Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for managing call details in a mobile phone is provided to offer the amount used for calls or the SMS(Short Message Service) for a specific phone number so that a user can efficiently use services for a specific number. CONSTITUTION: In the case of an origination call, a control part confirms whether call time expires. If the call ends, the control part compares the phone number of the present origination call with a specific phone number registered in the phone book. If the phone number of the present origination call is matched with the specific phone number, the control part accumulates the present call time on the previous call time and stores the total call time in a memory. In the case of sending a short message, if the short message is transmitted successfully, the control part compares whether the destination number of the present short message is matched with a specific phone number. If the destination number is matched with the specific phone number, the control part increases the previous frequency of transmission by 1 and stores the total frequency in the memory.

Description

How to manage communication history of mobile terminal {COMMUNICATION ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT METHOD FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a communication history management method.

At present, mobile communication subscribers are provided with a function of displaying the time of a call on the mobile communication terminal itself so as to check their billing status.

In addition, some mobile communication terminals have a function of displaying a talk time by themselves so that the current talk time can be checked.

However, in the related art, it is not possible to know how much a call and a short message are transmitted to a specific person by providing only a total call history or a current call time, not a specific call history.

By the way, the current mobile telecommunication service fee system for a certain number of free or cheap calls, a certain amount of free short message service (SMS) to provide.

Therefore, if a user knows how much a call or SMS has been transmitted for a particular phone number, the user can efficiently use the service.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a communication history management method of a mobile communication terminal invented so that a user can efficiently use a service for a specific number by providing a call amount or SMS transmission amount for a specific phone number in order to improve the conventional problem. There is a purpose.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for managing a phone number of a mobile communication terminal, the method comprising: registering a phone number to use a specific service; Checking whether the number is a number; and if the phone number is registered as above, accumulating the current call time in the previous cumulative call time; and when the user checks the call history of the registered phone number, And displaying the detailed call history.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a schematic block diagram of a mobile communication terminal for an embodiment of the present invention, as shown therein, a control unit 110, a memory 120, a display unit 130, a keypad 140, and an RF unit 150. And a voice processing unit 160.

The controller 110 manages a specific phone number to use a communication service such as a free call or a free SMS transmission while controlling the overall operation of the mobile communication terminal, and provides the call history and the SMS transmission history to the user.

The memory 120 stores a predetermined operation program, a phone book including a specific phone number, and the like.

The display unit 130 displays information such as data transmitted from the controller 110, an operation state, and call history.

The key input unit 140 includes a plurality of alphanumeric keys, function keys, storage keys, volume down / up keys, navigation keys (up, down, left, and right), and inputs currently pressed key data to the controller 110.

The RF unit 150 modulates and demodulates a signal transmitted and received through the antenna ANT through amplification and filtering.

The voice processing unit 160 is controlled by the control unit 110, processes the voice input into the microphone to deliver to the RF unit 150, demodulates the voice data transmitted from the RF unit 150 and outputs through the speaker. .

Referring to the operation and effect of the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a free service provided by a mobile service provider will be described on the assumption of free calls and free SMS transmission.

First, the user registers a specific phone number in the phonebook to use a free service (free call, free SMS transmission). At this time, one or more specific telephone numbers can be registered.

Here, when the specific telephone number registration process is described, the menu screen moves to the call register list screen as shown in FIG. 2 (a), and after selecting the 'special call' menu, the registrant list as shown in FIG. A screen containing the, selection button, and previous button is displayed. Accordingly, the user selects a button to add a list to register, inputs a registrant's name and a phone number on the registrant information input screen, and presses a confirmation key to register it in the phone book. In the above process, as the user selects and inputs a corresponding key in the key input unit 140, the controller 110 displays an operation state on the display unit 130. It is registered in the phone book stored in 120).

Afterwards, whenever an outgoing call or SMS transmission occurs, the controller 110 accumulates a call time or an SMS transmission count and stores the memory in the memory 120 when it is confirmed as a call or SMS transmission with a specific phone number registered in the phone book. do.

This proceeds to the same process as the operation flow chart of Figure 3, when it is divided into the outgoing call and SMS transmission described as follows. In the case of an outgoing call, the call time is measured and the call time ends. Then, when the call is terminated, the controller 110 compares whether the telephone number of the current outgoing call matches a specific telephone number registered in the telephone book. Accordingly, when the phone number of the outgoing call and the specific phone number match, the controller 110 accumulates the current talk time in the previous talk time and stores the total talk time in the memory 120. In the case of SMS transmission, if the SMS transmission is successful, compare whether the current phone number to which the short message is transmitted matches a specific phone number, and if it matches, increase the previous transmission number by '1' and then increase the total number of transmissions. Stored in the memory 120.

Meanwhile, when the user wants to check the usage history of the free service, the user moves to the call register list screen as shown in FIG. 2 (a) on the menu screen, and then selects the 'special call' menu. A screen including a registration button, a selection button, and a previous button is displayed. Accordingly, when a user places a cursor on a desired list of registrants using a navigation key and presses a confirmation key, the controller 110 reads a call history and an SMS transmission history of the registrant stored in the memory 120. FIG. As shown in (c), the details are displayed on the display unit 130.

Here, the call list for each registrant may be displayed on the registrant list display screen so that the usage history of each registrant may be confirmed before checking the detail history. It can also be configured to display how much service time remains.

As described in detail above, the present invention can know how much the amount of call or SMS transmission using a specific communication service for a specific phone number enables efficient use of the service and is convenient for the user to check the usage of the service. There is an effect that can give satisfaction.
