    How to delete messages on your mobile device {METHOD FOR DELETING MESSAGE IN MOBILE TELEPHONE}
    [6] The present invention relates to a method of processing a message in a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a method of selecting a deletion message and deleting all remaining messages except for the deletion prevention message.
    [7] In general, the mobile communication terminal can communicate text messages and video messages in addition to voice communication. The text message includes a short message (hereinafter referred to as SMS) that a user writes a sentence. When the SMS is received, the SMS is stored in the internal memory of the mobile communication terminal, and the user can select it and display it on the display if necessary. In addition, when a user of the mobile communication terminal makes an outgoing call, the telephone number of the calling party is stored in the internal memory, and the telephone number of the called party is also stored in the memory.
    [8] Meanwhile, the current mobile communication terminal can capture and store a screen through a camera or transmit the screen to a base station, and store screen data received from the base station in a memory. In order to store the above messages, the mobile communication terminal has a larger memory capacity.
    [9] Typically, a phone book, a transmission and reception message, and a recent call record used in a mobile communication terminal have a function of deleting stored data. The delete function includes all delete function and selective delete function. The selective delete function deletes a single selected message or telephone number, and once selected and deleted, the deleted message or telephone number cannot be restored.
    [10] In a conventional mobile communication terminal, when a message or a phone number is to be deleted, one must be selected to delete a plurality of desired messages or phone numbers. Therefore, since the selection and deletion must be repeated repeatedly, such a deletion method is inconvenient when there are many messages or phone numbers to be deleted. For example, if 40 messages are stored, if you want to delete 39 messages while leaving only one message, you must select 39 to delete, so you can feel troublesome and hassle. In addition, if all messages are deleted in a batch, messages that do not want to be deleted may be deleted together.
    [11] Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for setting at least one message as a delete protection message in a mobile communication terminal and deleting all remaining messages except the delete protection message.
    [12] Another object of the present invention is to set a message not to be deleted among the messages stored in the mobile terminal in the delete mode as a delete protection message, and then delete the remaining messages except the messages set as the delete protection message in a batch method. To provide.
    [13] In accordance with the above object, the present invention provides a method for deleting a message in a mobile communication terminal, comprising: a first process of displaying deletion type items on a screen on which messages stored in advance are displayed when a message deletion request is received from a user; When any one of the items is selected, a second process of performing a deletion procedure corresponding to the selected item is performed.

    [14] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the same elements in the figures are represented by the same numerals wherever possible. In addition, detailed descriptions of well-known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention will be omitted.
    [15] In the following description, a message will be described by taking a text message as an example. However, in the present invention, the message is used to include all text messages, phone numbers, and video messages.
    [16] 1 is a block diagram of a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.
    [17] Referring to FIG. 1, an RF unit 21 performs communication of a mobile communication terminal. The RF unit 21 includes an RF transmitter for upconverting and amplifying a frequency of a transmitted signal, and an RF receiver for low noise amplifying and downconverting a received signal. The data processor 23 includes a transmitter for encoding and modulating the transmitted signal, and a receiver for demodulating and decoding the received signal. That is, the data processor 23 may be configured of a modem and a codec CODDEC. The audio processor 25 plays a function of reproducing a received audio signal output from the data processor 23 or transmitting a transmission audio signal generated from a microphone to the data processor 23. The keypad 27 is provided with keys for inputting numeric and character information and function keys for setting various functions. In addition, the keypad 27 may include a key, a position shift key, a message selection key, a deletion key, and the like corresponding to selection deletion according to an embodiment of the present invention. The memory 29 may be composed of program memory and data memories. In the program memory, programs for controlling the general operation of the mobile communication terminal and selected deletion prevention messages among the stored messages according to an embodiment of the present invention are used to collectively delete the remaining messages except for the deletion prevention messages. The programs are saved. In addition, the data memory temporarily stores data generated during the execution of the programs.
    [18] The controller 10 performs a function of controlling the overall operation of the mobile communication terminal. In addition, the controller 10 may include the data processor 23. In addition, the controller 10 highlights the selected messages when setting the selective storage mode from the keypad 27 and sets a corresponding message according to a user's selection as an anti-deletion message according to an embodiment of the present invention. . When a delete command is generated according to a function key input, the controller deletes all messages except the delete protection message.
