Description

Method for displaying received and sent by cumulative number of times of use on mobile phone {on display number of times in mobile phone}

The present invention provides a method for displaying received and sent telephone numbers in a mobile phone, and more particularly, accumulates the number of received or sent telephone numbers in order of accumulating the telephone numbers and the number thereof in the received or sent list. The number of phone numbers that have been displayed or received after a certain period of time has been deleted, so that the frequency of recent reception and outgoing can be known. By displaying, it is easy to find important phone numbers with a large number of incoming and outgoing calls.If the received or outgoing phone numbers are already stored in the incoming or outgoing list, the number of incoming and outgoing calls is accumulated without displaying them repeatedly. Increase the number of received and outgoing phone numbers to make the most of your phone's storage. It is about.

Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, any one or more of the reception list and the outgoing list are defined as "phone usage list", and one or more of the reception frequency and the outgoing frequency are defined as "phone usage frequency".

In the conventional mobile phone, the display method of receiving and calling simply stores the most recently received or sent telephone number in the first position of the telephone usage list so that the previously stored telephone number is pushed back one by one and the stored telephone number is If the number exceeds the storage capacity of the phone, the oldest received or outgoing phone number is deleted in order. For example, if 011-111-2222 is stored in the reception list number 1 of the user's mobile phone and the telephone number of 02-123-4567 is received, the 02-123-4567 phone number is the number 1 in the reception list. 011-111-2222, which was stored at location 1 and stored at location 1, is stored at the location 2 in Millier 2 after one number.

The number of reception and transmission histories that can be memorized by the user's mobile phone varies depending on the mobile phone, but usually stores 20 to 40 reception and transmission histories. In a general mobile phone, when a new reception or transmission history is stored in the phone usage list, the reception or transmission history stored at the end is deleted. If this deleted call or call history is a very important phone number (eg 011-222-3333) for the user, the user will not want the phone number to be deleted. In addition, users may receive or send many times more than other general phone numbers because this 011-222-3333 phone number is very important. However, the reception or outgoing display method that simply remembers the reception or outgoing history by time, even if the number of the same number has been received or originated, if the other telephone number has recently been received or originated, the order is inevitably pushed back. Since this out-of-order phone number is not located at the top of the reception or origination history, many keystrokes are required to retrieve the reception or origination history.

For example, if a user dials 011-222-3333 and wants to call 011-222-3333 again after several other phone numbers, the user dialed 011-222-3333 last time. Since the location of 011-222-3333 phone number is determined in the calling list according to how many other phone numbers have been called afterwards, many keystrokes are required to search for the 011-222-3333 phone number in the calling list. Required.

In addition, in the conventional method of displaying a reception and an outgoing call in a mobile phone, when receiving or sending the same number repeatedly, a number occupies a large number of places in the telephone usage list, so that space for storing another incoming or outgoing call number is stored. Will be reduced.

An example of a conventional call display device is as follows.

Figure 1 shows a conventional call list sorting the call list according to the call time.

FIG. 1A illustrates a user's mobile phone call list stored for each time when a user makes one call to a telephone number of 019-444-5555, 017-333-4444, and 011-222-3333 in order. .

FIG. 1B shows that when a user calls 016-555-6666, which is a telephone number in the call list of FIG. Shows the stored user's mobile phone call list.

In the call list of FIG. 1B, when the user re-sends the second call log number 011-222-3333, the call list is changed as shown in FIG. 1C, and another call number 011-333-5567 is sent in the state of FIG. 1C. As shown in FIG. 1D, the user's mobile phone call list is changed. Afterwards, if the user tries to call 011-222-3333, the call history of this phone number will be pushed to other phone numbers in time and go to 2, 4, and 011-222-3333 will be displayed in the call history. It occupies two positions. If the user dialed the number 011-222-3333 ten times, the call history occupied by the telephone number occupies ten positions. This makes it difficult to store many kinds of outgoing telephone numbers because it occupies a lot of locations where other outgoing records will be stored.

