The radio broadcast management server generally refers to a server that generates and transmits a radio broadcast signal and / or information associated with the radio broadcast or to a server that is provided with a generated radio broadcast signal. previously and / or information associated with the radio broadcast and then transmits the supplied signal or information to a terminal. The radio broadcast signal can be implemented as a TV broadcast signal, a radio broadcast signal and a data broadcast signal, among others. If desired, the radio broadcast signal may also include a radio broadcast signal combined with a TV or radio broadcast signal.

The information associated with the broadcast includes the information associated with a broadcast channel, a broadcast program, a broadcast service provider, etc. Additionally, the information associated with the diffusion can be provided via a mobile communication network. In this case, the information associated with the diffusion can be received by the module for mobile communication 112.

The information associated with the diffusion can be implemented in various ways. For example, the information associated with the broadcast may include an electronic program guide (EPG) of digital multimedia broadcast (DMB) and the electronic service guide (ESG) of portable digital video broadcast (DVB-H).

The module for the reception of radio broadcast 111 can be configured in order to receive the transmission of the signals transmitted from various types of broadcast systems. By way of non-limiting example, such broadcasting systems include digital terrestrial multimedia broadcasting (DMB-T), digital satellite multimedia broadcasting (S-DMB), portable digital video broadcasting (DVB-H), the broadcasting system data broadcast known as the single media forwarding link (MediaFLO®) and the digital terrestrial integrated services (ISDB-T) broadcast.

(RFID), the infrared data association (IrDA), ultra-broadband (UWB), as well as in commonly referred network technologies such as Bluetooth and ZigBee, to name a few.

The location module of position 115 identifies or otherwise obtains the location of the mobile terminal 100. If desired, this module can be implemented with a module for the global positioning system (GPS).

Referring to Figure 1, the audio / video (A / V) input unit 120 is configured in order to provide the audio or video signal input to the mobile terminal 100. As shown, the input unit of A / V 120 includes a camera 121 and a microphone 122. Camera 121 receives and processes still image or video frames, which are obtained by an image sensor in a video mode called or in a photo mode. Additionally, the frames of the processed images can be displayed on the display unit 151.

The frames of the images processed by the camera 121 can be stored in the memory 160 or can be externally transmitted via the unit for wireless communication 110. Optionally, at least two cameras 121 can be provided to the mobile terminal 100 in accordance with the usage environment.

The microphone 122 receives an external audio signal while the portable device is in a special mode, such as a phone call mode, a voice recording and recognition mode and. This audio signal is processed and converted into electrical audio data. The processed audio data is transformed in a format transmissible to a base station for mobile communication via the mobile communication module 112 when it is a call mode. Microphone 122 typically includes various noise elimination algorithms in order to remove the noise generated while receiving the external audio signal.

The unit for user inputs 130 generates the input data that responds to the user manipulation of an associated input device (s). Examples of these devices include a keyboard, a dome swicht switch, a touchpad (for example, static / capacitance pressure), a jog wheel, a jog switch ), etc.

The sensor unit 140 provides the sensor signals for the control of the operations of the mobile terminal 100 by means of the status measurements of different aspects of the mobile terminal. For example, the sensor unit 140 can detect an open / closed state of the mobile terminal 100, the relative positioning of the components (for example, a screen and keyboard) of the mobile terminal 100, a change of position of the mobile terminal 100 or of a component of the mobile terminal 100, a presence or absence of user contact with the mobile terminal 100, the orientation or acceleration / deceleration of the mobile terminal 100. As an example, the mobile terminal 100 can be considered as being configured as a mobile terminal Sliding type In this configuration, the sensor unit 140 can detect if the sliding part of the mobile terminal is open or closed. Other examples include the sensor unit 140 detecting the presence or absence of the energy provided by the energy source 190, the presence or absence of a coupling or other connection between the interface unit 170 and an external device. Additionally, the sensor unit 140 may include a proximity sensor 141.

The display unit 151 is typically implemented in order to visually display the information (output) associated with the mobile terminal 100. For example, if the mobile terminal is operating in phone call mode, the screen will generally provide a user interface (UI) or a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes the associated information in order to prepare, carry out and terminate a telephone call. As another example, if the mobile terminal 100 is in a video calling mode or in a photo mode, the display unit 151 may additionally or alternatively display images that are associated with these modes, the user interface (UI) or the graphical user interface (GUI).

The display module 151 can be implemented using known display technologies, for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD), a liquid crystal display of thin film transistors (TFT-LCD), an organic light emitting diode display ( OLED), a flexible screen and a three-dimensional screen. The mobile terminal 100 may include one or more such screens.

Some of the screens above can be implemented in a transparent or optical transmissive type, which can be called a transparent screen. As a representative example for the transparent screen, there is the TOLED (transparentOLED) or the like. Also, a rear configuration of the display unit 151 can be implemented in the transmissive optical type. In this configuration, a user can see an object on the back of the body of a terminal through the area occupied by the display unit 151 of the terminal body.

At least two display units 151 may be provided to the mobile terminal 100 in accordance with the implemented configuration of the mobile terminal 100. For example, a plurality of display units may be placed on a single face of the mobile terminal 100 being in some ways separated from each other or being built in a body. Alternatively, a plurality of display units can be organized on different faces of the mobile terminal 100.

When the display unit 151 and a sensor for the detection of a touch action (hereinafter referred to as "touch sensor") configure a mutual layer structure (hereinafter referred to as "in this document" touch screen '), they can use the display unit 151 as an input device and also as an output device. In this case, the touch sensor can be configured as a touch film, a touch foil, a touch panel (touchpad) or the like.

The touch sensor can be configured in order to convert a pressure applied to a specific part of the display unit 151 or a variation of a capacitance generated from a specific part of the display unit 151 to an electrical input signal. In addition, the contact sensor can be configured in order to detect a one touch pressure as well as a touched position or size.

If an input touch is made on the touch sensor, the signal (s) corresponding to the touch is (are) transferred to a touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal (s) and then transfers the processed signal (s) to the controller 180. Therefore, the controller 180 can know if a prescribed part of the display unit 151.

Referring to Figure 1, a proximity sensor 141 can be provided to an internal area of the mobile terminal 100 enclosed in the touch screen or around the touch screen. Proximity sensor 141 is the sensor that detects the presence or absence of an object approaching an established detection surface or an existing object around proximity sensor 141 using a force or infrared beam of electromagnetic field without a mechanical contact . Thus, the proximity sensor 141 has a longer durability than that of a contact type sensor and also has a wider utility than that of the contact type sensor.

The proximity sensor 141 may include one of a photoelectric transmission sensor, a photoelectric mirror sensor, a photoelectric mirror reflective sensor, a radio frequency oscillation proximity sensor, a capacity proximity sensor electrostatics, a magnetic proximity sensor, an infrared proximity sensor and the like. When the touch screen includes the proximity sensor of electrostatic capacity, it is configured in order to detect the proximity of a pointer with an electric field variation according to the proximity of the pointer. In this case, the touch screen (touch sensor) can be classified as the proximity sensor.

In the following description, for the purpose of greater clarity, an action in which a pointer approaches without contacting the touch screen to be recognized as being located on the touch screen is called 'proximity touch'. Additionally, an action in which a pointer actually touches the touch screen is called "touch contact." The meaning of the position on the touch screen proximity-touch by the pointer means the position of the pointer that is vertically opposed to the touch screen when the pointer performs the touch proximity.

The proximity sensor 141 detects a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (eg, a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch duration, a proximity touch position, a proximity touch change state , etc..). Additionally, the information corresponding to the proximity touch action detected and the proximity touch pattern detected can be output to the touch screen.

The module for audio output 152 operates in several modes including a call reception mode, a call making mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a radio broadcast reception mode and the like with in order to emit the data that is received from the wireless communication unit 110 or that is stored in the memory 160. During the operation, the audio emission module 152 emits the audio signal related to a particular function (for example, the call received, the message received, etc.). The audio broadcast module 152 is often implemented using one or more speakers, buzzers, other audio producing devices and combinations thereof.

The alarm unit 153 emits a signal in order to announce the occurrence of a particular event associated with the mobile terminal 100. Typical events include a received call event, a received message event and a received touch input event. . The alarm unit 153 may emit a signal in order to announce the occurrence of the event through vibration as well as a video or audio signal. The video or audio signal can be output via the display unit 151 or the unit for audio broadcast 152. In this way, the display unit 151 or the audio broadcast module 152 can be considered as a part of the alarm unit 153.

First, a mobile terminal mentioned in the following description may include at least one of the components shown in Figure 1. Additionally, in order to perform an operation using the components (for example, the touch screen, the wireless communication unit, memory, etc.), controller 180 can control an individual operation of each of the components or interconnected operations between a plurality of the components.

The applications mentioned in this disclosure are manageable software programs in a mobile terminal. If the application is handled, you can execute an operation or a corresponding function. The application is basically stored in the mobile terminal (particularly in memory 160) or it can be downloaded from an external server from an external terminal.

For example, applications may include a compass, an augmented reality, a camera, a video player, a music player, a game, news, a web browser, a message, a phone book, a reminder, a management calendar of activities and the like. Of course, assignments are not limited by this example and can be implemented in more diverse ways.

Likewise, there may be content or data associated with the applications. In this case, the content associated with the data is stored in the memory 160 or can be stored on an external server that has a storage space.

For example, the content may include an audio file (associated with the music player), a video file (associated with the video player), a document file (associated with an electronic book (e-book)) and the like Additionally, the data may include the content of a message (associated with the message), a reminder content (associated with the note), a contact information (associated with the telephone directory), a content of a calendar of activities (associated to the management of the calendar of activities) and the like.

In accordance with the present invention, a mobile terminal may configure a plurality of different modes from each other in the configuration of the application for the purpose of data security for one mode against another mode or data security between different modes. . Additionally, the mobile terminal according to the present invention can implement a plurality of modes selectively or simultaneously (or sequentially).

When a specific application is executed in a prescribed mode, at least one inter-executable application with the specific application can be executed in the prescribed mode. For example, if a specific application is a voice call, an inter-executable application with the voice call may include a telephone directory, a message and the like.

With reference to mode discrimination in the configuration of the application, an executable application in each of a plurality of modes may include at least one executable application (hereinafter referred to herein as a dedicated application) to be dedicated in any from among a plurality of modes or at least one executable application (hereinafter referred to as a common application) in any of a plurality of modes. In particular, the common application may change at least one characteristic in each of a plurality of ways in which the corresponding application is executable. For example, at least one is changeable between, the configuration, the representation, the security and the like of the common application. This will be described in detail later.

Of course, the common application cannot change its characteristic in each of a plurality of ways in which the corresponding application is executable. For example, if the common application includes such a basic application of a terminal as a voice call, a message and the like, it cannot change its characteristic.

For example, if a first to a third application is executed in a first mode and if the third application, a fourth application and a fifth application are executed in a second mode, the first and second applications, the third application and the fourth application and The fifth application may be called the specific applications of the first mode, the common application of the first and second modes and the dedicated applications of the second mode, respectively.

A plurality of modes may include a first mode (ie, a private mode) that facilitates the personal life of the user, a second mode (i.e., a business mode) that facilitates the life of a user's work and the like. This allows a mobile terminal to be used discriminatively considering the personal life of a user (for example, privacy) and the public life of a user (for example, the working life) of a user. In particular, with a view to strengthening security, when a private mode or a business mode is well implemented, a restriction may be placed on an access to the information corresponding to the other mode.

The private mode described above and the business mode are simply examples in order to describe a

plurality of modes. If the private mode described above and the business mode are convenient for the discrimination reference of the mode in this disclosure, they are not limited by their names. Although the mode discrimination of a plurality of modes is explained in the description above based on the configuration of the application, it will be described in detail later with reference to the attached drawings.

The implementation and activation of a plurality of modes mentioned in the description of the present invention will be defined as follows.

