Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail with respect to the reception call control method of the mobile terminal according to the present invention.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a reception call control method of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the mobile terminal 100 receives a call from the counterpart terminal using the wireless communication unit 110 (S301).

Here, the call may include a voice call and a video call, and may broadly include a message (including a text message, a multimedia message, and the like). In addition, the call may be provided through a mobile communication network or the Internet.

The mobile terminal 100, under the control of the controller 180, performs a call reception notification operation when receiving a call (S303).

Here, the call reception notification operation is an operation for notifying a user that a call has been received by the mobile terminal 100 and may include a ringtone output, a vibration output, a lamp output, a text output, and the like. Furthermore, a ramp output or text output that does not output sound may correspond to a silent output.

The mobile terminal 100 may perform a call reception notification operation by using the output unit 150.

For example, the mobile terminal 100 may not only perform a call reception notification operation using the alarm unit 153 regardless of the output form, but also use the sound output module 152 in the case of a ring tone output. In the case of lamp output or text output, the display unit 151 may be further used.

The mobile terminal 100 may preset an output form of a call reception notification operation before call reception according to a user selection, and may change the set output form at the time of call reception.

Furthermore, the mobile terminal 100 may differently set the output form of the call reception notification operation by the counterpart terminal or the group (composed of a plurality of counterpart terminals), and vary the output form of the call reception notification operation by place or time zone. Can be set to

For example, the other party A may be set as a ringtone output and the other party B may be set as a vibration output (relative setting). Alternatively, you can set the lamp output at school / library and the ringtone output at home (set by place).

In addition, the mobile terminal 100 may perform a call reception notification operation for a predetermined time period under the control of the controller 180. More specifically, the controller 180 may designate a time (hereinafter, call reception notification time) to perform a call reception notification operation in advance, perform a call reception notification operation for the designated call reception notification time, and specify the specified call reception notification. If the incoming call is not connected for a time, the incoming call can be rejected. Therefore, the gestures mentioned below may be input within the call reception notification time.

The mobile terminal 100 receives a gesture for controlling the connection of the received call from a user and senses an input of the gesture by using the sensing unit 140 (S305).

Here, the gesture may be a touch operation on a point of the touch screen included in the mobile terminal 100, a grip operation on the mobile terminal 100, a flip operation on the mobile terminal 100, or a movement. It may include a shake operation of the terminal 100, a pressing operation of the front surface of the mobile terminal 100, and the like.

For example, the sensing unit 140 may include a touch sensor to detect a touch motion, and may include a temperature sensor or a pressure sensor to detect a grip motion or a press motion, and a flip motion. Or it may include a motion detection sensor to detect the shaking motion.

The mobile terminal 100 may determine an operation pattern of a gesture in which the input is detected under the control of the controller 180, and perform a control operation on the received call according to the determined operation pattern.

For example, the first to fifth gestures to be described later may have different operation patterns. In addition, the control operation described above may include first to fourth control operations described later.

Hereinafter, the reception call control operation for each operation pattern will be described in detail.

When the input of the first gesture is detected by the sensing unit 140 (YES in S307), the mobile terminal 100 may perform a first control operation (S309).

For example, the first gesture may include a touch operation on a point of the touch screen provided in the mobile terminal 100. More specifically, the touch operation may include a tapping operation, a flicking operation, a touch drag operation, and the like. In addition, the first control operation may include connecting the received call and setting an output mode of the connected call to a speakerphone mode.

Regarding the first control operation, it will be described later in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6C.

When the input of the first gesture is not detected (NO in S307), the mobile terminal 100 determines whether the second gesture is input using the sensing unit 140 (S309). Of course, the mobile terminal 100 may determine the input fisherman of the second gesture regardless of whether the first gesture is input.

When the input of the second gesture is detected (YES in S309), the mobile terminal 100 determines whether the fourth gesture is input (S311), and when the input of the fourth gesture is detected (YES in S311). In operation S315, the second control operation may be performed. Of course, the mobile terminal 100 may perform the second control operation only by inputting the second gesture regardless of whether the fourth gesture is input or not.

