The present invention relates to a method for retrieving wireless data transmission and retrieval of voice calls in a mobile communication terminal. More specifically, the wireless data transmission and reception in the mobile communication terminal that the user can directly check the detailed information on the wireless data transmission and reception history as well as the recent voice reception and transmission history provided by the mobile communication terminal in the past A method of retrieving call history.

Recently, with the rapid development of electronic engineering and communication engineering, mobile communication terminals have various functions. That is, with the rapid development of wireless communication and data processing technology, people can use various functions such as wireless internet access, Mars communication and video message transmission as well as voice calls and text message services using mobile communication terminals. Due to the rapid dissemination of mobile communication terminals, mobile communication terminals have become an essential element in modern people's life, such as a large amount of communication through human communication terminals.

Conventionally, if a mobile communication terminal does not succeed in a call connection attempt until a predetermined time elapses after the call connection attempt is made, the user even knows that a call connection attempt is made to his mobile terminal. Could not. That is, the conventional mobile communication terminal did not provide any information to the user regarding the call connection attempt when the call connection attempt failed.

In order to compensate for this disadvantage, when a call connection attempt fails, the mobile communication terminal simply provides a service for informing that there has been a call connection attempt. For example, when five attempts to connect a call fail, the mobile communication terminal displays a phrase such as '5 missed calls' on the screen of the mobile communication terminal to inform the user that there have been five call failures.

However, the service that provides only the fragmentary information that there have been several call connection failures does not provide any information about the caller. Therefore, the user can know how many times the call connection attempt has not been received through the mobile communication terminal, but there is a lot of inconvenience for the caller because of the caller can not determine who the call is from.

Accordingly, in order to solve the disadvantages caused by not providing any information of the conventional mobile communication caller, a recent caller identification service (CID) has been provided. Caller ID display service is a service that displays the caller's telephone number and the time when the call is received on the called party's mobile terminal or display terminal before the call is initiated. This caller ID service is a new service of telephone network that combines switching technology, terminal technology, and transmission technology, and enables user control of calling and incoming calls, and the caller's phone number or name is before or during a call. Displayed on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen of the mobile terminal, the receiver can select the call connection.

On the other hand, outgoing and incoming details such as the telephone number of the calling telephone and the caller's information (name or alias saved by the user in the mobile terminal) related to the call connection attempt performed by the called party's mobile terminal are preset number of schedules. Until it is stored in the memory of the mobile communication terminal. Therefore, the user can search the incoming and outgoing history stored in his mobile terminal at any time through key operation, and if he selects a specific one from the details, he can check detailed information such as call date, call time, call time, etc. It can also be stored separately in the phone number memory area. In this way, the incoming and outgoing details stored temporarily in the mobile communication terminal are deleted from the memory one by one in order from the old data when the predetermined number is exceeded.

As such, recently released mobile communication terminals provide various wireless data services in addition to basic voice calls and text messages of mobile communication terminals. Accordingly, a user may connect a mobile communication terminal to a laptop to use the Internet or Increasingly, users are using various wireless Internet supplementary services provided by mobile communication terminals.

However, since the incoming and outgoing call history functions provided by the voice call are not provided for these wireless data services, there is no way for a user to know exactly when and how many times the wireless data service is used. There is a problem that it is difficult to determine whether the charge of the wireless data transmission and reception is appropriate.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a mobile communication that allows a user to directly check detailed information on a recent data transmission / reception history as well as a voice reception and transmission history provided by a mobile communication terminal.
