Automatic processing device and method of error occurrence of application {APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATICALLY HANDLING ERROR OF MOBILE APPLICATION AND METHOD THEREOF}

The present invention relates to an automatic processing apparatus for error occurrence conditions of an application and a method thereof, and more particularly, to an application in a mobile communication terminal, in particular, a middleware / platform such as a wireless Internet platform for interoperability (WIPI). If the application running in the) is unable to process any operation as it falls into an infinite loop or is insensitive, the error occurrence status of the application that automatically detects it and forcibly terminates the application and automatically switches to the idle screen. It relates to a processing apparatus and a method thereof.

As is well known, mobile communication technology has been remarkably developed in recent years, and the mobile phone user population is also rapidly increasing. In this situation, due to various needs of users, mobile communication terminals combined with mobile communication technology and wireless internet have emerged. This is due to the development of technologies such as WIPI and WIMAX. It became possible.

Therefore, the modern people can enjoy web surfing by accessing the wireless Internet through the mobile communication terminal, whereby the users of the mobile communication terminal can access the information of the website using the wireless internet anytime, anywhere without restriction of the place or time. I can get it. In addition, recently released mobile phones have been developed to allow users to use various contents such as cameras, MP3, and real-time video viewing as well as wireless calls.

In line with this, mobile communication terminals are also gradually becoming high-performance terminals. As a result, applications such as middleware-based WIPI platforms are often insensitive or stuck in an infinite loop while the terminal is being driven.

In this case, there was an inconvenience in that the user resets the power of the mobile phone again by detaching the battery one by one and then switches to the idle state.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, if the application in the mobile terminal falls into an infinite loop or insensitive, if no operation can be handled, automatically detects this and forced termination of the application and at the same time idle screen By automatically switching to, it prevents the operation of the terminal to prevent the event processing to be performed continuously, thereby maximizing convenience by preventing the user from performing unnecessary operations such as battery detachment when the terminal is inactive. In addition, a mobile communication terminal provider's object is to provide an automatic processing device and method of error occurrence situation of the application to improve the quality of the service accordingly to enhance the competitiveness with other companies.

An apparatus for automatically processing an error occurrence situation of an application of the present invention to solve the above object includes: an application downloaded through a wireless Internet and executed on a platform; And

And periodically checking the error occurrence state of the application when the application is started, and forcibly terminating it if it is determined that the application is insensitive or infinite loop.

On the other hand, the error occurrence situation automatic processing method of the application of the present invention to solve the above object, step 101, the polling agent is executed at the same time the application is started;

Step 102, the polling agent periodically checking the error occurrence state of the application to determine whether the corresponding application is insensitive or infinite loop; And

In step 102, if the corresponding application does not fall into the insensitive or infinite loop, the process proceeds to step 102, and if the inactive or the infinite loop falls into step 103, the application is forcibly terminated.

According to the present invention, when an application in the mobile communication terminal falls into an infinite loop or is insensitive, if any operation cannot be processed, the mobile terminal automatically detects this and automatically terminates the corresponding application and automatically switches to an idle screen, thereby preventing the terminal from being used. It prevents the operation situation and allows event processing to be performed continuously, thereby maximizing convenience by not allowing the user to perform unnecessary operations such as battery detachment when the terminal is not operated.

From the perspective of the mobile terminal provider, there is an excellent effect of improving the quality of service accordingly and enhancing competitiveness with other companies.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the configuration of the automatic error processing situation processing apparatus of the application according to the present invention. 1 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of an error occurrence situation automatic processing apparatus of an application according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, an automatic error occurrence processing apparatus for an application includes an application 100 and a polling agent 210 mounted on the WIPI platform 200.

In this case, the application 100 is a WIPI application downloaded through the wireless Internet and executed in the WIPI platform 200.

In addition, the WIPI platform 200 is a platform that provides an environment for mounting and executing the application program downloaded via the wireless Internet to the mobile communication terminal.

Meanwhile, the polling agent 210 is mounted on the WIPI platform 200 and executed in the background, and periodically checks an error occurrence state of the application 100 when the application 100 starts, and corresponding application. If it is determined that the 100 falls into an insensitive or infinite loop, it is forcibly terminated and then requests the operating system 300 to return the state of the terminal to the idle screen.

In this case, the operating system 300 refers to an operating system of a mobile communication terminal, which is a lower layer of the WIPI platform 200 including a handset abstraction layer (HAL) and a basic API according to the WIPI standard. An example is a Real Time Operating System (RTOS) such as Qualcomm's REX.

On the other hand, an error condition checked by the polling agent 210 means a state in which an abnormal syntax occurs or an exception (Exception) processing is insufficient, which means that there is no response for a predetermined time after sending a polling signal to the application 100. It is judged to be in an insensitive or infinite loop only.

Next, a method of automatically processing an error occurrence situation of an application according to an embodiment of the present invention using the apparatus having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

First, the polling agent 210 is executed at the same time as the application 100 is activated (S101). This means that the WIPI platform 200 automatically runs the polling agent 210 together when the application 100 starts up.

Then, the polling agent 210 periodically checks the error occurrence situation of the application 100, and determines whether the corresponding application 100 is insensitive or infinite loop (S102). In this case, in step 102, the polling agent 210 sends a polling signal to the corresponding application 100 in order to check whether the polling agent 210 falls into the blind or infinite loop of the application 100. The method may further include checking whether the response is present.

On the other hand, if the corresponding application 100 does not fall into an insensitive or infinite loop (NO) in the 102 step (S102), the polling agent 210 proceeds to the 102 step (S102), while in the unsensitive or infinite loop If left out (YES) and forcibly terminates the application (S103).

Then, the polling agent 210 automatically returns the state of the terminal to the idle screen (S104).

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to a number of embodiments, the scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments and should not be interpreted, and the present invention may be modified in various ways without departing from the technical spirit described in the claims. Can be implemented.
