When the user of the control terminal selects an image setting item from the idle screen occupancy service screen 1001 and inputs a confirmation button, the control terminal already outputs the setting screen 1003 to the display unit. The user may include an image setting screen 1003 including an image viewer, entertainment, communication, and information items. Here, the image viewer is for viewing the image set by the user, the entertainment is a game type service such as Tamakochi, the communication is an interactive service such as a messenger or an e-mail chat, and the information is an information service such as a stock or a shopping list. it means.

When a bulletin board setting item is selected on the idle screen occupancy service screen 1001 and a confirmation button is input, the control terminal outputs the bulletin board setting screen 1005 to the display unit. The control terminal user may set the type of message to be output to the bulletin board area in the standby mode on the bulletin board setting screen 1005.

When a standby screen control agreement request item is selected on the idle screen occupancy service screen 1001 and a confirmation button is input, the control terminal outputs a screen for inputting a telephone number of a receiving terminal to be controlled. The user of the control terminal may transmit a standby screen control consent request message by inputting a phone number of a receiving terminal to be controlled and inputting a confirmation button.

When the control standby screen item is selected on the standby screen occupancy service screen 1001 and a confirmation button is input, the control terminal outputs a screen for selecting a control application to occupy the standby screen of the receiver terminal on the display unit 1007. When the user of the control terminal selects a desired control application and inputs a confirmation button, the control application occupies the receiver terminal.

11 to 13 illustrate an example of a service according to the present invention.

FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a display unit and a key input unit in a standby mode state of a control terminal before a representative application occupying an idle screen according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

Referring to FIG. 11, a control terminal having no representative idle screen application installed therein outputs a standby screen 1101 set by a user under control of a basic idle screen control program in a standby mode. In addition, in the standby mode state, each key of the key input unit 1103 has each function as it is in the existing standby mode state.

12 is a view illustrating a display unit and a key input unit displaying a standby mode state of a control terminal in a state where a representative application occupying a standby screen according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is installed.

Referring to FIG. 12, when the control terminal downloads and installs a representative application occupying an idle screen, the control terminal divides the image region 1201, the bulletin board region 1203, and the agent-key region 1205 in the standby mode into a display unit. Output The agent-key region 1205 is generated when the idle screen occupation representative application is installed. An image set as a standby screen image is output to the image area 1201, and post messages received and stored in a memory are output to the bulletin board area 1203 in a slide form. In the standby mode, the agent button in the key input unit 1207 of the control terminal is for inputting the agent-key for activating the representative screen occupied representative application, and other buttons except for the agent button have the same function as the existing standby screen. have.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a display unit and a key input unit of a reception terminal occupied by a control application according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 13, a receiving terminal receives a control application from a control terminal agreeing to a standby screen control request in a standby mode, and controls the image area 1301 and the bulletin board area 1301 in an interactive mode in which the control application is activated. The agent service screen 1305 including the output is displayed on the display unit. In the interactive mode, the buttons of the key input unit 1307 perform respective functions defined for executing the control application.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and many variations are possible by those skilled in the art within the spirit of the present invention.

According to the present invention, a control application for controlling a standby screen of a counterpart terminal can be provided.

According to the present invention, by controlling an application of a counterpart terminal, two or more mobile terminals can simultaneously share an idle screen of the same content.

According to the present invention, the user can directly control the idle screen of the counterpart terminal using the control application.
