BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile station (MS), and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for more efficiently inputting a plurality of recipient telephone numbers for multiple transmission of user data in a mobile terminal.

In general, with the development of wireless communication technology, the spread of mobile terminals is increasing exponentially, and as the spread of mobile terminals is generalized, communication providers provide various services to satisfy various needs of subscribers. In other words, mobile communication service providers currently provide various services such as wireless Internet, short message service (SMS) and multimedia services such as image, video, and video, as well as calls without regard to space and time. To provide.

The mobile terminal, in addition to the basic function of making a call with a general subscriber or another mobile subscriber through a base station (BS) while arbitrarily moving in a mobile communication service area, manages personal information, exchanges information with a computer, and the Internet. It has additional functions such as performing the same data connection. Recently, mobile terminals having improved performances have emerged differently each day, such as transmission and reception of images and videos, implementation of virtual 3D sound and stereo sound, MP3 player functions, and a built-in camera capable of taking pictures.

In addition, according to the function, it may be classified into a terminal device having an Internet function, a terminal device for transmitting a text, a terminal device having a video function, a terminal device for checking a user's health, and a terminal device having a game function. In addition, digital multimedia services such as digital TV or video on demand (VOD) are being provided. In addition, the mobile terminal is currently providing not only a game using only text but also game functions that implement 3D and a messenger function.

On the other hand, until recently, the mobile terminal has undergone many changes and developments in form and function. For example, in the form, it ranges from a bar type terminal to a flip type, a folder type, a dual folder type, and a slide type terminal. Its functions range from simply telephoning and receiving to games, video on demand, electronic dictionaries and MP3 players.

In addition, with the rapid spread of mobile terminals, the population of text service users is increasing rapidly. The text service refers to a service that enables mobile terminal users to send and receive text messages between a sender and a receiver by creating a text message using a short or long sentence without additional equipment. The text service includes a short message service (hereinafter referred to as SMS) or a multimedia messaging service (hereinafter referred to as "MMS"). This text service is currently recognized as one of the important communication means, because unlike the e-mail can be delivered at the same time as the contents.

The text service basically provides a function of transmitting a reply number and a message between mobile terminals, that is, between a sender and a receiver, and provides information such as weather forecast, news, stock information, electronic payment, and electronic commerce through text messages. In addition, various user data, for example, an image file such as a photo, a music file and a video file, etc. may be provided together through a text message according to a user's selection.

In addition, since the text service is provided with information interactively for the convenience of the user, the user hierarchy is diverse in that anyone can use it easily, and when the contents to be delivered are simple or when a voice call is not possible, the text service is provided rather than a voice call. Because it is much more convenient to use and can save money, the range of its use and utilization is gradually increasing.

On the other hand, the mobile terminal has not progressed in the apparatus and method for inputting a text message even in the various changes in form and function as described above. For example, when a predetermined text message is transmitted to a plurality of counterparts using the text service, a plurality of recipient telephone numbers are input and transmitted through multiple transmission.

However, in the conventional mobile terminal, it is inconvenient to input a plurality of telephone numbers for multiple transmission through a plurality of repetitive procedures using a predetermined direction key formed in the mobile terminal for multiple transmission through a text service. In addition, as described above, as the number of requests for using the multi-transmission function increases, that is, as the number of the recipient's phone number to be transmitted is input, the user repeats a complicated number of operations such as entering a phone number and key manipulation. It has to be inconvenience and hassle.

Therefore, in using a text service using a mobile terminal, there is a need for a new method of inputting a plurality of recipient phone numbers for multiple transmission. That is, there is a need for a method that can provide convenience for inputting a plurality of recipient phone numbers.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a user interface related to user data transmission that can improve user convenience in a mobile terminal.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that in the following description, only parts necessary for understanding the operation according to the present invention will be described, and descriptions of other parts will be omitted so as not to distract from the gist of the present invention.

Prior to the description of the present invention, the terms or words used in the specification and claims described below should not be construed as being limited to the ordinary or dictionary meanings, the inventors in their best way For the purpose of explanation, it should be interpreted as meaning and concept corresponding to the technical idea of the present invention on the basis of the principle that it can be appropriately defined as the concept of term. Therefore, the embodiments described in the present specification and the configuration shown in the drawings are only one of the most preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not represent all of the technical idea of the present invention. It should be understood that there may be equivalents and variations.

The present invention relates to a user interface for user convenience in a mobile station (MS). In particular, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a multi-recipient phone number input device and method that enables the user to input and edit a plurality of recipient phone numbers more easily and efficiently when multi-transmitting user data to a plurality of recipients.

