The terminal information collection unit 30, call origination history, call reception history, text message origination history, text message reception history, terminal operation history, GPS and wireless access point (AP) information (hereinafter, referred to as location spatial information history) It is collected by categorizing into Internet usage information, application usage information, multimedia data reading information, etc. and collects different items for each category and manages their frequency. That is, in the call origination history category, the called party's phone number is in the text message reception history category, the other party's phone number is in the received message category, the menu driven in the terminal operation history category is used, and in the location information category, the user's location and The name of the space entered is the address of the site visited by the user in the Internet usage history category, the name and execution time of the application used in the application usage history category, and the file name of each data file in the multimedia data browsing information category. It becomes an individual item in the category and monitors the most frequent of these items.
In the following description, the term "frequent" literally occurs more often than a predefined frequency. Means that.

2 is a block diagram showing a specific configuration of the terminal information collecting unit 30 for performing the above-described function, the terminal information collecting unit 30, the call history collecting unit 31, the text message (SMS) history collecting unit 32, the terminal (menu) operation information collecting unit 33, schedule information collecting unit 34, location spatial information collecting unit 35, Internet use information collecting unit 36, current time information collecting unit 37 , The multimedia data reading information collecting unit 38 and the application usage collecting unit 39 serve to extract information for grasping a usage pattern for various items of the user for each item.

The call history collection unit 31 extracts call history information each time the user calls another person through the terminal and stores the call history information in the user information management unit 50. In the calling number category, frequently called originating numbers are identified, and in the receiving number category, incoming numbers received frequently are regarded as items of the corresponding category.

The text message (SMS) history collecting unit 32 extracts a counterpart list of text messages that the user frequently exchanges through the terminal, and stores them in the user information management unit 30. In the outgoing message category, the counterpart numbers of the message frequently transmitted by the user are identified, and in the received message category, the counterpart numbers of the message frequently received by the user are identified and regarded as items of the corresponding categories.

The terminal manipulation information collecting unit 33 senses all kinds of terminal manipulation signals coming in through the user manipulation input unit 20 and maintains frequently driven signals in the user information managing unit 50 for each category. In the terminal menu category, the lowermost menu in the menu hierarchy selected by the user is selected, and in the terminal mode switching category, a shortcut button used by the user to change the mode of the terminal (eg, silent mode, ring mode, auto answer mode, call reception mode, etc.) Is considered an item.

The location spatial information collecting unit 35 collects information for grasping the current location of the user and the entered spatial information. The current location spatial information is a module that provides location information and spatial information used in subdividing frequent items for each category in each unit, and manages the occurrence space of frequent items. The location information collects frequent locations by identifying the current location of the user as an item through a signal received from the base station. In the method for classifying the generated space, the unit for classifying the space may be set in any unit by the space registration setting of the terminal. The registration of the space is performed by the user mapping the name of the wireless access point having the greatest strength among the wireless access points having the strength of the radio signal greater than the threshold set by the user at the current location to the name of the space.

The process as described above is performed by a program module corresponding to the positional space information collecting unit 35. A detailed program execution step for identifying the positional space is as follows.

That is, the location space information collection unit, the terminal to determine the location information of the current location of the terminal through the base station receiving the signal, and the radio frequency (RF) information transmitted from a specific place or data received through the wireless network Obtaining spatial information about a place where the user is located through at least one of the following steps; setting a threshold value of a signal of the wireless access point (AP) by the user; and setting the threshold value of the signal of the wireless access point (AP) in the current space in the terminal. Arranging the names of wireless access points (AP) having a greater signal strength than the threshold of the signals in order of signal strength, and selecting a wireless access point (AP) displayed on the terminal screen, Storing the space in the terminal by mapping with a name; and recognizing the current space when the user enters the space stored in the terminal. And, through the step of combining the position information and the spatial information obtains the location area information.

When the Internet usage information collecting unit 36 accesses the Internet through the terminal, the Internet usage information collecting unit 36 extracts the Internet usage history of the user and maintains it in the user information managing unit 50. In the access site category, the site address to which the user accesses is regarded as an item.

The application usage collection unit 39 collects usage history and execution time of the application installed in the user's terminal and maintains the frequent items in the user information management unit 50.

The multimedia data reading information collecting unit 38 collects usage history of all kinds of multimedia data (eg, photos, videos, MP3s, photomails, etc.) stored in the user's terminal and transmits frequent items to the user information managing unit 50. Keep it. In the photo category, the photo files frequently viewed by the user; in the video category, the video files played frequently by the user; in the MP3 category, the MP3 files frequently listened by the user; and in the photomail category, the photos frequently viewed by the user. Consider mail as an item.