First, according to the present invention, a mobile terminal can implement a plurality of all modes and is also capable of activating one of a plurality of the modes currently implemented. For example, if a plurality of modes includes a first and a second mode, the mobile terminal starts up an operating system capable of applying both the first and second modes in order to implement them and can then activate the first or second Second mode implemented, in a selective way.

In particular, if both the first and second modes are already implemented, the mode to display a screen executed on the current screen, the mode to designate the currently executed application, the mode that has a high priority or the like can be called An activated mode. In this case, a non-activated mode (or a deactivated mode) can be observed as operational such as a wallpaper regardless of being implemented in the mobile terminal. More especially, if a screen executed in the first mode and a screen executed in the second mode are being displayed in a first region and in a second region of the screen through the partition of the screen, respectively, the mode selected by a user, the mode to activate the region that currently corresponds, the mode to design a currently executed application, the mode that has a high priority or the like can be observed as activated.

Occasionally, after the mobile terminal has implemented and activated one mode, if the mobile terminal attempts to change the current mode to the other mode, the mobile terminal may implement and activate the other mode (i.e., selective implementation and activation of the mode ).

In the following description, the implementation of a plurality of modes and the operations of the components required for the mode switching for a plurality of modes is explained in detail with reference to Figures 3A to 4C.

Figures 3A to 3C are block diagrams of the components necessary for the implementation of a plurality of modes and a mode switching between a plurality of modes according to the present invention.

Figure 3A is a block diagram of a controller 180 for managing a plurality of operating systems (OS) and configuring a dedicated screen among a plurality of operating systems. Additionally, Figure 3B is a block diagram of a screen processor 185 that is shown in Figure 3A. In particular, Figure 3A and Figure 3B show when a plurality of operating systems are provided in parallel with each other (see, Figure 4A (a) and Figure 4B).

In accordance with the present invention, a plurality of modes can be implemented by a plurality of operating systems, respectively. In particular, the operating system to support the implementation may differ according to the mode.

Referring to FIG. 3A, a controller 180 may include a display processor 185, a driver (controller) 186, a hypervisor 187 and a main processor 188. In this case, hypervisor 187 may be referred to as a terminology such as an engine virtual (a virtual machine), a virtualization module (virtualization), a virtual engine monitor (a virtual machine monitor), a virtualization module monitor (a virtualization monitor). This terminology is simply an example. Additionally, a component capable of performing the same function as hypervisor 187 is not limited by the corresponding terminology.

Each of a plurality of operating systems stored in memory 160 is provided with a buffer (frame buffer). If a plurality of operating systems are being managed, the display processor 185 receives a frame corresponding to a screen dedicated to the operating system corresponding to each of the buffers and then determines whether the dedicated screen of a prescribed one of between the operating systems on a screen of the display unit 151 under the control of the main processor 188.

Under the control of the main processor 188, the display processor 185 shows the dedicated screen of the specific operating system on the entire screen of the display unit 151 (for example, when a mode is implemented only). Alternatively, the screen processor 185 generates an integrated frame by combining or editing the frames received from the buffers and can then display an integrated dedicated screen that includes all dedicated screens from among a plurality of operating systems (for example , when a plurality of modes are implemented).

Referring to Figure 3A, a plurality of operating systems SO1 ... SO N are arranged in parallel with respect to each other, which can be described in detail with reference to Figure 4a (a) and the Figure 4B as follows.

Figure 4A (a) and Figure 4B show a commissioning scheme for a plurality of operating systems SO Huesped 1 and SO Huesped 2 that respectively support the modes in parallel by loading a hypervisor (hereinafter referred to as this document a first scheme).

Referring to Figure 4A (a) and Figure 4B, the mobile terminal 100 can implement a Host OS 1 and a Host OS 2 sequentially or simultaneously, selectively. Additionally, a different mode can be signaled for each of the Host OS 1 and Host OS 2. In this case, the operation of Host OS 1 and Host OS 2 and activation of the corresponding mode can be performed by the hypervisor. . The components shown in Figure 4B can perform the general operations related to the virtualization engine technology.

The start-up of a Multi-SO and the activation of the mode corresponding to the Multi-SO start-up are described in detail as follows. First, in the case (1) of activating a mode that corresponds to the Hosted OS 1 and Hosted OS 2 currently in operation or in the case (2) of commissioning of the Hosted OS 1 corresponding to the first mode and Host OS 2 corresponding to a second mode sequentially or simultaneously, controller 180 (particularly, the hypervisor) implements and activates either the first mode or the second mode (2-1) or can activate the mode first or second regardless of the implementation of both the first and second modes (2-2).

Referring now to Figure 3, the screen processor 185 includes a design manager 185a and a screen controller 185b (see Figure 3B). Under the control of the main processor 188, the design manager 185a generates an integrated frame by combing or editing the frames received from the buffers and then, the display controller 185b controls the frame generated by the design manager 185a with the in order to be shown on the display unit 151.

Driver 186 controls the entire operating system in order to be managed. The hypervisor 187 is a logic for exchanging information between applications, between the main processor 188 and each of the operating systems and includes a virtualization engine configured for a plurality of the operating systems in order to be usable in the mobile terminal 100 in accordance with the present invention. Additionally, the main processor 188 controls all operations related to the management of a plurality of operating systems in accordance with it present invention.

As mentioned in the description above, the display processor 185, driver 186, hypervisor 187 and main processor 188 may be included in controller 180 or may be stored as software in memory 160.

Figure 3C is a block diagram of memory 160 having a database storage region corresponding to each of a plurality of modes.

In accordance with the present invention, the mobile terminal can manage the storage regions of the databases in a plurality of modes in a discriminative manner. In particular, when a plurality of the modes are implemented by the different operating systems, respectively, the mobile terminal can manage the storage regions of the databases of a plurality of the modes in a discriminative manner.

Generally, when at least one operating system capable of implementing a first and second mode is provided, memory 160 is capable of storing an application corresponding to each of at least one operating system. Therefore, the at least one or more operating systems provided can be started selectively or simultaneously under the control of controller 180.

For example, the operating system may include commercial OS systems such as Android OS, Linux-based OS, Windows Mobile OS, Apple OS and the like. Additionally, a dedicated application can be established differently for each of the operating systems. Additionally, a multi-OS can include different types of operating systems (for example, Android OS, Apple OS, etc.) and the same types of operating systems (for example, version 2.1 of the Android operating system, version 2.2 of the Android OS, etc.) different from each other with reference to the version.

In accordance with the present invention, assuming that both the first mode and the second mode can be implemented, the memory 160 may include a first region for the storage of the database 160 (a) corresponding to the first mode, a second region for the storage of the database 160 (b) corresponding to the second mode and a common region for the storage of the database 160 (c) in with the first mode and the second mode. Occasionally, the common region for database storage 160

(c) can be omitted. In this case, a commonly designed application and the content or data associated with the corresponding application may be stored in the database storage region in the corresponding manner.

In particular, in the configuration of the first, the second and the common storage regions of the database, the memories of the mobile terminal 100 use different memories with respect to each other in the hardware such as the storage regions, places restrictions on access to storage regions by mode, regardless of providing storage regions within the same memory or can discriminate storage regions from each other using a storage partition for each mode.

In this case, the same operating system implements the first mode and the second mode or operating systems can implement the first mode and the second mode, respectively. On the other hand, at least two or more modes can be implemented by mobile terminal 100. If so, the storage regions of the database can be further subdivided.

In particular, the first region for the storage of database 160 (a) may include a region (ie, a first application region) to store at least a first executable application in the first mode, a region (is that is, a first content region) in order to store content associated with the first application and a region (i.e., a first data region) in order to store the data associated with the first application.

Additionally, the second region for the storage of database 160 (b) may include a region (ie, a second application region) in order to store at least a second application executable in the second mode, a region (i.e. a second content) to store content associated with the second application and a region (i.e., a second data region) in order to store the data associated with the second application.

On the other hand, the region for the storage of the common database 160 (c) may include a region (ie, a common region of the application) in order to store at least one common application executable in both, the first mode and the second mode, a region (i.e. a region of common content) in order to store content associated with the common application and a region (i.e. a common region of data) in order to store data associated with the common application.

When the second mode is a business mode that facilitates the public life of a user, the information stored in the second region for the storage of databases 160 (b) and the information corresponding to the second mode in the region for Common database storage 160 (c) can only be used if the corresponding information is stored in such a way with the intention of being shared with a server of the company 300, the corresponding information is stored on the server of Company 300 (that is, the second region 160 (b) is not necessary for the storage of the databases) or access to the server of the company 300. In this case, the server of the company 300 may include a server of a company, for which a user works, a server of a specific company designated by a user (or a company where the user works) or the like.

While the first mode is activated, the mobile terminal 100 can use the information stored in the first region for the storage of the databases 160 (a) and the information corresponding to the first mode in the region for the storage of the database. common data 160 (c). While the second mode is activated, the mobile terminal 100 can use all the information stored in the first, second and common regions for the storage of the database 160 (a), 160 (b) and 160 (c).

Alternatively, while the second mode is activated, the mobile terminal 100 may use the information stored in the first region for the storage of the database 160 (a) and the information corresponding to the second mode in the region for the storage of the common database 160 (c). While the first mode is activated, the mobile terminal 100 can use all the information stored in the first, second and common regions for the storage of the database 160 (a), 160 (b) and 160 (c).

Optionally, the mobile terminal 100 can be controlled so that it does not use the information in the first mode while the second mode is activated.

Apart from that, although the drawing shows the application region, the content region and the data region are located in the region for the storage of the database, the application region, the content region and the data region They can be integrated together if necessary.

Figure 4A (b) and Figure 4 show a scheme for the management of a hypervisor in a Host Operating System (Host OS) in order to support a mode to launch a Host Operating System (Guest OS) to support another mode (hereinafter referred to as a second scheme in this document). In particular, a

mode supported by the Host Operating System (Host OS) may include a private mode. Additionally, a mode supported by the Host Operating System (OS Host) may include a business mode.

More especially, referring to Figure 4C, a manager (B2B) (of relations between companies) can perform an operation for switching between a private mode (hereinafter, abbreviated as P mode) and a business mode ( hereinafter, abbreviated as mode B). The components shown in a region of a P mode of the two regions partitioned by a dotted line can function when the private mode is implemented, the components shown in the mode B region can function when the enterprise mode is implemented and the components included in both modes can work in both modes.

In accordance with the present invention, mobile terminal 100 can implement a plurality of modes in an operating system selectively, simultaneously or sequentially. A different operating system (hereinafter referred to as an individual operating system) is designed for each of a plurality of modes or a common operating system may be designed for a plurality of modes. Specifically, the implementation of a plurality of modes can be controlled by hypervisor 187.

In particular, a mode currently implemented or activated according to an individual or common operating system is defined as follows. For the purpose of clarity and comfort of the following description, it is assumed that a plurality of modes includes a first mode and a second mode. Of course, at least two or more modes may exist if necessary.

First, a common operating system is started, the controller 180 implements and activates either the first mode or the second mode (1) or it can activate either the first mode or the second mode despite both implementing the first mode and the second mode.

When an individual operating system is launched, the controller implements and activates a mode that corresponds to an individual operating system currently in operation (1), implements and activates a mode that corresponds to one between the first mode and the second mode , when a first operating system corresponding to the first mode and a second operating system corresponding to the second mode are started sequentially or simultaneously (2-1) either activates the first mode or the second mode despite of the implementation of both the first mode and the second mode (2-2).

In the following description, it is explained in detail how to discriminate one from each other within a plurality of modes.

First, in accordance with the present invention, each of a plurality of modes may be discriminated against by at least one mode indicator, a region for database storage, an operating system, an access authorization for the user, an application configuration, a content configuration, a data configuration, an application characteristic, a group of applications, a group identifier and the like.

A case of discrimination of a plurality of modes using a mode indicator according to a first embodiment is explained as follows.

First, each of a plurality of modes may have a different indicator in order to indicate a corresponding mode. An indicator by mode is basically stored in mobile terminal 100 or can be downloaded from an external server or an external terminal. The mode indicator is set or selected by a user or can be randomly configured by controller 180.