For example, the second gesture may include a grip operation with respect to the mobile terminal 100, and the fourth gesture may include a pressing operation with a predetermined reference or more with respect to a region of the front portion of the mobile terminal 100. have. More specifically, the second gesture may include a user action of holding the mobile terminal 100 to perform a call when receiving a call, and the fourth gesture may include operating the mobile terminal 100 of the user in order to talk to a counterpart terminal of an incoming call. And approaching near the ear.

In addition, the second control operation may include connecting the received call and setting the output mode of the connected call to an earpiece mode.

The second control operation will be described later in detail with reference to FIGS. 7 to 8B.

If the input of the first gesture is not detected (NO in S307), the mobile terminal 100 determines whether the third gesture is input using the sensing unit 140 (S317). Of course, the mobile terminal 100 may determine the input fisherman of the third gesture regardless of whether the first gesture is input.

In response to the control of the controller 180, when the input of the third gesture is detected (YES in S317), the mobile terminal 100 may perform a third control operation (S319).

For example, the third gesture may include flipping of the mobile terminal 100. In addition, the third control operation may include processing an output form of a predetermined call reception notification operation as a silent output.

Furthermore, the mobile terminal 100 may determine whether the second gesture is input under the control of the controller 180 and determine whether the third gesture is input only when the input of the second gesture is detected. have. Therefore, the mobile terminal 100 performs the second control operation when the input of the third gesture is not detected after the input of the second gesture, and the third input when the input of the third gesture is detected after the input of the second gesture. The control operation can be performed.

The third control operation will be described later in detail with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11.

When the input of the first gesture is not detected (NO in S307), the mobile terminal 100 determines whether the fifth gesture is input using the sensing unit 140 (S321). Of course, the mobile terminal 100 may determine the input fisherman of the fifth gesture regardless of whether the first gesture is input.

In response to the control of the controller 180, when the input of the fifth gesture is detected (YES in S321), the mobile terminal 100 may perform a fourth control operation (S323).

For example, the fifth gesture may include a shaking operation of the mobile terminal 100. In addition, the fourth control operation may include an operation of rejecting the received call.

Furthermore, the mobile terminal 100 may determine whether the second gesture is input under the control of the controller 180 and determine whether the fifth gesture is input only when the input of the second gesture is detected. have. Accordingly, the mobile terminal 100 performs the second control operation when the input of the fifth gesture is not detected after the input of the second gesture, and the fourth input when the input of the fifth gesture is detected after the input of the second gesture. The control operation can be performed.

Regarding the fourth control operation, it will be described later in detail with reference to FIGS. 12 to 13C.

If none of the first to fifth gestures described above is input under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 continuously performs a call reception notification operation and determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed. (S325). Here, the predetermined time may mean the call reception notification time described above.

The mobile terminal 100 rejects the received call under the control of the controller 180 when a predetermined time elapses in a state where no input of any of the first to fifth gestures is detected as a result of the determination (operation 180). S327). Therefore, the call between the mobile terminal 100 and the counterpart terminal that transmitted the call is not performed.

Hereinafter, the gesture-specific control operation will be described in more detail.

First, a first control operation according to the input of the first gesture will be described.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a call received when a first gesture is input according to the present invention.

As described above, the first gesture may be a touch operation with respect to a point on the touch screen provided in the mobile terminal 100 and may include a tapping operation, a flicking operation, a touch drag operation, a proximity touch operation, and the like.

Referring to FIG. 4, when the mobile terminal 100 receives a first gesture from a user while receiving a call from the counterpart terminal under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 uses the first sensing unit 140. The input of the gesture is sensed (S401).

For example, when the first gesture is a touch operation, an input of the first gesture may be detected by using a touch sensing sensor (one component of the sensing unit 140). More specifically, the touch sensing sensor may detect a touch point, a touch pressure, a touch area, a number of touches, whether a single touch / multitouch, and the like.

In addition, when the first gesture is a touch operation, the mobile terminal 100 may recognize it as a first gesture when the touch point falls within a predetermined area, or may recognize it as a first gesture regardless of the touch point as long as it is a touch operation. .

In particular, the user who is driving while the mobile terminal 100 is mounted on the moving vehicle can easily connect a call without having to directly hold the mobile terminal 100 only by inputting the first gesture, which is a touch operation.

