The present invention relates to a mobile terminal and a service providing method using the mobile terminal, and more particularly, to a mobile terminal and a mobile terminal for data storage to analyze, store, edit, and reproduce a source according to a type of service provided from the mobile terminal. The present invention relates to a data storage service providing method.

Until recently, mobile terminals have been limited to mobile communication terminals commonly referred to as mobile phones and data communication terminals such as PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants). In particular, these portable terminals have been sold at very high prices until recently due to difficulty in miniaturization and high performance, and thus have limitations that many users cannot use.

However, advances in technology have been applied to such portable terminals, such as high performance, low cost, and versatility, and many users are now using one or more portable terminals as necessities.

The technologies that have led to the generalization of portable terminals include direct device manufacturing technologies such as integrated technology and mass production technology, and additional technologies such as the unification of specifications for enhancing the compatibility and versatility of the operating technologies and devices for operating such devices. This combination of technologies has brought modern portable devices to a level that is likely to be seen in movies.

Representative examples of portable terminals used in recent years include mobile game devices that allow anyone to carry and talk with other people anytime, anywhere, and data communication devices that enable data communication such as the Internet anytime, anywhere. A device, a portable video reproducing device, a navigation device such as a GPS (Global Positioning System: " GPS "), a portable broadcast receiving device, and the like can be given. In addition, they are developed, produced, and distributed to perform a complex function unlike the related art. For example, the mobile communication terminal and the data communication terminals can use the voice call service provided by the mobile communication system, and selectively use the data communication service provided by the mobile communication system or the data communication service provided by the dedicated data communication network. It is also possible. In addition to the basic communication service, the mobile terminals are provided with a portable game machine, in particular, a game service associated with a data communication service, a playback / recording function of audio data such as a song, a recording function of a still picture, a video, and a receiving function of a broadcast video. It is also possible to perform the same various charging functions. That is, recent portable terminals have been able to implement all of the above functions in a single terminal instead of an individual portable terminal.

The users of the multi-functional portable terminal not only use a communication service or a single function provided, but also decorate the portable terminal, collect, process, and reuse various information provided through the portable terminal. The mobile terminal is used as a method. In order to accommodate the user's needs, a mobile terminal manufacturer or a service provider through the mobile terminal can supply data of some of the services provided to the user through the mobile terminal through a communication system or write an additional function. I'm trying to be there. One such example is a content service such as a desktop, melody, and music file of a portable terminal provided to users in parallel with the Web. Further, for example, the portable terminal may be applied to a function of enabling the transfer of data created by a camera or the like provided to the portable terminal to a background screen of the portable terminal or a computer terminal. The data used at this time may be a video clip sampling a portion of a video, a still image captured by a photographing device, recorded sound data, images provided through the web, sound data, a small video, etc. There is this.

However, in the case of such data, the user does not have direct access to the data he / she wants, but selects the data produced by the service provider according to the user's taste. In addition, even in the case of data produced using the user's own portable terminal, the number of couples that can be used is limited, and the situation in which the user desires to use the desired data is not satisfied.

In addition, data storage functions available in current mobile terminals are limited to images captured directly by a camera, content data transmitted through a communication system, and data recorded and recorded by a recording function. Since the mobile terminal data-forms another object or accepts the already formatted data, the user cannot directly extract and use the data output from the mobile terminal. For example, when a user using the Internet through a mobile terminal wants to save an Internet address or a link information output through the mobile terminal, the user writes it directly in a memo or uses an input device of the mobile terminal. There was an inconvenience that the user must record directly.

In particular, the conventional portable terminal has no method of directly storing data of a service provided through an output device of the portable terminal. That is, although it is possible to photograph other than the portable terminal through the additional device or to receive external data through the communication system, there is no method for storing and processing data output from the portable terminal itself. That is, there is a problem that a user who uses the service through the mobile terminal cannot use the service provided through the mobile terminal after recording or storing the service.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a portable terminal and a method for providing a data storage service in a portable terminal for data storage, which enables the analysis, storage, editing and playback of a source according to the type of service provided from the portable terminal. .

