In addition, the call acceptance operation may designate the direction of pattern manipulation (hereinafter referred to as "call connection direction"), or may designate a region to which the end point of pattern manipulation belongs (hereinafter referred to as "call connection region").

If the direction of pattern operation is specified by the call accept operation, if the direction of the input operation on the incoming call screen matches the call connection direction, the user can receive a call. If the call operation does not match, the user can receive the pattern operation input again without receiving a call. .

If the end point of the pattern operation is specified by the call accept operation, if the end point of the input operation on the incoming screen is included in the area designated as the call accept operation, the user receives a call. The pattern manipulation input can be received again.

The setting unit 230 may include a storage unit 231, a setting screen transmission unit 233, an effective time setting unit 235, and an emergency contact setting unit 237.

The storage unit 231 serves to store the modified icon and the preset call accept operation and allowable number of times.

The modified icon is an icon including the modified information indicating the reason for the call as described above.

In addition, the allowable number means a number of times of receiving a valid pattern operation from the user, and if the pattern operation corresponding to the call accept operation is not input until the allowable number is exceeded, the rejection processing unit 240 may reject the call.

The setting screen display unit 233 displays a screen for setting the call accept operation on the mobile terminal 170_n, and the call accept operation input from the user on the setting screen is stored in the storage unit 231. The call accepting operation may be either a call connection direction or a call connection area.

In addition, a direction indicator line may be further displayed on a setting screen for setting a call connection direction, and a candidate area may be further displayed on a setting screen for setting a call connection area.

In addition, the call acceptance operation may be set identically for all the contacts stored in the address book of the terminal, or may be set for each individual contact or individual contact group.

Herein, the individual contact means each number stored in the address book, and the individual contact group means a group of address books grouped by a certain standard.

When setting the call acceptance operation for each individual contact or individual contact group, the storage unit 231 may store the contact or contact group and the call acceptance operation information corresponding thereto.

The valid time setting unit 235 sets and stores a time (hereinafter referred to as "valid time") until a valid pattern operation is input after the touch operation.

In addition, the emergency contact setting unit 237 maintains a preset emergency contact information so that a person other than the owner can receive the call.

The release processing unit 250 may include an emergency contact execution unit 251 and a switching unit 253.

The emergency contact execution unit 231 may release a call security function or display a general call reception screen when a call is received from an emergency contact stored in the emergency contact setting unit 237.

When the secure call function is released, a call can be received when an operation is input from a user regardless of the position of the touch operation, the direction of the pattern operation, or the end point of the pattern operation.

In addition, in the general call reception screen, the call icon is dragged in the direction set by the manufacturer to receive a call. In general, a method of receiving a call by dragging the call icon in the direction of the call termination icon is used.

In addition, preset call mode information and emergency contact information corresponding thereto may be stored in the emergency contact setting unit 237, including whether to release the call security function or display the general call incoming screen.

The rejection processing unit 270 functions to reject a call that the user does not want.

If the pattern manipulation is not input during the validity time stored in the validity time setting unit 235 after receiving the touch manipulation from the user, the call may be rejected.

Such a valid time is preferably between 1 second and 3 seconds. If it is set shorter than 1 second, an unintended call rejection may occur. If it is set longer than 3 seconds, it may take a long time for the call rejection.

Further, even when a pattern manipulation in the horizontal direction is input from the user, the call can be rejected.

In addition, the call can be rejected even when a pattern operation that does not match the preset call acceptance operation is input until the allowable number of times stored in the storage unit 231 is exceeded.

This allowance is preferably 3 to 5 times in order to prevent unintentional call rejection and to reduce the number of attempts by users other than the owner to accept the call.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a method for displaying a reason for transmission on an incoming call screen according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, in the display method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the input unit 153 receives the call icon information selected by the calling terminal (S310). Thereafter, the incoming call display unit 211 transmits the call icon information received in step S310 to the receiving terminal 170_2 (S320). In addition, the calling terminal 170_1 transmits a call request signal to the base station (S330), and the base station transmits a call request signal to the receiving terminal 170_2 (S340). When the call request signal is transmitted to the receiving terminal 170_2, the call icon information input in step S310 is displayed on the receiving terminal, and the user of the receiving terminal checks the call icon information displayed on the incoming screen and accepts the call so that the call can be made. It becomes (S350). In addition, during the call, the service server 110 checks whether or not the display information is changed and checks whether the display information is updated in the receiving terminal 170_2 when the change occurs, and if not, the receiving terminal 170_2. The display information is updated at step S360.

Such call icon information may include caller information, receiver information, and information on a call icon type. The call icon form may be one of the modified icons including the deformation type indicating the basic type or the reason for the call set by the terminal manufacturer. In addition, the modified information may be pre-stored in at least one device of the mobile terminal 170_n or the service server 110 to select an icon corresponding to the situation in the calling terminal 170_1, and transmit information other than the stored modified information. In order to do so, the user may receive deformation information. The modified icon including the modified information selected from the stored modified information or input by the user may be displayed on the receiving terminal 170_2.

