1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. The mobile terminal 100 includes a communication unit 110, a user input unit 120, an output unit 130, a storage unit 140, and a control unit 150. On the other hand, the configuration shown in FIG. 1 is merely an example, and the mobile terminal 100 can be implemented with fewer or more configurations than the illustrated configuration. For example, the mobile terminal 100 may further include a configuration for transmitting and receiving a call through a mobile communication network.

The mobile terminal 100 transmits and receives data to and from other devices, mobile terminals, servers, and the like. The mobile terminal 100 can provide a push to talk (PTT) communication service to a user based on data to be transmitted and received. The 'PTT communication service' is an improved communication service for transmitting a voice message. When a user touches or presses a specific button displayed on the mobile terminal and inputs voice for a predetermined time, the voice message is transmitted to the other party . The mobile terminal 100 can install and execute the PTT application for providing the PTT service. The PTT application is installed and operated in the mobile terminal 100, and not only provides the PTT service to the user, but also provides various functions for the user to smoothly perform the PTT communication.

To further describe the PTT communication service, the mobile terminal 100 may provide the PTT service to the user with a specific conversation group. The conversation group includes one or more conversation partners, and the conversation partners are connected to each other through a PTT application installed in their own terminal to form a conversation group. That is, the mobile terminal 100 can provide the PTT service to one or more contacts through the PTT application to the user.

Hereinafter, each of the configurations included in the mobile terminal 100 of FIG. 1 will be described in detail.

The communication unit 110 transmits and receives various kinds of information such as data, signals, and commands to an external terminal, a device, or a server. For example, the communication unit 110 may transmit or receive voice messages to other terminals, devices, and servers as part of the process of performing the PTT communication. The 'voice message' may be the data of the user's voice recorded for a predetermined time, and the communication unit 110 may transmit and receive the voice message. The communication unit 110 may transmit and receive a voice message on the PTT application and provide a PTT communication service to the user. In the embodiment of the present invention, the communication unit 110 can communicate with other terminals by transmitting at least one of the captured image and the web link address generated in the PTT application to the talkgroup. The web link address can be the URL address of a specific web site.

On the other hand, PTT communication is a one-way communication in which time is divided and communicated unlike a normal telephone call. Accordingly, the communication unit 110 may disable the transmission of the PTT communication during the recording of the user's voice to transmit the voice message, or while the received voice message is being output.

The communication unit 110 may transmit and receive information by wire or wireless, and may include one or more communication modules for performing communication with an external device, a server, and a network. For example, the communication unit 110 may be a wireless LAN, a Wi-Fi, a Bluetooth, a zigbee, a WFD, an ultra wideband (UWB) Data Association, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Near Field Communication (NFC), etc. It is also possible to use various types of wireless communication technologies such as pair cable, coaxial cable, optical fiber cable, Lt; / RTI > The communication unit 110 may include a mobile communication module for implementing mobile communication and the communication unit 110 may include a location information module (for example, a GPS module) for confirming the location of the mobile terminal 100 .

The user input unit 120 receives a user input for controlling the mobile terminal 100. That is, the user input unit 120 may mean various types of means for detecting such user input. For example, the user input unit 120 may receive a touch input as a user input for controlling the PTT application.

The user input unit 120 may include a touch recognition module 122 and a voice recognition module 124. The touch recognition module 122 is implemented as a touch screen of the mobile terminal 100 to sense the touch input of the user and the voice recognition module 124 is implemented as a microphone or the like in the mobile terminal 100 to sense the user's voice . The user input unit 120 may further include various hardware configurations such as a physical button in addition to the touch recognition module 122 or the voice recognition module 124 described above.

The touch input during user input will be described in detail. As described above, the touch input refers to an input by which a user touches a part of the body or a device such as a stylus pen to the touch recognition module 122 implemented by a touch screen or the like. The touch input includes a tap contact input type, a tap and hold input type, a double tap type input type, a drag type input type, a release type type release input.

