displaying a receiving delay button on a display unit; allowing a call receiver to select the receiving delay button; sending a predetermined comment to a caller; and converting the caller's voice into a text message and displaying a text message on the display unit, such that the call receiver may not run to answer the call and may delay the call for a preset time period when the call receiver receives the call received by the mobile terminal while moving. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for receiving an incoming call using a mobile terminal, the method comprising: receiving an incoming call at the mobile terminal; displaying a receiving delay button on a display unit of the mobile terminal responsive to receiving the incoming call; allowing a selection of the receiving delay button; sending a predetermined comment to a source of the incoming call responsive to the selection of the receiving delay button; converting voice signals of the incoming call into a text message; and displaying the text message on the display unit. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method for receiving the incoming call according to claim 1, wherein the selection of the receiving delay button provides for a selection of a delay time associated with answering the incoming call by selecting one among predetermined durations. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method for receiving the incoming call according to claim 2, wherein the receiving delay button is displayed as a state bar to allow the selection of the delay time. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The method for receiving the incoming call according to claim 2, wherein after selecting the receiving delay button, an increase or decrease in the delay time is selectable. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The method for receiving the incoming call according to claim 2, further comprising: connecting the incoming call by decreasing the delay time to be 0 (zero) or by selecting an answer button, after the selection of the receiving delay button. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method for receiving the incoming call according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined comment counts down a preset receiving delay time. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method for receiving the incoming call according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined comment is a message stored after recording a greeting on a first call between the source of the incoming call and the mobile terminal, in a case of a previous call connection between the source of the incoming call and the mobile terminal. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method for receiving the incoming call according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined comment is at least one of a basic preset automatic reply message, a message that the call will be connected after the delay time, a message that a voice message left by a caller will be transmitted in text, a message created by recording a call receiver's voice and a preset melody. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method for receiving the incoming call according to claim 1, wherein sending the predetermined comment is completed after the source of the incoming call finishes an initial communication, responsive to detecting a voice signal from the source of the incoming call before sending the predetermined comment. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method for receiving the incoming call according to claim 1, further comprising: selecting a comment which will be sent after the selection of the receiving delay button. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method for receiving the call according to claim 1, wherein sending the predetermined comment further comprises sending a response corresponding to the source of the incoming call by operation of an automatic response agent, when a greeting is sent and the source of the incoming call is detected. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method for receiving the incoming call according to claim 11, wherein the automatic response agent sends a voice combined with the call receiver's voice. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The method for receiving the incoming call according to claim 1, further comprising: converting a message inputted at the mobile terminal via text into a voice message; and transmitting the converted voice message. ### Claim 14 A mobile terminal comprising: a display unit configured to display a receiving delay button on a screen responsive to receiving an incoming call; a wireless signal receiving unit configured to receive an incoming call; a wireless signal transmitting unit configured to transmit a predetermined comment responsive to a selection of the receiving delay button; and a controller configured to control the wireless signal transmitting unit to transmit a predetermined comment to a source of the incoming call, responsive to the selection of the receiving delay button subsequent to receiving the incoming call, and to convert audio data from the source of the incoming call into a text message to display the text message on the display unit responsive to receiving the audio data during a receiving delay. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The mobile terminal according to claim 14, wherein the display unit outputs a text message input window when the receiving delay button is selected; the controller converts a text message inputted at the mobile terminal during the receiving delay into a voice message; and the wireless signal transmitting unit transmits the converted voice message to the source of the incoming call. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The mobile terminal according to claim 14, wherein the predetermined comment is a recorded greeting responsive to a previous call with the source of the incoming call, and the mobile terminal further comprises a storage unit configured to store the recorded greeting. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The mobile terminal according to claim 14, wherein the receiving delay button is a state bar configured to adjust a delay time associated with the selection of the receiving delay button. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The mobile terminal according to claim 14, wherein the display unit is configured to display a selecting window that allows for a selection of the predetermined comment among a plurality of different preset comments. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The mobile terminal according to claim 18, wherein the predetermined comment is at least one of a melody, a business inquiry, TTS (Text To Speech) chatting, an “in conference” message, an “at wheel” message, a recorded comment, an automatic response agent and a countdown. ### Claim 20 (depends on 14) The mobile terminal according to claim 14, further comprising an automatic response agent configured to combine a response corresponding to a natural language analyzed thereby is activated, wherein the display unit displays a text message automatically responding to the source of the incoming call by the automatic response agent, responsive to the selection of the receiving delay button.
