Hereinafter, the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGs. 3 to 7, except that the block diagram of the mobile terminal 100 to which the present invention can be applied is described as an example. A description will be given of a method for providing a two-number service.

3 to 7 are views schematically illustrating a method of providing a two-numbered service.

First, FIG. 3 shows a two-number service performed in a telephone conversation. 3, the intelligent network system 230 receives an incoming call request from an opposite-party terminal using an additional telephone number to a mobile terminal 100 provided with a two-number service, Confirms the original telephone number, and performs call processing to the mobile terminal 100. At this time, the intelligent network system 230 transmits a message including an identifier indicating that an incoming call is requested to an additional telephone number to the mobile terminal 100 when the mobile terminal 100 processes a call. For example, the intelligent network system 230 may insert two numbers into a type field of a called party subaddress in a setup message. Then, the mobile terminal 100 recognizes that an incoming call is requested in a secure mode by checking an identifier indicating that an incoming call is requested to an additional telephone number. Then, the mobile terminal 100 activates the call application, confirms the current mode, and performs an incoming call of the voice call requested in the secure mode according to the current mode. For example, when the current mode is the normal mode, the mobile terminal 100 may output a message indicating that the incoming call is requested in the secure mode and a password input field for entering the secure mode. Of course, when the current mode is the security mode, the mobile terminal 100 can immediately perform an incoming call of the voice call requested in the secure mode. At this time, the mobile terminal 100 may store a communication record for a phone call for each mode. That is, the mobile terminal 100 may allocate a specific area of the memory unit 160 as a dedicated storage for the secure mode, and store the communication records generated in the secure mode in a dedicated storage. Here, the access to the communication record stored in the dedicated repository can be made after entering the security mode through authentication such as password input. The mobile terminal 100 may store the communication record generated in the normal mode in the general storage of the memory unit 160. [

Next, FIG. 4 shows a two-number service when a message is received. 4, when the intelligent network system 230 receives a message reception request from the counterpart terminal using the additional telephone number to the mobile terminal 100 provided with the two-number service, the intelligent network system 230 maps the additional telephone number using the mapping table And then transmits the message to the mobile terminal 100. [ At this time, the intelligent network system 230 includes an identifier in the message indicating that the message is transmitted to the additional telephone number. Then, the mobile terminal 100 drives a message application according to reception of a message transmitted to the additional telephone number, confirms the current mode, and outputs a message transmitted in the security mode according to the current mode. For example, when the current mode is the normal mode, the mobile terminal 100 may display a message indicating that the message is transmitted in the security mode and a password input field for entering the security mode without displaying the message content. Of course, when the current mode is the secure mode, the mobile terminal 100 can directly output the message transmitted in the secure mode. At this time, the mobile terminal 100 may store a communication record for the received message for each mode. That is, the mobile terminal 100 may allocate a specific area of the memory unit 160 as a dedicated storage for the secure mode, and store the communication records generated in the secure mode in a dedicated storage. Here, the access to the communication record stored in the dedicated repository can be made after entering the security mode through authentication such as password input. The mobile terminal 100 may store the communication record generated in the normal mode in the general storage of the memory unit 160. [

For example, when a message transmitted to the original phone number is received, the mobile terminal 100 operates the message application according to reception of the message transmitted to the original phone number, checks the current mode, And performs the output of the transmitted message. That is, when the current mode is the secure mode, the mobile terminal 100 recognizes that the message is received in a mode different from the current mode, and outputs a message indicating that the message of the normal mode is received. When the user confirms the normal mode message in the security mode, the mobile terminal 100 automatically switches the current mode to the normal mode and outputs a corresponding message. When the mobile terminal 100 receives a confirmation input for completing viewing of the message, To the security mode which is the previous mode.

Here, if the message application operates in the normal mode, the message application can perform the user authentication based on the original phone number, and then generate the friend list of the normal mode using the address book database of the general mode. When the message application operates in the security mode, a separate instance is created to separate the data storage space of the security mode from the data storage space of the normal mode, user authentication is performed based on the additional phone number, A friend list in the security mode can be generated and operated using the address book database.

Next, FIG. 5 shows a two-number service performed in data communication. Referring to FIG. 5, the mobile terminal 100 requests data transmission in a secure mode. At this time, the mobile terminal 100 recognizes the state of being in the security mode and requests data transmission to the additional telephone number. For example, the mobile terminal 100 may send a message to the intelligent network system 230 that includes an identifier indicating that the mobile terminal 100 is calling with an additional number. Then, the intelligent network system 230 recognizes that the mobile terminal 100 originates an additional telephone number, routes the Internet connection of the mobile terminal 100 to the APN (Access Point Name) server for the secure mode, ) Can control data communication through the APN server for security mode. At this time, the intelligent network system 230 may separately generate accounting data for the data call through the APN server for the security mode. This allows you to separate the billing by normal mode and security mode. Similarly, when the mobile terminal 100 sends a voice call or a message to an additional telephone number, the intelligent network system 230 transmits charging data or voice data for a voice call or message through a message server for secure mode, for example, May be separately generated. Accordingly, when the user of the mobile terminal 100 wants to use the general mode for personal use and the security mode for business use, the personal use of the mobile terminal 100 is borne by the individual for the communication fee, .

Next, FIG. 6 shows a two-number service for a general application in the mobile terminal 100. Referring to FIG. 6, the mobile terminal 100 receives a notification message of a general application for a secure mode in a normal mode. For example, when installing a general application for the security mode, a user can register a user with an additional phone number on the application service server by the user. Therefore, when the application service server transmits a notification message such as an update notification, an event notification, etc. to the mobile terminal 100, the mobile terminal 100 may recognize that the application is a general application for the secure mode.

Then, the mobile terminal 100 displays a message indicating that the notification message of the general application for security mode is received without displaying the contents of the notification message according to the generation of the notification message of the general application for the security mode in the normal mode . For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the mobile terminal 100 may output a message indicating that a notification message of the general application for security mode is received, to the upper bar of the screen. When the mobile terminal 100 receives the selection input of the corresponding phrase from the user, the password input screen is displayed to receive the password, and when the password authentication is successful, the mobile terminal 100 starts the general application for the security mode and outputs the content of the notification message . At this time, when the mobile terminal 100 receives a selection input of the general application for the security mode again after a predetermined time elapses after leaving the security mode screen through a button input to the previous screen, the mobile terminal 100 displays a password input screen, Authentication can be performed.

Next, FIG. 7 shows a two-number service according to the mode of the mobile terminal.
