Etc.), a digital broadcasting module (eg, a DMB module) and a short-range communication module (eg, a Wi-Fi module, a Bluetooth module).

The audio processing unit 150 performs input and output functions of audio signals for voice recognition, voice recording, digital recording, and call functions by combining with a speaker (SPK) and a microphone (MIC). The audio processing unit 150 receives an audio signal (e.g., an audio signal guiding that an accessory is disconnected, an audio signal guiding that an external device is connected) from the controller 180, and converts the received audio signal to analog D/A 　And amplify it, then output it to the speaker (SPK). The audio processing unit 150 digitally A/D-converts the audio signal received from the microphone MIC and provides it to the controller 180. The speaker SPK converts the audio signal received from the audio processing unit 150 into a sound wave and outputs it. A microphone (MIC) converts sound waves transmitted from people or other sound sources into audio signals.

The sensor unit 160 detects a physical quantity (eg, speed, acceleration, altitude, etc.) or a change thereof. In particular, according to the present invention, the sensor unit 160 transmits a separation guide signal to the controller 180 when the accessory (eg, the pen 190) is separated from the mobile terminal 100, and the accessory is coupled to the mobile terminal 100. If so, it includes an accessory detachment detection sensor 161 that transmits the coupling guide signal to the controller 180. For example, if a magnet is attached to the accessory, the accessory detachment detection sensor 161 includes a Hall sensor. That is, when the first contact point of the magnet and the second contact point of the Hall sensor are separated, the accessory detachment detection sensor 161 outputs a separation guide signal to the controller 180. Here, the separation guidance signal includes information indicating what the accessory is. Therefore, when there are multiple accessories, the controller 180 can recognize which of the accessories is separated from the portable terminal 100. When the first contact point and the second contact point are attached, the accessory detachment detection sensor 161 transmits a coupling guide signal to the controller 180. Here, the combination guidance signal includes information indicating what the accessory is. Therefore, the controller 180 can recognize what the combined accessory is.

The external device interface unit 170 is connected to an external device (eg, other portable terminal, desktop PC, notebook PC, headphone, stand, etc.) through a wire, and performs data communication under the control of the controller 290. Here, the pedestal includes various electrical functions (eg, charging the portable terminal, receiving audio data from the portable terminal and outputting it, etc.) in addition to the physical function supporting the portable terminal. The external device interface unit 170 may include connectors corresponding to each of the external devices. For example, the external device interface unit 170 may include a connector for charging and data communication, and an ear jack for connection with headphones. The controller 180 may recognize whether an external device is connected. For example, when an external device is connected to the external device interface unit 170, the external device interface unit 170 outputs information indicating what the connected external device is (eg, a voltage value different for each external device) to the controller 180. . In addition, when the external device is disconnected, the external device interface unit 170 outputs information indicating that the external device is disconnected (eg, a ground (GND) voltage value) to the controller 180.

The controller 180 controls the overall operation of the portable terminal 100 and signal flow between the internal components of the portable terminal 100, performs a function of processing data, and controls the supply of power from the battery to the components. do. The controller 180 is a main memory device that stores an application program and an operating system, and a cache memory that temporarily stores data to be written to the storage unit 130 and temporarily stores data read from the storage unit 130 Wow, a central processing unit (CPU) and a graphic processing unit (GPU) may be included. Here, the operating system acts as an interface between the hardware and the program, and manages computer resources such as CPU, GPU, main memory, and auxiliary memory. That is, the operating system operates the portable terminal 100, determines the order of tasks, and controls CPU and GPU operations. In addition, the operating system controls the execution of application programs and manages the storage of data and files. Meanwhile, as is well known, the CPU is a core control unit of a computer system that performs calculations and comparisons of data, interpretation and execution of instructions, and the like. The GPU is a graphic control unit that performs calculations and comparisons of data related to graphics, interpretation and execution of instructions, etc. instead of the CPU. Each of the CPU and GPU may have two or more independent cores (eg, quad-core) integrated into one package consisting of a single integrated circuit. In addition, the CPU and GPU may be integrated into a single chip (SoC; System on Chip). Also, the CPU and GPU may be packaged in multi-layers. Meanwhile, a configuration including a CPU and a GPU may be referred to as an application processor (AP).