Among the touch inputs, the tap input means an input in which a user touches (or touches) a predetermined area on the touch recognition module 122 within a predetermined time. The tap-and-hold input refers to an input in which the user remains in contact with a predetermined area on the touch recognition module 122 for a predetermined time or more. The double tap input means an input by which a user touches a predetermined area on the touch recognition module 122 twice within a predetermined time. The drag input refers to an input by which a user moves a predetermined area on the touch recognition module 122 while keeping the touch from the other area. The release input means an input for releasing the touch when the user holds a tap-and-hold input on the touch recognition module 122. [

The output unit 130 outputs information such as data, signals, and result values to be processed by the mobile terminal 100. The output unit 130 may include a display unit 132 for displaying and outputting information on a screen, and an audio output module 134 for outputting audio information.

The display unit 132 displays information processed by the mobile terminal 100 on the screen and outputs the information. For example, the display unit 132 may display an execution screen of a PTT application, or may display a still image, moving image, text, and the like. Also, the display unit 132 may divide the screen in which the information is displayed into one or more areas.

For example, the display unit 132 may display a PTT communication history to be performed with a conversation group through a PTT application in a specific area on the screen, and may display an icon for operating the PTT application in a reduced mode in another area. Also, the display unit 132 may display a screen for recording and transmitting a voice message through a PTT application in a specific area on the screen, or may display a screen of another application operating according to a reduction mode, which will be described later. Also, the display unit 132 may display a list of conversation partners to share information on the screen.

In addition, the display unit 132 can display various pieces of information in a layered manner. More specifically, the display unit 132 may overlap and display other information on a part or all of the area on the screen during the output of the information on the screen. The user can visually confirm information that is overlaid on other information and floating on the information that has been output previously, and the information that is overlapped and output in a part of the area is changed in the existing information .

The sound output module 134 outputs the data processed by the mobile terminal 100 as sound. For example, the sound output module 134 may play the voice message received in the PTT application. In addition to the voice message, the sound output module 134 may output information processed by the mobile terminal 100 as an effect sound, a warning sound, or the like.

The storage unit 140 stores values, data, programs, and the like for processing or controlling information in the mobile terminal 100. The storage unit 140 may store data received from the outside or receive data from the outside. For example, the storage unit 140 may store contents (e.g., still images, video, voice messages, music, Information, etc.). Also, the storage unit 140 may store an application installed in the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., a PTT application).

The storage unit 140 may be a flash memory type, a hard disk type, a multimedia card micro type, a card type memory (for example, SD or XD memory) A random access memory (SRAM), a read only memory (ROM), an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), a programmable read-only memory (PROM) , An optical disc, and the like. Also, the mobile terminal 100 may operate a web storage or a cloud server that performs the function of the storage unit 140 on the Internet.

The controller 150 controls the operation of the mobile terminal 100 as a whole. For example, the control unit 150 may control the mobile terminal 100 to perform the PTT communication by driving the PTT application, and may control the mobile terminal 100 performing the PTT communication to operate in the reduced mode on the PTT application You may. In addition, the controller 150 may control the communication unit 110 to share the captured image or the web link address with the conversation group according to user input during operation in the reduced mode. In addition, the controller 150 may control other configurations of the mobile terminal 100 to perform operations matching the types of various user inputs received in the reduced mode. Also, the control unit 150 can also control the execution, the operation, and the termination of the PTT application for performing the PTT communication.

As described above, the mobile terminal 100 can operate the PTT application to perform PTT communication and share various information with other conversation partners. Hereinafter, a detailed description of the reduced mode and a specific process in which the mobile terminal 100 shares information through the reduced mode will be described with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG. 2 to 5 show a series of processes in which the mobile terminal operates using the configurations described in FIG. 1 in a time series flow. Therefore, even if a detailed description is omitted in FIGS. 2 to 5, the contents described in FIG. 1 can be applied equally or similarly.

FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate embodiments in which information is shared while the mobile terminal is operating in the reduced mode, and FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate embodiments in which mobile terminals that do not operate in the reduced mode share information. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a PTT communication method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

The mobile terminal operates in a reduced mode during the PTT communication through the PTT application (S210). That is, the mobile terminal switches to the reduced mode during conversation with one or more conversation groups.