 The current time information collecting unit 37 collects current time information and provides time information that is used in subdividing the frequent items for each category in each part, and manages the occurrence time zones of the frequent items. . In the method for classifying the generated time zone, the unit for classifying the time zone may be set in any unit by setting of the terminal.

The above described various types of information collected through the terminal information collecting unit 30 monitor the frequency of occurrence of each item for each category, and the frequent items are subdivided into the days of occurrence, time of occurrence, and location of occurrence of each item. Maintain additional summary information, such as:

That is, the call history collecting unit 31 breaks down the call day, the call time zone, and the total call time for the frequent items for each category, and maintains summary information such as the average and the deviation. Detailed information such as driving time, driving location space of the corresponding item for frequent items is maintained, and in the Internet usage information collecting unit 36, frequent items such as the number of visits per item, type of data exchanged and used time Detailed information is managed, and the application usage collection unit 39 maintains the summary information by subdividing the main use time zone and the use location space for each frequent item. The multimedia data reading information collecting unit 38 breaks down the main use time and use time for each frequent item and maintains the summary information.

The time information and spatial information necessary for subdividing the summary information by time zones are generated from the current time information collecting unit 37 and the occurrence time of the corresponding item from the location space information collecting unit 35 whenever an item is generated. It receives the space name and monitors occurrence time, location location space and frequency by item. That is, in monitoring frequent items, not only the frequency of occurrence of items but also the time zone and location space in which the corresponding items occur most are managed for each item.

3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the recent frequency monitoring unit of FIG. 1, wherein the recent frequency monitoring unit 40 continuously monitors the recent occurrence frequency for each category of the items obtained through the terminal information collection unit 30. This function serves to continuously search / maintain frequent items having a frequency of a certain number or more.

In order to store the user summary information by extracting frequent items from each category, storing / managing the frequency of all items that occurred from the past to the present time in each category not only uses too much memory space but also reflects the recent trend In case of storing / managing only the items that occurred during the recent relatively short period of time, there is a disadvantage that the frequent items change too frequently and only the recent tendency is known.

Therefore, in the present invention, a weight is applied between the latest information and the old information, and attenuation rate that uses different weights differently according to the generation time of the information is used.

First, in the method of applying the weight of information over time, the decay rate d is defined as the following function in the present invention, but can be defined as any simple reduction function.

(b>1, h≥1) d =

( b> 1 , h≥1 )

(Where b is the amount of weights reduced per attenuation unit, and h is the number of attenuation units that make the current weight 1 / b when the weight of the current information is 1).

는 아래와 같이 정의된다. When the kth item Tk (k≥2) occurs in a specific category P, the total number of items that occurred so far in that category

Is defined as

는 아래와 같이 정의된다.Similarly, the frequency of a specific item e in a specific category P

Is defined as

와 이 항목이 가장 최근에 발생한 발생시간

사이의 시간차에 상관없이 감쇄율이 동일하게 적용되는 단점이 있다.In the case of defining the attenuation rate as described above, the occurrence time of the current occurrence in the specific category P

And the most recent occurrence of this item

There is a disadvantage that the attenuation rate is applied equally regardless of the time difference between the two.

In the present invention, a method of applying attenuation rate is applied in consideration of a difference in occurrence time between a point in time at which the corresponding item most recently occurred and a point in time at which the item occurred.

And the most recent occurrence of this item

If defined as (see Figure 5), the total number of items that have occurred so far in that category

Is defined as

는 아래와 같이 정의된다.In the same way, the frequency of a specific item e in a specific category P

Is defined as

가 미리 설정해놓은 일정한 임계값(S_critical) 미만인 경우 해당 항목을 모니터링 대상에서 제외(pruning)하므로 해 한정된 메모리공간을 적응적으로 활용한다. In the method of managing the frequency of the items, as the number of different items increases, it becomes impossible to store all kinds of items due to the characteristics of the terminal environment that is limited by the memory space. Therefore, in the present invention, the current support for the specific item e of category P of the formula (1)

If _p is less than the predetermined threshold (S _critical ), the item is excluded from the monitoring target. Therefore, the limited memory space is adaptively used.

는 커지고, 해당 항목e의 발생횟수

의 값은 작아지므로, 항목의 지지도는 시간이 지남에 따라 점차적으로 낮아지게 된다.The frequency of items that do not continue to occur over a period of time is the number of items that have occurred so far as the value of k increases over time.

Increases and the number of occurrences of the item e

As the value of becomes small, the support of the item gradually decreases over time.

