With the development of mobile communication technology and wireless Internet technology, the number of Internet users using mobile communication terminals is increasing, and various wireless Internet services have been developed and provided in response to this. In line with this trend, in Korea, wireless Internet service and content developers have standardized the wireless Internet platform for mobile communication devices so that service applications or contents can be easily installed in mobile communication devices.

Eventually, a wireless Internet platform for mobile terminals, called Wifi (WiFi Platform) (WiPi Platform), is now being installed on mobile terminals, which is now used by content developers (providers) or service application publishers. The various services and contents provided by can be executed in the mobile communication terminal.

As such, many applications are installed in mobile communication terminals, and each application has to be selected and executed by a user so that specific information or services can be provided, thereby increasing competition among applications.

As a result, a user or an application provider desperately needs to execute a desired application easily and conveniently so that the user can receive the desired service.

In general, the mobile terminal automatically turns on the user's key when the user does not turn on the power, make data and voice calls, or executes a specific application (SMS transmission, acknowledgment, game, music, etc.) executed according to the user's key input. Enters the standby mode waiting for input, and displays the standby screen informing the user of entering the standby mode (ie, setting). Normally, the standby screen displayed by the mobile communication terminal under the above-described condition is called "system standby screen", meaning that it is set by the mobile communication terminal manufacturer.

Therefore, the standby mode is easy to enter since the user does not have any special key manipulation, and on average, the standby mode is set for the most time of the mobile terminal mode.

In the standby screen of the standby mode, that is, the conventional system standby screen, the user executes media contents for viewing such as a clock, a picture, a moving picture or a video set by the terminal manufacturer, and displays the result on the screen. When a user additionally registers content of a picture, a picture, or a video within the set content type, it is displayed on the screen. In other words, in the current standby mode, the media content is provided to be viewed by the naked eye.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to meet the demands of the prior art, and any application selected by the user is executed in addition to the system standby mode on the standby mode that is first seen and easily accessible to the user, and thus the user may receive various outputs. An object of the present invention is to provide a standby screen service method of a mobile communication terminal, which can be provided to a mobile communication terminal.

A microphone 12 for receiving a signal, a speaker 13 for outputting a voice signal, an operating system, a system application (e.g., a phone number search program, a message management program, etc.), an application for a standby mode (e.g., in a standby mode) A program for playing content such as a game, flash, video, etc.), a memory 14 for storing content (eg, game data, flash data, video data, etc.), a display unit 15 for displaying a screen, and the like. And the key input signal generated by the key input unit 11 to the system application through the operating system or the application for the standby mode through the Wi-Fi platform. And a control unit 16 for transmitting to the option.

Hereinafter, a service hierarchy structure according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a service hierarchy structure according to the first embodiment of the present invention built in the mobile communication terminal illustrated in FIG. 1.

As shown in Fig. 2, the content layer, which is the highest layer on the mobile communication terminal to which the present invention is applied, includes a telephone number list (e.g., a list of telephone numbers for each group) 20, a message list (e.g., incoming / outgoing short message list). Etc.) 21 and contents (pictures, videos, games, flashes, etc.) 22 are mounted.

The application (solution) layer below the content layer is equipped with a system application (eg, a phone number search program, a message management program, etc.) 23 and an application for standby mode 24, and the application for standby mode 24 At the lower part, the epithelium platform 25 is mounted, and at the lower part of the epithelium platform 25, a HAL (Handset Adaptation Layer) 26 is mounted.

An operating system (eg, a REX OS developed by Qualcomm, etc.) 27 is mounted below the system application 23 and the HAL 26. In addition, a hardware layer, that is, a control unit 16, a key input unit 11, a microphone 12, a display unit 15, and a speaker 16 is mounted below the operating system 27.

In this hierarchical structure, the controller 16 controls the operations of the key input unit 11, the microphone 12, the display unit 15, the speaker 13, and the like under the control of the operating system 27, and the system application 23. ) Is executed (driven) on the operating system 27.

The Wi-Fi platform 25 can download various contents wirelessly, control various peripheral devices, and can simultaneously and independently execute multiple applications such as a computer (PC). This independence of the operating system 27 is made possible by the HAL 26 in which API functions defining interoperability with handset hardware and software are defined. The WiPie platform 25 calls the HAL API to access handset hardware resources through the handset base software, and the handset base software (including the control unit) accesses the WiPie platform through the HAL API.

The standby application 24 is an application that can be run in the standby mode (that is, an application capable of the standby service) and is distinguished from an agent application that is executed in the actual standby mode. That is, the standby application 24 is all applications running on the WiPie platform 25 (hereinafter, referred to as "wipie application"), and the agent application is a specific application registered to run in the standby mode among the standby mode. Application.

The standby application, that is, the Wi-Fi application, is an interactive application (e.g., SK Telecom service name 1mm service, Moneta On, Nate On) that varies the output displayed on the screen by changing its operation according to a user's key input signal. And non-interactive applications (e.g., S-telecom service names, KVM, GVM, mobile flash, live screens, etc.) that cause the user's keystrokes to be displayed on a screen that is not allowed. have.

In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, for the purpose of explanation, the standby mode application includes a first wicky application 24a, a second wicky application 24b, and a third wicky application 24c.

