Are displayed based on the node tree, or organizational lineage. In more detail, the controller 160 configures the entire phone number or name belonging to the "family" group so that the entire organization lineage is made based on "I". In order to display this tissue lineage, memory 150 needs to store information input as shown in the tissue lineage in advance. In other words, when the phone book information, that is, the specific phone number and name, is to be stored in the phone book, the controller 160 displays an organization lineage for describing specific contents including the phone number and name, and displays each lineage of each organization lineage. It supports to write contents corresponding to item. The organization lineage thus prepared is divided into respective layers to display phonebook information.

In more detail, the controller 160 displays, by referring to “I”, a person who is equivalent to the same rank or level as the person included in the node provided in the same hierarchy. That is, the controller 160 controls to display hierarchically by classifying the hierarchy when constructing the node tree. Accordingly, "I", "brother", and "type" are determined to be composed of the same class, or the same hierarchical characteristics such as rank, rank, rank, rank, and the like, and are arranged in the same hierarchical layer, for example, two layers. The "our daughter" and "son" are placed in the lower column based on the "me", and thus are arranged in a lower layer, for example, a layer, than the layer in which the "me" is currently located. In the same way, based on "me", "mother", "father", "uncle", "little father", etc. may be arranged in a layer above the layer where "me" is located, for example, three layers. have. The "grandfather" may be arranged in a layer, for example, four layers higher than the layer in which the "mother" or the "father" is located. In this manner, the user of the portable terminal 100 may input all the persons of the row that the user wants to input from the cousin Dangsuk to the family genealogy from the cousin Dangsuk. Upon input, the controller 160 may generate a separate creation window to support writing a phone number, name, nickname, anniversary, memo, and the like together.

In addition, the user of the mobile terminal 100 may additionally allocate an additional node to a specific person to describe a person who is highly related to a separate family. That is, the controller 160 controls the person around him for a particular person, for example, "our daughter" or "son", for example, "daughter friend 1", "daughter friend 2", "daughter friend 3", " Additional nodes may be additionally formed by forming additional nodes for people who need to be described, such as son friend 1, son friend 2, and the like.

Through this process, it is possible to know where the person stored in the phonebook is placed in the relationship with me, and it is possible to easily grasp the relationship, the number of villages, and the column without additional description in the name or name of a separate person.

On the other hand, the screen shown in Figure 4 is the size of the screen can be adjusted by the zoom-in and zoom-out function, when the zoom-in function is activated, as shown in the screen shown in Figure 5 instead of reducing the number of nodes of each node It can be changed to make the detailed information or the information described in the node larger. Unlike this, when the zoom-out function is activated, the controller 160 controls to display the size of each node included in the screen in the minimum size that can be identified so that the entire family lineage can be viewed based on "I". Can be. An additional description thereof will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a specific area enlarged by a zoom-in function in the screen shown in FIG. 4 of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the screen of the present invention displays an organization lineage including a person who can zoom in on “I” and become a direct family member among all the organization lineages. Here, each node is generated to include items input by the user of the mobile terminal 100. If there are no children, the items of "our daughter" and "son" included in the first layer may be deleted. In addition, when a specific person dies, a specific node may be displayed to add an due date along with a death mark, and the node may display a different color from other nodes. In the same way, the color of a specific node can be designated so that the user of the mobile terminal 100 can arbitrarily specify a color, and can be designated to be displayed as "yellow" when a disease or health is not good. In addition, a node of interest may be set to display a specific node differently from other nodes by inserting a color or an identification symbol or a pattern that is easy for a user to identify, so that the node may be easily identified when searching for phone book information. On the other hand, if the size of the node is displayed above a certain size, the controller 160 may control to display the detailed information of the node to each node. In other words, when the number of nodes displayed on the screen or the size of the nodes is greater than or equal to a certain size, the control unit 160 uses the zoom-in function to display detailed information related to the nodes inside or outside the node, for example, a phone number or an anniversary. , Aliases, etc. can be controlled. In addition, when the number of nodes is reduced or the size is increased due to an additional zoom-in function, the controller 160 may additionally describe detailed information or when a specific node is designated, the additional node information related to the node shown in FIG. Can display more. That is, the controller 160 may adjust the amount of information that can be displayed in the node in accordance with the size change of the node displayed on the screen. For the zoom in and zoom out functions, the input unit 120 may provide an input such as a touch screen, a wheel key, a direction key, etc. with a zoom in and zoom out function.

