FIG. 2 is a diagram for comparing screen types of the display units of two types of mobile terminals, and FIG. 3 is a diagram for comparing absolute sizes of screens in two types of mobile terminals.

An example of a 4.5-inch display screen is illustrated in FIG. 2A, and an example of a 5-inch display screen is illustrated in FIG. 2B.

Referring to (a) of FIG. 2, when the mobile terminal has a 4.5-inch screen 300 (hereinafter referred to as a “first screen”), the resolution may be set to 1280x720. In addition, the density of the screen 300, which is 4.5, may be set to 320 dots per inch (dpi). In this specification, the density means the number of dots per inch.

In this specification, a mobile terminal having the second screen and having a resolution of 1024x768 may be referred to as a second mobile terminal.

That is, the size and resolution of the screen may vary according to the type of mobile terminal. And, the density in a specific mobile terminal can be selected from any of the reference density from the manufacturer of the mobile terminal. The reference density is LDPI (120dpi), MDPI (160dpi), HDPI (240dpi), and XHDPI (320dpi), and the manufacturer of the corresponding mobile terminal can determine a specific reference density based on the screen size and resolution.

And, DP can be determined by the following equation.

DP=pixel/(density / 160)

For example, in the case of an Android-based mobile terminal, DP may be determined based on 160 dpi.

The screen 310 (referred to as "first absolute screen") in which a screen optimized for the first screen 300 having a density of 320 dpi and a resolution of 1280x720 is expressed as DP can be expressed as 640x360 as shown in FIG. 3A. have.

On the other hand, a screen 410 (referred to as a "second absolute screen") representing a screen optimized for the second screen 400 having a density of 320 dpi and a resolution of 1024x768 is expressed as 512x384 as shown in FIG. 3(b). Can be.

For example, when one type of layout optimized for the first screen of the first mobile terminal is designed in the application, the DP of the corresponding layout may be expressed as a first absolute screen as shown in FIG.

By the way, when the application in which the application designed only for the first absolute screen is stored in the second mobile terminal is executed, the first absolute screen 310 and the second absolute screen 410 as shown in FIG. 3(c). Because of the difference in size, some regions (lower region) of the first absolute screen 410 are not displayed on the second absolute screen 410.

5 is a flowchart for explaining a method of operating an electronic device to display an application in which one type of layout is designed according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is optimized and displayed on various electronic devices.

In FIG. 5, a case in which an application having a first absolute screen optimized for a screen of a first mobile terminal is executed in a second mobile terminal will be described.

Referring to FIG. 5, the controller 180 can download an application from the application provider 200 through the wireless communication unit 110 or the interface unit 170 by an application download command (S11), and the memory 160 You can store the downloaded application in (S12).

As an example, the application includes layout information for one type of first absolute screen, and is programmed to apply a proportional constant 2. Accordingly, the first absolute screen may be displayed in conformity with a 1280x720 screen.

When an execution command of an application stored in the memory 160 is received (S13), the controller 180 acquires actual screen information of the electronic device (mobile terminal) stored in the memory 160 (S14). That is, the controller 180 can obtain the resolution of the electronic device (mobile terminal).

The controller 180 obtains a correction coefficient for screen correction (S15). Specifically, a correction coefficient may be obtained by using a vertical pixel value at a resolution of the first absolute screen of the application and a resolution of the electronic device (mobile terminal). The correction coefficient can be obtained by the following equation.

Correction factor = vertical pixel of resolution / vertical value of the first absolute screen (DP)

As an example, since the vertical pixel of the resolution of the electronic device (mobile terminal) is 1024, and the vertical DP of the first absolute screen is 640, the correction coefficient is 1.6.

The controller 180 acquires the corrected layout by reflecting the obtained coefficients in the layout of the application (S16). That is, the controller 180 does not apply the proportional constant 2 to the first absolute screen, and applies the obtained correction coefficient 1.6 to obtain a corrected layout.

The controller 180 outputs the corrected layout on the screen of the display unit (S17).

In this embodiment, in the memory, a program for performing the step of obtaining the actual screen information of the display unit stored in the memory, and based on the acquired actual screen information and the layout information of the application stored in the memory, for correcting the screen A program for obtaining correction coefficients is stored.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state in which an application layout is optimized and executed in each of two types of terminals, and a screen of a first mobile terminal is shown in FIG. 6(a) and a second move in FIG. 6(b). The screen of the terminal is shown.

The screen of FIG. 6(a) is the same as the screen of FIG. 4(a), and description thereof will be omitted.

Referring to the screen of FIG. 6(b), since the proportional constant 2 is not applied to the first absolute screen, and the corrected layout is generated by applying 1.6, the corrected layout is output to the screen of the electronic device (mobile terminal). As a result, the undisplayed area disappears, and the layout of the first absolute screen can be reflected on the screen. That is, it can be output to the screen of the electronic device (mobile terminal) without changing the vertical layout among the layouts constituting the first absolute screen.

In the above description, the reflection of the correction coefficient may be reflected only in the vertical direction on the first absolute screen, and may not be reflected in the horizontal direction. In this case, only the vertical of the first absolute screen is corrected, and a proportional constant 2 may be applied to the horizontal.

According to the proposed invention, even if an application having one type of layout is installed, the image layout to be displayed on the corresponding electronic device may be corrected and displayed according to the corresponding electronic device. Therefore, the application provider has the advantage of designing or modifying one type of layout when designing or updating the application.