    [19] The camera 50 photographs image data and includes a camera sensor that converts the photographed optical signal into an electrical signal. It is assumed here that the camera sensor is a CCD sensor. The signal processor 60 converts an image signal output from the camera 50 into an image signal. The signal processor 60 may be implemented by a digital signal processor (DSP). The image processor 70 performs a function of generating screen data for displaying an image signal output from the signal processor 60. In addition, the image processing unit 70 transmits the image signal received under the control of the control unit 10 in accordance with the standard of the display unit 80, and compresses and decompresses the image data. The operation of the signal processor 60 and the image processor 70 is described in detail in Korean Patent Application No. 2002-22844 filed by the present applicant.
    [20] The display unit 80 displays messages generated during program execution under the control of the controller 10. In addition, the display unit 80 displays the image signal output from the image processing unit 70 in the camera shooting mode on the screen, and displays the user data output from the control unit 10. The display unit 80 may use a liquid crystal display (LCD). In this case, the display unit 80 may include an LCD controller, a memory capable of storing image data, and an LCD display device. In this case, when the LCD is implemented using a touch screen method, the keypad 27 and the LCD may be input units.
    [21] In the mobile communication terminal as described above, when the user sets a dialing mode after performing a dialing operation through the keypad 27, the control unit 10 decodes the dialing information through the data processing unit 23. After that, the RF unit 21 converts the signal into an RF signal and outputs the converted RF signal. After the counter subscriber issues a response signal, the counter subscriber 21 detects this through the RF unit 21 and the data processor 23. Thereafter, when a voice call path is formed through the audio processor 25 by the user, a communication function is performed. Meanwhile, in the incoming mode, the controller 10 detects the incoming mode through the data processor 23 and generates a ring signal through the audio processor 25. Thereafter, when the user responds, the controller 10 detects this, and a voice call path is formed through the audio processor 25 to perform a communication function.
    [22] In the outgoing and incoming modes, voice communication is described as an example, but a data communication function for communicating packet data and video data may be performed in addition to voice communication. In addition, in the case of performing a dead mode or text communication, the controller 10 displays the text data on the display unit 80 through the data processor 23.
    [23] In addition, the above-described mobile communication terminal may perform an operation of capturing a person or an environment and displaying or transmitting the image screen. First, the camera 50 may be mounted on the mobile communication terminal or connected to a predetermined location outside. That is, the camera 50 may be an external camera or an internal camera. The camera 50 may use a charge coupled device (CCD) sensor. The image captured by the camera 50 is converted into an electrical signal by an internal CCD sensor and then applied to the signal processor 60. Then, the signal processor 60 converts the image signal into digital image data and outputs the image signal to the image processor 70.
    [24] On the other hand, the operation of processing the message in the mobile communication terminal as described above, the memory 29 stores the telephone number of the calling and receiving subscribers generated during the call, the character created and transmitted by the user of the mobile communication terminal Messages and incoming text messages are saved. In addition, information such as a subscriber's telephone number and name registered by a user of the mobile communication terminal may be stored. In addition, image data received from a base station or photographed from the camera 50 may be stored. Here, the message will be used as a term that includes all the data as described above.
    [25] The memory 29 that stores messages as described above cannot store all the information due to capacity limitations. Thus, the user can delete some or all of the messages stored in the memory 29 at a suitable time. According to an embodiment of the present invention, when a message that is not desired to be deleted is first selected, a highlight is displayed on the selected message, the message is set as a deletion prevention message, and when a deletion command occurs, the remaining messages except for the deletion prevention message are collectively deleted.
    [26] 2 is a diagram illustrating a message deletion procedure according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 80 when a message is deleted according to an embodiment of the present invention.
    [27] Hereinafter, a message deletion method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. In the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the message is a text message.
    [28] The controller 10 determines whether there is a message management selection from the user in step 200 of FIG. 2. That is, when the user presses the menu key on the keypad 27, the controller 10 detects this and controls the display unit 80 to display a menu. As described above, the user may select message management from a menu displayed on the display unit 80. If there is a message management selection using the keypad 27 from the user, the controller 10 controls the display unit 80 to display the types of messages and proceeds to step 202 of FIG. 2. The controller 10 proceeds to step 204 of FIG. 2 when the user selects a text message among the types of the displayed messages in step 202 of FIG. 2. The control unit 10 displays the text messages stored in the memory 29 as shown in FIG. 3A in step 204 of FIG. 2.