When the mobile terminal 100 receives the first gesture, the mobile terminal 100 connects the received call using the wireless communication unit 110 under the control of the controller 180 (S403). Therefore, a call between the mobile terminal 100 and the counterpart terminal that transmitted the received call may be performed.

Meanwhile, the mobile terminal 100 may control the connection of the received call by analyzing the counterpart information of the counterpart terminal transmitting the received call under the control of the controller 180.

For example, when the counterpart information of the counterpart terminal is not stored in the mobile terminal 100, when there is no call / message transmission / reception record with the counterpart terminal, when the counterpart information of the counterpart terminal includes a specific number. Or the other terminal designated by the user of the mobile terminal 100, the controller 180 outputs an analysis result for the other terminal without directly connecting the received call even when the first gesture is input. To allow the user to once again select whether to connect the received call.

In this case, the analysis result of the counterpart terminal may be output as voice. In addition, when the first gesture is input again while the analysis result of the counterpart terminal is output, the controller 180 can connect the received call.

The mobile terminal 100, under the control of the controller 180, sets the output mode of the connected call to the speakerphone mode (S405), and outputs a voice signal received from the counterpart terminal through the connected call in the speakerphone mode ( S407).

Here, the speakerphone mode may include a mode for outputting a voice signal received from a counterpart terminal through a speaker attached to the user terminal and transmitting a voice signal input to the user terminal from a user at a predetermined distance to the counterpart terminal. Can be.

Therefore, when the speakerphone mode is set, the user may perform a call even when the user is away from the mobile terminal 100 by a predetermined distance or more without directly touching the mobile terminal 100. In particular, when it is difficult for a user to make a phone call with the mobile terminal 100 (for example, while driving or exercising), the mobile terminal 100 may be more usefully used.

The mobile terminal 100, under the control of the controller 180, detects whether the first gesture is input again from the user using the sensing unit 140 (S409).

Here, the user may re-input the gesture 1 gesture in order to terminate the currently connected call.

In the above, it is assumed that the gesture input at the end of a call is the same as the gesture input at the time of call connection. For example, a gesture input when a call is connected may be configured as a single touch operation (or a single touch operation), and a gesture input when the call ends is configured as a multi-touch operation (or multiple touch operations).

When re-input of the first gesture is detected under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 suspends transmission of a voice signal (or an audio signal) through the connected call (S411). Using 150, information (hereinafter referred to as call termination confirmation information) for receiving call termination or not is output (S413).

This is to allow the user to check again whether or not the connected call is terminated in consideration of the possibility that the re-input of the first gesture was inadvertently caused by the user's terminal malfunction.

Here, the call termination confirmation information may be output as voice, text, vibration, and the like.

The transmission hold step S411 may optionally be performed in some cases. In addition, in some cases, the mobile terminal 100 may immediately terminate the connected call when a re-input of the first gesture is detected.

The mobile terminal 100 detects whether the first gesture is input again from the user under the control of the controller 180 using the sensing unit 140 during the output of the call termination confirmation information (S415).

Here, the user may input a first gesture for terminating the connected call after confirming call termination information.

When the mobile terminal 100 receives the first gesture again while outputting call termination confirmation information, the mobile terminal 100 may generate a call termination signal for the connected call under the control of the controller 180 and terminate the connected call. There is (S417).

Hereinafter, a process of connecting and terminating a received call according to the input of the first gesture will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5D. For convenience of description, the first gesture is limited to the tapping operation.

According to FIG. 5A, when receiving a call from the counterpart terminal 010-xxx-xxxx, the mobile terminal 100 outputs a predetermined operation (eg, ringtone output, vibration output, lamp output, etc.) as a call reception notification operation. And the like, as well as counterpart information (for example, a phone number and a name / picture registered on the phone book) for the counterpart terminal.

Referring to FIG. 5B, when the mobile terminal 100 receives a tapping operation on an arbitrary point of the screen from the user while performing the reassurance notification operation in FIG. 5A, the mobile terminal 100 connects a call received from the counterpart terminal to the counterpart terminal. You can make a call. In this case, the call mode may be set to the speakerphone mode, and one area of the screen may display information 501 indicating that the speakerphone mode is set as the call mode.

