DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT In the following description, for purposes of explanation rather than limitation, specific details are set forth such as particular architecture, interfaces, techniques, etc.
, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention.
However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details.
For the purpose of clarity, detailed descriptions of well-known devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.
With reference to FIG.
1, a control unit 10 controls the whole functions of a mobile station including the process of defining hot keys by the user.
A memory device 20 comprises an ROM for storing a control program to control the operation of the mobile station and an RAM for temporarily storing data generated upon executing the control program.
The program data required for defining the hot keys is stored into the memory device.
A radio frequency (RF) device 30 converts analog base band signals into the corresponding RF signals to be transmitted to a base station through a radio channel, or down-converts the RF signals received through an antenna AT into the corresponding analog base band signals via a modem 40, which modulates digital data into analog base band signals via the RF device 30 or de modulates analog signals received from the RF device into digital data via an audio signal processor 50.
The audio signal processor 50 converts the analog audio signals inputted through a microphone (MIC) into the corresponding digital data (ADPCM) and transferred to the modem, or the digital audio signals from the modem 40 into the analog audio signals and outputted through a speaker (SP).
A key input device 60 includes a plurality of alphanumeric keys and navigation keys (up, down, left, and right keys) to generate the key data delivered to the control unit 10
