Abstract
A character agent function is added to a wireless terminal and an avatar user interface (UI) for generating and processing an event is expressed when an event occurs in the wireless terminal, such that call and message-related events occurring in the wireless terminal can be expressed through the character agent function.
Claims61
An apparatus for processing call and message-related events in a wireless terminal, comprising:
- a memory for storing character user interface (UI) images based on call and message-related events;
- an agent collection unit for collecting the call and message-related events occurring in the wireless terminal and generating an event message for identifying an occurred call and message-related event;
- an agent control unit, provided with a plurality of specialists for processing the call and message-related events, for selecting a specialist mapped to the event message from the plurality of specialists, selecting and outputting a character UI identifier (ID) based on a call and message-related event of the selected specialist, and processing user feedback information for an associated event in response to the feedback information received from a user;
- and
- an agent expression unit for outputting a character and text mapped to the call and message-related event and the feedback information.

A method for processing call and message-related events in a wireless terminal, comprising the steps of:
- determining if a call or message-related contact with an associated contact person has been made at least a threshold number of times when the call and message-related contact event occurs;
- determining if a relation to the associated contact person has been set up when the call or message-related contact with the associated contact person has been made at least a threshold number of times;
- and
- expressing a character and text for recommending the setup of the relation to the associated contact if the relation to the associated contact person has not been set up as a determination result.

A method for processing call and message-related events in a wireless terminal, comprising the steps of:
- determining if a call or message-related contact with an associated contact person has been made at least a threshold number of times for a predetermined period when a call and message-related contact event occurs;
- and
- expressing a character and text for notifying that the call or message-related contact with the associated contact person has been made at least a threshold number of times for the predetermined period if the call or message-related contact with the associated contact person has been made at least a threshold number of times for the predetermined period as a determination result.
A method for processing call and message-related events in a wireless terminal, comprising the steps of:
- determining if a call or message-related contact with an associated contact person has been made at least a threshold number of times per second predetermined period for a first predetermined period, when a call and message-related contact event occurs;
- determining whether a relation to the associated contact person is set up, if the call or message-related contact with the associated contact person has been made at least a threshold number of times for the predetermined period as a determination result;
- and
- recommending the setup of the relation to the associated contact person, when the relation to the associated contact person has not been set up as a determination result.
1 more element
A method for processing call and message-related events in a wireless terminal, comprising the steps of:
- determining if a call or message-related contact with an associated contact person has been made at least a threshold number of times per second predetermined period, for a first predetermined period, when a call and message-related contact event occurs;
- and
- setting an alarm event for recommending the call or message-related contact with the associated contact person if the call or message-related contact with the associated contact person has been made at least a threshold number of times per second predetermined period for the first predetermined period as a determination result, but has not been made for a period of from a time at which the contact has been made at least a threshold number of times per second predetermined period, for the first predetermined, period to a next third predetermined period.
A method for processing call and message-related events in a wireless terminal, comprising the steps of:
- determining a type of alarm event when the alarm event occurs;
- determining whether a call or message-related contact with an associated contact person has been made before a third predetermined period times out, if the occurred alarm event is an alarm event for recommending the call or message-related contact with an associated contact person when the call or message-related contact with an associated contact person has been made at least a threshold number of times per second predetermined period, for a first predetermined period, but has not been made for the third predetermined period;
- and
- expressing a character and text for recommending the call or message-related contact with the associated contact person, if the call or message-related contact with the associated contact person has not been made.
1 more element
A method for processing call and message-related events in a wireless terminal, comprising the steps of:
- determining a type of alarm event when the alarm event occurs;
- analyzing call and message records, if the occurred alarm event is the alarm event for giving notification of the number of generated calls and generated messages for first and second predetermined periods, and comparing and analyzing the number of generated calls and generated messages for the first predetermined period and the number of generated calls and generated messages for the second predetermined period;
- and
- expressing a character and text according to a result of the comparison and analysis.

A method for processing call and message-related events in a wireless terminal, comprising the steps of:
- determining a type of alarm event when the alarm event occurs;
- analyzing a TO-DO list registered for a first predetermined period, if the occurred alarm event is the alarm event for recommending a check of an undone work item of the TO-DO list when the undone work item is present in the TO-DO list registered for the first predetermined period, and determining if the undone work item is present in the TO-DO list registered for the first predetermined period;
- and
- expressing a character and text for recommending the check of the undone work item of the TO-DO list if the undone work item is present in the TO-DO list registered for the first predetermined period as a determination result.