For example, in order to input receiver information, that is, receiver telephone number, while creating a text message of the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal typically moves to a dedicated screen for inputting the receiver telephone number. In addition, even if the recipient information is directly entered in the text message creation screen, for entering multiple recipient phone numbers, a function such as a line break is performed in an expandable text input field or a single line text input field. At least each recipient within the Input Field must be identified by the user.

However, this method does not allow fast recipient phone number input as line breaks, that is, input field changes or delimiter input for distinguishing recipients, must be performed through a predetermined function key input such as an option menu or symbol input. There is also a lot of inconvenience.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when a user inputs a plurality of recipient information on a text message creation screen using a text service, for example, a user automatically generates and displays a predetermined separator for distinguishing between recipients, and moves between the separators. It is possible to input a plurality of recipient phone numbers more conveniently by moving the cursor, thereby increasing the convenience and efficiency in multi-transmitting a predetermined text message to a plurality of recipients.

On the other hand, in the above and hereinafter described for the convenience of the description of the mobile terminal as a mobile communication terminal, the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention is a terminal for providing convenience to a user, preferably, a mobile communication terminal, a mobile phone, a wired / wireless phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart phone. All information communication and multimedia devices such as smart phones, IMT-2000 (International Mobile Telecommunication 2000) terminals, Universal Mobile Telecommunication Service (UMTS) terminals, and Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) terminals, It will be apparent that it can also be applied to applications.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention for performing the functions of the present invention as described above will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a diagram schematically illustrating a concept of inputting multiple receiver information according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 schematically illustrates an example of a user interface for inputting a plurality of receiver information for multi-transmitting user data, for example, a text message, according to an embodiment of the present invention. That is, the user interface according to the embodiment of the present invention may include at least one text input field (eg, a receiver information input field 110 and a text message input field 130) for inputting a large number of recipient information; A predetermined soft key 150, for example, <Options> and <Exit>, which are mapped to a keypad for moving between the fields 110 and 130 or setting a function, may be included.

The user interface makes it easier for a user to distinguish between recipients when inputting a plurality of recipient phone numbers on a text message composition screen, and to intuitively perform a movement of a cursor. That is, when the receiver information input field 110 is activated for multiple transmission, and at least one predetermined information, for example, a numeric key input, is input through the keypad in the activated receiver information input field 110, a predetermined delimiter ( 101) For example, a semicolon (;) is automatically generated and displayed, and if the cursor is moved to the right of the delimiter 101 of the last receiver, the next receiver telephone number can be input.

In addition, since there is no space in the telephone number input, in the embodiment of the present invention, when a space is input by the user, a separator is automatically generated and output, and the next receiver telephone number can be input.

In FIG. 1, the receiver information input field 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in the form of a multi-line, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Of course, various types of input fields may be formed, such as a multi-line form of at least two lines such as a line or a three-line form, and a variable form in which an input field size is variable in correspondence to input receiver information.

First, in the single line text input field in the form of a single line, number edit, movement of the cursor, and receiver selection are all performed by the operation of the left and right arrow keys. At this time, if the cursor is outside the delimiter range of the receiver telephone number currently being input, the mobile terminal processes the receiver telephone number as a completed telephone number. Thus, since the cursor is not positioned between the individual numbers for the input completed phone number, the user can perform the entire movement and editing of the completed one recipient phone number instead of the individual number modification in the recipient phone number. This makes it possible to quickly move the cursor for each recipient phone number.

Next, in the multi-line text input field of the multi-line type, phone number editing, cursor movement, and recipient selection are performed by the operation of up, down, left, and right arrow keys. In this case, the up and down arrow keys perform a cursor movement operation between the receiver's telephone number input from the user, and the left and right arrow keys perform an operation of modifying each individual number within the editable receiver's phone number. Further, in the multi-line text input field, the movement between the receiver phone numbers is made by the up and down arrow keys. Therefore, even when the cursor is out of the range of the receiver telephone number separator currently being input, the receiver telephone number can be edited.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the receiver information input field 110 is preferably displayed separately according to whether the receiver telephone number input is completed. For example, in the case of a recipient telephone number that has been input as shown in <David>, for example, it is treated as blue text, and the receiver telephone number currently being input or editable as shown in <4412334453>. In the case of, for example, it can be displayed by processing as black text (black text).

The blue text indicates an input completed recipient telephone number, and in particular, the form of <David> is used to retrieve the input completed recipient telephone number through receiver information stored in a memory of a mobile terminal, for example, a phone book search. In the case where there is matching information, in order to facilitate identification of the user, the recipient's telephone number is converted into the corresponding information, for example, the recipient's name (hereinafter referred to as 'Contact Name'). The case is shown. This will be referred to as an input recipient phone number.

Therefore, in the case of the blue text as described above, it is preferable to perform the movement or editing between the input recipient telephone number, rather than moving or editing for each character.