The prior art for solving this problem is known from the domestic application 10-1997-034624. The method of managing a last call management list of a mobile communication terminal described in Korean Application No. 10-1997-034624 is a mobile terminal which searches for and displays a corresponding telephone number of a last call registered in advance in a last call search request of a user and displays them in a predetermined order. In the communication terminal, when the call is made, the first process of determining whether the corresponding telephone number of the originated call is already registered in the last call management list; and if the telephone number is already registered, A second step of increasing the number of outgoing calls and updating the telephone number in the last call management list with the increased result; comparing the size of the registered call counts and reordering and sorting the last call management list according to the comparison result. As a result, a third process of registering the last call management list is characterized.

2 is a flowchart of a method for managing a last call management list of a mobile communication terminal described in Korean Application No. 10-1997-034624.

Referring to FIG. 2, when the mobile communication terminal enters the standby state, the mobile terminal determines whether a foot signal is input in step 210. If the foot signal is output, the foot signal input in step 220 is a foot signal present in the last call list. Investigate sequentially. If the incoming call is present in the last call list, in step 230, the call count of the last call list is added to 1 and the usage time is updated in step 240, and the last call list is newly sorted according to the call count in step 240. In addition, if the input call signal does not exist in the last call list, in step 260, the controller checks whether there is an empty address in the last call list, and if there is an empty address, stores information about the call signal in step 270, and if there is no empty address, The information on the originating signal is not stored.

The stored information of the last call list may be processed to be deleted when a certain amount is exceeded, similar to the stored information of the last call management list. The information of a typical last call management list is to delete the oldest stored phone number when a certain number of phone numbers are stored. In the present invention, likewise, when a predetermined number of phone numbers are stored, the phone with the least number of calls is made. You can delete the number.

As such, according to Korean Application No. 10-1997-034624, if there is no empty address in the calling list, the information on the calling telephone number cannot be stored. There is a lot of inconvenience because it does not contain information. Also, when deleting a stored phone number, it is configured to delete the phone number with the lowest total number of callers so far without considering the recent call frequency. Even if it is, it may be deleted.

In addition, if the user does not want to sort the telephone usage list according to the number of times of use, but wants to sort the telephone usage list in the order of incoming and outgoing times, it is inconvenient to use because the user can not select arbitrarily about this. have.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and in order to display the list of received and sent telephone numbers of the mobile phone, the number of received and sent numbers are stored and received and sent together with the telephone numbers in order of increasing number. It displays the number of times received and saves detailed information such as received and sent time, phone number and user's name, and deletes the telephone number that has been a certain time since received and sent. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method of displaying and receiving an incoming call by cumulative number of times in a mobile phone, which can be stored in the mobile phone and can obtain more various information through a telephone usage list.

The present invention is a method for displaying a received or sent telephone number and the number of times of use in a cellular phone designed to achieve the above object, and when the received or sent is made, the received or sent telephone number is already stored in a telephone usage list. A step 1 of determining whether it is done; If the phone number is already stored in the phone usage list, the phone number of the phone number is accumulated. If the phone number is not stored, the phone number and the number of the phone number are stored in an empty address of the phone list. Two steps of newly registering; A third number that compares the number of phone usages of all the phone numbers in the phone usage list, displays the phone number and the number of phone calls in descending order according to the number of phone usages, and displays the most recently sent or received phone number first. Steps; And a fourth step of updating and storing the telephone use list in the third step as a new telephone use list. In the second step, if there is no empty address in the telephone usage list, the telephone number located at the bottom of the telephone usage list is deleted to create an empty address. Register and store, and when comparing the number of times of telephone usage in the third step, when the number of telephone usage is the same, the telephone number having the most recently received or outgoing history is placed in an upper position. In addition, when one telephone number is selected from the list of telephone usages arranged through the above process, one or more detailed information among the corresponding telephone number, the latest reception and transmission time, the number of telephone usages, and the user name are displayed.

