1 and 3, in step S301, the control unit 115 enters a screen display setting mode. At this time, the screen display setting mode is a mode for switching the screen of the display unit 111 when a URL is received during a video call with the second mobile terminal. More specifically, it is a mode for setting a method of switching the first image data to a web browser corresponding to the URL and displaying the first image data and the second image data on the display unit 111.

Then, in step S303, the control unit 115 selects whether to automatically switch the screen at the time of receiving the URL, and if automatic switching is selected, the control unit 115 proceeds to step S305. In step S305, the control unit 115 sets the first image data displayed on the display unit 111 at the time of receiving the URL as a screen automatic switching method so as to automatically switch to the screen of the web browser corresponding to the URL.

Conversely, if automatic switching is not selected, the control unit 115 proceeds to step S307. In step S307, the control unit 115 selects whether to display a notification message for selecting a screen switching. At this time, if it is selected to display the notification message in step S307, the control unit 115 proceeds to step S311. In step S311, the control unit 115 sets the first image data displayed on the display unit 111 to switch to the screen of the web browser corresponding to the URL when the screen switching is selected in the notification message.

Conversely, if it is not selected to display the notification message, the control unit 115 proceeds to step S313. In step S313, the control unit 115 sets the display method as a screen switching non-use method in which the first image data displayed on the display unit 111 is maintained and screen switching is not performed.

If the controller 115 determines in step S315 that the screen display setting has been completed, the controller 115 proceeds to step S317 and stores the setting result in the memory 113. [ At this time, if the controller 115 determines that the screen display setting is not completed in step S315, it returns to step S303 and can modify the setting result.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of performing screen switching in a first mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 5A to 5C are views showing screens for performing screen switching in the first mobile terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention.

1 to 5C, in step S401, the controller 115 controls the wireless communication unit 101 to perform a video call with the second portable terminal. At this time, the control unit 115 displays the second image data included in the data received from the second portable terminal and the first image data obtained from the camera 107 of the first portable terminal on the display unit 111. [ The display unit 111 displays the character data received from the input unit 105 of the first portable terminal and the character data included in the data received from the second portable terminal on the display unit 111.

For example, in step S401, the control unit 115 displays a video call screen on the display unit 111 as shown in FIG. 5A. At this time, reference numeral 111a in FIG. 5A denotes second image data, and reference numeral 111b denotes first image data. Reference numeral 111c denotes character data exchanged between the user of the second portable terminal and the user of the first portable terminal by chatting. In addition, the image data denoted by reference numerals 111a and 111b may be mutually changed.

In step S403, the controller 115 analyzes the data received from the second portable terminal. In step S405, the controller 115 determines whether there is a specific value in the data. At this time, the specific value may mean a kind of header attached to the data to inform that the URL is included in step S207 of FIG.

At this time, if it is determined in step S405 that the specific value exists in the data, the controller 115 proceeds to step S407. On the other hand, if the specific value does not exist, the control unit 115 returns to step S401 and displays the image data and character data included in the received data on the display unit 111. [

Subsequently, in step S407, the extracting unit 119 extracts the URL included in the data using the URL extraction algorithm stored in the memory 113. Then, Then, in step S409, the control unit 115 determines whether the screen display method is set in FIG.

If it is determined in step S409 that the screen display method is set, the controller 115 determines in step S411 whether the display method is set as a notification message display method.

If the notification message display method is set as a result of the determination, the controller 115 proceeds to step S413. Otherwise, if the notification message display method is not set, the controller 115 proceeds to step S421.

In step S413, the control unit 115 displays a notification message on the display unit 111 to select whether to switch the screen. For example, the control unit 115 displays the reference numeral 111d on the display unit 111 as shown in FIG. 5B. At this time, 111d indicates the notification message. Then, in step S415, the control unit 115 determines whether or not a signal for switching the screen is received from the input unit 105. [

Upon receiving the signal, the controller 115 proceeds to step S417 and controls the wireless communication unit 101 to access the web browser corresponding to the URL. In step S419, the control unit 115 controls the display unit 111 to switch the first image data displayed on the display unit 111 in step S401, on the screen for the web browser.

For example, the control unit 115 receives a signal for the key corresponding to the "OK" button from the input unit 105 as in 111d in Fig. 5B. Then, the control unit 115 switches the area of the first image data displayed on the display unit 111 to the screen of the web browser corresponding to the URL as indicated by 111b in FIG. 5C, as indicated by 111b in FIG. 5A or FIG. 5B.

If it is determined in step S421 that the screen display method set in FIG. 3 is a screen automatic switching method, the controller 115 proceeds to step S417. In this case, the control unit 115 directly switches from FIG. 5A to FIG. 5C and displays it on the display unit 111 in step S417.

On the other hand, if the controller 115 determines in step S421 that the set screen display method is not the automatic screen change method, the controller 115 proceeds to step S423. In step S423, the control unit 115 recognizes that the screen display method is set as the screen switching non-use method. Accordingly, the control unit 115 continuously displays the first image data displayed in step S401 on the display unit 111. [ For example, when the URL is extracted, the control unit 115 continuously displays the first image data on the display unit 111 as shown in FIG. 5A.

In addition, the control unit 115 stores the URL in the memory 113. Accordingly, after the video call is terminated, the user can access the web browser corresponding to the URL, and can extract necessary information at any time according to the request of the user.
