1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a process in which a specific application is generally executed in a mobile device 100 and the executed application performs a specific operation.

Conventionally, the mobile device 100 operates in a manner in which a specific application is first executed by the mobile device 100 and the executed application performs a specific operation again. For example, among various applications of the mobile device 100, an application for listening to music is first executed, and when the executed music player application plays a specific song, the user can listen to the corresponding song.

However, when the mobile device 100 operates in this manner, two inputs may be required in order to play specific music on the mobile device 100. First, you run the music player, and second, you have to select a specific song.

A similar method can be used when making a phone call. The user first needs to run an application or program to make a call, and then can choose who to call. When such two inputs are finished, the mobile device 100 may perform a function desired by the user.

However, receiving these two inputs can be cumbersome for the user. In addition, what function the user needs may be predicted by analyzing the pattern in which the user used the mobile device 100 in the past.

Accordingly, in the present invention, it is possible to provide a shortcut that allows the user to perform a function recommended to the user at once by analyzing what pattern the user has used the mobile device 100 in in the past.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a method in which a user executes a specific application in the mobile device 100 in general, and the application executed by the user performs a specific operation again.

In step S210, the mobile device 100 may receive a selection for an application that the user wants to run. That is, the user may select an application to be executed, and the mobile device 100 may receive the selection information accordingly. More specifically, the user may select to run an application for playing music.

In step S220, the mobile device 100 may execute an application selected by the user. That is, the mobile device 100 may execute an application selected by the user and receive a selection from the user for a specific operation to be performed. More specifically, the user may input an input signal to the mobile device 100 to play a specific song.

The operation selected by the user in step S230 may be performed by the application. More specifically, the mobile device 100 may play a song selected by the user.

3 is a flowchart of a method in which an application to be performed by a user through a shortcut icon performs a specific operation to be performed by the user at once according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Unlike the embodiments described in FIGS. 1 to 2, the mobile device 100 may execute a specific operation desired by the user through a single input.

In step S310, the mobile device 100 may receive an input for a shortcut icon that the user wants to execute. When there is more than one shortcut icon, the user can select and execute a specific shortcut icon.

In step S320, the mobile device 100 may execute an application corresponding to a shortcut icon that the user wants to execute. If the shortcut icon selected by the user is to perform a function of playing a specific song, the mobile device 100 may execute an application for playing music.

In the application executed in step S330, an operation corresponding to a shortcut icon desired to be executed by the user may be performed. If the shortcut icon selected by the user is to perform a function of playing a specific song, the mobile device 100 may allow the music player to play the corresponding song.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of generating a shortcut icon for executing a specific operation by executing a specific application at a specific time according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In general, in order to make a call to a specific person, a function for making a phone call is executed, and a function of making a call by selecting a desired specific person from a call list can be performed. However, when executing the shortcut provided in the present invention, the function of calling a specific person can be performed immediately. As can be seen from the embodiment of the drawing, the mobile device 100 can perform the function of calling the wife by receiving a single input.

In addition, such a shortcut icon can be displayed only in a specific time period. If the frequency of phone calls to his wife is high during lunch time between 12:00 and 1 o'clock, it is immediately necessary to identify the user's behavior pattern and perform the function of calling the wife only between 12 and 1 o'clock. The go icon may be displayed on the screen of the mobile device 100.

5 is a flowchart of a method for displaying a shortcut icon for performing a recommended function by analyzing a user's usage pattern by the mobile device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In step S510, the mobile device 100 may analyze the user's usage pattern for the mobile device 100. More specifically, it is possible to analyze the history of the user using various programs provided by the mobile device 100 to perform a function in a certain time period. In addition, the history of the user using various programs provided by the mobile device 100 to perform a function in a certain place may be analyzed. In this way, a user's use pattern of the mobile device 100 may be analyzed in consideration of time and place.

In step S520, the mobile device 100 may determine a function to be recommended to the user based on the usage pattern analyzed in step S510. More specifically, the mobile device 100 may determine a function to be recommended to the user based on the frequency of which application or program the user executes and performs what function.

A function to be recommended to a user may be to allow a specific application or a specific program to perform a specific operation.

In step S530, the mobile device 100 may display a shortcut icon for performing the function determined in step S520 on the screen of the mobile device 100. The location of the shortcut icon may be determined based on the frequency used in the past.

6 shows a shortcut icon for performing a recommended function by analyzing a user's usage pattern by the mobile device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the transparency of the shortcut icon changes according to the passage of time. This is a flow chart of how to do or disappear.

Referring to FIG. 6, a method of displaying a shortcut icon of the mobile device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes steps processed in a time series as illustrated in FIG. 5. Accordingly, even if omitted below, the contents described above with respect to the display method of the mobile device 100 illustrated in FIG. 5 are also applied to the method of displaying a shortcut icon according to the present exemplary embodiment. 6 is compared with FIG. 5, since there is a difference in which step S640 and step S650 are added, the same content will be briefly described, and the difference will be mainly described.

In step S640, the mobile device 100 may change the transparency of the shortcut icon displayed in step S630 over time.

For example, when the shortcut icon displayed in step S630 is displayed for the first time, it may be displayed in a blurry form and then gradually become darker as time passes, and may change into a form that is further blurred as time passes. That is, a shortcut icon may be displayed in a form that is the darkest at a specific point in time and increases transparency around that time.

