Representative sensors among various sensors that may be included in the sensing unit 140 will be described in more detail.
First, the proximity sensor 141 refers to a sensor that detects the presence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface, or the presence of an object in the vicinity of the detection surface, without mechanical contact by using electromagnetic force or infrared rays. The proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in the inner area of the mobile terminal or in proximity to the touch screen, which is covered by the touch screen.
Examples of the proximity sensor 141 include a transmission type photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection type photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection type photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation type proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor. In the case where the touch screen is electrostatic, the proximity sensor 141 can be configured to detect the proximity of the object with a change of the electric field along the proximity of the object having conductivity. In this case, the touch screen (or touch sensor) itself may be classified as a proximity sensor.
On the other hand, for convenience of explanation, the act of recognizing that the object is located on the touch screen in proximity with no object touching the touch screen is referred to as "proximity touch & The act of actually touching an object on the screen is called a "contact touch. &Quot; The position at which the object is closely touched on the touch screen means a position where the object corresponds to the touch screen vertically when the object is touched. The proximity sensor 141 can detect a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (e.g., a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, have. Meanwhile, the control unit 180 processes data (or information) corresponding to the proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern sensed through the proximity sensor 141 as described above, and further provides visual information corresponding to the processed data It can be output on the touch screen. Furthermore, the control unit 180 can control the mobile terminal 100 such that different operations or data (or information) are processed according to whether the touch to the same point on the touch screen is a proximity touch or a touch touch .
The touch sensor senses a touch (or touch input) applied to the touch screen (or the display unit 151) by using at least one of various touch methods such as a resistance film type, a capacitive type, an infrared type, an ultrasonic type, do.
For example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in a pressure applied to a specific portion of the touch screen or a capacitance generated in a specific portion to an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect a position, an area, a pressure at the time of touch, a capacitance at the time of touch, and the like where a touch object touching the touch screen is touched on the touch sensor. Here, the touch object may be a finger, a touch pen, a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like as an object to which a touch is applied to the touch sensor.
Thus, when there is a touch input to the touch sensor, the corresponding signal (s) is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal (s) and transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. Thus, the control unit 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched or the like. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component from the control unit 180, and may be the control unit 180 itself.
On the other hand, the control unit 180 may perform different controls or perform the same control according to the type of the touch object touching the touch screen (or a touch key provided on the touch screen). Whether to perform different controls or to perform the same control according to the type of the touch object may be determined according to the current state of the mobile terminal 100 or an application program being executed.

Touch can be sensed.
The ultrasonic sensor can recognize the position information of the object to be sensed by using ultrasonic waves. Meanwhile, the controller 180 can calculate the position of the wave generating source through the information sensed by the optical sensor and the plurality of ultrasonic sensors. The position of the wave source can be calculated using the fact that the light is much faster than the ultrasonic wave, that is, the time when the light reaches the optical sensor is much faster than the time the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. More specifically, the position of the wave generating source can be calculated using the time difference with the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the reference signal.
The camera 121 includes at least one of a camera sensor (for example, a CCD, a CMOS, etc.), a photo sensor (or an image sensor), and a laser sensor.
The camera 121 and the laser sensor may be combined with each other to sense a touch of the sensing object with respect to the three-dimensional stereoscopic image. The photosensor can be laminated to the display element, which is adapted to scan the movement of the object to be detected proximate to the touch screen. More specifically, the photosensor mounts photo diodes and TRs (Transistors) in a row / column and scans the contents loaded on the photosensor using an electrical signal that varies according to the amount of light applied to the photo diode. That is, the photo sensor performs coordinate calculation of the object to be sensed according to the amount of change of light, and position information of the object to be sensed can be obtained through the calculation.

Meanwhile, when there is a request for weather information from a user, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may acquire weather information in response to the request and provide the weather information. Here, the control unit 180 may provide the obtained weather information using various emotional phrases.
That is, the control unit 180 divides the weather information into at least two fields, that is, a weather fileld and an event field, and combines emotional phrases according to the obtained fields, It can be displayed as a request for weather information. Here, the weather field may be information related to a weather condition. For example, the weather field may be Sunny (when the weather is fine or cloudy), Cloudy (when the weather is cloudy or cloudy), Rainy (when the weather is in a rainy state), Snowy , And the like) may be values set to a predetermined time (morning, afternoon, evening, night). Based on these values, emotional weather information for the weather condition as shown in Table 1 below can be generated.
On the other hand, the event field may be generated when the received weather information is analyzed to meet predetermined conditions (conditions set in the event field). For example, the predetermined conditions may be preset conditions for the daytime difference, the daytime temperature difference, the humidity, the wind speed, the rainfall amount, and the snowfall amount. Accordingly, the control unit 180 can generate emotional weather information as shown in Table 2 according to the predetermined conditions.
Meanwhile, as shown in Table 2, the control unit 180 combines the emotional weather information generated when the currently received weather information satisfies the preset conditions with the sensible weather information set according to the weather state , The combined phrases may be output in response to the user's weather information request. In this case, for example, if the hourly weather condition is 'Sunny Sunny (afternoon) Sunny (night)' and the daytime difference between morning and evening is determined to be above a predetermined temperature Morning, afternoon, or more than 10 degrees), the control unit 180 determines whether or not the two above-mentioned temperatures are the same as in the case of "the weather is clear all day today but warm today but warm in the afternoon And weather information can be output by a combination of emotion phrases generated based on the field.
Meanwhile, the controller 180 may determine whether there is a request for the weather information through various methods. For example, when the user executes an application or the like for displaying the weather information, the controller 180 may determine that there is a request for the weather information. Alternatively, when the user sets the widget for displaying the weather information to be a home screen or a standby screen, it is determined that the weather information is requested whenever the home screen or the standby screen is displayed on the display unit 151 It is possible. Alternatively, when the weather information is set to be displayed as a widget or an application on the lock screen, the controller 180 may determine that the weather information is requested whenever the lock screen is displayed. Here, the lock screen may be a screen displayed on the display unit 151 when the mobile terminal 100 is in a locked state, wherein the locked state is a state in which the function of the mobile terminal 100 is at least one Or may be a state in which the restriction can be released according to a preset password or a plurality of knock codes of a predetermined pattern.
Accordingly, if the user sets the weather information to be displayed on the lock screen, the control unit 180 automatically turns off the display unit 151 after a predetermined time elapses, and at the same time, the mobile terminal 100 When the user turns on the power to the display unit 151, for example, when a touch input or knock of a predetermined number of times or more is detected, or when a preset key such as a power key is input, Information can be output as the sensible weather information. It goes without saying that the control unit 180 may output the sensible weather information even if the mobile terminal 100 is not unlocked.
In addition, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may output weather information that is determined to be necessary to the user based on not only the current weather information but also the result of analyzing the user's situation have. For example, the control unit 180 may analyze the present situation of the user or the user's future based on a predetermined schedule of the user, and may provide the weather-related information determined to be necessary to the user according to the analyzed result have. On the other hand, if there is no preset schedule from the user, it is possible to estimate the schedule of the user on the basis of the life pattern of the user or the movement route pattern of the time, and to provide various weather related information to the user based on the estimated schedule It is possible. For this, the controller 180 may generate user log information that allows a user to analyze a life pattern or a movement pattern.
Meanwhile, the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may provide various additional information together with current weather information. For example, when it is determined that there is a request from the user, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may provide image information related to the current weather to the user. The weather-related image information may be image information collected from other users who are using a specific service or from an external server that provides the weather information, and the user may select the weather-related image information corresponding to the current position of the user Or weather of a specific place, or may share an image photographed through the camera 121 provided with the mobile terminal with other users.