According to FIG. 5C, when the mobile terminal 100 receives a tapping operation on an arbitrary point of the screen from the user while performing a call in FIG. 5B, the mobile terminal 100 allows the user to confirm whether to terminate the call. Can be output as voice or text.

Referring to FIG. 5D, when the mobile terminal 100 receives a tapping operation with respect to an arbitrary point of the screen in FIG. 5C, the mobile terminal 100 may terminate the call with the counterpart terminal.

Hereinafter, a call control process according to an analysis result of a received call when the first gesture is input will be described with reference to FIGS. 6A to 6C. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the other party information of the other party terminal that has received the incoming call is not registered in the phone book of the mobile terminal 100.

According to FIG. 6A, when the mobile terminal 100 receives a tapping operation on an arbitrary point of the screen from the user during the execution of the new call notification operation in FIG. 5A, the mobile terminal 100 does not directly connect the received call. Information 601 indicating that the other party information of the other party terminal which has transmitted the call is not registered in the phone book may be output by voice or text.

When a tapping operation using one pointer is received in FIG. 6A, the mobile terminal 100 may connect the received call and output a voice signal received through the connected call in speakerphone mode (FIG. 5B). Reference).

When a tapping operation using a plurality of pointers is received in FIG. 6A, the mobile terminal 100 may reject the received call without connecting (FIG. 6B).

When a tapping operation using a plurality of pointers is received in FIG. 6B, the mobile terminal 100 may compose a message indicating that the received call is rejected and transmit the rejected call to the counterpart terminal that has transmitted the rejected call ( 6c). Meanwhile, when a tapping operation using one pointer is received in FIG. 6B, the mobile terminal 100 may not transmit a message indicating that the received call is rejected to the counterpart terminal.

In addition, an embodiment of receiving a message in relation to the first gesture input will be described below.

When the mobile terminal 100 receives the message through the wireless communication unit 110, under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 uses the sensing unit 140 to determine whether the first gesture is input from the user in the message receiving state. It can be detected.

When the input of the first gesture is detected, the mobile terminal 100 may convert the message content included in the received message into an audio signal and output the audio signal. In addition, when the first gesture input is detected, the mobile terminal 100 may output a message title, a message transmission counterpart, a message transmission / reception time, etc. included in the received message as an audio signal.

Next, a second control operation according to the input of the second and fourth gestures will be described.

7 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a call reception when a second and fourth gestures are input according to the present invention.

As described above, the second gesture may include an operation of grabbing the mobile terminal 100, and the fourth gesture may include a pressing operation on a predetermined area of the front surface of the mobile terminal 100. .

Referring to FIG. 7, under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 detects whether the second gesture is input from the user using the sensing unit 140 while receiving a call from the counterpart terminal ( S701)

For example, when the second gesture is an operation of holding the mobile terminal 100, the second gesture may be detected using a temperature sensor or a pressure sensor (one component of the sensing unit 140).

More specifically, the temperature sensor or the pressure sensor, in general, in consideration of the portion where the user touches when the user grabs the terminal to perform a call, the mobile terminal 100 based on before and after the input of the second gesture. Changes in temperature or pressure on either side or back of the sensor can be detected. The temperature sensor or the pressure sensor may determine that the second gesture is input when the detected temperature change or pressure change is greater than or equal to a predetermined reference.

FIG. 8A illustrates a case where an operation of a user holding the mobile terminal 100 is input as an example of the second gesture.

The mobile terminal 100 detects whether the fourth gesture is sequentially input by the user after the input of the second gesture, under the control of the controller 180 (S703).

For example, when the fourth gesture is a pressing operation on a portion of the front portion of the mobile terminal 100, the fourth gesture may be detected using a pressure sensor (one component of the sensing unit 140). . Alternatively, when the fourth gesture is an operation of contacting a part of the front portion of the mobile terminal 100 with the ear or the vicinity of the ear, the temperature of the partial region using a temperature sensor (one component of the sensing unit 140) may be used. The change may be used to detect the fourth gesture.

