`
`MULTI TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR ORIGINATING AND TERMINATING
`
`CALL THEREOF, SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING MULTI-NUMBER SUPPORT
`
`· 5 SERVICE TO THE TERMINAL
`
`[Technical Field]
`The present invention relates to a terminal. More particularly, the
`
`present
`
`invention
`
`relates
`
`to
`
`a multi
`
`terminal a method
`
`for
`
`transmitting/receiving a call thereof, and a multi number support system using
`
`10
`
`the same.
`
`[Background Art]
`
`In general, a single number is assigned to a portable terminal, and a
`
`call process caused by transmitting and receiving a call is performed based
`on the number. However, a two-number service has been developed and
`
`15
`
`provided so as to provide various services to users.
`The two-number service provides two telephone numbers to a single
`
`terminal so that a call may be transmitted and received by each phone
`
`number.
`
`In this instance, an additional telephone number for easy change or
`cancellation is provided in addition to a default telephone number, and the
`
`20
`
`user can make each call generated to each of the telephone number through
`
`a terminal.
`However, the additional service of the two-number service has a
`
`25
`
`drawback of only providing a speech call service or a speech mail box service
`for each telephone number. Korean Published Application No. 2002-58575
`entitled "Short Message Transmission in Mobile Communication Multiple
`Telephone Number Service" discloses a
`technique
`for applying
`the
`two-number service to the short message service.

`
`Korean Published Application No. 2002-41241 entitled "Automatic
`
`Response Service Method in Terminal Receiving Two-number Service"
`
`discloses another prior art related to the two-number service, which discloses
`
`5
`
`a method for applying different automatic response messages to respective
`call receive numbers assigned to a terminal. Korean Published Application
`No. 2005-72335 entitled "Method and System for Providing Additional
`
`Number Service in Mobile Communication Network" discloses another prior
`
`art for efficiently displaying an additional number provided by the additional
`to another user's mobile phone.
`Korean Published
`number service
`10 Application No. 2005-70966 entitled "System and Method for Providing Multi
`Number Telephone Service in Mobile Terminal" discloses another prior art for
`
`providing a multi number telephone service without using a cal switching
`
`scheme.
`In addition to the two-number service related techniques, the 030
`temporary number service has also been developed, which provides a
`
`15
`
`temporary number to the terminal, and provides a call processing service by
`
`using the temporary number.
`The above-described conventional two-number skills allow mobile
`communication service providers to provide predetermined services such as a
`
`20
`
`call transmission and receiving service, a speech service, and a short
`
`message service to users for the respective different numbers assigned to a
`single terminal. No skills for more efficiently managing the different numbers
`of the terminal and providing various additional services to users have been
`
`developed.
`Therefore, it is difficult to efficiently provide various additional services
`
`25
`
`such as call transmission and receiving, telephone sound, and dialing tone
`sound to the users according to numbers while the terminal is independently
`operable for the numbers.
`The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for
`enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and
`therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is

`FIG. 3 shows a configuration diagram for a controller 20 of a multi
`terminal shown in FIG. 2.
`As shown in FIG. 3, the controller 20 includes a reference number
`setter 21, an additional mode setter 22, a call transmitter 23 for processing a
`transmitted call for a predetermined number, a call receiver 24 for processing
`a predetermined received call input through the interface device 60, and a
`service provider 25 for providing an additional service for a predetermined
`number.
`When an operation setting mode is selected by the mode selector 11,
`the reference number setter 21 sets a reference number for processing call
`transmission and receiving from among the multiple numbers according to the
`signal input by the multi number selector 12.
`The numbers other than the reference number set for processing call
`transmission and receiving from among the numbers assigned to the terminal
`In this instance, the reference number
`15 will be referred to as hidden numbers.
`or the hidden numbers may be a default telephone number or a virtual
`telephone number.
`FIG. 4 shows a conceptual diagram for a multi terminal to which a
`reference number and a hidden number are assigned. As shown in FIG. 4,
`the multi terminal sets a reference number for transmitting and receiving calls
`through a reference number setting key installed outside. The reference
`number is operable in the general state, and the hidden number is operable in
`.
`the hidden state.
`The general state represents the state in which the process for
`transmitting and receiving calls is performed in a like manner of the general
`terminal. That is, the reference number is processed as like a mobile phone
`terminal, and general call
`the general portable
`to
`number assigned
`transmission and receiving is performed based on the reference number.
`For example, when the user inputs a call receive number to the terminal and
`requests to transmit a call, the reference number together with the call receive
`number is set to be a reference number and is then transmitted to the

`communication network. When a predetermined a received call including a
`
`reference number is received from the communication network, a connection
`process with the other user's terminal is performed in a like manner of a
`
`general call receiving process.
`The hidden state indicates states other than the general state, and in
`
`5
`
`detail, it represents the state in which the terminal performs a predetermined
`
`function, but it is operated in a specific case while it is not operated as if
`
`hidden in the general state. Particularly, the hidden state means the state in
`
`which numbers available for call transmission and receiving are assigned to
`
`10
`
`the terminal, and a call receiving process is performed according to a specific
`
`mode when call transmission is performed for a specific case or a receiving
`
`call is received for a corresponding number. For example, when attempting
`
`to transmit a call with a hidden number in the hidden state, the user must
`
`directly input the hidden number as a call transmit number as well as the call
`receive number. The above-noted general call