Further, the mobile terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention may not only provide weather-related information, but may also be provided with a weather forecast, such as a date on which a more suitable weather is expected, A more suitable activity, or a date on which the schedule is set, may suggest to the user another location where weather is more likely to be suitable for the schedule. For such a recommendation, the controller 180 may consider an activity more suitable for the weather of the day or the weather of the day, considering the situation of the user, that is, the location of the user, You can also recommend places to users.
Hereinafter, embodiments related to a control method that can be implemented in a mobile terminal configured as above will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a flow of an operation for providing weather information when there is a request for weather information in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As described above, the controller 180 can determine whether there is a request for weather information from the user in various ways. For example, when the execution of an application for displaying weather information is selected, or when a home screen or a lock screen including weather information is displayed, the controller 180 determines that there is a request for such weather information . It is needless to say that the above-described examples in which the controller 180 determines that there is a request for weather information are only examples of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, when the weather information is output through any other method or other process, it can be determined that there is a request for the weather information in the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 2, when there is a request for weather information, the control unit 180 can identify a location corresponding to a current time and a location of the current user (S200). Then, the controller 180 can analyze the user's situation based on the time determined in the step S200 (S202).
In step S202, the control unit 180 may analyze the user's situation in various ways. Here, the user's situation may be the user's current state and the user's next behavior. And the situation of such a user can be judged based on various information. The information for determining the status of the user may be an estimate that can be estimated from the current time, the location of the current user, a predetermined schedule of the user, a life pattern of a user, a route pattern, and the like.
The schedule may include not only the schedule of the user corresponding to the current time but also the schedule of the user set at the time after the current time. For example, if the time at which the weather information is requested by the user is 7:00 am and the 'work to go' schedule is set at 7:30 am, the control unit 180 sets the schedule of the user set after the current time, , The user can estimate the behavior of the user by performing a schedule of 'going to work' after 30 minutes. Or when the current location of the user is one point on the highway from Seoul to Busan, the controller 180 may set the present time It can be determined that the user is moving to 'Busan', which is a place included in the schedule, and that the user can determine the current state of the user and that the user intends to perform the schedule with the place information set to 'Busan'.
The schedule may include not only the schedule of the mobile terminal 100 but also a schedule set by the user through another device or the like. That is, when there is a schedule entered by the user into the schedule management service provided by another device or a specific external server, the control unit 180 accesses the other device or the specific external server, Information related to the schedule may be received. In addition, it is also possible to analyze the user's situation based on the schedule of the user according to the received information in step S202.
In addition, the control unit 180 can estimate the predetermined information even if the user does not set the predetermined information in advance. For example, the control unit 180 determines whether or not the user's life pattern or movement path pattern (e.g., a user's life pattern or movement path pattern) based on the log information (user log information) that records the movement path of the mobile terminal 100, Can be analyzed. Using the result of analyzing the user log information, the user's schedule can be estimated after the current time, and the user's situation can be analyzed according to the estimated schedule. The operation of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention for analyzing the user's situation according to whether or not there is a predetermined schedule will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
On the other hand, if the user's situation is analyzed in step S202, the controller 180 determines weather information of a specific place based on the analyzed user's situation, weather information of the current time Information (S204). For example, if it is determined in step S202 that there is no preset schedule or there is no schedule that can be estimated after the current time (the time when the weather information is requested), the controller 180 determines that the current location Only information about the current weather can be obtained. However, if there is a preset schedule or there is an estimated schedule after the current time (the time when the weather information is requested), the weather information of the specific time in relation to the schedule (or the estimated schedule) It is possible to acquire weather information of the current time with respect to the place corresponding to the position
For example, if schedule information for a specific place and a specific time (for example, 'Busan, 4 pm meeting') is included after the time of sensing the request for weather information, the controller 180 analyzes the schedule Information about a specific place ('Busan') and a specific time ('4 pm') can be obtained from the result. In step S204, the control unit 180 receives, from the server providing the weather information, information on the current weather at a location corresponding to the user's current location, , That is, information on the weather of '4 pm today'. In this case, it is needless to say that when the schedule includes information other than a specific time, that is, a specific time to a specific time, the control unit 180 may acquire weather information for the time.
On the other hand, the control unit 180 can acquire only the weather information of the place corresponding to the current user's location, even if there is a predetermined schedule or an estimated schedule after the time when the weather information is requested. For example, the controller 180 may acquire only the weather information corresponding to the current user's position according to the degree of the user's schedule (or the estimated schedule) after the current time, More weather information can be obtained. That is, if the schedule is not influenced by the weather or has a schedule of receiving less, it can acquire only the weather information of the place corresponding to the current user's location. However, if the schedule (or estimated schedule) after the time when the weather information is requested is a schedule that can be influenced by the weather, the weather forecast information for the place and time included in the schedule can be further obtained.
Whether or not the schedule is affected by the weather can be determined according to the result of analyzing the schedule. For example, as a result of analyzing the schedule, activities set as a schedule that is not affected by the weather or less in the schedule (for example, a meeting set in the same place as the user's current location, or indoor activities such as document work) If it is included in the schedule, it can be determined that the schedule is not affected by the weather or is scheduled to receive less. However, if the schedule includes activities such as outdoor sports such as golf, baseball, soccer, or the like, or meetings set at a place apart from a user's current position (at the time when weather information is requested) , The control unit 180 may determine that the schedule is a schedule affected by the weather.
In this case, whether or not the activity included in the schedule is influenced by the weather is determined based on whether the activity is designated as an activity influenced by the weather in advance or the distance between the position of the current user and the place corresponding to the schedule, Or more.
On the other hand, the acquisition of the weather information at a specific time for the specific place obtained in the step S204 may be limited according to a predetermined restriction condition. For example, if a plurality of schedules are set after the time when the weather information is requested, only a predetermined number of schedules may be analyzed in the order of the schedules close to the requested time of the weather information. Alternatively, the schedule set by the user and the schedule set directly by the user may be preferentially analyzed if there is an estimated schedule. Alternatively, as a result of analyzing the schedules, it is possible to preferentially analyze the schedules affected by the weather. Or the schedule may be analyzed only for the schedule included in the same date as the date when the weather information is requested.
Meanwhile, the limitation condition may be changed based on the time when the weather information is requested. That is, if the time at which the weather information is requested is the time of the work, for example, from 6:00 am to 9:00 am, the controller 180 determines whether the weather information is requested At least one can be analyzed. However, if the time when the weather information is requested is at night time, for example, from 9:00 pm to 6:00 am the next day, at least one of the schedules included on the day after the weather information is requested may be analyzed have.
On the other hand, if at least one weather information among the weather information of the specific time and the current time of the place corresponding to the location of the current user is obtained in step S204, Sensible weather information can be generated based on one piece of weather information (S206). In this case, weather information at a specific time corresponding to a user's schedule after the current time, as well as weather information at a place corresponding to the current location of the user, may be generated as sensible weather information.
The control unit 180 may output the sensible weather information in response to the weather information request (S208). Accordingly, the mobile terminal 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention can acquire not only the weather information according to the current user's location in response to the request for the weather information, but also weather information related to the user's schedule, By providing weather forecast information to the user, more useful weather information can be provided to the user. In addition, the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention not only provides the weather information as acquired weather information, but also provides emotional weather information expressed in an emotional phrase, thereby making the user more interested So that the user can be more friendly.
Meanwhile, according to the above description, the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention has described that it is possible to analyze a set schedule or an estimated schedule according to whether or not there is a preset schedule from the user .
FIG. 3 shows in more detail a process for acquiring information on a specific place and a specific time from a schedule or an estimable schedule set by the user according to whether or not there is a predetermined schedule.
3, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention determines whether the weather information is requested at step S200 and a location corresponding to the user's location at the corresponding time is confirmed , It is possible to detect whether there is a schedule set at the current time or later (S300). If it is determined in step S300 that there is a schedule set at the current time or a later time, the controller 180 analyzes the currently set schedule (S302) and sets the current schedule at the current time or a later time according to the analyzed result Information on a specific place and a specific time related to the schedule can be obtained (S304).
Here, the predetermined analysis may be based on the words included in the schedule. For example, in step S302, the control unit 180 determines, based on the text information input by the user about the schedule, information on the user to perform, that is, information on the activity of the user, Information can be distinguished. For example, in step S302, the controller 180 may classify the words included in the text information as related to the time, place, or activity through the keyword matching process. In step S304, Information about the time, place, or activity can be extracted from the information. Or if the user inputs text information related to the schedule on the basis of each tab separated into time, place, and activity, the time, place, and activity related to the schedule, based on the words input corresponding to each tab, Can be extracted.
Accordingly, if the user inputs the text information 'new product related meeting at 4 pm Pusan' as a schedule for a specific date, the control unit 180 extracts '4 pm' of the corresponding date from the input text information at step S304 City ', and extract the place information' Busan '. And can extract activity information called 'new product related meeting', that is, information about a work to be performed by the user in the schedule.
Then, the controller 180 proceeds to step S204 of FIG. 2 to obtain weather information corresponding to the extracted time information '4 pm' and the location information 'Busan' from the server providing the weather information . Then, it is possible to acquire weather information at the time identified in step S200 and the location corresponding to the location of the user. Accordingly, if the time at which the weather information is requested is 8:00 am and the user's location is 'Seoul', the controller 180 determines whether the weather information is requested at 8:00 am of Seoul Based on the weather information (the weather information of the current time of the place where the current user is located) and the weather information (the weather information of the specific place and the specific time corresponding to the set schedule) corresponding to " And generate sensible weather information.
Meanwhile, as described above, in the present invention, the schedules analyzed may be limited based on the time when the weather information is requested from the user. Accordingly, it is possible to limit the number of the schedules to be analyzed in step S300, and accordingly, the schedules that satisfy the predetermined restriction condition among the schedules after the requested time of the weather information, Only the schedules set on the same date as the date of the time when the weather information is requested can be analyzed in step S302.
Meanwhile, when all the information is not included in the schedule, the controller 180 may estimate the information on the place and time related to the schedule.
That is, when the user inputs text information for a schedule, information on any one of the place and the time is omitted, or if information about the place is not clearly specified, the control unit 180 determines It is needless to say that it is also possible to estimate the place or the time and to extract information according to the location or time.
For this, the control unit 180 may use the user log information. As described above, the user log information may include information on the movement path of the mobile terminal 100 and information including the location of the mobile terminal 100 in time. The control unit 180 can estimate the missing information even when the user misses information on the place or time using the user log information.
For example, when the user describes '8:00 pm swimming pool' as schedule information, the control unit 180 displays the user log information in the same time zone as the time information input by the user based on the user log information, Among places visited more than the preset number of times, it is possible to search for a place corresponding to a 'swimming pool' or a place having a name 'swimming pool'. The retrieved place can be extracted as place information related to the schedule. In this case, the emotional weather information generated based on the weather information of the searched place at '8PM' may be output in step S208 of FIG.
Also, it is needless to say that the user can extract the time information and the place information related to the schedule, even if the user only describes 'pool' as schedule information. That is, based on the user log information, the controller 180 determines whether the user has visited a predetermined number of times or visited a predetermined period of time or more, You can search for places with names. And information about the time that the user has visited mainly can be extracted for each searched place.
On the other hand, if a plurality of places related to the 'pool' are searched, the controller 180 can extract information about any one of the plurality of searched places based on the time when the weather information is requested have. That is, when the user has visited the A pool at 6:00 am and the B pool at 8:00 pm or more, or the ratio of the dates visited for a certain period of time is more than a preset number of times, If the time is before 6:00 am, the control unit 180 can extract the place information of the place where the 'A pool' is located and '6:00 am' as the time information. If it is before 8 o'clock, the control unit 180 may extract the place information of the place where the 'B pool' is located and '8:00 pm' as the time information.
Accordingly, when the user misses at least one of the place information or the time information related to the schedule, or the user does not clearly input the information about the specific place, the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention (For example, when a unique place name is not input), it is possible to extract information about the place and time related to the schedule.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S300 that the current time, that is, the time when the weather information is requested or thereafter is not set, the controller 180 may determine whether there is an estimated schedule (S310). In step S310, the controller 180 determines whether there is a travel route of a user who has repeatedly moved to a specific place more than a predetermined number of times within a predetermined time period after the weather information is requested, If there is a movement path of a user whose ratio of the date of moving to the specific place within a predetermined period is within a predetermined time from a predetermined level or higher within a predetermined period of time. However, if there is no such estimated period within the predetermined time, the controller 180 may directly proceed to step S204 of FIG. 2. In this case, Only information can be obtained.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S310 that there is an estimated schedule, the control unit 180 determines whether the user has moved to the specific place repeatedly for the predetermined number of times or more, Based on the movement path of the user having the predetermined level or higher (S312). Then, the control unit 180 proceeds to step S304 of FIG. 3 to extract information on the time when the user moved to the specific place and information on the specific place from the movement route.
Then, in step S204 of FIG. 2, the control unit 180 displays weather information based on the time information extracted in step S304 of FIG. 3 and information on a specific place, together with weather information of a place corresponding to the current user's location Can be obtained. The control unit 180 may generate emotional weather information corresponding to each obtained weather information in step S206 of FIG.
Therefore, even if the user does not directly input the schedule, the control unit 180 determines whether or not the schedule is input based on the movement route of the mobile terminal 100 or the location information (e.g., user log information) of the mobile terminal 100 by time It is possible to determine a place or route visited by the user at a specific time as an estimateable schedule. If there is an estimated schedule, the schedule that can be estimated can be analyzed (S312), and the time information and the place information according to the analyzed result can be extracted in step S312 of FIG. 3 .
For example, when the time when the weather information is requested is 6:30 am, the control unit 180 may set the time zone in which the user mainly goes to work, that is, 7:00 am to 9:00 am, It can be assumed that there is a virtual schedule of "going to work". Then, based on the result of the analysis of the estimated schedule, time information '7:00 am to 9:00 am' can be extracted, and the destination of the user who moved at the relevant time, that is, 'work address' Can be extracted. In this case, weather information on the extracted time information and the place information can be obtained, and the controller 180 generates the sensible weather information based on the obtained weather information, and generates sensible weather information Can be output.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S310 that the date on which the weather information is requested is a predetermined specific date, the controller 180 may estimate whether the user has a schedule. That is, even if the user does not have a schedule, the control unit 180 may be configured to estimate the schedule and to generate the sensible weather information when the corresponding date is the predetermined anniversary or season.
Meanwhile, according to the above description, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may provide not only weather information but also various additional information. Fig. 4 shows in more detail the flow of the operation process of providing weather information and associated additional information in this case.
Referring to FIG. 4, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, when outputting emotional weather information in step S208 of FIG. 2, It can be displayed separately and output. For example, the control unit 180 displays a highlight corresponding to the name of the place in the sensible weather information using a variety of graphic objects such as a highlight, an outline, an underline, or an icon You may.
Here, when the name of the specific place is included in the sensible weather information, the controller 180 can check whether there is image information collected by other users for the place or an external server providing weather information. If there is the collected image information, the name of the specific place can be displayed separately. In this case, if the collected images are images related to the current weather, the controller 180 can separately display the portions corresponding to the weather corresponding to the images among the sensible weather information.
Alternatively, when the name of the predetermined place capable of providing the additional information is included, the control unit 180 can display the name of the place separately. Here, the additional information that can be provided may be determined according to the current time, i.e., the time when the user requested weather information, as well as the current time including the date of the corresponding day. Alternatively, when the preset location is previously set to provide the specific additional information, the control unit 180 may display the name of the corresponding location separately if the predetermined location is included in the sensible weather information.