Since the number of items managed on the memory is determined by the slope of the support decay curve, the number of items managed on the memory can be adaptively changed by adjusting the attenuation rate d according to the size of the memory space. If the reduction factor d is large, the number of items managed in the memory decreases. On the contrary, if the value decreases, the number of items managed in the memory increases.

이 되므로 새롭게 발생하는 항목의 빈도수 변화를 일정기간 모니터링하기위해서는 메모리상에 항목의 유지여부를 결정하는 임계치(S_critical) 값이 상기 항목의 지지도

보다 작은 값이어야 한다. 만약 위의 조건을 만족하지 않으면 모든 새로운 항목은 발생하자마자 메모리상에 유지되지 않고 삭제되므로 어느 항목도 빈발항목이 될 수 없다. 즉,

을 만족해야 한다. If category e is the first occurrence at time point k that does not currently monitor frequency in category P, the frequency of that category e is 1, and support is

Therefore, in order to monitor the frequency change of a newly occurring item for a period of time, a _critical value (S _critical ) for determining whether or not to keep the item in memory is the support of the item.

Should be less than If the above conditions are not met, all new items are deleted in memory as soon as they occur, so none of them can be frequent. In other words,

Must be satisfied.

가 된다.Therefore, even if the first occurrence of the new item is applied to the decay rate and the support becomes less and less over time, it is maintained in memory for a certain period of time, ie, until the support of the item becomes equal to Scritical. Monitor the trend of change. In this case, the shortest time it takes for the support of a newly generated item at time point k to be critical in category P

.

 As described above, by removing items in the memory having a certain level of support or less from the memory and monitoring only the recent frequency of the items having a certain level or more of support, the memory space can be efficiently used and all items are processed. It also has the effect of reducing processing time.

In managing the summary information of the items of each category on the memory, the items with the support level (S _min ) or more among the items managed in the memory through the above method are regarded as frequent items and only frequent items. Maintain a summary of the categories described above.

Next, the configuration and function of the use pattern analysis processing unit will be described in detail.

Figure 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the use pattern analysis processing unit, the use pattern analysis processing unit 60 is a frequency extracted from the recent frequency monitoring unit 40 among the various items generated in each category through the above-described frequent items processing process One item is selected for analysis and the user's terminal usage pattern is analyzed based on the recent frequency of each frequent item.

The call pattern analysis processing unit 61 analyzes call history information, that is, the number of the call counterpart, the call duration, the total call time, and the like, for each call origination / reception category. For example, when a user presses a call button for a call, the user arranges the phone numbers in the order of the counterpart to whom the user has called frequently.

 The text message (SMS) usage pattern analysis processing unit 62 analyzes and stores the text message usage pattern by analyzing the number of times of re-reading with the communication counterpart, the time of deletion, and the like for each text message reception / send category. For example, when using a text message sender selection menu, the user sorts the phone number in the order of the person who sent the text message most frequently, and the user deletes the message immediately after the message arrives. As soon as a message is received, it is possible to delete it automatically by the user's settings. In addition, when a text message is frequently received from a specific counterpart, the user may automatically change the reception sound of a message received from the counterpart or ask the user whether to register the counterpart's phone number in the phone book.

The terminal manipulation pattern analysis processor 63 analyzes the terminal manipulation pattern of the user by dividing the terminal manipulation information obtained through the terminal manipulation information collecting unit 30 into menu driving and mode switching categories. For example, in the menu drive category, when the user presses the menu button on the terminal, the menu order displayed on the screen is sorted according to the menu order most frequently used by the user, or the lowest in the menu hierarchy that the user finally selects. Only frequently used menus among the menus can be selectively selected and displayed on the screen. In the mode switching category, the use of the mode switching shortcut button frequently used by the user is analyzed together with other types of information obtained through the terminal information collecting unit.

The schedule pattern analysis processing unit 64 analyzes a schedule pattern of the user by grasping a place, time, and acquaintances from schedule information input by the user through the terminal. For example, when a user meets a friend at a bookstore at 3 pm, they automatically provide directions and contact information when they leave the office and send a notification via SMS to their friends.

The movement pattern analysis processing unit 65 analyzes the movement pattern of the user by grasping the location space information from the movement path. For example, if the user has moved to the path of home → subway → coffee shop → office → park, the user may provide the user with a route application, a space name, and a recommendation route that are frequently used from the current location.

The Internet usage pattern analysis processing unit 66 analyzes the Internet usage pattern of the user by grasping the site and the usage time of the user connected through the terminal, the type of data transmitted and received, and the like. For example, when the user presses the Internet access button of the terminal, the shortcut menu may be displayed on the screen by arranging the sites most frequently accessed by the user in order.

