Referring to the present invention in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows.

The overall system configuration of the mobile phone for implementing the present invention is shown in FIG.

As can be seen from the above, a typical mobile phone is connected to a high frequency unit, a ring tone generator, a speaker, and a microphone, and a voice processing unit for inputting or outputting voice as a voice signal, and a high frequency unit for receiving or transmitting radio waves. And a photographing unit including a key input unit for inputting various data or controlling a function, a display unit for displaying various data, characters, images, and the like, a lens, a CCD, and a DSP for image data processing.

In order to implement the present invention, a plurality of mobile phones are required to exchange text messages and voice messages through a base station exchanger, and at this time, it is possible to exchange image data of still or moving images. When described in more detail with reference to the embodiment shown as follows.

In the present invention, when the mobile phone is turned on, the control unit of the mobile phone checks whether there is a button operation, and when there is a button operation, it determines whether or not the button operation for transmitting a text message. The image data corresponding to the telephone number to be used must be stored in advance. That is, according to the present invention, specific image data is stored in correspondence with a specific telephone number, and when the text message is transmitted to the specific telephone number, the specific image data corresponding thereto is automatically transmitted.

To this end, the user can acquire image data by using the camera function built into the mobile phone and secure the image data and store it and download the image data from a PC. In addition, the same image data may be transmitted when a text message is transmitted with one image data corresponding to all telephone numbers without corresponding specific image data corresponding to a specific telephone number.

After preparing in this way, when the user operates the button, the control unit monitors whether the button operation is a plurality of button operations corresponding to the text message transmission to the mobile phone. As a result, when it is determined that there is a button operation corresponding to the text message transmission, the button operation to be input later is regarded as a character input operation, and the content of the character input operation is stored in the main memory. Subsequently, the controller determines whether the image corresponding to the specific telephone number input in the character input operation process input by the user exists or whether there is a single image corresponding to all the telephone numbers and searches in the main memory. . As a result, when there is image data corresponding to the designated number or when there is a single image, the specific telephone number is transmitted by activating the transmission / reception circuit built in the mobile phone. Accordingly, the call signal is transmitted to the other party's mobile phone through a plurality of repeaters or base stations and exchanges.

Accordingly, the response signal corresponding to the result of the incoming call is transmitted from the counterpart mobile phone to the user's mobile phone. This process is performed by the transmission and reception circuit of the mobile phone, and the controller of the user's mobile phone recognizes the call start state and transmits the text message data and the image data of the memory input by the user through the transmission and reception circuit. . Accordingly, the counterpart mobile phone receives the text message and the image data and displays the text message and the image data on the LCD display. At this time, in the present invention, the image data such as the face of the user is first displayed on the other party's mobile phone, and when the other party opens the mobile phone or presses the call button, the text message is displayed so that the user can know who sent the text message. It will be able to provide convenience. In addition, in the present invention, when it is determined that the user's mobile phone control unit has operated a button for a function other than a text message, various known functions can be performed.

In addition, in the present invention, when another person makes a call, it is determined whether the received telephone number of the cellular phone matches the unique received telephone number. As a result, if a match is found, a call is received, so that a ring signal is generated from the user's mobile phone. In addition, the control unit recognizes the type of received data and determines whether the call is in a call state. If the call is in the call state, the control unit decodes the received data to decode the text and image data, and decodes the decoded image. By displaying the data on the LCD, the user can see who sent the message before receiving it. Subsequently, the user opens the folder or manipulates the incoming button, and the controller, which recognizes the message, displays the message on the LCD, so that the contents transmitted from the counterpart can be confirmed.

In addition, by using the OVER LAY technique of synthesizing the image data and the text data transmitted to the other party in this process, the text data is displayed together based on the image data, thereby providing greater satisfaction to the user. Will be. In addition, the display unit may be divided to be displayed on one screen. In this case, the backlight of the LCD is turned off after a certain time as a method for reducing battery consumption as in a general mobile phone.

In addition, in the present invention, as can be seen in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the present invention can be applied to a case of transmitting a voice message or an email in addition to a text message. That is, in the case of transmitting a voice message, the voice message is stored using an existing mobile communication exchange and a wireless data management server. In the present invention, by transmitting image data instead of text data, the controller of the mobile phone is controlled in the above-described process. Recognizes the existence of the image data, guides the arrival of the voice message, and displays the image data on the display window to recognize who sent the voice message.

That is, in such an embodiment, when the button corresponding to the voice message transmission is operated, the voice is transmitted in a conventional manner, but the control unit transmits the specific image data stored in the memory together. Accordingly, as described above, when the incoming call number and the unique phone number correspond to the incoming call, the ring signal is output, and when the user turns on the folder or the call button, the call signal is determined. If it is determined that the switch is connected to the management server to download the voice. Accordingly, the control unit converts the data received from the voice processing unit from digital to analog and outputs a voice to output a voice message. In addition, when the image data exists by determining whether the image data included in the downloaded data exists. By immediately transmitting the image data to the display unit, the user can not only listen to the voice message but also view the screen, thereby enabling the audio and visual reception so that the doctor and the emotion can be more effectively transmitted.

Of course, even in this case, it is possible to minimize the consumption of the battery by determining whether the set time has elapsed and controlling the backlight.

In addition, in the present invention, as shown in Figure 4 by using the email service function of the mobile phone to transmit the image data at the same time at the time of the e-mail can transmit the image data with the e-mail message to satisfy the various needs of the user.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, when the e-mail is transmitted in a key button operation using a key input unit, the e-mail data is input to transmit e-mail addresses, e-mail contents, and specific image data to an exchange and a management server. Accordingly, the exchange and the management server receive the e-mail, search for the mobile phone using the received e-mail address, and send the mobile phone number. Accordingly, the mobile phone with the corresponding phone number generates a ring signal to notify the arrival of the e-mail. When the user operates the folder or the call button, the control unit confirms that the e-mail is received and connects to the exchange and management server for data. You will receive a download. The control unit which has received the contents of the e-mail in such a state decodes the contents and displays them on the display unit, determines whether the image data exists and displays the image data on the display unit. In this state, the user receives the e-mail and confirms it with the display unit, and displays image data on the display unit. In this case, the user can overlay and view the image data as necessary, or divide the display unit area so that all of them can be displayed on one screen. It could be. In addition, in the present invention, the user may shoot and transmit a still image or a moving image before dialing. To this end, when the control unit determines that the image transmission mode button is operated before the call, the photographing unit is immediately activated to take a photograph. When shooting is completed in an appropriate state, the shooting data is immediately stored, and the transmission number is transmitted only when the button operation corresponding to the transmission phone number is performed. Done. In such a case, the mobile phone is called by the exchange and the management server. Accordingly, the mobile phone generates a ring signal, and the control unit checks whether the shooting data transmitted by the exchange and the management server exists, and thus the shooting data exists. In this case, it is displayed by the display unit. As a result, the user is able to easily recognize who the call is coming from while watching the video, and the user is able to perform a normal call function since the video is displayed on the display unit while ringing.

 According to this embodiment, the present invention displays the caller as an image beyond the simple caller display function, thereby providing greater satisfaction to the user.

In this way, the present invention transmits an image in addition to the transmission of a text message, a voice, or an e-mail message, and thus, it is possible to convey a desire, an emotion, etc. to a recipient by using a visual medium, which is difficult to be transmitted only by a text, a voice, and the like. There is a useful effect that can be met.