In this case, the control unit 180 may determine whether there is a user's request for the additional information (S402). For example, if there is a user input (e.g., a touch input) for a portion marked separately, the controller 180 determines that the user has requested supplementary information related to the portion corresponding to the input of the user It can be judged. Then, the control unit 180 may receive the additional information corresponding to the user's request from the service providing entity related to the service providing the additional information (S404).
Here, the 'service providing entity related to the service providing additional information' may be an external server providing the weather information. Or in the case where there is a separate predetermined external server for providing the additional information. In this case, the additional server may acquire the additional information from another user or an external server that provides the weather information, and a specific location providing the additional information, and transmits the additional information to the mobile terminal 100). Alternatively, the 'service providing entity' may be a community service among users who provide weather information of a specific place. In this case, the control unit 180 may receive, from the mobile terminal 100 of another user, The image may be directly received as the additional information.
Meanwhile, the control unit 180 may display at least one additional information received in step S404 (S406). For example, if the additional information is a plurality of images, the control unit 180 may simultaneously display thumbnail images corresponding to each of the plurality of images on at least some areas on the display unit 151. [
In step S408, the control unit 180 may display detailed information on at least one additional information corresponding to the user's selection among the at least one additional information displayed on the display unit 151 (S408). For example, the control unit 180 may display an image corresponding to one selected from a plurality of thumbnail images displayed on the display unit 151 on the display unit 151, The place and the time can be displayed. An example in which a plurality of thumbnail images are displayed as additional information selected by a user and an image corresponding to one of the thumbnail images is displayed will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.
It goes without saying that the control unit 180 may also display a plurality of additional information selected by the user on the divided area of the display unit 151 so that the user can compare two or more additional information at the same time . Accordingly, at least two of the images corresponding to the plurality of thumbnail images can be displayed on the display unit 151 at the same time. Or different additional information about a specific place may be displayed on the display unit 151. [
In addition, when the emotional weather information includes the phrases including different additional information, the control unit 180 may add the different additional information to the area on the display unit 151 It is of course possible to display them simultaneously.
According to the above description, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention not only provides the weather-related information, The user may recommend to the user a more suitable activity corresponding to the weather of the date, or the date on which the current schedule is set, or another place where the weather more suitable for the schedule is expected on the set date. 5 to 8 illustrate an operation procedure of the mobile terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention to provide various recommendation information related to the weather of a predetermined date.
5 illustrates an operation process of providing various information related to the weather of a predetermined date when there is a schedule confirmation request from the user.
5, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 may analyze at least one schedule in response to the request when there is a schedule confirmation request (S500) . Here, the controller 180 may determine that the schedule confirmation request exists when the date on which the weather information is requested is a predetermined date.
For example, when there is a request for date information from a user on a predetermined date such as every Monday or every first month of the month, the control unit 180 may analyze the schedule included in the week or the month. In this case, the control unit 180 can confirm whether or not the schedule analysis is performed in advance, and it is also possible to analyze the schedule only when the analysis is confirmed according to the user's selection.
On the other hand, the control unit 180 may determine that there is a schedule confirmation request when a preset event is generated as well as when a schedule confirmation is directly requested from the user. Here, the predetermined event may be a sudden weather change such as a weather change or a new schedule is set by the user. Alternatively, if there is a preset schedule, the controller 180 may determine that there is a schedule confirmation request according to the remaining time up to the preset schedule (for example, five days before).
If it is determined that there is a schedule confirmation request, the controller 180 may select a schedule to be analyzed according to the request in step S500. That is, the controller 180 may select the schedule set in the predetermined period in step S500 or may select a new schedule set by the user as the schedule to be analyzed. In operation S502, the controller 180 may extract schedules affected by the weather among the schedules selected in operation S500.
For example, when the activities described in the selected schedule are activities preset for a schedule influenced by the weather (such as outdoor sports such as golf, baseball, soccer, and the like, Meeting, etc.), the controller 180 can determine that the schedule is a schedule affected by the weather. In this case, the control unit 180 may extract the schedule as the schedule affected by the weather in step S502.
The controller 180 may obtain appropriate weather information for each of the schedules extracted in step S502 (S504). For example, when the activity included in the extracted schedule is 'golf', the controller 180 may obtain optimal weather information suitable for 'golf'. Here, the optimal weather information may be information previously stored in the memory 170 for each predetermined 'activity', or may be received from a predetermined external server for a service providing the recommendation information. Here, the external server may be a predetermined external server for providing weather information.
Then, the control unit 180 may obtain the forecasted weather information for the place included in the predetermined schedule on the schedule (S506). In this case, the controller 180 may estimate the location information using the user log information even when the location information is not included in the schedule. Or if the location information included in the schedule is not specified even when the user log information is used (for example, when the number of times the user visited the site is less than a predetermined number), the control unit 180 notifies the user Of course, it is also possible to input location information.
In step S508, the weather information predicted on the predetermined date of the place corresponding to the schedule acquired in step S506 may be compared with the optimal weather information suitable for the activities included in the schedule in step S504. In step S508, the controller 180 may compare the weather forecast information obtained in step S506 with the optimal weather information obtained in step S506 for each weather element such as the weather condition, temperature, humidity, The degree of matching can be evaluated. Based on the values evaluated for each weather element, the controller 180 can calculate the degree of fitness (fitness) of the expected weather of the date of the place included in the schedule, according to the activities included in the schedule. In this case, the user may assign a weight according to a user's selection to a specific weather element, for example, temperature or humidity, and the controller 180 may calculate the fitness by reflecting the weighted value .
The control unit 180 may determine whether the expected weather of the date of the place included in the schedule is appropriate for the activity included in the schedule, based on the calculated fitness. For example, the control unit 180 may determine that the predicted weather of the date is appropriate for the activity included in the schedule only when the calculated fitness is equal to or higher than a predetermined level. As a result of the determination, if the calculated fitness is less than a predetermined level, the controller 180 may provide recommendation information to the user (S510).
For example, the recommendation information may be information on another date that is more appropriate for the activities included in the schedule. Or the recommendation information may be information on another activity that is more suitable for the schedule date. Alternatively, the recommendation information may be information on another place where more suitable weather is expected to perform the activities included in the schedule on the corresponding date. Hereinafter, the operation flow of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention in which information on other dates or information on other activities or information on other places is provided as recommendation information will be described with reference to Figs. 6 to 8 .
6 shows an operation procedure for recommending a date on which a more suitable weather is expected based on a predetermined schedule.
Referring to FIG. 6, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention determines whether the fitness calculated in step S510 is less than a preset level, At least one matching date can be selected (S600). Here, the condition set by the user may be related to the characteristic of each day of the week. In other words, the user can designate specific characteristics for each day of the week such as weekends, public holidays, weekdays, etc. In this case, the controller 180 may display the weekday designated by the user for a predetermined period (for example, a week or a month) May be selected from the dates of the preset period.
If it is determined in step S600 that the dates match the conditions specified by the user, the control unit 180 may obtain the weather information of the selected dates (S602). The control unit 180 may compare the obtained predicted weather information with weather information suitable for the activities included in the schedule. In operation S604, it is possible to extract the dates suitable for the activities included in the schedule, based on the comparison result. The information on the extracted dates may be provided as the recommendation information (S606).