More specifically, the temperature sensor or the pressure sensor is generally before and after the input of the second gesture in consideration of the part touching the ear or the ear near the ear when the user brings the front of the terminal to the ear or the ear in order to conduct a call. The temperature change or the pressure change with respect to a partial region (for example, an area where the contact with the ear or the ear is likely to be in contact with the ear) may be sensed based on the reference point. The temperature sensor or the pressure sensor may determine that the fourth gesture is input when the detected temperature change or pressure change is greater than or equal to a predetermined reference.

FIG. 8B illustrates a case where a predetermined area of the front portion of the mobile terminal 100 is contacted by the user's ear or the vicinity of the ear as a fourth gesture. This is the case when the user takes the terminal to or near the ear to perform a call.

When the mobile terminal 100 sequentially receives the second and fourth gestures, the mobile terminal 100 connects the received call using the wireless communication unit 110 under the control of the controller 180 (S705). Therefore, a call between the mobile terminal 100 and the counterpart terminal that transmitted the received call may be performed.

Meanwhile, the mobile terminal 100 may perform a call connection operation S705 only by input of the second gesture.

The mobile terminal 100 sets the output mode of the connected call to the earpiece mode under the control of the controller 180 (S707), and outputs the voice signal received from the counterpart terminal through the connected call in the earpiece mode. (S709).

Here, the earpiece mode may include a mode for outputting a user's ear as a load through the handset attached to the user terminal. In general, this may mean a mode in which the user calls the terminal with his or her ear.

The mobile terminal 100 may terminate the call when performing a call with the counterpart terminal through the connected call and generating a call termination signal during the call (S711).

Here, the call termination signal is a call termination signal when the call termination key (key area) is selected by the user in the case of normal termination, when a gesture corresponding to the call termination is input by the user, or by the user of the counterpart terminal. Can occur if requested. In addition, the call termination signal may occur in the case of abnormal termination, when the battery remaining capacity is insufficient to be able to conduct a call, or when entering an area with poor signal sensitivity.

Next, a third control operation according to the input of the third gesture will be described.

9 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a call received when a third gesture is input according to the present invention.

As described above, the third gesture may include a flip operation of the mobile terminal 100.

Referring to FIG. 9, in a state in which a call is received from the counterpart terminal, the mobile terminal 100 detects whether the third gesture is input from the user using the sensing unit 140 under the control of the controller 180 ( S901).

For example, when the third gesture is a flip operation of the mobile terminal 100, the third gesture may be detected using a motion sensor (one component of the sensing unit 140). More specifically, the motion sensor may detect the movement of the mobile terminal 100 when the mobile terminal 100 is turned upside down while the front surface is facing forward.

In particular, when it is difficult to receive a call due to a meeting or the like, the user may make the call reception notification operation silent by only turning the terminal upside down.

Furthermore, the mobile terminal 100 determines whether the third gesture is input after the second gesture is input, and when the second and third gestures are sequentially input, the mobile terminal 100 receives only the second gesture and performs the third control operation. If the third gesture is not input, the third gesture may perform a second control operation.

For example, when the second gesture is an operation of holding the mobile terminal 100 and the third gesture is an operation of inverting the mobile terminal 100, the sequential input of the second and third gestures may be performed by the user. It can mean to hold and flip.

The mobile terminal 100, under the control of the controller 180, processes the call reception notification operation as a silent output regardless of the output type of the preset call reception notification operation when the third gesture is input (S903).

For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the mobile terminal 100, even when the output type of the preset call reception notification operation is a vibration output, when the flipping operation of the ETM terminal 100 is input as the third gesture. The vibration output can be stopped and silent output can be performed.

Here, the silent output may mean not outputting audio or vibration as a call reception notification operation. However, the lamp output or the text output (relative information display) may be performed as the call reception notification operation during the silent output.

Furthermore, the mobile terminal 100 may analyze the counterpart information of the counterpart terminal that has transmitted the received call under the control of the controller 180, and control the received call connection operation according to the analysis result.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 11, when the counterpart terminal is registered as an emergency / priority counterpart or as a counterpart terminal having a call record more than a certain frequency, the mobile terminal 100 performs a third gesture. Even after the input of the analysis result may be output as a voice or a predetermined number of vibration outputs, thereby inducing the user to connect the received call.

