본 발명은 이동통신 단말기의 단문 메시지 발신방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 단문 메시지 전송 절차를 음성 통화시의 통화 절차와 같게 함으로써, 사용자에게 메시지 전송에 거부감을 느끼지 않고 사용법을 쉽게 습득할 수 있도록 하며, 단문 메시지 전송 절차를 간소화하여 전송 시간 단축 및 사용자의 편의성을 향상시킬 수 있도록 하는 이동통신 단말기의 단문 메시지 발신방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method for transmitting a short message in a mobile communication terminal, and in particular, by making a short message transmission procedure the same as a call procedure during a voice call, the user can easily learn the usage without feeling a sense of rejection in the message transmission. The present invention relates to a method for transmitting a short message of a mobile communication terminal, which can simplify a message transmission procedure and shorten a transmission time and improve user convenience.
최근 이동통신 단말기의 보급이 증가하여 1인 1전화 시대가 되면서, 가정이나 사무실 내의 유선방식 일반전화를 이용한 통화 횟수보다, 이동통신 단말기를 이용한 통화 횟수가 점차 증가되고 있는 상황이다.Recently, as the spread of mobile communication terminals has increased, the number of calls using mobile communication terminals is gradually increasing, compared to the number of calls using wired general telephones in homes or offices.
일반적으로, 전화 통화를 할 경우에는 메모를 해야될 경우가 발생하는데, 특히 업무적으로 사용하는 전화 이외에 개인적으로 직접 연락이 가능한 전화번호를 메모하는 경우가 많이 있다.In general, when making a phone call, it is necessary to take notes. In particular, there are many cases in which a phone number can be directly contacted in addition to a telephone used for work.
이에 따라, 가정이나 사무실 내에서 전화통화를 할 경우에는, 대부분 전화기 옆에 필기도구와 메모지를 구비하고 있는 경우가 많으며, 따라서 통화중 메모할 상황이 발생하더라도 큰 문제가 발생하지 않는다.Accordingly, when making a telephone call in a home or an office, a writing tool and a memo paper are often provided beside the telephone, so that even if a situation to take notes during a call does not occur, a great problem does not occur.
그러나, 이동통신 단말기의 경우는 도보나 교통수단에 의해 특정 지역을 이동하는 중에 전화를 받는 경우가 많이 있기 때문에, 필기도구와 메모지를 구비하지 못할 경우가 많이 있다.However, in the case of a mobile communication terminal, many people receive a phone call while moving to a specific area by walking or transportation, and thus, there are many cases in which writing instruments and note papers are not provided.
따라서, 상기와 같이 이동통신 단말기를 이용한 통화중에 전화번호 등 메모할 사항이 발생할 경우는, 상대측이 불러주는 전화번호를 암기하고 있다가 통화가 끝난 후 암기한 전화번호를 단말기의 메모리 기능을 이용하여 저장해야 하는 불편함이 있었다.Therefore, when a memo such as a phone number occurs during a call using the mobile communication terminal as described above, the memorized phone number is memorized by the other party. There was an inconvenience to save.
그런데, 최근 이동통신 단말기에는 음성통화뿐만 아니라 단문 메시지 전송기능을 모두 구비하고 있으며, 전달할 내용이 간단한 경우나 음성통화가 불가능할 경우에는, 음성통화 보다는 단문 메시지를 이용하는 편이 훨씬 편리하고, 요금을 절약할 수 있기 때문에 그 사용이 점점 증가되고 있는 상황이다.However, recent mobile communication terminals are equipped with both a short message transmission function as well as a voice call, and when the content to be transmitted is simple or the voice call is impossible, it is much more convenient to use the short message than the voice call and save the charge. Its use is increasing.
종래의 일반적인 단문 메시지 전송 방법을 살펴보면 다음과 같다.A conventional short message transmission method is as follows.
사용자가 단문 메시지를 전송하기 위해서는, 단말기에 구비된 단문 메시지 전송(SMS) 기능키(미도시)를 누르고, "메시지 전송(또는 발신)" 메뉴를 선택한다.In order to transmit a short message, the user presses a short message transmission (SMS) function key (not shown) provided in the terminal and selects a "message transmission (or origination)" menu.
다음, 수신 번호와 회신 번호를 차례로 입력한 후, "새로운 메시지" 메뉴를 선택하여 메시지 내용을 작성하고, "전송" 버튼을 누르면 수신측 단말기로 전송이 이루어진다.Next, after inputting the reception number and the reply number, select the "new message" menu to compose the message contents, and press the "send" button to transmit to the receiving terminal.
