In the present invention, a plurality of message composition mode providing terminals (hereinafter, referred to as "terminals") provide a plurality of message composition modes to a user. That is, the terminal provides the user with a message creation interface in various modes according to various types of messages.

For example, the plurality of message composing modes may include an integrated message composing mode, a short message only mode, and a chat mode.

Here, the integrated message creation mode is capable of writing short messages (SMS), multimedia messages (MMS), and SMIL messages (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language).

In the short message only mode, the text data amount of the input message exceeds a set reference text data amount or restricts a user interface for inputting a message including multimedia data such as a picture and a video. Has the function of

Therefore, through the short message only mode, the user can use the message composition window except for an interface (video attachment or letter select button, etc.) for composing a complex multimedia message or SMIL message.

In addition, the chat mode displays a message received or transmitted to a set telephone number in a conversation format, and displays a message transmitted and received with a specific counterpart in a conversation format. For example, the chat mode may provide a user interface similar to talking to a messenger via internet communication.

In addition, in the present invention, the terminal may change the message composition mode at any time according to the user's selection. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the terminal changes the message composition mode while composing a message. According to a second embodiment of the present invention, when a user wants to write a reply message of a specific received message, the terminal provides a menu for selecting a message writing mode.

Hereinafter, a configuration of a plurality of message creation mode providing terminals according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1.

1 is a block diagram of a plurality of message creation mode providing terminals according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a plurality of message composition mode providing terminals includes a communication unit, a display unit, an input unit, a message composition mode manager, and a storage unit.

The communication unit transmits and receives a message with another terminal through a communication network. In detail, the communication unit receives the message sent by the counterpart terminal and transmits the message created by the user. At this time, the communication unit transmits the created message to a user input or selected telephone number.

In addition, the communication unit may transmit a reply message to the received message to the calling telephone number of the received message.

The display unit displays a message composition window corresponding to the message composition mode selected by the user. Here, the message composition window is a user interface for creating a message supported by the terminal. The message composition window may be set differently for each of the message composition modes described above. For example, the integrated message creation mode may include various multimedia data such as a video attachment and a function key for creating a SMIL message, and the short message dedicated mode may include only basic function keys necessary for creating a short message.

Therefore, the user can input a message through the message writing window that is most comfortable according to the message type to be transmitted.

The input unit may include a keypad for input of a user. However, in the present invention, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the input unit is not limited to an input method through a keypad and may be implemented in various forms such as an input method through a touch screen.

In the present invention, the user may input selection information for the message composition mode through the input unit.

For example, the user may select a message composition mode through the mode selection menu. Here, the mode selection menu may include a message creation mode supported by the terminal, that is, changeable. Accordingly, the user can change the message composition mode by selecting one of the mode selection menus (for example, pressing a button on the keypad or touching the touch screen).

Alternatively, the user can select the message composition mode through hotkeys or shortcut keys. For example, the terminal may have a key button for each message writing mode, and the user may select the message writing mode by pressing the key button. As another example, the terminal may set the continuous numeric key input (for example, continuous input of 3331 *) to the selection of the short message dedicated mode. In this case, the user may select the message composition mode by performing continuous input.

Message composition mode management unit The message composition window can be changed according to the input selection information.

In detail, the message creation mode manager executes the message creation mode selected by the user. Then, the message creation mode manager displays a message creation window corresponding to the message creation mode according to the execution of the message creation mode. Subsequently, when the user wants to change the message creation mode, the message creation mode manager executes the message creation mode in which the change is requested. Accordingly, the message creation mode manager displays the message creation window corresponding to the changed message creation mode on the display unit.

That is, the message creation mode manager executes the message creation mode selected by the user, and displays a message creation window corresponding to the executed message creation mode.

In the present invention, the above-described message writing mode change can be performed at any time according to the user's selection. Therefore, the user can change the message composition mode even while composing a message. Therefore, the user can change the message creation mode at any time, for convenience, to compose a message. That is, in the present invention, the terminal provides the user with a change between the message composition mode (user interface) and the message composition mode suitable for various message types.

In addition, the message creation mode management unit displays the message displayed in the message creation window before the change in the message creation window. That is, even if there is a change in the message creation mode, the message already written is retained.

The storage unit stores the framework of the message composition window corresponding to each of the plurality of message composition modes. In addition, the storage unit may provide the message composition window selected by the user to the message composition mode manager described above.

In addition, it is possible to store a predetermined program for controlling the overall operation of the terminal, data input and output, and various data processed.

