Abstract

An apparatus performs a method for handling a reception call in an electronic device are provided. The method includes transmitting a rejection message for call reception, and displaying call rejection information for the call reception, wherein the call rejection information includes at least one of reception-rejected call information and the rejection message.

Claims

1. A method of handling a reception call in an electronic device, the method comprising:

transmitting a rejection message for call reception; and

displaying call rejection information for the call reception,

wherein the call rejection information comprises at least one of reception-rejected call information and the rejection message.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a call;

displaying information on the call reception; and

confirming whether the call reception is rejected,

wherein if it is confirmed that the call reception is rejected, a rejection message for the received call is transmitted.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the transmitting of the rejection message comprises:

confirming the rejection message; and

transmitting the rejection message to a call sender.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the transmitting of the rejection message comprises:

displaying a plurality of rejection messages; and

if any one of the plurality of rejection messages is selected, transmitting the selected rejection message to a call sender.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the displaying of the call rejection information comprises:

after transmitting the rejection message for the call reception, determining whether a period for displaying the call rejection information arrives; and

at the arrival of the period for displaying the call rejection information, displaying the call rejection information.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the displaying of the call rejection information comprises:

during a call to a first recipient, determining whether the call to the first recipient is finished; and

if the call to the first recipient is finished, displaying the call rejection information.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

after transmitting the rejection message for the call reception, if a reference time elapses, releasing the display of the call rejection information; and

at the arrival of a period for displaying the call rejection information, displaying the call rejection information.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising, after transmitting the rejection message for the call reception, generating at least one of vibration and sound to report the call rejection information.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the call rejection information further includes a call connection icon.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

if the call connection icon is selected, confirming a call sender included in the call rejection information; and

performing call connection to the call sender.

11. An electronic device comprising:

at least one processor;

a memory; and

at least one program stored in the memory and configured to be executable by the at least one processor,

wherein the program comprises at least one instruction for transmitting a rejection message for call reception and displaying call rejection information for the call reception, and

wherein the call rejection information comprises at least one of reception-rejected call information and the rejection message.

12. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the program further comprises an instruction for receiving a call, displaying information on the call reception, and confirming whether the call reception is rejected, wherein if it is confirmed that the call reception is rejected, a rejection message for the received call is transmitted.

13. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the instruction for transmitting the rejection message comprises an instruction for confirming the rejection message, and transmitting the rejection message to a call sender.

14. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the instruction for transmitting the rejection message comprises an instruction for displaying a plurality of rejection messages, and if any one of the plurality of rejection messages is selected, transmitting the selected rejection message to a call sender.

15. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the instruction for displaying the call rejection information comprises an instruction for confirming whether a period for displaying the call rejection information arrives after transmitting the rejection message for the call reception, and at the arrival of the period for displaying the call rejection information, displaying the call rejection information.

16. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the instruction for displaying the call rejection information comprises an instruction for determining whether the call to a first recipient is finished during a call to the first recipient, and if the call to the first recipient is finished, displaying the call rejection information.

17. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the program further comprises an instruction for, after transmitting the rejection message for the call reception, releasing the display of the call rejection information if a reference time elapses, and at the arrival of a period for displaying the call rejection information, displaying the call rejection information.

18. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the program further comprises an instruction for, after transmitting the rejection message for the call reception, generating at least one of vibration and sound to report the call rejection information.

19. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the call rejection information further comprises a call connection icon.

20. The electronic device of claim 19, the program further comprises an instruction for, if the call connection icon is selected, confirming a call sender included in the call rejection information, and performing call connection to the call sender.