In step S606, the controller 180 may provide information on the dates in various ways. For example, the control unit 180 may display an area corresponding to the dates extracted in step S604 from the area of other dates on the schedule management screen or the screen on which the calendar is displayed. For example, the control unit 180 distinguishes some areas of the schedule management screen or calendar corresponding to the extracted dates from areas of other dates by using a predetermined graphic object such as a highlight or an outline mark of a predetermined thickness Can be displayed. Hereinafter, an example of the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, which provides information on at least one other date as recommendation information, will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
On the other hand, the control unit 180 may similarly provide information on other activities that are more suitable for the weather of a predetermined date instead of other dates as recommendation information. Fig. 7 shows an operation procedure for recommending a more suitable activity based on the weather of the set schedule in such a case.
Referring to FIG. 7, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention determines whether the fitness calculated in step S510 is less than a preset level, Information of the weather can be obtained (S700). For example, the information of the weather suitable for each of these plurality of activities may be stored in the memory 170 or obtained from a predetermined external server providing services related to the present invention. Here, the predetermined external server may be a server for providing weather information.
In operation S702, the control unit 180 may extract at least one activity corresponding to the weather of the current day based on the optimal weather information corresponding to the activities obtained in the operation S702. Here, the control unit 180 may extract the at least one activity in various ways. For example, the control unit 180 may extract the at least one activity based on the best weather corresponding to each activity and the fitness calculated by comparing the weather with the predetermined date. Alternatively, the control unit 180 may extract activities among the plurality of activities whose calculated fitness is equal to or higher than a predetermined level, and extract at least one of the extracted activities according to user preference. Here, the user preference may be input directly by the user, or may be based on the user log information so that a higher priority is set for activities that the user performs more frequently.
In addition, the control unit 180 may extract at least one activity, further reflecting whether the calculated fitness is greater than or equal to a preset level, and whether or not it can replace the currently set activity. For example, when the currently set schedule activity is 'golf', if the expected weather is 'non-scheduled' on the scheduled date, the control unit 180 determines that the scheduled activity is not suitable for the weather . In this case, the control unit 180 may extract activities that can be performed in the indoor space such as 'bowling', 'swimming', 'indoor golf', etc., instead of 'golf' , It is possible to extract an activity that can substitute for 'golf', that is, 'indoor golf', as an activity having a higher priority than other activities.
In step S702, if at least one activity more suitable for the expected weather is selected on the predetermined date, the controller 180 provides the information on the selected activities as recommendation information according to the priority of the activity (S704). For example, the control unit 180 may display information on at least one activity selected in step S704 in one area on the display unit 151 according to the priority order.
Here, the information on the at least one activity may be displayed on a schedule management screen displayed on the display unit 151 or a region on the display unit 151 corresponding to the predetermined date of the calendar. If the user selects at least one of the at least one piece of information, the control unit 180 may display information about the selected activity instead of the currently set activity on the set day of the schedule or together with the currently set activity . In this case, the schedule including the activity set by the user may be replaced with a schedule including the activity based on the recommendation information (in the case where the activity based on the recommendation information is displayed instead of the currently set activity) It can be replaced with a schedule that includes activities based on referral information as well as the activity you set (if displayed along with the currently set activity).
In the description of FIG. 7, the controller 180 acquires optimal weather information suitable for a plurality of activities in advance. However, the controller 180 needs to acquire the optimal weather information in advance Of course. For example, the information on the plurality of activities may be stored in advance in a server providing services related to the present invention. In this case, the control unit 180 can specify only a specific date, request information about an activity suitable for the date, and obtain information on activities suitable for the weather from the server. The recommendation information may be provided based on the obtained information.
Hereinafter, an example in which information on other activities more suitable for the weather expected at the current schedule is provided as recommendation information will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.
Meanwhile, the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention not only provides information on other dates or other activities as recommendation information, but also can provide information on other dates It is of course possible to provide information on the recommendation information. Fig. 8 shows an operation procedure for recommending another place where a more suitable weather is expected based on a schedule set in this case and a date on which the schedule is set.
8, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention determines whether the fitness calculated in step S510 is less than a predetermined level or not, A location can be searched (S800). That is, for example, when the activity included in the schedule is 'golf', the control unit 180 may search other places where the user can play 'golf', that is, other golf courses. The control unit 180 obtains weather information predicted for each of the searched places on the predetermined date, and based on the obtained weather information, the user can obtain optimal weather for the activities included in the schedule Locations can be extracted.
The control unit 180 may set a priority for the extracted places (S802). The priority may be set based on at least one predetermined criterion. For example, the control unit 180 determines whether or not the user has visited the mobile communication terminal 100 according to the number of times the mobile communication terminal 180 has visited the mobile communication terminal 100 and the distance from the predetermined reference location (e.g., , Or the priority of the extracted places based on various criteria such as the characteristics of the place, that is, the evaluation information of the users or the traffic information to the place, or whether the place has a parking lot or the area of the place . Here, the control unit 180 may calculate scores for each of these criteria and set the priority according to the calculated score. In this case, the user may assign a weight according to the user's selection to a specific criterion, and the controller 180 may set the priority by reflecting the weighted value.
The controller 180 may provide information on the extracted locations as recommendation information (S804). For example, the control unit 180 may select at least one of the extracted locations according to the set priority, sort information about the selected at least one location, and display the sorted information on at least one area on the display unit 151 have. Here, the information on the at least one place may be displayed on a schedule management screen displayed on the display unit 151 or a region on the display unit 151 corresponding to the predetermined date of the calendar. Hereinafter, an example in which information on at least one other place related to a schedule set on a specific date is recommended will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.
In the above description, the operation of providing various information related to the weather information and the weather information in the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the flowcharts.
Hereinafter, an example of providing various information related to weather information and weather information in the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. .
According to the above description, when there is a weather information request from the user, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention provides not only the time when the weather information is requested but also weather information based on the user's schedule It can be done. And that weather information based on the user's schedule as well as weather information corresponding to the time when the weather information is requested can be provided in the form of emotional weather information. 9A and 9B are views showing examples of emotional weather information displayed on the mobile terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention.
Here, the above-mentioned request for the weather information may include all cases in which the weather information is displayed on the display unit 151. That is, when the user sets weather information to be displayed on at least a part of the lock screen when the mobile terminal 100 is in the locked state, as shown in the first drawing of FIGS. 9A and 9B, The controller 180 switches the knock or touch input of the predetermined number of times to the request of the weather information, for example, when the display unit 151 of the display unit 100 switches from the inactive state to the active state based on a predetermined number of knocks, .
The control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention can analyze the user's situation based on the user's schedule information when it is determined that there is a request for weather information. According to the analysis result, different weather information can be provided.
9A and 9B, when it is determined that there is a request for weather information at 9:10 am, the controller 180 determines whether the weather information is requested at 9:10 am on the basis of predetermined schedule information or the like, &Quot; can be detected. In this case, the controller 180 may provide weather information differently depending on the current position of the user.
For example, if the user's location (e.g., 'game') at the time of the weather information request (9:10 am) is the same as the location (e.g., 'game' The controller 180 may determine that the user does not need to perform the remote movement in order to perform the schedule set at 2:00 PM. Accordingly, as shown in the second diagram of FIG. 9A, the control unit 180 can display the sensible weather information 900, which does not include the place information, on the display unit 151. This is because the weather information 902 of the current time (9:10 am) and the forecast weather information 904 of the specific time (2:00 pm) based on the user schedule are all the same or identical ('Daejeon'), Because it is weather information for.
However, if the location corresponding to the location of the user at the time of the weather information (9:10 am) is different from the location included in the set schedule, the control unit 180 determines whether the user is included in the schedule It can be judged that there is a situation in which it is necessary to 'move' to a place. Accordingly, in providing emotional weather corresponding to the predetermined time, the controller 180 may display 'emotional weather information 950' shown in the second diagram of FIG. 9B, Likewise, the emotion phrase according to the analyzed user's situation may be displayed as the emotional weather information.
