Abstract: The present application discloses a method of storing status of an application. According to some embodiments, whether a user of a mobile communication terminal made a selection to store the status of an application in a shortcut is determined. In response to the selection to store the status of the application in the shortcut, a single string value is generated and stored in the shortcut, where the single string value includes an application parameter and application status information of the application at the time of the storage of the single string value. If the single string value is selected by operating the shortcut, the status, at the time of the storage of the single string value, of the application is reinstated, and execution of the application is resumed according to the application parameter and the application status information of the application.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and a system for providing interactive annunciators for a mobile communication terminal so that a focus can be moved between the annunciators on the upper end of an LCD display module for displaying information regarding the condition of the mobile communication terminal and, when one of the annunciators is focused, information regarding its condition or menu items are displayed for interaction with the user. Advantageously, the user can conveniently check information regarding the condition of the mobile communication terminal and easily access corresponding menu items. In addition, even when the user encounters an unfamiliar annunciator on the screen, he can directly obtain information regarding that annunciator by moving the focus to it without consulting the manual.

Abstract: Disclosed is a mobile communication terminal having a function for integrated management of SMS messages, which including the steps of: (a) allowing a user to input a text message through a text message editor and select one or more options for message transmission in order to input option data and message transmission settings; (b) sending the inputted text message to a counterpart terminal, and receiving a reply text message from the counterpart terminal; and (c) detecting when the user selects a specific phone number or integrated management group name from a list of received messages stored in the message inbox, and displaying messages sent to or received from the selected phone number or integrated management group name altogether on one screen in chronological order

Abstract: Disclosed are a mobile communication terminal and a method for detecting and extracting a phone number included in an SMS message and activating a hyperlink function on the extracted phone number to initiate an outgoing call to the phone number or store it in a phonebook of the mobile communication terminal. The method includes the steps of: (a) receiving and outputting a text message, and determining whether a phone number is included in the received text message; (b) determining whether a selection bar is placed on a phone number included in the received text message; (c) determining whether a call key input signal or a phonebook key input signal is received, if the selection bar is placed on the phone number; and (d) dialing or storing the phone number, if the call key input signal or the phonebook key input signal is received.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for executing an application by using a mobile communication terminal and storing both a parameter (application parameter) of the application being executed and a status (application status) of the application, which includes the steps of: (a) if a user of the mobile communication terminal selects the application in the mobile communication terminal, determining by the mobile communication terminal if the application needs wireless network access; (b) if the application needs the wireless network access, accessing by the mobile communication terminal an application-providing server, searching for the application from an application database, and downloading the application; (c) if the application does not need the wireless network access, setting and checking the application parameter necessary for the executed application; (d) determining if it is necessary to perform shortcut storage for the application parameter and the application status; (e) if it is necessary to perform the shortcu
