If the user does not input the separate scheduling information, it is preferable to use the basic scheduling information provided by the mobile communication terminal.

If the scheduling information for providing the idle screen service is set as described above, the mobile communication terminal starts the idle screen service based on the setting information, and sets the idle screen accordingly (S300). For example, if a user sets a start time and an end time for a specific idle screen service, it is preferable to determine the start and end of the idle screen service by comparing the current time with the set time and set the idle screen accordingly. .

If the standby screen display condition is satisfied (S400), the standby screen set in step S300 is displayed (S500). In this case, the display condition refers to a case where a button of a mobile communication terminal is pressed or a folder is opened when the mobile communication terminal is a folder type.

The series of processes S300 to S500 are repeated until the mobile communication terminal ends (S600).

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 3, the scheduling information setting process (S200) includes a step of confirming whether time scheduling information is input (S210), and a process of setting scheduling information based on a result of the checking. That is, if the time scheduling information is input as a result of the checking, scheduling is set based on the input time scheduling information (S220). Otherwise, scheduling is set based on the basic scheduling information (S230).

For example, when the user sets' 9 o 'as the start time of the idle screen service and '15: 00' as the end time of the idle screen service, scheduling information is set based on the time information. If the user does not input the time scheduling information, the scheduling information is set based on the basic scheduling information (for example, start time: 0 hours and end time: 24 hours).

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a process of starting a standby screen service and setting a standby screen based on the scheduling information (S300), and illustrates an example of a case where one idle screen service is scheduled.

Referring to FIG. 4, the process of starting the idle screen service and setting the idle screen based on the scheduling information (S300) is as follows.

First, the current time is compared with the scheduling information (S310). For example, the current time is compared with the idle screen service start time or idle screen service end time set in the process (S200 of FIG. 2).

As a result of the comparison, if the current time matches the preset idle screen service start time (S320), the pre-registered idle screen service is activated (S330). For example, the idle screen service registered in step S100 of FIG. 1 is started. If there are a plurality of idle screen services registered in step S100, a corresponding idle screen service among the plurality of idle screen services is started. The standby screen is set as the service screen (S340).

On the other hand, if the current time matches the preset idle screen service end time as a result of the comparison (S350), it is checked whether the current idle screen service is activated (S360), and the running service is terminated (S370). The standby screen is set as the default standby screen (S380).
