The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, a user of a mobile communication terminal in a non-receivable state transmits an unreceived message that can select and transmit one of a plurality of commercially stored and preset messages without opening a folder. It is about a method.

Mobile communication terminals, as well as most office workers, are increasing in the range of users. In other words, the terminal of the present times has become one of the necessities to always carry. Thus, communication terminals can be used in a wide variety of situations.

When the terminal user receives a call and rings the phone while driving, the terminal user opens a flip or a folder of the mobile communication terminal and turns off the mobile communication terminal or makes a call. However, such operation during driving not only threatens safe driving, but also poses a danger of a large accident, which has recently become a social problem. In addition, the user of the current mobile communication terminal, when a call is received in an important situation in which a call is not received, such as during a conference, and the phone rings, open a flip or a folder of the mobile communication terminal and turn off the mobile communication terminal. However, while performing such an operation, a number of incoming call ringing sounds, causing inconvenience to the surroundings and embarrassing the user. In addition, in this case, the caller does not know the situation of the receiver, and attempts to send again, thereby causing a large load on the mobile communication system.                         

In a situation where you cannot answer a call, you must send your situation to the other party using a message, or to reply to the received message, enter the message function, enter the other party's number, and fill out the contents. However, in an urgent situation such as during a meeting or driving, it is not possible to input and transmit the number and content as above due to time constraints.

In order to solve this inconvenience, the proposed technique transmits a message that the base station transmits a message, 'Currently not available to call' when the receiver is turned off. In some cases, there is a service that provides a voice that says, `` You can't answer the phone right now, so please leave a message or phone number. '' This method also includes a uniform content, so there is a problem in that the caller does not know why it is impossible to receive the call, and when the call is possible, thereby reducing the convenience of the mobile communication terminal.

In order to solve the above vagueness, in recent years, some mobile communication terminals have a function of recording and guiding their own situation directly by the nurturing of the receiver, but have to face a lot of situations that are rapidly changing during the day. It is also cumbersome for modern people to repeat the process of recording and erasing by hand in every changing situation. In addition, voice recordings must be made aloud so that the recording must be done only in places other than public places that do not harm others. If you enter a place, or forget to record and store the call, you can turn off the device without any way of noticing the receiver's situation. It was only a decorative function. Therefore, it was still vague that the sender who wanted to talk again had the situation of the recipient who was most curious and when it was possible to talk again.

An object of the present invention is to provide a message transmission method that can inform the sender of the reason for not receiving.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method by which a recipient can send a message without opening a folder.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for transmitting a non-receivable message of a mobile communication terminal user, comprising: storing commercial messages indicating various situations in a predetermined storage device according to a setting of a terminal user; Waiting for an input signal of a side key for a predetermined time, with a call received or a short message received; If the side key signal is input within a predetermined time, displaying commercial messages stored in the storage device through an external display window; Reading message information selected by a user from the storage device using a side key; And transmitting the read message information to the sender.

A detailed feature of the method for transmitting a non-receivable message of a user of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention is that a step of displaying a screen asking whether to send a message before the message transmitting step may be further added.

Another detailed feature of the method for transmitting a non-receivable message of a user of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention may further include ending a call when a side key signal is input within a predetermined time when a call is received. Is the point.

According to an aspect of the present invention, an apparatus for transmitting a non-receipt message of a user of a mobile communication terminal includes a keypad for inputting various non-receipt guide messages according to a user's intention; A memory for storing information input through the keypad; A side key positioned at a side of the terminal to control transmission of a non-receipt guide message; A transmitter / receiver for transmitting or receiving voice signals and data signals; When receiving a call or a short message, the input signal of the side key is analyzed and a control signal for displaying an unreceived message stored in the memory is output, and the unreceived message selected by the user is read from the memory and the sender / receiver is read. A control unit for outputting a control signal for transmission through; Characterized in that it comprises a display unit for providing a variety of data in a form that can be recognized by the user in accordance with the control signal of the controller.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described a specific operation of the message transmission method according to the present invention.

1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a message transmission apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The configuration includes a keypad (1) for inputting a variety of non-receipt guide message according to the user's intention; A memory (5) for storing information input through said keypad (1); A side key (2) positioned at the side of the terminal for controlling transmission of the non-receipt guide message; A transmitter / receiver 7 for transmitting or receiving voice signals and data signals; Upon receipt of a call or short message, the input signal of the side key is analyzed and a control signal for displaying an unreceivable message stored in the memory is output, and the unreceived message selected by the user is read from the memory 5 and sent. A controller 4 for outputting a control signal for transmission through the receiver; And a display unit (LCD) 6 which provides various data in a form that a user can recognize according to the control signal of the controller 4.

Since the present invention transmits a non-receipt message without opening a folder, the display used in the following description means an external LCD window. In addition, in the present embodiment, the side key is used without the addition of a separate button, but a separate button may be installed on a predetermined portion of the terminal, preferably on the side, to transmit a non-receipt message.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for transmitting a non-receipt guide message by a mobile communication terminal user according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. 3 is an exemplary view showing a display form of a screen that appears in a process according to a call reception.