2 is a flowchart schematically illustrating a method of providing a data storage service according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the portable terminal, which is powered on, waits for a user command to be input or maintains an idle state waiting for a program to be driven as in step S10. In step S20, a user's command is input to an idle mobile terminal, and an application program is executed.

The application program is executed, and the user uses the service provided by the application program in operation S300. In addition, when the application program is executed in step S400, the store manager program is executed.

On the other hand, when the user inputs through the input unit 4 from the user who used the service provided by the application program driven in step S300, the portable terminal determines whether the command is a storage command or other commands other than storage in step S310 If the input command is a storage command, the store manager program detects an input of the storage command in operation S410. That is, in step S400, the store manager program maintains a state of waiting for a user's command. When the user's command is input in step S310, the store process corresponding to the store command is executed by the store manager program. In addition, when a storage command is input in steps S410 and S310, the store manager program determines the type of the currently executed application program and the type of data output to the output unit 2 by the application program, and determines the type of extracted data. . Here, the form of the application program includes an Internet browser for using the Internet, a WAP (Wireless Application Protocol Browser), an image playback program, a video playback program, a sound playback program, and a game program. It also determines the type of output data processed by the application program. That is, the form of the extracted data is determined by identifying whether the data is music or moving image data, image data, captured image output device, link data, and the like. On the other hand, the grasp of the application program and data type may be preceded by the execution step of the store manager, that is, the S400 step, as indicated by the dotted line B of FIG. 2.

If the data type is determined, in step S420, the portable terminal converts the output data into extracted data and stores the extracted data. When the extracted data is stored, it is determined whether to continue using the service in step S430, and if it is determined that the user continues to use the service, the process proceeds to step S300 to continue using the service.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the use of the service is terminated in step S430, the portable terminal allows the user to select whether to transmit, edit or reuse the extracted data in step S440.

On the other hand, if the command input in step S310 is not a storage command, in step S320 the mobile terminal determines whether the user continues to use the service.

When the user selects to terminate the use of the service in step S310, the portable terminal terminates the driving of the application program and the store manager program in step S460 and maintains an idle state.

When the user inputs a transfer, edit or reuse command in operation S440, the mobile terminal drives a program for transmission, editing or reuse in step S450, and transmits, edits or reuses the extracted data by forming a communication channel. The process is to proceed.

3 and 4 are views showing a specific example of the data storage service providing method according to Figure 2, Figure 3 shows an example of storing an image displayed through the image output device in the form of a screen shot (Screen Shot) when using the Internet Drawing. In particular, FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating a step of selecting an application program for accessing the Internet using a portable terminal, and FIG. 3B is a diagram illustrating a step of using an application program after accessing the Internet. 3C is a diagram illustrating a case where the extracted data is an image extracted by the screenshot function, and FIG. 3D is a diagram illustrating a case where the extracted data is link data.

Referring to FIG. 3, a user selects a wireless Internet access function as shown in FIG. 3A in order to use the wireless Internet using a portable terminal. The mobile terminal receiving the wireless internet access command runs an internet access application program for wireless internet access. At the same time, the mobile terminal also drives a store manager program for storing data from the application program. The driven Internet connection application program drives the communication unit 5 to form a communication channel with a communication system connectable to the Internet, and to provide an environment in which the mobile terminal can use the Internet. When the initial operation of the wireless Internet is terminated by the Internet connection process as described above, as shown in FIG. 3B, the user is switched to a state in which the user can use the wireless Internet together with a message informing that the wireless internet is available. At this time, the user attempts to connect by inputting an Internet address to check a newspaper article as shown in FIG. 3C. In response to the user's attempt to connect, the image output apparatus of the portable terminal outputs the content desired by the user as shown in FIG. At this time, when the user wants to store the entire article content, the user inputs a storage command using an input device such as a Menu button provided in the input unit 4. In this case, when using the screenshot function as an example of the storage command, the store manager program determines the content displayed on the current image output apparatus, that is, the storage form of the output data as image data. When the data type is determined, the store manager program stores the extracted data created by the screen shot function in the memory unit 3 in the form of image data.

