1 is a configuration diagram showing the overall configuration of the home network and roaming network in order to explain the present invention schematically.

Referring to FIG. 1, a home network 100 and a roaming network 170 are illustrated. The home network 100 is a mobile communication network or mobile terminal in which a mobile communication terminal 120 subscribes to a mobile communication service and receives a service. Means a network system.

The roaming network 170 (Roaming Network) refers to a mobile communication network or a mobile communication network system of a separate operator that the mobile communication terminal 120 can be used in addition to the home network 100 in accordance with a contract with the home network 100 operator.

The home network 100 is a switch 102 (Mobile Switch Center) (MSC), a home location register (104) (HLR: Home Location Register), SMSC (106) (Short Message Service Center), VMS (Voice or Video Mail Service) Device 108, IPGS 110 (Interconnection Protocol Gateway System).

The switch 102 is the center of the network and its main function is to exchange a call between a mobile communication terminal 120 and a fixed communication network terminal (not shown) such as a public switched telephone network (PSTN) and an integrated service digital network (ISDN). to provide. The exchange 102 exchanges information with HLR and Visitor Location Resistor (VLR) to provide the ability to exchange these calls.

The HLR 104 is a kind of database that stores the location information of the subscribers of the mobile communication network, and the types, basic services, and additional services of the mobile communication terminals 120 and 190 are registered. In the case of the roaming terminal 120, the HLR 104 is registered as a roaming service subscriber. The HLR 104 performs an information providing function in conjunction with an exchange 102, an SMSC 106, a customer center (not shown), and the like. The VLR (not shown) may be included in the switch 102 as a database that temporarily stores management information of the mobile communication terminals 120 and 190 in the area controlled by the switch 102. The SMSC 106 is a call processing apparatus that transmits a short message in conjunction with the exchange 102 or transmits additional information such as weather information and securities information to the mobile communication terminal.

Although not shown in FIG. 1, it is apparent that the home network 100 or the roaming network 170 may further include a base transceiver system (BTS), a base station controller (BSC), and the like.

Referring to FIG. 1, the roaming network 170 also includes the same mobile communication network configuration as the home network 100. However, in some cases, the roaming network 170 may have a mobile communication network configuration different from that of the home network 100 (for example, the home network 100 is a wide code division multiple access (WCDMA) network and the roaming network 170). In the case of a Global System for Mobile Telecommunications (GSM) network, the apparatus and system for performing the above-described functions are also included. Hereinafter, it is assumed that the roaming network 170 also has the same name as the home network 100.

All data such as multimedia messages sent from the home network 100 pass through the IPGS 110 in the form of a circuit, and pass through the international circuit 150 installed in the middle of the home network 100 and the roaming network 170 to the roaming network 170. Is sent. Therefore, if the home network 100 and the roaming network 170 are negotiated about the roaming service, all data of the home network 100 may be transmitted to the roaming network 170. However, data is transmitted between the home network 100 and the roaming network 170 through the international circuit 150 in a circuit format, and is only an embodiment of the present invention. Of course, data may be transmitted between the 100 and the roaming network 170.

When the mobile communication terminal 120 enters the roaming network, the location registration of the mobile communication terminal is located between the home network 100 and the roaming network 170 to perform protocol conversion between networks using different protocols, and thus between different networks. It can be performed through the International Roaming Gateway System (IRGS) that allows data to be sent and received. That is, the HLRs 104 and 174 of the home network 100 and the roaming network 170 are connected to the home terminal 120 and the roaming terminal through IRGS (International Roaming Gateway System 110 and 180) performing subscriber management for service subscribers. The location registration information of 120 may be exchanged.

In this case, the mobile communication terminal 120 receives roaming network identification information from the roaming network. The roaming network identification information is a code for identifying a country of the roaming network or a region of the roaming network, and may be, for example, a country code or a PLMN code. Therefore, the mobile communication terminal can recognize which country has entered the roaming network.

2 is a diagram illustrating a procedure in which a mobile communication terminal entering a roaming network performs a method of resetting a usage menu according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the mobile communication terminal 120 receives roaming network identification information while entering the roaming network 170. For example, when the mobile communication terminal 120 enters the United States, when receiving the roaming network identification information from the mobile communication system of the United States may include information indicating that the United States.

The mobile communication terminal 170 reads a roaming menu corresponding to the roaming network identification information from the storage. The roaming menu may be stored in a storage unit of the mobile communication terminal 120 in advance for each roaming network region. That is, an addition is previously stored in the storage unit at the time of shipment of the mobile communication terminal 120, or separately included in the mobile communication system of the home network 100 before the mobile communication terminal 120 enters the roaming network 170. It can be downloaded from a service device (not shown).

However, the home menu 100 may be omitted or may be displayed in a lower order in the use menu output to the mobile communication terminal 120.

According to another method of resetting the use menu of the present invention, the roaming menu request message may be transmitted from the roaming network 170 to the home network 100 after step S200, and the additional service device of the home network 100 may be described with reference to FIG. 1. As described above, the roaming menu requested through the IRGS (International Roaming Gateway System) can be transmitted.

In this case, the roaming menu request message may include roaming identification information, and the additional service device of the home network 100 may classify the region as roaming network identification information and include a roaming menu including currency information and accommodation information of the region. Can be transmitted. The configuration of the roaming menu will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4.

Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S210, the mobile communication terminal 120 includes a roaming menu corresponding to the roaming network identification information in the use menu. If the roaming menu is already included in the lower order in the use menu in the home network 100, step S210 may be omitted.

