Description

Method for delivering contact number using SMS in communication terminal and call connecting method using it}

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting a contact using a short message (SMS) in a communication terminal and a call connection method using the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a counterpart or a desired party in a mobile communication terminal capable of transmitting and receiving a short message. The person's phone number, etc. is transmitted using 'Contact Delivery SMS', and the other party can store it or make a call immediately.

In the present invention, the 'contact forwarding SMS' is a 'contact forwarding message writing key (for example, # key, etc.)' when the caller enters a message that can be written during a call and the message (contact forwarding SMS) created during a call is called 'Can be sent to the other party', 'The phone number retrieved during the call or after the end of the call can be sent to the other party's phone or other phone number by putting the phone number found in the message (contact forwarding SMS), and the short message (SMS) ) It is a communication service identifier (TI: Telesrvice Identifier) based on the standard, so it is transmitted separately from the general short message (SMS), so when the called party presses the call key (call button) when checking the stored message (viewing message) This means that you can immediately connect to a contact stored in a message rather than a phone number. In the following, 'contact delivery SMS' should be interpreted as this concept.

A personal mobile phone generally used 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 personal mobile phones include digital mobile phones (cellular phones), personal mobile terminals (PCS phones), PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), IMT-2000 (International Mobile Telecommunication 2000), UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication Service) phones, satellites Communication phones; 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 specified 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, 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.

For example, if it is difficult to inform the other party on the call by cultivating a third party's contact information (phone number, etc.), or if you want to deliver the third party's contact information to the recent caller (callers stored in the call history) after the call ends, The message will be used.

For example, in a state where a call is established between mobile terminal users (between callers), one party (which can be a caller or called party) queries the third party's phone number to the other party (which can be called party or caller). In this case, the other party may fortunately memorize the third party's phone number, or wait for a call and then quickly search for the third party's phone number and give it to you, but if the other party is not memorizing the third party's phone number, As a non-searchable or other more obvious method, it is possible to send a third party's telephone number which is queried to one side by using SMS after the end of the call. Then, one side checks the received message and calls a third party to form a call with the third party. At this time, the other side has the trouble of memorizing a third party's phone number and writing a text message separately, and the other side has the hassle of making a call to a third party by memorizing the telephone number of the received message. .

On one side, if you search for a third-party contact in the phonebook list stored on your device, you can call or send a short message to this number (third-party phone number), In order to deliver the phone number) to the other side or to someone other than the third party, such as the user of the telephone number stored in the call arrival / departure, there is an inconvenience of having to remember and write a new short message.

On the other hand, if the other side receives a short message containing a contact information (phone number) of a third party, the call cannot be directly connected to the contact information, and the user must remember this and re-enter the number to connect the call. There is also a ship.

The inconvenience of the one side and the other side is the result of overlooking the convenience of the user that the search result of the phone number stored in the mobile communication terminal was only a receiver, which may be an object to be notified to someone.

Therefore, from one side of the view, it is convenient to deliver a third party's contact information using a short message to another person other than the third party, such as the user on the other side of the call or the telephone number stored in the caller's call history, and receive it. The other party also needs a way to increase the convenience of the user by allowing the third party to easily try to connect the call.

The present invention has been proposed to meet the above requirements, and provides a contact delivery method for more convenient delivery of a third party's telephone number, etc. to the other party or other desired party using the 'contact transfer SMS' The purpose is to provide.

In addition, the present invention has another object to provide a call connection method for allowing the other party to store it when receiving the 'contact transfer SMS', and to be able to easily connect to a third party's phone number when checking the message.

In the present invention for achieving the above object, in the contact transmission method in the communication terminal, the key input determination to determine whether or not to enter the 'contact transfer message preparation key' input from one terminal in a state in which a call is established between the originating and receiving terminals step; A message window generating step of generating a 'contact delivery SMS' message window according to the input of the 'contact delivery message preparation key'; In the 'Contact Transfer SMS' message window, a message generating step of setting a destination with a telephone number input from a terminal user and automatically setting a destination to the telephone number of the other terminal currently in a call; And a message transmission step of transmitting the generated 'contact transfer SMS' message to the phone number of the other terminal.

In the present invention for achieving the above object, in the contact transmission method in the communication terminal, the third terminal which is requested from the other side by searching the phone book from one terminal in the state that the call is established between the originating and receiving terminal or the call termination state; A phone number search step of searching for a phone number of the child; A key input determination step of determining whether or not to input 'contact delivery message creation key' at the searched third party's telephone number location; A message window generating step of generating a 'contact delivery SMS' message window according to the input of the 'contact delivery message preparation key'; A call connection state determination step of determining a current call connection state of the one terminal; According to the determination result of the call connection state determination step, when the call is in progress, in the 'Contact Transfer SMS' message window, the third party's telephone number is set as the content and the destination is automatically set to the telephone number of the other terminal currently in the call. Generating a first message; And a first message transmission step of transmitting the 'contact transfer SMS' message generated in the first message generation step to a phone number of the other terminal.