In order to make the Wi-Fi application into an agent application running in the standby mode, an API indicating registration of the agent application must be registered in the HAL 26 and the Wi-Fi platform 25 (especially the Wi-Fi API layer) as shown in the table below.

(table)

 division             HAL (26)       WIPI C     API  OEMH_sysRegAgent ()    OEMC_knlRegAgent ()

As described in the above table, registering the standby mode application as an agent application registers the "OEMH_sysRegAgent ()" API with the HAL 26 and the "OEMC_knlRegAgent ()" API in the C language processing area of the Wi-Fi platform 25. It is done by registering it.

When the API is registered in this way, the standby application becomes an agent application, and is executed by the WiPie platform 25 in the standby mode. At this time, parentheses of "OEMH_sysRegAgent ()" and "OEMC_knlRegAgent ()" will include the identifier of the application to be registered as an agent.

As described in the above table, there are two ways to register a specific standby application as an agent application in the HAL 26 and the WiPy platform 25.

In the first method, the manufacturer sets a default value when the mobile terminal is manufactured. In the second method, an SMS push message for instructing the agent registration of a specific application through a mobile communication network is requested by the mobile service provider. There is a method for providing to a mobile communication terminal.

Since the first method is set to a fixed value, no further description will be given, and the second method will be described with reference to FIG. 3. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a process of registering an application for an idle screen service in a mobile communication terminal based on FIG. 2.

The user provides the identification information of the Wi-Fi application and the mobile phone terminal number of the Wi-Fi application to the service center of the customer center or the mobile communication company in order to set the specific Wi-Fi application as the agent application on the mobile communication terminal.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the mobile communication service provider transmits an SMS push message including information provided by the user and a command code for instructing agent registration through the SMSC, and the mobile communication terminal receives it (S301). ).

 The SMS push message conforms to the WIPI Common SMS Push message standard. The WIPI Common SMS Push message is a specific TID (Teleservice ID: service) inserted into an SMS by a daemon application of the Wi-Fi platform even in a mobile communication terminal in a standby mode. Identifier) is a message to allow the command to be executed on the Wi-Fi platform.

The data of the WIPI Common SMS Push message is included in the "User Interface" code, which indicates what the user will be using for short messages, and in the "Message" code and "UI" code, which displays what commands the SMS performs. It consists of "Command" code that indicates which command to execute, and "Command-Defined-Date" code that contains the specific execution command according to the "Command" code.

Therefore, when receiving the SMS push message, the controller 16 of the mobile communication terminal reads the SMS push message to grasp each code (S302).

The mobile communication terminal determines whether the SMS push message indicates the registration of the agent application through the step S302 (S303). If it is not an agent application registration command, the mobile terminal performs an operation corresponding to the command. The identifier and the command of the application are transmitted to the WiPie platform 25 (S304).

Here, the control unit 16 transfers to the wicking platform 25 as soon as it is received when the wicking platform 25 is in operation, and does not transmit it when the system application 23 is running when the wicking platform 25 is in operation. When is delivered to the epithelium platform 25 is good.

When the WIPI platform 304 receives the agent registration command and the application identifier, the API is assigned to itself and the HAL 26 to register a specific application as an agent application (S305).

Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention in a state in which one or more specific applications are registered as agent applications will be described with reference to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a standby screen service method in a mobile communication terminal based on FIG. 2.

When the mobile terminal boots for the first time or enters the standby mode after the system application (eg, Caller Application, Menu Application, SMS send Application, etc.) is terminated, or after the Wi-Fi platform is terminated, the mobile terminal enters the standby mode without system work (eg, VOD download, etc.). Upon entering (S401), the WiPi platform 25 that receives the standby mode entry from the operating system 27 determines whether the agent application is registered (S403).

If the agent application is not registered in the grasp (S403), the platform 25 displays the system standby screen under the operating system 27 (S404). If the agent application is registered, the idle screen service is started (S405). .

When the idle screen service is started, the Wi-Fi platform 25 executes the registered agent application (S406), and displays the execution result of the agent application on the screen through the display unit 15 using the HAL 26 (S407). ).

When the execution result of the agent application is displayed on the screen in the standby mode in the standby mode, the user will simply check with the naked eye if the execution result screen of the interactive application is displayed. Manipulate the command. Then, the WiPie platform 25 provides a variable corresponding to the command to the interactive application to change the execution result of the interactive application.

On the other hand, if the user generates an end event of the idle screen service in this state (S408), the Wi-Fi platform 25 terminates the idle screen service, and delivers the event type code to the operating system 27.

Then, the handset software and hardware including the operating system 27 displays the set system standby screen (eg, clock, photo, video, etc.) when the event type code is the termination of the agent application (end of the standby screen service) (S409). If the event type is a call request, the voice call connection screen is displayed (S410).

Meanwhile, in the above-described embodiment, the present invention described the Wi-Fi platform standardized in Korea as an example of the wireless Internet platform mounted in the mobile communication terminal. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Even if the telecom WITOP, the Qualcomm brew (BREW) or the like is used, the same operation, object, and effect as in the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

The technical spirit of the present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this is by way of example only and not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, it is obvious that any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and imitations without departing from the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.

The present invention has the effect of allowing the user to immediately receive the desired service by automatically running the desired Wi-Fi application on the standby screen when entering the standby mode.

In addition, the present invention enables the execution of non-interactive applications and / or interactive applications to meet the user's desire to be provided with various information easily and quickly.
