BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for accessing a user function of a multifunction wireless telephone, and more particularly, to a method for accessing a function that can be used by a user's selection among various functions implemented in a wireless telephone.

FIG. 1 is a structure diagram of a handset of a wireless telephone for explaining a conventional user function approach, and FIG. 2 is a view showing a function sequence of a user function approach applied to the wireless telephone of FIG. In the conventional radiotelephone, as shown in FIG. 1, it is difficult to add a function corresponding to key input because the number of keys implemented in the handset is limited.

That is, the conventional radiotelephone adopts a method of allocating a specific function to a dial digit or a key, and thus is limited in adding a function due to a limited number of keys. To access the basic functions of a user function using such a cordless telephone, you must press a function selection key, either a function key or a shift key, and then press the corresponding digit for the dial to which the specific function is assigned. It was.

In addition, in order to access to perform a detailed function in a user function, as shown in FIG. 2, after the input of a key according to the execution of the basic function according to the detailed sequence, another corresponding digit for the dial is displayed. Had to press.

Since the conventional user function approach requires assigning a specific function to a key, it is difficult to construct a detailed sequence in conjunction with a limited number of keys in order to perform a detailed function as in the second diagram. Even if the user does not know how to access the user function, the user function cannot be selected.

As in the latter case, selecting a user function has caused considerable inconvenience in use because the user has to memorize both the basic and detailed function sequences or carry a manual describing the function sequences. .

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for accessing a user function of a multifunction wireless telephone in which a user selects a user function while checking a function sequence by a menu method.

The second object of the present invention is to access the user function of the multi-function wireless telephone which can easily add new user functions by implementing the important functions with high frequency of use as basic functions and separating the temporary or low importance functions into detailed functions. To provide a method.

The third object of the present invention is to implement a function sequence in a menu manner, so that the addition of a new user function can be implemented in proportion to the memory capacity. In providing. The fourth object of the present invention is a quick access mode for accessing a detailed function to be selected immediately in the state of basic functions, and access to a function to be selected while sequentially checking basic functions and detailed functions by a menu method. The present invention provides a user function approach of a multifunctional cordless telephone to selectively use a scroll access mode.

Here, the menu method refers to an environment that allows the user to sequentially select the functions while checking them on the display. According to the present invention for achieving the above object, in the method for accessing user functions of a multifunction wireless telephone having a processor for accessing and processing various functions selectable according to key input and a memory in which information of the functions is stored in a table unit, Displaying a message of a basic function set in a menu table when a function selection key is input by a user, and performing a corresponding basic function or setting in a submenu table according to the presence or absence of a submenu dependent on the selected basic function among the basic functions; Displaying a message of a detailed function, and performing a corresponding detailed function or displaying a message of a detailed function set in the sub-sub menu depending on whether there is a sub-sub menu dependent on the selected detailed function among the detailed functions. Each basic function and detailed function is performed by inputting the execution key. And that is characterized.

In the displaying of the message of the basic function or the detailed function, a step of scrolling up or scrolling down the messages stored in the menu table and the sub-menu table, respectively, may be added.

In the step of displaying the message of the basic function or the detailed function, the scroll up / down of the message is controlled in association with the volume control button.

In addition, the scrolling up / down of the message may be controlled in association with the scrolling up / down key having a repetitive key input function in the step of displaying the message of the basic function or the detailed function.

In the displaying of the basic function or the detailed function message, the scroll up / down of the message may be controlled in association with the function control digit.

In addition, a quick access mode may be added to perform the basic function or the detailed function by the corresponding key input.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

3 shows an example of the structure of a handset to which the user function approach of the multifunction wireless telephone of the present invention is applied.

In FIG. 3, the number of dial digits is the same as that of a conventional cordless telephone, except that the conventional cordless telephone is not additionally formed by the scroll up / down buttons 31a and 31b which can be used in common with the function of the volume control button. Can be applied directly to

For example, the volume control buttons 30a and 30b can be used in common with the scroll up / down buttons.

This is because the scroll up / down button function is necessary only when the wireless telephone is in the function selection mode, and has a volume control function in the call mode such as during a call.

In addition, the digits of the dial ^* digits (32a) and # digit (32b) can be used to scroll up / down button does not function in sintaek mode.

4 is a functional sequence showing the user function approach of the present invention.

First, when the shift key or function key is pressed among the dial digits of the handset, the basic function B1 set among the basic functions B1 to Bn appears in the display, and when the scroll up button is pressed, B2 → B3 → B4. In the order of the default functions (for example, B9), press B8 → B7 → B6…. Will appear in order.

Then, when the execution key is pressed in the state of the basic function, sub-function sub-functions (S1 to Sn) that are subordinate to the corresponding basic function are displayed in a menu manner.

The present invention is implemented to selectively use the quick access mode and the scroll access mode in order to easily access the user function in the multi-function wireless telephone.

