Abstract

A method of displaying call history information in a first mobile device communicating with at least one second mobile device. The method according to one embodiment includes displaying a call history screen. The call history screen includes information on an outgoing call history, an incoming call history, a missed call history, and a video call history. The method according to the one embodiment further includes displaying a specific content on the display unit in an activated state in response to a selection of the specific content; displaying at least one edit screen after the specific content is selected; deleting selectively the selected specific content corresponding to a pre-stored name or multiple contents including non-selected content; and changing the pre-stored same name corresponding to the selected specific content into an edited name with changing the pre-stored same name corresponding to all of the non-selected content into the same edited name.

Claims

1. A method of displaying call history information in a first mobile device communicating with at least one second mobile device, the method comprising:

displaying a call history screen on a display unit, wherein the call history screen includes information on an outgoing call history to the at least one second mobile device, information on an incoming call history from the at least one second mobile device, information on a missed call history about the at least one second mobile device, and information on a video call history about the at least second mobile device;

displaying a specific content on the display unit in an activated state in response to a selection of the specific content;

displaying at least one edit screen on the display unit after the specific content is selected;

deleting selectively the selected specific content corresponding to a pre-stored name or multiple contents including non-selected content corresponding to the pre-stored same name on the call history screen based on input on a first edit screen; and

changing the pre-stored name corresponding to the selected specific content into an edited name in a specific category selected by a user as well as the call history screen and changing the pre-stored name corresponding to all non-selected content into the same edited name in the specific category selected by the user as well as the call history screen based on input on a second edit screen.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

displaying a third edit screen in response to a selection of a correction button on the display unit; and

displaying a fourth edit screen, wherein the fourth edit screen is changeable depending on a type of the specific content.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the fourth edit screen includes a keypad if the specific content corresponds to a phone number while the fourth edit screen includes a brush screen for correcting an image file if the specific content corresponds to the image file.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the fourth edit screen includes an edit screen for correcting a personal information entry relating to the phone number.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the personal information entry includes group information.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the fourth edit screen includes a link screen for correcting the group information.

7. The method of claim 5, further comprising:

storing both the call history screen and the personal information entry in a memory.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the selection of the specific content is recognized by using a pointer.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the pointer is recognized based on a contact touch as well as a proximity touch.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the first mobile device corresponds to a mobile phone, a smart phone, a laptop computer, or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).

11. A mobile device for displaying call history information and communicating with at least one mobile device, the mobile device comprising:

a memory configured to store data;

a sensor configured to recognize at least one of command;

a display unit configured to display the stored data according to the recognized command; and

a controller configured to;

control the memory, the sensor and the display unit,

display a call history screen on a display unit, wherein the call history screen includes information on an outgoing call history to the at least one mobile device, information on an incoming call history from the at least one mobile device, information on a missed call history about the at least one mobile device, and information on a video call history about the at least mobile device,

display a specific content on the display unit in an activated state in response to a selection of the specific content,

display at least one edit screen on the display unit after the specific content is selected,

delete selectively the selected specific content corresponding to a pre-stored name or multiple contents including non-selected content corresponding to the pre-stored same name on the call history screen based on user input on a first edit screen, and

change the pre-stored name corresponding to the selected specific content into an edited name in a specific category selected by a user as well as the call history screen and changing the pre-stored name corresponding to all non-selected content into the same edited name in the specific category selected by the user as well as the call history screen based on input on a second edit screen.

12. The mobile device of claim 11, wherein the controller is further configured to:

display a third edit screen in response to a selection of a correction button on the display unit, and

display a fourth edit screen, wherein the fourth edit screen is changeable depending on a type of the specific content.

13. The mobile device of claim 12, wherein the fourth edit screen includes a keypad if the specific content corresponds to a phone number while the fourth edit screen includes a brush screen for correcting an image file if the specific content corresponds to the image file.

14. The mobile device of claim 12, wherein the fourth edit screen includes an edit screen for correcting a personal information entry relating to the phone number.

15. The mobile device of claim 14, wherein the personal information entry includes group information.

16. The mobile device of claim 15, wherein the fourth edit screen includes a link screen for correcting the group information.

17. The mobile device of claim 15, wherein the memory is further configured to store both the call history screen and the personal information entry.

18. The mobile device of claim 11, wherein the selection of the specific content is recognized by using a pointer.

19. The mobile device of claim 18, wherein the pointer is recognized based on a contact touch as well as a proximity touch.

20. The mobile device of claim 11, wherein the mobile device corresponds to a mobile phone, a smart phone, a laptop computer, or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).
