Description

[0001] MOBILE TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME [0002]

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal and a control method thereof, in which usage of a terminal can be realized by further considering convenience of a user.

A terminal can be divided into a mobile terminal (mobile / portable terminal) and a stationary terminal according to whether the terminal can be moved. The mobile terminal can be divided into a handheld terminal and a vehicle mounted terminal according to whether the user can directly carry the mobile terminal.

The functions of mobile terminals are diversified. For example, there are data and voice communication, photographing and video shooting through a camera, voice recording, music file playback through a speaker system, and outputting an image or video on a display unit. Some terminals are equipped with an electronic game play function or a multimedia player function. In particular, modern mobile terminals can receive multicast signals that provide visual content such as broadcast and video or television programs.

Such a terminal has various functions, for example, in the form of a multimedia device having multiple functions such as photographing and photographing of a moving picture, reproduction of a music or video file, reception of a game and broadcasting, etc. .

In order to support and enhance the functionality of such terminals, it may be considered to improve the structural and / or software parts of the terminal.

In recent years, mobile terminals supporting Near Field Communication (NFC) card emulation are becoming popular. An NFC is a communication technology that exchanges wireless data between devices within a short distance of about 10 seconds. The user of the mobile terminal supporting the NFC card emulation stores the credit information related to the credit card or the transportation card in the mobile terminal without having to carry the credit card or the transportation card separately and then simply tabs the mobile terminal to the NFC reader ).

1 is a block diagram illustrating some components of a conventional mobile terminal supporting NFC card emulation. 1 (a) is a mobile terminal 10a on which an OS of a version prior to Android 4.4 is installed, and FIG. 1 (b) is a mobile terminal 10b on which an Android 4.4 version OS is installed.

The control unit 180 may control the driving or operation of the mobile terminal 100 or may perform data processing, function or operation related to the application program installed in the mobile terminal 100 based on the sensing signal. 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 uses 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, Detection.

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.

On the other hand, the touch sensors and the proximity sensors discussed above can be used independently or in combination to provide a short touch (touch), a long touch, a multi touch, a drag touch ), Flick touch, pinch-in touch, pinch-out touch, swipe touch, hovering touch, and the like. 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.

3 is a conceptual diagram for explaining another example of the mobile terminal 200 according to the present invention.

As shown, the display unit 251 may be configured to be deformable by an external force. The deformation may be at least one of warping, bending, folding, twisting, and curling of the display portion 251. The deformable display portion 251 may be referred to as a " flexible display portion ". Here, the flexible display unit 251 may include both a general flexible display, e-paper, and combinations thereof. In general, mobile terminal 200 may include features of mobile terminal 100 of Figures 1A-1C or similar features.

A typical flexible display refers to a sturdy display that is lightweight and does not break easily, such as paper, formed on a thin, flexible substrate that can flex, bend, fold, twist, or curl like a conventional flat panel display.

In addition, the electronic paper is a display technology to which general ink characteristics are applied, and the point that the reflected light is used is different from the conventional flat panel display. The electronic paper can be changed by using a twist ball or electrophoresis (electrophoresis) using a capsule.

In a state in which the flexible display portion 251 is not deformed (for example, a state having an infinite radius of curvature, hereinafter referred to as a first state), the display area of the flexible display portion 251 is flat. In the first state, the display area may be a curved surface in a state deformed by an external force (for example, a state having a finite radius of curvature, hereinafter referred to as a second state). As shown in the figure, the information displayed in the second state may be time information output on the curved surface. Such visual information is realized by independently controlling the emission of a sub-pixel arranged in a matrix form. The unit pixel means a minimum unit for implementing one color.

The flexible display unit 251 may be placed in a bent state (for example, a vertical state or a left-to-right bent state) instead of a flat state in the first state. In this case, if an external force is applied to the flexible display portion 251, the flexible display portion 251 may be deformed into a flat state (or a less bent state) or a more bent state.

Meanwhile, the flexible display unit 251 may be combined with a touch sensor to implement a flexible touch screen. When a touch is made to the flexible touch screen, the control unit 180 (see FIG. 2A) can perform control corresponding to the touch input. The flexible touch screen may be configured to sense the touch input in the first state as well as the second state.

The deformation detecting unit may be provided in the flexible display unit 251 or the case 201 to sense information related to the deformation of the flexible display unit 251. Here, the information related to the deformation may be the direction in which the flexible display unit 251 is deformed, the degree of deformation, the deformed position, the deformation time, and the acceleration at which the deformed flexible display unit 251 is restored, In addition, the flexible display unit 251 may be various information that can be detected due to the bending of the flexible display unit 251.

