The mobile communication terminal described below includes both a cellular phone, a personal communication system (PCS), a personal data assistant (PDA), and an international mobile telecommunication-2000 (IMT2000) terminal. The following description will be given with the general configuration of the above examples.

Referring to FIG. 2, a controller (MPU: Micro-Processer Unit) 200 controls the overall operation of the mobile communication terminal. For example, it performs processing and control for voice calls and data communication, and processes functions for grouping call lists according to specific conditions in addition to the usual functions according to the present invention. Therefore, in the following description, description about the process and control of the normal control part 200 is abbreviate | omitted.

The read only memory (ROM) 202 stores microcodes of programs and various reference data for processing and control of the controller 200. In particular, it stores a program for grouping call lists according to certain conditions in accordance with the present invention. A random access memory (RAM) 204 is a working memory of the controller 200 and stores temporary data generated during various program executions. Flash ROM 206 stores various updatable archiving data such as phone books, outgoing messages and incoming messages. In particular, according to the present invention stores the detailed information of the call list.

The display unit 210 may use a color liquid crystal display (LCD). In addition, the display unit 210 displays the call list grouped according to the present invention.

The codec (Coder-Decoder) 212 connected to the control unit 200 and the speaker 216 and the microphone 214 connected to the codec 212 are voice input / output blocks used for phone calls and voice recording. . The codec 212 converts the PCM data provided from the controller 200 into an analog voice signal, transmits the same through the speaker 216, and converts the voice signal received through the microphone 214 into PCM data. It provides to the control unit 200.

In addition, the RF unit 220 reduces the frequency of the radio frequency signal received through the antenna 218 to the baseband processor 222 and provides the baseband signal from the baseband processor 222. The frequency is raised and transmitted through the antenna 218. The baseband processor 222 processes a baseband signal transmitted and received between the RF unit 220 and the controller 200. For example, in case of transmission, the channel coding and spreading of data to be transmitted are performed, and in case of reception, the function of despreading and channel decoding of the received signal is performed. .

3 illustrates a procedure for grouping and displaying a call list according to a specific condition in a mobile communication terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, first, in step 301, the controller 200 determines whether a call list search menu is selected by a user's key manipulation. When the call list search menu is selected, the controller 200 proceeds to step 303 to group the call list into a designated basic group. Here, the basic group includes a date, a name, a group, a telephone number, and the like, and can be changed. For example, if the basic group is designated as the date, as shown in FIG. 5, the call list is grouped by the date and displayed from the latest record.

When the call list is grouped, the controller 200 proceeds to step 305 and displays the grouped call list on the display unit 210. Here, the grouped call list is displayed including the total outgoing call time and the total talk time, the outgoing talk time and the talk time of each group, and the reception time or the outgoing time of each call record.

In addition, by selecting each group from the grouped call list, the call list corresponding to the group may be displayed or hidden. For example, when the 7/30 (Sat) group is selected from the group of the call list grouped by date as shown in FIG. 5, the call corresponding to the 7/30 (Sat) group as shown in FIG. 6 (a) The list is not displayed. Conversely, if the 7/30 (Sat) group is selected again, the hidden call list is displayed again.

Thereafter, the controller 200 proceeds to step 307 and checks whether a search menu for each group is selected by a user's key manipulation. That is, it is checked whether a menu for searching and displaying only a specific group is selected from the displayed call list.

If the search menu for each group is selected, the control unit 200 proceeds to step 309, displays a search word input window for receiving a search word, and the control unit 200 proceeds to step 311 to search. Receive the search term for the group. Here, the search word is a name of a group. Namely, each group name of telephone number, name, group, and date becomes a search word.

When the search word is input, the controller 200 checks the input search word in step 313 to search for a group of call lists corresponding to the search word.

When the group of the call list is searched, the control unit 200 proceeds to step 315 to display the searched group list and includes the total outgoing call time and the total call time of the call list corresponding to each searched group. To display. For example, when searching with the search term "friend" as shown in FIG. 6 (b), a call list corresponding to the "friend" group is searched among all call lists, and a friend list belonging to the "friend" group is displayed. The total outgoing talk time and total talk time are displayed for each friend.

After displaying the list of subtitles in step 315, the controller 200 ends the present algorithm.

If the search menu for each group is not selected in step 307, the controller 200 proceeds to step 317 and checks whether a sort menu for each group is selected. That is, the call list grouped into the basic group is grouped into another group (eg, name, date, phone number, group) to check whether a menu for rearranging is selected. If the group sorting menu is not selected, the control unit 200 returns to step 307.

If the sorting menu for each group is selected, the controller 200 proceeds to step 319 to check whether a specific group is selected. That is, it is checked whether the call list is to be rearranged to the specific group (eg, name, date, phone number, group).

If a group to reorder the call list is selected, the controller 200 proceeds to step 321 to group the call list according to the selected specific group. In operation 323, the controller 200 displays the group list grouped into the selected specific group. For example, when reordering by name is selected as a group to reorder the call list, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), the entire call list is grouped by the name to display a group list.

Thereafter, the controller 200 ends the present algorithm.

The above description of FIG. 3 is described only for the call list, but may be equally applicable to the message list. However, instead of the total outgoing call time and total call time of each group in the grouped call list, the number of received messages of each group is displayed.

4 illustrates a procedure for changing and displaying detailed information of a call list in a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, first, the controller 200 proceeds to step 401 and checks whether a call list search menu is selected. When the call list search menu is selected, the control unit 200 proceeds to step 403 and displays the grouped call list including the reception or origination time in each call log as shown in FIG. 6 (d). . For example, as shown in FIG. 6 (d), the time " 19: 54 " at which the call with the " my house " starts a call is displayed next to the call log of " my house "

When the call list including the reception time or the origination time is displayed, the control unit 300 proceeds to step 405 and checks whether the time switch key is selected by the user's key operation. That is, it is checked whether a key for displaying a talk time is selected instead of the reception time or the origination time of each call record in the call list. Here, the time switch key is a key used to change the reception time or transmission time to the call time, or to change the communication time to the reception time or transmission time.

If the time switch key is not selected, the controller 300 returns to step 405.

On the other hand, if the time switch key is selected, the control unit 300 proceeds to step 407 to change the reception time or transmission time to the call time and display. For example, in Fig. 6 (d), the time when the call started with the "my house" and the call "my house" is changed to the time "3:10" with the call "my house" next to the call log of "my house". To display.

Thereafter, the controller 300 ends the present algorithm.