For example, each of a plurality of modes may have a different mode icon, a mode image, a wallpaper image, a wallpaper color / brightness, a font / color / size of source, an image of the home screen (with the number of pages and page indicator included), a structure of the layout of the applications (for example, the number of applications included in a home screen, etc.), an identifier of application, an LED color, an alarm sound that sounds such as a bell sound and the like, a type of keyboard (including the color of the keyboard backlight), a key zone for mode switching, an identifier group (described below) and the like. Of course, those examples of the mode indicator are simply examples and can include all the elements that can be displayed in order to discriminate a mode.

This is explained in detail with reference to Figures 5A to 5D. In order to improve the clarity and comfort of the following description, it is assumed that a first mode and a second mode include a private mode and a business mode, respectively. Additionally, it is assumed that both the private mode or the company mode are in an active state.

Figures 5A and 10C are diagrams in order to discriminate a plurality of modes according to the present invention.

Referring to Figure 5A, if a personal mode is currently activated, the mobile terminal 100 may display an icon (mode P) 501 which corresponds to the private mode in a prescribed region of a screen (see Figure 5A (a)). If a company mode is currently activated, the mobile terminal 100 may display an icon (mode B) which corresponds to the region prescribed to the company mode in a prescribed region of a screen (see Figure 5A (b)).

Referring to Figure 5B, the mobile terminal 100 includes a key region for mode switching 510 provided to a prescribed region of the screen. If the personal mode is currently activated, the mobile terminal 100 may discriminatively display a zone (P) 511 corresponding to the private mode in the key region for mode switching 510 (see Figure 5B (a)). If the enterprise mode is currently activated, the mobile terminal 100 may discriminately display a zone (B) 512 corresponding to the enterprise mode in the key region for mode switching 510 (see Figure 5B (b)) .

Referring to Fig. 5C, a private mode zone 521, a business mode zone 522 and a management zone of switching 523 are provided to the mobile terminal screen 100. If the private mode is currently activated, the mobile terminal 100 can display, in a discriminatory manner, the zone in private mode (P) 521 (see Figure 5C (a)). If the business mode is currently activated, the mobile terminal 100 can display, in a discriminative manner, the business mode zone (B) 522 (see Figure 5C (b)).

Referring to Figure 5, if private mode is currently activated, mobile terminal 100 may display a warning window 531 in order to announce events (for example, an email, a message, a call, etc.) that occurs in association with the company mode or the number of events (or, the moment in which it occurs, the information of the interlocutor, etc.) in a prescribed region of the screen (see Figure 5D (a)). If the business mode is currently activated, mobile terminal 100 may display a warning window 532 in order to announce the events (for example, an email, a message, a call, etc.) that occurs in association with the private mode or the number of events (or, the moment in which it occurs, the information of the interlocutor, etc.)) in a prescribed region of the screen (see Figure 5D (b)).

In the following description, a case of discrimination of a plurality of the modes that use a region for the storage of the database according to a second embodiment is explained.

First, a plurality of the modes can have, respectively, discriminatively, regions for the storage of the databases within the memory 160, (see Figure 3).

Each of a plurality of modes may use the information stored in the corresponding region for the storage of the database or only the corresponding information stored in the common region for the storage of the database. On the other hand, you can set the information in one way in order not to be used in other modes. In addition, a mode from among a plurality of modes (e.g., enterprise mode) may use the information in another mode (eg, private mode), while the latter mode may be configured for the purpose of Do not use the information in the previous mode.

In the case the information in the first mode can be used in the second mode (however, the first mode is unable to use the information in the second mode), it can be said that an access restriction is set in the second mode or that a higher level of security is established in the second mode (described below).

This is explained in detail with reference to Figures 7A to 7B as follows. For the purpose of clarity and convenience of the following description, it is assumed that a first mode and a second mode include a private mode and a business mode, respectively. It is assumed that both the private mode and the business mode are in an active state. Additionally, it is assumed that a common application of the first and second modes is currently running.

Referring to Figure 6A, when a telephone directory (an example of a common application) is being executed in private mode, mobile terminal 100 extracts the information of the correspondent corresponding to the private mode of the information of the partner associated only with the telephone directory and then can display the information extracted from the interlocutor.

Referring to Figure 6B, when a telephone directory is executed in private mode, the mobile terminal 100 extracts the information from the correspondent corresponding to the business mode of the information of the partner associated with the telephone directory and then shows the information extracted from the interlocutor (see Figure 6B (a)). Alternatively, the mobile terminal 100 extracts the information from the correspondent corresponding to either the private mode or the business mode and can then display the information extracted from the interlocutor (see Figure 6B b)).

In particular, Figure 6B (b) shows when a zone (all) 603 is activated. If a privacy zone (P) 601 is activated, the mobile terminal 100 can selectively display the information of the correspondent corresponding to the private mode only. If a company zone (B) 602 is activated, the mobile terminal 100 can selectively display the information of the correspondent that corresponds only to the company mode.

Referring to Figure 7A, when an activity calendar manager (example of a common application) is being executed in the private mode, the mobile terminal 100 extracts the schedules corresponding to the private mode of the schedules associated with the calendar management of activities only and then you can show the schedules of extradited activities.

Referring to Figure 7B, when an activity calendar manager is being executed in private mode, mobile terminal 100 extracts the schedules of the activities that correspond to the company mode of the schedules of the activities associated with the calendar management of activities and then, show the schedules of extradited activities (see Figure 7B (a)). Alternatively, the mobile terminal 100 extracts the schedules of the activities that correspond either to the private mode or to the company mode and can then show the extradited schedules (see Figure 7B (b)).

In particular, Figure 7B (b) shows when a zone (all) 703 is activated. If a privacy zone (P) 701 is activated, the mobile terminal 100 can selectively show the schedules of the activities that correspond only to the private mode. If a company zone (B) 702 is activated, the mobile terminal 100 can selectively show the schedules of the activities that correspond only to the company mode.

Specifically, referring to figures 6A to 7B, although the private mode is unable to access the information in the business mode or the region for the storage of the database that stores the information in the business mode, the business mode You can freely access the information in private mode or the region for the storage of the database that stores the information in private mode.

According to a third embodiment, each of a plurality of modes can be discriminated by the access authority that corresponds to a user. For the purpose of greater clarity and comfort of the following description, it is assumed that a plurality of modes includes a first mode and a second mode.

With respect to each of a plurality of modes according to and as a security level is established, a user access authorization (1) can be changed. With respect to each of a plurality of modes, if an access restriction is set in one mode but an access restriction is not set in the other mode, an access authorization of a user (2) can be changed.

For this, in order to be able to enter a specific one from among a plurality of modes, an authentication procedure may be required. Therefore, the specific mode can only be accessed if a valid authentication procedure is performed in order to enter the specific mode. In particular, if an access restriction or security level is set on a predetermined reference in the specific mode, an authentication procedure may be required.

For example, in a mode that has a high user access authority, the information corresponding to a mode that has a reduced user access authorization or to a region for storing the database of the corresponding information is freely accessible. and can be used freely. On the contrary, a mode that has a reduced user access authorization is unable to access the information that corresponds to a mode that has a high user access authority or a region for storing the information database. correspondent.

When entering or switching to a mode that has a high user access authority, an information entry is required for the authentication of a user. If a valid user authentication information is entered, the mobile terminal 100 may enter or switch to the mode that has the elevated user access authority (an example of an authentication procedure). When a mode having a reduced security level, the mobile terminal 100 is required to enter user authentication information (eg, name, social security number, etc.) of a reduced level. When a mode having a high security level, the mobile terminal 100 is required to enter user authentication information (for example, the name, social security number, a specific touch pattern, a specific password, etc. .) of a high level.

With respect to the management (for example, the introduction, consultation, editing, etc.) of the information (e.g., content, data, etc.) in an application in accordance with an access authorization of user, three types of cases are described in detail. For the purpose of greater clarity and comfort of the following description, it is assumed that a plurality of modes includes a first mode and a second mode.

First, according to a first case, there may be applications in which they can be introduced

the contents or the data independently of a way. For example, the content or data entered into an application may include such as, an application for the purpose of performing a basic function in the use of a terminal, such as a telephone directory management, an activity calendar manager, a email, a message, a messenger, a conference call, a video call, an internet, a telephone directory and the like.

According to a second case, such as the first case, an introduction of information is possible without discrimination of way. However, you can discriminate against a region for database storage by mode (see Figure 3).

In particular, the exchange of information between modes is impossible but the exchange of unilateral information is possible. For example, a transfer of information from a private mode to a business mode is possible, but a transfer of information from a business mode to a private mode is impossible. In another example, by establishing a plurality of modes at different security levels, respectively, a transfer of information from a low level to a high level is possible but a transfer of information from a high level to a low level is impossible.

When in a specific situation, an external terminal that has a predetermined authority at a remote location deletes the information (for example, the application, the content, the data, etc.) only in a specific mode or can close the specific mode itself in itself. For example, the specific situation may include one of, when an employee takes a terminal without authorization, when a terminal is stolen, when an unregistered storage medium is loaded into a terminal, when a terminal accesses a network from which It is not paid and the like.

Additionally, with respect to a user access authority, you can differentiate an authority in order to have access to an application, content, information or the like, which is available for a business mode, in accordance with a user level (for example, the user level is determined taking into account the rank in the company, the service attribute in the company, the department in the company, etc.) of the mobile terminal 100. Additionally, it is also capable to differentiate a function for a specific application. For example, when a user level (for example, a group leader) is equal to or higher than a predetermined reference, an approval grant function is usable. However, when a user level (for example, an employee of the company) is lower than a predetermined reference, the function of the approval concession is deactivated. On the other hand, the same application may have a usable content / data that differs according to a user level or the same content and / data may have a different range of information provided according to a user level (e.g., a different data field can be configured according to a user level). In addition, according to an authority for a user, an icon associated with a job that does not belong to the corresponding authority is not shown in the terminal itself. Even if the icon is displayed on the terminal, it can be configured in order not to be executed.

According to a third case, there may be an application (for example, dedicated applications) accessible to the corresponding information as well as operable both in a first mode and in a second mode.

For example, for security matters in an enterprise mode, a photographic function is restricted, conditional access to a network is granted or a printing function is blocked. When in business mode, an application related to the business is provided. When this is a private mode, the application related to the company may not be provided. Of course, when in private mode, an application related to privacy is provided. When in business mode, the application related to privacy may not be provided.

Meanwhile, there may be specialized content or application in a single unilateral way. For example, the specialized application for the business mode may include an application related to a company's business. Additionally, the application related to the business of a company can perform a function of a load to a server of the company, a function of a download to the server of the company and the like.

Additionally, you can place an access restriction (or entry) by mode, according to a place or time. For example, a business mode that cannot be used at home can be established. Another example may be a private mode in which a specific time zone cannot be entered. Occasionally, a separately authorized person may enter the company mode at home or in the private mode at the office in a specific time zone.

On the other hand, because an interface is provided in order to be shared with users in business mode, information can be shared with users. If the business mode is switched to private mode, the interface that has been provided in order to share the information can be closed.

In addition, there may be a hardware module (for example, a common module) usable for a plurality of common modes or another hardware module (for example, a dedicated module) usable for a version

specific among a plurality of modes. Therefore, if a first mode is currently activated, a common module and a dedicated mode of the first mode are activated, while a dedicated module and a second module are not activated. In this case, the common module and the dedicated module are designed according to the selection of a user or can be designed by a decision made by the controller 180 or the company server 300.

For example, assuming that a first mode and a second mode are a private mode and a business mode, respectively, a common module may include one among, a mobile communication module 112 for the transmission and reception of calls and calls. messages, a power supply unit 190, a display unit 151, a memory 160 and the like. A dedicated module of the private mode may include one among, a camera 121, a position location module 115 and the like. Additionally, a dedicated enterprise mode module may include a projector module 155 or the like. The examples above the communication module and the dedicated module are simply examples, so the communication module and the dedicated module are not limited. Additionally, the communication module and the dedicated module can be configured in the most diverse ways.

