Abstract

A display scheduling device and a display method of a mobile telephone light emitting diode display system characterized wherein the display scheduling device includes a priority level grouping unit, a display queue unit, a timing queue unit, and a scheduling program unit. The scheduling program unit refers to mobile telephone state priority level groupings which are held in the priority level grouping unit and, by comparing the priority level of a currently occurring mobile telephone state with the priority level of a mobile telephone state which is at the head of a queue in the display queue unit, it can effect rational and effective scheduling with respect to random and concurrent mobile telephone state messages and cause these to be displayed in the mobile telephone'"'"'s message display system, and, due to the use of the display queue unit and the timing queue unit, there is no loss of mobile telephone state messages which need to be displayed.

Claims

1-8. -8. (canceled)

9. A display scheduling device of a mobile telephone light-emitting diode display system, comprising:

a priority level grouping unit;

a display queue unit;

a timing queue unit; and

a scheduling program unit, wherein priority level groupings of mobile telephone states are held in said priority level grouping unit, and each priority level grouping comprises one or plural mobile telephone states, said display queue unit stores a queue of concurrent mobile telephone state messages, and the mobile telephone state messages in this display queue are ordered in accordance with their priority levels, said timing queue unit stores a queue of mobile telephone state messages which are in the same priority level group and occur in succession, and the mobile telephone state messages in this timing queue are sequentially ordered in accordance with the time-related sequence of their occurrence; and

wherein said scheduling program unit effects scheduling with respect to displays of mobile telephone state messages in said light-emitting diode display system.

10. The display scheduling device of a mobile telephone light-emitting diode message display system as claimed in claim 9, wherein the display queue length is determined by the maximum number of mobile telephone states which can occur concurrently.

11. The display scheduling device of a mobile telephone light-emitting diode message display system as claimed in claim 9, wherein the storage area used by said timing queue unit is dynamically allocated by a mobile telephone actuation system.

12. A practical scheduling device of a mobile telephone light-emitting diode message display system as claimed in claim 9, wherein going on the basis of the ordering of mobile telephone state messages of one and the same priority level group in a timing queue in accordance with the time-related sequence of their occurrence, the queuing order of mobile telephone states in the timing queue is adjusted in accordance with the sequence of a user'"'"'s responses to windows.

13. A mobile telephone light-emitting diode message display system scheduling method, comprising the steps of:

generating mobile telephone state priority level groupings in a priority level grouping unit;

comparing a priority level of a current mobile telephone state with a priority level of a mobile telephone state which is at the head of a queue in a display queue unit;

via a selecting program unit, wherein, if the priority level of the current mobile telephone state is higher than the priority level of the mobile telephone state which is at the head of this queue, mobile telephone state messages which are in said display queue unit are successively shifted back, and the message of the current mobile telephone state is placed at the head of the queue and is displayed in said message display system, and wherein, if the priority level of the current mobile telephone state is lower than the priority level of ‘

the mobile telephone state which is at the head of the queue the message of the current mobile telephone state is queued in said display queue unit and waits until it is displayed in said message display system, and wherein, if the priority level of the current mobile telephone state is equal to the priority level of the mobile telephone state which is at the head of the queue, the message of the current mobile telephone state is queued in a timing queue unit and waits until it is displayed in said message display system.

14. The mobile telephone light-emitting diode message display system scheduling method as claimed in claim 13, wherein said mobile telephone states comprise low battery level, packet arrival, alarm clock, brief news reception, brief news transmission in progress, screening protection, device turn-on, device turn-off, conversation in progress, unprocessed item, web search, cover turnover, cover closure, and charging.

15. The mobile telephone light-emitting diode message display system scheduling method as claimed in claim 13, wherein said mobile telephone state priority levels are divided into 7 groups.

16. The mobile telephone light-emitting diode message display system scheduling method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the display queue length is 5.