The application usage pattern analysis processing unit 68 analyzes the application usage pattern of the user by analyzing the application name and the usage time used by the user in the terminal. For example, when the user selects an application list view menu on the terminal, the applications most frequently used by the user may be sorted by name and displayed on the screen.

The multimedia data usage pattern analysis processing unit 67 analyzes the user's multimedia data usage pattern by analyzing the number of accesses of various types of multimedia data stored in the user's terminal for each category. For example, in the photo category, when the user executes the saved photo view menu, the photo files can be sorted and displayed on the screen in the order that the user frequently viewed them. In the MP3 category, the stored MP3 file when the user selects the MP3 player menu. Can be arranged in the order in which the user listens most often so that the most frequently listened MP3 files are at the top of the playlist. In the video category, when the user selects the video play menu, the stored video files may be arranged in the order in which the user frequently plays the video so that the most frequently played file is at the top of the video list.

As described above, it is possible to provide basic functions optimized for the user's usage pattern by analyzing the information obtained from each module of the terminal information collection unit alone, thereby analyzing the user's terminal usage pattern. Integrating and analyzing the information from each module extends to the offering and recommendation of more intelligent and complex functions.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing a display structure and a user preference function according to a usage pattern according to the present invention. First, when a user manipulates a terminal, the terminal operation signal is driven internally by the terminal, and the terminal information collecting unit monitors this. If an occurrence of an item of a category corresponding to the terminal manipulation signal is detected, the latest frequency of the item corresponding to the input signal is updated. On the other hand, when the terminal operation signal requests for a specific category, the latest frequent items for each category are extracted, and if the operation mode is set according to the usage pattern in the terminal environment setting, the terminal performs an operation suitable for the category. That is, when the terminal user presses the call button, the list of the most frequently called outgoing phone numbers is output in the order of support degree, and when the user presses the menu button, the menu is sorted and displayed in order of the most frequently used menu, and the application menu is selected. If you use the application name used in the current location space is sorted and displayed, and when using a specific function (MP3, photos, videos, etc.) is displayed in the order of recently used data. These features are further broken down by time zone and location space, and are displayed by the latest frequency of the requested time zone and location space.

If this is described with a specific example as follows.

First, in the case of integrating and analyzing call pattern information of a user, personal information stored in a terminal, current time information, and schedule information, a complex function considering a call time zone and a call counterpart may be implemented. For example, if a call with a partner registered as a user's lover has recently been declining, the user may be notified that a recent love index has been lowered and a message inviting the call may be output to induce a call. Not only love index, but also friendship index and social index can be performed as above.

By analyzing the call pattern and the text message usage pattern, the following index calculation can be additionally performed.

In addition to the above-mentioned index, the index can be calculated in the same way for all groups registered in the phone book of the terminal.

On the other hand, the following functions can be implemented by analyzing the terminal operation history pattern, the location information, the personal schedule information, the current time information and the terminal operation information data obtained through the terminal information collection unit.

For example, by analyzing the location spatial information data, current time information, and terminal operation information data, the user can select a specific function of the terminal at a specific place in a specific time zone (e.g., play games at home on weekends and use MP3 function at work). You can analyze and save the use of.

For example, if the user is on the subway during the rush hour, a message such as "Do you want to use the MP3 function?" Can be output to encourage the user to use the MP3 function. Or, if you are at home on weekend afternoons, "How about playing a cell phone game?" It is recommended to use the game function to the user by outputting a message such as, and when the user frequently converts the terminal reception mode to the silent mode at a certain time registered in the schedule, the silent mode is automatically applied when the time registered in the schedule is reached. You can switch to or ask the user to change the mode.

In addition, when analyzing the Internet use pattern together with time information and location information, it is possible to recommend the use of the Internet in consideration of time and place. For example, if a user always accesses a specific site at work, the user may register it as a user's pattern and recommend that the user access the site at work.

If the application usage pattern is analyzed together with the time information and location spatial information, it is possible to recommend the operation or deletion of the application considering the time and place. For example, if a user always uses a book search application in a library in the morning, the user may register it as a user's pattern and automatically run or recommend driving the application in the library in the morning. In addition, when the moving frequency of the English learning application lowers below a predefined frequency value, a message such as "Do you want to delete the English learning application?" May be output to help manage the application storage space.

By analyzing the number of times the user accesses the multimedia data through the time information and the multimedia use data obtained through the terminal information collecting unit, the multimedia data usage pattern may be sorted in order of the data frequently accessed by the user at a specific time period and displayed to the user. For example, if a user frequently listens to a specific MP3 file during the rush hour, the file may appear at the top of the list during the rush hour.