In the following description, a user access authorization is explained in detail with reference to Figure 8A and Figure 8B. For the purpose of greater and comfort of the following description, it is assumed when the same content has been accessed.

Referring to Figure 8A, when a document 1 (an example of content) is accessed in a private mode, mobile terminal 100 may grant "reading authority" for document 1 (see Figure 8A (a)). When a document 1 is accessed in a company, mobile terminal 100 may grant "authority to read, authority to delete, authority to edit" for document 1 (see Figure 8A (b)). On the other hand, if a user is authorized at a predetermined level in a company, an approval of authority may be granted to the user for document 1 that requires an approval or authorization.

Referring to Figure 8B, when a file 1 (an example of content) corresponding to an enterprise mode is selected from a list of files in a private mode (see Figure 8B (a)), mobile terminal 100 informs a user that there is no access authority in file 1 and allows the user to select whether to switch private mode to enterprise mode in order to check file 1 (see Figure 8B (b)).

Of course, when the private mode is in Figure 8B, a file that corresponds to the business mode cannot be included in the file list. Additionally, you can display an indicator, which indicates that the file corresponds to the privacy / company mode, in the file list.

Although the user's access authority is established by the way in the description above, it can be established, if necessary, by application, by content or by data. Therefore, an authorized user with the user's access authority can verify the same content, while an unauthorized user is not able to verify the same content.

According to a fourth embodiment, each of a plurality of modes may be discriminated against in accordance with at least one of the application, a configuration of the application, a configuration of content and a configuration of the data.

Each of a plurality of modes can configure a different application per mode. Even if an application is a common application, each of a plurality of modes can configure a content or data corresponding to the application differently.

In this case, if the configuration of the application is different, it means that at least one application (hereinafter referred to as a first dedicated application) dedicated to a first mode and at least one application (named in hereinafter a common application) in common with the first mode and a second mode are executed in the first mode or this may mean that in at least one application (hereinafter referred to as a dedicated second application) dedicated to the second mode and at least one application (hereinafter referred to as a common application) in common with the first mode and the second mode are executed in the second mode (see Figure 10).

In the case that the configuration of the content / data is different, it may include both when a substance of the content / data is different and when a substance of the content / data is partly different. Specifically, this last case may mean that a substance of a specific content that corresponds to each of the first mode and the second mode is different even if the specific content is designed for both the first mode and the second mode. This is allowed for a way to configure a different data field per mode for the same content or data.

This is explained in detail with reference to Figure 9A and Figure 9B as follows.

Referring to Figure 9A, when the same information of the interlocutor is stored, mobile terminal 100 designates the different contacts 911 and 921 and the different emails 912 and 922 to a private mode and a company mode, respectively, also designated a blog of addresses 913 and a birthday information 914 to the private mode and also designates an approval authority 923, a rank 924 and a department 925 to the private mode.

Referring to Figure 9B, when the same calendar of activities is stored, even if a content and the information of the participant 931 and a content and the information of the participant 941 are identically designated to a private mode and a business mode, respectively , the mobile terminal 100 can also designate a time information 932 to the private mode and is also able to designate an information of the conference room 942 and a notification 943 to the business mode.

The mobile terminal 100 can set a different type of keyboard per mode (see Figure 10A) or you can set a time zone (time zone) per mode (see Figure 10B). The mobile terminal 100 may establish a different application and a different level of information backup associated with the application by mode. For example, mobile terminal 100 archives information from a recent week in private mode and is also able to archive information from a recent month or real-time information in business mode. Of course, the level of the backup by mode is set by a user or can be set randomly by the controller180.

In particular, in business mode, if a partner's terminal is not in business mode or a work hour (or on a vacation) currently in the consideration of a state (for example, a currently activated mode, a current location, a time zone, etc.) of the partner's terminal, with which the mobile terminal 100 is currently trying to contact, the mobile terminal 100 informs the user of the unavailability of the terminal of the opposing party in order to allow to the user select if he wants to make a contact. In doing so, the mobile terminal 100 can receive information indicating the status of the partner's terminal from the partner's terminal or a company server and can then obtain the status of the partner's terminal using the information received.

In company mode, you can modify all previously stored activity schedules in order to be set in a time zone to which you currently belong by reflecting a current time zone (for when a time zone is changed).

When there is no user input action performed for a certain period of time in the business mode, you can automatically lock or close the business mode according to a user selection. In this case, with the intention of unlocking the locked state or canceling the closure, a user authentication information corresponding to the company mode is entered or an authentication must be granted by the company server. On the other hand, in the enterprise mode, when an intercontinental roaming function is loaded in a user terminal, if a current location of the user is domestic, the intercontinental roaming function is automatically deactivated. If a user's current location is abroad, the intercontinental roaming function can be activated automatically.

According to a fifth embodiment, when at least one common application is executed, each of a plurality of modes may vary its characteristic in order to correspond with a currently activated mode. In other words, when a specific application is a common application of a first and second mode, the characteristic of the specific application may vary according to the currently activated mode, the first mode or the second mode.

In this case, if a feature varies according to the mode, it can mean that a configuration is varied (for example, an included configuration that corresponds to content / data), the screen or the security of an application.

For example, if a characteristic varies by mode, this may mean that a structure (for example, the configuration of an item that corresponds to the menu) of an application, of an executed screen (for example, the background image, the type of letter, font size, information, etc.) of an application, of a content / data configuration associated with an application (see Figure 9A, Figure 9B), of a function of an application, of a security of an application (or, the contents, the data, etc.) or the like, is different according to the mode. Of course, since the examples of the characteristics of the application are only examples, any case of the configuration of a common application to be different according to the mode is applicable to the present embodiment.

For example, when the application function is different, a photographic function is allowed to a camera in a private mode but may not be allowed in a business mode. For the purpose of another example, when an access authority for an application is different, a telephone directory provides a caller's name, a telephone number and a personal email address in a private mode and can also provide an email address. electronic of the company, a rank, a department and one of the authority of

Approval in a company mode.

This is explained in detail with reference to Figure 10 as follows. For the purpose of clarity and convenience of the following description, it is assumed that a plurality of modes includes a private mode and a business mode.

Referring to Figure 10, the mobile terminal 100 can receive from an user an entry of an execution order signal in order to execute a telephone directory (ie, an example of a common application).

The mobile terminal 100 determines an activated mode at the synchronization input point of the execution order signal. If a private mode is currently activated, the mobile terminal 100 executes the telephone directory according to a feature corresponding to the private mode and then displays a screen executed from the telephone directory (see Figure 6A or Figure 9A (a)). On the contrary, if an enterprise mode is activated, the mobile terminal 100 executes the telephone directory according to a characteristic that corresponds to the enterprise mode and then shows an executed screen of the telephone directory (see Figure 6B or Figure 9A ( b)).

For example, when the security of an application is different, it is explained as follows. First, when trying to execute a common application in a first mode, an authentication procedure is not required or a low level of security establishment authentication information needs to be entered. However, when attempting to run a common application in a second mode, an authentication procedure is required or a high level security establishment authentication information must be entered. In this way, the execution of the application can include an emission of content or data associated with the application as well as a visualization of a screen executed of the application.

According to a sixth embodiment, a plurality of modes can be discriminated from each other using the user information corresponding to the modes, respectively. In this case, the user information may include a user name (or a title), a user image, a user's telephone number, a user's email address, a user's blog address and the like.

For example, the different information of a first and a second user, one with respect to the other, can be established for the first and second modes, respectively. In particular, when a first telephone number and a second telephone number (for example, in a dual SIM) are assigned to mobile terminal 100, the first telephone number and the second telephone number can be set for the first mode and the second mode, respectively.

In the description above, the definitions of the modes mentioned in the disclosure are explained. Additionally, when there is a plurality of modes, the method of discriminating a plurality of modes is also explained.

According to a seventh embodiment, each of a plurality of modes can be discriminated by an application group that includes at least one application executed in the corresponding mode.

For example, when at least one application is executable in each of a plurality of modes, the controller 180 may configure an application group including the application (s) executable (s) per mode. On the other hand, the application group can be configured according to an application type, as well as the corresponding mode. For example, if one type of application is a call, the applications related to the call are included in the corresponding application group. If one type of application is a camera, the applications related to the camera can be included in the corresponding application group.

On the other hand, mobile terminal 100 shows a group identifier by the way that corresponds to an application group by mode on the screen. If a specific group identifier is selected, the mobile terminal 100 can display the indicators of the applications belonging to the corresponding application group or can switch a current mode to a mode corresponding to the specific group identifier (assuming it is not a mode that is currently activated).

In the following description, when there is a plurality of modes, it is explained in detail how to switch from one mode to another mode with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 11 is a first flow chart for a control method for a mode switching in a mobile terminal according to the present invention. For the purpose of greater clarity and comfort of the following description, it is assumed that a plurality of modes includes a first mode and a second mode. While both the first and second modes are implemented, it is assumed that the first mode or the second mode is selectively activated by a mode switch. Additionally, an application executable in both modes, the first mode and the second mode can be called a common application. On the other hand, an executable application in both the first mode and the second mode can be called a dedicated application.

Referring to Figure 11, while they are implementing a first and a second mode, mobile terminal 100 activates the first mode under the control of controller 180 (S1110). Thus, if an operating system is designated by mode, the controller 180 can implement the first mode and the second mode using a first individual operating system and a second individual operating system (ie, a first OS and a second OS in multi -SO) corresponding to the first mode and the second mode, respectively. If one operating system is common per mode, controller 180 may implement the first mode and the second mode using a common operating system (i.e., a single OS).

In the first step S1110 to activate the mode, when a common application is executed, the mobile terminal 100 can execute the common application according to a characteristic corresponding to the first mode. For example, when the first mode and the common application are in a private mode and a telephone directory, respectively, the mobile terminal 100 may display a list of caller information that includes the caller's information associated with the private mode or specific information. the partner, including a data field that corresponds to the private mode.

In the following description, a mode implemented when the OS is started by a type of multi-SO (see Figures 4A to 4C) is explained with reference to Figure 12A and Figure 12B.

Figure 12A and Figure 12B are flowcharts of a process in order to switch one mode by type in multiple operating systems according to the present invention. In particular, Figure 12A corresponds to a first type of multi-SO (for example, including Host OS 1 and Host OS 2: This type corresponds to a first scheme). Additionally, Figure 12B may correspond to a second type of multi-SO (for example, Host OS and Host OS: This type corresponds to a second scheme.). It is assumed that OS 1 and

50 Host correspond to a private mode. Additionally, it is assumed that the Hosted OS 2 and Hosted OS correspond to a business mode.

Referring to Figure 12A, if the hypervisor included in the controller 180 is managed (S1201), the mobile terminal 100 can start the Hosted OS 1 and Hosted OS 2 simultaneously or sequentially (S1202, S1203).

According to how the hypervisor is managed, the mobile terminal 100 allows the controllers (drivers) of the virtual devices of the Host OS 1 and the Host OS 2 to interact with physical controllers as a preparation operation for hardware control (S1204 ) and performs an isolation operation of the shared virtual device drivers (S1205).

51 one specific mode between a private mode and an enterprise mode is selected by a user or controller 180 (S1206), the mobile terminal 100 activates the specific mode in the Host OS corresponding to the specific mode selected and then executes the applications (Private_private mode, company_Company mode) in activated mode (sequential execution from S1207 to S1209 or sequential execution from S1212 to S1214).

Meanwhile, when step S1206 of specific mode selection is omitted, the mobile terminal 10o can activate the private mode using the Host OS 1 designated by default (S1207 to S1209).

Referring to Figure 12B, mobile terminal 100 preferentially starts up the Host OS corresponding to the private mode (S1251) and can then load the Host OS corresponding to the enterprise mode (S1253), under the control of controller 180 .

