For example, a specific application may be a voice call, and an application that can operate in conjunction with it may be a telephone directory, a message, and the like.

An application executed in each of a plurality of modes includes at least one application (hereinafter referred to as a dedicated application) dedicated to execution in each of a plurality of modes, or at least one application executed in any one of a plurality of modes (Hereinafter referred to as a common application). Further, a common application may differ in at least one feature in each of a plurality of modes in which it can be executed. For example, the configuration, display or security of an application may vary. This will be described later in detail.

Of course, a common application may not feature different in each of a plurality of modes in which it can be executed. For example, this is true when the common application is a voice call, a message, or the like, which is a terminal basic application.

For example, when the first to third applications are executed in the first mode and the third to fifth applications are executed in the second mode, the first and second applications are dedicated applications in the first mode, and the third application Is a common application in the first and second modes, and the fourth and fifth applications are dedicated applications in the second mode.

For example, the plurality of modes may include a first mode (Privacy mode) that facilitates the privacy of the user, and a second mode (Business mode-Business mode) that is easy for the user's company life. This is to allow the mobile terminal to be used separately in consideration of the user's private life (for example, privacy) and public life (for example, company life). In particular, in terms of security enhancement, access to information corresponding to the other mode can be restricted when the personal mode or the business mode is implemented.

The personal mode and the business mode described above are only examples for explaining a plurality of modes, and are not limited to the name of the mode if it conforms to the mode discrimination standard referred to in the present specification. In the above description, a plurality of mode distinctions are described based on the application configuration, but a detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings will be given later.

The implementation and activation of a plurality of modes referred to in the present invention will be defined as follows.

According to the present invention, the mobile terminal can implement all of the plurality of modes, and can activate one of the plurality of modes currently implemented. For example, if the plurality of modes are the first and second modes, the mobile terminal may implement both the first and second modes by booting an operating system capable of implementing the first and second modes, The first and second modes can be selectively activated.

More specifically, if both the first and second modes are implemented, it is assumed that a mode in which an execution screen is displayed on the current screen, a mode in which a currently running application is designated, a mode in which a high priority is activated, and the like . At this time, the non-activated (or deactivated) mode is implemented on the terminal but can be said to operate in the background. If the execution screen of the second mode is displayed on the execution screen of the first mode in the first area through the screen division, the mode selected by the user, the mode in which the current area is activated, It can be seen that the running application is in the specified mode and the high priority mode is activated.

Optionally, the mobile terminal may implement and activate one mode, and may implement and activate another mode (optional implementation and activation of the mode) if it wishes to switch to another mode.

Hereinafter, the operation of the plurality of mode implementations and the components necessary for switching between the plurality of modes according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 3A to 4C. FIG.

FIG. 3A is a block diagram showing a control unit 180 for configuring a plurality of operating systems (OS) and a dedicated screen of a plurality of operating systems, and FIG. 3B is a block diagram illustrating a screen processing unit 185 of FIG. FIG. More specifically, FIGS. 3A and 3B show a case where a plurality of operating systems are provided in parallel (see FIGS. 4A and 4B, which will be described later).

In the context of the present invention, each of the plurality of modes may be implemented by each of a plurality of operating systems. In other words, the operating systems that support the implementation for each mode may be different.

3A, the control unit 180 may include a screen processor 185, a driver 186, a hypervisor 187, and a main processor 188. In particular, a hypervisor may be referred to as a virtual machine, a virtualization module, a virtual machine monitor module, a virtualization module monitor, etc. However, It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to those precise embodiments.

More specifically, a plurality of operating systems stored in the memory 160 are each provided with a flame buffer, and the screen processing unit 185, when a plurality of operating systems are driven, And determines which operating system dedicated screen is to be displayed on the screen of the current display unit 151 under the control of the main processing unit 188. [

Accordingly, the screen processing unit 185 may display only a dedicated screen of a specific operating system on the entire screen of the display unit 151 (when only one mode is implemented) or under the control of the main processing unit 188, It is possible to combine or edit the frames received from the buffers to generate a single integrated frame to display an integrated dedicated screen (in the case of implementing a plurality of modes) including all dedicated screens of the plurality of operating systems.

Referring to FIG. 3A, a plurality of operating systems (OS 1... OS N) are provided in parallel and can be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B.

4A and 4B illustrate a method (hereinafter referred to as a first method) of booting a plurality of OSs (guest OS 1 and 2) in parallel, each of which supports a different mode by mounting a hypervisor .

The mobile terminal 100 may implement the guest OSs 1 and 2 selectively, sequentially or simultaneously, and each of the guest OSs 1 and 2 may be assigned a different mode. At this time, the operation of the guest OSs 1 and 2 and the activation of the mode thereof can be performed by the hypervisor. Each of the components shown in FIG. 4B may perform general operations related to the virtualization technology.

More specifically, the control unit 180 (particularly, the hypervisor) activates the mode corresponding to the currently booted Guest OS 1 or 2, or (2) activates the mode corresponding to the 1 and the guest OSs 1 and 2 corresponding to the second mode are sequentially booted or simultaneously booted, (2-1) both the first and second modes are implemented and activated, or Only one of the first mode and the second mode can be activated (2-2).

Returning to Fig. 3, according to Fig. 3B, the screen processing section 185 includes a layout manager 185a and a display driver 185b. The layout manager 185a combines or edits frames received from the frame buffers under the control of the main processing unit 188 to generate one integrated frame and the display driver 185b generates layout information for the layout manager 185a To be displayed on the display unit 151. [0064]

In addition, the driver 186 controls the operation of all operating systems. The hypervisor 187 is a virtualization engine that enables the use of a plurality of operating systems in the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention as intermediate software between the main processor 188 and operating systems. In addition, the main processor 188 controls all operations related to operating a plurality of operating systems according to the present invention.

As described above, the screen processing unit 185, the driver 186, the hypervisor 187, and the main processing unit 188 may be included in the control unit 180 and may be included in the memory 160, Lt; / RTI >

3C is a block diagram showing a memory 160 having a database storage area corresponding to each of a plurality of modes.