The terminal user writes various unreceivable guide messages according to the user's circumstances using the keypad. This data is stored in the memory 5 (S21).

When a call is received as shown in FIG. 3A (S22), if the set time has not elapsed (S25), the timer 3 is increased (S24) and waits for the input of the side key 2 ( S23).

If there is no input of the side key until the set time is exceeded, the call is terminated, and the process proceeds to the call reception processing (S27) of the missed call. That is, since the present invention is based on the premise that the user cannot talk, the call is forcibly terminated.

On the other hand, if the side key is input within the set time (S28), once the call is terminated, as shown in (b) of FIG. 3, the boilerplate message preparation screen is displayed on the display device. Thereafter, the commercial reception impossible message list previously stored in the memory is output through the display device as shown in FIG.

Next, the input side key signal is analyzed. That is, since there are various received messages, the inverted state of the received message changes as shown in FIG. In this case, when the input of the side key is made in a short time, it means scrolling up and down of the message, and when the side key is pressed for a predetermined time, it is recognized as selecting the message currently displayed in the inverted state (S30).

The selected message is then read from memory. In this case, when the voice message recorded by the user is stored, the voice data may be read together or may be a color message using various editing functions (S31).

After reading the message to be transmitted from the memory, a screen may be displayed asking whether to send the message as shown in (e) of FIG. 3, and this process may be selectively performed (S32). If there is a choice not to be transmitted by the user's remorse, the procedure is terminated, but if the transmission is desired, the selected message information is transmitted to the sender. In this case, the transmitted data may be text data including a short message or voice data (S33). During the transmission of the text, as shown in (f) of FIG. 3, the external LCD window indicates that the text message is being transmitted.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for transmitting a non-receipt guide message by a mobile communication terminal user according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention. 5 is an exemplary view illustrating a display form of a screen that appears in a process of receiving a message.

The terminal user writes various unreceivable guide messages according to the user's circumstances using the keypad. This data is stored in the memory 5 (S41). If a text message is received as shown in FIG. 5A in the call waiting state, the short message received through the external LCD window is displayed (S42).

If the set time has not elapsed (S45), the timer 3 is increased (S44) while waiting for the input of the side key 2 (S43).

If there is no side key input until the set time is exceeded, it is simply processed as a missed message. When the side key is input within the set time, as shown in (c) of FIG. 5, the commercially available message reception list previously stored in the memory is output through the external LCD device (S46).

Next, the input side key signal is analyzed. That is, since there are various received messages, the inverted state of the received message changes as shown in FIG. At this time, when the input of the side key is made in a short time, it means that the message is scrolled up and down, and when the side key is pressed for a predetermined time, it is recognized as selecting the message currently displayed in the inverted state (S47).

The selected message is then read from memory. In this case, when the voice message recorded by the user is stored, the voice data may be read together or may be a color message using various editing functions (S48).

After reading the message to be transmitted from the memory, a screen asking whether to transmit the message may be displayed as shown in (e) of FIG. 5, and this process may be selectively performed (S49). If there is a choice not to be transmitted by the user's remorse, the procedure is terminated, but if the transmission is desired, the selected message information is transmitted to the sender. In this case, the transmitted data may be text data including a short message or voice data (S50).

6 is a flowchart illustrating a method for transmitting a non-receipt guide message of a mobile communication terminal user according to another embodiment of the present invention. The method of transmitting an unacceptable message when receiving a call and receiving a text message described above may be referred to as a manual mode. The following description may be referred to as an automatic transmission method. That is, a concept of automatically transmitting a set message at a set time.

First, the terminal user stores the user's activity information (schedule) and situation-incapable reception message data input through the keypad in the memory using the keypad (S61). Thereafter, a menu function or the like is used to set whether to automatically send a commercial message. 7 is an exemplary diagram illustrating creating a reception impossible message for each time zone. As shown, the user sets and stores a non-receipt message for each time zone (S62).

When a call is received or a short message is received (S63), it is checked whether the current automatic transmission mode is set (S64). If not in the automatic transmission mode, the operation proceeds in the form of a manual mode as described above (S69).

If the automatic transmission mode is set, the current time is read from the timer (S65). After that, it is checked whether there is a message set at the current time of reading (S66). If the message exists, the user's activity information data and the set commercial message data set at the present time are read from the storage device (S67).

The read message information is transmitted to the sender (S68).

Although not shown in the flowchart, the information provided by recognizing the caller may be differentiated. That is, the information provided in the near distance may be provided more specifically and accurately.

As described above, the present invention transmits the reason for not receiving to the sender after retrieving the registered commercial message without opening the folder. Therefore, the caller can be notified exactly why the reception is impossible, and has a side effect of reducing unnecessary calls.