A characteristic technology related to the present invention by the controller 180, that is, processing a user-customized page, will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Meanwhile, depending on the convergence trend of digital devices, variations are very diverse and can not be listed all, but the mobile terminal 100 is not mentioned above, such as a GPS module, NFC (Near Filed Communication) module, vibration motor, camera, etc. It may further include components that are not. Here, the GPS module may be used for recognizing where the overseas roamed region is. The vibration motor may be used for guiding a user that a specific situation has occurred and has ended.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of generating a customized page according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3 and 4 are screens for explaining a method of generating a customized page according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, in step 210, the controller 180 detects an event indicating occurrence of a specific situation. For example, referring to FIGS. 3 (a) to (e), the controller 180 detects an event indicating that the pen 310 is disconnected from the mobile terminal from the sensor unit 160, or the headphone from the external device interface unit 170. Detects an event indicating that the connection 320 is connected, an event indicating that the car cradle 330 is connected from the external device interface unit 170, or the desk stand from the external device interface unit 170 An event indicating that the cradle 340 is connected may be detected or an overseas roaming signal may be received from the wireless communication unit 140.

When a specific situation event is detected, in step 220, the controller 180 collects mobile terminal usage information from the time when the specific situation event is detected, and stores the collected information in the storage unit 130. For example, the controller 180 includes a home screen (Fig. 4 (a)), a menu screen (Fig. 4 (b)), a lock screen (Fig. 4 (c)), a list of recently executed applications (Fig. 4 (d)), and Information on the executed application is collected through a pop-up menu (Fig. 4(e)). In addition, the controller 180 collects information on a function (eg, handwriting on a notepad) executed by a user in the executed app (eg, notepad). In addition, the controller 180 collects data generated by the executed function (eg, a memo generated by the handwriting function). In addition, the controller 180 collects data (eg, images) received from an external device by an executed function. In addition, the controller 180 collects environment setting values of the mobile terminal 100 set by the user (eg, the silent mode is set to OFF, the drive mode is set to ON, etc.). The information collected here is periodically updated based on at least one of the frequency of use and the time of use. For example, the controller 180 deletes information that has passed 40 days from among the collected information. When the frequency of using the app less than 100 times in the last 10 days, the controller 180 deletes the information of the app. If the user has not used the app for the last 5 days, the controller 180 deletes the information of the app.

In step 230, the controller 180 determines whether to end a specific situation. For example, when the controller 180 detects an event indicating that the pen 310 is coupled to the portable terminal from the sensor unit 160, the controller 180 determines that a specific situation (ie, pen separation) has ended. When the reception of data (eg, movie file) from the external device through the wireless communication unit 140 is completed, the controller 180 determines that a specific situation (ie, communication with the external device) has ended. When the external device interface unit 170 detects an event indicating that the connection with the external device has been released, the controller 180 determines that the specific situation (ie, the connection with the external device) has ended.