According to the present invention, the mobile terminal can separately manage database storage areas for a plurality of modes. This is especially true if each of the plurality of modes is implemented by a different operating system.

Generally, the memory 160 includes at least one operating system capable of implementing the first and second modes, and may store an application corresponding to each of the at least one operating system. Accordingly, the at least one operating system may be selectively booted or simultaneously booted under the control of the controller 180.

For example, the operating system may include a commercial OS such as an Android OS, a Linux-based OS, a Windows mobile OS, and an Apple OS, and a dedicated application may be set differently for each of the OSs described above. OSes (e.g., 2.1 version of Android OS_ and 2.2 version of Android OS) different from the same kind of version as well as different kinds of OSs (e.g., Android OS and Apple iOS) May be included.

According to the present invention, assuming that the first and second modes can be implemented, the memory 160 stores the first database storage area 160 (a) corresponding to the first mode under the control of the controller 180, A second database storage area 160 (b) corresponding to the second mode, and a common database storage area 160 (c) common to the first and second modes. In some cases, the common database storage area 160 (c) may be omitted, and the common designated application and its associated content or data may be stored in the database storage area of the corresponding mode.

More specifically, in configuring the first, second, and common database storage areas, the mobile terminal 100 may use different memories in hardware or may be provided in the same memory but may restrict access to each mode, It is also possible to distinguish storage areas by using separate storage partitions.

At this time, the operating systems implementing the first and second modes may be the same or different from each other. In addition, there may be more than one mode that can be implemented by the mobile terminal 100, and in such a case, the database storage area may be further subdivided.

More specifically, the first database storage area 160 (a) includes an area (first application area) where at least one first application executed in the first mode is stored, an area where content related to the first application is stored 1 content area) and an area in which data associated with the first application is stored (first data area).

In the second database storage area 160 (b), an area (second application area) in which at least one second application executed in the second mode is stored, an area in which a content related to the second application is stored Area) and the area in which data related to the second application is stored (second data area).

In the common database storage area 160 (c), an area (common application area) in which at least one common application executed in both the first and second modes is stored, an area in which a content related to the common application is stored Area) and an area where data related to the common application is stored (common data area).

On the other hand, when the second mode is a business mode that is easy for a user's public life, the information stored in the second database storage area 160 (b) and the information stored in the common database storage area 160 (c) Information can be utilized only when it is shared with the enterprise server 300, stored only in the enterprise server 300, {160 (b) is unnecessary), and is connected to the enterprise server 300. Here, the enterprise server 300 may include a company server of a company in which the user works or a server of a specific company designated by the user (or a company in which the user works).

Also, during the first mode activation, the mobile terminal 100 can utilize only the information stored in the first database storage area 160 (a) and the first mode of the common database storage area 160 (c) , And during the second mode activation, all of the information stored in the first, second and common database storage areas 160 (a) - (c) can be utilized. Of course, the opposite case can also be implemented, and the information about the first mode can not be used even during the second mode activation.

Also, in the drawing, an application area, a content area, and a data area are shown to be divided in the database storage area, but they may be integrated in some cases.

4A and 4B illustrate a method (hereinafter referred to as a second method) of booting a guest OS supporting another mode by driving a hypervisor on a Host OS supporting one mode. In particular, the mode supported by the Host OS is the private mode, and the mode supported by the Guest OS may be the business mode.

In particular, according to FIG. 4C, the switching operation between the personal mode (P mode) and the business mode (B mode) can be performed by the B2B Manager. Of the two areas divided by the dotted line, the components shown in the P mode area operate at the implementation of the private mode, the components shown at the B mode area operate at the implementation of the business mode, The elements can operate in both modes.

According to the present invention, the mobile terminal 100 can implement a plurality of modes selectively, concurrently, or sequentially on an operating system, and a plurality of different operating systems (hereinafter referred to as individual operating systems) (Hereinafter referred to as a common operating system) may be designated. In particular, a plurality of mode implementations may be controlled by the hypervisor 187.

More specifically, the presently implemented or activated mode according to an individual operating system or a common operating system is defined as follows. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the plurality of modes are the first mode and the second mode. Of course, there may be more than one mode in some cases.

First, when the common operating system is booted, the control unit 180 implements (1) implementing and activating either the first or second mode, or (2) implementing both the first and second modes, 2 mode can be activated.

Next, when the individual operating system is booted, the control unit 180 may (1) implement and activate a mode corresponding to the currently booted individual operating system, (2) execute the first and second modes corresponding to the first and second modes, (2-1) both the first mode and the second mode are implemented and the first and second modes are implemented when the second operating system is sequentially booted or concurrently booted, Mode can be activated (2-2).

Hereinafter, the distinction between the plurality of modes will be described in detail.

According to the present invention, each of the plurality of modes can be distinguished by at least one of a mode indicator, a database storage area, an operating system, a user access right, an application configuration, a content configuration, a data configuration, have.

A case where a plurality of modes are distinguished using a mode indicator according to the first embodiment will be described.

Each of the plurality of modes may have indicators different from each other to indicate the corresponding mode. The mode-specific indicator can be basically stored in the mobile terminal 100 or downloaded from an external server (or an external terminal). In addition, the mode-specific indicator can be set or selected by the user, or arbitrarily set by the control unit 180. [

For example, each of the plurality of modes may include a mode icon, a mode image, a wallpaper, a background color / background brightness, a font / color / font size, a home screen screen (including the number of pages and a page indicator) (Including the number of applications included in one home screen, etc.), an application identifier, an LED color, a ring tone, a keypad type (including backlight color of the keypad), a mode switching key region, a group identifier Lt; / RTI > Of course, the above examples are only examples of mode indicators and may include all display elements for distinguishing modes.

In this regard, a detailed description will be given with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5D. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the first mode and the second mode are assumed to be the personal mode and the business mode, respectively, and one of the personal mode and the business mode is activated.