The mobile terminal 100 activates the private mode in the Host OS and then can execute the applications in the private mode (sequential execution of step S1254 to S1256). When the Host OS preloaded by the hypervisor has been launched (S1257), the mobile terminal 100 activates the enterprise mode in the Host operating system and then can run the applications in the enterprise mode (sequential execution of steps S1259 through S1261).

Meanwhile, when after loading the Host OS, if the hypervisor is driven in order to load the Host OS (S1257), the mobile terminal 100 can subsequently load the Host OS (S1258).

In this way, when the host operating system is preloaded, an initial startup of the OS takes considerable time. However, because two operating systems are already in operation after completion of commissioning, a mode switching can be performed quickly. When a subsequent loading of the guest operating system is carried out, an initial operating system of commissioning is carried out quickly. However, when a current mode is switched to a mode that corresponds to the host operating system, it may take considerable time for the switching of a mode due to the time consumed attributed to the commissioning of the host operating system.

The process of loading the OS is described in detail below. First, the terminal

mobile 100 downloads an application that corresponds to the guest operating system from a server in order to manage and provide the applications, runs the downloaded application and then can load the guest operating system. Subsequently, according to the operation of the loaded guest operating system, the mobile terminal 100 can execute the corresponding applications using the host operating system.

Referring now to Figure 11, in the activation step S1110, the mobile terminal 100 can activate the first mode or the second mode according to a user selection or a prescribed reference when an operating system is started up, under the control of controller 180.

For example, when it is a single operating system, any of the first and second modes can be activated according to the single operating system startup. For another case, when it comes to the multi-SO, a mode selected by a user of the first and second mode or a first start-up has been terminated, one of the first mode and the second mode is activated according to the simultaneous start-up of the multi-SOs or a mode that corresponds to the operating system preferably started up, according to the sequential start-up of the multi-SOs, can be activated.

In particular, when it comes to the sequential start-up of the multi-SOs, the mobile terminal 100 can preferably start the OS, which fulfills a prescribed condition, under the control of the controller 180. For example, the controller 180 can , preferably, start up the operating system that meets one of the conditions such as an OS that has a preferential order of commissioning, an OS designated by a user in order to be started preferentially and an OS that supports a mode that corresponds to a current terminal status. The mode corresponding to the current terminal status will be explained in detail in the following description.

Referring now to Figure 11, the mobile terminal 100 detects a signal for a mode switching in the activated state of the first mode under the control of controller 180 (S1120). In particular, the controller 180 may also include separate components configured in order to detect a generation of the signal for mode switching or may include different components from each other according to the types of signals.

For example, the signal for mode switching can be generated in at least one of a case of an input of an order signal for mode switching, when a location of a current terminal belongs to a specific location, which corresponds to the second mode, when a current time belongs to a specific time corresponding to the second mode, a case of data transceived with a terminal of the correspondent corresponding to the second mode and a case of an access to a specific network corresponding to the second mode. On the other hand, when there is a plurality of destination modes for switching, the signal for mode switching can be discriminated for each of a plurality of destination modes for switching. For example, the designation information in the destination mode for the switching is included in the order signal for the switching of the mode or in the corresponding place, with the corresponding time, with the corresponding partner terminal and with the corresponding Corresponding network may be designated for each destination mode for switching to the order signal for mode switching in a discriminated manner.

When a signal is detected for the purpose of a mode switching, the mobile terminal 100 may not switch to a second mode (Case 1) or it may switch to the second mode (Case 2). In the following description, Case 1 and Case 2 are described separately.

First of all, Case 1 (that is, there is no switching to the second mode) is described in detail below.

First, while a signal for a mode switching is detected, if the mobile terminal 100 does not change to the second mode (not in step S1130), the mobile terminal restricts an execution of the function of a specific one from among less one or more applications executable in the first mode under the control of controller 180 (S1140).

In the event that the controller 180 fails to receive an entry from an order for mode switching from a user or that it performs an authentication procedure in a valid manner (e.g., applicable to when an authentication procedure is required for switching to the second mode), controller 180 may not be able to switch to the second mode despite the detection of the signal for switching to the second mode.

This is described in detail with reference to Figures 13A at 13 C as follows. For the purpose of greater clarity and comfort of the following description, it is assumed that a first mode or a second mode is a private mode or a business mode.

Referring to Figure 13A, when a signal is detected for the purpose of switching to a private mode in an activated state of a business mode, mobile terminal 100 may display a window 1310 in order to allow a user to select whether You want to switch to private mode (see Figure 13A (a)).

In this case, the signal for switching to the private mode can be generated in one of them when a current terminal location belongs to a designated place in order to activate the private mode, when a current time belongs to a designated time with the In order to activate private mode, when a terminal currently has access to a network designated for private mode and the like. On the other hand, the signal for switching to private mode can be generated, when a current terminal state is not able to satisfy an activated state for enterprise mode (for example, when the terminal leaves a designated place for the purpose of activate company mode, etc.).

On the contrary, when a signal is detected in order to switch to an enterprise mode in a privately activated state, the mobile terminal 100 may display a window 1310 in order to allow a user to select whether he wishes to switch to company mode (see Figure 13A (b)).

In this case, the signal for switching to the business mode can be generated in one of the two, when a current location of the terminal belongs to a designated place (for example, a company, etc.) in order to activate the business mode. company, when a current time belongs to a time (for example, working hours, etc.) designated in order to activate the company mode, when a terminal currently accesses a network (for example, the company's intra-network , etc.) designated in the manner of the company and the like. On the other hand, the signal for switching to private mode can be generated when a current terminal state is not able to comply with a privately activated state (for example, when the terminal leaves a designated place in order to activate the private mode, etc.), the signal for switching to private mode can be generated.

When a selection of a rejection for mode switching (rejection) is received from the user in Figure 13A (a) or in Figure 13A (b), controller 180 may not switch in a current mode to private mode or to Company mode

Referring to Figure 13B, when the signal is detected for switching to enterprise mode in the privately activated state, mobile terminal 100 may request an execution of the authentication procedure (see Figure 13B (a)). If the corresponding authentication procedure is not performed in a valid way (for example, a user authentication information is not entered or is not entered or a valid user authentication information is not entered, etc.), the mobile terminal 100 You may not switch private mode to enterprise mode.

Referring to Figure 13, if mobile terminal 100 does not switch to private mode despite the detection of the signal for switching to private mode (ie, an example of the second mode), mobile terminal 100 may display a window of warning in order to lead to switching to private mode using display unit 151, under the control of controller 180.

For example, a text can be included in the announcement window in order to request a user to switch to private mode, an order key (or zone) for switching to private mode, a warning text in order to announce that an execution of an application may be partially restricted in the case of absence of switching to private mode and / or the like.

The ad window can be displayed at a random time point or periodically. Additionally, a sample time point or cycle of the advertisement window is determined randomly by the controller or can be determined according to a user selection.

Referring now to Figure 11, in the restriction step S1140, the controller 180 informs a user of a specific application, of which a function of the execution is restricted, by means of the display unit 151. Alternatively, the controller 180 may or it may not identifiably show a specific application, of which the execution function is restricted in a displayed state of an application indicator, using display unit 151.

This is described in detail with reference to Figures 14A to 14 D as follows.

Referring to Figure 14A, when a company mode is kept activated instead of switching to a private mode, when it is forbidden to run an application dedicated to a company mode between applications executable in the company mode, the mobile terminal 100 provides a list of dedicated applications that are prohibited from running (see Figure 14A (a)). Alternatively, the mobile terminal 100 makes it blurred to display the indicators for the dedicated application 1404, 1406, 1407 and 1408 between a plurality of application indicators 1401 to 1409 indicating the executable applications in the enterprise mode or can display the indicators of the dedicated application 1404 , 1406, 1407 and 1408 in a way that indicates that the indicators of dedicated applications 1404, 1406, 1407 and 1408 are in an invalid or non-selectable state (see Figure 14A (b)).

Referring to Figure 14B, when a private mode is maintained in an activated state instead of switching to an enterprise mode, when it is forbidden to run an application dedicated to a private mode between applications executable in private mode, mobile terminal 100 provides a list of dedicated applications that this

forbidden to execute (see figure 14B (a)). Alternatively, the mobile terminal 100 makes it blurred to display the dedicated application indicators 1414, 1416, 1417 and 1418 among a plurality of the application indicators 1411 to 1419 indicating the executable applications in private mode or can display the dedicated application indicators 1414 , 1416, 1417 and 1418 in a way that indicates that the dedicated application indicators 1414, 1416, 1417 and 1418 are in an invalid or non-selectable state (see Figure 14B (b)).

In addition, you can provide a list of applications that differ from each other depending on the application according to the mode, the content configuration according to the mode or the data configuration according to the mode or can display identifiably an application indicator indicating the same.

Referring to Figure 14, when the status of the activated business mode is maintained instead of switching to the private mode, the mobile terminal 100 does not display the indicators of the dedicated applications 1404, 1406, 1407 and 1408 indicating the applications of the business mode. company in all (see figure 14C (a)). On the contrary, when the state is kept in private mode activated instead of switching to enterprise mode, mobile terminal 100 does not display the dedicated application indicators 1414, 1416, 1417 and 1418 indicating the applications dedicated privately in all (see Figure 14C (b)).

Referring to Figure 14, when the enterprise mode is kept in the activated state instead of switching to the private mode and vice versa, the mobile terminal 100 can execute a basic application in order to perform a basic terminal operation between the executable applications in the business mode and can then indicate the basic application indicators 1401 to 1403 respectively, indicating only the basic applications.

For example, basic applications may include a telephone directory, a voice call, a message and the like. Of course, basic applications are determined randomly by controller 180 or can be determined according to a user selection.

Referring now to Figure 11, in restriction step S1140, controller 180 prohibits executing a specific application if the specific application has a restricted function of executing only in the first mode (Case 1). Alternatively, if a specific application is an application executable in both the first mode and the second mode, the mobile terminal 100 allows operation of the specific application but places a restriction on the information provided in accordance with the execution (Case 2). Specifically, in association with Case 1, mobile terminal 100 may disable a module related to the specific application being executed. For example, for the private mode, the disabled module may include one among, a camera module and the like. For the enterprise mode, the disabled mode may include one of them, a printer module and the like.

In the restriction step S1140, the mobile terminal 100 may prohibit the operation of the rest of the applications except a basic application in order to support a basic operation of the terminal between at least one or more applications executable in the first mode under control. of controller 180 (see figure 14).

This is described as follows in detail with reference to Figures 15A to 15F.

Referring to Figure 15A, when the enterprise mode is kept in the activated state instead of switching to the private mode, the mobile terminal 100 can receive an input from a selection action 1) for a print indicator 1406 (i.e. example of a dedicated application indicator) or a selection action 2) for a telephone directory indicator 1401 (ie, an example of a common application) from a user.

Referring to Figure 15B, upon receipt of the selection action 1) in Figure 15A, the mobile terminal 100 may display a window in order to announce that the 'print' application indicated by the print indicator 1406 is the Dedicated application of enterprise mode and is not executable.

Referring to figure 15, when the selection action 2) is received in figure 15A, the mobile terminal executes the "telephone directory" application indicated by the telephone directory indicator 1401 and then provides information of the private partner selected from the party information of the interlocutor, which includes an information of the interlocutor (hereinafter referred to in this document as information of the private interlocutor) associated with the private mode and information of the interlocutor (hereinafter referred to as information in this document) of the business partner) associated with the business mode, only (see Figure 15C (a)). When specific information of the partner is provided, the mobile terminal 100 may not provide information (for example, a business contact information, an email address, an approval authority, a class of someone's position, a department , etc.) that corresponds to a data field included in the company only among the data fields that configure the specific information of the interlocutor.

On the other hand, in figure 15C, you can provide information from the interlocutor in which a conditional access or a security level is not established (see figure 15C (a)). Additionally, you may be able to provide information that corresponds to a data field, in which access is not established

conditional or a security level, in the specific information of the interlocutor (see figure 15 (b)).