When the specific situation ends, in step 240, the controller 180 generates a user-customized page related to the specific situation by using the collected information. For example, when a specific situation is'pen separation' and the collected information includes a memo written by a pen, the generated user-customized page includes a title of'pen' and the memo. In step 250, the controller 180 stores the generated page in the storage unit 130. The generated page can also be stored in an external device. That is, the controller 180 controls the wireless communication unit 140 to transmit the generated page to an external device (eg, a cloud server). Also, the created page may be saved only to an external device.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of displaying a customized page according to an embodiment of the present invention. 6 to 9 are screens for explaining a method of displaying a customized page according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, in step 510, the controller 180 detects a specific situation event. When a specific situation event is detected, in step 520, the controller 180 reads a user-customized page related to the detected specific situation event from the storage unit 130, and controls the touch screen 110 to display the read page. For example, referring to FIGS. 6 (a) to (e), when a specific situation is'pen separation', the touch screen 110 is a page related to pen separation (e.g., a memo), as shown in FIG. 6 (a). Inclusive). When the specific situation is'connecting the car pedestal', the touch screen 110 is a page related to the car pedestal (e.g., for setting the usage environment of the portable terminal 100 to the drive mode), as shown in Fig. 6(b). An icon, an icon for guiding the way to the company, and an icon for guiding the way home) are displayed. When a specific situation is'connection of a desk stand', the touch screen 110 displays a page (eg, including a photo) related to the desk stand, as shown in FIG. 6(c). When the specific situation is'headphone connection', the touch screen 110 displays a page related to headphones (eg, including an execution screen of a music player), as shown in FIG. 6D. When the specific situation is'overseas roaming', as shown in Fig. 6(e), the touch screen 110 displays a page related to overseas roaming (e.g., the current time in Seoul and the current roaming region (e.g., New York)). Including time). Referring again to FIG. 6 (a), the touch screen 110 includes a page 610 and a title 620 when the page is a user-customized page, and a page list including indicators each representing the pages ( 630 and a list of applications 640 frequently used by the user are displayed. Among the indicators, the indicator corresponding to the page currently being displayed is highlighted and displayed. For example, an indicator of a page being displayed is displayed larger or darker than other indicators. Among the indicators, an indicator indicating a user-customized page is displayed in a form that can identify which specific situation the page is related to. For example, when the specific situation is “pen separation”, the indicator is “pen” shape. If the specific situation is "headphone connection", the indicator is in the shape of "headphone". If the specific situation is "connecting the car pedestal", the indicator is in the shape of "car".

In step 530, the controller 180 determines whether to end a specific situation. When the specific situation ends, in step 540, the controller 180 controls the touch screen 110 to end the display of the corresponding page and display the default page. As an example, referring to FIGS. 7A to 7C, the touch screen 110 displays a first page 710 from among the home screens under the control of the controller 180. When "headphone connection" occurs while the first page 710 is displayed, the controller 180 controls the touch screen 110 to display the second page 720 related to the "headphone connection". Further, the controller 180 controls the touch screen 110 to display the title 730 of the second page 720. In addition, the controller 180 controls the touch screen 110 to add the indicator 741 of the second page 720 to the page list 740 and highlight and display the indicator 741. When the headphones are separated, the controller 180 controls the touch screen 110 to end the display of the second page 720 and display the third page, that is, the default page 750. Here, the default page 750 may be a page displayed before the headphones are connected, that is, the first page 710. Also, the controller 180 also ends the display of the title 730 and removes the indicator 741 from the page list 740.

As another example, referring to FIGS. 8A to 8C and 9A to 9D, the touch screen 110 is a first page related to "headphone connection" under the control of the controller 180 810 is denoted (see Fig. 8(a)). When “pen separation” occurs while the first page 810 is displayed, the controller 180 controls the touch screen 110 to display the second page 820 related to “pen separation” (FIG. 8 ( b) see). In addition, the controller 180 controls the touch screen 110 to display the second title 821 of the second page 820 instead of the first title 811 of the first page 810. In addition, the controller 180 controls the touch screen 110 to add the indicator 831 of the second page 820 to the page list 830 and highlight and display the indicator 831. When a flick 841 from the second page 820 to the left or a tab 842 for an indicator of the first page 810 in the page list 830 is detected, the controller 180 and the first page 810 The touch screen 110 is controlled to display the title 811 (see Fig. 8(c)). When the flick 843 to the right on the first page 810 is detected, the controller 180 controls the touch screen 110 to display the second page 820 and its title 821 (Fig. 9(a)). ) Reference).

