  • Patent number: 8929223
    Abstract: In a system to control a VoIP service, a user terminal performs a first registration procedure of a CSCF through a first P-CSCF using a first mobile IP allocated from a wireless LAN, monitors a signal intensity of the wireless LAN while receiving the VoIP service over the wireless LAN, and performs a second registration procedure through a second P-CSCF using a second mobile IP allocated from a wireless packet network upon booting if the signal intensity of the wireless LAN becomes weaker than a reference value. The CSCF sends a VoIP call to the second P-CSCF if the user terminal performs the second registration procedure and the user terminal then receives an incoming VoIP call.

  • Patent number: 8923927
    Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for forming an event picture in a mobile communication terminal. If an event such as call reception, alarm or message reception occurs while a service picture is displayed on a screen of the terminal, the current service picture is backed up, a command input through the buttons provided to the terminal is interrupted and the event picture is overlapped over the current service picture, thereby allowing a user to perceive the corresponding event. Accordingly, the terminal user can correctly perceive the event occurred during the service. In addition, when the event occurs, the command input through the buttons is interrupted, so that it is possible to prevent an unintended event processing or erroneous operation due to an erroneous button manipulation.