In addition, the blue text may be displayed by maintaining the type of the input telephone number even if the receiver telephone number is not present in the telephone directory even if the input is a complete recipient telephone number. In this case, when the receiver information input field is used in a multi-line form according to an embodiment of the present invention, in the case of the blue text in which the input is completed in the form of a telephone number as described above, the cursor may be moved or edited between individual characters. When moving to any position within the phone number, it is preferable to convert the currently displayed blue text into black text for display.

Also, when the user converts the contact name into the contact name while the user converts the contact name, the position of the cursor is changed. Therefore, in order to prevent confusion, the receiver information input field 110 focuses on the contact point. For example, when the receiver information input field 110 is deactivated or the position of the cursor is outside the delimiter range of the receiver's telephone number, it is preferable to set the time. In this case, the input is not completed when the telephone number of the receiver can be modified regardless of whether the cursor is included or not. That is, it is preferable to prevent the movement of the cursor into the recipient telephone number or contact name for which input is completed.

The black text indicates a receiver phone number in which input is not completed. In particular, the black text may be used to move a cursor between each number or to edit respective numbers, for example, to delete or add a character at which the cursor is located. Can be. Therefore, the black text is converted into the blue text when the input is completed, for example, when the cursor is out of the range of the recipient telephone number separator or when the receiver information input field 110 is deactivated, and the recipient information is converted into the phone book. It may be displayed by maintaining a contact name or telephone number form depending on whether or not there is a.

3 is a diagram schematically illustrating a concept of a plurality of receiver information input methods according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, first, when an additional function for transmitting user data, for example, a text message is requested by a user, a screen as indicated by reference numeral 301 is displayed. In this case, in the initial text message providing screen, that is, the reference numeral 301, the receiver information input field may be displayed as hidden without being displayed according to a user setting. Accordingly, the text message input field is initially activated and displayed on the screen 301.

Next, when the user inputs a predetermined function key mapped with a text input field switching function, for example, an up arrow key, for inputting the recipient's telephone number, the mobile terminal displays the receiver information input field on the screen as indicated by reference numeral 303. Mark and activate it to wait for the recipient's phone number to be entered. In this case, when the receiver information input field is activated, the receiver telephone number input is first generated. Therefore, the predetermined information message set in the system, for example, 'receiving number' is displayed to guide the receiver information input field. desirable.

For example, when a user scrolls up using a direction key in a text message input field, as shown at 303, the user inputs a recipient information input field where a recipient telephone number can be entered and activates it. To provide. In addition, when a predetermined function key, for example, a down arrow key is input from the user while the receiver information input field is activated and displayed as shown by reference numeral 303, the corresponding operation is performed. For example, when the downward direction key is mapped to a 'back' function, that is, a function of switching to a text message input field in the embodiment of the present invention, the receiver information input is indicated as indicated by reference numeral 305. Field and a text message input field are simultaneously displayed, and the text message input field is activated and displayed.

Next, in the state in which the receiver information input field is activated as in step 303, when a predetermined key input is generated from the user, for example, when an input of a number is generated using a numeric keypad, as shown in step 307. Corresponding numbers corresponding to the key input are displayed on the receiver information input field, and a predetermined delimiter, for example, a semicolon (;), is provided after the last input number to distinguish the receiver.

In addition, when a predetermined function key, for example, a <Cancel> or <CLR> key mapped to an input character deletion function is input, while inputting predetermined recipient information as shown by reference numeral 307, the corresponding numbers are inputted. Delete accordingly. In this case, when the function key is pressed for a predetermined time or longer, an initial guide message for requesting input of a reception number as indicated by reference numeral 303 and a message such as <reception number> is displayed.

Next, when the predetermined receiver telephone number input is completed through the receiver information input field in step 307 and a predetermined direction key for switching the text input field is input, the text message input field is indicated as indicated by reference numeral 309.

Correspondingly, as shown in step 407, the position of the cursor is displayed by moving to the right corresponding to the direction key input. In this case, the cursor is preferably positioned after a predetermined space, for example, a blanking process after the separator.

Next, after the cursor is moved, when the next recipient's telephone number input is generated from the user, as shown in steps 409 to 411, the corresponding number / character mapped to the receiver's telephone number input from the user corresponding to the key input. Etc. are adaptively displayed according to the key input sequence. At this time, when the first key input occurs according to the next receiver phone number input, a second delimiter for distinguishing the next receiver phone number is displayed together with the key input.