In addition, the present invention according to the determination result of the call connection state determination step, when not in a call, in the 'contact transfer SMS' message window, the third party's phone number as the content and the destination of the call of the recent call terminal A second message generating step of automatically setting a number; And a second message transmitting step of transmitting the 'contact transfer SMS' message generated in the second message generating step to a phone number of the other terminal.

In addition, the present invention according to the determination result of the call connection state determination step, when the call is not busy, in the 'contact transfer SMS' message window, the third party's phone number as the content and the destination designated by one terminal user A third message generating step of setting a phone number to be made; And a third message transmitting step of transmitting the 'contact transfer SMS' message generated in the third message generating step to a phone number of the other terminal.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a call connection method in a communication terminal, comprising: a message determining step of determining a type of a received message when a short message is received; A message storing step of recognizing that the message is a 'contact forwarding SMS' message based on a communication service identifier (TI) included in the message and distinguishing the message from the general short message according to the determination result in the message determining step; When the call key (call button) is input in the 'contact delivery SMS' message confirmation (message reading) state, the call connection step of dialing the phone number as the contents of the 'contact delivery SMS' message, characterized in that it comprises a call connection step It is done.

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 for contact transmission and call connection using a short message to which the present invention is applied, and will be described based on the configuration of a general CDMA mobile communication terminal.

The control unit 10 of the mobile communication terminal controls the overall operation of the terminal, and at the same time during the call or after the end of the call to create and transmit 'contact delivery SMS', and to control the call connection method after reception. Then, control of various components provided is achieved.

The voice memory 11 stores various voice data.

The memory 12 stores an operating program (especially, a contact transfer program, a call connection program, etc.) and a system program of the control unit 10, and the operating program or system program is usually stored in an included ROM area. Erase is possible. 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, and outputs key data to the controller 10 by external operation.

In particular, the key input unit 13 is provided with a 'contact delivery message creation key', the position of the 'contact delivery message creation key' is the existing keypad (0 ~ 9, *, #), navigation keys, function keys, side direction keys Either one can be set for the button for creating a contact transfer message or a new key can be added to the terminal.

Therefore, the control unit 10 can compose a message when a 'contact transfer message creation key' is input during a call, and at this time, a message (contact transfer SMS) composed of a third party's phone number (or additional contents may be included) is created. Control transfer to the other party. This means that when a phone number is requested from one party as a calling party, the other party knows the phone number of the third party and can immediately write a message.

In addition, the control unit 10 may create a message when the 'contact transfer message writing key' is input at the searched phone number by searching the phone book during a call (strictly during call waiting) or after the call ends. Sends a message (contact delivery SMS) of the person's telephone number as the content (or may include additional contents) to the other party (preferably the current caller when busy, or the latest caller after the call ends). . Of course, since there may be a continuous call without the time to write a message, when you create a contact transfer message after the end of the call, you can specify the called party (recipient's phone number) to receive the message instead of designating the called party as the recent caller . This means that when a phone number is requested from a calling party or a former caller, the third party can search for a third party's phone number through the phonebook and immediately create a message during or after a call.

On the other hand, when the 'contact forward SMS' is received, the called terminal can be stored in the same manner as the general short message, wherein the stored 'contact forward SMS' message is distinguished from the general message so that the user can recognize it (ie, Give a marker indicating that the 'contact forwarding SMS' message, if you press the call key (call button) when checking the stored message (message view), the control unit 10 in the message stored in the message, not the outgoing phone number (third party's phone) Dial immediately). This is possible because the 'Contact Delivery SMS' is transmitted separately from the general short message (SMS) as a communication service identifier (TI) based on the SMS standard when transmitting a message.

However, the 'short message transfer SMS' message and the general short message are not stored in a single storage area by giving a separate mark, and upon receiving the message, the general short message is stored in the general message storage area based on the communication service identifier (TI). 'Contact delivery SMS' messages can be configured to be stored in the contact message storage area so that the user can utilize them.

In summary, in a terminal equipped with a contact transfer program, when a call is established between a mobile communication terminal user (between callers) (in a call), one party (which may be a caller or a called party) receives a third party's telephone number. When inquiring to the other party (which could be called or called), the other party was fortunate to memorize the third party's phone number, or to retrieve it through a quick search in the phone book after waiting for a call because it was not memorizing or for more reliable delivery. Create a short message with (third party's phone number) the content and send the current caller as the recipient. In addition, for a more reliable delivery or not memorized, after completing the call, a short message containing the contact information (third party's phone number) searched through the search in the phone book is written, and the recent caller is automatically designated as the recipient and transmitted. Of course, it is also possible to designate any called party (caller's phone number) instead of defaulting the recent caller.

In addition, a terminal equipped with a call connection program stores the same method as a normal short message when receiving a 'contact forwarding SMS', but a separate mark (i.e., a ' Store a message indicating that it is a contact delivery SMS 'message). If the user presses the call key (call button) when checking the stored message, the user dials a contact (a third party's phone number) stored in the message instead of the outgoing phone number based on the TI. Alternatively, the general short message is stored in the general message storage area based on the communication service identifier (TI) from the reception of the message without storing the 'contact forwarded SMS' message and the general short message in a single storage area. 'Contact Forward SMS' messages are stored in the contact message storage area. If you press the call key (call button) when checking the message stored in the contact message storage area, the contact information stored in the message (third party's phone number) Dial.