In addition, as shown in the second diagram of FIG. 9B, the control unit 180 may display weather information 952 of a place corresponding to the current location of the user at the time when the weather information is requested (9:10 am) More accurate weather information can be provided to the user by displaying the expected weather information 954 at a time corresponding to the corresponding schedule of the place included in the set schedule on the display unit 151. [
Here, whether or not the current position of the user and the preset predetermined place are the same may be determined according to a preset reference. For example, the control unit 180 determines whether or not the current position of the user corresponds to the current location of the current user and whether the location of the current location is within the same area (for example, the same administrative zone) Can be determined to be the same or different. Or the controller 180 determines that the current position of the user is equal to or different from a predetermined fixed location based on whether the current user's position and the distance between the locations included in the predetermined schedule are greater than a predetermined distance You may.
Meanwhile, according to the above description, even when the user does not input all the information related to the schedule or the specific schedule is not set according to the embodiment of the present invention, the information included in the schedule or the next schedule of the user It is possible that the FIGS. 10A and 10B are examples showing examples of emotional weather information displayed in accordance with the user's schedule based on the estimable information in such a case.
10A and 10B, when a predetermined number of knock or touch inputs are applied while the display unit 151 is in the inactive state, the control unit 180 transmits a request for weather information . In addition, if the weather information is set to be displayed on the home screen instead of the lock screen, if the home screen is displayed after the mobile terminal 100 is released from the locked state, It may be determined that there is a request for the weather information.
First, referring to FIG. 10A, the second diagram of FIG. 10A shows an example of a case where only a description of 'fitness' or 'exercise' is inputted with a schedule set after the time when it is determined that there is a request for weather information . For example, if the user does not specify a specific place and inputs the schedule only in the 'fitness field' or 'exercise', the control unit 180 can estimate the next schedule based on the inputted information.
That is, the controller 180 can estimate the place and time corresponding to the description of the 'fitness field' or 'exercise', based on the description of the 'fitness field' or 'exercise' and the user log information. For example, if the user has visited the 'A fitness facility' for a predetermined number of times or more after the user has left work, or if the user has visited the 'A fitness facility' for a predetermined period of time, Or " exercise " may be presumed to be the " A " The control unit 180 may extract information on the place corresponding to the 'A fitness center' and the time when the user enters and exits the 'A fitness center' from the user log information. Based on the extracted times, (For example, the average of the times of entering and exiting) as the emotional weather information 1000 as shown in the second drawing of FIG. 10A .
Then, as shown in the second drawing of FIG. 10A, more detailed weather information 1002 for the current time (4:00 pm) and estimated time (8:00 pm) based on the description of 'fitness field' More detailed weather information 1004 may be displayed together.
In the meantime, FIG. 10A illustrates an example of estimating an unclear part when a certain schedule is not explicitly specified in the case where there is a schedule. However, even if there is no schedule directly listed by the user, It is also possible to output the sensible weather information for the estimated and estimated schedule. Fig. 10B shows an example of such a case.
For example, when the user leaves the home at about 6:00 PM, the control unit 180 can estimate the next schedule based on the user. That is, when the weather information is not specifically set after the time when the weather information is requested (4:00 pm), the control unit 180 determines the time at which the user mainly goes to work, that is, It can be assumed that there is a schedule of 'leaving work' from a location (for example, a work address) to a predetermined place (for example, a user's home), and weather information about the schedule can be obtained. Accordingly, as shown in the second diagram of FIG. 10B, the control unit 180 obtains weather information corresponding to the current time and forecast weather information corresponding to the user's departure time in response to the request for weather information .
Meanwhile, it goes without saying that the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may output a plurality of weather information about the estimated schedule. For example, if the user enters or exits a specific place such as 'A fitness center' for a predetermined number of times after the work-out time or more than the preset number of times for a preset period, May go to a place such as the 'A fitness facility' after leaving work. In this case, the control unit 180 may further obtain, for the specific place, the predicted weather information of the time at which the user mainly enters or exits the specific place.
Accordingly, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention can generate the sensed weather information and output the estimated at least one schedule information. In this case, as shown in the second diagram of FIG. 10B, the emotion phrase 'now is not rain, but is generated based on the weather information 1052 of the current time (4:00 pm) , The emotion phrase generated based on the weather information 1054 according to the estimated first user's schedule, 'It seems to rain when leaving work', and the weather information 1056 according to the estimated second user's schedule Emotional phrases generated by 'If you are going to exercise, come out a little early. The sensible weather information 1050 combined with 'I have news of the night' can be output.
Meanwhile, according to the above description, when the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention corresponds to a specific day such as a predetermined anniversary or a season, I have mentioned the possibility. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating examples in which emotional weather information according to a predetermined specific day is provided in the mobile terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention. 11, when weather information is displayed when the display unit 151 is activated, when there is a knock or touch input of a predetermined number of times or more in a state in which the display unit 151 is inactive, . However, when the display unit 151 is activated, as well as when there is a request for confirmation of weather information directly from the user, or when the locked state of the mobile terminal 100 is released, Of course.
Referring to FIG. 11, the second diagram of FIG. 11 shows an example of a case where weather information is requested from a user at 11:10 am on July 18, which is a 'duplicate'. In this case, the control unit 180 can estimate the schedule related to the lunch based on the time at which the weather information is requested, the user log information, a predetermined schedule, and the like. Based on the current date, The emotional weather information 1100 including the phrases such as 'Samgyetang' related to 'redundancy' can be generated as shown in the second diagram of FIG.
Meanwhile, according to the above description, the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may provide not only weather information but also various additional information. 12A and 12B are diagrams showing examples in which, in such a case, additional information related to the current weather is provided in the mobile terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention.
12A, when the display unit 151 is in the inactive state and there is a touch input by the user, the controller 180 activates the display unit 151, At the same time, it can be determined that a request for weather information is received (for example, when a widget or the like on which the weather information is displayed is installed on the lock screen).
In this case, the control unit 180 may generate emotional weather information based on the user's schedule at and after the time when the weather information is requested, and display the sensible weather information on the display unit 151. Here, the user schedule can be estimated according to the schedule, user log information, characteristics of the day (whether it is a specific day), and the like, as described above.
Meanwhile, the controller 180 may reflect the current position of the user and generate the sensible weather information corresponding thereto. And emotional weather information including a name of a predetermined place in which specific additional information can be provided. For example, when the user's position at the time when weather information is requested is within a predetermined range from the 'A bridge', the controller 180 controls the 'A bridge &Quot; can be generated. In this case, the controller 180 may provide additional information corresponding to the name of the 'A bridge' and information about the most beautiful time or place of the evening glow in the 'A bridge'. In this case, the controller 180 may display the portion of the sensible weather information that is related to the additional information, that is, the portion corresponding to the name of the 'A bridge', so that the user can selectively confirm the supplementary information have.
In addition, as described with reference to FIG. 11, the controller 180 may generate the weather information and the weather forecast information when the weather information corresponds to a specific day, such as a predetermined anniversary or season. In this case, the control unit 180 may generate and output emotional weather information according to the characteristics of the anniversary or season and the present position of the user. That is, as shown in the second drawing of FIG. 12A, when the weather information is requested by the user, the control unit 180 determines whether the user is leaving the home based on the time (6:40 pm) To the home of the user, and may generate the sensible weather information based on the determined state of the user.
Here, the emotion flag information may be generated by reflecting the characteristics of the anniversary or season of the day. Accordingly, as shown in the second diagram of FIG. 12A, when the current date is' Duplicate ', the controller 180 can generate emotional weather information including phrases such as' have.
Meanwhile, the controller 180 may further reflect the current user's position in determining the user's situation. For example, if the current position of the user who is leaving the home is within a certain distance from the 'A-mart', which is the number of times the user has visited a predetermined number of times or visited for a certain period of time or more, Information may be generated. Accordingly, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention can generate emotional weather information by reflecting both the characteristics of the anniversary or season, the present user's schedule, and the current location of the user , So that the sensible weather information 1200 as shown in the second drawing of Fig. 12A can be generated.
