Abstract:
1. A method for controlling a communication connection in a mobile terminal, the method comprising: transmitting a communication request signal from the mobile terminal to a network for attempting a communication connection with a device connected to the network, wherein the communication connection is accomplished when the device accepts the communication connection; receiving, in the mobile terminal, a signal from the network for indicating the progress of the communication connection attempt while the communication connection is not yet accomplished, wherein a ring-back tone is generated upon receiving the signal, and wherein the signal for indicating the progress of the communication connection attempt informs a user of a current completion level of the communication connection attempt; displaying, on the mobile terminal, visual information indicating the progress of the communication connection attempt; and controlling, in the mobile terminal, an output of the ring-back tone until the communication connection is accomplished, wherein the communication request signal continues to be transmitted a predetermined number of times if the communication connection is not accomplished, and wherein controlling the output of the ring-back tone comprises automatically silencing a sound of the ring-back tone while the communication request signal continues to be transmitted for the predetermined number of times.
