Abstract:
1. A disguised power-off method for a mobile terminal, comprising the steps of: receiving an input requesting that a subscriber terminal enter a disguised power-off mode, the input being generated through key input means; sending a location signal indicating a location of the subscriber terminal to a server of a mobile communication service provider, and switching the subscriber terminal to the disguised power-off mode; receiving an incoming call signal after the subscriber terminal has been switched to the disguised power-off mode; generating a control signal to resume supply of power to the key input means in the disguised power-off mode after receiving the incoming call signal; receiving a location request signal from the mobile communication service provider in the disguised power-off mode; transmitting the location signal to the mobile communication service provider in the disguised power-off mode; receiving an input requesting that the subscriber terminal be powered on, the input being generated through the key input means of the subscriber terminal in the disguised power-off mode; and switching the subscriber terminal from the disguised power-off mode to a normal mode and registering communication service with the server of the mobile communication service provider, wherein, after receiving the incoming call signal, the subscriber terminal maintains the disguised power-off mode until the input requesting that the subscriber terminal be powered on is received, wherein the disguised power-off mode shuts off display power and prevents input and output of sound to and from the subscriber terminal, and wherein the location signal is sent when information about an originator terminal that requests a call connection to the subscriber terminal is identical to specific terminal information stored in the subscriber terminal.
