Method for reception and processing of incoming calls and messaging services in a mobile communication terminal based on relevant conditions
View Patent ↗A method capable of setting the receiving condition of a mobile communication terminal for an incoming call, Short Message Service (SMS) or Multi-media Message Service (MMS) in advance, is provided. In one embodiment of the present invention, a user of the mobile communication terminal can set the receiving condition for the incoming call, SMS or MMS differently in each CID and each time zone, so that the incoming call, SMS or MMS transmitted from a CID is processed to be received or reception-rejected by user's set conditions. According to the present invention, the user may conduct effective service reception management under a special user environment for terminals such as while asleep or at a meeting, etc.
1. A method for reception and processing of services in a mobile communication terminal based on relevant conditions, the method comprising:
setting the priority and time condition for the service reception and processing for each caller identification (CID) and managing the same in the mobile communication terminal;
extracting caller identification (CID) information from the received service message upon the reception of an incoming call, SMS or MMS from a certain caller or sender;
searching the priority and time condition set for the caller identification (CID) indicated in the extracted caller identification (CID) information and checking the priority for the caller identification (CID) at the present condition; and
accepting or rejecting the incoming call, SMS or MMS according to the checked priority, wherein said accepting or rejecting is conducted by:
if the priority is set as “high”, accepting the service irrespective of the present reception mode set in the mobile communication terminal;
if the priority is set as “middle”, accepting the service according to the present reception mode set in the mobile communication terminal; and
if the priority is set as “low”, rejecting the service irrespective of the present reception mode set in the mobile communication terminal.
2. A method for reception and processing of services in a mobile communication terminal based on relevant conditions, the method comprising:
setting the priority and time condition for the service reception and processing for each caller identification (CID) and managing the same in the mobile communication terminal;
checking the priority and time condition for the caller identification (CID) indicated in said caller identification (CID) information upon the reception of a service with certain caller identification (CID) information while using a specific service in the mobile communication terminal in which the priority and time condition are set for each caller identification (CID); and
determining whether or not the specific service will be proceeded continuously and accepting or rejecting the received service according to the checked priority and time condition of the caller identification (CID), wherein said determining and accepting or rejecting of the received service are conducted by:
if the priority for the caller identification (CID) at the present time is set as “high”, stopping the current proceeding of the specific service and accepting the received service;
if the priority for the caller identification (CID) at the present time is set as “middle”, displaying on an LCD window a message setting forth said caller identification (CID) information and asking whether or not to accept the received service, and accepting or rejecting the received service according to the instruction of the user of the terminal; and
if the priority for the caller identification (CID) at the present time is set as “low”, rejecting the received service and the continuing to proceed the current specific service.
