Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1. Mobile wallet Widget

1 is a view of a method of providing a mobile wallet widget according to an embodiment of the present invention. The Mobile Wallet widget 110 is a small program that is attached to the mobile wallet application. Accordingly, when the mobile wallet application is installed in the mobile terminal, the mobile wallet widget 110 is also installed. However, whether or not the mobile wallet widget 110 is executed is the freedom of the user.

When executed by the user, the mobile wallet widget 110 always operates as a GUI (Graphical User Interface) means provided at all times on the desktop of the mobile terminal as shown in FIG.

Since the mobile wallet widget 110 is executed / driven as a separate program from the mobile wallet application, the mobile wallet widget 110 maintains the display state of the desktop even when the mobile wallet application is not executed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile wallet widget 110 includes a 'mobile wallet item list' and 'graphic-buttons'. Specifically, a mobile wallet item list is displayed on the left side, and graphic-buttons are displayed on the right side, respectively.

Mobile wallet items are items that are stored in mobile wallets, including mobile payment cards, mobile memberships, mobile coupons, mobile tickets, mobile gift certificates, and mobile gift cones.

The two mobile wallet items listed in the mobile wallet item list may be those selected by the user, the frequency of use (most used), the date of use (most recently used), the expiration date (the remaining expiration date) And so on.

In addition to the priorities, available mobile wallet items may be selected and displayed (e.g., displaying AA-Mart's mobile membership and mobile coupon if the current location is AA-mart) through current location determination.

On the other hand, if the number of the items selected by the user or the number of the automatically selected items is two or more, it can also be implemented by displaying them one after another. Furthermore, it is possible to implement all mobile wallet items listed in the mobile wallet to be displayed one after another.

The graphics-buttons on the right side of the mobile wallet item list are color-buttons implemented in different colors. Due to operational limitations, the color-buttons are shown in different patterns on the mobile wallet widget 110 and the colors matching the color-buttons in the lower part of the mobile terminal are shown.

These color-buttons are the "operating means" used to enter commands for the mobile wallet item. That is, these color-buttons are used to specify commands for the mobile wallet item.

The command specifies at least one of the color-buttons by touching them in a predetermined order. The mobile wallet item to which this command is applied is specified by touching one on the mobile wallet item list on the left side.

The process of inputting the 'activation command for mobile membership' and the 'activation command for mobile coupon' among the commands for the mobile wallet item will be described in detail with reference to FIG. These activation commands mean that the user commands to display the bar code, number, etc. on the screen in order to use the mobile membership and the mobile coupon.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the "red" button is a button for command input 'start', the 'gray' button is a button for command input 'cancel' Similarly, it is assumed that the order of the "look" button "blue" button "orange"

In this situation, in order to activate "ABC MEMBERSHIP", as shown in (c) of FIG. 2, on the mobile wallet widget 110, "red" button → " Touch the button sequentially, then touch "ABC MEMBERSHIP" listed in the mobile wallet item list. The resulting "ABC MEMBERSHIP" activation result is shown in FIG.

In order to activate the "JK COUPON ", as shown in (d) of FIG. 2, on the mobile wallet widget 110, a red button, a blue button, After touching sequentially, touch "JK COUPON" listed in the list of mobile wallet items. The resulting "JK COUPON" activation result is shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when canceling the input for activating "ABC MEMBERSHIP", as shown in (e) of FIG. 2, touch the "gray" button during input. Thereby, the command can be inputted again from the beginning.

The input technique shown in FIG. 2 is equally applicable to the case of inputting commands other than mobile membership and mobile coupon activation. Other commands include inquiring information on mobile wallet items, activating mobile payment cards for NFC (near field communication) payments, deactivating activated payment cards, setting up mobile payment cards for primary use, setting up one-time mobile payment cards, Charging of a payment card, etc. However, it goes without saying that the above input method can be applied to commands other than the listed commands.

However, the command patterns should be set differently, and it is preferable that the user sets the mobile terminal as desired through the mobile wallet application and deletes or changes the setting after the setting.

On the other hand, the above input can be implemented to be performed within a predetermined time. For example, when all of the remaining buttons are not input within 10 seconds from the time when the "red" button as the start button is touched, the input contents up to that time can be automatically canceled. The effect of the automatic cancellation is the same as the effect when the "gray" button as the cancel button is touched.

On the other hand, in order to enhance the security, if the command pattern is wrong by more than a predetermined number of times (for example, five times or more wrong), it is regarded as an input by a person who is not a legitimate user, You can lock it so that it is disabled.

2. Operating means (graphic-buttons)

In FIG. 1, it is assumed that the graphic-buttons presented by the operating means of the mobile wallet widget 110 are color-buttons separated into different colors, but this is only an example of implementation and can be modified.

For example, graphic-buttons may be implemented as numeric-buttons, such as the mobile wallet widget 120 shown in FIG. 5, or may be implemented as character-buttons, such as the mobile wallet widget 130 shown in FIG. It is possible to implement and distinguish.

Furthermore, it is possible to divide graphic-buttons into different graphics, such as the mobile wallet widget 140 shown in FIG. 7, as well as different icons or characters.

3. Mobile wallet Widget  size

Up to now, the proposed mobile wallet widgets 110 to 140 have been fixed in size. However, you can assume a dynamic widget with a variable mobile wallet widget size.

For example, when the user touches the mobile wallet widget 150, the mobile wallet widget 150 in which only the mobile wallet item list is displayed is displayed on the mobile terminal as shown in FIG. 8 (a) The mobile wallet widget 110 displaying all the mobile wallet item list and operating means as shown in FIG. 8 (b) is displayed on the mobile terminal. It can be implemented.

At this time, the operation in which the user touches the mobile wallet widget 150 to call the operating means can be transformed into another kind of operation. For example, the user can implement the mobile wallet widget 110 when the mobile wallet widget 150 is multi-touched and the multi-touched points are dragged in different directions to move away from each other.

9 (a), the mobile wallet widget 110 in which both the mobile wallet item list and the manipulating means are displayed, enlarges the area as shown in FIG. 9 (b) You can increase the mobile wallet items listed in the list.

9A to 9B, the user's manipulation for changing the mobile wallet widget can be performed by the above-described multi-touch and drag, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

4. Mobile terminal
