The present invention relates to a method for setting up incoming calls during a call, and more particularly, to a method for stably informing a user who is on a call when there is a call from a third party during a call in a mobile wireless terminal.

In the present specification, the terminal is limited to a mobile wireless terminal, but any terminal in which a call is received may be applied. In the present specification, for the sake of consistency of description, the present invention is limited to the mobile wireless terminal.

In general, the mobile radio terminal is configured to notify the reception status by vibrating or ringing a bell or melody according to the vibration mode or the bell mode set when a call is received. When the vibration mode is set, the LED (Light Emitting Diode) installed outside the main body of the mobile wireless terminal blinks to notify the user of an incoming state.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a signal processing block for an incoming alarm of a conventional mobile wireless terminal. Referring to FIG. 1, a signal processing method for a conventional incoming alarm will be described in detail as follows.

Under the general control of the controller 100, the signal received by the antenna ANT is first applied to the signal processor 140 through the radio unit 10.

At this time, the radio unit 10 is composed of a TX / RX separator 12, a receiver 14, a transmitter 16 and a phase locked loop (PLL) unit 18, the signal received by the antenna (ANT) Is applied to the receiver 14 through the TX / RX separator 12.

Subsequently, the signal applied to the receiving unit 14 receives the signal of the PLL unit 18 and converts the signal into the baseband and is applied to the signal processing unit 140. In this case, the voice signal passes through the voice signal processing unit 150 and the speaker ( 160, the melody and the alarm are output through the buzzer 170, and the vibration is output by the user through the vibrator 180.

In this case, in general, the TX / RX separator 12 is configured as a duplex (FDD) terminal, and a switch in a TDD (time division duplex) terminal.

On the other hand, during transmission, the voice signal input to the microphone 190 is received through the signal processing unit 140, the signal of the PLL unit 18 from the transmitter 16, frequency conversion and modulation and then through the TX / RX separator 12 It is transmitted through the antenna ANT.

As shown in FIG. 1, when a voice signal is output through the speaker 160 and a melody is output through the buzzer 170, a user who expects to implement a melody having a chord with a characteristic of the buzzer 170. Does not meet the needs of Therefore, one more melody signal processor 220 is used to implement the melody chord instead of the buzzer 170. In this case, a single speaker 200 is used to reduce the volume of the mobile wireless terminal. And alarm output.

By the way, the mobile wireless terminal is equipped with only one speaker 200 when the call is received from a third party during a call to receive the call waiting signal until the answering person continues to receive the call, at this time voice signal Since the incoming call is notified to the same speaker outputted, there is a problem that the other party cannot hear the contents of the call while the call waiting signal sounds.

In order to solve this problem, the current mobile wireless terminal allows a busy user to press a call button to connect a third party who is calling and the other party who is currently calling, but this is often caused by a disconnection. Rather, if you are on a very important call now, incoming calls will be a major impediment to the call.

In addition, in the case of the caller, the user who is on the phone may be uncomfortable by stopping the call for a while due to the incoming call, and if the incoming call is ignored to prevent this, the third party may not be able to make the call well. It will also be offensive.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for setting up incoming calls in a terminal that can increase the convenience of the call when there is an incoming call in a mobile wireless terminal.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for setting up a call during a call, which can minimize discomfort to a third party who tries to make a call through the other party or the incoming call.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method for setting up a call during a call, which can easily and accurately notify a third party who attempts to make a call through an incoming call quickly and accurately.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a first determination step of determining whether a terminal is currently in a call when a signal of a call is received, and as a result of the first determination, it is determined that the terminal is not in a call. Connecting the call to the incoming call signal generated when the call is received; if the terminal determines that the call is in progress, notifying the user that there is another incoming call during the call; A selection step of selecting one of the terminations; disconnecting the current call when the end of the current call is selected in the selection step; connecting a call with the generated call reception signal; and when an incoming function is selected in the selection step, Displaying data having a plurality of sub-menus according to previously stored " incoming functions " on the display unit, and displayed on the display unit; A step of sub-selecting one of the menu, there is provided a method of forwarding a call made by a terminal sending a message corresponding to the selected sub-menu in a third party device.

In this case, the notifying may be performed to vibrate or ring a bell or melody according to a preset vibration mode or bell mode.

In addition, the notifying may include determining whether a user calls a call using a speaker or an earphone, and if it is determined that the call is a speaker, the vibrator does not output the alarm signal of the other call to the speaker. And outputting at least one of the LED alarms, and outputting at least one of the vibrator and the LED alarm with only the speaker or with the speaker if it is determined that the call is made with the earphone. desirable.

The incoming call function is a one-touch setting key. When the user presses a predetermined key button among terminal key input units, it is preferable to connect to the incoming call setting program during a call.