In addition to the deformation information, the text may be additionally displayed on the incoming screen of the receiving terminal 170_2. Such text may be selected from texts previously stored in one or more devices of the mobile terminal 170_n or the service server 110, and may be directly input by a user of the calling terminal 170_1.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a method for setting a call accept operation according to an embodiment of the present invention.

This call accept operation setting will be described on the assumption that it is made in the receiving terminal 170_2.

Referring to FIG. 4, in the setting method according to an embodiment of the present invention, after selecting a contact or a contact group for setting a call acceptance operation by the user (S410), an individual setting is selected (S420). In this case, the contact means an individual number stored in the address book, and the contact group means a group of contacts grouped by a schedule. In addition, the above step can be omitted when setting the same call accept operation for all contacts.

After selecting whether to set a call connection area or a call connection direction by the call accept operation (S430), the setting screen display unit 233 outputs the call accept operation setting screen to the display device of the receiving terminal 170_2. . The call accept operation setting screen outputs a call icon, and when a call connection direction is designated as a call accept operation, further outputs a direction indicator line (S435). There is (S440).

The user receives a pattern manipulation from the user (S450) and stores the pattern manipulation as a call accepting operation in the storage unit 231 (S480).

In order to confirm the call acceptance operation, the pattern manipulation may be input again a plurality of times. The pattern manipulation is input again from the user between steps S450 and S480 (S460), and the pattern manipulation received in step S450 and the pattern input in step S460. By comparing the operations (S470), if they do not coincide with each other, the pattern manipulation may be input again, and if the patterns match, the pattern manipulation may be stored in the storage unit 231 as a call accepting operation (S480).

In the storing of the call accept operation in the storage unit, the contact or the contact group designated in step S410 may be stored together.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for setting an emergency contact according to an embodiment of the present invention.

If you lose your mobile terminal, such as a smartphone, it is desirable to set the method to release the call security function so that others can receive the call.

As shown in the figure, when the mobile terminal is lost, an emergency contact for contacting the lost mobile terminal may be selected or input from the address book (S510). At this time, more than one emergency contact can be set. Thereafter, the incoming mode of the call received from the emergency contact is selected (S520). Incoming mode can be selected between normal call mode and call security release mode. When the general call mode is selected, the general call incoming screen is displayed and the call icon can be dragged to the side to receive a call. In addition, when the call security release mode is selected, a call can be received when an operation is input from a user regardless of the position of the touch operation, the direction of the pattern operation, or the end point of the pattern operation. When the emergency contact and the incoming call mode are input by the user, the incoming call mode corresponding to the emergency contact and the emergency contact is stored in the emergency contact setting unit 237 (S530).

6A is a flowchart for explaining the steps before the call security function is executed, and FIG. 6B is a flowchart for explaining the steps after the call security function is executed.

When the call signal is received as shown in the figure, the phone number and the emergency contact registered in the emergency contact setting unit 237 is collated (S610). As a result of the check, if the called number matches the registered emergency contact number, it is checked whether the incoming call mode registered in the emergency call execution unit 251 of the release processing unit 250 is a general call mode or a call security release mode (S611). In the call mode, the normal call screen is output (S621), and in the call security release mode, the call security function is released (S612), and regardless of the position of the touch operation, the direction of the pattern operation, or the end point of the pattern operation. If the operation is input from (S613), the call is received.

If the called number does not match the pre-registered emergency contact, the storage unit 231 of the setting unit 230 checks whether the call security function is the entire setting (S615), if not the entire setting is individually set number Check again (S620). If the number is not set individually, the general call screen is displayed (S621), and the call can be received.

If the call security function is set for all the contacts, or if the called number belongs to a contact or contact group set individually, the call security function is executed in the acceptance processing unit 213.

When the secure call button function is executed, the call icon selected by the calling terminal is output (not shown). In a situation in which a call icon is output, a touch manipulation is input from the user (S625). In this case, the touch operation means that a user's hand or a stylus pen touches the touch screen of the mobile terminal. After the touch operation is input, it is checked whether the valid time has elapsed until the pattern operation stored in the valid time setting unit 235 is input (S630). If no operation is input during the effective time, the call is rejected by the rejection processing unit 270. Reject (S631).

If the pattern manipulation is input within the valid time after the touch manipulation is input (S635), it is checked whether the pattern manipulation in the horizontal direction is performed (S640). If the first pattern operation is a pattern operation in the horizontal direction, the call is rejected (S631). If the first pattern operation is not in the horizontal direction, the call is not compared with the call acceptance operation stored in the storage unit 231 (S645). If not, it is checked whether the number of pattern manipulation inputs exceeds the allowable number (S650). If the allowed number of times is exceeded, the call is rejected (S631). If the number of times is allowed, the call can be input again from the touch operation. If the input pattern operation and the call accept operation match, the call is received by receiving a call (S660).
