Description

{Method for Selectively Executing Contents for Mobile Communication Device by User Definition}

The present invention relates to a method for executing user selection of contents for a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a method for selectively executing downloaded and stored terminal contents according to a user's setting.

Recently, with the widespread use of mobile communication services, almost all citizens are provided with one or more mobile communication services. These mobile communication services are expanding to basic voice calls, text and voice message transmissions, wireless Internet services, and contents for mobile communication terminals.

Among these, the wireless Internet service can be connected to a server on the Internet to obtain necessary information by using a terminal, and wirelessly download and store wireless Internet contents such as various images, ringtones, and games, and execute them when necessary. Make it available.

In the early days of the wireless Internet service, only a few contents could be stored due to a lack of terminal storage space. However, recent mobile communication terminals have storage spaces of several hundred Kbytes, and thus can store tens or hundreds of contents at once.

As an example of the ringtone content, since only about five ringtones can be stored in the related art, one has to designate one of the ringtones by searching a list of ringtones and listening to each ringtone. However, since the latest terminal has stored dozens of ringtones, it is not only cumbersome to check and select and change him, but also consumes a lot of time. On the other hand, there may be a few of the ringtones that a user particularly likes, and it is not easy to search for and set him in a list of ringtones among dozens.

On the other hand, the user wants to prevent boredom by changing the ringtone, wallpaper image, video, etc. frequently, each time you need to run dozens or hundreds of contents (ringtone, background image, video), and then select the desired one do. Therefore, it is cumbersome to change the content frequently. In such a case, the above-mentioned inconvenience may be eliminated by designating a plurality of favorite contents separately after executing it once, and by repeatedly executing one of them repeatedly or continuously.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and allows the user to arbitrarily adjust the selection and execution of various contents stored in the mobile communication terminal.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for executing user selection of content for a mobile communication terminal.

Another object of the present invention is to list only the contents to be executed among the contents of the mobile communication terminal and to execute only the contents in the list, to set the repetition or sequential execution for a part, or to randomly select and execute the user. It provides a way to run a choice.

Figure 1 shows the execution of the conventional content, in particular ringtone content.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an implementation of a method for executing user-selected content according to the present invention.

3 to 6 show examples of a terminal screen interface in the process of implementing the method according to the present invention.

The method for achieving the object of the present invention as described above has the following configuration.

A method using a mobile communication terminal having a plurality of contents stored therein, the method comprising: 1) generating a list of contents to be executed among the contents, and sequentially or repeatedly executing only contents included in the list by user selection; Method (content list method), 2) a second method (random execution method) for executing randomly selected contents among all contents, and 3) a third method (repeat execution method) for repeatedly executing a predetermined number of times with respect to one or more selected contents. ), 4) one or more of a fourth method (continuous execution method) of continuously executing one or more selected contents.

The specific implementation of each of these schemes is as follows.

First, the first method includes a list generation step of selecting one or more contents that a user wants to execute and generating a list including information about the contents, and a list search in which the user searches for contents included in the list and selects one of them. And a content execution step of executing the selected content.

The second method includes a command input step in which a user inputs a random execution command to the terminal, and a control step of the terminal in which the controller randomly extracts and executes one of the stored contents at predetermined time intervals or whenever the content execution condition is met. The user may designate the predetermined time interval.

The third method includes a selection and frequency setting step in which a user selects one or more contents and sets a repetition frequency, and the control unit of the terminal sets a content execution condition at predetermined time intervals until the execution frequency is set. Each execution step is executed to execute the selected content.

The fourth method includes a selection step in which a user selects two or more contents of the same type, and a control unit of the terminal executes two or more selected contents in succession when a content execution condition occurs.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail an embodiment of the present invention.

1 illustrates a conventional content execution process. In particular, the ringtone execution is taken as an example.

It is assumed that a user accesses the wireless Internet and downloads and stores six ringtone contents. The drawing shows a terminal screen on which the downloaded six ringtone lists are displayed.

In the conventional terminal, in order to check and select a ringtone downloaded by the user, the user has to move the cursor in the list as shown in FIG. 1 to listen to the ringtones one by one and select one of them. In other words, to hear the ringtone "⑤ Mazing Gadget" had to check all the ringtones ① to ④.

However, since only a few ringtones can be stored in a conventional terminal, the above process was not very cumbersome. However, recent mobile communication terminals are usually provided with a storage space of 250 kbytes. It provides and allows you to download and save. In such a situation, it is not only cumbersome to check dozens of ringtones sequentially and select one of them, but also consumes a lot of time and power.

In addition, there may be special preferences among dozens of stored ringtones, but in the past there was no support to easily select him.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an implementation of a method for executing user-selected content according to the present invention. According to various methods provided by the present invention can be implemented as follows.

1) When using the list execution method (S220), if one or more desired contents are selected from the contents listed by type (ringtone, background image, video, etc.) (S221), the information on the selected content or the content itself is separate. The storage is stored in the "selected content library" (S222). As will be described later, the "selected content storage box" may have different names such as "preferred ringtone" and "preferred background image" according to the type of content.

Thereafter, when the user wants to execute or change the content (S223), that is, to change the ringtone or change the wallpaper image or the video, the user accesses the "selected content library" to view the selected content list and select one of them. (S224, S225). When a content execution condition such as an incoming call or opening of a folder occurs, the selected content is executed (S226, S227). Of course, it may be possible to select content to be changed or executed by searching through the entire list as in the conventional method.

