Abstract

A mobile terminal for displaying call records and a method thereof are provided to improve the convenience of a user by enabling the user to confirm the final call record with a specific person in the case of searching the phone book for the specific person's phone number. In case the user of a mobile terminal selects or inputs a specific person's phone number and executes a phone call with the specific person, a control part transmits and receives voice signal with the specific person's terminal through a mobile communication part. Then the control part confirms whether a key to complete the phone call is inputted(S202). If it is judged that telephone conversation with the specific person has been completed, the control part stores the final call record in the phone book of a storage part together with the specific person's phone number(S204). Afterwards, in case the user inputs arbitrary keys through a key input part and makes a request to search the phone book in order to make a call to an arbitrary person(S206), the control part reads the phone book from the storage and displays a list of phone numbers(S208). If the user selects an arbitrary name among the displayed phone number list, the control part displays the phone number matched with the selected name together with the final call record(S208).

1 is a configuration diagram schematically showing an internal configuration of a mobile terminal for displaying a call log according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention has a configuration including an input unit 110, a control unit 120, a display unit 130, a storage unit 140, and a mobile communication unit 150.

The input unit 110 inputs a search command for a phone number to be called by the user in the phone book. To this end, the input unit 110 includes a plurality of key buttons for letters, numbers, and symbols.

The controller 120 controls the mobile terminal 100 to talk to the counterpart terminal wirelessly through the mobile communication network.

In addition, when the telephone call with the counterpart terminal is terminated, the controller 120 stores the final call record including the telephone number and the date and time of the telephone call corresponding to the telephone number in the phone book of the storage 140.

Then, the control unit 120 reads the final call record including the date and time of the call from the phone book of the storage unit 140, when a search command of the phone number to call from the input unit 110 is input by the user, The display unit 130 is displayed along with the telephone number to be called.

The display unit 130 displays an operation state of the mobile terminal 100. In addition, the display unit 130 displays the phone number retrieved from the phone book and the final call record together.

The storage unit 140 stores a phone number and a final call record corresponding thereto in a phone book. Here, the final call record includes the call date and time.

The mobile communication unit 150 transmits / receives a voice signal or data wirelessly with a counterpart terminal through a mobile communication network.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of displaying a call log of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, a method of storing a call log will be described, followed by a method of displaying a call log when searching for a phone number.

The user inputs a phone number of a counterpart terminal desired to make a call through the input unit 110 or selects from a phone book stored in the storage unit 140 to execute a call.

The controller 120 of the mobile terminal 100 transmits / receives a voice signal related to a telephone call with the counterpart terminal through the mobile communication unit 150.

Subsequently, the controller 120 determines whether there is a key input for ending the call through the input unit 110 or the telephone call is terminated through the mobile communication unit 150 (S202).

If it is determined that the telephone call with the counterpart terminal is terminated, the controller 120 associates the final call record with the telephone number of the telephone call and stores the final call record in the telephone directory of the storage 140 (S204). Here, the final call record includes the date and time of the call.

For example, the control unit 120 stores the telephone number of the storage unit 140 in correspondence with the date and time, "2006/07/17 17:53", which corresponded to the telephone number "010-3955-7438". .