Next, when the input of the second recipient's telephone number is completed and conversion to the text message input field is requested as in step 411, the text message input field is activated and displayed as shown in step 413. In this case, as shown in step 411, when the request for switching from the receiver information input field to the text message input field is requested, the mobile terminal assigns each of the receiver phone numbers entered above to a predetermined data storage unit, for example, a phone book. Search to see if there is stored recipient information corresponding to the information. As a result, if there is a matching recipient information, the inputted recipient telephone number is converted into the stored recipient information, for example, a contact name, and displayed.

For example, as shown in step 411, when the recipient information corresponding to the phone numbers <123456> and <277788> input from the user is searched in the phone book, and the corresponding receiver information is stored in the phone book, The extracted <123456> and <277788> are converted and displayed as the contact names <David> and <Heather curry>, respectively.

Next, when switching from the text message input field back to the receiver information input field is requested as in step 413, the mobile terminal activates the receiver information input field as shown in step 415, and the position of the cursor. Is displayed after the delimiter of the contact name corresponding to the last entered receiver's telephone number, that is, <Heather curry>. That is, as shown in step 413, the screen for switching to the receiver information input field displays the converted contact name instead of the receiver telephone number previously input, and places the cursor after the delimiter of the last contact name.

Accordingly, when the inputted recipient phone number or contact names are out of the receiver information input field screen, the screen is shifted to the left to correspond to the displayed recipient phone number or contact names. That is, it is preferable to display the last recipient information and the separator on the screen so that the screen can be moved to display the next, that is, the third recipient telephone number.

6 is a diagram schematically illustrating an operation of deleting receiver information in a single line text input field according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, when an additional function for transmitting user data, for example, a text message is requested by a user, an additional function execution screen for inputting a text message is provided in response to the request.

Subsequently, after the user completes inputting a predetermined text message through the text message input field of the execution screen, or requests to input a recipient's telephone number during text message input, that is, from the text message input field to the recipient information input field. When the switch request is made, as shown in step 601, the receiver information input field is activated and displayed.

Next, when a predetermined key input is generated from the user through the receiver information input field activated in step 601, the corresponding number / letter mapped to the key input is keyed, as shown in step 603. Adaptive display according to the input order. At the same time as the corresponding number / character display, a predetermined separator, for example, a semicolon (;) for distinguishing a recipient telephone number is displayed after the input number / character. At this time, the position of the cursor is shifted backward in correspondence to the key input and waits for input of the next information.

For example, when the user continuously inputs the numeric button 123 through the keypad in the receiver information input field, in response thereto, the guidance message initially displayed in the receiver information input field, that is, the <receipt number> message is automatically deleted. '123' is displayed corresponding to the key input. At this time, as shown in step 605, when the delete request of the input number / character, for example, a user presses a key such as a delete function key such as <Cancel> or <CLR> through the keypad, the cursor is responded in response to the request. For example, the last number entered before is deleted, for example, the last input 3 is deleted and '3' is deleted.

In addition, if a key input such as <Cancel> or <CLR> is repeatedly generated in the screen shown in step 605 as shown in step 607, the cursor is positioned in step 605 in response thereto. The preceding number, for example, 2 is deleted and '2' is displayed.

As described above, if a key input such as <Cancel> or <CLR> occurs repeatedly on the screen shown in step 607 as shown in step 609, the cursor is positioned in step 607 in response thereto. Deletes the number immediately preceding, for example, 1. In this case, in step 609, all of the receiver phone numbers inputted above are deleted, and as shown in step 601, an initial guide message, that is, a 'receive number' is displayed.

Next, when a predetermined key input for moving the cursor is input from the user in step 603, for example, a right direction key is input, as shown in step 611, the cursor is moved out of the delimiter range according to the key input. do. That is, in step 603, when the user moves the position of the cursor to complete the input of the receiver's telephone number, the mobile terminal determines that the receiver's telephone number input is completed when the cursor is out of the range of the separator of the predetermined receiver's telephone number. .

Therefore, when the user inputs the first recipient's telephone number as in step 611, and the first recipient's telephone number is completed and the right arrow key is input for the next recipient's telephone number, the reference numeral 611 correspondingly. As shown, the cursor position is moved to the right to correspond to the direction key input. In this case, the cursor is preferably positioned after a predetermined space, for example, a blanking process after the separator.

Next, after the cursor is moved, when the next recipient's telephone number input is generated from the user, as shown in step 613, the corresponding number / character, etc. mapped to the receiver's telephone number inputted from the user corresponding to the key input is inputted. Adaptive display according to. At this time, when a first key input occurs according to the next receiver telephone number input, a second delimiter for distinguishing a next receiver along with the key input is displayed.

For example, as shown in step 613, when the user inputs the numeric button 4 through the keypad in the receiver information input field, '4' and a second separator are generated and displayed according to the key input. At this time, as shown in step 615, when the user deletes the input number / character, for example, when a user presses a key such as <Cancel> or <CLR> through the keypad, immediately before the cursor is located in response. For example, the last input 4 is deleted, and the second delimiter (;), which is displayed for the next receiver identification, is also automatically deleted.