2) In order to perform the random execution method (S230), the user only needs to simply switch to the random execution mode. In the random execution mode, when the execution condition occurs, the terminal controller extracts one content from the entire content and changes or executes it. It may be (S231 to S233). The execution or change of the content may be performed at a predetermined time or whenever an execution condition occurs. In this case, the term "execution condition occurrence" means when the incoming call signal is to be received in the case of the ringtone content, and the ringtone is to be ringed. In the case of the background image or the video, the folder is opened to display the background screen.

3) In order to perform the repetition execution method (S240), the user should select the desired content and specify the repetition frequency. Of course, such content selection and repetition frequency setting are not limited to one content, but a plurality of contents may be selected and repetition frequency may be individually set for each content (S241, S242, and S243).

After the content is selected and the number of times is set, the terminal controller executes the content when the execution condition is reached (S244, S245), monitors the number of times of execution (S246), and repeats until the number of times of execution is reached. (S247). For example, if five repetitions are set for the ringtone content A, the ringtone A is executed until there are five incoming calls thereafter, and afterwards, the ringtone A can be executed (S248). .

4) In the continuous execution method, the user selects two or more contents to be continuously executed for each content type (ringtone, background image or video) (S251). Then, when one content execution condition is generated (S252), the terminal controller continuously executes two or more selected contents (S253). For example, if the ringtones A, B, and C are selected as the contents to be continuously executed, when the incoming call is received, the first ringtone is A, and then B and C are continuously output.

Of course, the four methods described above are not used exclusively, and two or more methods may be mixed and applied simultaneously. For example, by combining the methods of 1) and 4), two or more contents having the same format among the contents included in the list may be executed in succession, and the methods of 1) and 2) are mixed to the list. It may be possible to randomly extract and execute the included contents.

3 to 6 show examples of a terminal screen interface in the process of implementing the method according to the present invention.

Figure 3 is the initial screen of the "user-selected content execution" service according to the present invention, the four methods described above (1. list execution; 2. random execution; 3. repeat execution; four consecutive executions) are listed, Allows you to select one or more of the options. In this state, if " 1. List generation ", " 3. Repeat execution " and " 4. Continuous execution " are selected, the screens shown in FIGS. If you set "2.Random Execution", the contents of ringtone, background image, background video, etc. are automatically randomized and executed without further setting.

4 is a screen provided when the "1. Run list" menu is selected. First, it is checked whether a content type is added to the list. In the drawing, the user selects the type of content to be added to the list among "ringtone", "background image" and "background video" (Fig. 4 (a)). Display the entire list of ringtone contents, and select the content to be added to the "(preferred) list" from among them (Fig. 4 (b)) In Fig. 4 (c) of the background image that is downloaded and stored This is a screen that displays the entire list. Select the background image to add to the list.

After the selection is completed, a separate list is generated, such as "preferred ringtone", and a new item "preferred ringtone" is newly added on the initial screen of "sound setting" of FIG. If this item is selected, the selected ringtone content list is provided as shown in FIG. Therefore, the user can easily change the ringtone by designating one of the favorite ringtones.

FIG. 5 shows a case where the "2. Repeat execution" menu of the initial menu is selected, and as in "1. List generation and execution", the type of content to be repeatedly executed is specified (FIG. 5 (a)). . If "ringtone" is selected among them, as shown in (b) of FIG. 5, the entire list of ringtone contents downloaded and stored is displayed, and one of them is selected.

If one ringtone content is selected, the setting is completed by inputting a repetition frequency as shown in FIG. Of course, as shown in Figure 5 (d) it may be set to repeat the execution of another ringtone content.

After this setting process, up to five incoming ring tones are set to "With Coffee", and then the ring tone is newly set again or switched to the initial setting mode (default state).

FIG. 6 illustrates a case where "3. continuous execution" is selected in the initial menu of FIG. 3, and specifies the type of content to be continuously executed first (FIG. 6 (a)). In the figure, an example of selecting "ringtone" is shown, and as shown in FIG. 6 (b), a list of all downloaded and stored ringtone contents is displayed, and two or more contents are selected from among them. That is, the desired content is selected by pressing the "Select" softkey while moving down with the cursor in FIG. 6 (b). When the selection of two or more contents is completed, the setting is completed by pressing the "Exit" button on the right side. .

Then, when the incoming call, two or more selected ringtones are continuously output. That is, when "with coffee" and "robot taekwon V" are selected, the ringtone is output in the order of "with coffee" → "robot taekwon V" → "with coffee" → "robot taekwon V".

Of course, although not shown in detail, it may be provided by mixing the above four methods. For example, by mixing the schemes of FIGS. 4 and 6, the "With Coffee" and "Mazing Gadget" ringtones in the preferred ringtone list (FIG. 4 (e)) upon reception may be set to be continuously output. By mixing the method of FIG. 5 and "5," it is possible to output "With Coffee" for up to five incoming calls and the "Mazing Gadget" ringtone for the next predetermined number of incoming calls.

As described above, using the method of the present invention, the user can selectively execute the contents of the mobile communication terminal such as a number of ringtones, wallpaper images, and videos that are downloaded and stored. can do.

In addition, by simplifying the process of retrieving, modifying, and executing the content, the cost and time will be greatly reduced.