5A, when the personal mode is currently active, the mobile terminal 100 can display an icon (P mode) 501 corresponding to the personal mode in one area of the screen (a) (B mode) 502 corresponding to the business mode can be displayed in one area of the screen if the mode is activated.

5B, the mobile terminal 100 includes the mode change key region 510 in one area of the screen. If the personal mode is currently active, the mobile terminal 100 displays the area corresponding to the personal mode in the mode change key region 510 (B) 512 corresponding to the business mode of the mode changeover key region 510 if the current business mode is active (b) ).

5C, the mobile terminal 100 includes a personal mode area 521, a work mode area 522, and a switch command area 523 on the screen. If the current personal mode is active, P) 521 and can identify and display the business mode area (B) 522 if the current business mode is active (b).

5D, when the personal mode is currently activated, the mobile terminal 100 displays an event (for example, an e-mail, a message, a call, etc.) or an event frequency (A), and if the current business mode is activated, a notification window 531 for notifying the user of the event or the number of events (or the time of occurrence, (B), a notification window 532 for informing the user of the information (e.g.

A case where a plurality of modes are distinguished using a database storage area according to the second embodiment will be described.

Each of the plurality of modes may have a database storage area in the memory 160 separately (see FIG. 3C).

In addition, each of the plurality of modes can utilize only the information stored in the corresponding database storage area or the corresponding information stored in the common database storage area, and further, the information on the other mode can not be utilized in any mode. Alternatively, any one of a plurality of modes (for example, a business mode) may utilize information on another mode (for example, a personal mode), but other modes may not utilize information on a mode.

Further, if the information on the first mode can be utilized in the second mode (or vice versa), the access restriction is set in the second mode or a higher security level is set in the second mode (To be described later).

This will be described in detail with reference to Figs. 6A to 7B. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the first mode and the second mode are respectively the personal mode and the business mode, and it is assumed that any one of the personal mode and the business mode is active, and the execution state of the common application in the first mode and the second mode .

6A, when the mobile terminal 100 is executing a phone book (an example of a common application) in the personal mode, only the correspondent information corresponding to the personal mode among the partner information associated with the phone book can be extracted and displayed .

6B, when the phone book is executed in the business mode, the mobile terminal 100 extracts and displays only the counterpart information corresponding to the business mode among the counterpart information associated with the phone book, or (a) Mode can be extracted and displayed (b).

In particular, FIG. 6B illustrates a case where all areas 603 are activated. When the personal area P 601 is activated, only the counterpart information corresponding to the personal mode is activated Only the counterpart information corresponding to the business mode can be selectively displayed.

7A, when the mobile terminal 100 is executing the schedule management (an example of the common application) in the personal mode, it can extract and display only the schedule corresponding to the personal mode among the schedules related to the schedule management.

7B, when the schedule management is executed in the work mode, the mobile terminal 100 extracts and displays only the schedule corresponding to the work mode among the schedules associated with the schedule management, or displays the schedule in the personal mode and the work mode It is possible to extract and display schedules corresponding to any one of them (b).

In particular, FIG. 7B shows a case where all areas 703 are activated. When the personal area P 701 is activated, only the schedule corresponding to the personal mode is activated when the enterprise area B 702 is activated Only the schedule corresponding to the business mode can be selectively displayed.

In particular, in FIGS. 6A and 7B, it is not possible to access the information on the business mode or the database storage area storing the business mode in the personal mode, but can freely access the information on the personal mode or the database storage area storing the business mode. Lt; / RTI >

According to the third embodiment, each of the plurality of modes can be distinguished according to user access authority. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the plurality of modes are the first mode and the second mode.

In each of the plurality of modes, (1) the user access authority may be changed according to different security levels, (2) the access restriction is set in one mode and the access restriction is not set in another mode, Can vary.

In this regard, a particular mode of a plurality of modes may require an authentication procedure to enter into it. Therefore, only when a valid authentication procedure is performed to enter a specific mode, a specific mode can be entered. In particular, the authentication procedure may be required if the access mode is set to a specific mode or a security level higher than a certain level is set.

For example, in the mode in which the user access authority is high, the information corresponding to the low mode or the information corresponding to the low mode can be freely utilized by freely accessing the information of the database or its database storage area. However, Or access to its database storage area.

In addition, the mobile terminal 100 requests input of user authentication information at the time of entering or switching to a mode in which the user has a high access right, and when entering valid user authentication information, (An example of the authentication procedure). In addition, the mobile terminal 100 may be configured to have a low level of user authentication information (e.g., name and resident number) in a low security level mode, a high level of user authentication information (e.g., , A resident number, a specific touch pattern, and a specific password).

The following three cases will be described in more detail with respect to management (e.g., input, inquiry, editing, etc.) of information related to an application (including content or data) For convenience of explanation, a plurality of modes are limited to the first and second modes.

According to the first case, there may be applications that can input contents or data in common regardless of the mode. Applications that perform basic functions such as scheduling, scheduling, e-mail, messaging, instant messaging, conference calls, video calls, the Internet, and telephone books are examples of applications that perform basic functions.

According to the second case, it is possible to input information without mode discrimination as in the first case, but it is possible to distinguish the database storage area by mode (see FIG. 3C).

More specifically, information can not be exchanged between the modes, or information can be exchanged to one another. For example, it is possible to move the information from the personal mode to the business mode, but the information movement in the opposite direction may not be possible. Also, it is possible to move information from a lower class to a higher class by setting a different security level for each of a plurality of modes, but it is impossible to move information from a higher class to a lower class.

Also, in a specific situation, an external terminal having a remote privilege authority can delete information (for example, application, content and data) about a specific mode or shut down a specific mode itself. For example, a specific situation may include the case where an employee unauthorizedly removes the terminal, the terminal is stolen, a storage medium not registered in the terminal is mounted, or a terminal is connected to a network not registered.

