a separate basic key on the terminal, or may use a screen division setting key (specified key or "# 1"). Alternatively, it may be specified in addition to an existing function key. For example, the hot key as the screen switching key can be "# 2" or the like. For example, when the screen is divided into the first and second LCDs, the operation by the menu key is operated on the main screen (first LCD), and when the screen division setting key is pressed, the operation by the menu key is changed to the sub-screen (the first LCD). 2 LCD) can be switched to the operation.

However, while the main screen (first LCD) is being used by the user (for example, playing a game or listening to music), a call is received or a text message is received via SMS, and the main screen (first LCD) is automatically received. When the sub screen (second LCD) is divided and the sub screen is generated, the operation by the menu key may be set based on the operation on the sub screen (second LCD). Of course, even in such a case, if the screen switching key or the screen division setting key is pressed, it is obvious that the screen to which the operation by the menu key is applied is switched.

In addition, when a call is received while a main screen (first LCD) is being used or a text message is received through SMS, the main screen (first LCD) is automatically divided to generate a sub screen (second LCD). When the menu key is applied only to the sub-screen (second LCD) without the screen switching function where the action by the key can be selectively applied, and the execution of the operation on the sub-screen (second LCD) is completed (for example, call completion, text) Completed transmission and reception, etc.) The secondary screen (second LCD) disappears automatically and only the main screen (first LCD) remains, and a function key is operated on the main screen (first LCD).

Meanwhile, when the main screen (first LCD) and the sub screen (second LCD) are present at the same time, when the screen split release key is pressed on the screen to which the menu key is applied, the corresponding screen disappears and only the remaining screen remains. For example, when the screen division release key is pressed while the menu key is operated on the main screen (first LCD), the main screen (first LCD) disappears and the sub screen (second LCD) becomes the main screen. On the contrary, when the screen division release key is pressed while the menu key is operated on the sub screen (second LCD), the sub screen (second LCD) disappears and the main screen (first LCD) remains intact.

The screen splitting release key may be designated as a separate basic key on the terminal, or may be additionally assigned to an existing function key. For example, the hot key as the screen division release key can be "# 3" or the like.

As described above, the present invention divides the first LCD (main screen) to adjust the size of the added second LCD (secondary screen), and selects from the main screen (first LCD) and the sub-screen (second LCD). It is possible to operate by regular function keys.

The present invention described above is not limited to the above-described embodiments and the accompanying drawings, and various substitutions, modifications, and changes are possible in the art without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. It will be clear to those of ordinary knowledge.

As described above, the present invention allows a mobile communication terminal user to preferentially select a task to be performed by the user when a call is received during multimedia (game, listening to stored music, chatting, watching a movie, writing a text message, etc.) other than a call. By doing so, according to one's intention, there is an effect that it can be used without interruption of desired calls or other functions.
