The present invention relates to a short text editing method of a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a short text editing method of a mobile communication terminal capable of editing texts and sentences frequently used when creating a short text using a mobile communication terminal.

The mobile communication terminal, which is a necessity for modern people, is not only compact and lightweight due to steady development, but also is emerging as a complex communication terminal having various functions such as mp3, camera and navigation. In addition to the above functions, such a mobile terminal has a voice mail service (called a voice mail service) that allows a sender to leave a message in a recipient's voice mailbox or a fax mailbox when the receiver cannot answer a call. Voice Activated Dialing Service, a mobile communication terminal screen that allows you to make a voice call without having to dial a phone number. You can receive numbers and text messages (about 40 ~ 50 letters in English, about 80 letters in English) or various life information as texts. If you use the voice mail service, you will be notified by mobile phone when a message arrives at the voice mail. Various features and services, including support for Short Message Service (SMS) It provides. In particular, the short message service is one of the most used functions in the mobile communication terminal because it is relatively easy to use and can be usefully used in a situation where a telephone call cannot be made.

Meanwhile, in order to use the short message service, the mobile communication terminal is provided with a character writing program for receiving a predetermined character string from the user. The user uses a function key of the mobile communication terminal and a number / character key to select a character. And numbers can be entered, the character is composed of Hangul, alphabet and special symbols.

However, the conventional character writing program has a problem that is quite cumbersome when the user repeatedly inputs a character that the user wants to input repeatedly.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, when the user inputs the first letter of the letter, a word list starting with the first letter is popped up, so that the user can select a desired word from the pop-up list. .

However, the text input method using a pop-up has a disadvantage in that a word list pops up even in a situation where the user does not want it, and thus a large amount of word storage space is required because the word list pops up automatically. In addition, most users do not use spacing because they have to write within a predetermined size (for example, 40 characters) when writing a short sentence, but there is inconvenience of having to use spacing for the registration of frequently used words.

As described above, according to the conventional character input method using the first letter of the word, when only the first letter of the word is input, the word list starting with the first letter is popped up, which makes it convenient to write letters, while a large amount of character storage space is provided. You need to use spaces to register frequently used words, and even pop up when you don't want them. There was a problem that only words were saved and popped up.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, when creating a short text using a short text writing program of the mobile communication terminal, frequently used characters can be recalled with a small number of key operations at a desired time point, as well as words It is also possible to save and recall sentences, and save only the necessary characters or sentences, saving storage space, and providing a short text editing method of a mobile communication terminal that does not require spacing for the registration of frequently used words. have.
