Abstract

PURPOSE: A reserved calling method of a mobile communication terminal is provided to previously record a message to be delivered to the other party in a voice and reserve a time for calling, so as to automatically send a call to the other party and deliver the recorded message at the reserved time. CONSTITUTION: Whether a user desires a reserved call is decided(301). If so, the user selects a reserved call menu for voice delivery(302) and a sets a telephone number of the other party to receive a reserved message at a reserved time(303), then records a message to be delivered in a voice signal(304). Accordingly, the setup of the reserved call is completed(305). A time manager checks a current time in a call standby state(306) and compares the current time with the reserved time(307). If the reserved time arrives, a call manager attempts the reserved call(308). If the call is connected to the other party, a controller regenerates the reserved message and transmits the message to the other party, thereby completing the reserved call(309,311,312). If the call is not connected to the other party, an expansion manager is operated to process the compensation for connection(313).

Description

Reserved call method of mobile communication terminal {THE RESERVED CALL METHOD OF THE TELEPHONE}

The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal, for example, a reservation call method of a mobile phone, in particular, if you want to make a call at a scheduled time with the other party but cannot make a phone call due to time or location constraints, the voice message recording and reservation in advance. The present invention relates to a reserved call function of a mobile communication terminal for delivering a message to a counterpart at a time of making an original call by setting a time.

The reserved call function provided in the conventional mobile phone is a kind of alarm function, and is a technology that outputs an alarm (sound or message) at a scheduled time.

In other words, if the user reserves (memory) the time (phone number) and the other party who wants to talk, the terminal sounds a beep when the scheduled time comes, and the call is "scheduled time." Number ".

Then, the user listened to or saw the alarm, and made a call by directly calling a reserved party.

On the other hand, some conventional mobile phones are provided with a voice recognition dialing function that records the other party's voice during a call or recognizes a user's voice and performs dialing. However, a mobile phone having such a voice recording function is provided. Even scheduled call function is to provide the above scheduled time alarm function.

1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a mobile telephone as a mobile communication terminal. Referring to the mobile phone configuration of FIG. 1, an antenna 101 for transmitting and receiving an RF signal, and an RF transmission / reception processing unit 102 in charge of transmitting a signal to a base station or processing a signal received from the base station through the antenna 101; And a control unit 103 (MSM: Mobile Station Modem) including a vocoder 103a (Vocoder) for digital voice signal processing, a memory 104 for storing operation programs and voice data of the control unit 103; And a keypad 105 for user operation, a codec 106 for converting a voice signal into a digital or analog signal, a speaker 107 for voice output, and a microphone 108 for voice input. It is configured.

Referring to the conventional reserved call operation according to the mobile phone of Figure 1 as follows.

First, a user inputs a reservation time and a reservation telephone number to the control unit 103 using the keypad 105. The controller 103 stores the reserved time and telephone number in the memory 104 and searches for whether the scheduled time has been reached by driving the time manager.

When the scheduled time comes, the control unit 103 outputs a beep to inform the user that the scheduled call time is reached, and also displays the reserved phone number stored in the memory 104. The user hears this alarm and also sees the reserved phone number and operates the keypad 105 to press the call button.

Accordingly, the control unit 103 controls the RF transmission and reception processing unit 102 to communicate with the base station through the antenna 101, and the call line is made. When the call line is established, the user's voice is input to the microphone 108 and converted into digital voice data by the codec 106 and input to the vocoder 103a.

The audio sample processed by the vocoder 103a is transmitted to the base station through the RF transmission / reception processing unit 102 and the antenna 101 under the control of the control unit 103. The other party's voice signal transmitted from the base station is processed in the reverse order as described above and output to the speaker 107.

On the other hand, voice recording and playback during a call are made by the controller 103 storing and reproducing the voice signal in the form of digital voice data in the memory 104 according to the user's keypad 105 operation.

By the way, the conventional reserved call function only displays the phone number at the scheduled time and provides the function of notifying that there is a call reservation, so that the terminal hears a ringing tone at the scheduled time and checks the reserved phone number. There was an inconvenience that the user should try to make a phone call by directly calling the other party.

In addition, conventionally, when a user attempts a phone call by recognizing a reservation alarm, if the other party is busy or absent, the user must wait until the end of the call before retrying the call. However, if the call is actually failed after the first attempt, the call is attempted one or two more times and the call is abandoned if the call is still in progress. Therefore, if you must make a call with the other party, the inconvenience of having to make a reservation call (alarm time setting) again. The same is true if the other party is absent.

The present invention provides a reserved call method of a mobile communication terminal that allows a mobile phone to automatically transmit a reserved voice message to a reserved counterpart at a time reserved by a user.

The present invention has a means for setting a user's call reservation counterpart phone number and time in a mobile phone, and a means for recording and playing back a message to be delivered to a reserved party by a voice, and searching for the scheduled time, When the call is made to the set phone number when the call is made and the call is made, the recorded voice message is transmitted, thereby providing a reserved call method of the mobile communication terminal, which allows the user to automatically transmit the contents to be transmitted to the other party by voice. .

