At this time, the duplexer 60 is responsible for outputting the signal received by the antenna 102 to the signal receiver 30, or outputs the signal output from the signal transmitter 50 to the outside through the antenna 102 The signal receiver 30 synthesizes a signal output from the duplexer 60 and a signal output from the frequency synthesizer 40, and then outputs the synthesized signal to the speaker 103.

In addition, the aforementioned frequency synthesizer 40 generates a separate frequency for removing a carrier frequency of a signal received by the frequency synthesizer 40, and outputs the corresponding frequency to the signal receiver 30, or a separate transmission carrier. It generates a frequency, and outputs the corresponding transmission carrier frequency to the signal transmitter 50, the signal transmitter 50 is from the electrical voice signal output from the microphone 101 and the previous frequency synthesizer 40 It synthesizes the output transmission carrier frequency, and outputs the synthesized signal to the duplexer (60).

The measuring unit 70 converts a signal received from the microphone 101 into an electric signal, and then measures the power level of the converted electric signal.

When the signal transmitter 50, the frequency synthesizer 40, the signal receiver 30, the measurement unit 70, and the like are all controlled by the terminal controller 10 described above, the terminal controller 10 may eventually be used. It is possible to arbitrarily adjust the operating state of the signal transmitter 50, the frequency synthesizer 40, the signal receiver 30, the measurement unit 70 and the like.

Here, as shown in the figure, the terminal controller 10 is not only a signal transmitter 50, a frequency synthesizer 40, a signal receiver 30, a measurement unit 70, but also a data memory unit 20, a screen The output unit 104, the key input unit 105, the receiving switch 106, and the like also form a series of signal connection relationships.

In this case, the data memory unit 20 stores a program for performing the overall operation of the mobile communication terminal and data generated by the operation of the corresponding program at a time. Particularly, in the present invention, the caller information and the user It is responsible for storing the specific number and the whole number you want SMS response. The screen output unit 104 serves to display the overall operating state of the device on the display window 108 described above, and the key input unit 105 transmits a user's key input state to the terminal controller 10. The reception switch 106 performs a role of transmitting a ring signal reception state of the user to the terminal controller 10.

On the other hand, as shown in the figure, the ring signal output module 80 of the present invention mentioned above is largely, the display setting item storage unit 82, the ring tone information storage unit 83, the voice display information storage unit 84 , Vibration display information storage unit 85, lamp display information storage unit 86, SMS storage unit 87, ring signal output control unit 81 and the like.

At this time, the display setting item storage unit 82 sets a setting item set by the user, for example, "set into an etiquette mode? Output a ring signal as a ring tone? Output a ring signal as a vibration?", A ring signal. To store information such as "?"

In addition, the ringtone information storage unit 83 stores a series of ringtone information preset by the user, and the voice display information storage unit 84 stores various types of voice display information preset by the user. The vibration display information storage unit 85 plays a role of storing various types of vibration display information preset by a user, and the lamp display information storage unit 86 performs various types of preset types set by a user. In addition to storing the lamp display information, the SMS storage unit 87 is configured by the user of various types (for example, "Now is a meeting. Please call after 6 pm", "Consulting now. "," Now we are in a seminar. "... etc.), that is, to store various types of SMS to inform the current status of the user.

At this time, the above-described ring signal output control unit 81 forms a series of signal connection relationships with the terminal control unit 10, the display setting item storage unit 82, ring tone information storage unit 83, voice display It functions to control and control the information storage unit 84, vibration display information storage unit 85, lamp display information storage unit 86, SMS storage unit 87 and the like.

When the base environment is prepared, when a series of calls are received from an arbitrary wireless base station having a link with the mobile communication terminal 100 and a ring signal is transmitted to the terminal control unit 10, the corresponding terminal control unit 10 ) Transmits a ring control signal to the ring signal output control unit 81, and in this state, the ring signal output control unit 81 continuously checks the signal transmission state, whereby the ring control signal described above from the terminal control unit 10 It is determined whether or not it was transmitted.

At this time, if it is determined that the above-described ring control signal is transmitted from the terminal control unit 10, the ring signal output control unit 81 searches the display setting item storage unit 82, the ring signal of the current mobile communication terminal 100 Check whether the output setting details are "etiquette mode", "vibration mode" or "SMS mode" and output ring signal according to user's option.

Here, the ring signal output control unit 81 searches the display setting item storage unit 82, and when the "ring signal output setting details" of the current mobile communication terminal 100 are "etiquette mode" and "SMS mode", Extract the pre-stored SMS in the SMS storage unit 87 to output the corresponding SMS.

SMS transmission method of a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the terminal control unit 10 of the mobile communication terminal checks the key input unit 105 from time to time to determine whether the power is ON (step S31).

At this time, if the user has not yet pressed the power key, it is determined that the power is not turned on, the terminal controller 10 proceeds to the flow to step S32 to maintain a series of standby state.

However, if the user determines that the power is turned on by pressing the power key, the terminal controller 10 captures the sync frame transmitted by the radio base station via the antenna 102 and then inserts its channel into the sync frame. As soon as the synchronization process is completed, a signal transmission unit sends a registration message including a series of registration messages stored in its data memory unit 20, for example, "base station controller identification ID, wireless base station identification ID", and the like. In step 50, the process of transmitting to the wireless base station is performed.

