The present invention relates to a method of creating a text message of a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a method of creating a text message of a mobile communication terminal, which provides a message transmission function using a boilerplate more quickly and conveniently.

Short message service is a communication that delivers a message in the form of a limited sized text (short text) between a mobile communication terminal and a mobile communication terminal period or between a mobile communication terminal and a short message entity (SME). Say service.

Originally, the text message service was first proposed by the European Telecommunication Standard Institute (ETSI) by defining a point-to-point service that can transmit and receive up to 155 bytes of characters between incoming and outgoing terminals for use in European digital cellular communication systems. It became.

Characteristic of the text message service is that it is possible to deliver text messages in the form of database characters using access channels and paging channels, which are control channels as well as traffic channels.

SMSC (Short Message Service Center) can be used in both GSM (Group Special Mobile) and IS-41C network connection. SMSC is an independent node with its own SPC (Signalling Point Code) in SS7 (Signalling System 7) network, and is connected to Home Location Register (HLR) and Mobile Service Center (MSC). It has a function of determining the location of the receiver and delivering a text message to mobile subscribers via PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network).

The SMSC can transmit and receive numbers and letters in both directions between various text delivery systems (PC communication system, internet server system, mobile phone, etc.) and subscribers using a mobile communication network. Of course, the mobile subscriber can also send a text message through a mobile communication terminal (usually a mobile phone). The length of the text message that can be sent depends on the environment in which the SMSC is used. Up to 160 characters can be sent in GSM and 200 characters / 100 characters in IS-41C.

In addition, the patent application related to the text message service in the 'text message transmission method in the mobile phone' of the application No. 10-2000-0071219 in the phone, broadcast messages and other services provided during the message to send a message in the mobile phone The present invention discloses a method of transmitting a text message in a mobile phone so that a message can be transmitted by applying a function of automatically storing the message being created so as not to be deleted.

In addition, in the text message transmission method of the mobile communication terminal of the application number 10-2001-0000884, when the user sends a reply text message to the received text message (reply function), the receiver's phone number stored in the mobile communication terminal is separately set. Disclosed is a text message transmission method for replying a text message using a phone number included in a received text message without having to memorize or memo.

Recently, while the text message service function of the mobile phone function is gradually increasing, the reply function for sending a reply message to the received text message is frequently used.

In order to create a new text message in the text message function, selecting a recipient to send a message on the "recent call list" of Figure 1a or "phone book" of Figure 1b and then run the Option Menu The corresponding option menu is displayed as shown.

Entering the "message transmission" command in the option menu of the "recent call list" or "phone book" immediately switches to the text message transmission function.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 2A, the phone number of the receiver selected by the user is automatically input. When the user inputs a confirmation command, the content input screen of FIG. 2B is displayed to create a text message.

In addition, in the content input screen for creating a new message of FIG. 2B, a symbol, a special character, and a boilerplate may be input through an option menu.

On the other hand, in order to compose a reply message for the received message, execute the option menu on the view screen of the "received message list" of Figure 3a or "message content" of Figure 3b, and then select the 'reply' command from the option menu.

When the 'Reply' command is selected in the " received message list " or " message content ", the telephone number of the corresponding message is automatically entered as the received telephone number of the reply as shown in FIG. 4A.

Thereafter, when the user inputs a confirmation command, the content input screen of FIG. 4B is displayed to compose a reply message.

Similarly, in the content input screen for composing the reply of FIG. 4B, a symbol, a special character, and a boilerplate can be input through an option menu.

Here, the current function of the AutoText is stored in a number of frequently used message content, and in the edit state for creating a new message or reply, select any one of the AutoText list in the option menu and enter it as the message content.

That is, the user writes a new message or reply using the boilerplate text on the menu without writing the message content.

However, the AutoText function has a problem that its accessibility is very poor because the AutoText can be selected only in an edit state for creating a new message or a reply message.

Due to the nature of the reply, it is necessary to confirm information on the counterpart to which the reply is to be sent, but it is not desirable to increase the actual operation level to allow access to the boilerplate list only in the edit state.