In addition, if a key input such as <Cancel> or <CLR> occurs repeatedly on the screen shown in step 615 as shown in step 617, the cursor is located in step 615 in response thereto. Delete the previous number. In this case, in step 617, the first recipient's telephone number input is completed, and the cursor is out of the delimiter of the first recipient's telephone number. Therefore, instead of deleting individual numbers of the receiver telephone number for which the input is completed, one receiver telephone number is deleted. At this time, in step 617, since all the input recipient phone numbers are deleted, an initial guide message, that is, a 'receive number' is displayed.

In summary, FIG. 6 illustrates an example of deleting a receiver telephone number in a text input field having a single line form according to an embodiment of the present invention. That is, in the single line text input field, number edit, cursor movement and recipient selection are all made by the operation of the left and right arrow keys. At this time, if the cursor is outside the delimiter range of the receiver telephone number currently being input, the mobile terminal processes the receiver telephone number as a completed telephone number.

Thus, since the cursor is not positioned between the individual numbers for the input completed phone number, the user can perform the entire movement and editing of the completed one recipient phone number instead of the individual number modification in the recipient phone number. This makes it possible to quickly move the cursor for each recipient phone number.

7 is a diagram schematically illustrating an operation of deleting receiver information in a multi-line text input field according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, when an additional function for transmitting user data, for example, a text message is requested by the user, an additional function execution screen for inputting a text message is provided in response to the request.

Subsequently, after the user completes a predetermined text message input through the text message input field of the execution screen, or requests to input a recipient's telephone number during text message input, that is, from the text message input field to the receiver information input field. When the switch request is made, as shown in step 701, the receiver information input field is activated and displayed.

Next, when a predetermined key input is generated from the user through the receiver information input field activated in step 701, the corresponding number / letter mapped to the key input is keyed, as shown in step 703. Adaptive display according to the input order. At the same time as the corresponding number / character display, a predetermined separator, for example, a semicolon (;) for distinguishing a recipient telephone number is displayed after the input number / character. At this time, the position of the cursor is shifted backward in correspondence to the key input and waits for input of the next information.

For example, when the user continuously inputs the numeric button 123 through the keypad in the receiver information input field, in response thereto, the guidance message initially displayed in the receiver information input field, that is, the <receipt number> message is automatically deleted. '123' is displayed corresponding to the key input. At this time, as indicated by the reference numeral 705, when the delete request of the input number / character, for example, a user presses a key such as a delete function key such as <Cancel> or <CLR> through the keypad, in response to the cursor For example, the last number entered before is deleted, for example, the last input 3 is deleted and '3' is deleted.

In addition, if a key input such as <Cancel> or <CLR> occurs repeatedly on the screen shown in step 705 as shown in step 707, the cursor is located in step 705 in response. The previous digit, e.g., 2 is deleted, and 2 represents the deleted '1'.

As described above, if a key input such as <Cancel> or <CLR> occurs repeatedly on the screen shown in step 707 as shown in step 709, the cursor is displayed in step 707 in step 707. Delete the number immediately preceding it, eg 1. In this case, in step 709, all of the receiver phone numbers inputted above are deleted, and as shown in step 701, an initial guide message, that is, a 'receive number' is displayed.

Next, when a predetermined key input for moving the cursor is input from the user in step 703, for example, a right direction key is input, as shown in step 711, the cursor is moved out of the delimiter range according to the key input. do. That is, in step 703, when the user moves the position of the cursor to complete the input of the predetermined receiver telephone number, the mobile terminal determines that the receiver telephone number input is completed when the cursor is out of the range of the delimiter of the predetermined receiver telephone number. .

Accordingly, when the user inputs the first recipient's phone number as described in step 711 and the first recipient's phone number is input and inputs a right arrow key for inputting the next recipient's phone number, the user enters the reference numeral 711 accordingly. As shown, the receiver information input field is extended, and the position of the cursor is displayed by moving to the first column of the expanded next line corresponding to the direction key input.

In addition, if a key input such as <Cancel> or <CLR> occurs from the user while the cursor is moved to the next line for input of the next receiver phone number as in step 711, the reference code 703 The expanded receiver information input field is reduced again in step 1, and the cursor is positioned at a predetermined position of the receiver telephone number of the first line, for example, the last individual number of the first receiver telephone number.

In addition, if a predetermined movement function key, for example, an up arrow key, is inputted to move the cursor in step 711, the expanded input field is reduced as shown in step 717, and the first entered recipient's telephone number is changed. The cursor is moved to a predetermined position and displayed.