In the phonebook UI2 of the present invention, the personnel corresponding to the ranks are allocated to the first to sixth layers, respectively. That is, the display unit 140 displays the persons registered in the company group among the information stored in the phonebook by upper and lower organizational hierarchies based on "I". In such an organization genealogy, the mobile terminal user arranges the same ranks in the nodes placed between the hierarchies, and can distinguish the yearly ranks from the left to the right, thereby making it possible to identify a more clear organizational lineage. In addition, each node may move between layers according to an operation of the input unit 120, for example, dragging. The mobile terminal user may change the node by using the hierarchical movement when the position of the person located in the specific node changes. When a new node is added to a specific layer, the controller 160 may automatically change the rank of nodes located in the same layer and the rank of the newly added node. On the other hand, when a long-term shift occurs, such as when a particular person leaves the company, moves out, or leaves the training, the user of the mobile terminal designates the color of the node differently so that the status of the specific person is "company". You can quickly and easily judge using UI2. Although it is shown in FIG. 6 that the display is performed using a specific position and surname, the user of the mobile terminal can arbitrarily adjust the name of each node.

When designating a specific node in the "company" phonebook UI2 as a highlighting method, the display unit 140 may display detailed information of the corresponding node using a bubble window as illustrated in FIG. 7. The node designation may be performed by a touch event when the display unit 140 is a touch screen, and when there is no touch screen function, the node designation may be performed by using a direction key input and a confirmation key input of the input unit 120. The detailed information displayed by the bubble window may be information such as a phone number, an anniversary date, an address, etc. of a specific node, or may include a separate memo.

As described above, the phonebook UI2 according to an embodiment of the present invention displays the people included in the group according to the organizational lineage, such that the people included in the specific group and the relationship with me, the relationship between the specific people, the current state, and the like. Can be quickly and easily identified.

On the other hand, the phonebook UI2 of the present invention described above may provide a more convenient use of the mobile terminal by applying the integrated message function, the multi-party call function and the event alarm function. In this regard, a method of selecting a plurality of persons for providing the integrated message function, the conference call function, and the event alarm function will be described. Here, the method of selecting a plurality of persons will be described using the integrated message function as an example.

In the integrated message function, the phonebook UI2 of the present invention may transmit the integrated message by designating the persons currently displayed on the display unit 140 by the zoom in and zoom out functions. In other words, when the integrated message is to be sent in the state shown in Fig. 4, the entire number indicated by the current zoom out, that is, the whole from the grandfather down to the son and my daughter down can be selected. have. Meanwhile, when the integrated message function is performed, the controller 160 includes a person included in the display unit 140 displaying immediate family members, ie, a mother, our daughter, and a son, as shown in FIG. 5 by the zoom in function. It allows you to choose who to send a message to. In addition, when performing the integrated message function of the present invention, the controller 160 selects a specific layer and selects all persons included in the layer as persons to send a message. For example, in the case of the touch screen in FIG. 6, when the controller 160 selects a specific area, for example, an empty area in which the node is not displayed, among the areas in which the nodes of the second layer are arranged, the controller 160 is included in the corresponding layer. Extract phone numbers of people included in each node to send a message to all people. If it is not the touch screen, the controller 160 may provide "layer selection" and "node selection" items as menu items when selecting a person. Here, when selecting a layer, the controller 160 may display the currently designated layer while inverting the layers according to the movement of the direction key. In addition, when a specific layer is selected, the controller 160 may select a person of all nodes included in the corresponding layer and extract a phone number to transmit a message. In addition, in the integrated message function of the present invention, the control unit 160 may support selecting all lower nodes or all upper nodes among other nodes connected to the node when selecting a specific node displayed on the display unit 140. When the display unit 140 provides a touch screen function, when the control unit 160 sets an area to form a closed curve on the area selected by the touch event, for example, the display unit 140, all nodes included in the area.
