Abstract

A wireless communication terminal having a function for unifying multiple messages and a method thereof are disclosed. The wireless communication terminal having a function for unifying multiple messages includes: a wireless transceiver; an output unit; a memory for storing a multi-message unifying interface program, a multi-message unifying program, transmitting messages, receiving messages, and a unified message; an input unit for receiving a selection signal for selecting one or more transmitting/receiving messages or a multi-message unifying menu key through a multi-message unifying interface; and a controller for driving the multi-message unifying interface program and the multi-message unifying program, and generating single unified message by unifying the selected transmitting/receiving messages selected according to the selection signal.

Claims

1. A wireless communication terminal for unifying multiple messages, the wireless communication terminal comprising:

a wireless transceiver;

an output unit;

a memory for storing a multi-message unifying interface program, a multi-message unifying program, transmitting messages, receiving messages, and a unified message;

an input unit for receiving a selection signal for selecting one or more transmitting/receiving messages or a multi-message unifying menu key through a multi-message unifying interface; and

a controller for driving the multi-message unifying interface program and the multi-message unifying program, and generating single unified message by unifying the selected transmitting/receiving messages selected according to the selection signal.

2. The wireless communication terminal as recited in claim 1, wherein the memory stores receiving-side information including a telephone number and an e-mail address, the input unit receives the receiving-side information, and the controller transmits the generated unified message according to the received receiving-side information.

3. The wireless communication terminal as recited in claim 2, wherein the controller updates the selected transmitting/receiving messages stored in the memory to the generated unified message.

4. The wireless communication terminal as recited in claim 3, wherein the output unit outputs the generated unified message in response to the controller.

5. A method of unifying multiple messages in a wireless communication terminal, the method comprising:

receiving a selection signal for selecting a plurality of transmitting/receiving messages through a multi-message unifying interface, and selecting a plurality of the transmitting/receiving messages according to the selection signal; and

receiving a multi-message unifying menu key through the multi-message unifying interface, and generating single unified message by unifying the selected transmitting/receiving messages according to the multi-message unifying menu key.

6. The method as recited in claim 5, further comprising:

transmitting the single unified message according to receiving-side information inputted through the multi-message unifying interface.

7. The method as recited in claim 5, further comprising:

updating the selected transmitting/receiving messages to the single unified message.

8. The method as recited in claim 7, further comprising:

outputting the single unified message through the multi-message unifying interface.