Next, when the next receiver telephone number input is generated from the user after moving the cursor, the receiver telephone number input from the user is mapped to the extended second input line corresponding to the key input as shown in step 713. The numbers / characters etc. are displayed adaptively in the order of key input. At this time, when a first key input occurs according to the next receiver telephone number input, a second delimiter for distinguishing a next receiver along with the key input is displayed.

For example, as shown in step 713, when the user inputs the numeric button 4 through the keypad in the receiver information input field, '4' and a second separator are generated and displayed according to the key input. In this case, as shown in step 715, when a predetermined function key for moving the cursor, for example, an up arrow key is input, the cursor is moved and displayed at a predetermined position of the first recipient's telephone number input in the first line.

In summary, FIG. 7 illustrates an example of deleting a receiver phone number in a multi-line text input field according to an embodiment of the present invention. That is, in the multi-line text input field, telephone number editing, cursor movement, and recipient selection are performed by the operation of up, down, left, and right arrow keys. In this case, the up and down arrow keys perform a cursor movement operation between the receiver's telephone number input from the user, and the left and right arrow keys perform an operation of modifying each individual number within the editable receiver's phone number. Further, in the multi-line text input field, the movement between the receiver phone numbers is made by the up and down arrow keys. Therefore, even when the cursor is out of the range of the receiver telephone number separator currently being input, the receiver telephone number can be edited.

8 is a diagram schematically illustrating a cursor movement operation in a single line text input field according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, first, as shown in step 801, a plurality of recipient telephone numbers input from a user are displayed in a single line recipient information input field. At this time, the position of the cursor is located at the end of the individual number of the receiver telephone number to be input last.

In this case, when a predetermined direction key for moving the cursor, for example, a left direction key, is input from the user, the cursor is sequentially moved to the left by one space as shown in steps 803 to 807 corresponding to the key input. To display. In addition, as shown in steps 807 to 801, when a predetermined direction key for moving the cursor is input from the user, for example, a right direction key, the cursor is sequentially moved to the right by one space in the reverse order in response to the key input. To display.

At this time, the recipient phone number, for example, <David> and <Heather>, which are represented by the contact name in FIG. 8, has recipient information stored in a predetermined phone book of the recipient phone number input by the user, and is converted into a contact name. A recipient telephone number represented by a number, for example, <1234567> indicates a case in which there is no receiver information stored in a predetermined phone book in a receiver telephone number input by a user.

In addition, the receiver telephone number represented by a number, for example, <445> represents the receiver telephone number currently being input by the user, and the cursor position is within the delimiter range of the receiver telephone number <445> as in steps 801 to 807. In this case, it is possible to individually move and edit the recipient phone number.

On the other hand, in the case of the recipient telephone numbers of <David>, <1234567>, and <Heather>, since the cursor is out of the range of the separator of the receiver telephone number and the input of the receiver telephone number is completed, the receiver telephone numbers within the respective receiver telephone numbers It is not possible to move or edit individually, and it is possible to delete each recipient phone number itself or to move between each recipient phone number itself.

That is, in the state where the cursor is located at the first digit <4> in the last recipient's telephone number through the procedure described in the last recipient's telephone number <445> in step 807, the left direction key from the user as shown in step 809. When is input, the position of the cursor is moved to the left and displayed accordingly. In this case, as shown in step 809, the recipient's telephone number of <Heather> is the recipient's telephone number whose input is completed. Instead, the entire recipient's telephone number <Heather> is moved instead of the individual movement in the <Heather>. The location will be displayed.

In the case of the receiver phone number for which the input is completed as described above or when the cursor moves out of the separator of the telephone number being input, the individual number of the receiver phone number is not modified or moved, but modified or moved by the receiver phone number itself. The cursor position will be displayed.

Accordingly, as shown in steps 809 to 813 through the above procedure, the receiver phone number for which the cursor has been sequentially processed in correspondence with the user's left direction key input, for example, left between <David>, <1234567> and <Heather>. The move can be performed. In addition, as shown in steps 815 to 821, the user moves the cursor to the receiver phone number, for example, <David>, <1234567>, and <Heather>, in which the cursor is sequentially completed in the reverse order. Can be done.

In this case, as shown in steps 819 to 821, in the case of the recipient phone number <445>, the receiver of the <445> as the cursor position is out of the separator range of the <445> in steps 807 to 809. The phone number is converted to complete. Therefore, in step 819 to step 821, the receiver phone number is completed, and thus the entire movement and editing is performed instead of individual movement in the receiver phone number.

9 is a diagram schematically illustrating a cursor movement operation in a multi-line text input field according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 9, as shown in step 901, a plurality of recipient telephone numbers input from a user are displayed in a multi-line recipient information input field. At this time, the position of the cursor is located at the end of the individual number of the receiver telephone number last inputted in the last text input line.