Further, in association with the user access authority, an application (for example, an in-house job, an in-company job characteristic, an intra-company department, etc.) , Contents, data, and the like can be made different from each other, and functions for a specific application can be made different. For example, if the user class is above a certain level (for example, the group room), the approval function can be used, but if the user has a certain criteria (for example, employee), the approval function can be deactivated. Also, depending on the user class, there may be different information ranges (for example, the data fields can be configured depending on the user class) in which the available contents / data are different or the same contents / data are provided even in the same application. Also, depending on the user's authority, an icon associated with a task not belonging to the corresponding authority may not be displayed on the terminal itself or displayed even if the icon is displayed.

According to the third case, there may exist applications (dedicated applications) that can operate not only in the first and second modes but also can access the corresponding information.

For example, in business mode, you can prohibit the shooting function, restrict access to the network, or prevent the printing function for security reasons. Also, business-related applications may be provided in business mode and business-related applications may not be provided in personal mode. Of course, the reverse is also possible.

Alternatively, there may be a content or an application specialized only in the one-way mode. For example, an application specialized for business mode may have a business application related to the business, and such application can perform uploading to a payment system or a company server, downloading from a company server, and the like.

Furthermore, mode-specific access (or entry) restrictions are possible depending on the location or time. For example, you can set your home to not enter business mode, and you can set your company to not enter private mode at certain times. In some cases, in the case of a separately authorized person, it may be possible to enter the business mode at home, or to enter the personal mode at a specific time in the company.

In addition, the users using the business mode can provide an interface that can be shared with each other, so that information can be shared with each other. If the mode is switched to the personal mode, the interface for sharing the information can be blocked.

Furthermore, there may be a hardware module (common module) usable in all of the plurality of modes, or a hardware module (dedicated module) available only in a specific mode among a plurality of modes. Thus, in the first mode activation state, only the common module and the dedicated module of the first mode are activated and the dedicated module of the second mode can not be activated. At this time, the common module and the dedicated module may be designated according to the user's selection, or may be designated according to the determination of the controller 180 or the enterprise server 300. [

For example, assuming that the first mode and the second mode are the private mode and the business mode, the common module includes a mobile communication module 112 for transmitting and receiving calls and messages, a power supply unit 190, a display unit 151, A dedicated module in the personal mode may include a camera 121 and a position information module 115 and a dedicated module in the business mode may include a projector module 155 or the like . The above examples of the common module and the dedicated module are merely one embodiment, and thus the present invention is not limited to the examples described above, and can be configured in various ways.

Hereinafter, the user access authority will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8A and 8B. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the same content is accessed.

8A, the mobile terminal 100 can grant "read right" to document 1 when accessing document 1 (an example of the content) in the personal mode, and (a) In the case of Document 1, "read right, delete right, edit right" can be given to document 1 (b). Furthermore, if you are a company with a certain job level or higher, you may be granted more payment rights if Document 1 is a document requiring payment.

8B, when the file 1 (an example of the content) corresponding to the business mode is selected from the file list in the personal mode, the mobile terminal 100 notifies the user that there is no access right to the file 1, Further, the user can select whether to switch to business mode to confirm file 1 (b).

Of course, in FIG. 8B, a file corresponding to the business mode may not be included in the file list or an identifier indicating the file corresponding to the personal mode / business mode may be displayed on the file list.

In the above description, the case where the user access authority is set for each mode has been described, but it may be set for each application, content, or data depending on the case. Therefore, even if the same content is recognized by a user who is authorized to access the user, it can not be recognized by a user who is not authorized to access the user.

According to the fourth embodiment, each of the plurality of modes can be distinguished by at least one of an application configuration, a content configuration, and a data configuration.

In each of the plurality of modes, the mode-specific application can be configured differently, and the content or data corresponding to the application can be configured differently even for a common application.

Here, the configuration of the application is different in that, in the first mode, at least one application (hereinafter referred to as a first dedicated application) dedicated to the first mode and at least one application common to the first and second modes ), At least one application dedicated to the second mode (hereinafter referred to as a second dedicated application) and at least one application common to the first and second modes (hereinafter referred to as a common application) are executed in the second mode (See FIG. 10C).

Also, the configuration of the content / data may be different, including both the case where the content / data content itself is different or the case where the content / data content is different in part. Particularly, in the latter case, it may mean that the contents of the specific contents corresponding to the first and second modes are different even if the specific contents are all designated in the first and second modes. This may be possible by configuring different data fields on a per-mode basis for the same content or data.

In this regard, a detailed description will be made with reference to Figs. 9A and 9B.

9A, the mobile terminal 100 designates the contacts 911 and 921 and the emails 912 and 922, which are different from each other, in the personal mode and the business mode in storing the same partner information, and in the personal mode, The address 913 and the birthday information 914 are further specified and in the business mode, the payment authority 923, the rank 924, and the department 925 can be further designated.

9B, in storing the same schedule, even if the contents and attendee information 931 and 941 are similarly designated for the personal mode and the work mode, the time information 932 is further specified in the personal mode, The conference room information 942 and the announcement 943 can be further specified.

Furthermore, the mobile terminal 100 may set different keypad types for each mode as shown in FIG. 10A, and may set the time zones differently for each mode as shown in FIG. 10B. In addition, the mobile terminal 100 may set different backup levels of the application and related information for each mode. For example, in the personal mode, information can be backed up in the last week, and in the business mode, information can be backed up for a month or real-time backed up. Of course, the mode-specific backup level may be set by the user or arbitrarily set by the control unit 180. [

Particularly, in the business mode, in consideration of the state (for example, the currently activated mode, the current location, the time zone, etc.) of the counterpart terminal to be contacted at present, the counterpart terminal is not in the current business mode, In this case, the user can be informed and selected whether or not to be contacted. In this case, the mobile terminal 100 can receive the information indicating the status of the partner terminal from the partner terminal or the enterprise server, and can grasp the status of the partner terminal using the received information.

Further, in the business mode, all the previously stored schedule can be modified to reflect the current time zone (if the time zone is changed).

In addition, if there is no user input operation for a certain period of time in the business mode, the business mode can be locked or shutdown automatically or according to the user's selection. At this time, in order to release the locked state or the suspended state, the user authentication information corresponding to the business mode must be inputted or authentication is required from the enterprise server. Also, in the business mode, when the user terminal is equipped with the overseas roaming function, the overseas roaming function can be automatically canceled if the current position of the user is domestic, and the overseas roaming function can be automatically executed when the user is abroad.