In the state of FIG. 9(a), when “pen coupling” occurs, the controller 180 ends the display of the second page 820 related to the pen and the title 821, and the previous page, that is, the first page 810. Controls the touch screen 110 to display) (see FIG. 9 (b)). When "headphone separation" occurs in the state of FIG. 9(b), the controller 180 ends the display of the first page 810 related to the headphones and the title 811, and displays the default page 850 ( 9(d)).

When "headphone separation" occurs in the state of FIG. 9(a), the controller 180 controls the touch screen 110 so that the indicator 832 of the second page 820 related to the headphones disappears from the page list 830. Control (see Fig. 9(c)). In the case of "pen coupling" in the state of FIG. 9(c), the controller 180 ends the display of the second page 820 related to the pen and its title 821, and displays the default page 850 ( 9(d)).

Referring to FIG. 10, in step 1010, the controller 180 detects a specific situation event. When a specific situation event is detected, in step 1020, the controller 180 reads the user-customized page related to the detected specific situation event from the storage unit 130 and controls the touch screen 110 to display the read page.

In step 1030, the controller 180 edits and stores a user-customized page. For example, referring to FIGS. 11 (a) to (d), the touch screen 110 displays a first page 1110 related to "headphone connection" under the control of the controller 180 (see FIG. 11 (a)). ). Here, the first page 1110 includes an icon 1111 corresponding to an application (eg, a music player). When the icon 1111 is touched, and the touch is held for, for example, 2 seconds for a predetermined time (eg, 2 seconds), the controller 180 controls the touch screen 110 to display edit buttons ( See Fig. 11 (b)). For example, the touch screen 110 displays a remove button 1120 for removing the icon 1111 from the first page 111. For example, when the icon 1111 moves and overlaps the remove button 1120, the controller 180 deletes the icon 1111 from the first page 1110. In addition, the touch screen 110 includes a folder creation button 1130 for adding a folder to the first page 1110, a page creation button 1140 for creating a new page, the touched icon 1111 and A delete button 1150 for deleting a corresponding application is displayed. Meanwhile, when the user moves (ie, drags) the icon 1111 to the left, the controller 180 controls the touch screen 110 to display the second page 1160 (see FIG. 11(c)). When the user releases the touch, the controller 180 positions the icon 1111 on the second page 1140 (see FIG. 11(d)).

In step 1040, the controller 180 displays the edited user-customized page (eg, the first page 1110 from which the icon 1111 has been removed). In step 1150, the controller 180 determines whether to end a specific situation. When the specific situation is over, in step 1160, the controller 180 controls the touch screen 110 to end the display of the corresponding page and display the default page.

Referring to FIG. 12, in step 1210, the controller 180 detects an event indicating occurrence of a specific situation. When a specific situation event is detected, the controller 180 reads a user-customized page corresponding to the specific situation from the storage unit 130 and controls the touch screen 110 to display the read page. In addition, when a specific situation event is detected, in step 1220, the controller 180 checks the first environment setting value (ie, information collected in step 220) corresponding to the generated specific situation in the storage unit 130.

In step 1230, the controller 180 compares the first environment setting value with the second environment setting value before the specific situation event is detected. If the values are different, in step 1240, the controller 180 sets the use environment of the portable terminal 100 using the first environment setting value. For example, referring to Table 1, the driving mode before the car stand is connected is "OFF (ie, the setting value before the specific situation event is detected)" and the driving mode stored in the storage is "ON (ie, the confirmed setting). Value), the controller 180 sets the driving mode to ON.

In step 1250, the controller 180 determines whether to end a specific situation. When the specific situation ends, in step 1160, the controller 180 returns the environment setting of the portable terminal 100 to the previous one. That is, the controller 180 sets the use environment of the mobile terminal 100 by using the second environment setting value. For example, referring to Table 1, if the driving mode is ON before the vehicle stand is connected and the driving mode is OFF after the vehicle stand is connected, the controller 180 returns the driving mode to ON. In addition, when a specific situation is over, the controller 180 controls the touch screen 110 to end the display of the corresponding page and display the default page.