The mobile communication terminal 120 changes the priority of the use menu to roaming priority. Roaming priority means that the above-mentioned priority of the roaming menu is higher. That is, when a user uses the mobile communication terminal 120 in a roaming network area, a roaming menu including roaming network area information is output to a higher level than the SHOW menu or the subway route table of the electronic notebook on the existing use menu. For example, when the user searches for "menu", the roaming menu may be first outputted according to the roaming priority, and then the user may be switched to another menu by the user's button manipulation.

Accordingly, the mobile communication terminal 120 changes the priority of the use menu, including the roaming menu.

Afterwards, when the user presses the user's " menu " button or a separate " pop-up menu " button, the mobile communication terminal 120 outputs a usage menu whose priority is changed in step S220. Therefore, the roaming menu is output to the top, and the user can easily use the information necessary in the roaming network 170 area.

Further, according to the method of resetting the use menu according to another embodiment of the present invention, after step S230, a sub-roaming menu input is received from the user.

That is, the user may write local information acquired directly while working in the roaming network 170 area by using the “memo” function of the mobile communication terminal 120. Thereafter, when the user wants to output the memo including the roaming area information through the above-described submenu, the user registers the memo as the subroaming menu.

That is, a separate submenu called "sub roaming menu registration" may exist below the roaming menu output from FIG. Therefore, the user may input to register a memo input directly through the menu of "sub roaming menu registration" described above.

Accordingly, the mobile communication terminal 120 may register the sub-roaming menu input by the user in the roaming menu and output it again.

In addition, according to another embodiment of the present invention, when the mobile communication terminal 120 enters the home network again from the roaming network, the user menu reset according to the above-described roaming network priority may be reset again for the home network priority. Can be. Home network priority will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3.

3 is a diagram illustrating a usage menu output from a home network to a mobile communication terminal.

First, referring to FIG. 3, a menu output from the mobile communication terminal 120 is illustrated. It is assumed that the usage menu shown in FIG. 3 is a menu displayed on the home network 100. However, it is obvious that the configuration or structure of the use menu may be different depending on the type of the mobile communication terminal 120.

The usage menu may include main theme menus such as Show, Phonebook, Message, Organizer, Entertainment, Sound, etc. The main theme menu may have home network priorities set.

For example, the priority is set to "Show" main theme menu first priority, "Phone Book" main theme menu second priority, "Message" main theme menu three priority, etc. Is displayed. The priority may be determined by the user's usage frequency and importance in the mobile communication terminal 120, and may be set in advance for each main theme menu in the storage unit.

The main theme menu is displayed on a block-by-block basis in which only the main theme menu is arranged from the top left to the bottom right according to the priority, and the main theme menu may be selected by a user's key button input. In addition, the main theme menu may be displayed in a tree structure.

When the user selects "Show" from the main theme menu, one or more submenus are output to the display unit of the mobile communication terminal 120. For example, a submenu attached to the main theme menu of “Show” may include submenus such as customer center / fare inquiry, additional services, Show members card, and Show Internet.

However, the priority and configuration of the menu may be directly reset according to a habit or frequency of using the mobile communication terminal 120, or may be set to be displayed by a separate key button or a hot key. For example, a main theme menu or a sub menu shown in FIG. 3 may be set according to a priority of the user through a setting function of the user's own menu and set as a background screen of the mobile communication terminal 120.

The configuration and priority of the above-described use menu are described based on the case where the user uses the mobile communication terminal 120 in the home network 100.

However, when the user uses the mobile communication terminal 120 abroad, that is, the roaming service is received. In this case, the user menu used in the home network 100 needs to be modified.

Therefore, according to the method for resetting the use menu of the present invention described above with reference to FIG. 2, a roaming menu composed of local information of the roaming network is added to output a new use menu rearranged.

4 and 5 is a view showing the result of the use menu rearrangement method applied according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, it can be seen that a roaming menu called “roaming information” is included as a first order, and the main theme menus shown in FIG. 3 are pushed one by one. Therefore, since the roaming menu is output at the highest level while the mobile communication terminal 120 is used, the user can easily use the local information of the roaming network.

The submenu of the roaming menu may include a submenu such as emergency contact information, transportation, accommodation, conversational expressions, currency value, and climate information. However, the type of the submenu is not limited thereto, and it is obvious that the submenu may further include other submenus according to the configuration of the roaming menu.

Referring to FIG. 5, when the user selects one submenu of the roaming menus that are rearranged and displayed, the roaming area information output from each submenu is shown. For example, the regional information registered in the "emergency contact" is stored in the mobile communication terminal 120 such as the Korean consulate, terminal service center, police station, fire department, hospital.

Therefore, when the user selects the "emergency contact" from the displayed roaming menu, and selects "Korean Consulate", the location and phone number of the Korean consulate are output to the mobile communication terminal 120.

However, the user may add roaming network area information which is directly collected while working in the roaming network area 170. For example, in a restaurant that a user accidentally visits, the phone number and location of the restaurant can be entered as a new roaming information in the "emergency contact" section of the roaming menu.

Alternatively, the user takes a picture of the restaurant by using the camera included in the mobile communication terminal 120 together with the restaurant's phone number and location, saves it first, and then selects "emergency contact" through the reset menu. Through a separate input menu, it is possible to store photos and contacts stored in the mobile communication terminal 120.

Although the above has been described with reference to the embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may variously modify and modify the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the claims below. It will be appreciated that it can be changed.
