Abstract

A method for operating a mobile terminal, and which includes performing voice recognition on call content to produce recognized call content, converting the recognized call content into one or more units of character information, registering the one or more units of character information to one or more particular functions of the mobile terminal based on a type of the character information or a field of the character information, inputting a search parameter, searching one of a plurality of file types and identifying a file related to both the search parameter and the one or more registered units of character information, and displaying or automatically executing the identified file.

Claims (46)

1. A method for operating a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

performing voice recognition on incoming and outgoing call content to produce recognized call content after the call is established;

converting the recognized call content into one or more units of character information;

registering the one or more units of character information to one or more particular functions of the mobile terminal based on a type of the character information or a field of the character information;

receiving an input of a search parameter;

searching one of a plurality of file types and identifying a file related to both the search parameter and the one or more registered units of character information; and

displaying or automatically executing the identified file.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of converting the recognized call content into one or more units of character information comprises:

classifying the one or more units of character information as one of information related to date, information related to time, information related to a place, and information related to an operation or activity.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying the voice-recognized call content together with phone number information on one region of a multi-divided display screen,

wherein the step of converting the recognized call content into one or more units of character information comprises dragging a portion of the voice-recognized call to another region of a multi-divided display screen in response to a user drag-and-drop operation.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of displaying or automatically executing the identified file comprises:

displaying at least one file type and a number of files within each of the at least one file types that are related to both the search parameter and the one or more registered units of character information.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

sorting the at least one file types by date.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the step of sorting the at least one file type by date comprises:

displaying a file type corresponding to a date selected by a user relatively larger than a file type corresponding to a date not selected.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the step of displaying a file type corresponding to a date selected by a user comprises:

positioning the file type corresponding to the date selected by the user at a center of a corresponding display.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein registering the one or more units of character information to one or more particular functions of the mobile terminal based on a type of the character information or a field of the character information comprises:

registering the one or more units of character information to one of a phone book function, a schedule function, a memo notation function, and a to-do function.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of searching one of a plurality of file types and identifying a file related to both the search parameter and the one or more registered units of character information comprises:

identifying one of a photo file, a video file, a schedule file, a text file, and an audio file related to both the search parameter and the one or more registered units of character information.

10. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a display;

a memory; and

a controller operatively connected to the display and the memory, the controller configured to

perform voice recognition on incoming and outgoing call content to produce recognized call content after the call is established;

convert the recognized call content into one or more units of character information;

register the one or more units of character information to one or more particular functions of the mobile terminal based on a type of the character information or a field of the character information;

receive an input of a search parameter;

search one of a plurality of file types and identifying a file related to both the search parameter and the one or more registered units of character information; and

display or automatically execute the identified file.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 10 , wherein the controller is configured to classify the one or more units of character information as one of information related to date, information related to time, information related to a place, and information related to an operation or activity.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 10 ,

wherein the display comprises a multi-divided display screen, and

wherein the controller is configured to

display the voice-recognized call content together with phone number information on one region of the multi-divided display screen, and

move a portion of the voice-recognized call to another region of a multi-divided display screen in response to a user drag-and-drop operation.

13. The mobile terminal of claim 10 , wherein the controller is configured to display at least one file type and a number of files within each of the at least one file types that are related to both the search parameter and the one or more registered units of character information.

14. The mobile terminal of claim 13 , wherein the controller is configured to sort the at least one file types by date.

15. The mobile terminal of claim 14 , wherein the controller is configured to display a file type corresponding to a date selected by a user relatively larger than function lists corresponding to a date not selected.

16. The mobile terminal of claim 15 , wherein the controller is configured to position the file type corresponding to the date selected by the user at a center of a corresponding display.

17. The mobile terminal of claim 10 , wherein the controller is configured to register the one or more units of character information to one of a phone book function, a schedule function, a memo notation function, and a to-do function.

18. The mobile terminal of claim 10 , wherein the controller is configured to identify one of a photo file, a video file, a schedule file, a text file, and an audio file related to both the search parameter and the one or more registered units of character information.