상기와 같이, 메시지 전송 절차는 일반적인 음성 통화 절차와는 달리, 거쳐야 하는 절차가 많고, 그 순서에 있어서도 음성 통화 절차와 많은 차이가 있기 때문에, 사용이 불편하여 중장년층 사용자로부터 단문 메시지 전송 서비스가 외면을 받는 문제점이 있다.As described above, unlike the general voice call procedure, the message transmission procedure has many procedures and differs from the voice call procedure in that order. There is a problem.
따라서, 본 발명은 상기와 같은 종래의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 창출한 것으로, 단문 메시지 전송 절차를 음성 통화시의 통화 절차와 같게 함으로써, 사용자에게 메시지 전송에 거부감을 느끼지 않고 사용법을 쉽게 습득할 수 있도록 하며, 단문 메시지 전송 절차를 간소화하여 전송 시간 단축 및 사용자의 편의성을 향상시킬 수 있도록 하는 이동통신 단말기의 단문 메시지 발신방법을 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.Therefore, the present invention has been created to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and by making the short message transmission procedure the same as the call procedure in the voice call, the user can easily learn the usage without feeling rejection in the message transmission. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a method for transmitting a short message of a mobile communication terminal, which can shorten a short message transmission procedure and improve a user's convenience.
이와 같은 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명은, 사용자로부터 단문 메시지 전송을 원하는 상대측 단말기의 수신번호를 입력받는 제1단계와; 상기 제1단계의 수신번호 입력이 완료된 후, 단문 메시지 전송(SMS) 또는 음성통화 여부를 판단하는 제2단계와; 상기 제2단계의 판단 결과에 따라, 사용자가 단문 메시지를 전송하고자 한 경우, 메시지 내용을 입력받기 위한 입력창을 디스플레이하는 제3단계와; 상기 제3단계에 의한 메시지 내용의 작성이 완료된 후 전송 명령이 입력되면, 수신 단말기로 메시지를 전송하는 제4단계로 이루어진 것을 특징으로 한다.The present invention for achieving the above object, the first step of receiving a receiving number of the terminal of the other party wants to send a short message from the user; A second step of determining whether a short message transmission (SMS) or a voice call is completed after the reception number input of the first step is completed; A third step of displaying an input window for receiving a message content when the user wants to transmit a short message according to the determination result of the second step; When the transmission command is input after the creation of the message contents according to the third step is completed, the fourth step of transmitting a message to the receiving terminal is characterized in that the.
도 1은 본 발명에 따른 이동통신 단말기의 단문 메시지 발신방법을 보인 흐름도.1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for transmitting a short message in a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.
도1은 본 발명에 따른 이동통신 단말기의 단문 메시지 발신방법을 보인 흐름도로서, 사용자는 기존의 음성통화 방법과 마찬가지로 단문 메시지 전송을 위한 상대측 단말기의 수신번호를 먼저 입력하고(S11), 다음으로 단문 메시지 전송(SMS) 기능키(미도시)를 누른다(S12).1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for transmitting a short message of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention, in which a user first inputs a reception number of a counterpart terminal for transmitting a short message as in a conventional voice call method (S11), and then a short message. Press the Send Message (SMS) function key (not shown) (S12).
다음, 새로운 메시지 내용이나 기 저장되어 있던 메시지를 로딩(Loading)한 후(S15), "전송" 버튼을 누르면 수신측 단말기로 전송이 이루어진다(S16, S17).Next, after loading a new message content or a previously stored message (S15), when the "Send" button is pressed, the transmission is performed to the receiving terminal (S16, S17).
이때, 회신 번호는 메시지 전송 전 어느 단계에 삽입해도 되지만, 본 실시예에서는 상기 단문 메시지 전송(SMS) 기능키를 누른 다음, 입력할 수 있도록 한다(s14).In this case, the reply number may be inserted at any stage before the message is transmitted, but in this embodiment, the short message transmission (SMS) function key is pressed and then inputted (s14).
또한, 상기 상대측 단말기의 수신번호 입력은 지역번호, 국번 및 전화번호를 모두 입력하거나, 단축 다이얼로 설정되어 있을 경우는 단축 다이얼로 쉽게 입력할 수 있도록 한다.In addition, the receiving number input of the counterpart terminal allows all of the area code, the station number and the phone number to be input or, if the speed dial is set, the speed dial.