In this case, the wireless base station receives a registration message sent from the corresponding destination mobile communication terminal 100, and transmits the registration message to the mobile station switching center through the base station controller, and the mobile terminal switching station transmits the registration message. Immediately, a series of user authentication processes are performed quickly.

Through this user authentication process, if the user is confirmed whether or not to subscribe, the mobile switching center immediately generates a series of registration response messages, and the generated registration response messages through the base station controller, wireless base station, etc., the mobile communication It transmits to the antenna 102 of the terminal 100. The registration response message includes, for example, "identification ID of the base station controller to be formed with the mobile communication terminal 100", identification ID of the wireless base station to be formed with the mobile communication terminal 100 ".

In this state, the terminal controller 10 continuously checks the signal receiver 30 to determine whether or not a series of registration response messages have been received (step S34).

At this time, if it is determined that the above-described series of registration response messages are not received, the terminal control unit 10 proceeds to the flow to step S35, and maintains a series of standby states.

However, when the above-mentioned registration response message sending process is normally completed and it is determined that a series of registration response messages has been received, the terminal controller 10 transmits the received series of registration response messages to its data memory unit 20. It is stored quickly (step S36), so that the user's mobile communication terminal 100 can be equipped with a stable call waiting state that allows normal call progress.

Under such a base environment, it is determined from the user whether the "etiquette mode setting" event has occurred in the menu displayed on the screen output unit 104 by using the key input unit 105 of the mobile communication terminal (step S37).

In this case, if the user of the mobile communication terminal 100 has not yet proceeded with a series of menu selections, and it is determined that no separate "etiquette mode setting" event has occurred, the terminal controller 10 maintains a series of standby states. .

However, if it is determined from the user that the "etiquette mode setting" event has occurred in the menu displayed on the screen output unit 104 by using the key input unit 105 of the mobile communication terminal, the ring signal output control unit 81 determines the "etiquette mode". A control signal for setting is generated, and "etiquette mode setting" information is stored in the display setting item storage unit 82 (step S38).

Thereafter, it is determined whether a vibration mode or an SMS mode selection event among menus displayed on the screen output unit 104 has occurred using the key input unit 105 of the mobile communication terminal from the user (step S39).

If it is determined by the user that the "vibration mode setting" event has occurred in the menu displayed on the screen output unit 104 using the key input unit 105 of the mobile communication terminal, the ring signal output control unit 81 determines that Provide the service in progress (step S40).

However, if it is determined by the user that the "SMS mode setting" event has occurred in the menu displayed on the screen output unit 104 using the key input unit 105 of the mobile communication terminal, the caller information is retrieved when a call occurs (step S41). .

In addition, the terminal controller 10 searches the data memory 20 to determine whether a specific number desired for an SMS response exists among the numbers previously stored in the data memory 20 (step S42).

If there is a specific number for SMS response among the numbers previously stored in the data memory unit 20, it is determined whether the corresponding caller information corresponds to the specific number previously stored in the terminating mobile communication terminal 100 (step S43). .

At this time, if the caller information does not correspond to a specific number previously stored in the called mobile communication terminal, the caller information is stored in the data memory unit 20 (step S45).

However, when the caller information corresponds to a specific number previously stored in the called mobile communication terminal, the SMS corresponding to the current situation of the user is transmitted to the calling mobile communication terminal 300 using the caller information (step S44).

At this time, it is assumed that the SMS corresponding to the current situation of the user is set in the incoming mobile communication terminal and stored in the SMS storage unit 87 before the call is generated.

After transmitting the SMS according to the current situation of the user, the sender information is stored in the data memory unit 20 (step S45). The user then transitions to a standby state until an "etiquette mode release" event occurs.

On the other hand, if the entire number previously stored in the incoming mobile communication terminal wants to respond to the SMS, it is determined whether the calling terminal is a general wireline through the caller information (step S46).

At this time, if the calling terminal is a general landline telephone, the general landline telephone cannot receive an SMS, so that the sender information is stored in the data memory unit 20 without transmitting an SMS for notifying the current situation of the user. Process as a list (step S48).

However, if the calling terminal is not a general landline telephone, the user-designated SMS is transmitted to the calling terminal using the caller information (step S47), and the caller information is stored in the data memory unit 20 (step S48).

The user then transitions to a standby state until an "etiquette mode release" event occurs.

In this state, it is determined from the user whether the "etiquette mode release" event has occurred in the menu displayed on the screen output unit 104 by using the key input unit 105 of the mobile communication terminal (step S49).

At this time, if the user of the mobile communication terminal 100 has not yet proceeded with a series of menu selections, and it is determined that no separate "etiquette mode release" event has occurred, the terminal controller 10 maintains a series of standby states. .

However, if it is determined from the user that the "etiquette mode release" event occurs in the menu displayed on the screen output unit 104 using the incoming mobile terminal 100, the caller information corresponding to the call generated in the etiquette mode is data. Extracted from the memory unit 20 and displayed on the screen output unit 104 (step S50).

Thereafter, the ring signal output control unit 81 stores "etiquette release" information in the "ring signal output setting details" of the display setting item storage unit 82, and releases the etiquette mode (step S51).
