METHODO FOR SAVING CONTENTS OF SMS TO REPORT MISSED CALL IN PHONE BOOK IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL}

The present invention relates to a method for storing missed calls in a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a method for storing contents of a connection failure call notification short message in a phone book.

Mobile communication terminals are rapidly spreading due to the convenience of portability, and thus service providers (terminal manufacturers) are competitively developing more special functions or services to secure a large number of users. For example, service providers provide a variety of services such as caller ID, spam SMS blocking, automatic connection, call forwarding, caller ID, call waiting, and so on.

Currently, mobile terminal users can check the information (caller number) for the call through the 'caller display service'. However, these services are available only when the mobile terminal is available for call. Mobile terminal users always demand better service, and from this point of view, there has been a demand from the user to receive 'caller display service' for terminated calls that occur in a state of incapability.

Recently, in order to meet the needs of users, a recent catch call service has been provided. The catch call service is a call received when the power is off or in a shaded area. ) Is a service that informs you using a short message. Therefore, the terminal user can know the incoming call when the power is turned off or in the shaded area.

The content of the catch call short message will include the calling party number and the reception date information. Therefore, upon receiving the catch call short message, the terminal displays the calling party number and the received date on the display window. In this case, since only the phone number is displayed, the user cannot easily know who called. In general, the caller display service is a service that checks whether a caller number is registered in the phone book when a call is received, and reads the name of the caller and displays it on the display window when it is registered in the phone book. In this way, the name registered in the phone book is displayed so that the user can immediately know who called.

Currently, in the case of short messages, only call back numbers are matched in the phone book. Therefore, in the case of the catch call service in which the calling party number is included in the content of the short message, the calling party number is not matched to the phone book but is displayed as it is in the form of a phone number. That is, because only the phone number is displayed, the user cannot easily know who called.

Another problem other than the above is that the missed call (connection failure call) in the non-call state is not stored in the phone book (call history), even though the terminal is notified by the catch call service. As such, the call history of the phone book is not an accurate record because there is no information on the call in the non-call state.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for storing the contents of a connection failure call notification short message in a mobile phone terminal in a call history of a phone book.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for displaying the contents of a connection failure call notification short message in a mobile communication terminal by matching the information with a phone book.

According to the present invention for achieving the above object, in a method for displaying the content of a missed call notification short message in a mobile communication terminal, when the connection failure call notification short message is received, the content of the short message Extracting the calling party number by parsing, searching a phone book with the calling party number, reading the name of the calling party, and extracting the name of the calling party in the content of the short message. The method may further include reconstructing the content of the short message and displaying the reconstructed content of the short message on a display window.

Preferably, while displaying the contents of the reconstructed short message, checking whether storage is selected by a user's operation, and when the storage is selected, parsing the contents of the displayed short message. And reconstructing the call history in accordance with a storage format of the call history, and storing the reconstructed content of the short message in the call history.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In describing the present invention, if it is determined that the detailed description of the related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Hereinafter, the present invention provides a method for displaying the contents of a short message for informing a call in an impossible state in a mobile communication terminal by matching the information in the phone book and displaying the contents of the short message in the phone book of the phone book. Will be described in the following.

1 is a block diagram of a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, the mobile communication terminal includes a cellular phone, a personal communication system (PCS), a personal data assistant (PDA), an international mobile communication-2000 (IMT2000) terminal, and the like. The following description will be described with the general configuration of the above examples.

Referring to FIG. 1, a control unit (MPU: Micro-processor unit) 100 controls the overall operation of the mobile communication terminal. For example, it performs processing and control for voice call and data communication.

The program memory 102 stores a program for controlling the overall operation of the radiotelephone. The program memory 102 may use a flash memory. The data memory 104 temporarily stores data generated during the operation of the mobile communication terminal. The data memory 104 may use a random access memory (RAM). The nonvolatile memory 106 stores telephone numbers and system parameters registered to perform functions such as speed dialing. The nonvolatile memory 106 may use an EEPROM.