The control unit 180 may change the information displayed on the flexible display unit 251 or change the information displayed on the flexible display unit 251 based on the information related to the deformation of the flexible display unit 251, It is possible to generate a control signal for controlling the function of the controller.

Meanwhile, the mobile terminal 200 according to the present modification may include a case 201 that accommodates the flexible display unit 251. The case 201 may be configured to be deformable together with the flexible display unit 251 by an external force in consideration of the characteristics of the flexible display unit 251.

In addition, a battery (not shown) included in the mobile terminal 200 may be configured to be deformable together with the flexible display unit 251 due to an external force, taking into account the characteristics of the flexible display unit 251. In order to implement the battery, a stack and folding method in which battery cells are stacked on top of one another may be applied.

The state change of the flexible display unit 251 is not limited to an external force. For example, when the flexible display unit 251 has the first state, it may be transformed to the second state by a command of the user or the application.

Meanwhile, the mobile terminal can be extended to a wearable device that can be worn on the body beyond the dimension that the user mainly grasps and uses. These wearable devices include smart watch, smart glass, and head mounted display (HMD). Hereinafter, examples of a mobile terminal extended to a wearable device will be described.

The wearable device can be made to be able to exchange (or interlock) data with another mobile terminal 100. The short range communication module 114 can detect (or recognize) a wearable device capable of communicating with the mobile terminal 100. If the detected wearable device is a device authenticated to communicate with the mobile terminal 100, the control unit 180 may transmit at least a part of the data processed by the mobile terminal 100 to the wearable device 100 via the short- Lt; / RTI > Accordingly, the user can use the data processed by the mobile terminal 100 through the wearable device. For example, when a telephone is received in the mobile terminal 100, it is possible to perform a telephone conversation via the wearable device or to confirm the received message via the wearable device when a message is received in the mobile terminal 100 .

The frame portion is supported on the head portion, and a space for mounting various components is provided. As shown in the figure, electronic parts such as the control module 480, the sound output module 452, and the like may be mounted on the frame part. Further, a lens 403 covering at least one of the left eye and the right eye may be detachably mounted on the frame portion.

The control module 480 controls various electronic components included in the mobile terminal 400. The control module 480 can be understood as a configuration corresponding to the control unit 180 described above. This figure illustrates that the control module 480 is provided in the frame portion on one side of the head. However, the position of the control module 480 is not limited thereto.

The display unit 451 may be implemented as a head mounted display (HMD). The HMD type refers to a display method that is mounted on a head and displays an image directly in front of the user's eyes. When the user wears the glass-type mobile terminal 400, the display unit 451 may be arranged to correspond to at least one of the left and right eyes so that the user can directly provide an image in front of the user's eyes. In this figure, the display unit 451 is located at a portion corresponding to the right eye so that an image can be output toward the user's right eye.

The display unit 451 can project an image to the user's eyes using a prism. Further, the prism may be formed to be transmissive so that the user can view the projected image and the general view of the front (the range that the user views through the eyes) together.

As described above, the image output through the display unit 451 may be overlapped with the general view. The mobile terminal 400 can provide an Augmented Reality (AR) in which a virtual image is superimposed on a real image or a background and displayed as a single image using the characteristics of the display.

The camera 421 is disposed adjacent to at least one of the left eye and the right eye, and is configured to photograph a forward image. Since the camera 421 is positioned adjacent to the eyes, the camera 421 can acquire a scene viewed by the user as an image.

Although the camera 421 is provided in the control module 480 in this figure, it is not limited thereto. The camera 421 may be installed in the frame portion, or may be provided in a plurality of ways to obtain a stereoscopic image.

The glass-type mobile terminal 400 may include user input units 423a and 423b operated to receive control commands. The user input units 423a and 423b can be employed in any manner as long as the user operates in a tactile manner such as a touch or a push. This figure illustrates that the frame unit and the control module 480 are provided with user input units 423a and 423b of a push and touch input method, respectively.

In addition, the glass-type mobile terminal 400 may be provided with a microphone (not shown) for receiving sound and processing it as electrical voice data and an acoustic output module 452 for outputting sound. The sound output module 452 may be configured to transmit sound in a general sound output mode or a bone conduction mode. When the sound output module 452 is implemented in a bone conduction manner, when the user wears the mobile terminal 400, the sound output module 452 is brought into close contact with the head and vibrates the skull to transmit sound.

Next, a communication system that can be implemented through the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention will be described.

First, the communication system may use different wireless interfaces and / or physical layers. For example, wireless interfaces that can be used by a communication system include Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) ), Universal mobile telecommunication systems (UMTS) (in particular Long Term Evolution (LTE), Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A)), Global System for Mobile Communications May be included.

Hereinafter, for the sake of convenience of description, the description will be limited to CDMA. However, it is apparent that the present invention can be applied to all communication systems including an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) wireless communication system as well as a CDMA wireless communication system.