Referring to Figure 15D, when the private mode is maintained in the activated state instead of switching to the enterprise mode, the mobile terminal 100 can receive from an user an input of an action of a selection 1) for the camera indicator 1414 (that is, an example of an indicator of a dedicated application) or an input of a selection action 2) (that is, an example of an indicator of a common application) for the activity calendar management indicator 1419.

Referring to Figure 15E, when the action of selection 1) in Figure 15D, the mobile terminal 100 may display a window to announce that the "camera" application indicated by the camera indicator 1414 is the dedicated private mode application. And it is not executable.

Referring to figure 15F, when the selection action 2) is received in figure 15D, according to how mobile terminal 100 executes the application "calendar of activities calendar" indicated by the calendar management indicator of activities 1419, You can provide a calendar of activities that can be provided in private mode only (see Figure 15F (a)) or you can provide a calendar of specific activities that corresponds to private mode. On the other hand, in Figure 15F, a calendar of activities, in which conditional access or a security level is established, may not be provided between the calendars of activities provided in private mode (see Figure 15F (a ) or information that corresponds to a data field, in which conditional access or a security level is established, may not be provided between the data fields that configure the calendar of specific activities (see Figure 15F ( b)).

Referring now to Figure 11, in restriction step S1140, if the mobile terminal 100 executes an application at a specific point of failure time to switch to the second mode, the mobile terminal 100 terminates the operation of the specific application if the application Specific is the application that can be executed only in the first mode (Case 1). Alternatively, if the specific application is the application that can be executed in both the first mode and the second mode, the mobile terminal 100 maintains the execution of the first mode but can restrict information according to the execution of which it is provided ( Case 2).

This is described as follows with reference to Figures 16A through 16 C.

Referring to Figure 16A, while executing a dedicated application for “document search / reading” in an activated state of enterprise mode (see Figure 16A (a)), if the activated state of enterprise mode is maintained in Instead of switching to a private mode, mobile terminal 100 may terminate the "documented search / read" by announcing that there is no use authority for "documented search / read" (see Figure 16A (b)).

In this way, the document provided through the "search / read of documented" can be provided by the company server 300. In this case, although the "search / read of documented" is not a dedicated application, if the "Document search / read" is terminated (1) or conditional access or security level is established in a document between documents provided by the company server 300 (2), search and document reading may be restricted correspondent.

In this way, while the broadcast or search of a content provided by the enterprise server 300 in the enterprise mode (or the execution of an application associated with the content), if the activated state of the enterprise mode is maintained in Instead of switching to private mode, as access to company server 300 is disconnected, any content is not provided from the company server. Alternatively, a content, in which conditional access or a security level is not established, can be provided in a limited manner from the server of the company 300.

Referring to figure 16B, while the common application “calendar management of activities” is executed in the activated state of company mode (see figure 16B (a)), if the activated state of the company mode is maintained in Instead of switching to private mode, mobile terminal 100 can provide calendars of private activities between calendars of private activities and calendars of company activities, which can only be provided in company mode (see Figure 16B (b)). In this way, the calendar of activities can be provided, in which the level of security or conditional access is not established, between the calendars of the company's activities along with the calendar of private activities. Additionally, the calendar of activities, in which the level of security or conditional access, between the calendars of private activities, may not be provided.

Referring to figure 16, while the dedicated “camera” application is running in the activated state in private mode (see figure 16C (a)), if the activated state of private mode is maintained instead of switching to enterprise mode , the mobile terminal 100 can terminate the "camera". In this case, an operation of a camera mode required to execute the "camera" can be terminated as soon as the "camera" is terminated.

In the following description, the case (2) for switching to the second mode is explained in detail.

First, when switching to the second mode according to the signal detection for mode switching (Yes, in step S1130), mobile terminal 100 activates the second mode under the control of controller 180 (S1150). In this way, the first mode can be deactivated.

On the other hand, when trying to switch to the second mode, the mobile terminal 100 can perform an authentication procedure for the second mode. If the authentication procedure is carried out in a valid way, the mobile terminal can successfully switch to the second mode. For example, if the authentication procedure is successful, this may mean the following. First, a user authentication information is entered by a user. Secondly, it is determined if the user authentication information entered is valid. Finally, the user authentication information entered must be valid as a result of the determination.

When the signal for mode switching is detected, mobile terminal 100 can determine if conditional access is established in the second mode in order to switch to (1) or if a security level is established in the second mode is more higher than a security level set in the first mode (2), under the control of controller 180. For example, if the first mode is set to private mode and the mode to be switched is the enterprise mode, controller 180 can determine that conditional access is established in the business mode or that the security level set in the business mode is higher.

On the other hand, if the conditional access is established in the second mode or the security level higher than that of the first mode is set in the second mode, the controller 180 may perform the authentication procedure for the second mode.

Meanwhile, the user authentication information entered includes the user authentication information set to be dedicated to the second mode or the user authentication information necessary in common for the mode switching instead of being limited by the second mode.

On the other hand, user authentication information may be set differently according to the conditional access level (or security level) of the second mode. For example, when the level of conditional access is high, the information for user authentication can become complicated. For another example, when the level of conditional access is low, the information for user authentication can become simple.

When the second mode is entered several times, the controller 180 may request a different user authentication information for each entry and then may receive an entry of a user authentication information at the time point of the corresponding entry in the second mode. .

When the authentication procedure for switching (or entry) for the second mode has been successfully completed, another authentication procedure may be omitted when there is a re-switching (or re-entry) to the second mode. For example, when a re-commutation for a certain period of time (eg, hours of work, one day, one week, etc.), the corresponding authentication procedure can be omitted. For another case, when there is a re-switching for a period from terminal on to terminal off, the authentication procedure can be omitted. On the other hand, even if the second mode is in the activated state, you can request the execution of the authentication procedure in a predetermined time cycle. This is to maintain the activated state of the second mode.

Controller 180 can determine a conditional access level in the second mode. For example, a prescribed level of between a plurality of conditional access levels may be established in the second mode. According to the level of conditional access established in the second mode, a usable application (or content / data) may differ and a range of authority of use for the application may vary.

On the other hand, when the signal for the mode switching is detected, the mobile terminal 100 emits an indication information for the mode switching through the emitting unit 150 under the control of the controller 180. When an action is received from order for mode switching via user input unit 130, mobile terminal 100 can switch the first mode to the second mode control under the control of controller 180.

For example, the indication information for the mode switching may include information indicating a state that a mode switching has been currently requested and information that allows a user to select a mode switching. The indication information for the mode switching can be issued in various ways, using a text, an image, a voice, a vibration, an alarm sound and the like. Additionally, the action of the order for mode switching is introduced by manipulating a zone / key / button in order to receive an input of an order for mode switching or it can be introduced when a voice has been detected, a terminal movement (for example, an inclination in a predetermined direction, a predetermined number of tremors, etc.) or the like.

Meanwhile, the indication information for the mode switching can be stopped by being issued if the order action for the mode switching is not entered by a user for a predetermined period of time.

The step that activates the second mode S1150 may refer to the description of the activation step of the first mode S1110.

In the activation step S1150, if the common application is activated, the mobile terminal 100 can execute the common application according to the characteristic corresponding to the second mode. For example, if the first mode is the business mode and the common application is the management of the activity calendar, the mobile terminal 100 shows the list of the activity calendar including the activity calendars related to the business mode or can display a specific activity calendar that includes the data field (s) that correspond to the company mode.

In the following description, a mode switching in a multi-SO environment is explained with reference to Figure 12A and Figure 12B.

Figure 12A and Figure 12B are flow charts of a process for switching a mode according to the type in multiple operating systems according to the present invention.

Referring to Figure 12A, while the private mode or the company mode is activated, if an order signal is detected for the mode switching (S1210 or S1215), the mobile terminal 100 activates the company mode leading to the hypervisor for Host OS 2 (the execution of step S1211 and the steps following step S1211) or you can activate the private mode by driving to the hypervisor for Host OS 1 (the execution of step S1216 and the steps following step S1216).

Referring to Figure 12B, while the private mode or the company mode is activated, if an order signal is detected for the mode switching (S1262 or S1263), the mobile terminal activates the company mode or the private mode.

In particular, referring to Figure 12A or Figure 12B, when the enterprise mode is switched to private mode, if there is an application previously executed in private mode, the mobile terminal 100 may enter the executed state S1209 or S1256 of the previously executed application. If there is no previously executed application in private mode, mobile terminal 100 may enter the Start S1207 state of the Host OS 1 or the Start S1254 state of the host operating system. This is applicable to switching to enterprise mode from private mode.

When the second mode previously switched in the step of S1130 is switched again to the first mode which is the mode prior to the mode switching (that is, when returning to the previous mode), if a specific application is being executed in the first mode Before switching to the second mode, according to how the second mode is re-switched to the first mode, the controller 180 is able to re-execute the specific application (according to the selection of a user or automatically). In this way, a screen executed of the specific application may include a general initial screen according to a specific application execution or a screen executed at the time off point due to switching to the second mode.

In the following description, when an input of a command signal is received for mode switching from a user as a specific event in order to generate a signal for a mode switching, a corresponding process for mode switching is explained. with reference to figures 17A to 18 D. For the purpose of clarity and comfort of the following description, it is assumed that a first mode and a second mode are a private mode and a business mode, respectively.

Referring to Fig. 17A, while a private mode is activated, if a user selects a zone for switching 503, mobile terminal 100 may receive an input of a command signal for mode switching for a switching to a business mode (see Figure 17A (a)). On the contrary, while an enterprise mode is activated, if a user selects the zone for switching 503, mobile terminal 100 can receive an input from a command signal for a mode switching for a switching to a private mode ( see figure 17A (b)).

Referring to Figure 17B, while a private mode is activated, if a touch is received and dragged to a P 511 zone from a B 512 zone of an order key for mode switching of 510, mobile terminal 100 can receive a control signal for mode switching in order to switch to an enterprise mode (see Figure 17B (a)). On the contrary, while an enterprise mode is activated, if a touch and drag is received from a zone P 511 to a zone B 512 of an order key for mode switching 510, the mobile terminal 100 can receive a signal command for mode switching to switch to a private mode (see Figure 17B (b)).

In Figure 17B (a), when a touch action is received in zone B 512, a control signal can be introduced for switching to the enterprise mode. In Fig. 17B (b), when a touch action is received in the area of P 511, a command signal can be introduced for the mode switching for a switching to the private mode.

Referring to Fig. 17, while a private mode is activated, if a touch and drag action is introduced from an enterprise mode zone 522 to an order zone for switching 523, the mobile terminal 100 can receive an input from an order signal for mode switching in order to switch to an enterprise mode (see Figure 17C (a)). On the contrary, while an enterprise mode is activated, if a touch and drag action is introduced from a private mode zone 521 to an order zone for switching 523, the mobile terminal 100 can receive an input from a signal command for mode switching to switch to a private mode (see Figure 17C (b)).

In Fig. 17C (a), when an input of a touch action is received in the enterprise mode zone 522, the mobile terminal 100 can receive an order signal for the mode switching in order to switch to the mode of operation. company. In Fig. 17C (b), when an input of a touch action is received in the private mode zone 521, the mobile terminal 100 can receive a command signal for the mode switching in order to switch to the private mode.

Referring to Figure 17, while a private mode is activated, when the terminal detects a 1-time shake or receives an input of a one-touch action and drag 2 in a clockwise direction using a multiple pointer, the terminal mobile 100 can receive an input of an order signal for mode switching in order to switch to an enterprise mode (see Figure 17D (a)). When the terminal detects a shake of 2 times 1 or receives an input of a touch and drag action 2 in a left direction using a multiple pointer, the mobile terminal 100 can receive an input of a command signal for the switching of mode in order to switch to private mode (see Figure 17D (b)).

On the other hand, in Figures 17A to 17 D, the mobile terminal 100 may issue a text 1710 or 1720 indicating the mode switching. Of course, in order to indicate the mode switching, a voice, an image, an icon, a vibration, a bell sound, a lamp and / or the like can be emitted in a variable manner.