In the present specification, the communication unit, the display unit, the input unit, the message composition mode management unit, and the storage unit are expressed functionally. That is, although each functional unit is expressed separately, this is for convenience of description and may be implemented in one circuit.

So far, a description has been given of a terminal for providing a plurality of message creation modes according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, a process of providing a plurality of message creation modes will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing a plurality of message composing modes according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a process of providing a plurality of message composing modes according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

In the present invention, the terminal may change the message composition mode even during the message composition. In general, when a message creation is requested, the terminal displays a message composition window. In the present invention, since the terminal provides a plurality of message composition modes, the user may select a message composition mode to be executed when there is a message composition request.

At this time, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may change the message composition mode in response to a request for changing the message composition mode while the user composes the message. That is, the terminal may change the message composition window and display a message already input in the changed message composition window.

Hereinafter, in this specification, a message preparation mode before change is referred to as a first message creation mode and a message display window corresponding to the first message creation mode is referred to as a first message display window as needed for understanding and explanation. In the present specification, the message creation mode after the change is referred to as a second message creation mode, and a message display window corresponding to the second message creation mode is referred to as a second message display window.

In addition, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, when the terminal has a selection of a reply function for a specific received message, the terminal is selected in which message composition mode to write a reply message. Thereafter, the terminal may execute the selected message composition mode.

The first and second embodiments of the present invention described above will be described in detail by distinguishing them from FIGS. 2 and 3, respectively.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing a plurality of message creation modes according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

2, a process of providing a plurality of message writing modes according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

In step S210, the terminal receives a message creation request from the user. In this case, as described above, the user may perform a message writing request using an input unit implemented in various forms such as a keypad or a touch screen having a key button.

Thereafter, the terminal may provide a menu for selecting a message composition mode to the user.

Alternatively, the terminal may execute a preset message composition mode. For example, when the message writing mode frequently used by the user is preset as the basic message writing mode, the terminal may execute the preset basic message writing mode when the user writes a message. In this case, it is obvious that step S220 to be described below can be omitted.

Subsequently, in step S220 and step S230, the terminal receives a selection of the first message composition mode (S220). Thereafter, the terminal displays a first message composition window corresponding to the first message composition mode.

For example, assume that the first message creation mode is a short message only mode. The terminal displays a message composition window including only a basic area such as a message area in which an input message is displayed and a menu area for converting a text input such as Korean.

Accordingly, the terminal may provide a message composition window in which only a function necessary for the transmission of the short message is displayed to the user. In this case, the user is provided with a wider message area since unnecessary functions are not displayed.

In addition, in the short message only mode, as described above, when the input text data amount exceeds the set reference text data amount or includes multimedia data such as a picture and a video, the input of the message is restricted. Therefore, although the user wants to create a short message, there is an advantage in that an error transmitted to the long message may be prevented because the amount of data of the input message exceeds a reference data amount (for example, 90 bytes).

Subsequently, in step S240, the terminal determines whether there is a message creation mode change request from the user.

At this time, if there is no request for changing the message composition mode, the terminal maintains the first message display window as it is.

On the other hand, in step S250, the terminal provides a mode selection menu when the message creation mode change request, as a result of the determination in step S240. Here, the mode selection menu may include a message preparation mode that the terminal can provide.

Subsequently, in step S260, the terminal receives a selection of the second message composition mode. That is, the user can select the message creation mode through the mode selection menu provided in step S250.

Meanwhile, the terminal may receive selection of the second message writing mode through a hot key or a shortcut key. In this case, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that step S250 can be omitted.

Subsequently, in step S270, the terminal changes the displayed first message composition window to the second message composition window. Here, the second message composition window is the message composition window corresponding to the second message composition mode selected by the user as described above.

Referring to the above example, assume that the user changes his or her mind to send a multimedia message while composing a message in a short message dedicated mode (ie, a first message composing mode). In this case, the user may select the integrated message creation mode (ie, the second message creation mode) through the mode selection menu. The terminal displays a message composition window (that is, a second message composition window) corresponding to the integrated message composition mode. In this case, the second message composition window includes a button necessary for a multimedia message, such as a menu button for attaching a file or a menu button for selecting a letter.

In addition, when a user has already input a message using the first message composition window, the terminal displays the message in the second message composition window. That is, the user can enter a message following the message being written.

Subsequently, in step S280, when the message writing is completed, the terminal inputs a counterpart phone number to transmit the created message from the user, or transmits a message input to the selected input or the selected phone number.

