Method and communication terminal apparatus for displaying function in communication

Abstract

A method and communication terminal apparatus for displaying a function in communication is disclosed that includes a display unit, a memory unit for storing and managing operation information including an additional function information and a function list in communication provided by the communication terminal apparatus. A main processing unit automatically reads the function list in communication stored in the memory unit and displays the list on the display unit when an operation mode of the communication terminal apparatus changes from a communication waiting mode to a communication mode. In the communication terminal apparatus, when an operation mode of the communication terminal apparatus changes to a communication mode, a function list in communication stored in advance is automatically read and then displayed. Accordingly, in the communication terminal apparatus, a function in communication is automatically informed to a user, and therefore, users can use the function in communication more conveniently.

Description

PRIORITY [0001] This application claims priority to an application entitled “Method and Communication Terminal Apparatus For Displaying Function In Communication” filed in the Korean Industrial Property Office on Jul. 21, 2003 and assigned Serial No. 2003-49849, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to a method and communication terminal apparatus for displaying a function in communication, more particularly to a method and communication terminal apparatus capable of displaying and selecting functions which can be performed in communication. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] In general, a communication terminal apparatus such as a portable telephone or a wire / wireless telephone provides functions which can be performed in communication (hereinafter, referred to as ‘function in communication’). For instance, the function list in communication may inclu...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009] Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior art, and a primary object of the present invention is to provide a method and a communication terminal apparatus, which enable a user to effectively use the communication terminal apparatus.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method and a communication terminal apparatus, which enable users to conveniently use a function in communication.

Problems solved by technology

However, conventional communication terminals do not positively inform a user of such a function in communication.

That is, in the prior art, since the communication terminals in communication displays only communication information with respect to a corresponding communication, users can't conveniently use or readily be informed of function in communication.

Furthermore, there have been users who have not known the function in communication itself.

Therefore, there have been many users who are unable to effectively use such communication terminal apparatuses.
