Update of lock screen and lock screen content

A mobile terminal (e.g., a smart phone or tablet) having a touch screen is generally provided with a lock screen function to prevent malfunction due to recognition of a touch input that is not intended by a user. The lock screen is a kind of mobile terminal function. When the function is activated, only limited information is displayed and only a limited touch input can be recognized. For example, in the lock screen state, a wallpaper, a time, a preset widget, an area for recognizing a touch input for releasing a lock screen, and the like may be displayed. As a touch input for releasing the lock screen, there is a method of moving an object displayed at a specific position in a predetermined direction or inputting a drag touch in accordance with a predetermined trajectory.

The lock screen can be activated when the screen is turned off because there is no command input from the user for a predetermined time or when the screen is turned off by operating a specific hardware key button and then the screen is turned on again. When the lock screen is released, the default home screen (or desktop) may be displayed, or the last screen displayed before the screen is turned off may be displayed continuously.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, at least one content displayed on the lock screen may be updated with contents of a previously registered web site. A process for this will be described with reference to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 3, first, at least one target web to fetch content to update the lock screen is set (S310).

The web may be, but is not necessarily limited to, the general world wide web (www). For example, the web referred to in the present invention may be a particular blog, a web page specified by a sub-address within a website, or it may be a specific SNS account. If the web is a blog that supports RSS, then the target web can be configured by adding an RSS feed address. The lexical meaning of RSS here is the acronym for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary, which means a standard communication format or transport protocol based on XML. In other words, RSS is a standard that summarizes various contents, mutually share and exchange. The content (or feed) can be transmitted through a content syndication format represented by RSS. In each feed composed of the content itself and metadata, there may be only the headline content, only the link to the story, May be included in the entire content. With RSS, you can easily check whether a site is updated by using an RSS feed without visiting the site or blog.

Meanwhile, the target web may directly receive the address of the target web through the user input unit 130, or may select a hyperlink. This will be described later in more detail with reference to FIG.

When the target web is set, the control unit 180 can confirm whether the target web is updated (S320).

In the update check, a method of storing content information at a previous visit in advance in the memory 160 and comparing the current content information with the stored content information upon re-visit may be used. . At this time, the contents are multimedia contents existing in various forms on a web page, and may include images, moving pictures, and flashes. At this time, the controller 180 may check only the update information of the content in a format that the user can set on the lock screen. On the other hand, the confirmation of the update may be performed in real time or in a predetermined cycle.

If it is determined that the web is updated (S330) and the update is not automatically performed (S340), the control unit may display the time information for update notification on the lock screen (S350). However, the present time information need not always be displayed on the lock screen but may be displayed on the indicator area for displaying various operation states of the mobile terminal by a simple icon or the like provided at the top of the display unit.

When the time information is selected by the user, for example, when the lock screen is displayed, if the user touches the area where the time information is displayed on the touch screen with a long touch (S360) The content may be selected (S370) and the lock screen may be updated with the selected content (S380). At this time, the content selection (S370) may be performed automatically by the control unit according to a predetermined criterion or may be performed by a method of receiving a selection command by a user. In addition, the selected content may be displayed in a predetermined area (hereinafter referred to as "wall-paper area" for convenience) so that the content can be set on the lock screen.

If the automatic update is set in step S340, the controller 180 may update the lock screen by selecting the updated content without any additional update notification or content selection from the user.

Hereinafter, a process of setting a target web will be described with reference to FIG.

4 is a display state diagram illustrating an example of a process of setting a target web to provide content to be updated on a lock screen in a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4A, the user can enter a lock screen display menu 410 for setting a lock screen related function through a predetermined menu operation. When the user enters the lock screen display menu, an item 421 corresponding to the RSS set as shown in FIG. 4B may be displayed. In order to set a new target RSS, an RSS feed addition menu 430 ) May be selected.

When the Add Feed menu is selected, a window 440 in which the name of the RSS to be added is to be added as shown in FIG. 4C and a window 450 in which the address of the RSS feed is to be input may be displayed. When information input to each window is completed through the user input unit 130, the user can select the save menu 460 and finish the addition of the RSS. Then, an item 423 corresponding to the newly added RSS can be displayed on the lock screen display menu as shown in (d) of FIG.

Next, referring to FIG. 5, a visual effect for informing the user that there is an updated target web will be described.

5 is a display state diagram illustrating an example of a lock screen of the mobile terminal and an update notification mode displayed thereon according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 5 (a) shows a simple form of lock screen. More specifically, the lock screen displays time information 510 and an object 520 to which a touch input for releasing the lock screen state is to be input.
