In addition, in the mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, when there is no telephone number including the input numbers, the automatic dialing method performs the automatic dialing or uses the input numbers. It is characterized in that it further comprises the step of displaying that there is no phone number to include or the call with the input digits.

According to the present invention, when a user does not know a storage address of a memory in which a phone number of a counterpart who wants to make a call is stored, only a predetermined number of digits (for example, 3 or 4 digits) of the counterpart phone number If you press the Send Key button immediately without entering the search menu and using the search menu, the phone number containing the number is automatically searched and you can make a call immediately. This eliminates the inconvenience of typing all the numbers, including the area code, when dialing a phone number to make a call. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, the system for automatic dialing searches for a phone number stored inside when a user presses a transmission key with a phone number input by the user. If a number is found, it is possible to make a call. If a number is found, the call is not immediately performed. Instead, the found number is displayed to be selected by the user to make a call to the selected number.

And, the configuration of the system, as shown in Figure 1, the MSM (11) for controlling the overall operation of the mobile communication terminal, and the numeric keys, alphabet keys, various character keys, function keys, etc. A key input unit 12 for generating key data for the MSM 11 and outputting the key data to the MSM 11, and a display unit 13 for displaying a plurality of pieces of information such as data display and operation state input from the MSM 11; , A memory unit 14 including random access memory (RAM) and read only memory (ROM) and storing a predetermined operation program and data generated while the operation program is executed, and having a message storage area for storing a received message. )

An automatic dialing method in a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 2.

First, when a user does not know the storage address of the memory unit 14, which stores the telephone number of the counterpart to make a call in the mobile communication terminal, to perform a call by automatic dialing, only a predetermined number of the counterpart phone numbers are used. If only the number of digits (for example, 3 digits or 4 digits) is input through the key input unit 12 and the transmit key button is pressed without using the search menu, the corresponding key input unit 12 is input by the user. Key data corresponding to a predetermined number of numbers and a transmission key button are generated and applied to the MSM 11.

Accordingly, the MSM 11 checks the key data applied through the key input unit 12. First, after confirming the input of the transmission key button by the user (step S1), a predetermined number of numbers input by the user are identified. Is confirmed to correspond to emergency telephone numbers such as '112', '113', '119' and the like (step S2).

And, if the predetermined number of numbers input in the second step (S2) does not correspond to the emergency telephone number, the MSM 11 is the number that the number of numbers input by the user can generally make a call. That is, it is checked whether or not the number of preset numbers (for example, seven numbers) that can make a call is greater (step S3).

Accordingly, when the predetermined number of numbers input in the second step (S2) corresponds to the emergency telephone number, or when the number of numbers input in the third step (S3) is greater than or equal to the number of numbers that can make a call. The MSM 11 performs autodialing using the number input through the key input unit 12 (step S4).

That is, the MSM 11 transmits the number input through the key input unit 12 to a transceiver unit (not shown in the drawing for convenience of description), and the transceiver unit transmits the number to the base station (for convenience of description). (Not shown) for conversion to a wireless signal so that it can be transmitted to an exchange (not shown in the figure for convenience of description) and transmitted to the corresponding base station. Lose.

On the other hand, when the number of numbers input in the third step S3 is less than the number of numbers that can make a call, the MSM 11 searches for the phone numbers stored in the phone book of the memory unit 14. Search for phone numbers including a predetermined number of numbers input through the key input unit 12, that is, find a phone number having a number corresponding to the input numbers among the addresses stored in the phone book ( Step S5).

Then, the MSM 11 checks the result of the search in the fifth step S5, that is, checks whether there is only one telephone number including the entered numbers (step S6).

Then, if there is only one phone number including the numbers input in the sixth step (S6), the corresponding phone number is the phone number of the other party that the user is to make a call, the MSM (11) Auto dialing is performed using the telephone number (step S7).

In most cases, the three or four digits after the phone number are usually unique, so most of the time, only one phone number is searched for the number you enter, which means that the phone number is immediately available without a phone number search menu. Call attempts can be made by searching the phone number.

On the other hand, if there are two or more telephone numbers including the numbers input in the sixth step S6, the telephone number of the counterpart to be called by the user may be selected from among the searched telephone numbers. In order to be able to do so, the MSM 11 controls the display unit 13 to display the searched telephone numbers on the display window (step S8).

Then, when the user selects the telephone number of the other party to make a call from among the displayed telephone numbers, the MSM 11 confirms the selection of one telephone number among the displayed telephone numbers (step S9). ), Automatic dialing is performed using the selected phone number (step S10).

Alternatively, since the user can know the displayed phone number and the user name of the number through the display window, if the user does not remember the wrong phone number by mistake, the user can press the end button to perform auto dialing. It allows you to cancel.

In addition, when there is no telephone number including the numbers input in the sixth step S6, the MSM 11 performs the automatic dialing using the input numbers or the display unit ( 13) to display on the display window that there is no telephone number that includes the entered numbers, or that the number can not be dialed.

As described above, the present invention inputs three or four digits of the other party's telephone number to which the user wants to call, that is, if the telephone number is frequently dialed, the user knows the storage address of the corresponding telephone number, but the other party does not. In this case, users usually remember a lot of 3 or 4 digits after the phone number, and after inputting only the 3 or 4 digits, even if the user presses a call button, the user dials automatically by performing the above operation. This can be done.

As described above, according to the present invention, by making a call without searching for a phone number search using a predetermined number of numbers input from a mobile communication terminal, a predetermined number of numbers stored by the user without inputting all the phone numbers. You can try to call the other party directly without entering the phone number by using the number.
