The present invention relates to a short message service (SMS) method in a mobile phone, and in particular, the type and importance of a message according to a request of a short message sender, by dividing it into an icon, a ringtone, or a voice without directly checking the message by opening the inbox. The present invention relates to a method for confirming receipt of a short message of a mobile phone, which can easily confirm receipt.

Recently, the number of users who send and receive information through the short message service (SMS) of the mobile phone is increasing. This is not only cheaper than the voice call as disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2003-0027533, and is widely used as a substitute for simply making a voice call because it is guaranteed in real time. In addition, conventionally, when a short message is received by a mobile phone, the caller is displayed on the display unit of the mobile phone as disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2004-0061246 regardless of the type and importance of the message. When receiving the SMS as shown in the example of Figure 2 (201), the reception state is indicated by the caller ID and a predetermined reception tone or icon (203, 205) it can be seen that the message has been received. However, the expression method only informs whether the message is received, and the type and importance of the message cannot be known in advance without opening the inbox and directly checking the contents of the message. That is, conventionally, when receiving a short message from a mobile phone, as shown in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2002-0087756, a message reception icon of a certain shape such as an envelope is simply displayed on the indicator at the top with a reception sound or vibration (silence). Indicates that a message has been received. Therefore, there is a problem in that the main content of the message cannot be known unless the user checks the corresponding message by opening the inbox from a constant sound and icon regardless of the type and importance of the message. For example, when the message receiver is on a phone call or when the mobile phone and the user are far apart from each other, it is possible to know whether the message is received, but this is the case since the confirmation of the message becomes cumbersome. Another conventional technique to overcome this is to show only the first part of a received message so that the contents of the message can be guessed, but this cannot be used if the distance from the mobile phone is spaced apart, and the subject of the message is reversed later. There was a problem that could affect privacy in that it could miss the main content of the whole and could be seen by others.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is that if a short message is sent by requesting a type or importance, the receiver can know the type or importance of the message immediately after reception without opening the inbox and checking the contents of the message. It is to provide a way to easily distinguish by different reception expression.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for distinguishing a short message according to a request of a short message sender of a mobile phone, when a message is received by the mobile phone, extracting words of a received message and comparing the word with the registered designated message. and,

When the words matched in the received message and the registered designated message matches the word is characterized in that it is configured to distinguish and display differently in the mobile phone according to the specified icon or ringtone and voice according to the type or importance of the message .

5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a caller request icon prepared in advance according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First of all, in order to help a full understanding of the present invention, the basic principles of the present invention will be described. In the present invention, a TTS function for converting and outputting icons and messages respectively set according to the type or importance of a message to a mobile phone is provided. Equipped. In addition, a word that can distinguish the type or importance of the message received from the user is input and registered as a word of the designated message. When the message is received in the mobile phone, the words of the received message are extracted and compared with the words of the registered designated message. When the words extracted from the received message and the words of the registered designated message match as a result of the comparison, the user may recognize them by using a designated identifier according to the type or importance of the message. Here, various methods may be used as the identifier. In the present invention described above, since the mobile phone includes icons set according to the type or importance of the message, the stored icons may be used as the identifier, or a voice bell using the TTS function may be used. However, if the user sets the message reception notification ringtone differently according to the type or importance of the message, the ring tone may be used as the identifier as well as the icon and the voice ring.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. do. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, when the short message sender requests and sends a message type or importance, the short message corresponding to the display apparatus 110 is controlled by the control unit (MPU) 100 in the mobile phone as shown in FIG. 4. The icon corresponding to the request is displayed. That is, when the short message is received through the RF module 120 and the baseband processor 122 in step 301 in the receiving mobile phone, the MPU 100 determines whether there is a word of the designated message for the caller request in the short message ( In step 303, the MPU 100 searches. The search process of the MPU 100 checks whether there is a matching message word in step 305. If there is no message specified by the determination of the MPU 100 in step 303, the MPU 100 controls the display apparatus 110 to display an icon for a general received message in step 313, and 315. Outputs the specified sound or vibration (silence) in the process. On the other hand, if there is a message specified above, the ROM 102 of the various icons on the display apparatus 110 as shown in the example of FIG. 4 is controlled by the display apparatus 110 of the MPU 100 in step 307. The icon corresponding to the type requested by the caller prepared in advance is displayed. Next, in step 309, the MPU 100 determines whether the state of the current reception setting is a voice bell or a reception sound vibration (silence), and generates a specified reception sound or vibration (silence) when the voice bell is not set. However, if the voice bell is set, the text corresponding to the designated message registered in step 311 is read and the voice bell is output to the speaker 116 by the TTS function. The MPU 100 checks in step 317 whether additional messages need to be added or modified after additionally receiving a message through the baseband processor 122, and terminates if there is no message. If modification is necessary, the recipient sees a message such as a card usage notification in step 319, and if a specific word (eg XX card) is added as a designated message word along with an existing or additional icon, the message is displayed. The function of the invention can be used. At this time, in order to prevent the abuse of spam messages using the above function, all designated message searches are protected from spam because the recipient's number is checked after registering the address number of the message in the address book on the ROM 102 in step 319. . FIG. 5 illustrates an example of the corresponding corresponding request icons according to the above-described example. For example, in case of an emergency 511, it is displayed as an example of the upper right side of FIG. 4.

As described above, in the present invention, if the sender and the receiver apply the designated message word for distinguishing each message, the message type and the importance can be distinguished according to the sender request of the short message. The advantage is that you can gauge the subject of the message without having to open it and see the message yourself.