According to the present invention, the terminal provides the user with a plurality of optimal message composition modes. In addition, the terminal provides an interface for changing a message creation mode according to a user's selection during the creation of a plurality of messages. Therefore, the present invention has an advantage in that the user can freely change a suitable message writing mode even while writing a message.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing a plurality of message creation modes according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, a process of providing a plurality of message creation modes according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

In step S310 and step S320, the terminal receives a selection of the received message from the user (S310). The terminal receives a selection of a reply function of the corresponding received message from the user (S320). That is, the user selects one of the stored messages and inputs a message creation request for creating a reply message to the message.

At this time, in step S330, the terminal provides a mode selection menu. As described above, the mode selection menu includes a plurality of message creation modes that the terminal can provide.

In operation S340, the terminal receives a selection of a message composition mode.

Steps S330 and S340 are similar to those of steps S250 and S260 of FIG. 2, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Subsequently, in step S350, the terminal displays the selected message composition window on the display area. In detail, the terminal displays a message creation window corresponding to the message creation mode selected by the user among the plurality of message creation modes.

Subsequently, in step S360, the terminal displays the input message on the display area. In detail, the terminal displays a message input by the user in an area where a message is displayed among the displayed message preparation window.

Subsequently, in step S370, the terminal transmits the input message in response to the received message. In detail, the terminal determines whether the user's message input is completed. When the message input is completed, the terminal transmits the completed message to the calling telephone number of the corresponding received message.

Here, the terminal may transmit a message to the corresponding telephone number through the communication network. Since the process of transmitting the message will be apparent to those skilled in the art a detailed description will be omitted.

So far, the process of providing a plurality of message creation modes according to an embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. Hereinafter, a process of providing a plurality of message creation modes will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

4 is an exemplary diagram for describing a process of providing a plurality of message writing modes according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

The first embodiment of the present invention is to change the message writing mode according to the user's selection while the message is being written.

Referring to FIG. 4, the 410 example screen is a screen illustrating a message creation window (first message creation window) corresponding to an integrated message creation mode. Integrated message writing mode is a message writing mode that can write a variety of messages, such as short messages, multimedia messages. Therefore, it can be seen that a menu such as "letter", "photo", "font", etc. is displayed at the top of the screen.

When the user selects the mode change, the terminal may display the 420 example screen. The example screen 420 illustrates a mode selection menu, and includes a menu of "integrated", "SMS", and "chat". Here, "integration" means the integrated message creation mode, "SMS" means the short message only mode, and "chat" means the chat mode. However, terms such as "integration", "SMS" and the like may be changed, and it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to these terms.

When the user selects the short message only mode, the terminal may display the screen 430 example. The 430 example screen is a message creation window for creating a short message, and the area where the message is displayed is wider than that of the 410 example screen. That is, the terminal provides a wider interface for displaying a message except for an unnecessary menu for the user to create a short message.

Therefore, the user may be provided with a message composition window including only a menu necessary for preparing a short message.

5 is an exemplary diagram for describing a process of providing a plurality of message composition modes according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

The second embodiment of the present invention provides a mode selection menu when composing a reply message to a received message.

Referring to FIG. 4, the 510 example screen illustrates a case in which a user selects a received message and selects a reply function for the selected received message.

In this case, the terminal does not immediately display a message creation window, but provides a mode selection menu. Referring to 520 example screen, the terminal provides a mode selection menu including a menu of "integration", "SMS", "chat" similar to the 420 example screen of FIG.

When the user selects the chat mode, the terminal may display the 530 example screen. That is, when the user selects the chat mode, the terminal displays the contents of the received message and then displays all of the contents of the received message and the message sent from the corresponding party together with the message composition window.

According to the present invention, the terminal provides the user with a message composition window in various modes, and can change the message composition window at any time according to the user's selection.

In particular, the terminal provides the user with a function to change the message composition window while the message is being created. Alternatively, the terminal provides a function of selecting a message creation mode even when the user wants to write a reply message to the received message.

The invention can also be embodied as computer readable code on a computer readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored.

For example, the computer-readable recording medium may include a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, an optical data storage device, and the like.

It may also include the implementation in the form of a carrier wave (for example, transmission over the Internet).

The computer readable recording medium can also be distributed over network coupled computer systems so that the computer readable code is stored and executed in a distributed fashion.

And functional programs, codes and code segments for implementing the present invention can be easily inferred by programmers in the art to which the present invention belongs.
