Description

Mobile terminal {MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL}

The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal, and in particular, by attaching a shift key and a control key on the upper side or the right side of the mobile communication terminal, and selecting the shift key and the control key by using the left hand's index finger or middle finger. In the case of inputting text by using, the present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal so as to easily use functions such as string selection, copying, cutting, and pasting required for character editing.

In general, personal 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 mainly use voice communication. Although it is being used, 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.

In order to provide various SMS supplementary services, it is easy to add or delete supplementary services and to create a service suitable for subscriber's preferences to facilitate the convenience of subscribers. Here, the method of managing received SMS messages of a general mobile communication terminal is attached. It demonstrates with reference to drawings.

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 is short. 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 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 the text message transmission / reception function mode.

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, while the utilization rate of the text information such as the above-mentioned text message is rapidly increasing, it is causing a lot of inconvenience to users with the primitive editing function by the limited keypad.

That is, the control key and shift key used to perform the function of selecting, copying, cutting, pasting, etc., which are most used for text editing, are not assigned. Thus, the '*' or '#' key is duplicated. In the case of using the duplicated keys, the special function can be executed only by using both hands, so that the user's convenience is deteriorated.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, by attaching a shift key and a control key on the upper side or the right side of the mobile communication terminal, by selecting the shift key and the control key using the left hand detection or middle finger In the case of inputting text using a mobile communication terminal, a mobile communication terminal is provided to improve user convenience by easily using functions such as selecting, copying, cutting, and pasting a character necessary for editing text. Has its purpose.