다시 말해, 본 발명은 기존의 음성 통화시에 이용하던 다이얼 입력 절차를 그대로 단문 메시지 전송에 적용하도록 한 것으로, 사용자는 일단 상대측 전화번호를 먼저 입력한 뒤, 음성 통화를 할 것인지 아니면 단문 메시지를 전송할 것인지를 결정하여, 음성 통화를 하고자 할 경우는 "통화"버튼(미도시)을 누르고, 단문 메시지를 전송하고자 할 경우는 "단문 메시지 전송"버튼(미도시)을 누른다.In other words, the present invention is to apply the dial input procedure used in the existing voice call as it is to the short message transmission, the user enters the other party's phone number first, then to make a voice call or to send a short message To determine whether to make a voice call, press the "call" button (not shown), and press the "send short message" button (not shown) to transmit the short message.
이에 따라, 사용자는 단문 메시지 전송을 위해 따로 사용법을 습득할 필요가 없게 된다.Accordingly, the user does not need to learn how to use the short message for transmission.
물론, 음성 통화시는 "통화"버튼을 누른 후, 상대측과 통화 연결이 되면, 음성을 주고받으면 된다(S13).Of course, during a voice call, after pressing the "call" button, when the call is connected with the other side, it is enough to send and receive voice (S13).
그러나, 단문 메시지 전송은 전송할 문자를 입력해야 하기 때문에, 메시지 작성 등 몇가지 절차가 더 포함되는 것은 자명하다.However, since a short message transmission requires input of a character to be transmitted, it is obvious that some additional procedures such as writing a message are included.
한편, 기존의 "단문 메시지 전송" 버튼은 단문 메시지 전송에 관련된 서브 메뉴들을 호출하는 일종의 메뉴 호출 버튼의 용도로 사용되었다.Meanwhile, the existing "send short message" button has been used as a kind of menu call button for calling sub-menus related to short message transmission.
즉, "단문 메시지 전송" 버튼을 누르면 메시지 송/수신에 관련된 서브 메뉴가 표시되고, 메시지 송신을 위해 메시지 전송 메뉴를 선택하면, 새로운 메시지를전송할 것인지, 기 저장되어 있던 메시지를 로딩할 것인지 등을 선택하는 것이다.In other words, if you press the “Send Short Message” button, a sub menu related to sending / receiving a message is displayed. When the message sending menu is selected for sending a message, whether to send a new message or load a previously stored message is displayed. To choose.
그러나, 본 발명에서의 "단문 메시지 전송" 버튼의 용도는, 수신번호를 입력한 후 바로 "단문 메시지 전송" 버튼을 누르면, 단문 메시지를 바로 전송하겠다는 일종의 전송명령이 되고, 수신번호 입력 없이 "단문 메시지 전송" 버튼을 누르면, 메시지 수신을 확인하기 위한 명령이 되는 것이다.However, the use of the "send short message" button in the present invention, if you press the "send short message" button immediately after inputting the receiving number, it becomes a kind of transmission command to send the short message immediately, without entering the receiving number When you press the "send message" button, it is a command to confirm receipt of the message.
한편, 본 발명의 실시예에서는 수신번호 입력을 위한 보다 구체적인 설명을 생략하였으나, 상기 단축 다이얼과 전화번호 직접 입력 방법 이외에도, 단말기의 부가기능 중 하나인 전화 번호부(Phone Book) 기능을 연계하여, 수신자의 대표 번호를 선택할 수도 있다.Meanwhile, in the embodiment of the present invention, a detailed description for inputting a received number has been omitted, but in addition to the speed dial and direct phone number input method, a receiver is connected to a phone book function, which is one of additional functions of a terminal. You can also choose a representative number.
결국, 본 발명에서는 어떤 방법으로 수신번호를 입력하던 간에, 수신번호 입력 후 "단문 메시지 전송" 버튼을 눌러 단문 메시지를 전송함으로써, 그 순서에 있어서 음성 통화 절차 차이가 없기 때문에, 사용이 편리하고 메시지 전송에 거부감을 느끼지 않도록 한다.After all, in the present invention, regardless of how the incoming number is entered, by inputting the received number by pressing the "send short message" button to send a short message, there is no difference in the voice call procedure in the sequence, it is convenient to use and message Do not feel rejected by the transmission.
이상에서 설명한 바와 같이 본 발명 이동통신 단말기의 단문 메시지 발신방법은, 단문 메시지 전송 절차를 음성 통화시의 통화 절차와 같게 함으로써, 사용자에게 메시지 전송에 거부감을 느끼지 않고 사용법을 쉽게 습득할 수 있도록 하며, 단문 메시지 전송 절차를 간소화하여 전송 시간 단축 및 사용자의 편의성을 향상시킬 수 있도록 하는 효과가 있다.As described above, the method for transmitting a short message of the mobile communication terminal of the present invention makes the short message transmission procedure the same as the call procedure for a voice call, so that the user can easily learn how to use the message without feeling a sense of rejection. By simplifying the short message transmission procedure, it is possible to shorten the transmission time and improve user convenience.