A CDMA wireless communication system includes at least one terminal 100, at least one base station (BS) (also referred to as a Node B or Evolved Node B), at least one Base Station Controllers (BSCs) , And a Mobile Switching Center (MSC). The MSC is configured to be coupled to a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and BSCs. The BSCs may be paired with the BS via a backhaul line. The backhaul line may be provided according to at least one of E1 / T1, ATM, IP, PPP, Frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL or xDSL. Thus, a plurality of BSCs may be included in a CDMA wireless communication system.

Each of the plurality of BSs may comprise at least one sector, and each sector may comprise an omnidirectional antenna or an antenna pointing to a particular direction of radial emission from the BS. In addition, each sector may include two or more antennas of various types. Each BS may be configured to support a plurality of frequency assignments, and a plurality of frequency assignments may each have a specific spectrum (e.g., 1.25 MHz, 5 MHz, etc.).

The intersection of sector and frequency assignment may be referred to as a CDMA channel. The BS may be referred to as a base station transceiver subsystem (BTSs). In this case, one BSC and at least one BS can be summed together. The base station may also indicate a "cell site ". Alternatively, each of the plurality of sectors for a particular BS may be referred to as a plurality of cell sites.

A broadcast transmission unit (BT) transmits a broadcast signal to terminals 100 operating in the system. The broadcast receiving module 111 shown in FIG. 1A is provided in the terminal 100 to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by the BT.

In addition, a Global Positioning System (GPS) may be associated with the CDMA wireless communication system to identify the location of the mobile terminal 100. The satellite 300 aids in locating the mobile terminal 100. Useful location information may be obtained by two or more satellites. Here, the position of the mobile terminal 100 can be tracked using all the techniques capable of tracking the location as well as the GPS tracking technology. Also, at least one of the GPS satellites may optionally or additionally be responsible for satellite DMB transmission.

The location information module 115 included in the mobile terminal is for detecting, computing, or identifying the location of the mobile terminal, and may include a Global Position System (GPS) module and a WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) module. Optionally, the location information module 115 may perform any of the other functions of the wireless communication unit 110 to obtain data relating to the location of the mobile terminal, in addition or alternatively.

The GPS module 115 calculates distance information and accurate time information from three or more satellites and then applies trigonometry to the calculated information to accurately calculate three-dimensional current location information according to latitude, longitude, and altitude can do. At present, a method of calculating position and time information using three satellites and correcting an error of the calculated position and time information using another satellite is widely used. In addition, the GPS module 115 can calculate speed information by continuously calculating the current position in real time. However, it is difficult to accurately measure the position of the mobile terminal by using the GPS module in the shadow area of the satellite signal as in the room. Accordingly, a WPS (WiFi Positioning System) can be utilized to compensate the positioning of the GPS system.

The WiFi Positioning System (WPS) is a system in which a mobile terminal 100 uses a WiFi module included in the mobile terminal 100 and a wireless AP (wireless access point) transmitting or receiving a wireless signal with the WiFi module, Is a technology for tracking a location of a wireless local area network (WLAN) using WiFi.

The WiFi location tracking system may include a Wi-Fi location server, a mobile terminal 100, a wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100, and a database in which certain wireless AP information is stored.

The mobile terminal 100 connected to the wireless AP can transmit a location information request message to the Wi-Fi location server.

The Wi-Fi position location server extracts information of the wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100 based on the location information request message (or signal) of the mobile terminal 100. The information of the wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100 may be transmitted to the Wi-Fi location server through the mobile terminal 100 or may be transmitted from the wireless AP to the Wi-Fi location server.

The information of the wireless AP to be extracted based on the location information request message of the mobile terminal 100 includes a MAC address, an SSID (Service Set IDentification), a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) Reference Signal Received Quality), channel information, Privacy, Network Type, Signal Strength, and Noise Strength.

As described above, the Wi-Fi position location server can receive the information of the wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100 and extract the wireless AP information corresponding to the wireless AP to which the mobile terminal is connected from the pre-established database. In this case, the information of any wireless APs stored in the database includes at least one of MAC address, SSID, channel information, privacy, network type, radius coordinates of the wireless AP, building name, Available), the address of the AP owner, telephone number, and the like. At this time, in order to remove the wireless AP provided using the mobile AP or the illegal MAC address in the positioning process, the Wi-Fi location server may extract only a predetermined number of wireless AP information in order of RSSI.

Then, the Wi-Fi location server can extract (or analyze) the location information of the mobile terminal 100 using at least one wireless AP information extracted from the database. And compares the received information with the received wireless AP information to extract (or analyze) the location information of the mobile terminal 100.