According to the fifth embodiment, each of the plurality of modes can be differentiated to correspond to the currently activated mode when at least one common application is executed. In other words, when the specific application is a common application in the first and second modes, the specific application may be differentiated according to whether the currently activated mode is the first mode or the second mode.

Here, the feature different for each mode may mean that the configuration of the application (including the configuration of the content / data), display, or security is different.

For example, different features for each mode may include the structure of the application (e.g., the composition of the menu item), the application run screen (e.g., background image, font, font size, (See FIGS. 6A and 7B), the data field configuration (see FIGS. 9A and 9B), the application function, the application (or the content / data) May mean different. Of course, the above examples are merely one embodiment, and therefore, any application can be applied if the common applications can be configured differently for each mode.

For example, in the case of a camera, the shooting function is permitted in the personal mode, but the shooting function in the business mode may not be permitted. In the case of the telephone directory, the name of the other party, the telephone number, and the personal e-mail address are provided in the personal mode. In addition, in the business mode, the e-mail address, the rank, the department, You can also provide more.

In this regard, a detailed description will be made with reference to FIG. 10C. For convenience of explanation, a plurality of modes will be limited to personal mode and business mode.

According to Fig. 10C, the mobile terminal 100 can receive an execution command signal from a user for a telephone directory (an example of a common application).

If the personal mode is activated, the mobile terminal 100 can execute the phone book according to the feature corresponding to the personal mode and display an execution screen corresponding thereto, (Refer to FIG. 6A or FIG. 9A), if the business mode is in the activated state, the phone book can be executed according to the feature corresponding to the business mode and the execution screen corresponding thereto can be displayed (refer to FIG. 6B or FIG. .

For example, when a common application is to be executed in the first mode, authentication information that does not require an authentication procedure or that has a security degree of a lower level should be input. However, in the second mode, When a common application is to be executed, an authentication procedure may be required or authentication information with a high degree of security may be input. At this time, the execution of the application may include not only display of the execution screen of the application but also output of contents or data related to the application.

According to the sixth embodiment, a plurality of modes can be distinguished by using user information corresponding to each mode. Here, the user information may include a user name (name), a user image, a user phone number, a user email address, a user blog address, and the like.

For example, first and second user information different from each other may be set in each of the first and second modes. More specifically, when the mobile terminal 100 is assigned the first and second telephone numbers (dual SIM), the first and second telephone numbers can be set in the first and second modes, respectively. In the above description, the definition of a mode referred to in the present specification and a method of distinguishing a plurality of modes when a plurality of modes exist are described.

According to the seventh embodiment, the plurality of modes can be distinguished by an application group including at least one application executed in each.

For example, when at least one application can be executed in each of a plurality of modes, the control unit 180 can configure an application group including the application (s) executable for each mode. Furthermore, an application group may be configured according to an application type as well as a mode. For example, if the application type is a call, the application group includes call-related applications. If the application type is a camera, the application group may include camera-related applications.

Furthermore, when the specific group identifier is selected, the mobile terminal 100 displays an indicator of applications belonging to the application group, or displays a specific group identifier It is possible to switch to the corresponding mode (assuming it is not the currently activated mode).

Hereinafter, switching from one mode to another mode in the case where a plurality of modes exist will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

11 is a flowchart illustrating a web browser-related mode switching control method of the mobile terminal according to the present invention. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that a plurality of modes is limited to the first and second modes, and that the first and second modes are selectively activated in accordance with mode switching in a state in which both of them are implemented. It is also assumed that web browser applications can be executed in common in the first and second modes.

Referring to FIG. 11, the mobile terminal 100 activates the first mode under the control of the controller 180 in the first and second modes (S1110). At this time, if the operating system is designated for each mode, the control unit 180 controls the first and second individual operating systems (the first and second OSs of the multiple OSs) corresponding to the first and second modes, And a second mode, respectively. If the mode-specific operating systems are common, the first and second modes can be implemented using a common operating system (single OS).

In this case, the first mode may be set to a default mode so as to be activated at boot time, a mode that is last activated before the power is turned off, or may be selected by the user at boot time.

Thereafter, the web browser application can be driven according to a command input by the user or according to the activation setting of the first mode. At this time, the execution-related information of the web browser application can be stored in the memory 160. [ Here, the web browser execution information includes a list of web pages visited through a web browser, a visiting order (history), a web page displayed through a web browser, a plurality of tabs or windows on a single web browser, When a Web page is viewed, tabs and window status information can be included. At this time, the control unit 180 may store the web browser application execution information in real time or whenever there is a change, or may store the web browser application execution information at a predetermined cycle, and the storage location on the memory 160 may be accessed in both the first mode and the second mode It is preferable that the position is possible. Of course, the present invention does not exclude locations where unidirectional access is possible. For example, although the web browser execution information generated in the first mode is accessible in the second mode, the web browser execution information generated in the second mode may be denied access in the first mode.

In operation S1130, the mobile terminal 100 detects a signal for switching the mode in the active state of the first mode under the control of the controller 180 during the operation of the web browser or after the end of the web browser application.

More specifically, the control unit 180 may further include a separate component for detecting generation of a signal for mode switching, and may have different components according to the type of the signal.

For example, the signal for mode switching may include a mode switching command signal input, a terminal current position belonging to a specific place corresponding to the second mode, a current time belonging to a specific time corresponding to the second mode, And a connection to a specific network corresponding to the second mode, as shown in FIG. Furthermore, when there are a plurality of switching object modes, the signal for switching the mode can be distinguished for each of the plurality of switching object modes. For example, the mode switching command signal may include designation information for the switching target mode, or may be designated for the corresponding location / time / corresponding terminal / network by the switching target mode.