The present invention automatically dials a reserved party at a scheduled time and delivers a reserved message, thereby making a reservation call of a mobile communication terminal capable of easily performing a scheduled call without a procedure such as key operation for a separate phone call. Provide a method.

In a reservation call method of a mobile communication terminal of the present invention, a reservation step of setting a user's desired phone number and a desired call time of a counterpart, a message recording step of recording a voice message to be delivered to the other party at the set time, and reservation Retrieving a time; executing a reservation by calling the set phone number when the search result is the scheduled time, reproducing the corresponding recorded message, and transmitting it to the counterpart; It is a reserved call method of the mobile communication terminal characterized in that the control.

In the reserved call method of the present invention, if the counterpart is busy or absent, the reservation execution function is repeated by repeating the reservation execution step until the call is successful.

In addition, in the reserved call method of the present invention, if the counterpart is busy or absent, the reservation execution step is repeatedly executed a predetermined number of times until the call is successful, and the execution result is recorded so that the user can check the result. do.

The reserved call method of the telephone of the present invention can be performed by a mobile telephone as shown in FIG.

In FIG. 1, the memory 104 is a flash memory, which stores messages for a reserved call function and a voice recording function, and performs the reserved call function and voice recording function by a control unit 103 ( MSM). do. In addition, a control procedure (procedure PROGRAM) for continuing the reservation call and the reservation function of the present inventors is stored in the memory 104, and this program is executed by driving and executing a program of the controller 103.

Hereinafter, a reservation call method of the telephone of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the structure of an algorithm for performing the reserved call function of the present invention, which is mounted in the memory unit 104. As shown in FIG.

There is a reservation call setting step 201 for establishing a reservation call, and in this step, there is a message recording step 202 for recording a message to be delivered to a reserved counterpart. There is a time manager 203 for making a scheduled call at a scheduled time, and a call manager 204 for making a call to the other party when the scheduled time is confirmed by the time manager 203. If the call is successful by the reserved party and the call manager 204, a message reproducing step 205 for reproducing the recorded (recorded) voice message is performed, and the scheduled call is executed even when the other party is busy or absent. Extension manager 206 is mounted to continue. The extension manager 206 is connected to the call manager 204 and successfully voices the call by retrying the call with the reserved party even when busy or absent and executing the message reproducing step 205 upon successful call. Allow a scheduled transmission of the message (end step 207).

3 is a detailed flowchart of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, which illustrates an embodiment for a reserved call in which a user assumes a voice call.

First, in a first step 301 it is determined whether the user wants a reserved call for voice transmission. If the user wants a scheduled call for voice communication, the user selects a reserved call menu for voice communication using the keypad 105 (step 302), sets a scheduled time for delivering the voice message, and sets a scheduled call. The other party's telephone number to receive the scheduled message at the time is set (step 303). Then, the message to be delivered to the other party at the scheduled time is recorded as a voice signal. The recording of the voice message is performed by converting the voice signal of the user input to the microphone 108 in FIG. 1 into digital data by the codec 106 and storing it in the memory 104 under the control of the control unit 103. In this way, the scheduled call setup is completed by time reservation, telephone number input and voice message recording (step 305).

Once the reserved call is established, the time manager 203 continues to check the current time in the call waiting state (step 306). Checking the current time, compares whether the current time is the reserved time (step 307), and when the scheduled time arrives, the call manager 204 retrieves the reserved telephone number stored in the memory 104 to correspond to the corresponding subscriber (the other party). It does not matter whether the subscriber is a wireless telephone subscriber or a landline telephone subscriber and attempts a scheduled call (step 308).

When the call is connected with the reserved counterpart as a result of the call attempt, the controller 103 reproduces the reserved message stored in the memory 104 and transmits the reserved message to the counterpart (steps 309, 311, and 312). ).

In the call connection confirmation step 309, if the call with the reserved counterpart is not made, the extension manager 206 is driven to execute the call connection compensation process step 313. The call connection compensation processing step 313 maintains the execution of the scheduled call by, for example, waiting for a predetermined time and attempting to call again, or repeating the call a predetermined number of times. It records the execution result and status so that the user can check the execution result.

If the reservation call succeeds in this way, the procedure of the reservation call control of the present invention ends (step 312).

As described above, in the present invention, if a user records a message to be delivered to his terminal in advance by voice, and reserves a phone number and a desired delivery time of the other party who wishes to deliver the message, when the scheduled time comes By automatically calling the other party and delivering the corresponding message by voice, the reserved party can be accurately notified of the contents to be delivered by the user at the scheduled time.

Conventional scheduled call function has the inconvenience that the user has to try a separate phone call only by the user to display the scheduled time and phone number, the present invention allows the user to deliver a message to the other party at a specific time The scheduled call function is set in advance so that the message can be delivered at the scheduled time, and if the message is not delivered at the scheduled time due to the absence of the other party, the reservation function is continuously maintained so that the user can conveniently and safely deliver the message. do.