As a method for extracting (or analyzing) the position information of the mobile terminal 100, a Cell-ID method, a fingerprint method, a triangulation method, and a landmark method can be utilized.

The Cell-ID method is a method of determining the position of the mobile station with the strongest signal strength among neighboring wireless AP information collected by the mobile terminal. Although the implementation is simple, it does not cost extra and it can acquire location information quickly, but there is a disadvantage that positioning accuracy is lowered when the installation density of the wireless AP is low.

The fingerprint method collects signal strength information by selecting a reference position in a service area, and estimates the position based on the signal strength information transmitted from the mobile terminal based on the collected information. In order to use the fingerprint method, it is necessary to previously convert the propagation characteristics into a database.

The triangulation method is a method of calculating the position of the mobile terminal based on the coordinates of at least three wireless APs and the distance between the mobile terminals. (Time of Arrival, ToA), Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) in which a signal is transmitted, and the time difference between the wireless AP and the wireless AP, in order to measure the distance between the mobile terminal and the wireless AP. , An angle at which a signal is transmitted (Angle of Arrival, AoA), or the like.

The landmark method is a method of measuring the position of a mobile terminal using a landmark transmitter that knows the location.

Various algorithms can be utilized as a method for extracting (or analyzing) the location information of the mobile terminal.

The extracted location information of the mobile terminal 100 is transmitted to the mobile terminal 100 through the Wi-Fi location server, so that the mobile terminal 100 can acquire the location information.

The mobile terminal 100 may be connected to at least one wireless AP to obtain location information. At this time, the number of wireless APs required to acquire the location information of the mobile terminal 100 may be variously changed according to the wireless communication environment in which the mobile terminal 100 is located.

2A, the mobile terminal according to the present invention may include a Bluetooth (registered ^trademark ), an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), an Infrared Data Association (IrDA), a UWB (Ultra Wideband), a ZigBee, Field Communication), and Wireless USB (Wireless Universal Serial Bus).

Among them, the NFC module provided in the mobile terminal supports the non-contact type short-range wireless communication between the terminals at a distance of about 10 cm. The NFC module may operate in either a card mode, a reader mode, or a P2P mode. In order for the NFC module to operate in the card mode, the mobile terminal 100 may further include a security module for storing card information. Here, the security module may be a physical medium such as a UICC (e.g., a SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) or a USIM (Universal SIM)), a Secure micro SD and a sticker, or a logical medium For example, embeded SE (Secure Element)). Data exchange based on SWP (Single Wire Protocol) can be made between NFC module and security module.

When the NFC module is operated in the card mode, the mobile terminal can transmit the stored card information to the outside such as a conventional IC card. Specifically, if the mobile terminal storing the card information of the payment card such as a credit card or a bus card is brought close to the fare payment machine, the mobile local payment can be processed, and the mobile terminal storing the card information of the access card can be accessed If you are close to the time, the approval process for access may begin. Cards such as credit cards, transportation cards, and access cards are mounted on the security module in the form of an applet, and the security module can store card information on the mounted card. Here, the card information of the payment card may be at least one of a card number, balance, and usage details, and the card information of the access card may include at least one of a name, a number (e.g., It can be one.

When the NFC module is operated in the reader mode, the mobile terminal can read data from an external tag. At this time, the data received from the mobile terminal by the tag may be coded into a data exchange format (NFC Data Exchange Format) defined by the NFC Forum. In addition, the NFC Forum defines four record types. Specifically, the NFC forum defines four RTDs (Record Type Definitions) such as Smart Poster, Text, Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), and General Control. If the data received from the tag is a smart poster type, the control unit executes a browser (e.g., an Internet browser), and if the data received from the tag is a text type, the control unit can execute the text viewer. When the data received from the tag is a URI type, the control unit executes the browser or makes a telephone call, and if the data received from the tag is a general control type, it can execute appropriate operations according to the control contents.

When the NFC module is operated in a peer-to-peer (P2P) mode, the mobile terminal can perform P2P communication with another mobile terminal. At this time, LLCP (Logical Link Control Protocol) may be applied to P2P communication. For P2P communication, a connection can be created between the mobile terminal and another mobile terminal. At this time, the generated connection can be divided into a connectionless mode in which one packet is exchanged and terminated, and a connection-oriented mode in which packets are exchanged consecutively. Through P2P communications, data such as business cards, contact information, digital photos, URLs in electronic form, and setup parameters for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity can be exchanged. However, since the usable distance of NFC communication is short, the P2P mode can be effectively used to exchange small-sized data.

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.

In addition, although the embodiments of the present invention will be described by taking the case where the mobile terminal is the mobile terminal 100 of FIGS. 2A to 2C as an example, the mobile terminal 200 of FIG. 3, 300 and the mobile terminal 400 of FIG.

Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating some of the components of the mobile terminal of Figure 2a to illustrate one embodiment of the present invention.

The mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a host CPU 185, an NFC controller 114a, and an SE 195. At least a part of the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 and the memory 170 described above with reference to FIG. 2A will be collectively referred to as a host CPU 185. FIG. That is, the host CPU 185 controls the overall operation of the mobile terminal 100 and may include a memory. The NFC controller 114a may belong to the local area communication module 114 of the mobile terminal 100 described above with reference to FIG. 2A. The NFC controller 114a is implemented in a chip form and may have a storage space therein. According to the embodiment, the operation of the host CPU 185 related to the NFC card described later may be performed by a host framework controlled by the host CPU 185. [

The host CPU 185 stores applications related to the NFC card. The applications may be a native application installed before shipment of the mobile terminal 100, or an application downloaded by a user from an external server. Here, the NFC card may be a virtual card implemented to enable a card emulated by the mobile terminal 100 to be charged or accumulated by tagging the NFC reader 500 through an NFC function.

The mobile terminal 100 supports HCE (Host-based Card Emulation). The conventional mobile terminal can communicate with the external NFC reader 500 only through the SE 195. The HCE allows the SE 195 to implement the function of the SE 195 through the cloud server instead of the mobile terminal 100. The HCE can be used to communicate with the NFC reader 500 without the SE 195 to provide. An application can emulate an NFC card through the HCE without going through SE (195).

The mobile terminal 100 may be set to the first mode or the second mode as the NFC processing mode. The NFC processing mode is a mode in which the NFC controller 114a routes data received from the NFC reader 500 to either the host CPU 185 or the SE 195 when the mobile terminal 100 approaches the NFC reader 500 Whether to do it or not. For example, the first mode is an off-host mode in which a route for routing data received from the NFC reader 500 to the SE 195 is default, And an on-host mode based on a route for routing the data received from the NFC reader 500 to the host CPU 185. Here, the meaning of the route based on the routing of the data received from the NFC reader 500 to the SE 195 is that the data received from the NFC reader 500 is matched with the data in the routing table stored in the NFC controller 114a It means that the data is routed to the host CPU 185 and, when the data does not match the data in the routing table stored in the NFC controller 114a, the data is routed to the SE 195 as the basic route . Likewise, the fact that data based on the route for routing the data received from the NFC reader 500 to the host CPU 185 is based on data in the routing table stored in the NFC controller 114a and data received from the NFC reader 500 If the data is matched, it means that the data is routed to the SE 195 and, if the data does not match the data in the routing table stored in the NFC controller 114a, the data is routed to the host CPU 195 as the basic route do.

The off-host mode will be described later in more detail with reference to FIG. 7, and the on-host mode will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

The NFC controller 114a stores the routing table in an internal storage space. The routing table stores an application ID (AID) for identifying an application. When the user intends to make a settlement using an NFC card associated with an application installed in the mobile terminal 100, the mobile terminal 100 may allow the NFC reader 500 to transmit the HCE service to the mobile terminal 100 The ISE / IEC 7816-4 standard defines AID to select the application to be used for settlement.

According to an embodiment, when there are a plurality of NFC cards associated with one application, a plurality of AIDs may exist for one application, and the AID may be information for identifying each NFC card. Hereinafter, it is assumed that AID is information for identifying an NFC card, taking into consideration the case where there are a plurality of NFC cards associated with one application. Of course, if an application is associated with one NFC card, the AID may be for identifying the application.

The host CPU 185 controls the NFC controller 114a to store in the routing table at least a part of the ADIs for identifying the NFC card among the application-related information for each of the applications related to the NFC card stored in the memory 170 . The AID stored in the routing table may vary depending on whether the NFC processing mode is an off-host mode or an on-host mode. This will be described later in more detail with reference to FIG. 9 to FIG.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a routing route of data received from an NFC reader when the mobile terminal is set to the off-host mode according to an embodiment of the present invention. The off-host mode will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG.

When the user approves the mobile terminal 100 to the external NFC reader 500, the NFC controller 114a reads the application (the specific NFC card according to the embodiment) supported by the NFC reader 500 from the NFC reader 500 (Step S601).

If there is an AID matching the received AID among the AIDs stored in the routing table in the NFC controller 114a (S602, YES), the NFC controller 114a routes the received AID to the host CPU 185 S603). The application corresponding to the AID in the routing table matched with the received AID can emulate the NFC card through the host CPU 185 and communicate directly with the NFC reader 500 through the emulated NFC card to perform the payment .