Alternatively, the shortcut icon displayed in step S630 is displayed darkly when initially displayed, but the transparency gradually increases with the passage of time, and may disappear after a predetermined time elapses.

That is, after the shortcut icon is displayed in step S630, the transparency of the shortcut icon may be changed in a predetermined manner according to the passage of time.

In step S650, the mobile device 100 may destroy the shortcut icon displayed in step S630. The mobile device 100 may display the shortcut icon and cause the shortcut icon to disappear after a predetermined time elapses.

Alternatively, the mobile device 100 may display a shortcut icon and cause the shortcut icon to disappear when the user leaves a specific place or enters a specific place.

Alternatively, the mobile device 100 may destroy the shortcut icon when the shortcut icon is displayed and the transparency of the shortcut icon increases at a certain rate, and then the transparency becomes 100% and becomes completely transparent.

7 is a flowchart of a method of collecting a user's usage history of the mobile device 100 for each time zone and location according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In operation S710, the mobile device 100 may collect details of the user's use of the mobile device 100. The user's use of the mobile device 100 may be information on an application and a program executed by the user using the mobile device 100 or a specific operation executed by the application and program executed by the user. Alternatively, the user's use of the mobile device 100 may be location information of the mobile device 100. Also, such usage history may be collected together with time information. That is, the location and time of executing each program, the location and time of executing a specific operation in each application may all be the user's usage history of the mobile device 100.

In operation S720, the mobile device 100 may analyze the collected details and check the number of times each function is used for each time period.

More specifically, the mobile device 100 may set a time zone in a predetermined unit and check the number of functions performed in a specific time zone to check the frequency of execution functions for each time zone.

In step S730, the mobile device 100 may analyze the collected details and check the number of times each function is used for each time period.

More specifically, the mobile device 100 may check the number of times of functions performed in a specific place by setting the range of the place in a predetermined range to check the frequency of execution functions for each place.

8 is a flowchart of a method of providing a shortcut icon to correspond to a current time and place according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In step S810, the mobile device 100 may determine a function to be recommended a function that has been used more than a predetermined number of times in a place corresponding to the current place in a time zone corresponding to the present time. That is, the mobile device 100 checks the current location and time of the mobile device 100 so that an application or an operation executed by an application or program that has been used more than a predetermined number of times in the current time zone and the current place can be immediately performed. A shortcut icon may be displayed on the screen of the mobile device 100. It is possible to increase user convenience by recommending a function having a high execution frequency at the current time and place so that the user can easily execute the function. In addition, the user's convenience can be increased by simultaneously playing a role of reminding the user to perform a corresponding function.

In addition, in step S810, the mobile device 100 may determine a recommended program to be recommended to a user and a recommended operation to be performed as a recommended program. The shortcut icon is for performing an operation performed by a specific program and a specific program together, and the mobile device 100 is a shortcut icon capable of performing the recommended program determined in step S810 and the recommended operation performed by the recommended program together. Can be created.

In step S820, the mobile device 100 may display a shortcut icon for performing the function determined in step S810 on the screen of the mobile device 100. The functions determined in step S810 may also be classified according to their importance. The importance may be evaluated differently according to the degree of the number of functions used in the place corresponding to the current place in the time zone corresponding to the present. In addition, the location at which the corresponding shortcut icon is displayed on the mobile device 100 may be different according to the determined importance of the corresponding shortcut icon. Alternatively, depending on the importance of the shortcut icon, the transparency displayed on the mobile device 100 may be different. Alternatively, depending on the importance of the corresponding shortcut icon, when the corresponding shortcut icon is displayed on the mobile device 100, the size of the corresponding shortcut icon may be different.

In step S830, the mobile device 100 may determine whether the determined recommended function is a function that has been used a certain number of times or more in a place corresponding to the current place in a time zone corresponding to the present time. That is, the mobile device 100 may determine whether the condition in which the shortcut icon is continuously displayed continues even after displaying the shortcut icon in step S820. For example, when a shortcut icon with a high frequency of use at a specific place and at a specific time is displayed on the screen of the mobile device 100, the shortcut icon disappears when the user leaves a specific place or after a specific time period has elapsed. You can do it. More specifically, the extinguishing process may be performed in step 840.

In step S840, when the mobile device 100 determines that the function is not used for a certain number of times or more as a result of the determination in step S830, the displayed shortcut icon may be destroyed. That is, if the user leaves a specific place or after a specific time period has elapsed, the shortcut icon disappears because the shortcut icon does not satisfy the criteria presented in step S810 anymore.

As illustrated in FIG. 8, a shortcut icon that provides a recommendation function to a user of the mobile device 100 may be provided in consideration of a current time and a current place. For example, if you frequently call your wife during lunchtime, you can provide a shortcut icon that allows you to call your wife right away during lunchtime. In addition, if the lunch break has elapsed, the shortcut icon for calling the wife can be destroyed. Alternatively, if the frequency of checking the schedule in the morning time is large, a shortcut icon for checking the schedule in the morning time may be provided. Or, if the frequency of turning off the Wi-Fi when entering the office and turning on the Wi-Fi after entering the house is high, a shortcut icon to turn on the Wi-Fi is displayed when entering the house with only the location information of the mobile device 100 regardless of time, when entering the company. May be provided with a shortcut icon to turn off Wi-Fi.

According to a function performed by each shortcut icon, if the time and place are not restricted, the shortcut icon may be set in advance so that it does not disappear after creation.