Meanwhile, although not shown in the drawing, when a signal for mode switching is detected, the mobile terminal 100 determines whether an access restriction is set to the second mode to be switched, under the control of the controller 180 . Furthermore, if the security level is set in both the first mode and the second mode, the control unit 180 may determine whether the security level set in the second mode is higher than the security level set in the first mode.

More specifically, when the first mode is the personal mode and the mode to be switched is the business mode, the control unit 180 can determine that the access restriction is set to the business mode.

Also, the control unit 180 can determine the class of the access restriction set in the second mode. For example, in the second mode, any one of a plurality of access restriction levels can be set, the available application (or content / data) can be different according to the access restriction level set in the second mode, The scope of usage rights may be different.

Also, although not shown in the figure, the mobile terminal 100 may perform the authentication procedure to switch to the second mode under the control of the control unit 180. [ Specifically, the authentication procedure can receive user authentication information from a user, determine whether the input user authentication information is valid, and permit switching to the second mode when the input user authentication information is valid.

For example, if the access restriction is set to the second mode or a security level higher than the first mode is set in the second mode, the control unit 180 determines that the authentication procedure is necessary to switch to the second mode .

The input user authentication information may include user authentication information dedicated to the second mode or may include user authentication information that is not limited to the second mode but is commonly required when the mode is switched.

Also, the user authentication information may be set differently according to the access restriction level (or security level) of the second mode. For example, if the access restriction level is high, the user authentication information may be complex, and if the access restriction level is low, the user authentication information may be simple.

When entering the second mode a plurality of times, the control unit 180 can request different user authentication information at the time of entry and can input user authentication information at the time of entering the second mode from the user.

Also, if the authentication procedure for switching to (or entering) the second mode is successful, then the authentication procedure may be omitted if the second mode is switched back (or re-entered). For example, this is the case of re-switching for a certain period (working time, day, week, etc.), when the terminal is turned on, and when it is re-switching during off time.

When the mobile terminal 100 detects a signal for mode switching under the control of the controller 180 (S1130), the mobile terminal 100 switches from the first mode to the second mode, deactivates the first mode, Mode is activated (S1140). According to the foregoing description, the first mode can be continuously implemented even if it is inactivated.

When the mobile terminal 100 senses a signal for mode switching under the control of the control unit 180, the mobile terminal 100 outputs the mode switching notification information using the output unit 150, When the operation is input through the user input unit 130, the second mode can be switched.

For example, the mode switching notification information may include information indicating that the current mode switching is required, and information for allowing the user to select the mode switching. Also, the mode switching notification information can be variously output by using text, image, sound, vibration, warning sound, etc., and the mode switching command operation can be performed by operating the area / key / button for receiving the mode switching command Or when a voice, a terminal operation (e.g., a tilt in a certain direction or a certain number of shaking, etc.) is detected.

Also, the mode switching notification information may be output when the mode switching command operation is not received from the user for a predetermined period of time.

For the activation step S1140 of the second mode, the description of the activation step S1110 of the first mode is referred to.

Further, the mobile terminal 100 may switch to the second mode when the valid authentication procedure is performed under the control of the controller 180, and may continue to activate the first mode if the valid authentication procedure is not performed , It is possible to switch to the second mode and execute only the basic application (for example, call, message, schedule, etc.) among the applications of the second mode.

Meanwhile, after the second mode is successfully activated, the web browser may be operated in the second mode (S1150). The activation of the web browser may be performed according to a command input of the user, similar to the first mode, or according to the activation setting of the second mode.

If the web browser is activated in the second mode, the control unit 180 checks whether there is web browser execution information stored in the first mode or whether it is updated (S1160).

That is, the controller 180 can check whether there is a difference from the stored web browser execution information in the first mode checked when the web browser was last operated in the second mode, and if there is a difference, (S1170).

The determination of whether the application is applied or not is made by checking whether there is a preset value so as to always apply or not always when there is a difference, or informing the user of a difference through audiovisual output through the output unit 150, And a process of receiving confirmation of the request.

If the execution information is applied, the controller 180 may operate the web browser in the second mode by reflecting the web browser execution information stored in the first mode (S1180). The concrete form in which the execution information is reflected will be described later in more detail.

On the contrary, if the execution information is not applied, the control unit 180 can drive the web browser according to the default setting (S1190). The term " default setting " includes not only the basic setting of the web browser but also the setting based on the web browser execution information (including the web browser execution information stored in the first mode applied last) generated in the second mode.

Hereinafter, a specific mode in which various execution information according to the present invention is applied according to mode switching will be described.

FIG. 12 shows an example of a mode in which a web browser bookmark according to the present invention is applied to each mode.

12A, a web browser is activated on the touch screen 151 in a state where the first mode is activated, and a web page can be displayed. Here, the user can touch the bookmark creation icon 1210 to add the currently displayed web page to the bookmark.

12B, a bookmark menu is displayed on the touch screen 151, in which bookmarks are arranged in icon shapes 1220 and 1230. At this time, the index tab 1240 corresponding to the first mode is attached to the bookmark 1230 added in the first mode, unlike the bookmark 1220 set to the web browser default, irrespective of the currently activated mode. Here, the correspondence to the first mode means that a corresponding bookmark is simply added in the first mode, or a shortcut to a web page corresponding to the bookmark can be performed only in a state in which the first mode is activated It may mean.

At this time, the user can change the type of the index tab. Specifically, when the user touches the index tab 1240 corresponding to the first mode, a popup window 1250 including a type of index tab that can be changed as shown in FIG. 12C can be displayed. An index tab 1251 corresponding to the first mode, an index tab 1253 corresponding to both the first mode and the second mode and an index tab 1255 corresponding to the second mode are displayed in the popup window 1250. When the user selects the index tab 1255 corresponding to the second mode, the index tab of the bookmark icon 1230 is displayed as the index tab 1240 'corresponding to the second mode, as shown in FIG. 12 (d) Can be changed and displayed.

In the case where the index tab corresponding to the second mode indicates that the shortcut to the web page corresponding to the bookmark can be performed only in the state in which the second mode is activated, When the shortcut icon 1230 is selected, switching to the second mode and web browser operation in the second mode and web page corresponding to the bookmark can be performed. Of course, the switching to the second mode may be performed only when the security (or authentication) information confirmation for the mode switching described above has been successfully completed.