On the other hand, if there is no AID matching the received AID among the AIDs stored in the routing table in the NFC controller 114a (S602, No), the NFC controller 114a routes the received AID to the SE 195 (S604). The NFC card of the application corresponding to the AID in the routing table matched with the received AID may be emulated through the SE 195 and the SE 195 may communicate with the NFC reader 500 to perform settlement.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a routing route of data received from an NFC reader when the mobile terminal is set to the on-host mode according to an embodiment of the present invention. The on-host mode will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 8. FIG.

When the user approves the mobile terminal 100 to the external NFC reader 500, the NFC controller 114a reads the application (the specific NFC card according to the embodiment) supported by the NFC reader 500 from the NFC reader 500 (Step S611).

The NFC controller 114a routes the received AID to the SE 195 when there is an AID matching the received AID among the AIDs stored in the routing table in the NFC controller 114a (S612, YES) ). The NFC card of the application corresponding to the AID in the routing table matched with the received AID may be emulated through the SE 195 and the SE 195 may communicate with the NFC reader 500 to perform settlement.

On the other hand, when there is no AID matching the received AID among the AIDs stored in the routing table in the NFC controller 114a (S612, No), the NFC controller 114a routes the received AID to the host CPU 185 (S604). The application corresponding to the AID in the routing table matched with the received AID can emulate the NFC card through the host CPU 185 and communicate directly with the NFC reader 500 through the emulated NFC card to perform the payment .

The NFC processing mode may be set to either the off-host mode or the on-host mode when the NFC function is activated in the mobile terminal 100, and may be set in an off-host mode to an on- Host mode to an off-host mode.

9 is a diagram showing an example of application-related information of applications related to an NFC card in an embodiment of the present invention.

When a user downloads an application related to the NFC card, application and application-related information can be downloaded together. The application-related information may include first information for identifying an application and second information indicating an emulation location of an NFC card associated with the application. For example, the first information may be the AID described above, and when there are a plurality of NFC cards associated with one application, the AID may be information for identifying each NFC card. In one example, the second information may include routing route information indicating whether the AID and the corresponding NFC card will be emulated via the host CPU 185 using the HCE or via the SE 195 Lt; / RTI > The application-related information may further include application name information, category information, and the like in addition to the AID and the routing route information.

Referring to FIG. 9, three applications and corresponding application-related information are shown. In one example, the application-related information for the first application includes "PPSE & Mastercard" as the first information (AID) and "Host" as the second information (routing route information). Means that the NFC card associated with the first application can be emulated via the host CPU 185. The " Host " In another example, the application-related information for the second application includes "PPSE & Visa" as the first information (AID) and "Off Host" as the second information (routing route information). The fact that the routing route information is "Off Host" indicates that the NFC card associated with the second application can be emulated via the SE 195, rather than the host CPU 185. In another example, the application-related information for the third application includes "T-money" as the first information (AID) and "Host" as the second information (routing route information). The fact that the routing route information is "Host" indicates that the NFC card associated with the third application can be emulated through the host CPU 185.

Hereinafter, although not specifically described, if the routing route information is "Host ", it indicates that the NFC card of the application can be emulated through the host CPU 185. If the routing route information is" Off Host " It is assumed that the NFC card can be emulated via the SE 195. Of course, the expression of the "Host" or "Off Host" itself may vary depending on the implementation method of the application, but in this specification it is assumed that the routing route information is expressed as "Host" or "Off Host ".

10 is a diagram showing another example of application-related information of applications related to an NFC card in an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 10 illustrates a case where there are a plurality of NFC cards associated with one application, unlike FIG.

When a user downloads an application related to the NFC card, application and application-related information can be downloaded together. The application-related information may include first information for identifying an NFC card and second information for indicating an emulation location of an NFC card associated with the application. In one example, the first information may be an AID, and the second information may indicate whether the NFC card corresponding to the AID will be emulated through the host CPU 185 using the HCE, or via the SE 195 Or routing route information indicating whether or not the routing information is available. The application-related information may further include application name information, category information, and the like in addition to the AID and the routing route information.

Referring to FIG. 10, there are two MasterCard and Visacard NFC cards associated with the first application, so that AID may exist separately for each NFC card. According to an embodiment, the routing route information may be the same for all NFC cards associated with the first application, and the routing route information may be different for at least two of the NFC cards as in FIG.

11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a method of storing an AID in a routing table in an NFC controller in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. 11 illustrates the case where the NFC processing mode is an off-host mode.

The host CPU 185 controls the mobile communication module 112 or the wireless Internet module 113 to download the application related to the NFC card and the application related information (S701). As described above, the application-related information includes an AID for identifying an NFC card associated with the application, and routing route information indicating whether the NFC card is emulated through the SE 195 or the host CPU 185 .

The host CPU 185 installs the downloaded application (S702). Then, the host CPU 185 confirms the routing route information in the application-related information (S703).