On the other hand, the display unit 14 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display (LCD), and under the control of the control unit 10 to display the status of the mobile communication terminal, the progress of the program, the message window, the telephone number list and the like. That is, the overall state of the mobile communication terminal and input user information are displayed.

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 an embodiment of a contact delivery method according to the present invention.

The process of creating a 'contact forwarding SMS' according to the present invention is a process of creating a 'contact forwarding SMS' message without searching the phonebook during a call and a 'contact forwarding SMS' message by searching the phonebook during a call or ending a call. It can be divided into the process of writing.

In the middle of the above-mentioned process, when a call is established between the mobile communication terminal users (between callers) (calling), one party (which may be a caller or a called party) receives the third party's telephone number from the other party (the caller or The other party is fortunate to memorize the third party's phone number, or for a more reliable delivery or because it is not memorized. After creating a short message with a phone number), the current caller is automatically sent to the receiver.

However, after the termination of the call, after completing the call, a short message containing the contact information (a third party's phone number) searched through the search in the phone book is made, and the recent caller is automatically designated as the receiver and transmitted. Of course, it is also possible to designate any called party (caller's phone number) instead of defaulting the recent caller.

First, look at the process of creating a 'contact delivery SMS' message without searching the phone book during the call as follows. This is a case in which a message can be prepared immediately because the third party knows the telephone number of the third party when the telephone number is requested from one party as the calling party.

While a call is established between a mobile terminal user (between callers) (in a call), one party (which can be the caller or the called party) queries the third party's phone number to the other party (which can be the caller or caller). When the other party is fortunate to memorize the third party's phone number or for more reliable delivery, if you input 'Contact delivery message creation key (for example, # key)' during a call, the message composition window will pop up. Create a short message with the third party's phone number stored in the box (or may include additional content). At this time, a 'contact transfer SMS' message created by automatically designating a destination as a current caller is transmitted to the current caller.

Unlike this, the process of creating a 'contact delivery SMS' message by searching the phone book during or after a call is as shown in FIG. 2. This considers a case where a third party's telephone number can be searched through the phone book on the other side when a telephone number is requested from one party, which is the calling party or the previous caller, and a message can be created immediately during or after the call.

First, during a call (strictly waiting for a call) or after a call ends, the phone book is searched (201), and there is a desired search result (third party's phone number) (202) and it is someone (current caller or third party). When you want to send to someone other than the party (203), it is possible to write a message when entering the 'Contact delivery message creation key' at the searched phone number location, in which case a message (contact delivery SMS) containing the third party's phone number is provided. (204). In this case, the current caller may be automatically set as the receiver when the call is in progress, and the latest caller may be automatically designated as the receiver when the call is terminated (205 to 207). However, since there may be a continuous call without time to write a message, the recipient (the recipient's telephone number) to receive the message without specifying the recipient as the recent caller automatically when creating a contact forwarding message after the end of the call It can also be configured to.

Here, the contact transfer SMS message may be edited to include additional contents as well as a third party's telephone number (209).

The 'Contact Delivery SMS' message containing the third party's telephone number (or additional content may be included) may be transmitted to the designated destination in the same manner as the general short message transmission method (208, 210).

3 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a call connection method according to the present invention.

The call connection method according to the present invention can be divided into two types in the process of storing the 'contact delivery SMS' message, when receiving the 'contact delivery SMS', the method is stored in the same manner as the general short message, but is easily distinguished from the general short message. Or save the text as a separate marker, or use the short message based on the communication service identifier (TI) from the initial message reception in the general message storage area and the 'contact delivery SMS' message in the contact message storage area. Save it.

First, upon receiving the 'Contact Delivery SMS' (301), the receiving terminal classifies the general short message into the general message storage area and the 'Contact Delivery SMS' message into the contact message storage area based on the communication service identifier (TI). Save it (302).

Subsequently, when the call key (call button) is pressed when the message stored in the contact message storage area (message reading) is pressed, a call connection is attempted to a contact (a third party's phone number) stored in the message instead of the calling number (303).

On the other hand, when receiving 'Contact Forward SMS' (301), it can be stored in the same way as a normal short message, where the stored 'Contact Forward SMS' message is distinguished from the general message so that the user can recognize it (ie, ' A message indicating that it is a contact delivery SMS 'message) and stored (302).

Then, if you press the call key (call button) when checking the message stored in the message storage area (general short message and 'contact delivery SMS' message is mixed), the message stored in the message, not the calling number A call connection is attempted to a contact number (third party's phone number) (303).

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.

According to the present invention as described above, in a state where a call is established between mobile communication terminal users (between callers), one side (which may be a caller or a called party) may receive a third party's telephone number and the other party (the caller or caller may be a caller). From the perspective of one party, the third party's contact information can be conveniently used by a short message to someone other than the third party, such as the user on the other side of the call or the user of the phone number stored in the call history. In addition, the other side that has received it can also easily try to connect to a third party to increase the convenience of the user.
