  • Method for connecting and blocking call in portable terminal
    Patent number: 9813537
    Abstract: A method in a call system connects and blocks a call in a portable terminal. A call blocking time period is set. An elapsed time period is measured from a time point when the call blocking time period is set. A determination is made as to whether the measured time period exceeds the set call blocking time period if the portable terminal receives a call connection request from an external terminal. If the measured time period does not exceed the set call blocking time period, the call connection is blocked and information regarding time period, calculated by subtracting the measured time period from the set call blocking time period, is transmitted to the external terminal that requested the call connection.