The 'shrink mode' is an operation mode in which the PTT application simplifies the display area on the screen in order for the user to share information with the conversation group. When the PTT application that is in conversation with the specific conversation group is switched to operate in the reduced mode, the PTT conversation screen with the conversation group is minimized and the application that was last executed before the PTT application is activated is displayed on the screen again. When the PTT application is displayed in the entire area on the display unit of the mobile terminal and then displayed as a reduced area, some of such areas may be referred to as a 'controller'.

More specifically, the user switches the mobile terminal to the 'reduced mode' in order to share specific information in the talkgroup during PTT communication with the talkgroup. Accordingly, the mobile terminal displays again an application (e.g., a web browser application, etc.) that was executed before the PTT application was activated. At the same time, the mobile terminal reduces the PTT application screen to display a 'controller' on the screen, and some functions of the PTT application may be matched to the 'controller'.

On the other hand, the 'controller' that the mobile terminal operates in the 'reduced mode' may overlap and display in a layer form on the application displayed on the screen. The fact that the controllers are displayed in an overlapping manner means floating on the application displayed on the screen as described with reference to FIG. In addition, since the predetermined size of the controller occupies only a part of the area on the screen of the mobile terminal, the user does not visually pay a large burden even if the controller overlaps and displays the application that was executed before the PTT application.

The mobile terminal then receives an information sharing input from the user while operating in the reduced mode. This information sharing input is a type of user input, and is an input for sharing information desired by a user in a conversation group performing PTT communication before operating in the reduced mode. The information sharing input may be a tap input for touching a part of the controller displayed on the screen.

When the information sharing input is received, the mobile terminal generates a captured image of the application displayed on the screen in the reduced mode. In addition, if the screen displayed through the application is a specific web site, the mobile terminal generates a web link address of the web site. Then, the mobile terminal shares at least one of the captured image and the web link address with the conversation group that was in conversation before the reduction mode (S220).

Sharing at least one of the captured image and the web link address means transmitting the generated information to the talkgroup via the PTT application. That is, even if the PTT application operates in the reduced mode, the PTT application is continuously running in the background of the mobile terminal, and functions for performing PTT communication with the conversation partner normally operate. Accordingly, even if an input for transmitting specific information directly to the talkgroup is not received from the user, the mobile terminal generates a captured image and / or web link address and transmits the captured image and / or web link address to the talk group as the information sharing input is received.

On the other hand, the captured image can be always generated because it captures a display-output screen, but the web link address may not be generated even when an information sharing input is received. That is, in the case of the web browser application described above, the web browser has information on the web link address of the web site displayed on the screen, and the mobile terminal fetches information about the web link address according to the information sharing input, You can create and share. On the other hand, when an application other than the web browser application (e.g., a gallery application, a game application, etc.) is executed, a captured image may be generated according to the information sharing input, but a web link address is not generated. In this case, the mobile terminal simply shares the captured image with the conversation group.

Then, the mobile terminal records the voice of the user for a predetermined time as the PTT transmission input of the user is received, and transmits the generated voice message to the conversation group. That is, the PTT transmission is performed (S230). As described above, the mobile terminal can perform the function of the PTT application even while operating in the reduced mode. Accordingly, when the user operates the reduced mode and receives a user's PTT transmission input to a predetermined area of the controller displayed on the screen, the mobile terminal can transmit the recorded voice message to the conversation group.

The mobile terminal terminates the reduced mode upon receiving the reduced mode end input through a certain area on the controller (S240). The termination of the reduction mode means that the display of the application displayed on the screen in the reduced mode is stopped and the PTT application is displayed again on the screen. That is, as the reduced mode is terminated, the mobile terminal restarts the PTT communication with the talk group in which the PTT communication was performed before entering the reduced mode in the PTT application. On the other hand, since the function of the PTT application is continuously performed even in the reduced mode, the resumption of the PTT communication is merely a merit that the user can visually confirm it.

3 is a flow chart illustrating a PTT communication method in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. 3, a specific embodiment according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 2 will be described.