In addition, despite checking information on the other party in the recent call list or the received message list, the boilerplate function was provided only in the edit state, and the message was not directly transmitted using the boilerplate.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for creating a text message of a mobile communication terminal, which makes it easier to use a boilerplate function in a text message service.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a text message writing method of a mobile communication terminal that implements an easier and faster AutoText reply function.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises the steps of selecting a specific target in the telephone number list or the received message list and inputting a boilerplate command; Displaying a list of previously stored boilerplate text according to the boilerplate command; In addition, if any one of the boilerplate list is selected, the method of writing a text message of the mobile communication terminal is provided.

Here, the step of selecting a specific destination from the telephone number list or the received message list and inputting a boilerplate command is a step of inputting a hot key corresponding to the 'commercial tool transmission command' while selecting a specific destination to transmit a message. It is characterized by that.

In addition, after selecting a specific destination from a phone number list or an incoming message list, inputting an AutoText transfer command may include displaying an option menu including a 'Transfer Word' command when the option menu is selected while a specific destination is selected to send a message. And selecting a 'send commercial article' command from the option menu.

In addition, the step of selecting a specific target from the telephone number list or the received message list and inputting an AutoText transfer command may include displaying the entire contents of the corresponding message when the specific target is selected from the received message list, and displaying the entire contents of the message. When the option menu is selected, the user may further include displaying an option menu including a 'reply to the phrase' command and selecting a 'reply to the phrase' command from the option menu.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily access the boilerplate function directly from the telephone number list or the received message list instead of the message editing environment, and thus it is possible to transmit text messages using the boilerplate more easily and quickly.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention that can specifically realize the above object will be described.

5 to 7, a text message writing method of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention will be described.

The present invention provides a boilerplate function by storing a plurality of phrases frequently used in the terminal.

The message transmission function using the boilerplate is menu-configured to allow direct access to the boilerplate function in a message list such as a recent call or a phone book or a message list or a message view screen.

That is, it includes a command such as 'send commercial phrases' or 'reply commercial phrases' in an option menu of a phone number list or a message list.

In addition to using the menu function, a hot key corresponding to the AutoText transmission command is additionally configured in the key panel of the terminal, and when the hotkey is input while the phone number list or the message list is displayed, access to the AutoText function is disabled. You can make it possible.

When the message function is executed by accessing the message function in the normal standby state, the reception message list is displayed in order according to the reception time (S30).

When a specific message is selected from the displayed received message list, a reply telephone number, a reception date, and a time of the message are displayed together with the entire contents of the message (S31).

In addition, when a text message is received in the standby state, a screen for displaying the entire contents of the message is provided like the screen of S31.

When the 'menu' is selected while the entire contents of the message are displayed as described above, an option menu corresponding to the message function is displayed (S32).

At this time, the option menu of the message function includes a reply function for the reply phone number of the selected message, and includes a 'reply to the phrase' command for transmitting the boilerplate text along with a 'reply' command for transmitting a new message.

Thereafter, when the user selects the 'commercial phrase reply' command through the option menu, a list of previously stored multiple boilerplate words is displayed (S33).

When the user selects a boilerplate word to be transmitted from the boilerplate list, a character string corresponding to the selected boilerplate text is automatically input and displayed on the message input screen (S34).

On the other hand, after selecting a specific message in the received message list (S30) and enters a hotkey corresponding to the boilerplate transmission command is switched to the boilerplate reply function and the screen S33 is displayed.

In addition, when a hot key corresponding to the boilerplate transmission command is input in the view screen S31 in which the entire contents of the message are displayed, the screen of S33 is similarly displayed by switching to the boilerplate reply function.

The screens S13, S23, and S34, in which the text of the boilerplate selected by the user is input as the message content, provide an editing environment in which text can be added and modified before executing the message transmission.

In the present invention, after completing the message using the boilerplate, if the 'transfer' command is input, the boilerplate message is transmitted from the user to the selected phone number.

Here, when accessing the boilerplate function, the display screen for checking and correcting the reply number (sender's telephone number) and the reception number (sender's telephone number) is omitted.

That is, when accessing the message transmission function using the boilerplate from the latest call list (S10), the phone book list (S20), the received message list (S30), or the message viewing screen (S31), the step of changing the information of the other party to send the message to Omit the process of selecting / inputting boilerplate immediately.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a user interface capable of directly accessing an AutoText function by using an option menu on a phone number list or a message list or a message view screen or by using a hotkey.
