METHOD FOR CONTROLLING MEMORY IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for controlling a memory in a mobile communication terminal is provided to reduce time required for downloading data to a mobile communication terminal from a host computer by erasing data while receiving data from the host computer. CONSTITUTION: A mobile terminal is turned on so that a control unit initializes a state of the mobile terminal(300). It is judged whether a PC(Personal Computer) requests transmission of data to the mobile terminal(302). If so, the control unit controls to erase data of the first block of a flash memory(304). The control unit confirms whether the erasing action is continued(306). If not, the control unit examines whether data of all blocks of the flash memory are erased(308). If not, the erasing mode is executed to erase data of the next block(310). The control unit examines whether a buffer receives data completely(312). The control unit examines whether the erasing mode is completed(314). If not, the control unit stops the erasing mode(316). The control unit stores program data temporarily stored in the buffer in the flash memory(318). The control unit examines whether all program data to be stored on the flash memory are stored(320). If not, the control unit examines whether the erasing mode is in a stop state(322). If so, the control unit controls to execute the erasing mode to erase data of the flash memory(324).