The keypad (key pad) 108 is a numeric key buttons of 0-9, menu button (menu), cancel button (clear), confirmation button, call button (TALK), end button (END), Internet access button, A plurality of function keys such as navigation key buttons (▲ / ▼ / ◀ / ▶) are provided, and key input data corresponding to a key pressed by the user is provided to the controller 100.

The display 110 displays status information generated during the operation of the mobile communication terminal, a limited number of characters, a large amount of video and still images, and the like. The display unit 110 may use a liquid crystal display (LCD).

The codec (Coder-Decoder) 112 connected to the control unit 100 and the microphone 114 and the speaker 116 connected to the codec 112 are voice input / output blocks used for phone calls and voice recording. . The codec 112 converts the PCM data provided from the controller 100 into an analog voice signal and transmits the same through the speaker 116 and converts the voice signal received through the microphone 114 into PCM data. Provided to the controller 100.

In addition, the RF unit (Radio Frequency unit) (120) is the frequency of the radio frequency signal received via the antenna 118 is provided to the baseband processing unit 122 by lowering the frequency, the baseband signal from the baseband processing unit 122 The frequency is raised and transmitted through the antenna 118. The baseband processor 122 processes a baseband signal transmitted and received between the RF unit 120 and the controller 100. For example, in case of transmission, channel coding and spreading of data to be transmitted are performed, and in case of reception, despreading and channel decoding of a received signal are performed. .

2 illustrates a procedure for storing the contents of a connection failure call notification short message in a phone book in a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, first, the controller 100 checks whether a short message is received in step 201. If the short message is not detected, the control unit 100 performs a corresponding mode (eg, standby mode) in step 227. If the short message is detected, the control unit 100 stores the short message in a text box in step 203 and checks the type of the short message. The short message may generally include a message exchanged between individuals and individuals, a broadcast message, and a connection failure call notification short message (called a catch call message) according to the present invention, and the control unit 100 may call back a short message. Determine the type of short message from the call back number or header.

After confirming the type of the short message, the control unit 100 checks whether the received short message is a catch call message including call information in the disabled state in step 205. If it is not the catch call message, the controller 100 proceeds to step 229 and performs a general short message receiving process. If the \ catch call message, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 207 to parse the content of the short message.

The control unit 100 extracts the caller number from the content of the short message in step 209 and searches for a phone book with the caller number in step 211. In step 213, the controller 100 checks whether the caller ID exists in the phone book. If the caller number is present in the phone book, the controller 100 displays the content of the short message on the display window in step 231 and then proceeds to step 219. At this time, the caller's number and the date on which the caller attempted the call are displayed on the display. Meanwhile, according to the present invention, the storage request message is also displayed.

If the caller ID exists in the phonebook, the controller 100 proceeds to step 215 to reconstruct the content of the short message. The short message is reconstructed by including the name retrieved from the phone book. In step 217, the controller 100 displays the contents of the reconstructed short message on a display window, and then proceeds to step 219. At this time, the searched name, the caller number and the date on which the caller attempted to call are displayed on the display window. Meanwhile, according to the present invention, a storage request message is also displayed. For example, it is displayed as shown in Table 1 below.

As described above, in the state of displaying the content of the short message, the controller 100 determines whether storage is selected according to a user's operation in step 219. If the storage is not selected, the controller 100 ends the present algorithm. If the storage is selected, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 221 to parse the contents of the displayed short message to extract the caller number (including the caller name) and the date. In step 223, the control unit 100 reconstructs the content of the short message according to a storage format of a call history (eg, MISSED CALL LIST). In step 225, the controller 100 stores the contents of the reconstructed short message in the call history and ends the present algorithm.

The above-mentioned catch call message receiving process may be silent. In this case, the user can check the call information in the missed state in the MISSED CALL LIST of the phone book.

Meanwhile, in the detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be determined not only by the scope of the following claims, but also by those equivalent to the scope of the claims.

As described above, the present invention has the advantage that all information about the missed call received through the catch call service can be confirmed in the call history. As such, even call information can be checked in the call history when the call is not available (eg, the power-off state).

On the other hand, since the information on the connection failure call notified by the catch call service is reconstructed and displayed by matching with a phone book, in other words, the caller's name is retrieved and displayed in the phone book. You can see right away.