Referring to Figure 17E, while a private mode (or a company mode) is activated, when an input of a touch and drag action of a pinch type is received from a user (a), the mobile terminal 100 performs the partition of the screen in a first region 1731 and in a second region 1732 and then shows a home screen corresponding to the private mode and a home screen corresponding to the business mode in the first region 1731 and the second region 1732, respectively (b).

When a touch action 1 is received on a prescribed point of the second region 1732 or a touch and drag action 2 from a prescribed point of the second region 1732 to a prescribed point of the first region 1731 in Figure 17E (b) , the mobile terminal 100 can receive an input from a command signal for mode switching in order to switch to enterprise mode. .

Referring to Figure 18A, assuming that there are a plurality of business modes (for example, business modes from first to third), when an input of a user touch action is received in an area for switching 503 while it is activated a private mode, the mobile terminal 100 shows the first to the third images 1801 to 1803, corresponding respectively to the company modes from the first to the third (see Figure 18A (a)) or can show the first drag directions to third 1811 to 1813 respectively that correspond from the first to the third business modes (see Figure 18A (b)). For example, images from the first to third 1801 to 1803 may include an image of the home screen of the corresponding business mode, a wallpaper image and the like.

If the first image 1801 is selected in Figure 18A (a), the mobile terminal 100 receives an input from a command signal for mode switching in order to switch to the first enterprise mode. When an input of a touch and drag action is received in the second drag direction 1812 in Figure 18A (b), the mobile terminal 100 can receive an input of a command signal for mode switching in order to switch to the second mode of business.

Referring to Figure 18B, while the private mode (or company mode) is activated, when an input of a user touch action is received in the zone for switching 503, the mobile terminal 100 can display the images of 1821 to 1823 respectively corresponding to a plurality of business modes and images from 1831 to 1833 respectively corresponding respectively to a plurality of private modes in region 1820 and region 1830..

In the event that a user selects the image 1821 corresponding to the first business mode, the mobile terminal 100 may receive an introduction of an order signal for the mode switching for a switching to the first business mode.

Although the case of receiving the order signal input for mode switching using the zone for switching 503 is described only with reference to Figure 18 and Figure 18B, the corresponding description is applicable to a use case. of an order key for switching 510 or a mode zone 521 or 522.

Referring to Figure 18, while a screen is locked (i.e., in a screen lock state), the mobile terminal 100 partitioned the screen into a first zone 1840 and a second zone 1850 and then can display information about an event that occurs in association with a private mode and information about an event that occurs respectively in association with a business mode in the first region 1840 and the second region 1850. In particular, mobile terminal 100 may, identifiably, show a mode indicator 501 corresponding to a private mode currently activated.

When an input of a touch and drag action is received to the second region 1850, the mobile terminal 100 can receive an input of an order signal for the mode switching for a switching to the enterprise mode.

Referring to Figure 18, when a plurality of private modes and a plurality of business modes are configured, mobile terminal 100 realizes the partitions on the screen in regions 1860 to 1890 that are equivalent to the total number of modes in the state of the screen locked and can then display the indicators so that they correspond 1861 to 1891 in regions 1860 to 1890, respectively. In particular, mobile terminal 100 can, identifiably, display mode indicator 1861 corresponding to the first private mode currently activated. Additionally, the mobile terminal 100 may also display the information (for example, the type of event, the amount of events, the time of occurrence, etc.) in an event that occurs in association with the corresponding mode in each of the regions 1860 to 1890.

When you receive a touch action from a user in the mode indicator 1881 that corresponds to the first company mode (1) or a touch and drag action to the zone 1880 that corresponds to the first company mode (2), the mobile terminal 100 can receive an input of an order signal for the mode switching for a switching to the first business mode.

Therefore, when the input of the mode switching order signal is received, as shown in Figure 17A at 18 D, the mobile terminal 100 detects the signal for the mode switching and can then perform the operation for the mode switching of the switching mode corresponding to the command signal entered for the switching mode.

In the meantime, one type of input of the command signal can be varied for the switching of the mode corresponding to each one, the private mode and the enterprise mode. If there are a plurality of private modes (or company modes), an input type of a command signal for mode switching according to the private mode can be varied. For example, in order to perform the switch to private mode, a 2-fold shake of the terminal, a touch and drag in a left direction, a forward tilt of the terminal or the like can be introduced. For another case, in order to perform the switching to the enterprise mode, a 1-time shake of the terminal, a touch and drag in the right direction, an inclination towards the back of the terminal or the like can be introduced. For another example, in order to make the switch to the first private mode, a 1-time terminal shake can be introduced. For another example, in order to make the switch to the second private mode, a 2-fold terminal shake can be introduced. For another additional example, in order to switch to the third private mode, a 3-fold terminal shake can be introduced.

The embodiments described above are only examples for the purpose of entering the order signal for the mode switching, by which a scheme for entering the order signal for the mode switching is not limited.

In the following description, when the mobile terminal 100 is located in a specific place such as for a specific event to generate a signal for the purpose of a mode switching, a process for the mode switching with the reference to Figures 19A to 19D. For the purpose of greater clarity and comfort of the following description, it is assumed that a first mode and a second mode are a private mode (the P mode) and an enterprise mode (the B mode), respectively.

Figures 19A to 19D are diagrams of a process for mode switching when located in a specific place according to the present invention.

Referring to Figure 19A, while a private mode is activated, if the mobile terminal 100 is located in a place (for example, in a company or office) that corresponds to a company mode or within a predetermined radius that has as its center in the corresponding place, the mobile terminal 100 allows the user to select if he wishes to make a switch to the enterprise mode (see Figure 19A (a)). Alternatively, mobile terminal 100 automatically switches private mode to enterprise mode without the reference of a

presence or absence of a user's selection and then can issue an indication information for the commutation that indicates the commutation to the enterprise mode (see Figure 19A (b)).

Referring to Figure 19B, when leaving the place corresponding to the mode of the company or the pre-determined radius of the corresponding place (that is, the example of a termination case of a terminal operation generating the signal for mode switching ), the mobile terminal 100 switches the business mode to private mode according to the user's selection (see Figure 19B (a)) or can automatically switch the business mode to private mode regardless of the user's selection (see Figure 19B (b)).

In particular, in the case shown in Figure 19A (a) of Figure 19A (b), the mobile terminal 100 can switch a current mode to the company mode or to the private mode only if the user selects "Yes (in the switch)".

Referring to Figure 19, the mobile terminal 100 can establish at least one place corresponding to the private mode according to the selection of a user (see Figure 19C (a)). While the business mode is activated, if the mobile terminal 100 is located in the established place, the mobile terminal 100 can switch the business mode to the private mode (see Figure 19C (b)).

Referring to Figure 19D, the mobile terminal 100 may establish at least one place corresponding to the business mode according to a user selection (see Figure 19D (a)). While private mode is activated, if mobile terminal 100 is located in the established location, mobile terminal 100 can switch private mode to enterprise mode (see Figure 19D (b)).

Meanwhile, the mobile terminal 100 analyzes a pattern of use of the mode for the place, determines an implementation time of the private mode / enterprise mode for the place for a certain period of time according to the pattern analyzed and then can designate the private mode or business mode. Therefore, when the mobile terminal 100 is located at the specific location, the mobile terminal 100 enters the mode designated for the specific location. Alternatively, if another mode is being executed, the mobile terminal 100 can switch the currently executed mode to the mode designated for the specific location.

In the following description, when a current time belongs to a specific time such as a specific event of generating a signal for mode switching, a process for mode switching is explained with reference to Figures 20A to 20D. For the purpose of greater clarity and convenience of the following description, it is assumed that a first mode and a second mode are a private mode (the P mode) and an enterprise mode (the B mode), respectively.

Figures 20A to 20D are diagrams of a process for a mode switching when it belongs to a specific time in accordance with the present invention.

Referring to Figure 20A, while a private mode is activated, if a current time belongs to a time (for example, service time: 09:00 AM to 6:00 PM) corresponding to a company mode, the mobile terminal 100 allows a user to select either to execute a switch to enterprise mode (see Figure 20A (a)). Alternatively, the mobile terminal 100 automatically switches the private mode to the business mode regardless of a presence or non-presence of a user selection and can then issue an indication information for the switching indicating the switching to the business mode (see Figure 20A (b)).

Referring to Figure 20B, when the current time deviates from the time that corresponds to the enterprise mode (ie the termination time of an operation of the terminal generating the signal for the mode switching), the mobile terminal 100 switches the mode from company to private mode according to a selection of a user (see figure 20B (a)) or can automatically switch the company mode to private mode regardless of user selection (see figure 20B (b)) .

In particular, in the case shown in Figure 20A (a) of Figure 20A (b), the mobile terminal 100 can switch a current mode to the enterprise mode or to the private mode only if the user selects "Sf (en the switch)".

Referring to Figure 20C, the mobile terminal 100 can set at least one time corresponding to the private mode according to a user selection (see Figure 20C (a)). While the business mode is activated, if the current time belongs to the set time, the mobile terminal 100 can switch the business mode to the private mode (see Figure 20C (b)).

Referring to Figure 20D, the mobile terminal 100 may establish at least one time corresponding to the business mode according to a user selection (see Figure 20D (a)). While the private mode is activated, if the current time belongs to the set time, the mobile terminal 100 can switch the private mode to the enterprise mode (see Figure 20D (b)).

Meanwhile, mobile terminal 100 analyzes a mode of use pattern by time zone, determines a time zone implementation of the private mode / enterprise mode for a given period of time according to the pattern analyzed and can then designate the private mode or company mode. Therefore, when a current time belongs to a specific time zone, mobile terminal 100 enters the designated mode for the specific time zone. Alternatively, if another mode is being executed, the mobile terminal 100 can switch the mode currently executed to the mode designated for the specific time zone.

On the other hand, the mobile terminal 100 may not carry out the mode switching using the specific place or time as on a non-working day such as Saturday, Sunday, on holidays and the like. In addition, mobile terminal 100 may change a time zone that corresponds to a specific mode in order to adapt to a time zone of a country or area where it is currently located.

In the following description, when a specific network is accessed as a specific event of generating a signal for mode switching, a process for mode switching is explained with reference to Figure 21A and Figure 21B. For the purpose of clarity and convenience of the following description, it is assumed that a first mode and a second mode are a private mode (the P mode) and an enterprise mode (the B mode), respectively.

Figure 21A and Figure 21B are diagrams of a process for mode switching when accessing a specific network in accordance with the present invention.

Referring to Figure 21A, while a private mode is activated, if the mobile terminal 100 accesses a network corresponding to a business mode, the mobile terminal 100 can switch the private mode to the business mode (see Figure 21A ( to)). If the mobile terminal 100 is released from the access to the network corresponding to the enterprise mode (ie, an example of termination of a signal generation terminal operation for mode switching), the mobile terminal 100 can switch the business mode to private mode automatically or according to the selection of a user (see Figure 21A (b)).

The description above is applicable when accessing a network that corresponds to a private mode in an activated state of a business mode. A network by company mode / private mode is designated according to a user's selection.

Alternatively, a company network and a home network can be automatically designated as a network for business mode / private mode.

Referring to Figure 21B, while the private mode is activated, if one hour of attending the office is registered with an in-house registration server, mobile terminal 100 can switch the private mode to the company mode according with the selection of a user or automatically (see Figure 21B (a)). If the time to leave the office is registered, the mobile terminal 100 can switch the business mode to the private mode according to the selection of a user or automatically (see Figure 21B (b)).

In the following description, when data from a specific terminal of a partner is received as a specific event of generating a signal for the switching of a mode, a process for the switching of mode is explained with reference to Figures 22A to 23B . In the following description, when a data is transmitted to a specific terminal of the interlocutor as a specific event of the generation of a signal for mode switching, a process for mode switching is explained with reference to Figures 24a to 25B. For the purpose of greater clarity and comfort of the following description, it is assumed that a first mode and a second mode are a private mode (the P mode) and an enterprise mode (the B mode), respectively.