Here, the store manager program can determine the type of the expected extraction data in advance and maintain the standby state. That is, as shown in FIG. 3C, when the link information as shown in FIG. 3D is included in the content of the search result, the store manager program maintains a standby state capable of performing both image storage and link information storage by the screenshot function. . In this case, when a user's storage command is input, the store manager program may present a form of the expected extraction data, and the user may select and store a desired form among the presented forms.

4 is a view for explaining a storage form of other data, a view for explaining an example for the creation of the extraction data during game use.

Referring to FIG. 4, recently, a high level game is provided among services or contents provided by a mobile terminal. Users using such a game service often need a function of storing an impressive game screen or a certain length of video while using a game. For these users, the store manager program may not only store game images in the form of screenshots, that is, capture, but also convert and store the video in a short time. That is, the video contained in the middle of the game can be extracted and stored as a video clip or a still image. For example, assuming that a user uses a game by driving a game application program, a user who uses the game captures a still image in a desired scene or inputs a command for storing a short video. By the storage command, the store manager program stores the image currently output according to the storage command in the memory unit 3 in a form determined to be suitable, that is, an image. Here, as described above, the form in which the store manager program can be stored may be selected in advance. That is, it is possible to capture the game image and save it as a video clip or to extract only the sound. For this purpose, the store manager program notifies the user of a form of data that can be stored when a save command is input while the game is being executed, Therefore, the extracted data is selectively stored.

In addition, the store manager program may store different types of extracted data in the memory unit 3 or allow the user to select the service according to a service used by the user. In addition to the Internet browser functions described above, other functions such as games, navigation, music playback, video playback, and shooting can be conveniently stored by the store manager.

The extracted data stored in this way is stored in a form that can be reused or edited by a separate application program such as a moving picture, still image, sound, text information, or link information. The extracted data can be edited by the user using the editing program of the portable terminal or the editing function of the external device, and applied to the desired application program for reuse.

The data storage service providing method of the present invention analyzes and confirms, by a store manager program, an application program driven by a user and data processed by the application program or data output to the output device by the application program, and a storage command from the user. It saves in the most rational data form or data selected by user according to analysis and confirmation result when input. In addition, by presenting a data format that can be stored by the store monitor program of the present invention, it is possible to extract desired data in a simple procedure by directly encoding or decoding an application program or data in use.

Step S610 is a storage command input step by a user using an application program. The step S610 includes a step of inputting a storage command of the user, checking the inputted storage command, and requesting the store manager program to confirm the data type from the application program. In addition, step S610 may further include temporarily stopping the provision of a service or the driving of an application program according to a storage command input.

Here, the step of requesting confirmation of the data type may be used in various ways such as immediately after the application is run, immediately after input of a storage command, or periodically, but the data type may change from time to time depending on the operation of the application program. It is desirable to request the data type only when the command is input or to periodically confirm the data type.

In step S620, the data type is checked according to a response from the application program. The step S620 includes determining a data type that can be stored according to a response from the application program, informing a user of the determination result, and waiting for a selection by the user.

In operation S630, the extracted data is stored according to the identified data type. The step S630 may include extracting data desired by a user, converting the extracted data into a selected data form, and storing the converted extracted data.

In operation S640, the service is continuously used or terminated by the user. When the storage of the extracted data is terminated in this step S640, confirming the continuous operation of the application program to the user or confirming the use or termination of the service, and continuously providing the service according to the result of the confirmation or application program Releasing the pause of the driving or terminating the driving of the service or the application program.

On the other hand, the data storage service of the present invention can be charged through user authentication.