On the other hand, the controller 180 may display the portion 1202 related to the additional information in the sensible weather information 1200 separately from other portions. For example, the controller 180 may analyze the status of the user, that is, a state in which the user is 'leaving' and is located near 'A-Mart' The additional information to be provided can be determined. That is, the control unit 180 can display the portion 1202 corresponding to 'A-Mart' among the sensible weather information 1200, differently from other portions, based on the user's situation, In the case of selecting 'A-mart' as shown in the figure, when the part 1202 marked as 'A-mart' is selected, among the information provided in the 'A-mart', information related to the characteristic of the anniversary or season of the day, Information about the product can be selected as additional information. Accordingly, as shown in the fourth diagram of FIG. 12A, information 1210 relating to products related to 'duplication' among the products sold in 'A-Mart' is output on the display unit 151 as additional information .
Meanwhile, these additional information may be provided in various forms. For example, the additional information may be images. That is, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention displays emotional weather information and transmits the emotional weather information to the user, If there is an image, it may be provided as the additional information. 12B is a diagram illustrating an example of providing images shared from other users as additional information in the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
12B, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention determines whether a current location (time when weather information is requested) The weather information 1250 including the current weather ('rain' 1262) of the current user 'Seoul' 1260 and a place corresponding to the next user's schedule ('Daejeon' 1264) It is showing. The detailed weather information 1252 of the place corresponding to the current position of the user and the predicted weather information 1254 of the place and time corresponding to the following schedule are displayed.
In this state, the control unit 180 can display the portions related to the additional information among the information included in the sensible weather information separately from other portions. And wherein the additional information may be shared images, if there are shared images from other users for a particular location or weather condition.
For example, if there is an image shared by other users with respect to a specific place ('Seoul') and a weather condition ('rain') of the current time, , The portion corresponding to 'Seoul' corresponding to the specific location and the specific weather condition 'rain' among the sensible weather information can be displayed separately from other portions. In addition, the part corresponding to another specific place, that is, the 'battle', can be displayed separately from the other parts.
In this case, when the user selects at least one of the separately displayed portions, the control unit 180 may display the additional information corresponding to the selected portion on at least a part of the area on the display unit 151. [ That is, as shown in the second diagram of FIG. 12B, the controller 180 outputs images 1270 shared by other users on the display unit 151 in relation to the selected place or weather condition from the user .
In this case, as shown in the second diagram of FIG. 12B, only the thumbnail images 1270 corresponding to the images shared by the other users are transmitted to a server (for example, weather Information providing server). And display the received plurality of thumbnail images 1270 on one screen at the same time. This is for the user to be able to simultaneously view shared images from other users so that only the more reliable images among the shared images can be identified. That is, the controller 180 can simultaneously check and compare the plurality of thumbnail images 1270 to determine reliability of images corresponding to each of the plurality of thumbnail images 1270. Accordingly, for example, when all the other images are photographed in rain or cloudy weather, if only one of the images shows clear weather or sunny weather, the user can compare the plurality of thumbnail images 1270 It can be determined that the image showing the clear weather or the sunny weather is a low-reliability image.
12B, in a state where a plurality of thumbnail images 1270 are displayed, the control unit 180 detects whether or not there is a user's selection for one of the thumbnail images 1272 can do. 12B, when the user applies a touch input to an area on the display unit 151 on which one of the thumbnail images 1272 is displayed, the control unit 180 displays the corresponding thumbnail image 1272 ) May be selected by the user.
In this case, the controller 180 receives the image corresponding to the selected thumbnail image 1272 and outputs the received image on the display unit 151 as shown in the fourth drawing of FIG. 12B. In this case, various information related to the received image, that is, information on the time (1282) at which the image was photographed and the photographed location (1284), may be further displayed. Meanwhile, the image related information may be information that is shared by the user who shared the image, and at least some information may not be displayed according to the selection of the user who shared the image.
12A and 12B, only one additional information is output. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but is for the purpose of facilitating understanding of the present invention. That is, the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention can output at least two or more additional information according to a user's selection on the display unit 151. In this case, , And the display unit 151, respectively.
According to the above description, in the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide weather information more easily than a date on which a current weather is set, A more suitable activity corresponding to the weather of the set date, or another place where the weather more suitable for the schedule is expected on the set date, may be recommended to the user. 13 to 15 show examples of such a case.
First, FIG. 13 illustrates an example in which, in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, a date in which a more suitable weather is expected based on a set schedule is recommended.
According to the above description, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may be configured such that when there is a request for weather information from a user on a predetermined date, It is possible to determine that there is a schedule confirmation request in the case such as when a preset event occurs or the like. In the following description, when a user executes a function related to schedule management, it is assumed that the schedule management analysis request is determined to be an example. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited thereto.
In this case, the first diagram in Fig. 13 shows an example in which the schedule management screen 1300 is displayed on the display unit 151. [ That is, when the user performs a function related to the schedule management, as shown in the first drawing of FIG. 13, the schedule management screen 1300 can be displayed. In the schedule management screen 1300, Date, and information related to the activity ('golf' 1302) related to the schedule set on the date may be displayed.
In this state, the controller 180 may analyze the schedule within a predetermined period from the current time (the time when it is determined that the schedule confirmation request is present). That is, if it is determined that the schedule management analysis request is made on March 1, and the predetermined period is one week, the controller 180 analyzes the schedule set within one week from March 1 Can be performed. Accordingly, the controller 180 can analyze the schedule set on March 7th.
Here, the schedule analysis may be an analysis of the activity ('golf' 1302) set in the schedule, the place related to the schedule, and the weather information related to the date on which the schedule is set. That is, the control unit 180 acquires weather information expected at a place and time related to the schedule on the date of the current schedule, March 7, and acquires weather information from the acquired information and activities 1302 ) With each other to determine whether the weather of the current schedule is suitable for performing the schedule or not. As a result of the determination, if it is not suitable, the display unit 151 may display a screen 1310 for selecting whether to recommend a different date to the user, as shown in the second diagram of FIG.
If the user selects a recommendation for another date on the screen 1310 for selecting whether or not to recommend the date, the control unit 180 can search for a date in which the weather is more suitable for the currently set schedule activity. In this case, the control unit 180 may select a condition for selecting the date from the user, and the condition may be related to characteristics of each day of the week such as weekends, holidays, weekdays, and the like.
Accordingly, the control unit 180 may display a screen 1320 for selecting a condition for searching for a recommended date from the user, as shown in the third drawing of FIG. If the user selects a specific day of week characteristic (for example, 'weekend' 1322) on the condition selection screen 1320, the control unit 180 matches the condition selected by the user during the preset period, , March 14 (1330), and March 28 (1332), which have more suitable weather for the activities (" Golf ": 1302) In this case, the control unit 180 displays an area corresponding to the recommended date (March 14: 1330, March 28: 1332) among the schedule management screen 1300 in a manner different from the area corresponding to another date Thereby indicating that the dates are the recommended dates.
Meanwhile, FIG. 13 shows an example in which another date having a more suitable weather for performing the currently set schedule is recommended, but it is needless to say that it is also possible to recommend an activity more suitable for the weather expected at the current schedule date. FIG. 14 is an exemplary view illustrating an example in which a more suitable activity is recommended based on the weather of a predetermined date in the mobile terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention.
For example, when the user performs a function related to the schedule management, the control unit 180 can determine that there is a schedule management analysis request from the user. As shown in the first drawing of FIG. 14, 1400) may be displayed. In the schedule management screen 1400, information related to a date on which the current schedule is set and activities related to the schedule set on the date ('golf' 1402) may be displayed.