If the routing route information corresponds to "Host" (S704, YES), the host CPU 185 determines whether or not the ATI in the application related information is stored in the routing table based on the NFC process mode and the routing route information. And controls the control unit 114a (S705).

According to an embodiment, when there are a plurality of NFC cards associated with the application, the application-related information may include AID and routing route information for each NFC card. In step S704 and step S705, the host CPU 185 stores the AID of each of the NFC cards corresponding to the routing route information corresponding to "Host " in the routing route information for each of the plurality of NFC cards, And may control the NFC controller 114a to store it in the routing table.

12 is a flowchart illustrating a method of storing an AID in a routing table in an NFC controller in a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. 12 illustrates the case where the NFC processing mode is an on-host mode.

The host CPU 185 controls the mobile communication module 112 or the wireless Internet module 113 to download the application related to the NFC card and the application related information (S711). As described above, the application-related information includes an AID for identifying an NFC card associated with the application, and routing route information indicating whether the NFC card is emulated through the SE 195 or the host CPU 185 .

The host CPU 185 installs the downloaded application (S712). Then, the host CPU 185 confirms the routing route information in the application-related information (S713).

If the routing route information corresponds to "Off Host" (S714, YES), the host CPU 185 stores the AID in the application related information in the routing table based on the NFC processing mode and the routing route information And controls the NFC controller 114a (S715).

According to an embodiment, when there are a plurality of NFC cards associated with the application, the application-related information may include AID and routing route information for each NFC card. In step S714 and step S715, the host CPU 185 determines the AID of each of the NFC cards corresponding to the routing route information corresponding to "Off Host " in the routing route information for each of the plurality of NFC cards And may control the NFC controller 114a to store it in the routing table.

13 is a flowchart for explaining another example of a method of storing an AID in a routing table in an NFC controller in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. 13 illustrates the case where the NFC processing mode is an off-host mode.

The steps S721 and S722 are the same as the steps S701 and S702 described above with reference to FIG. 11, and a description thereof will be omitted.

The host CPU 723 detects a user command for executing the installed application (S723). The user command may be either a user command to execute the application for the first time or a user command to select the application as a default application. Here, the default application may mean an application set to operate in the background without any user interface. For example, if an application related to an NFC card, such as a loyalty card or a transit card, is set as a default application, the user can access the mobile terminal 100 ) To the NFC reader 500, it is convenient.

In accordance with the user command, the host CPU 185 confirms routing routing information in the application-related information (S724).

Since the subsequent steps S725 to S726 are the same as the steps S704 to S705 described above with reference to FIG. 11, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

According to an embodiment, when there are a plurality of NFC cards associated with the application, the application-related information may include AID and routing route information for each NFC card. In step S725 and step S726, the host CPU 185 updates the AID of each of the NFC cards corresponding to the routing route information corresponding to "Host " from the routing route information for each of the plurality of NFC cards And can control the NFC controller 114a to store it in the routing table.

13 shows an example in which the NFC processing mode is an off-host mode. However, when the NFC processing mode is an on-host mode, when the routing route information corresponds to "Off Host" 13, except that it is stored in the routing table. Therefore, a detailed description of the case where the NFC processing mode is the on-host mode will be omitted.

On the other hand, when the application-related information of the installed application includes category information and the category information corresponds to "other ", steps S724 to S726 are performed when the application is installed regardless of whether the user command is detected . For example, an application for which category information corresponds to "other " may refer to a coupon use application that is not related to payment or accumulation. In step S726, it is determined whether the AID duplicated in the application-related information exists in the routing table in the NFC controller 114a. If the AID overlapped with the AID in the application-related information is found in the NFC controller 114a, The AID can be stored in the routing table in the NFC controller 114a only when it is not present in the routing table.

Meanwhile, according to the embodiment, when one application is associated with a plurality of NFC cards and NFC cards commonly used by people are present among them, this information is displayed as additional information of the AID in the application-related information can do. For example, the NFC card corresponding to the AID in which the additional information exists may correspond to the NFC card which is generally used frequently. Only the AID corresponding to the NFC card having a high frequency of use is preferentially stored in the routing table in the NFC controller 114a, thereby efficiently managing the storage capacity of the routing table. This will be described with reference to FIG.

14 is a flowchart for explaining another example of a method of storing AID in a routing table in an NFC controller in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 14 illustrates the case where the NFC processing mode is an off-host mode.

Steps S731 and S732 shown in Fig. 14 may be performed after the step S704, described above with reference to Fig.

The host CPU 185 confirms the presence or absence of additional information of the AID of each of the NFC cards whose routing route information corresponds to "Host " (S731).

Then, the host CPU 185 controls the NFC controller 114a to store the AID in which the additional information exists in the routing table (S732).

