The present invention relates to a dial of a mobile communication terminal, and more specifically, to search for a telephone number by inputting a consonant, and to perform a telephone number search function by initial entry to enable dialing for a call to the corresponding telephone number. The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal and a dialing method by initial entry of the mobile communication terminal.                         

In general, when a user wants to perform a call connection in a mobile communication terminal such as a mobile phone or a PDA equipped with a mobile communication function, the user inputs the other party's telephone number or searches for a telephone number in the telephone directory and then retrieves the telephone number. Select the desired phone number to dial.

Therefore, when making a call by directly inputting a phone number as described above, the user has to be memorized of the other party's phone number. When searching for a phone number in the phone book, the phone number search menu is entered. It is cumbersome to select a phone number with the corresponding phone number.

Accordingly, the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, in the process of dialing a telephone call using a mobile communication terminal, by outputting the phone number of the other party having the corresponding first consonant in sequence To provide a mobile communication terminal having a telephone number search function by the initial entry to perform a call connection to the corresponding telephone number when there is a selection of the output phone number and a dial method by the initial entry of the mobile communication terminal. For that purpose.

A mobile communication terminal of the present invention for achieving the above object comprises a key input unit for initial entry of the called party in the standby state; And a controller for dialing a telephone number corresponding to the initial consonant inputted by the key input unit.

The above-mentioned mobile communication terminal further includes: a display unit for displaying telephone number information; It may be configured to further include a storage unit for storing a phone book having a number of phone number information of the user.

The control unit, when the telephone number search selection command by the first entry of the key input unit is selected, switches to the initial entry mode, extracts a list of telephone numbers having the first entry from the telephone directory, and outputs the list to the display unit. If there is a user's telephone number selection, it is characterized in that it is operated to perform a call connection to the selected telephone number.

A dialing method by the initial entry of the mobile communication terminal of the present invention for achieving the above object comprises a first step of sequentially inputting the initials of the name of the party to be sent from the idle screen of the mobile communication terminal; And a second process of performing a call connection to a phone number corresponding to the initial consonant input in the first process.

The first process includes steps 1-1 to set a phone number search mode by initiality; In the search mode of the first step characterized in that the first to second steps of sequentially inputting the first name of the opponent.

In the second process, steps 2-1 of displaying a list of phone numbers of counterparts having sequential initial consonants input in the second step of the first process on a display unit, and a specific one of the phone numbers displayed in the second-1 step If the phone number is selected, characterized in that the step 2-2 to perform a call connection to the selected phone number.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings showing an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail the present invention.

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a mobile communication terminal having a telephone number search function by initial entry according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 1, the mobile communication terminal of the present invention includes a key input unit 2 for inputting initial entry and a control command of a mobile phone, a display unit 4 for displaying telephone number information, and a plurality of users. When the telephone number search selection command by the initiality of the key input unit 2 and the storage unit 3 for storing a telephone book having telephone number information is selected, the initial entry window is displayed on the display unit 4 by switching to the initial entry mode. After outputting, the phone number having the corresponding first consonant according to the input consonant is output to the display unit 4, the control unit for performing a call connection through the RF unit 6 when a specific telephone number is selected from the output phone numbers It is comprised including (1). In addition, the mobile communication terminal further includes a handset 5 for a telephone call with the other party, which is obvious in the related art, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the above-described configuration, the control unit (MSM) 1 is a modem that performs call connection control, voice and multimedia data signal processing of a mobile communication terminal.

The storage unit 3 stores user input information and software for driving the mobile communication terminal in addition to the above-mentioned phone number.

The display unit 4 is composed of an LCD window, etc., to display the driving status of the mobile communication terminal, dial information, and the like. In particular, when the telephone number search is set by the initial consonant, the initial consonant inputted through the initial input screen and the initial input screen. Outputs a phone number with the name of the other party.

Although not shown in the drawing, the permanent handset 5 includes a speaker, a microphone, and an audio signal processing means, so as to perform a voice call with the other party.

In addition, the above-described RF unit 6 performs RF signal processing such as filtering, frequency up and down conversion, etc. on the RF signal so that the voice and data signals can be transmitted and received from the outside by the RF signal.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of a dialing method by initial entry in the mobile communication terminal of FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, a user who wants to perform a dial by initial entry selects a menu function or selects a dial function by initial entry using a shortcut key (S1). If the dial function by the initial input is selected in step S1, the controller 1 outputs the initial input screen to the display unit 4 and waits for the initial input.

Thereafter, the user sequentially inputs initial information corresponding to the name of the counterpart who wishes to make a phone call (S2).

In step S2, when the initial information corresponding to the name of the counterpart is sequentially input, the control unit 1 extracts the telephone number information given the name corresponding to the initial information from the list of phone numbers stored in the storage unit 3 and then displays the display unit ( Output to 4) (S3).

After that, when the user selects a specific list from the telephone number list output in step S3 and attempts to make a call, the controller 1 performs a call connection to the corresponding telephone number so that the user can make a telephone call.

The present invention as described above allows the mobile communication terminal user to easily perform a call connection by sequentially inputting the initial names of the other party's names, thereby avoiding the inconvenience of storing the other party's phone number or searching through a menu function for the call connection. Provides the effect of eliminating

Claims (2)

A key input unit for initial entry of the called party in the standby state; And a control unit for dialing a telephone number corresponding to the consonant inputted by the key input unit. A first step of sequentially inputting the initial names of the names of the parties to be transmitted from the idle screen of the mobile communication terminal; And a second process of performing a call connection to a telephone number corresponding to the first consonant inputted in the first process.