In this case, the data may include such data of any type that can be received from the partner's terminal, such as a message, an audio call, a video call, an email and the like.

Additionally, the signal for mode switching may include information about a specific application executable in a second mode to which the current mode will be switched. In particular, the information about the application may include an information of the correspondent corresponding to the terminal of the interlocutor or a type of data transmitted with the terminal of the interlocutor.

For example, the caller's information may include one of them, an email address (the specific application: email, etc.), a telephone directory (the specific application: the message, the audio call, the call from video, etc.), a user identification registered in the instant messaging service (the specific application: the instant messaging service, etc.) and the like. Additionally, the type of data may include one of an email, a message, an audio call, a video call, a conversation through instant messaging service and the like.

Therefore, when information about the specific application is included in the signal for mode switching, the controller 180 can execute the specific application while switching the first mode to the second mode.

mode.

The caller's terminal corresponding to the private mode or the business mode may include a terminal which the caller's information is stored (for example, the phone number, mobile phone number, email address, etc.) in the telephone directory in association with the private mode or the business mode. On the other hand, an interlocutor information can be designated in a different interlocutor for the private mode or the business mode. Additionally, different information from the partner (for example, a different email address, a different phone number, etc.) in the same partner can be designated for the private mode / company mode.

Figures 22A to 23B are diagrams of a process for mode switching when data is received from a terminal of a specific partner according to the present invention. In addition, Figures 24A to 25B are diagrams of a process for mode switching when the data is transmitted to a terminal of a specific interlocutor in accordance with the present invention.

Referring to figure 22A, while a private mode is activated, when an email is received from a terminal of a correspondent that corresponds to a business mode, the mobile terminal is able to switch the private mode to the business mode automatically or according to the selection of a user (see figure 22A (a)). Depending on how the private mode is switched to the business mode, the mobile terminal 100 executes an email application in order to check the substance of the received email (see Figure 22A (b)). In this case, the received email has the data structure shown in Figure 26A and may include a field (From) 2601 indicating a side terminal information being transmitted and a field (A) 2602 indicating a terminal information side that is receiving. Therefore, the mobile terminal 100 can check the partner terminal corresponding to the business mode using the partner terminal information included in the (From) field 2601.

Referring to Figure 22B, if the email check received has been completed, the mobile terminal 100 can switch the business mode to the private mode according to the selection of a user or automatically.

Referring to Fig. 23A, while an enterprise mode is activated, when an audio call is received from a terminal of a correspondent corresponding to a private mode, the mobile terminal 100 informs a user of the reception of the call of audio and enables the user to select an “I accept” or a “rejection” (see Figure 23A (a)) or allows the user to select whether to switch to private mode (see Figure 23A (b)).

Referring to Figure 23B, if the call is selected in Figure 23A (a) or the “Yes (in the switch)” is selected in Figure 23A (b), the mobile terminal 100 switches the enterprise mode to private mode and then you can connect the audio call received from the caller's terminal by executing a call application.

Referring to Figure 23, if the connected audio call is terminated, the mobile terminal 100 can switch the private mode to the enterprise mode automatically or according to a selection of a user.

Referring to figure 24a, while a private mode is activated, when an email is sent that has an established receiver to a caller (eg, a company) corresponding to a company mode (see figure 24A (a )), the mobile terminal 100 switches the private mode to the business mode automatically or according to the selection of a user and can then execute an application for electronic mail according to a feature that corresponds to the business mode (see Figure 24A (b)). By doing so, using the information of the caller included in field (A) 2602 that is shown in Figure 26A, you can check if a caller receiving the e-mail sent is the caller that corresponds to the company mode.

Referring to Figure 24B, if the email delivery has been completed, mobile terminal 100 can switch the business mode to private mode.

Referring to figure 25a, while a private mode is activated, when a message is sent that has a recipient information configured as a partner information (for example, director XX) corresponding to a company mode (see figure 25A (a)), the mobile terminal 100 switches the private mode to the business mode automatically or according to a user selection and can then execute an application for the message according to a feature corresponding to the business mode (see Figure 25A (b)). In this way, using the information of the caller in field (A) 2603 of the message data structure that is shown in Figure 26B, you can check if a caller receiving the sent message is the caller's information corresponding to the mode of company.

Referring to Figure 25B, if the message delivery has been completed, mobile terminal 100 can switch the enterprise mode to private mode.

On the other hand, if an authentication procedure in order to enter a mode, to which a currently implemented mode will be switched, is required in Figures 19A to 25B (for example, if a conditional access is established in a mode to which will be switched a currently implemented mode or if a security level higher than that of a currently implemented mode is established in a mode to which a currently implemented mode will be switched) the mobile terminal 100 receives an input from a user of an information of User Authentication If the user authentication information entered is valid, the mobile terminal 100 may switch to a currently activated mode (for example, private mode) to another mode (for example, enterprise mode).

Meanwhile, although the first mode is switched to the second mode according to a detection of a signal for a mode switching, if a user input action does not exist for a predetermined period of time, the second mode can again be switched to the first mode.

Additionally, the embodiments relating to the switching to the specific mode in accordance with the signal detection for the mode switching are applicable to the input in the specific mode when the operating system mentioned in the above description is started up. For example, if the current location of a terminal is a specific place that corresponds to a specific mode or a current time belongs to a specific time that corresponds to a specific mode, the specific mode can be entered when commissioning is done. an operating system

Meanwhile, when the information of the first and second users that differ from each other are established for a first mode and a second mode, respectively, if the mobile terminal 100 detects a data transmission through the information of the second user in a state activated in the first mode, the mobile terminal 100 may switch the first mode to the second mode according to a selection of a user or under the control of the controller 180. For example, the information of the first and second users may include numbers of phone that differ from each other (for example, in the case of dual SIM).

In the following description, when switching a mode while executing a specific application, a method of controlling the execution of an application is explained with reference to the attached drawings.

Figure 27 is a second flow chart for a control method for a mode switching in a mobile terminal according to the present invention. For the purpose of greater clarity and comfort of the following description, it is assumed that a plurality of modes includes a first mode and a second mode. Additionally, it is assumed that the first mode or the second mode is selectively activated even though both the first and second modes are currently implemented.

Referring to Figure 27, mobile terminal 100 implements a first mode and a second mode under the control of controller 180. While the first mode is activated (S2710, which is identical to S1110 which is shown in Figure 11), the terminal mobile 100 runs a specific application (S2720).

In this case, the specific application executed may include an application (ie, a first dedicated application) executed in such a way as to be dedicated to the first mode or an application (i.e., a common application) executed in common with the first mode. and the second mode.

The mobile terminal 100 detects a signal for a mode switching while the specific application is executed under the control of the controller 180 (S2730, which is identical to S1120 which is shown in Figure 11).

When the signal for mode switching is detected, mobile terminal 100 determines whether the specific application executed is the common application under the control of controller 180 (S2740).

As a result of the determination, once it is determined that the specific application is the common application, when the mobile terminal 100 does not switch to the second mode (No, in step S2750), it restricts an execution of an application function. specific, keeping the state activated in the first mode under the control of controller 180 (S2760).

The restriction step S2760 can refer to the above description or to embodiments in the case of not switching to the second mode despite the detection of the signal for the mode switching while the common application is being executed in the first mode.

Meanwhile, as a result of the determination, once it is determined that the specific application is the common application, when the mobile terminal 100 switches to the second mode (Yes, in step S2750), it determines whether a version of the common applications It is different in each, the first mode and the second mode (S2770).

In this case, if the version of the common application is different, it may mean that the first mode and the second mode differ from each other in a characteristic of the common application. .

As a result of step determinants S2770, if the first mode and the second mode of each other in the version (that is, a first version in the first mode and a second version in the second mode) ('Yes' in the step S2770), the mobile terminal 100 stops the execution of the first version of the specific application (S2771) and executes the second version of the specific application after activating the second mode (S2773) under the control of the controller 180.

In particular, the mobile terminal 100 stops the execution of the common application according to the characteristic corresponding to the first mode and can execute the common application according to the characteristic corresponding to the second mode.

On the contrary, as a result of the determining step S2770, if the first mode and the second mode mode do not differ from each other in the version ('No' in step S2770), the mobile terminal 100 activates the second mode and maintains the execution of the specific application, which is executed in the first mode, in the second mode as it is, under the control of controller 180 (S2774).

In this case, if the first mode and the second mode do not differ from each other in the version (that is, they are in the same version), it can mean that the common application is executed in each, the first mode and the second mode with the same characteristic.

Referring now to step S2740, as a result of the determination, if it is determined that the specific application is not the common application (i.e., the specific application is a first dedicated application), the mobile terminal 100 determines whether it is switched to the mode of second under the control of controller 180 (S2791).

As a result of the above determination, if it is determined that it has not been switched to the second mode (No, in step S2791), mobile terminal 100 terminates the specific application by maintaining the activated state of the first mode (S2792).

On the contrary, as a result of the determination above, if it is determined that it has been switched to the second mode (Sf, in step S2791), the mobile terminal 100 deactivates the first mode, activates the second mode and then terminates the application specific (S2793).

In addition, although an authentication procedure for switching from a current mode to another mode is not explained in the description with reference to Figure 27, the corresponding part of the above description with reference to Figure 11 is applicable to the embodiment that is shown in figure 27.

In the following description, a process for mode switching while running a common application is explained with reference to Figure 28A and Figure 29B.

Fig. 28A and Fig. 28B are diagrams of a process for a mode switching during the execution of a common application in accordance with the present invention.

Referring to Figure 28A and Figure 28B, while executing a telephone directory according to a feature corresponding to a private mode, if the mobile terminal 100 receives an input from a user's touch action in a zone for switching 503 (see Figure 28A (a)) or is located in a specific place, which corresponds to an enterprise mode (for example, the example of a specific event in order to generate a signal for a mode switching) (see Figure 28A (b)), the mobile terminal 100 switches the private mode to the business mode and can then execute the telephone directory according to a feature corresponding to the business mode (see Figure 28B). .

For example, the telephone directory according to the characteristic that corresponds to the private mode provides the information of the correspondent that corresponds only to the private mode. Additionally, the telephone directory according to the characteristic that corresponds to the company mode can provide the information of the correspondent that corresponds to the company mode or to the private mode simultaneously or selectively.

In the following description, a process for mode switching while an execution of a dedicated application is carried out is explained with reference to Figures 29A through 29C.

Figures 29A to 29C are diagrams of a process for mode switching while executing a dedicated application in accordance with the present invention.

Referring to Figure 29A and Figure 29B, if the mobile terminal 100 receives an input from a touch action of a user in an area for switching 503 while executing an executable camera only in private mode (see Figure 29A (a )) or is located in a specific place that corresponds to a business mode (see Figure 29A (b)), mobile terminal 100 allows the user to select whether to end the camera (see Figure 29B).

Additionally, the mobile terminal 100 can execute, if necessary, an application similar to the camera that ended (see Figure 29C (b)). For example, the application similar to the camera may include one among, a photo album, a galena and the like.

Meanwhile, a plurality of modes mentioned in this disclosure may variously include such a mode as a religion mode, a hobby mode, a school mode and the like as well as a private mode or a business mode. Additionally, a plurality of modes can be established by type.

When an application executed in accordance with a mode is determined in this disclosure, it may be designated in accordance with a selection of a user or may be automatically designated to a corresponding mode taking into consideration the property and type of the application. For example, assuming that a mode field exists in a data structure of an application, the application can be designated to a corresponding mode defined in the mode field.

In each of a plurality of the modes mentioned in this disclosure, a user interface associated with at least one of between an audio-based communication and a text-based communication may be provided through the display unit 151 under controller control 180. For example, audio-based communication includes one between, an audio call, a text-based interlocution and the like. Additionally, text-based communication may include one of a message service, a text-based dialogue and the like. In addition, the user interface is shown as a virtual key form on a touch screen or can be provided as a button key form. In addition, the user interfaces provided in a plurality of modes may differ from each other in at least one of between, a position, a shape, a size and the like.