In this case, the controller 180 may analyze the activity ('golf') 1402 set in the schedule, the place related to the schedule, and the weather information related to the date on which the schedule is set. That is, the control unit 180 obtains weather information expected at a place and time related to the schedule on the date of the current schedule, March 7, and obtains the information obtained by the activity 1402 ) With each other to determine whether the weather of the current schedule is suitable for performing the schedule or not. As a result of the determination, if it is not suitable, as shown in the second drawing of FIG. 14, a screen 1410 for selecting whether or not to recommend a substitute schedule to be performed on the day is displayed on the display unit 151 can do.
Then, the controller 180 displays information 1420 on other activities more suitable for the weather of the present day on the display unit 151, based on the user's selection of the alternative schedule recommendation selection screen 1410, Can be displayed on the screen. For example, as shown in the drawings of FIG. 14, when the predicted weather of March 7 is set to 'rain', the control unit 180 replaces the activity 'golf' As an alternative activity, it is possible to recommend to the user information about activities that can be performed indoors.
In this case, the control unit 180 may select at least one of the alternative activities based on various criteria. For example, the control unit 180 may select at least one activity according to a user's preference among a plurality of activities set to 'indoor activity'. Here, the user preference may be determined by the user, or based on the user log information, the number of visits to the place related to the specific indoor activity, the ratio of the day visited during the predetermined period, and the like. Alternatively, if there is a substitute activity that can replace the currently set schedule, that is, 'golf', among the above indoor activities, it is possible to select at least one substitutable activity (for example, 'indoor golf'). And at least one activity selected based on these criteria may be displayed on the display unit 151 as the alternative activity information 1420 shown in the third drawing of FIG.
If there is a user's selection of any one of the substitute activities included in the substitute activity information 1420, the controller 180 may reflect the selection in the user's schedule. That is, as shown in the third diagram of FIG. 14, if the user selects 'Swim' 1422 among the currently selected alternative activities, the controller 180 displays the alternative activity 'Swim' Can be reflected. In this case, the controller 180 may change the activity to 'swim' instead of the currently designated activity 'golf' at the current scheduled date, or may change the currently designated activity 'golf' 1402) and an alternative action 'swim' (1430).
13 and 14, the mobile terminal 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention estimates the current weather to be more suitable for performing the activities included in the current schedule, Of course, other places can be recommended.
15, when the schedule management screen 1500 is displayed, that is, when it is determined that there is a schedule management analysis request, the controller 180 sets the activity ': 1502), weather information related to the place related to the schedule, and the date when the schedule is set. That is, the control unit 180 compares the weather predicted at the place and time related to the schedule and the weather information optimum for the activity 1402 included in the set schedule on March 7, It is possible to determine whether or not the weather of the present day is suitable for performing the schedule. As a result of the determination, if it is not suitable, as shown in the second drawing of FIG. 15, a screen 1510 for receiving recommendation of information on another place related to the current schedule to the user may be displayed on the display unit 151 have.
In this state, if the user has selected to receive the recommendation of another place, the control unit 180 searches for places related to the activities included in the schedule, and selects a place included in the schedule It is possible to extract places where the weather is expected to be suitable for carrying out the activity. In other words, for example, when the controller 180 designates 'golf' in the schedule set on March 7 and 'Seoul' as a place to perform the 'golf' The user can search for golf courses in other places related to the activities included in the schedule, i.e., " golf ", for example, golf courses in other areas except for Seoul. And information on the searched golf courses can be output as recommendation information of the place.
Here, the controller 180 may select at least one of the recommended places based on various criteria. For example, as shown in the third drawing of FIG. 15, the control unit 180 may set the current position of the user or the home address of the predetermined user or the user's work address as the reference position, And a priority order determined based on the time required for the movement and the like, at least one of the searched places can be selected.
In this case, the priority may be determined not only by the distance from the reference position, the moving time, but also by the characteristics of the user such as the evaluation score of the user, the width of the place or the presence of the parking lot. In this case, different weights may be set according to the respective criteria, and the priority may be set based on the scores evaluated according to the respective criteria.
Meanwhile, the priority may be determined according to the user log information. For example, the control unit 180 may give a high priority to a place where the user has visited, or a ratio of a predetermined number of times or a visited date for a predetermined period is equal to or higher than a preset level Of course.
The location information 1532 retrieved according to this priority order can be displayed on at least a part of the display unit 151, as shown in the fourth drawing of Fig. In this case, when the user selects the specific place information 1534, the control unit 180 may display various information related to the selected place information. For example, the control unit 180 may display the location of the location selected by the user on the map image 1530, and may output the traffic information to the selected location.
In the above description, it is assumed that there is a preset schedule. However, the present invention may be applied to a schedule set by a smart link or the like. FIG. 16 illustrates an example in which, in the mobile terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention, a date in which a more suitable weather is expected is recommended for a schedule added by the smart link function. Here, the 'smart link' function refers to a function that allows the user to perform another function suitable for the selected message or text in relation to the selected message or text when the user selects a message or text. For this, the controller 180 may display a smart link menu screen including various related functions such as a schedule management function when the user selects a message or text, Or in conjunction with text.
Referring to FIG. 16, the first diagram of FIG. 16 shows an example in which a schedule is set through a smart link based on SMS message information sent and received by another user. 16, when the user selects a specific message 1600, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention determines the schedule of the smart link menu 1602 The location information and time information 1604 can be extracted from the selected message 1600 through the additional menu. The extracted information can be added as a new schedule according to the schedule management function of the smart link menu.
Meanwhile, when the new schedule is added, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may determine that the new schedule is added to the schedule management analysis event. In this case, the control unit 180 may obtain the forecasted weather information corresponding to the set date and time, and the place information included in the schedule, according to the newly added schedule. Based on the obtained predicted weather information, it is possible to judge whether or not the activities included in the schedule are appropriate.
For example, the control unit 180 may determine that, when the weather of the predetermined date is snowy or rainy, it is not suitable for activities other than indoor activities. In this case, as shown in the second diagram of FIG. 16, the control unit 180 may output a screen 1610 to the user to select whether to change the current schedule. In addition, based on the selection of the user on the selection screen 1610, it is possible to recommend another date, another schedule, another place or the like more suitable for the current schedule.
For example, when recommending another date, the control unit 180 may display the area 1622 corresponding to the recommendable date on the schedule management screen 1620 as shown in the third drawing of FIG. 16 .
16, if the currently recommended date 1622 is selected, the control unit 180 displays a screen 1630 for confirming the schedule change to the user on the display unit 151 . In this case, the user can check the changed schedule through the confirmation screen 1630. If the changed schedule is confirmed, the controller 180 can change the schedule added through the smart link menu 1602. [
If the schedule is changed as described above, the controller 180 may transmit information related to the changed schedule to the other party related to the schedule. Here, the 'schedule related party' may be the other party of the message in which schedule related information is extracted through the smart link function. In this case, the controller 180 may transmit information related to the changed schedule to the other party of the extracted message in the form of an SMS message or an MMS message, according to a user's selection. In addition, the controller 180 may output the notification information to the user based on a predetermined period or a remaining period up to the changed schedule.
In the above description, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention determines whether weather information of a place corresponding to the current location of the user (time when the weather information is requested) The emotional weather information is generated based on all the estimated weather information acquired based on the user schedule. However, according to the user's selection, only one of the weather information of the current weather information or the forecast weather information may be output Of course.
The present invention described above can be embodied as computer-readable codes on a medium on which a program is recorded. The computer readable medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer readable medium include a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state disk (SSD), a silicon disk drive (SDD), a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, , And may also be implemented in the form of a carrier wave (e.g., transmission over the Internet). Also, the computer may include a control unit 180 of the terminal. Accordingly, the above description should not be construed in a limiting sense in all respects and should be considered illustrative.
