Abstract:
1. A method of processing a voice call signal in a mobile terminal, the method comprising: setting user status information for indicating a status of a plurality of different statuses for a user in an instant messaging service; receiving the voice call signal when the instant messaging service is running on the mobile terminal; checking whether caller information corresponding to the voice call signal is in a specific caller list; outputting feedback informing that the voice call signal is received regardless of the set user status information when the caller information is in the specific caller list; searching a voice call signal response mode mapped to the set user status information when the caller information is not in the specific caller list; outputting the feedback in response to the received voice call signal when the searched voice call signal response mode represents a normal response mode; and processing the received voice call signal as a missed voice call when the searched voice call signal response mode represents a no response mode, a voice call unable response mode or an off-line response mode such that the feedback is not output in response to the received voice call signal, wherein the no response mode is selected when the user status indicates an ‘empty’ status; the voice call unable response mode is selected when the user status indicates a ‘busy’ status; and the off-line response mode is selected when the user status indicates an ‘off-line’ status, wherein the voice call signal is processed such that the mobile terminal is unable to respond in response to the selection of the no response mode, wherein the voice call signal is processed such that the mobile terminal is unable to connect to a caller in response to the selection of the voice call unable response mode, wherein the voice call signal is processed such that the mobile terminal is powered off in response to the selection of the off-line response mode, and wherein the user status information is registered to at least at least the instant messaging service server and the signal managing server even when the instant messaging service is not running on the mobile terminal.