That is, by pressing a shift key or a function key and then pressing a digit key corresponding to a desired function, a message of a menu table is displayed as shown in FIG. 6 corresponding to the function assigned to that key. .

Here, if there is no detailed function, the corresponding function is executed by the execution key input by the user, and if there is a detailed function, a message of the submenu table depending on the basic function selected by the digit key pressed by the user is displayed.

In this way, the user access method is set to the quick access mode.

FIG. 6 is a table showing basic functions and detailed functions mapped to a memory, and shows a menu table in which basic functions are arranged, a submenu table and a sub-sub menu table in which detailed functions are arranged.

Each table consists of an index, a message, and a point index.

In the state transition diagram of FIG. 5, the approach according to the present invention is largely divided into the kisscan module 51, the function key processing state 52, the menu processing state 53, the submenu processing state 54, and the function processing state. It is divided into 55.

First, when a function key or a shift key is input from the key scan medium 51, the state transitions to the function key processing state 52.

If a scroll up / down key is input or a certain digit key with a submenu is input, the state transitions to the menu processing state 53 to process the detailed function depending on scrolling.

If a digit key without a submenu is input in the function key processing state 52, the function transitions to the function processing state 55 to process the corresponding function.

In the state transition diagram of FIG. 5A, returning from the menu processing state 53 to the function key processing state 52 means that when the shift key or function key comes in again, the scrolling is abandoned and the user waits for the input of a new function key. do.

The self transition in the menu processing state 53 decreases the point index value when it is up in the menu table of FIG. 6 when the scroll up / down key is input, and decreases the point index value when it is down. Incrementally displays the corresponding functional message and waits for the user's processing in his state.

The transition from the menu processing state 53 to the submenu processing state 54 and the function processing state 55 is a case where the user selects a function and presses an execution key to perform it. The current pointer is indexed, and if there is a submenu, the pointer is moved to the submenu table, and the state transitions to the submenu processing state 54.

If there is no sub menu, the function is performed in the function processing state 55.

On the other hand, in the transition process of the submenu processing state 54, as in the menu scrolling of the menu processing state 53, when the scroll key is input, the pointer index value of the submenu table of FIG. Displays the sub function message and waits for user processing in its own state. Here too, when increasing or decreasing the pointer index value, if the size of the table is exceeded, the pointer index value is rotated to the beginning of the table in the case of an increase and to the end of the table in the case of a decrease, and then rotated. .

However, if an uncertain digit key comes in, it is ignored. The transition from the sub menu processing state 54 to the function processing state 55 is when a execution key is input, in which case the corresponding function is performed.

In addition, as in the concept of the kisscan extension shown in FIG. 7, the scroll up / down keys can be repeated so that the user presses the scroll key continuously for a predetermined time. Keeps updating and displays the corresponding message.

The operation of the present invention based on the state transition diagram is as follows.

As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5B, when a function key or shift key (hereinafter referred to as function selection key) of the radio telephone is input by the user (step S10), a message of basic functions set in the menu table shown in FIG. Display (step S11).

If the function selection key is not input, the function of the corresponding key is processed (step S16).

If there is a submenu (refer to FIG. 6) dependent on the selected basic function while the message of the basic function is displayed, that is, if there are detailed functions belonging to the selected basic function (step S12), the detailed function set in the submenu table is displayed. The message is displayed (step S13).

On the other hand, if there is no submenu dependent on the basic function, the selected basic function is processed (step S17).

In addition, if there is a sub-sub menu subordinate to the sub-function in the state in which the sub-function is output (step S14), the sub-sub menu set in the sub-sub menu table is executed, and if there is no sub-sub menu subordinate to the sub-function. The detailed function displayed in step S13 is processed.

In this way, when accessing the user function in the menu method, if the numeric key is input while the initial basic function, which is the input state of the function selection key, is displayed according to the quick access mode, the basic value corresponding to the numeric key is used. When a function is selected and a numeric key is entered while the submenu's detailed function is displayed, the detailed function corresponding to the numeric key is selected.

In addition, when the basic function is also displayed, when the scroll up / down key is input while the detailed function is displayed, the message set in the menu table or the sub menu table or the sub-sub menu table is increased or decreased by one.

Such scroll access mode is performed in conjunction with a volume control button, a separate scroll up / down key, or an unused function selection key (#, * keys) of the wireless telephone.

Accordingly, the quick access mode and the scroll access mode can be set to be used in common and can be selectively implemented.

The above user functional approach is performed by a processor implemented in the handset, but the program implementing the approach is stored in memory with a table.

As described above, according to the present invention, the conventional functional access method can be used in common between the quick access mode and the scroll access mode, so that the user can access the function quickly and any time, even if the user does not memorize the usage of the function access. It is easy to access from anywhere, and the important thing is the basic function, and the detailed or temporary or less important function has the advantage of making it easy to add a function by separating and implementing it as a sub function (detailed function).

In addition, the present invention is hardly limited in addition to the above functions, and can prevent the user from being confused due to the increase in the functions.
