Abstract

A wireless communication terminal transmitting/receiving data with a folder closed and a method thereof are disclosed. The wireless communication terminal includes: a wireless transceiver for transmitting and receiving data through a wireless communication network; a storage for storing the transmitted data and the received data; a detector for detecting a state of the folder of the wireless communication terminal in order to determine whether the folder is opened or closed; an outputting unit for indicating a result of the data transmission/reception; and a controller for analyzing the transmitted/received data to detect the last packet of the data, and continuing to perform the data transmission/reception without regard to the detected state of the folder until the last packet of the data has been detected.

Claims

1. A wireless communication terminal having a function of transmitting data, the wireless communication terminal comprising:

a wireless transceiver to transmit data through a wireless communication network;

a storage to store data;

a detector to detect a state terminating a current operation of the wireless communication terminal;

an outputting unit to indicate a result of the data transmission; and

a controller to analyze the transmitting data to detect a last packet of the data, and to continue to perform the data transmission regardless of the detected state terminating the current operation until the last packet of the data has been detected,

wherein the controller generates an operation-completion signal when the last packet of the data is detected, and outputs the generated operation-completion signal to the outputting unit, and

wherein the outputting unit produces a notification of the data transmission result to a user upon receiving the operation-completion signal,

the outputting unit displays an associated information with the result of the data transmission and time required to complete the data transmission when the data transmission is successfully completed, and

the outputting unit also displays an associated information with a reason of failing in the data transmission and a message inquiring whether the wireless communication terminal will repeatedly continue to perform the data transmission by the predetermined number of times if the data transmission fails.