In the above case, when a predetermined direction key for moving the cursor is input from the user, for example, a left direction key, the cursor is sequentially moved to the left by one space as shown in steps 903 to 909 corresponding to the key input. To display. In addition, as shown in steps 909 to 901, when a predetermined direction key for moving the cursor is input from the user, for example, a right direction key, the cursor is sequentially moved to the right by one space in the reverse order in response to the key input. Display.

At this time, the recipient phone number, for example, <David> and <Heather>, represented by the contact name in FIG. 9, has recipient information stored in a predetermined phone book, and the recipient phone number input by the user is converted into a contact name. A recipient telephone number represented by a number, for example, <1234567> indicates a case in which there is no receiver information stored in a predetermined phone book in a receiver telephone number input by a user.

In addition, the receiver telephone number represented by a number, for example, <445> represents the receiver telephone number currently being input by the user, and as in steps 901 to 909, the position of the cursor is within the delimiter range of the receiver telephone number <445>. In this case, it is possible to individually move and edit the recipient phone number.

In addition, since the receiver phone number of <1234567> indicates numerical information that is not completed when the input is completed or converted into a contact name, in the multi-line text input field, the cursor moves to the <as the contact is made by the up and down arrow keys. 1234567> indicates that the individual number can be moved or edited even if it is outside the separator of the receiver's telephone number.

On the other hand, in the case of the recipient telephone numbers of <David> and <Heather>, since the cursor is out of the range of the separator of the receiver telephone number and the input of the receiver telephone number is completed, individual movement or editing within each receiver telephone number is performed. Is not possible and the deletion of each recipient calling number itself or the movement between each recipient telephone number itself can be performed.

Next, as shown in step 911, when a cursor is present at a predetermined position, a predetermined function key mapped to input a space or a separator for inputting a new recipient's telephone number from the user is generated. Expands the text input field at the current cursor position to create and display new lines and separators for entering new recipient information.

Next, when a predetermined direction key, for example, a left direction key is input from the user in a state where the cursor is positioned as in step 909, the cursor is moved to the left as shown in step 913. At this time, in step 913, the input is completed and the recipient's phone is not a separate move in the <David> as it is a movement of the contact name converted into a contact name, that is, <David> through the recipient information stored in the phone book. The cursor is displayed by moving the whole number.

In addition, when the left direction key is input from the user while the cursor is positioned as in step 913, the cursor is moved to the upper line and displayed as shown in step 917. In addition, as shown in steps 917 to 909, the cursor is sequentially displayed in the reverse order according to the user's key input, for example, in response to the right direction key input. At this time, when moving from step 917 to step 913, the cursor is moved to the bottom line and displayed according to the input of the right direction key.

Next, when a space or a predetermined function key for inputting a separator is generated from the user in a state where the cursor is present at a predetermined position in step 913 or step 917, the current cursor as shown in step 915 is correspondingly generated. In the location, the text input field is expanded to create and display new lines and separators for entering new recipient information.

Next, in the state where the cursor is located as shown in step 917, the cursor is sequentially shifted left by one space, as shown in steps 919 to 921, corresponding to the user's key input, for example, in response to a left direction key input. Move to display. In addition, as shown in steps 921 to 917, the cursor is sequentially moved to the right by one space in the reverse order in order to correspond to the user's key input, for example, to the right direction key input.

In this case, in step 917 to step 921, the receiver's telephone number, that is, <1234567> is an example of a case in which the receiver information stored in the phone book does not exist and is not converted into a contact name and is kept in a numeric form. In the case of a form, even if the input is a complete recipient phone number, in the case of a numeric form, individual movement and editing is possible within the receiver's phone number.

Next, as shown in step 923 or 927, if a predetermined direction key, for example, an up-down direction key is input from the user in a state where the cursor is present at a predetermined position in step 919 or 921, the cursor is moved up or down correspondingly. Move, that is, move between lines. At this time, when moving between lines of the cursor, it is preferable to move the cursor corresponding to previously located information.

Next, when the cursor is in a predetermined position, for example, in step 921, when a space or a predetermined function key for inputting a new separator is input from the user, for example, a space or separator function key for inputting a new recipient's telephone number. In response to the above, as shown in step 925, the text input field is expanded at the current cursor position to generate and display a new line and a separator for inputting new receiver information. In this case, in step 921, the position of the cursor is located at a predetermined position in the receiver's telephone number, for example, in front of '67' at <1234556>, and the receiver number <1234567> is editable. 'To move to a new line and display it with a separator.