According to the present embodiment, the host CPU 185 stores the AID in which the additional information exists in the routing table in the NFC controller 114a when installing the application, and the AID in which the additional information does not exist is the user It can be stored in the routing table in the NFC controller 114a when the command is detected. When there are a plurality of NFC cards associated with the application, the AID of the NFC card having a relatively high possibility of being used by the user is preferentially stored in the routing table, thereby effectively managing the storage capacity of the routing table .

However, when the NFC processing mode is the on-host mode, steps S731 and S732 are performed in the steps (a) and (b) described above with reference to Fig. 12 S714, and so on) are similar to those described above with reference to FIG. 14, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

When the user selects the NFC-related menu after executing the configuration application, the first screen 810 as shown in FIG. 15 (a) can be output to the display unit 151.

The first screen 810 includes a first menu 811 corresponding to an NFC settlement function that allows the mobile terminal 100 to pay by tapping the NFC reader 500 using the NFC function. Although not shown, the first screen 810 may include a menu for selecting whether to activate the NFC function. For example, if the NFC function is in an inactive state, the first menu 811 may be displayed in a disabled state on the first screen 810.

When the first menu 811 is selected with the NFC function activated, a second screen 820 as shown in FIG. 15 (b) may be output to the display unit 151.

The second screen 820 may display a list of applications associated with the NFC card stored in the memory 170. For example, in the second screen 820, a list of applications other than the application in which the category information in the application-related information is "other" among the applications related to the NFC card stored in the memory 170 may be displayed.

For example, in the second screen 820, the first application 821 in which the routing route information in the application related information corresponds to "Host", the second application 821 in which the routing route information in the application related information corresponds to "Off Host" 822) and the second application 823 corresponding to "Off Host" in the routing information in the application related information may be displayed.

The user can set any one of the applications listed in the application list of the second screen 820 as a default application. The application set as the default application can be automatically executed in the background when the mobile terminal 100 approaches the NFC reader 500 without the user executing the corresponding application separately in the mobile terminal 100. [

When the user selects the cancel menu 841 in the guidance message 840, the third screen 830 may be output to the display unit 151 again. On the other hand, when the user selects the confirmation menu 842 in the guidance message 840, the NFC settlement mode is set to the on-host mode in the off-host mode, and the second screen 820 is displayed on the display unit 151 Can be output.

When the NFC processing mode is changed from the off-host mode to the on-host mode, the host CPU 185, among the applications related to the NFC card stored in the memory 170, The NFC controller 114a may be configured to store the AID of each application corresponding to the " Host "in the routing table. The NFC controller 114a deletes the AIDs stored in the routing table before the NFC processing mode is changed, and then stores the AIDs of the applications corresponding to the " Off-Host "in the routing information in the application-related information in the routing table .

In FIG. 16, the case where the NFC processing mode is changed from the off-host mode to the on-host mode has been described as an example, but the case where the NFC processing mode is changed from the on-host mode to the off-host mode may be similar.

When the routing route information corresponds to "Host" (S904, YES), the host CPU 185 determines whether or not the ATI in the application related information is stored in the routing table based on the NFC process mode and the routing route information. And controls the control unit 114a (S905).

According to an embodiment, when there are a plurality of NFC cards associated with the application, the application-related information may include AID and routing route information for each NFC card. In step S904 and step S905, the host CPU 185 updates the AID of the NFC card corresponding to each of the routing route information corresponding to "Host " from the routing route information for each of the plurality of NFC cards And may control the NFC controller 114a to store it in the routing table.

The host CPU 185 detects whether the storage capacity of the routing table in the NFC controller 114a is exceeded (S906). According to the embodiment, the host CPU 185 may detect an excess of the storage capacity of the routing table while storing the AID in the application corresponding to "Host " in the routing table in the NFC controller 114a When the storage space remaining in the routing table after completion of storing the AID in the application corresponding to "Host " in the routing table in the NFC controller 114a is smaller than a preset level and it is difficult to add the AID later The size of the AID to be stored when starting to store the AID in the application corresponding to the "Host" in the routing table in the NFC controller 114a may be detected in the routing table If it is larger than the remaining storage space, it may detect an excess of the storage capacity of the routing table.

If the host CPU 185 detects that the storage capacity of the routing table in the NFC controller 114a is exceeded (S906, YES), the host CPU 185 controls the display unit 151 to output a notification message to notify the user of the storage capacity of the routing table (S907). According to an embodiment of the present invention, the notification message may include a notification message for notifying the change of the NFC processing mode, a notification message for notifying the deletion of the installed application, And a notification message for notifying deletion of at least one of the plurality of NFC cards when some of the applications stored in the memory 170 are related to the plurality of NFC cards.