In addition, the plurality of sub-menus may include at least one of "in a call", "in a meeting", "call later", "watching a movie", and "in driving."

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention that can be specifically realized for the above purpose.

The configuration of the present invention is made of the same components as in the prior art shown in Figure 1, due to the feature to be solved other additional components can be easily added without great difficulty, detailed description according to the configuration is omitted.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for setting up a call during a call according to the present invention. Referring to FIG.

First, when a signal such as a call reception occurs in the standby state (S10) (S20), the controller 100 determines whether the terminal is currently in a call (S30).

As a result of the determination, in the standby state instead of the communication, the signal received by the antenna ANT is applied to the signal processing unit 140 through the wireless unit 10. The voice signal is output through the speaker 160 through the voice signal processor 150, the melody and the alarm are output through the buzzer 170, and the vibration is output by the user through the vibrator 180. In addition, during transmission, the voice signal input to the microphone 190 is received by the PLL unit 18 from the transmitter 16 via the signal processor 140, and then frequency-converted and modulated. It is transmitted through the antenna ANT. Through the internal operation of the terminal, the user performs a phone call with the other party (S90).

If a signal such as a call reception is generated again while talking to the other party through such an operation, the controller 100 first determines whether the terminal is currently in a call (S30).

In this case, due to the call signal generated earlier, the current terminal will determine that the call is in progress.

As such, when the controller 100 determines that the terminal is currently in a call, the user may vibrate or ring a bell or melody according to a preset vibration mode or a bell mode to notify the user that there is another call. (S40).

At this time, since the speaker 160 is in close contact with the ears of the user in a call, when an alarm signal is generated during a call, an alarm output through the speaker 160 may cause discomfort to the user in the call. Therefore, the controller 100 controls to output the alarm signal through the vibrator 180 instead of outputting the alarm signal to the speaker 160 when the call is in progress.

In addition, the controller 100 may not detect the user only by vibrating through the vibrator 180 as described above when the user is using the earphone instead of the speaker 160. In this case, the vibrator ( 180 may also be controlled to output the alarm signal to the speaker (160). At this time, it is possible to maintain the vibration alarm even when using the earphone by the user's preset, it is also possible to output the LED alarm at the same time.

In this way the user will be aware that another incoming call has occurred while in the current call.

Then, the user selects one of the navigation key and the end of the current call according to the incoming function according to the current call partner and the call situation.

That is, the user compares the caller with a third party who has called through an incoming call to identify a more important call, or determines whether the current call is over or cannot answer the call. One of the end of the current call is selected (S50).

At this time, the navigation key is a key newly set in the present invention can be easily set by adding to the terminal menu setting program, the detailed description according to the configuration will be omitted. In addition, the navigation key is a one-touch setting key, when the user presses any key button set in the terminal key input unit 130, the call is connected to the incoming call setting program. The navigation key may be configured in addition to the terminal key input unit. However, the navigation key may be set to any key of the key input unit, that is, the "*" and "#" keys.

In the user's determination result (S50), when the current call is terminated, the call is controlled through the wireless unit 10, the signal processor 140, the voice signal processor 150, and the speaker 160 under the control of the controller 100. In connection with the incoming signal generated during the attempt to call a third party (S90).

In addition, when the user selects the navigation key because it is difficult to terminate the current call (S50), the user has a plurality of sub-menus according to the "call function" previously stored in the memory under the control of the controller 100. It is displayed on the display unit 120 of the terminal (S60).

In one embodiment, when the user presses the navigation key button of the key input unit 130 of the terminal, as shown in Figure 3, "calling", "conference", "call later", "watching the movie", "driving" Sub menu, etc. are displayed on the display unit 120.

Then, the user selects one of the sub-menus of the "call function" displayed on the display unit 120 through the direct input through the key input unit 130 by moving the scroll bar 200 or the corresponding number 210 located at the front end. (S70).

In this case, the sub-menu displayed on the display unit 120 may be updated to various sub-menus according to a user's preset setting, and the message data may be stored in the memory unit 110.

In this way, the sub-menu selected by the user's selection is controlled by the control unit 100 and transmits the corresponding message data among the message data previously stored in the memory unit 110 through the TX / RX separator 12 through the transmitter 16 to the antenna ( ANT) through the third party's terminal (S80).

Then, the transmitted corresponding message is displayed on the display unit of the third party terminal.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified by those skilled in the art as can be seen from the appended claims, and such modifications are within the scope of the present invention.

Referring to the effect of the incoming call setting method of the terminal according to the present invention described above are as follows.

First, even if an incoming call occurs during the call, the user can easily and accurately inform the current state of the current party to a third party, while minimizing the interruption to the current call, thereby increasing the user's convenience of the call.

Second, the third party can be aware of the current situation of the other party and can plan their future actions, thereby minimizing the discomfort associated with the call is not made.