FIG. 10 is a diagram schematically illustrating an operation of inserting receiver information in a single line text input field according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 10, first, at least one recipient phone number input from a user is displayed in a single line recipient information input field as shown in step 1001. At this time, the position of the cursor is located at the end of the individual number of the receiver telephone number to be input last.

In the above case, when a predetermined direction key for moving the cursor, for example, a left direction key, is input from the user, the cursor is sequentially moved to the left by one space as indicated in step 1003 in response to the key input. .

In this case, the recipient phone number displayed as the contact name in FIG. 10, for example, <Heather> represents a case where the recipient phone number input by the user is stored in a predetermined phone book and converted to the contact name. In this case, the recipient telephone number represented by a number, for example, <2224444> indicates a case in which the receiver telephone number input by the user does not have receiver information stored in a predetermined phone book.

In addition, the recipient telephone number <2224444> represents the receiver telephone number currently being input by the user. In steps 1001 to 1003, the position of the cursor is within the delimiter range of the receiver telephone number <2224444>, and thus, the receiver of the <2224444>. Indicates the status of individual movement and editing of the telephone number.

Next, as in step 1003, the cursor is located at a predetermined position, for example, the first column of the second recipient's telephone number, <2224444>. When a numeric key is input, the mobile terminal sequentially displays and provides the corresponding numeral, for example, <8888> corresponding to the key input.

In this case, the receiver telephone number <8888> input in step 1003 is included in the delimiter of the receiver telephone number <2224444> which was previously input, and the receiver telephone number <2224444> is currently editable. The newly input <8888> and the previously input <2224444> are displayed as <88882224444> in the form of one recipient phone number. Therefore, as in step 1005, while the cursor is within the last delimiter, individual number movement and editing of the changed recipient phone number < 88882224444 > is possible.

Next, in the state where the cursor is located between the newly input <8888> and the previously input <2224444> as in step 1005, when a space for a separator input or a predetermined function key input occurs from the user, When a space or delimiter function key is inputted to register the newly input <8888> as a new recipient's telephone number, the mobile terminal correspondingly displays a new delimiter after the <8888> at the current cursor position as shown in step 1007. Create and display

In this case, in the case of the newly input <8888>, since the position of the cursor is outside the range of the separator of the <8888>, the <8888> is treated as being completed. In the case of the previously input <2224444>, since the position of the cursor is within the delimiter range of the <2224444>, the <2224444> indicates a state capable of moving or editing between individual numbers.

Next, in a state where the cursor is moved to the right of the delimiter of the input completed as in step 1007, when the user inputs a left direction key to move the cursor, as shown in step 1009 in response thereto. The cursor is located between the <8888> and the previously input recipient telephone number, that is, the separator of <Heather>, through the entire movement of the recipient telephone number, rather than the movement between the individual numbers of the <8888>. In this case, the <2224444> in the editable state as in step 1007 is out of the delimiter range of the <2224444> as the cursor is moved, so that the <2224444> is converted into the input recipient phone number. .

Therefore, when the user inputs the right direction key to move the cursor in step 1009, as shown in steps 1011 to 1013, instead of moving between individual numbers of the recipient phone number, the entire recipient phone number, for example, <8888> and < 2224444> Move the cursor to mark the position of the cursor.

FIG. 11 is a diagram schematically illustrating an operation of inserting receiver information in a multi-line text input field according to an embodiment of the present invention.

At this time, the recipient phone numbers, such as <David> and <Heather>, indicated as the contact names in FIG. 11, have the recipient information stored in the predetermined phone book, and the recipient phone numbers entered by the user are converted into contact names. A recipient telephone number represented by a number, for example, <1234567> indicates a case in which there is no receiver information stored in a predetermined phone book in a receiver telephone number input by a user. In addition, the recipient telephone number displayed as a number, for example, indicates a recipient telephone number currently being input by the user.

Next, in a state where the cursor is located at a predetermined position, for example, the first space of the last recipient's telephone number, as in step 1107, the user inputs a predetermined number through the keypad to input a new recipient's telephone number. When a key is input, the mobile terminal sequentially displays and provides a corresponding number, for example, <2222> as shown in step 1109 in response to the key input.

In this case, the receiver telephone number <2222> input in step 1109 is included in the delimiter of the receiver telephone number <445> previously input, and the receiver telephone number <445> is currently editable. The newly input <2222> and the previously input <445> are displayed as <2222445> in the form of one recipient phone number.

Next, when the cursor is positioned between the newly input <2222> and the previously input <445> as in step 1109, if a space or a predetermined function key input for a separator input from the user occurs, If a space or separator function key is inputted to register the newly input <2222> as a new recipient's telephone number, the mobile terminal correspondingly expands the line at the current cursor position as shown in step 1111. Delimiter for> is generated and displayed, and <445> moves to the next line and displays the corresponding delimiter.
