Recently, with the development of communication technology, portable communication terminals such as mobile phones, WAP phones, PDAs, PDPs, web pads, etc. have become popular and their functions have also changed in various ways. That is, in addition to a simple communication function, the portable communication terminal has added various additional functions such as Internet search, various information transmission, a phone book, a speed dial designation function, and a lock function.

The portable communication terminal has a message communication function as well as a voice communication function as a basic communication function. The message transceiving function can exchange short sentences between portable terminals without additional equipment, and is commonly known as a text message service or a short Mmessage service (SMS). Recently, with the rapid spread of portable terminals, the population of message service users is increasing rapidly. The message service is firmly established as one of the communication means comparable to the current voice call because the message service is easy to use, quick to deliver, and repeatedly attempts to transmit a message even when a voice call is impossible.

The text message received or sent to the portable communication terminal is classified according to the contents of the message and stored in the corresponding storage box. For example, an inbox for storing received text messages, an outbox for storing text messages sent by a user, a text box for storing a separate text message set by the user, and a draft box for storing a text message being edited. And a spam box for storing the received spam text message.

1 to 3 will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

First, an operation of registering a frequently used text message using the shortcut key of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

In operation 101, the main control unit 12 checks whether a text message selection key (letter box key) of the key input unit 15 is input, and proceeds to step 102 when the text message selection key is input. In the text message selection, a message writing mode is selected using a menu key, or a message writing mode is selected using a text message writing function selection key (a mailbox key provided in a mobile phone). In step 102, the main controller 12 checks whether a text editing key is input, proceeds to step 103, displays a shortcut number input screen on the display unit 16, and proceeds to step 104 when a shortcut number is input. In step 104, the main control unit 12 displays the text message contents input screen on the display unit 16, and then proceeds to step 104. At this time, the user inputs a frequently used text message using the keypad of the key input unit 15. In step 104, the main control unit 12 displays a frequently used text message input from the key input unit 15 on the screen, and proceeds to step 106. Text messages that are frequently used by users are as follows.

① “I'm coming home! ~~ ^^”

② “I love you! ~~~~ ♥”, “Baby”, “Go home carefully”

After inputting such a text message, when the text input is completed, the user presses a registration key (for example, a confirmation key or OK). Then, in step 106, the main controller 12 checks whether a registration key is input and proceeds to step 107 when the registration key is input. In step 107, the main control unit 12 stores the input frequently used text message in the message storage unit 14 in association with the input shortcut number and proceeds to step 108. In step 108, the main control unit 12 checks whether a registration mode key (for example, a confirm key or an OK key) is input to another text message. When another text message registration mode key is input, the main controller 12 returns to another step number. Press to register another text message.

Referring to FIG. 3, an operation of transmitting a text message by registering a text message frequently used in association with a speed dial number and then selecting a text message linked to the speed dial number will be described.

In operation 201, the main controller 12 checks whether a text message selection key (letter box key) of the key input unit 15 is input, and if the text message selection key is input, the process proceeds to step 202. In the text message selection, a message writing mode is selected using a menu key, or a message writing mode is selected using a text message writing function selection key (a mailbox key provided in a mobile phone).

In step 102, the main controller 12 displays a list of abbreviated numbers in which a text message is registered, and proceeds to step 203. FIG. In step 203, the main controller 12 checks whether one shortcut number of the displayed shortcut key is pressed for a long time and proceeds to step 204 if one shortcut number is not pressed for a long time. In step 204, it is checked whether a text message writing mode is selected. In the text message creation mode, a text message creation mode is selected when a user inputs a phone number to which a text is to be sent, which is an operation of operating a mobile phone, without pressing and holding a shortcut number. If the text message creation mode is selected, the text message to be transmitted is input to the screen on which the text message input window to be transmitted is displayed in step 205. When text message input is completed, the user enters a transmission key. Accordingly, after the text message input is completed, the main control unit 12 in which the transmission key is input in step 209 transmits the text message to the mobile phone corresponding to the input phone number in step 210.

However, if one of the shortcut number list is pressed for a long time in step 203, the main controller 12 displays a text message corresponding to the pressed shortcut number on the screen. In this case, the user may directly transmit the text message displayed on the current screen or may edit and transmit the text message displayed on the current screen. To directly send the text message displayed on the current screen, go to step 209 and enter the transmission key. However, in order to edit the text message displayed on the current screen, a text message edit key is selected. The text message edit key is selected as an edit mode by pressing a down key (▼) provided in the key input unit 15. As a result, when the text message editing key is input in step 207, the control proceeds to step 208. The main control unit 12 moves the cursor to the position to be edited in the text message displayed on the screen, and operates the text input key of the key input unit 15. To edit the text message. Thereafter, in step 209, the main controller 12 checks whether a transmission key is input from the key input unit 15. When the transmission key is input, the main control unit 12 proceeds to step 210 and transmits the edited text message selected by the shortcut key.

Although described with reference to the embodiments described above, those skilled in the art can be variously modified and changed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention described in the claims below. I can understand.