The mobile terminal 100 determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed while performing a call reception notification operation with a silent output under the control of the controller 180 (S905).

Here, the predetermined time may mean a general call connection waiting time when the call is received, or may mean a call connection waiting time that is performed separately from the general call connection waiting time when the third gesture is input in the call reception state. In the former case, a predetermined time may be counted from a call reception time, and in the latter case, a predetermined time may be counted from a third gesture input time.

For example, the mobile terminal 100 may further include a timer (not shown) and count whether the predetermined time has elapsed by using the timer.

When it is determined that a predetermined time has elapsed in the determination step S905, the mobile terminal 100 rejects the received call without connecting the control call (S907). Therefore, as the received call is rejected, the call with the counterpart terminal that transmitted the received call cannot be performed.

When the mobile terminal 100 rejects the received call (S907), under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 notifies the call reception rejection of the call transmission rejected to the other terminal (hereinafter, the call rejection). Notification message) can be transmitted (S909).

Here, the call rejection notification message may be automatically transmitted with the predetermined comment as the message content even when a separate message creation operation is not input from the user. For example, a predetermined comment may include "It is difficult to make a call. We will contact you later.", "Your call was rejected by user request. Please contact me later." In addition, the predetermined comment may be previously input by user selection or may be pre-stored in the mobile terminal 100.

Next, a fourth control operation according to the input of the fifth gesture will be described.

As described above, the fifth gesture may include a shake operation of the mobile terminal 100.

12 is a flowchart of a reception call control method when a fifth gesture is input according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 12, under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 detects whether the fifth gesture is input from the user in the call reception state using the sensing unit 140 (S1201). In other words, the mobile terminal 100 may detect whether a fifth gesture is input during a call connection waiting time.

For example, when the fifth gesture is a shaking motion of the mobile terminal 100, the input of the fifth gesture may be detected using a motion sensor (one component of the sensing unit 140). More specifically, the motion sensor may detect whether a shake motion is input, the number of shakes, a shake direction (eg, front and back shake or left and right shake, etc.).

When the fifth gesture input is detected under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 may generate a call end signal (S1203). Therefore, the mobile terminal 100, under the control of the controller 80, may reject the received call without connecting the call corresponding to the call termination signal (S1205).

Furthermore, the mobile terminal 100 may analyze the counterpart information of the counterpart terminal that has transmitted the received call under the control of the controller 180 and control the reception call rejection operation according to the analysis result.

For example, the mobile terminal 100, when the counterpart terminal is registered as an emergency / priority counterpart or a counterpart terminal having a call record for a predetermined frequency or more, the voice of the analysis result even after input of the fifth gesture. By performing a predetermined number of times or by performing a vibration output, the user can be induced to connect the received call.

In addition, when the mobile terminal 100 receives the fifth gesture again after outputting the analysis result, the mobile terminal 100 may reject the received call.

A process of rejecting an incoming call upon input of the fifth gesture will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 13A to 13C.

According to FIG. 13A, when receiving a call from the counterpart terminal 010-xxx-xxxx, the mobile terminal 100 may perform a call reception notification operation and output counterpart information regarding the counterpart terminal on the screen. Can be.

According to FIG. 13B, when receiving the shaking motion as the fifth gesture in FIG. 13A, the mobile terminal 100 may reject the received call.

Furthermore, according to FIG. 13C, when the mobile terminal 100 receives a shaking motion as the fifth gesture in FIG. 13A, when the counterpart terminal is registered as an emergency counterpart, the mobile terminal 100 notifies the user of the counterpart and informs the user whether to terminate the call. Can be considered once again. In addition, when the fifth gesture is input again in FIG. 13C, the mobile terminal 100 may reject the received call (see FIG. 13B).

Next, a call connection control operation according to a gesture input when a second call is received during a first call is described.

14 is a flowchart illustrating a call connection control method of first and second calls according to a gesture input when a second call is received during a call by the first call according to the present invention.

Here, the first and second calls may include both audio calls or video calls. Moreover, the first call may be a voice call and the second call may be a video call or vice versa.