The above-described index tabs are illustrative, and the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied without limitation to numbers, symbols, figures, icons, colors, color patterns, etc.,

Next, referring to Fig. 13, the case where the web browser execution information is the login information for a specific web page will be described.

13 is a display state diagram showing an example of application of login information according to modes according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 13 (a), a web browser is activated on the touch screen 151 in a state where the first mode is activated, so that a web page can be displayed. Here, the web page is a site requesting login information, and an input window 1310 for receiving login information is displayed. When the login information is successfully input to the input window 1310, the controller 180 determines whether to apply the login information input through the web browser driven in the first mode, A pop-up window 1320 for confirmation from the touch screen 151 is displayed.

In this case, when the user selects to apply to the other mode through the pop-up window 1320 and then accesses the same web page through the web browser in the state where the second mode is activated, The login information may be automatically input to the user terminal 1310 '.

Next, referring to Fig. 14, the case where the web browser execution information is information that is the web page last browsed will be described.

FIG. 14 is a display state diagram showing an example of application of the final web page browse information according to the present invention in each mode.

Referring to FIG. 14A, a web browser is activated on the touch screen 151 in a state where the first mode is activated, and a web page can be displayed. At this time, when the mode is changed without ending the task for the web browser, that is, when the second mode is activated, as shown in (b) of FIG. 14, when the web browser is operated, A popup window 1410 for confirming whether or not the user is allowed to be displayed may be displayed. If the user selects to display the web page, the web page last displayed in the web browser driven in the first mode can be displayed through the web browser driven in the second mode as shown in Fig. 14 (c).

This has the effect of ensuring the continuity of web browsing even in case of abnormal termination of web browser or inevitable mode change. Here, the abnormal termination is a case where the web browser is terminated without inputting a normal command for terminating the web browser task. The power off due to battery exhaustion, the power off by the power key operation, the operation of the home- And a forced termination by a task killer application for securing a memory, etc. In addition, inevitable mode change is a concept including not only when a user inputs a mode change command directly but also when a specific event occurs (The arrival of a specific time, the reception of a specific radio signal, etc.), the mode is automatically switched.

Next, referring to Fig. 15, the case where the web browser execution information is the final window status information will be described. Here, window means a unit for independently displaying a web page in order to provide a function of browsing a plurality of web pages at the same time in one web browser. Generally, when a web page is displayed when a web browser is initially operated, it can be regarded as a window. When a command for opening a new window is input or a hyperlink on the web page is selected, a new window is created . When a new window open command is input, a default web page can be loaded in the corresponding window, and if a hyperlink is selected, a web page corresponding to the link can be loaded in the corresponding window.

Generally, only one window is displayed at the same time on the web browser. Therefore, in order to confirm the web page loaded in another window, the user needs to change the currently displayed window to another window. In this case, the window displayed by the flicking touch input in the horizontal or vertical direction through the touch screen or according to the predetermined menu operation can be changed.

Meanwhile, it is assumed that the web browser according to the present invention provides a window gathering function capable of scrolling a plurality of currently generated windows at a predetermined ratio, arranging them in a thumbnail form, and scrolling them up or down or right and left. In addition, the web browser according to the present invention may display two or more windows at a time through screen division instead of the gathering view function.

15 is a display state diagram showing an example of application of the final window state information according to modes according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 15 (a), a first web page may be displayed by driving a web browser on the touch screen 151 in a state where the first mode is activated. Here, a new window opening menu icon 1510 for creating a new window and a gathering menu icon 1520 for calling the window gathering function described above are disposed in the user interface of the web browser. When the user selects the new window open menu icon 1510, a new window is created, and the user can browse the second web page as shown in FIG. 15 (b). In other words, in FIG. 15 (b), only the second web page is displayed through the newly created window, but there are two windows in the web browser driven in the first mode, and different web pages are loaded .

At this time, when the mode is changed without ending the task for the web browser, that is, when the second mode is activated, whether or not to load the final window state in the first mode when the web browser is operated as shown in (c) A popup window 1530 for receiving confirmation from the user may be displayed. When the user selects the window to be loaded and then loads the window view function, a thumbnail 1540 of the window in which the second web page is loaded and a thumbnail 1550 of the window in which the first web page is loaded, as shown in FIG. 15 (d) ) Can all be displayed. That is, the window state of the web browser driven in the second mode may be configured to be the same as the final window state in the first mode. This embodiment also has an effect of ensuring the continuity of web browsing even in the case of abnormal termination of the web browser or inevitable mode change.

Next, referring to Fig. 16, the case where the web browser execution information is the visit history information will be described.

16 is a display state diagram showing an example of application of visit history information according to modes according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 16 (a), a web browser is activated on the touch screen 151 in a state where the first mode is activated, and a web page can be displayed. Here, in the user interface of the web browser, a previous page menu icon 1610 for returning to the previous web page and a next page menu icon 1620 for returning to the next web page are disposed. For example, when the web page is moved from the first web page to the third web page through the second web page, if the previous page menu icon is selected, the second page is moved to the second page. The user can move from the second page to the third page. At this time, each menu icon can be given a predetermined visual effect only when it is available. Here, the case where the menu icon can be used is a case where the function of each menu icon is executable, the previous page menu icon means that the previous page exists, and the next page menu icon means the case where the next page exists. In other words, both menu icons can not be used on the web page displayed first after the web browser is activated, and the previous page menu icon becomes available only when the web page is moved from the first web page to another web page. On the other hand, a history in which web pages visited through a web browser are sequentially changed as if moving from a first web page through a second web page to a third web page is referred to as "visiting history ".

The second web page may be displayed on the web browser as shown in FIG. 16 (b) according to selection of a bookmark, direct input of a URL address, or selection of a hyperlink on the first web page. Since the second web page has the first web page as the previous page as the first web page moves from the first web page to the second web page (i.e., the history change), the previous page menu icon 1610 ' Can be changed.

