1 is a block diagram showing the structure of a mobile communication terminal equipped with a voice recognition caller display function according to the present invention.

The mobile communication terminal having a voice recognition caller display function according to the present invention includes a communication module 10 in which a voice signal of a call counterpart is received, a microphone 20 in which a voice of the other party is directly input, and voice data and caller information. A memory 30 for storing phonebook data, a display display 40 for outputting caller information, and caller information for storing voice data in the memory or for inputting voice data according to an operation mode. It is configured to include a microcomputer 50 to be output to.

The communication module 10 is a means for collecting voice data when wirelessly receiving a voice of the other party (sender) during a phone call, and the microphone 20 is a means for directly collecting voice data from the voice of the other party. to be.

In general, the microphone is a means for receiving a voice of a caller who makes a call, but in the present invention, the microphone is used to register the telephone book data in the memory with the caller's voice in advance.

The memory 30 is a place where the phone book data is stored. In the present invention, the memory 30 serves as a database for confirming the caller's information, so that the caller's name, phone number, picture, voice data, and the like may be stored. In particular, in the present invention, the name and voice data are essential elements for confirming caller information.

In addition, the memory 30 may be used as a place for temporarily recording the voice of the other party, and in some cases, an auxiliary memory may be provided inside the voice recording unit or outside the microcomputer, and may be used as a temporary storage place during voice recording. have. In the phone book menu of the mobile communication terminal of the present invention, the other party's name, phone number, picture or avatar, and voice information extracted from the recorded party's voice may be stored.

The microcomputer 50 includes a voice recording unit 51 for recording the voice input from the voice input unit and temporarily storing the voice in the memory, and unique voice data distinguished from others such as a frequency band and a tone in the temporarily stored voice. The voice data extraction unit 52 to extract, the voice search unit 53 to search / compare the voice data extracted from the voice data extraction unit and the voice data stored in the memory, and the extracted voice data to the memory. And a control unit 54 which searches or compares voice data stored in the memory or pre-stored in the memory.

In addition, the control unit 54 stores the voice data extracted by the voice data extraction unit 52 together with caller information when the operation mode of the terminal is the recording mode, and when the operation mode is the search mode, the voice search. The caller information of the corresponding voice data is output to the display display unit 40 according to the search / comparison result of the unit 53.

3 illustrates an embodiment in which caller information is displayed in a terminal of the present invention.

Looking at the operation of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

The mobile communication terminal equipped with the voice recognition caller display function according to the present invention operates in two operation modes. One is a recording mode that collects voice data of a specific person and makes a database in the built-in memory, and the other is a search mode for searching and comparing the stored voice data with voice data of the current caller and outputting caller information. Such an operation mode may allow a user to be selected at the start of a call by manual key operation or automatically by a built-in program stored in the mobile communication terminal.

The recording mode is an operation mode in which the voice of the other party is recorded during a call and stored in the memory as the phonebook data together with the caller information. In this case, the communication module 10 and the microphone 20 are used, and when the telephone call is started to record the voice wirelessly, the communication module 10 is used and the microphone 20 when the voice of the other party is directly input. Is used. The voice signal / voice inputted to the communication module 10 or the microphone 20 is recorded by the voice recording unit 51 and again distinguished from others such as frequency bands and tones in the voice data extracting unit 52. The voice data is extracted and stored in the memory 30 by the controller 54.

According to the present invention, the user of the mobile communication terminal must store the voice data of the other party in the memory of the mobile communication terminal in advance so that the caller can be identified when a call is received from the other party. Therefore, there are two general examples of a method of storing the voice data of the other party in its mobile communication terminal.

In the first method, the voice of the other party can be randomly stored during the call with the other party through the communication module. According to the internal program stored in the mobile communication terminal during the call, it operates in the recording mode and presses the set key to record and store the voice of a specific part of the other party's voice. Can be stored. In this case, it is good to save the same word for easy voice comparison. If you want to record the voice, such as [hello], the voice can be automatically recorded for a certain time (for example, about 10 seconds) at the beginning of the call. When anyone makes a phone call, the first thing to say is that the word "hello" is unconscious, so that the same data can be collected.

Another method is to store the voice of the other party together with the caller information in the field directly through the microphone. This method does not record the other party's voice during the call, but directly records the caller's information in the phonebook data when possible in the same place as the user to be used as the caller information, and records the other party's voice in the mobile communication terminal. It is a method of receiving and saving through.

Meanwhile, the second operation mode of the microcomputer 50 is a search mode, which will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

First, a voice signal is received by the communication module 10 (S1).

 The voice recording unit records and temporarily stores the memory in the memory (S2) and extracts the unique voice data from the voice data extraction unit (S3). At this time, the control unit causes the voice search unit to search / compare the voice data of the phonebook data previously stored in the memory with the extracted voice data to detect the same voice data (S4).

When the same voice data is detected according to the search result, the control unit reads the corresponding caller information of the matching voice data from the memory and displays the same on the display display unit (S5, S6). Through this, the mobile terminal user can check who the caller is through an anonymous caller's voice.

If the same voice data as the caller's voice data cannot be found in the memory, the controller outputs a message indicating that there is no corresponding caller information to the display display unit (S5, S7).

As described above with reference to the drawings illustrated with respect to the mobile communication terminal and a method of operation of the voice recognition caller display function of the present invention, the present invention is not limited by the embodiments and drawings disclosed herein, The technical idea of the present invention can be applied within the scope of protection.

The mobile communication terminal equipped with the voice recognition caller display function and its operation method according to the present invention configured as described above are used by the microcomputer of the terminal through the voice recognition even when the receiver does not apply for the caller display service without a subscription of a special paid service. Since the caller information is searched and displayed, the cost burden is reduced.

In addition, even if the other party restricts the display of the caller information or displays an unregistered phone number, the caller information is displayed by comparing the voice data of the telephone connected party with the voice data registered in the memory, so that the information of the other party can be quickly identified. It works.