Referring to FIG. 14, the mobile terminal 100 performs a call by a first call with a first counterpart terminal using the wireless communication unit 110 (S1401), and uses the wireless communication unit 110 to perform a second counterpart terminal. The second call is received from (S1403).

The mobile terminal 100 receives a specific gesture from the user, and senses the input of the specific gesture using the sensing unit 140 under the control of the controller 180 (S1405).

Here, the specific gesture may include any of the first to fifth gestures described above.

The mobile terminal 100, under the control of the controller 180, performs the call connection control operation of the first and second calls to correspond to the input gesture (S1407).

Hereinafter, a process of performing call connection control operations for the first and second calls according to a gesture input will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 15A to 17B.

First, the first call connection control operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 15A to 15C.

According to FIG. 15A, when receiving a second call during a call by the first call, the mobile terminal 100 may output the reception notification information 1501 of the second call.

According to FIG. 15B, when the mobile terminal 100 receives a one-touch operation (an example of a gesture for commanding first call / second call hold) in FIG. 15A, the mobile terminal 100 maintains the call according to the first call. For example, the second call may be connected but the call under the second call may be put on hold.

According to FIG. 15C, when the mobile terminal 100 receives two touch operations (an example of a gesture for instructing to hold a second call / first call) in FIG. 15A, the mobile terminal 100 connects the second call to the second call. The call can be put on hold without ending the first call while maintaining the call.

Furthermore, when the touch operation is input twice in FIG. 15B, the mobile terminal 100 may hold the call of the first call while performing the call according to the second call (see FIG. 15C) and once in FIG. 15C. When the touch operation is input, the call of the second call may be suspended while the call of the first call is performed (see FIG. 15B).

Next, a second call connection control operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 16A to 16C.

According to FIG. 16A, when receiving a second call during a call by the first call, the mobile terminal 100 may output reception notification information 1501 of the second call.

According to FIG. 16B, when the mobile terminal 100 receives a shake operation (an example of a gesture for commanding a first call type / second call) in FIG. 16A, the mobile terminal 100 ends the call according to the first call. For example, the second call may be connected to the second call.

According to FIG. 16C, when the mobile terminal 100 receives the shaking motion (an example of a gesture for initiating the second call / first call) in FIG. 16A, the mobile terminal 100 maintains the call according to the first call. It can refuse to receive the call of No. 2.

Next, a third call connection control operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 17A and 17B.

According to FIG. 17A, when receiving a second call during a call by the first call, the mobile terminal 100 may output the reception notification information 1501 of the second call.

According to FIG. 17B, when the mobile terminal 100 receives a multi-touch operation (an example of a gesture for commanding a conference call of the first and second calls) in FIG. 17A, the mobile terminal 100 connects and moves the first and second calls simultaneously. A multi-party call may be performed between the terminal 100, the first counterpart terminal, and the second counterpart terminal.

In addition, according to the present invention, the mobile terminal 100, under the control of the control unit 180, is not generally a call termination by the call termination signal, but a call already terminated by the above-mentioned gestures or a call before the call connection When the reception is rejected, information about the terminated or rejected call may be stored in the memory 160. In this case, the controller 180 may store and manage information regarding the terminated or rejected call separately from a general call related history (recent call list, caller list, unconfirmed list, etc.). In addition, the mobile terminal 100 may separately store and manage information regarding a call rejected by the non-input of the first gesture during the movement of the vehicle on which the mobile terminal 100 is mounted.

For example, the information on the terminated or rejected call includes information on the other party (telephone number, registered name / registered picture on the phone book, etc.), the reception time of the call, and the call rejection of the other terminal that transmitted the call. Gestures (eg, shaking, flipping, etc.).

Thus, the user can later retrieve only information about calls that were rejected or terminated by the gestures described above.

In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the above-described mobile terminal and the method of controlling a reception call thereof can be implemented as code that can be read by a processor in a medium in which a program is recorded. Examples of processor-readable media include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, optical data storage, and the like, and may be implemented in the form of a carrier wave (for example, transmission over the Internet). Include.

The above-described mobile terminal and the method of controlling call reception thereof may not be limitedly applied to the configuration and method of the above-described embodiments. May be optionally combined.
