If information on a usage pattern of a user is accumulated for a certain period of time, an action that is regularly performed by a user may be found by time or by location in the accumulated information.

Next, the smart terminal 100 displays the content on the basis of the usage pattern for each time zone / location analyzed in the second layer (S430).

According to an exemplary embodiment, in step S430, the content corresponding to the current time information is displayed on the second layer in place of the second content in the foreground based on the usage pattern for each time period analyzed in step S420.

For example, the smart terminal 100 may analyze usage patterns of the B-user from 6:30 am to 7:00 am. If the number of times that the weather application is executed more than other applications is overwhelming by executing the weather application repeatedly to check the weather of the day in the corresponding time period before the user B enters the work, B user's usage pattern can be analyzed as "weather confirmation of the day &quot;. In this case, the smart terminal 100 may display the weather information on the second layer as the second content in the corresponding time period.

According to another embodiment, in step S430, the content corresponding to the location information of the smart terminal 100 is displayed on the basis of the usage pattern for each location analyzed in step S420, on the second layer instead of the second content on the foreground.

For example, the smart terminal 100 can analyze the usage pattern in the vicinity of the terminal end, which is the workplace of the C user. If the number of times the restaurant application is executed is greater than that of other applications by repeatedly executing the restaurant application to check the surrounding restaurants and discount benefits when the user C is located near the end zone, C User's usage pattern can be analyzed as "restaurant search". In this case, if the location of the smart terminal 100 is near the end zone, the smart terminal 100 can display the surrounding restaurant information as the second content in the second layer.

Of course, the smart terminal 100 can display predetermined contents by considering the usage pattern and the usage pattern for each location according to the analyzed time zone, and considers the result of analyzing the use state of the user or other usage patterns And may display a predetermined content.

As described above, according to the third embodiment of the present invention, a new type of always-active launcher program that can display contents in a separate layer considering a usage pattern for each time zone / location of a user is implemented, , And can serve as a platform for monetization by applying various business models.
