Here, the shortcut key according to the service telephone number can be changed according to the user's selection by the user's setting. In addition, the data memory temporarily stores data generated during the execution of the programs.

The controller 10 performs a function of controlling the overall operation of the portable terminal. In addition, the controller 10 may include the data processor 23. In addition, the control unit 10 receives the current time information of the country and region of the base station through the network of the base station to automatically set the current time. In addition, the control unit 10 receives a unique network code of the network through the network between the base station according to an embodiment of the present invention, and reads the service telephone number according to the received network code and the network code previously stored in the memory 29 Controls the overall operation of automatically setting the service phone number. In addition, the control unit 10 controls to automatically set a shortcut according to the service telephone number as well as automatically set to the service telephone number according to an embodiment of the present invention. In addition, when the shortcut list set as the shortcut key is requested, the control unit 80 displays it on the display unit 80.

The display unit 80 displays messages generated during program execution under the control of the controller 10. In addition, the display unit 80 displays the current time information and the status of the portable terminal through a network between base stations under the control of the controller 10. In addition, the display unit 80 displays the shortcut key list under the control of the controller 10 when the user requests a shortcut list set to the service phone number according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The display unit 80 may use an LCD. In this case, the display unit 80 may include an LCD controller, a memory capable of storing image data, and an LCD display device. In this case, when the LCD is implemented in a touch screen manner, the keypad 27 and the LCD may be input units.

Looking at the operation of the portable terminal with reference to FIG. 1, when the user performs a dialing operation through the keypad 27 and sets the calling mode, the control unit 10 detects this and dial information received through the data processor 23. After processing the RF signal through the RF unit 21 to output. Thereafter, when the other subscriber generates the response signal, the counter subscriber detects it through the RF unit 21 and the data processor 23. Thereafter, a user establishes a voice call path through the audio processor 25 to perform a communication function. In addition, in the incoming mode, the controller 10 detects the incoming mode through the data processor 23 and generates a ring signal through the audio processor 25. Thereafter, when the user responds, the controller 10 detects this, and a voice call path is formed through the audio processor 25 to perform a communication function.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for automatically setting a service phone number of a portable terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, in step 211, when the power is turned on by the manipulation of the keypad 27, the controller 10 starts a network with the base station closest to the portable terminal.

Then, in step 213, the controller 10 receives a network code through a network with a base station, and then proceeds to step 215 to determine whether the received network code is a network code that is databased in the memory 29.

As a result of the determination, if the code is in the database, in step 217, the controller 10 reads the service call number and emergency number information corresponding to the code in the database from the memory 29 and sets the service telephone number. At this time, the controller 10 also receives the current time information from the base station and displays the current time on the display unit 80 using the current time information. The service call number may be, for example, a telephone number of a service center of a manufacturer of a portable terminal, a telephone number of a mobile communication provider side, or a telephone number of an automobile service center closest to an area in which a portable terminal is located.

Here, the process of setting the service telephone number will be described in detail below.

First, the base station transmits 6 bytes of information called location area identification (LAI) to the portable terminal. In step 213, the portable terminal receives the LAI information. In this case, the 6-byte LAI information includes MMC (Mobile Country Code) of the country code, MNC (Mobile Network Code) of the network code. Here, the information of the MCC and MNC consists of three bytes, and the MMC and MNC are based on a PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network) code list. Then, the controller 10 extracts 3 bytes of MCCMNC information from the 6 bytes of the received LAI, reads from the memory 29 stored in the database, and sets a service telephone number through the information of the MCCMNC. Therefore, it can be seen that the information of the MCCMNC is a network code.

In operation 219, the controller 10 sets shortcut keys corresponding to the set service call number and emergency number, respectively. In this case, the shortcut key may be set automatically based on the control of the controller 10, or may be set according to the user's desire to set a shortcut key instead of automatic setting by the user's selection. Preferably, in the embodiment of the present invention, the shortcut key is automatically set under the control of the controller 10.

If a hot key is automatically set under the control of the controller 10, a key button other than the hot key set by the user may be set as a hot key so that a user can try to make a call through a simple key input of the phonebook stored in the memory 29. do.

For example, except for key buttons frequently used, such as numeric keys, among key buttons provided on the keypad 27 such as '*' button and '#' button, key keys that are not frequently used are set as shortcut keys. At this time, the controller 10 should be able to determine the function of the key button uniquely owned by the key button set as the shortcut and the shortcut function corresponding to the key button.

Thus, when attempting a call with a shortcut key set as a shortcut key of a service phone number according to an embodiment of the present invention, an input is attempted differently than when using the '*' button and the '#' button.

For example, when the '*' button and the '#' button are input shortly and longly, or vice versa, the controller 10 recognizes this and attempts to call the corresponding phone number of the service phone number through a shortcut key. Done. Then, the user can cope with the situation by calling a service telephone number automatically set in the portable terminal through the network between the base stations in an emergency situation.

When the mobile terminal automatically moves to the other country and region of the service phone number automatically set through the above-described process, a service phone number different from the set service phone number is set through steps 221 to 229. .

That is, in step 221, the controller 10 continuously receives a network code through a network with a base station closest to the portable terminal.

In step 223, the controller 10 determines whether the received network code is a different code from the previously received and set network code, and proceeds to step 225 if it is a different code from the set network code. However, if it is the same code as the set network code, the process returns to step 221 and repeats the above process while maintaining the service telephone number and the hot key set in the portable terminal through the process.

In step 225, the controller 10 determines whether the network code received in step 221 is a code stored in a database in the memory 29.

As a result of the determination, if the network code is in the database, in step 227, the controller 10 reads the service call number and emergency number information corresponding to the network code in the database from the memory 29 and resets the service telephone number. Thus, the service telephone number set in the portable terminal is updated with the service telephone number of the country and region moved through the base station of the previous country and region.

In step 229, the controller 10 sets a shortcut key corresponding to the service call number and emergency number information set as the service phone number in step 227, respectively. In this case, the shortcut key is automatically set under the control of the controller 10. In this case, as in step 219, the shortcut key may be set according to the user's desire to set the shortcut key instead of the automatic setting by the user's selection.

Accordingly, the method for automatically setting a service telephone number of a mobile terminal according to the present invention provides a service phone number of a corresponding country and region through a network code received through a network between a mobile terminal and a base station of the country and region when the country and region move. Call numbers, emergency numbers, etc. are automatically set. Thereafter, the user starts a call to the desired service telephone number by referring to the shortcut list for the service telephone number set as the shortcut key.

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 defined not only by the scope of the following claims, but also by the equivalents of the claims.

As described in detail above, in the present invention, a portable terminal which a user always carries is automatically configured to receive a network code from a network and automatically set the service telephone number corresponding to a network code of each country stored in the portable terminal. Since the user does not need to enter the service telephone number every time the user moves the country, there is an effect of increasing the convenience of the user.

In addition, by automatically setting the service telephone number and at the same time by automatically setting a hotkey corresponding to the service telephone number, the user can operate the hotkey even in an emergency, thereby reducing time and attempting to call the service phone number quickly. It has the effect of making it possible.
