Abstract

A mobile communication terminal capable of editing avatar motions. The mobile communication terminal includes a memory and a controller. The memory stores a plurality of commands corresponding respectively to a plurality of avatar motions. The plurality of commands are associated with a plurality of numerals, respectively. The controller displays specific avatar motions of the plurality of avatar motions in order. The specific avatar motions correspond respectively to numerals included in a phone number corresponding to an incoming or outgoing call if the incoming or outgoing call is performed.

Claims (18)

1. A mobile communication terminal comprising:

a memory for storing a plurality of commands corresponding respectively to a plurality of avatar motions, wherein the plurality of commands are associated with a plurality of numerals, respectively; and

a controller for displaying specific avatar motions of the plurality of avatar motions in order, wherein the specific avatar motions correspond respectively to the plurality of numerals included in a phone number corresponding to an incoming or outgoing call if the incoming or outgoing call is performed.

2. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of commands are stored to be associated with the plurality of numerals, respectively, in the memory when the mobile communication terminal is manufactured.

3. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of commands are stored to be associated with the plurality of numerals, respectively, in the memory by a user.

4. A mobile communication terminal comprising:

a memory for storing a plurality of commands corresponding respectively to a plurality of avatar motions, wherein the plurality of commands are associated with a plurality of numerals, respectively; and

a controller for displaying specific avatar motions corresponding respectively to the plurality of numerals inputted by a user in an avatar motion edit mode for editing the plurality of avatar motions, storing a combination of said numerals inputted by the user in the memory, associated with a set of avatar motions showing a combination of more than one avatar motion, and controlling an avatar to display the set of avatar motions in an avatar display mode.

5. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 4 , wherein the controller enables the user to load the set of avatar motions which was previously stored in the memory in the avatar motion edit mode.

6. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 4 , wherein the avatar display mode is begun when the controller determines that an incoming or outgoing call is performed.

7. A method for editing avatar motions comprising:

storing a plurality of commands corresponding respectively to a plurality of avatar motions, wherein the plurality of commands are associated with a plurality of numerals, respectively; and

displaying specific avatar motions of the plurality of avatar motions in order, wherein the specific avatar motions correspond respectively to the plurality of numerals included in a phone number corresponding to an incoming or outgoing call if the incoming outgoing call is performed.

8. A method for editing avatar motions comprising:

storing a plurality of commands corresponding respectively to a plurality of avatar motions, wherein the plurality of commands are associated with a plurality of numerals, respectively;

displaying specific avatar motions corresponding respectively to the plurality of numerals inputted by a user in an avatar motion edit mode for editing the plurality of avatar motions;

storing a combination of numerals inputted by the user in the memory, associated with a set of avatar motions showing a combination of more than one avatar motion; and

controlling an avatar to display the set of avatar motions in an avatar display mode.
