USER TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING INTEGRATED COMMUNICATION HISTORY OF THE USER TERMINAL

1 . A method for displaying an integrated communication history of a user terminal, the method comprising:

transmitting or receiving a content using an integrated communication service;

collecting communication history of content transmission or reception using the integrated communication service; and

generating a user interface feature based on the communication history.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying the communication history in association with the user interface feature.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the communication history comprises content information associated with the transmitted or received content.

4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

classifying the contents according to a content type based on the content information.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining whether an application is running in the user terminal,

wherein the application is an application associated with a Rich Communication Suite (RCS).

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the collecting of the communication history comprises:

monitoring communication activities of the user terminal in an integrated communication environment;

collecting content information when a communication activity is detected; and

generating the communication history using at least one piece of content information.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein content information comprises at least one of a file extension, a file name, a time of transmission or reception, and sender or recipient information.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the content information is collected by analyzing header information of the content.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating a user interface feature comprises:

loading the communication history; and

displaying a user interface comprising a user interface set by an application stored in the user terminal and the generated user interface feature.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

selecting a communication history for loading,

wherein the communication history to be loaded is selected based on at least one of a content type, sender information, and information included in an address book.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface feature comprises at least one of an icon, a text book, a drop down menu, a menu button for performing an operation, and a menu list.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface feature indicates a type of the content transmitted or received by the user terminal.

13 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the user interface is displayed to hide locked content.

14 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the user interface is displayed with respect to at least one of a content type, sender or recipient information associated with the communication history, and a contact stored in the user terminal.

15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the integrated communication service includes an RCS service.

16 . A user terminal to display an integrated communication history, the user terminal comprising:

an integrated communication provider to support an integrated communication service;

a communicator to transmit or receive content using the integrated communication service;

a communication history manager to collect communication history of content transmission or reception using the integrated communication service;

an interface manager to generate a user interface feature based on the communication history; and

an image display to display a user interface comprising the user interface feature.

17 . The user terminal of claim 16 , wherein the image display displays the communication history in association with the user interface feature.

18 . The user terminal of claim 16 , wherein the communication history manager monitors communication activities of the user terminal in an integrated communication environment, collects content information when a communication activity is detected, and generates the communication history using at least one piece of content information.

19 . The user terminal of claim 16 , wherein the interface manager loads the communication history, and the image display displays a user interface set by an application stored in the user terminal and the generated user interface feature.

20 . The user terminal of claim 16 , wherein the user interface feature indicates a type of the content transmitted or received by the user terminal.

21 . The user terminal of claim 16 , wherein the integrated communication service includes a Rich Communication Suite (RCS) service.

22 . A method for displaying an integrated communication history of a user terminal, the method comprising:

collecting content transmission or reception history in an integrated communication environment; and

displaying a user interface comprising information associated with the content transmission or reception history.