When the mode is changed without ending the task for the web browser in this state, that is, when the second mode is activated, as shown in (c) of FIG. 16, when the web browser is operated, the visit including the web page last viewed in the first mode A popup window 1630 for confirming to the user whether to apply the history information may be displayed. If the user selects to display the information, the visit history information including the web page last displayed in the web browser driven in the first mode can be applied through the web browser driven in the second mode as shown in (d) of FIG. have. 16 (d), the previous page menu icon 1610 "is displayed in a usable state.

14 to 16, the web page browsing information, the final window status information, and the visit history information are independently applied. However, at least two of them may be selectively applied at the same time. This will be described with reference to FIG.

17 is a display state diagram showing an example of selectively applying web browser execution information according to the present invention on a mode-by-mode basis.

17, a pop-up window 1710 is displayed when the web browser is activated in the first mode and execution information is generated / updated and the web browser is activated after the web browser is switched to the second mode. At this time, the items of the web browser execution information to be applied to the web browser operated in the second mode are displayed in the pop-up window 1710. Specifically, a final page 1711 indicating the final web page browse information, a multi-window 1713 indicating the final window status information, and a history 1715 item indicating the visit history information, (1721, 1723, 1725) are displayed. The user can selectively apply only the desired execution information among the plurality of web browser execution information to the web browser driven in the second mode by selectively checking at least one of the check boxes.

Meanwhile, the above-described embodiment in which the above-described final web page browsing information, the final window status information, and the visit history information are loaded at the time of mode change has been described on the assumption that the mode is changed without ending the task for the web browser. However, The present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to a case where the web browser before the mode change is normally terminated.

In addition, each of the pop-up windows shown in FIGS. 14 to 17 may be always displayed when the web browser is operated after the mode is changed, or may be set to be not displayed at all times. In the case where the pop-up window is not displayed, whether or not the generated / updated web browser execution information is to be automatically applied can be set in advance.

Next, another example of the case where the web browser execution information is the visit history information will be described with reference to Fig.

18 is a display state diagram showing another example of application of the visit history information according to modes according to the present invention.

In FIG. 18, the web browser according to the present invention can provide a history list function in which web pages visited according to a predetermined command input are listed in a thumbnail form. When the history list function is called, It can be displayed.

Referring to FIG. 18 (a), a web browser is activated on the touch screen 151 in a state where the first mode is activated, and a web page can be displayed. Here, an icon 1810 for calling the above-described history list function is placed in the user interface of the web browser.

If the icon 1810 is selected, the history list function is called as shown in FIG. 18 (b), so that the icons corresponding to the web pages visited in the first mode are displayed on the left side and the web pages visited in the second mode Corresponding icons are displayed on the right. At this time, the icon 1821 corresponding to the web page visited last in the first mode may be movable through a touch input such as a long touch. Accordingly, a semitransparent effect 1821 'may be assigned to the position where the corresponding icon originally existed, as shown in FIG. 18C, and the icon 1821' which is in the movable state is changed in position according to the touch point of the pointer When the icon 1821 'is positioned at a desired position, the icon can be fixed by releasing the touch. Accordingly, the icon 1831 may be arranged in an area corresponding to the second mode as shown in (d) of FIG.

Through the above-described method, the user can freely change the visit history details of each mode to each other. On the other hand, when the icon 1831 arranged in the area corresponding to the second mode is selected, the switching to the second mode is performed and the web page corresponding to the icon can be displayed on the web browser.

Next, referring to FIG. 19, a case where a mode is changed while a web page is loaded on a web browser driven in the first mode will be described.

FIG. 19 is a display state diagram illustrating an example of a web page loading according to mode switching in a web browser according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 19 (a), a web browser is activated on the touch screen 151 in a state in which the first mode is activated, so that web page loading can proceed. Accordingly, time information 1910 indicating that the web page is being loaded can be displayed. The loaded web page may be a default web page that is automatically loaded according to the operation of the web browser, or may be a web page corresponding to a hyperlink selected from another web page. At this time, when the mode is changed before the loading of the web page is completed, that is, when the second mode is activated, the screen is divided up and down when the web browser is operated as shown in FIG. 19 (b). A web page that has not been loaded in the first mode is loaded in the divided top area 1920 and a web page set as a default in the second mode is loaded in the bottom area 1930 so that a web page is being loaded in each area Visual effects 1921 and 1931 may be displayed. 19 (c), when the web page is completely loaded in each of the areas 1920 and 1930, the user applies a touch input to one of the areas and displays the web page displayed in the corresponding area in the areas (d) and You can switch to full screen as well. 19 (d) shows a case where the lower end region is selected.

In FIG. 19, a mode in which web pages for each mode are loaded by screen division has been described, but the same effect can be implemented in a tab format. This will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 20 is a display state diagram showing another example of a form in which web pages are loaded according to mode switching in the web browser according to the present invention.

Similar to FIG. 19, when the web browser is driven on the touch screen 151 in the state where the first mode is activated and the web page is being loaded, if the mode is changed before the loading is completed, It is assumed that the second mode is activated. When the second mode is activated and the web browser is operated, a tab may be generated for each mode as shown in FIG. 20 (a). That is, a web page whose loading is not completed in the first mode is loaded in the first tab 2010, and a default web page set in the second mode is loaded in the second tab 2020, respectively. FIG. 20A shows a case where the default activated tap (i.e., the selected tab is the full screen) is the second tab 2020. FIG.

If the user selects the first tab 2010, the first tab is activated as shown in (b) of FIG. 20, so that the web page whose loading is not completed in the first mode can be displayed as a full screen.

Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the above-described method can be implemented as a code that can be read by a processor on a medium on which the program is recorded. Examples of the medium that can be read by the processor include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, optical data storage, etc., and may be implemented in the form of a carrier wave (e.g., transmission over the Internet) .

The above-described mobile terminal and its control method are not limited to the configuration and method of the above-described embodiments, but the embodiments may be modified such that all or some of the embodiments are selectively And may be configured in combination.