When the user of the mobile phone displaying the telephone usage list by the method of the present invention sets a predetermined time in the mobile telephone, the history of the telephone number past the set time after being received or sent to the telephone usage list is deleted and the telephone usage is used. In the number display, only the number of times received or sent within the set time is displayed. In addition, the mobile phone can convert the conventional method of displaying the telephone usage list in the order of reception or origination time and the method of displaying the telephone usage list according to claim 1 according to a user's selection. It is provided.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 is a block diagram of a mobile communication terminal to which the present invention is applied, the controller 310 controls the overall operation of the mobile communication terminal, and the memory 320 controls a predetermined program for controlling the overall operation of the mobile communication terminal. The controller 310 stores data input and output and various data processed when the overall operation of the mobile communication terminal is performed by the controller 310. In addition, the memory 320 stores a telephone usage list and sorts the telephone usage list by referring to the number of telephone usage times. The interface unit 330 interfaces data input and output between the controller 310 and peripheral components of the controller 310. The transmitter / receiver 340 receives and transmits the filtered, amplified wireless signal input through the antenna under the control of the controller 310 through the interface unit 330. The key input unit 350 includes a plurality of numeric keys, and generates corresponding key data when the user presses a predetermined key and outputs the corresponding key data to the controller 310. The display unit 360 includes a liquid crystal display for displaying various types of information, and is controlled by the controller 310, and receives and displays key data generated by the key input unit 350 and various information signals of the controller 310.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of displaying an outgoing call list for each cumulative number according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

When the phone number is sent from the key input unit 350 in step 410, the dialed phone number is input to the controller 310. In step 420, the controller 310 determines whether the dialed phone number exists in the calling list. . If the outgoing phone number exists in the outgoing list, the number of outgoing calls is increased to the corresponding outgoing phone number history of the outgoing list in step 430, and the phone numbers in the outgoing list are sorted according to the outgoing number in step 440. If they are the same, the calling time is updated and the calling time is updated in order of the latest calling time. In step 450, the inputted outgoing telephone number and the outgoing time are displayed at the top of the outgoing list.

If the outgoing phone number does not exist in the outgoing list when it is determined in step 420 whether the outgoing phone number exists in the outgoing list, the controller 310 determines whether there is an empty address in the outgoing list. If it is determined that there is an empty address in the calling list, in step 470, the phone number entered in the empty address of the calling list is entered, and the process proceeds to step 440. In step 460, if there is no empty address in the calling list, in step 480, After deleting the lowest phone number to create a blank address in the calling list and proceeds to step 470.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a call list update process according to an embodiment of the present invention.

5a shows the user making five times to 011-222-3333, four times to 017-333-4444, three times to 016-444-5555, two times to 018-555-6666, and one to 019-777-8888. Shows the calling list that appears when calling. The numbers next to each phone number indicate the cumulative number, and the 011-222-3333 phone number in the 0th order is the most recent phone number, indicating that the call was made at 11 am.

FIG. 5B shows a call list that is changed when a call is made to the telephone number 017-333-4444 at 11:30 am in the state of FIG. 5A. Phone numbers 017-333-4444 and 011-222-3333 have the same number of outgoing calls, but when compared to the most recently received time, the order of incoming calls is faster because the number of the phone is later. Since the phone number sent to is 017-333-4444, the updated call time is displayed with 017-333-4444 phone number in the 0th order.

5C illustrates a case in which the order of outgoing telephone numbers does not change even when several outgoing calls are made to a new telephone number when several telephone numbers having a high number of outgoing calls are stored in the outgoing list. Since the phone numbers in the first to fourth order all have more than 22 outgoing calls, only the 019-777-8888 phone number in the 5th order is sent 20 times in a row. . Therefore, in order to prevent this, if the user sets a certain time such as a constant 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, the history of the telephone number sent before the set time is deleted and the call is made within the set time even when the number of calls is indicated. Only display the number of outgoing calls for a phone number. In addition, the time setting to delete the outgoing telephone number and the number of times to be set in the setting menu of the user's mobile phone.

5D shows a detailed information list showing detailed information on the selected outgoing call number when the user selects one outgoing call number from the outgoing list. At this time, the information displayed in the detailed information list includes the selected outgoing phone number, the latest outgoing time, and the number of outgoing calls, and the selected outgoing phone number of the user if the selected outgoing phone number is stored in the phonebook of the user's mobile phone. do.

Since the reception list displaying method and the updating process according to the embodiment of the present invention are the same as the above-mentioned calling list displaying method, the drawing list of the receiving list displaying method by cumulative number and the updating process and the description thereof are omitted.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated in detail using the preferable embodiment, the scope of the present invention is not limited to a specific embodiment and should be interpreted by the attached claim. In addition, those skilled in the art should understand that many modifications and variations are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention.