3 (a), a PTT application running on the mobile terminal is output on the screen 300 of the mobile terminal. The user is in PTT communication with the conversation group 'ABC meeting' which includes five contacts through the PTT application. A user may record and transmit a voice message through a tap-and-hold input to the area 320 on the screen 300.

3 (a), the area 310 is an area mapped to the reduced mode function. That is, the mobile terminal switches the operation mode of the PTT application to the reduced mode when an input touching the area 310 is received from the user.

3 (b), the mobile terminal outputs an application that was last executed before the PTT application is activated on the screen 320 as the PTT application operates in the reduced mode. In the illustrated embodiment, the mobile terminal outputs a web browser application (330).

3 (b), the mobile terminal displays the controller 340 on the screen 320 as the PTT application operates in the reduced mode. The controller 340 is a region of a predetermined size that is displayed in some area on the screen 320 and receives user inputs to perform various functions of the PTT application. The controller 340 is overlapped with the web browser application 330 and the display position of the controller 340 can be moved on the screen 320. [ For example, if a user input to drag the border of the controller 340 is received 350, the mobile terminal can move the controller 340 to another area on the screen and display it.

In addition, although the PTT application operates in the reduced mode as described above, the functions for the PTT communication are normally performed. Accordingly, when a tap-and-hold input to the area 360 is detected, the mobile terminal recognizes that the PTT call input is received and records the voice message. That is, if a tap and hold input for depressing the area 360 for a predetermined time is detected, the mobile terminal can detect the voice of the user during the corresponding time interval and transmit the voice message to the conversation group in the conversation in FIG. 3A.

On the other hand, in the illustrated embodiment, a text message received from the conversation group of FIG. 3 (a) is displayed in a portion of the controller 340. In other words, a text message and / or a voice message may be received from the conversation group even if the PTT application is operating in the reduced mode. In FIG. 3B, on the part of the controller 340, A text message ('Look at this article') received from the WWW is displayed. Accordingly, the user can check the communication history through the PTT application even while another application is running.

In FIG. 3 (b), when a tap input for the area 370 is detected, the mobile terminal recognizes that the information sharing input is received from the user. That is, if the user touches the area 370 to share the captured image and / or web link address with another contact in the conversation group, the mobile terminal displays the screen of the web browser application 330 displayed on the current screen 320 Creates a captured image. At the same time, the mobile terminal also generates information about the web link address of the website being output from the web browser application 330. [

3 (c), the mobile terminal has a pop-up window 390 for confirming the sharing of information before the user transmits the information generated in Fig. 3 (b) to the conversation group of Fig. 3 (a) . The pop-up message may be output together with the pop-up message 400 indicating that the generated information is shared, and may be output before the pop-up message 400 and the pop-up message 400 may be output as the user touches the & It is possible.

Then, the mobile terminal can continue to operate in the reduced mode, and although it is not explicitly shown, it may exit the reduced mode and return to the state of FIG. 3 (a) by touching a predetermined area on the screen. That is, the mobile terminal may output the PTT application again on the screen and restart the PTT communication.

Fig. 4 (d) shows an embodiment in which information shared by other users is confirmed according to the procedure of Figs. 3 (a) to 3 (c). In other words, if the user shares the captured image and / or web link address in FIG. 3 (c), other conversation partners included in the conversation group can confirm the shared information 420 through the PTT application 410. Unlike the embodiment described above, when an application not related to a web site is outputted instead of a web browser application in a reduced mode, the shared information 420 may include only a captured image, excluding information on a web link address have.

In the above description, the PTT application operates in the reduced mode to share information among conversation partners. 4 and 5, an embodiment in which mobile terminals share information regardless of the reduced mode will be described.

4 is a flow chart illustrating a PTT communication method in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 illustrates an embodiment in which the mobile terminal shares information during execution of applications other than the PTT application.

The mobile terminal determines to share the captured image and / or web link address of the current screen during execution of another application (S430). If the application being executed by the mobile terminal is an application for outputting a web site, the web link address may be shared.
