Hereinafter, the main terms used in the present specification will be described.

"Background wallpaper" refers to an image screen displayed with the time when the cover of the terminal, such as a mobile phone is opened or turned off, may be referred to as an initial screen.

"Background display information" means a background screen to be displayed on the screen of the terminal for each time zone and weather. That is, it means a group of background screens to be displayed according to the change of time zone and weather, such as a background screen when it rains at 05 ~ 06 am, a background screen in a cloudy state.

"Time information" refers to information that the terminal receives from a satellite, a base station, a telecommunications server, or the like, and displays it on a screen, which is a reference for selecting a background screen for each time zone.

"Weather information" refers to information that the terminal receives as a satellite, a base station or a communication company server, etc., which is a reference for selecting a wallpaper for each weather.

"Location information" is information on the region where the terminal is currently located, and generally can be applied by replacing the location of the base station that tracks the current location of the terminal at any time, and a criterion for obtaining weather information of the region where the terminal is located. This is the information.

Referring to the method of designating a background screen according to the time information and weather information with reference to the accompanying drawings 2, the time information is uniformly divided at 0 o'clock every 2 hours (n = 12) and the weather information If we apply to the four types of sunny, cloudy, rain, and snow (m = 4), the total number of background display information is "12 x 4 = 48" according to "nxm = nm". Will be.

In this case, the time information code is 01 (0-2 o'clock), 02 (2-4 o'clock), 03 (4-6 o'clock), 04 (6-8 o'clock), 05 (8-10 o'clock), 06 (10 o'clock). 12 o'clock), 07 (12 ~ 14 o'clock), 08 (14 ~ 16 o'clock), 09 (16 ~ 18 o'clock), 10 (18 ~ 20 o'clock), 11 (20 ~ 22 o'clock), 12 (22 ~ 24) Two digits of the city, and two digits of weather information code such as 01 (sunny), 02 (cloudy), 03 (rain), and 04 (snow), the first two digits show time information, If the second two digits are assumed to be represented by a four-digit numeric code indicating weather information, the number of possible cases is 0101, 0102, 0103, 0104, 0201, ...., 0301, 0302, 0303, A total of 48 codes are formed such as 0304, 0401, 0402, ..., 1104, 1201, 1202, 1203, 1204. Therefore, in this case, the background image corresponding to the 48 codes may be produced and stored, and the image corresponding to the time information and the weather information may be read out and output. Referring to Figure 2, Figure 2a is a conventional wallpaper, Figure 2b is a time code '03 (4-6 o'clock) and the weather code '01 (sunny) 'is a combined weather between 04 and 06 o'clock This is the case where the background screen corresponding to the code '0301' is outputted. Similarly, FIG. 2C shows a background screen corresponding to the code '0302' which indicates when the weather is cloudy between 04 and 06 o'clock in which the time code '03 (4-6 hours) 'and the weather code '02 (cloudy)' are combined. 2d shows '0303' which means a case of raining between 04 o'clock and 06 o'clock when time code '03 (4 ~ 6 o'clock) 'and weather code '03 (rain)' are combined. This is the case where the wallpaper corresponding to the code is displayed.

This is simply an example to explain how the background changes according to time zone and weather changes.In practical use, 'n' is separated by an hour interval (n = 24), and 'm' is possible. It is considered that it is desirable to make the total background display information more than '24 x 8 = 192 'by dividing it into at least' m = 8 'or more.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The server is requested to provide a background image corresponding to the current time and weather again, and when the end command is received, the server automatically exits the automatic background change mode. On the other hand, the temporary storage unit 312 temporarily stores the current wallpaper to serve to build a "current wallpaper" temporary database.

The information receiving unit 313 and the operation control unit 316 further determine whether the background screen received from the server is different from the current background screen stored in the "current background screen" temporary database. You can do it.

Referring to FIG. 6A, an automatic wallpaper change server apparatus according to another embodiment includes a registration storage unit 401, a temporary storage unit 402, an information receiving unit 403, an operation control unit 405, and an information transmitting unit 404. It is configured to include.

The registration storage unit 401 may include 'n' time zone changes in which a day (1 day) from 0 hours to 24 hours is divided into uniform or non-uniform time intervals such as one or two time intervals. Background image display information database by registering "nxm = nm" time zone and weather background image display information to be displayed on the screen of a certain terminal in response to weather change divided into 'm' branches such as sunny, cloudy, snow, and rain The temporary storage unit 402 registers the current time information and weather information provided by the satellite or the Meteorological Agency by dividing the area by the jurisdiction unit of the base station or the administrative district unit, and receives "current weather information." It serves to build a temporary database, the information receiving unit 403 is requested to provide a background image corresponding to the current time and weather from the terminal, and to the base station or the switching center Detects the location information of the terminal from the terminal 203, and the operation controller 405 queries the "current weather information" temporary database to read the current weather information of the region where the terminal is located, and the background The screen display information database is inquired to read a background image corresponding to a current time and current weather information of a region where the terminal is located. Finally, the information transmitter 404 is the operation controller 405. Plays a role of transmitting the read out background image to the terminal.

In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the background screen display information is collectively registered and stored in the terminal 100, and then only a short signal is received from a service provider such as a carrier without burden on traffic such as weather information. Although there is an advantage in that it will be subject to restrictions such as continuous update or change of the background display information, in the case of another embodiment by receiving the wallpaper in real time from the server 200 can be updated at any time and various images Although there is an advantage in receiving the service, there may be a disadvantage in that the traffic burden is slightly increased and the service cost is high.

Therefore, in practical use, it is preferable to combine the above two methods and store the basic background display information in the terminal, and if necessary, it is desirable to be serviced by a complex method such as downloading only a new wallpaper according to the user's preference. I think.

So far, various embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail. The scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-exemplified embodiments, and if the technical spirit of the present invention is applied, all will be said to belong to the scope of the present invention.

The present invention is divided into n time zones by dividing the day (1 day) from zero (0) hour to 24 hours into uniform or non-uniform intervals, such as one or two time intervals, and clear, cloudy, snow, Like the rain, the weather change is divided into m types, and the background image display information database is constructed by registering "nxm = nm" time zones and weather background image display information to be displayed on the screen in response to the change in time and weather. The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for automatically changing a background screen of a terminal, such as a mobile phone or a PDA, which can automatically change a background screen corresponding to time information and weather information received in real time from a background screen display information database.

There is no background screen or only minimal information such as radio wave reception sensitivity and battery level and date and time. Or a few backgrounds are stored in the terminal, and the user can select and change the desired background among the stored backgrounds if necessary, or the user provides a background image of the terminal over the Internet. The conventional method of displaying a wallpaper, which is mainly used to change a wallpaper by downloading and accessing it, is to simply decorate the wallpaper so that the time of the image or the weather can be estimated through the image of the wallpaper. There was no way to know what was going on outside of There was no way to change the wallpaper automatically, so you would have to leave the same and repeatedly boring wallpaper, or you would have to spend a lot of time if you needed to change it manually. According to the present invention, which solves these conventional problems,

As the wallpaper is automatically changed according to a change of time interval or weather, etc., the user has to change the wallpaper manually.

It is possible to produce a background screen suitable for each user's personality, and also expect the effect of obtaining information that can easily know time information and weather information through the background image.
