A method of storing a reply number in the wireless communication terminal 10 having the above configuration will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B.

3A and 3B are flowcharts of an embodiment of a method for storing a reply number according to the present invention.

In the process of storing the reply number according to the present invention, the user of the wireless communication terminal 10 or the wired communication terminal (hereinafter, simply referred to as "user2") is called from the other party (user1) (hereinafter simply referred to as "user1"). The process starts with receiving an SMS message.

That is, after the user 2 receives the SMS message from the user 1 and confirms the contents thereof, the storage number of the reply number button (for example, the '# button') is received through the input unit 11 of the wireless communication terminal 10 (302). When the user clicks (304), the control unit 13 determines the user's telephone number (replying number) (hereinafter, simply referred to as a "replying number") as a command for storing a reply number for an SMS message. In the storage unit 14 of FIG. 10, the control unit 10 switches to a mode in which an SMS message having the reply number as a reception number can be written (306).

In this case, an SMS message to be replyed may be written or not written, according to the user's selection (308).

First, a case in which User 2 composes a reply message will be described in detail as follows.

When the user 2 composes the message in the SMS writing mode (310) and clicks the send or call button, the control unit 13 directly transmits the message to the reply number through the transceiver 12 (312,314).

In addition, the user 2 may create a message in the SMS composing mode (310), and then select to transmit the message later (312), and at this time, select whether to save the message and the reply number as a shortcut (316).

When User 2 wants to save the reply number including the message as a shortcut key, the shortcut save instruction button (e.g. 'Shop (#) button') and the shortcut key (e.g. '1' '), The control unit 13 matches the reply number including the message with the shortcut key and stores it in the storage unit 14 (322).

That is, the control unit 13 of the wireless communication terminal 10 recognizes the button '1' inputted after the shortcut save instruction button (shop button) as a shortcut key and matches the reply number including the message with the shortcut key. It is to be stored in the storage unit 14 of the wireless communication terminal 10 (322).

At this time, when a shortcut save instruction button (shop (#) button) is input, the controller 13 may prevent the user 2 from re-entering with the same shortcut by presenting a list of previously stored shortcuts.

If the user 2 does not want to store the reply number including the message as a shortcut (316), the user simply clicks the save button, and the control unit 13 stores the reply number including the message in the storage unit 14. (320).

Next, a case in which User 2 does not write a reply message will be described in detail.

That is, after the user 2 receives the SMS message from the user 1 and checks the contents in the reception mode (302), through the input unit 11 of the wireless communication terminal 10, the store the reply number button (for example, 'shop (# Button 304), the control unit 13 determines the reply number storage command for the SMS message and stores the reply number in the storage unit 14 of the wireless communication terminal 10. Switch to a mode in which an SMS message with a receiving number can be written (306). At this time, if the user 2 simply clicks the save button, the message writing mode is terminated with only the reply number stored in the storage unit 14. (308, 318).

In step 302 to 322, a reply number including a message is stored as a shortcut key (322), or a reply number including a message is stored (320) or only a reply number is stored (318). The user can send a message at any time (324).

In this case, the user 2 may select a transmission method according to the message storage method (326).

First, the message transmission method according to the new composition is a case where the user 2 does not store the reply number through the above processes and may be referred to as a general message transmission method.

That is, when the user 2 inputs the telephone number and the message of the user 1 to send the SMS message (328), the control unit 13 transmits the message to the wireless communication terminal of the user 1 through the transceiver 12 ( 340).

Next, a message transmission method using a shortcut key is a message transmission method that can be used when the user 1 stores a reply number including a message in the response number storage method as a shortcut key (322).

That is, when the user wants to transmit a message stored as a shortcut key (326), the user inputs a button (1) saved as a shortcut key through the above process together with a shortcut key instruction button (for example, a 'shop (#) button'). The lower surface 330, the control unit 13 recognizes the button (1) following the shortcut button (shop (#) button) as a shortcut for the reply number including the message.

When the send or call button is pressed while the shortcut key instruction button (shop button) and the shortcut key '1' are clicked, the control unit 13 transmits a message to the storage unit 14 with a reply number matching the shortcut key. 340.

At this time, when user 2 wants to check the contents of the shortcut key, that is, the reply number and the message, the message confirmation button (for example, the shortcut button instruction button (shop) button) and the shortcut key '1' are clicked as described above. When the shop (# button) is clicked, the controller 13 outputs the reply number and the corresponding message through the output unit 15 (330). In this state, the user 2 may modify the message. If there is no change, the user 2 sends a message by pressing send or a call button after checking the message (340).

At this time, among the stored reply numbers by the shortcut key, not only the reply number stored through the processes 302 to 312, 316, and 322, but also the user's number and the phone number in the message sending mode, regardless of the received SMS message, It also includes the reply number saved after designating the shortcut number.

Next, the message transmission method using the stored reply number may be used when the user 2 stores only the reply number in the reply number storage method (318) or stores the reply number including the message (320). How to send a message.

That is, when the user 2 presses the storage number request button (for example, the 'shop (#) button') when the message is to be transmitted using the stored reply number (326), the control unit 13 sends the command. The reply number stored in the storage unit 14 is recognized as a reply number output command stored in the storage unit 14 to output the reply numbers (332).

At this time, the reply numbers outputted may be the reply number including the message or the reply number itself without the message, and the two types of reply number types may be classified by various expression methods.

That is, the control unit 13 checks the letter 'V' next to the reply number for the reply number including the message (or the reply number without the message), and the reply number including the message and the reply number not including the message. May be given separately, or the letter attributes of the reply number may be distinguished.

Also, among the output reply numbers, not only the reply number stored through the above processes 302 to 308, 318, and 320, but also the reply number and the message entered by the user 2 in the message sending mode irrespective of the received SMS message Contains a reply number containing a.

User 2 selects a reply number to which a message is to be sent from among the reply numbers output as described above (334).

When the reply number selected by the user 2 includes the message 336, the control unit 13 outputs the message stored through the output unit 15. In this case, the user 2 may modify the message. When the user 2 clicks on the send or call button in the case of modification or no change, the control unit 13 transmits a message through the transceiver unit 12 (340).

If the reply number selected by the user 2 does not include the message (336), the control unit 13 switches to the message composition mode, and after the user 2 inputs the desired message (338), the send or call button is clicked. If so, the message is transmitted through the transceiver 12 (340).

During the above process, the reply number storage button 304, the shortcut storage instruction button 316, the storage buttons 318 and 320, the shortcut key instruction button 330, the message confirmation button 330, the storage number request button 332 are As described above, the present invention is not limited to the shop (#) button, and may be arbitrarily selected by the service provider among the buttons on the wireless communication terminal 10.
