Abstract
A mobile communication terminal and method for aligning preference items. The mobile communication terminal has a memory for storing an access value for each item, which is made based on access times of a user to each item, a weight value of each item determined by the user, and a preference value of each item, which is calculated by considering the access value and the weight value of each item, and a control section for changing the access value of a predetermined item whenever the user selects the predetermined item, calculating the preference value of the predetermined item based on a changed access value and the weight value of the predetermined item, and forming a preference item list by aligning items based on the preference values thereof.
Claims14
A mobile communication terminal comprising:
- a memory for storing an access value, a weight value, and a preference value, with respect to each of a plurality of items;
- and
- a control section for changing the access value of at least one of the plurality of items when a user selects the at least one item, calculating the preference value of the at least one item based on the changed access value and the weight value of the at least one item, and forming a preference item list by aligning the at least one item in the plurality of items based on the preference values thereof;
- wherein the weight value of the at least one item, representing a preference of the user, is input by the user in a state in which the at least one item is displayed on a screen of the mobile communication terminal and stored in the memory before calculation of the preference value;
- and
- wherein a plurality of items aligned based on the preference item list are displayed when the user selects a preference mode, and a plurality of items aligned based on a conventional system, automatically provided in the mobile communication terminal without the user's intervention, are displayed when the user selects a conventional mode.
A method for aligning preference items in a mobile communication terminal, the method comprising the steps of:
- i) calculating an access value for at least one of a plurality of items;
- ii) calculating a preference value of the at least one item based on the access value and a weight value of the at least one item set by a user;
- and
- iii) forming a preference item list by aligning the at least one item in the plurality of items according to the preference values of the plurality of items;
- wherein the weight value of the at least one item, representing a preference of the user, is input by the user in a state in which the at least one item is displayed on a screen of the mobile communication terminal and stored in a memory of the mobile communication terminal before calculation of the preference value;
- and
- wherein a plurality of items aligned based on the preference item list are displayed when the user selects a preference mode, and a plurality of items aligned based on a conventional system, automatically provided in the mobile communication terminal without the user's intervention, are displayed when the user selects a conventional mode.