    [29] As shown in FIG. 3A, text messages stored in the memory 29 are displayed, and the controller 10 determines whether there is a deletion request from the user in step 206 of FIG. 2. If there is a deletion request from the user using the function key of the keypad 27, the control unit 10 proceeds to step 208 of FIG. 2, and the deletion type item is displayed on the display unit 80 as shown by reference numeral 52 in FIG. Display. In this case, the deletion type items may be selection storage, selection deletion, or all deletion items. As shown in (b) of FIG. 3, the control unit 10 proceeds to step 210 of FIG. 2 to determine whether there is a deletion type item selection from the user. If the user selects the item " 1. Selective storage ", the controller 10 proceeds to step 220 of FIG. Selective storage is a function of setting a message not to be deleted among the stored messages as a delete protection message and then collectively deleting the remaining messages except the messages set as the deletion protection message. In addition, when the user selects the item " 2. Selective deletion " while the deletion type yield is displayed as shown in (b) of FIG. 3, the controller 10 proceeds to step 240 of FIG. Selective deletion is a function of setting a message to be deleted among stored messages as a deletion message and then collectively deleting the messages set as the deletion message. On the other hand, if the user selects the "3. Delete All" item in the state in which the deletion type item is displayed as shown in (b) of Figure 3, the control unit 10 deletes all the messages stored in step 212 of FIG.
    [30] 4 is a control flowchart illustrating a process of performing selective storage by a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
    [31] Hereinafter, a process of performing selective storage of the mobile communication terminal corresponding to step 220 of FIG. 2 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.
    [32] If the selection storage item is selected in the deletion type item 52 as shown in (b) of FIG. 3, in step 222 of FIG. 4, the controller 10 determines whether there is a position movement key input provided to the keypad 27 from the user. The location movement key may be an up / down key of a navigation key. If there is a position movement key input from the user, for example, an up / down key input of a navigation key, the controller 10 proceeds to step 224 of FIG. 4. As shown in (c) of FIG. 3, in step 224 of FIG. 4, the controller 10 highlights a text message of the corresponding location, for example, “gathering at the university road at 6:00 pm”. As shown in (c) of FIG. 3, the user may select a highlighted text message using a selection key provided in the keypad 27. If the user selects the highlighted text message using the selection key, the controller 10 continues to highlight the selected message in step 226 of FIG. 4 and proceeds to step 228 of FIG. 4. The controller 10 sets the text message highlighted in step 228 of FIG. 4 as a deletion prevention message.
    [33] If the user inputs a confirmation key while performing the deletion prevention messages while performing the operations 222 to 228 of FIG. 4, the control unit 10 detects this as a delete command and stores the stored messages in step 230 of FIG. 4. Delete all remaining messages except those set as delete protection messages.
    [34] 5 is a control flowchart illustrating a process of performing a selective deletion by a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
    [35] Hereinafter, a process of performing selective deletion of the mobile communication terminal corresponding to step 240 of FIG. 2 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.
    [36] If the selection deletion item is selected in the deletion type item 52 as shown in (b) of FIG. 3, the controller 10 determines whether there is a position movement key input provided to the keypad 27 from the user in step 240 of FIG. 5. The location movement key may be an up / down key of a navigation key. If there is a position movement key input from the user, for example, an up / down key input of a navigation key, the controller 10 proceeds to step 244 of FIG. 5. As shown in (c) of FIG. 3, in step 244 of FIG. 5, the controller 10 highlights a text message of the corresponding location, for example, “gathering at the university road at 6:00 pm”. As shown in (c) of FIG. 3, the user may select a highlighted text message using a selection key provided in the keypad 27. If the user selects the text message to be highlighted using the selection key, the controller 10 continues to highlight the message selected in step 246 of FIG. 5 and proceeds to step 248 of FIG. 5. In step 248 of FIG. 5, the controller 10 sets the highlighted text message as the delete message.
    [37] If the user inputs the confirmation key while performing the deletion messages while performing the operations 242 to 248 of FIG. 5, the controller 10 detects this as a deletion command and stores the stored messages in step 250 of FIG. 5. Delete all the messages set as delete messages.
    [38] In the message deleting method as described above, the text message is described as an example. However, if a message other than the text message is selected in step 200 of FIG. 2, the controller 10 detects this and proceeds to step 214 of FIG. Messages can be selected, saved, deleted, or deleted in the same manner as described above. The type of message may be, for example, phone book information, outgoing phone number, incoming phone number, incoming and photographed video screen information, and the like.
    [39] In the above description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be defined by the described embodiments, but should be determined by the equivalent of claims and claims.
    [40] As described above, the present invention may delete some or all of the messages stored in the memory in the mobile communication terminal. That is, when a message that is not desired to be deleted is selected, the selected message is highlighted and set as a delete protection message. When a delete command occurs, the remaining messages except for the delete protection message are collectively deleted. Therefore, by providing a simple message deletion method to the user it can provide a convenience when using the message deletion in the mobile communication terminal.
