4 is a diagram illustrating a method for displaying a voice call standby screen upon receiving a voice call in a user apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The user equipment in FIG. 4 assumes that a call using a messenger service is received and an application for providing a messenger service is executed.

Referring to FIG. 4, when the user equipment 100 receives a telephone call, it verifies caller information using the information of the calling user equipment transmitted at the time of receiving the call (S400 to S402).

Then, the user device 100 extracts relevant information related to the identified sender (S406)

Here, the sender-related information refers to information stored in the user device in association with the calling user, such as a chat log, a short message or a multimedia message, a mail, a file, and an instant message (IM) . In addition, in the case of instant message (IM), which is caller-related information, the instant message transmitted and received for the conversation including the user of the user device 100 stored in the messenger service device 120 and the sender of the calling user device .

Accordingly, upon extracting the caller-related information in step S406, the user device 100 extracts caller-related information stored in the device, requests caller-related information from the messenger service device 120, and receives caller- . Here, the caller-related information provided from the messenger service device 120 is an instant message stored in the messenger service device 120 within a predetermined period, and the instant message at this time is transmitted to the user of the user device 100 and the sender of the caller- Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > and / or < / RTI >

The user device 100 having extracted the sender related information as described above generates a profile using the extracted related information at step S408. At this time, the profile extracts the extracted information by category such as chat, message, mail, file, Quot; file "

Then, the user device 100 displays the generated profile on a part of the call waiting screen. At this time, the call waiting screen will display at least one of a telephone number or lettering information for displaying the caller information together with the caller profile, and a selection icon for call selection and termination. At this time, the displayed call waiting screen may be displayed as shown in FIG. 5 (a). Referring to FIG. 5, the sender profile may be displayed on a portion of the call waiting screen, such as 500.

Referring to FIG. 5, for example, when the user device 100 receives a specific information viewing request in response to a user's operation, the user device 100 displays the corresponding information (S412 to S414) If the user selects a chat category in the chat list 500, the chat list including the sender may be displayed as shown in (b), and a necessary item may be selected from the displayed chat list to confirm a specific chat history as shown in (c) .

That is, when a call using the messenger service is received from the caller A, related information related to the caller A is extracted, and the extracted related information is generated as a profile of chat, message, mail, file, Is displayed on the caller-related information window 500 in a part of the call waiting screen as shown in (a) of FIG. Then, when the user selects chat in FIG. 5A, the chat list shown in FIG. 5B is displayed. In FIG. 5B, A specific chat history will be displayed in the caller-related information window 500 as shown in (c). At this time, the user can confirm the information that the chat with the caller A is about the attendance request and the information that he / she will call at a later time, so that the caller A can predict in advance that the caller A will talk about the attendance.

6, if a user selects a message category in the caller-related information window 500 located in a certain area in the call waiting screen, a message including a message received from the caller or a message sent by the user to the caller The list will be displayed as (b). At this time, if the user selects a required message from the displayed message list, the specific message history can be confirmed.

That is, when a call using the messenger service is received from the caller A, the related information related to the caller A is extracted and the extracted related information is generated as a profile of chat, message, mail, file, Is displayed on the caller-related information window 500 in a part of the call waiting screen as shown in (a) of FIG. When the user selects a message in FIG. 6A, the screen is switched to a screen in which the message list shown in FIG. 6B is displayed. When the user selects a specific message item in FIG. 6B, Related information window 500 will be displayed. At this time, the user knows that the message received from the caller A is related to the contents of the mail transmission, and switches to the screen in which the profile is displayed as shown in (a) again. That is, the user can predict in advance that there is a possibility that the caller A has made a telephone call regarding the mail.

7, if a user selects a call history category in a caller-related information window 500 located in a certain area in a call waiting screen, a call history list including a call history related to the caller is displayed in step (b) Will be displayed.

As described above, the user can confirm the caller-related information in advance during the call waiting time, and can predict the conversation after the call connection, or know the information necessary for the conversation in advance.

Referring back to FIG. 4, if the caller-related information is displayed in step S414 and there is an input for a call from the user, the user device 100 performs an operation for establishing a call connection. However, when there is no input for the call and the call waiting time is ended, the operation for receiving the call is terminated (S416 to S418)
