FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a method for managing use of a smart device, a non-transitory system, and a computer readable recording medium.

The present invention relates to a method, system and non-transitory computer readable recording medium for managing use of a smart device.

A smart device such as a smartphone or tablet, which is an intelligent portable device capable of performing various functions such as web surfing, messenger, and game as well as basic functions such as phone call and text message transmission / reception, As a result, the convenience of the user is greatly increased. However, there are also problems caused by excessive use of the smart device. For example, if you are addicted to a game installed on a smart device, if you watch a certain animation excessively, or if you unconsciously use a smart device for no purpose. In recent years, The problem of overuse of smart devices is getting serious.

In particular, for users with limited self-control, such as young children, the problem of overuse of or overuse of certain applications installed on a smart device can become more serious, and thus, And to minimize the adverse effects that can be received from smart devices.

Conventionally, technologies have been introduced that simply restrict the viewing time of a TV, the use time of a computer, or block the execution of an application such as a game or a web browser. However, this conventional technology merely functions as a TV, a computer, It restricts the use of the device by the user only to perform a primary role and does not fundamentally mitigate or inhibit the user's desire for use or addiction.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve all the problems of the prior art described above.

According to the present invention, at least one of an application installed in a smart device and an application provided from an external server is set as a usable application according to setting information inputted from an administrator, And when the use management mode of the smart device is activated, the smart device is kept in a state in which the user can execute the available application set for the user for the available time set for the smart device, When the available application is used by the user with the management mode active, it is possible to use the available time for the available application on the screen of the smart device, Systems and non-temporal computer readable mediums for preventing a user, such as a child, from running harmful applications or being addicted to a smart device by causing the computer to display the graphical elements and storing information about usage history for the enabled applications It is another object to provide a recording medium.

In order to accomplish the above object, a representative structure of the present invention is as follows.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for managing use of a smart device, the method comprising the steps of: (a) receiving an application installed in a smart device, Setting at least one of the applications that can be used as a usable application and setting a usable time for the usable application; (b) when the use management mode of the smart device is activated, Keeping the user in a state in which the user can execute the available application set for the user only during the available time set for the user; and (c) when the use management mode of the smart device is activated, The user A graphical element linked with at least one of a usable time and an actual usable time for the usable application is displayed on the screen of the smart device when the application is used and information about usage history of the usable application is displayed The method comprising the steps of:

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system for managing use of a smart device, the system comprising: an application installed in a smart device and an application installed in an external server, A setting management unit configured to set at least one application of the application as a usable application and set usable time for the usable application; In a state in which the set usable application for the user is allowed to be executed only for the usable time set for the user, and when the usage management mode of the smart device is activated, A use state manager for displaying a graphical element linked with at least one of a usable time and an actual usable time for the usable application on the screen of the smart device, And a usage history management unit for storing information on usage history of the usable application when the usable application is used by the user in an activated state.

In addition, there is provided another method, system, and non-transitory computer readable recording medium for recording a computer program for carrying out the method for implementing the present invention.

According to the present invention, it is possible to limit the use time of the smart device by using a graphic element such as a character familiar to a child and allowing a child to access only the application suited to his or her level and advantageous, The effect of naturally relaxing or suppressing the desire to use the device is achieved.
