Service control method for providing interface based on shared handle, and user terminal therefor

The present invention relates to a service control method and a user terminal for providing a shared handle-based interface, and more particularly, any one of the service modules included in one or more applications installed in the user terminal provides advertisement content or as an interface of the application. Sharing that creates an operable shared handle and provides a continuous user experience for the operation of the shared handle and the execution result by receiving the execution result for the shared handle of the previously executed service module by the recently executed service module The present invention relates to a service control method and a user terminal for providing a handle-based interface.

Currently, various applications that extend the functions of the user terminal are provided, and the user can use the functions provided by the application by installing the application in the user terminal.

In general, when an application installed in a user terminal is executed in the user terminal, execution result information processed during execution is valid only within the running application.

Therefore, in order to check the execution result information again, it is necessary to re-execute the corresponding application and confirm it, and the execution result information of the corresponding application cannot be checked through another application.

As described above, even if there is a common function that is provided in common between different applications, the execution result processed through this common function is not shared between the applications, but can be checked only in the application that generates the execution result, so that the continuity of the user experience is improved. Since it cannot be provided, there is a problem in that there is an inconvenience in using the application.

In addition, each application installed on the user terminal provides a service through its own interface. Due to this, the user has to use a different interface provided by each application when using different applications. When the interface is changed, the user experience provided by the interface of the terminated application is cut off, which may cause inconvenience in use.

In addition, the user input unit 120 may be configured to include a user input means such as a touch screen or a keypad, and may receive various commands or data from the user and provide the user input to the control unit 150 . have.

The display unit 140 is configured to provide information to the user by displaying various screens, and may include a separately provided display element (eg, an LCD panel, etc.), and the display unit 140 and the user input unit 120 ) may be implemented as a touch screen that is composed of one component and can output and input simultaneously.

In addition, the display unit 140 may display various screens or contents generated by the control unit 150 .

In addition, the storage unit 130 may store an operating system (O/S) and application-related data, programs, and various contents executed by the control unit 150 .

Here, the operating system may include a mobile operating system, for example, may include a mobile operating system such as Android or iOS.

The control unit 150 executes an overall control function of the terminal by using the program and data stored in the storage unit 130 configured in the user terminal 100 . The controller 150 may include RAM, ROM, CPU, GPU, and a bus, and the RAM, ROM, CPU, GPU, etc. may be connected to each other through a bus. The CPU may access the storage unit 130 and perform booting using the operating system stored in the storage unit 130 , and in the present invention using various programs, contents, data, etc. stored in the storage unit 130 . Various operations described can be performed.

Meanwhile, the control unit 150 of the user terminal 100 may communicate with an App store server that provides various applications through a communication network communicating with the communication unit 110 , and at least one After receiving (downloading) the above application-related data, the application may be installed in the user terminal 100 by storing it in the storage unit 130 so that the application is executed on the operating system.

Through this, the control unit 150 of the user terminal 100 may install at least one application to the user terminal 100, and download at least one application selected by the user from the app store server to the user terminal. (100) can be installed.

In addition, the control unit 150 drives the user terminal 100 through the operating system, and stores a selected application selected according to a user input from among a plurality of applications stored in the storage unit 130 based on the operating system in the storage unit. It may be executed based on the selected application related data stored in 130 .

As described above, each application installed in the user terminal 100 provides a service through its own interface. Due to this, the user must use a different interface provided by each application when using different applications, so the application is terminated. Or, when switching between applications, the interface is changed and the user experience provided by the interface of the terminated application is cut off, which may cause inconvenience in use.

2 is a detailed configuration diagram of a user terminal 100 that controls a service module for providing a shared handle-based interface according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a shared handle-based interface of the user terminal 100. It is a flowchart of a service control method for

First, as shown in FIG. 2 , a service module for providing the shared handle may be inserted (included) into each of one or more applications installed in the user terminal 100 .

In this case, the service module may mean an application in the form of a module inserted into an application installed in the user terminal 100 .

In addition, the service module may refer to an application that is executed by the control unit 150 of the user terminal 100 , is driven based on the operating system, and is installed in the user terminal 100 .

In addition, the service module is inserted (included) in the application installed in the user terminal 100, is installed together when the application is installed, and is included in the application (in-app: in application) may be configured as a subordinate application generated in a form dependent on the application based on the SDK (Software Development Kit).

Accordingly, the service module in the form of a dependent application generated based on the SDK is provided by being inserted into each of a plurality of different applications provided by the app store server (or included in the application), and the When one or more applications into which the service modules are inserted are downloaded from the app store server and installed in the user terminal 100, the control unit 150 stores the service module related data included in the application related data to the storage unit 130 , and when an application including the service module is installed in the user terminal 100 , the service module inserted into the application may be installed in the user terminal 100 together.

In the above configuration, the control unit 150 configured in the user terminal 100 may control the service module, and the operation of the service module and the application installed in the user terminal 100 is performed by the control unit 150 . It may be implemented (by the control of the controller 150 ). Accordingly, the operation of the service module and application described below may mean that the controller 150 executes and controls the service module and application.

When one or more applications in which a service module is inserted are installed in the user terminal 100, the control unit 150 converts any one of the service modules included in each of the one or more applications to a master module according to a criterion set in advance in the service module. can be set.

This is because, when a plurality of applications have the same service module, when the plurality of applications are all executed, a plurality of service modules perform mutually overlapping functions and conflict may occur. To prevent this, it is necessary to select a master do.

Accordingly, the control unit 150 selects any one service module as a master module corresponding to the master according to a preset criterion among one or more service modules for each application installed in the user terminal 100 according to a preset criterion, As the master election algorithm used for these preset criteria, a leader election algorithm used in a distributed system may be applied.

As described above, when the master module is set by the controller 150, the controller 150 may execute the master module in the background (S1).

In addition, the control unit 150 controls the master module to generate a Floating Action Button (FAB)-based shared handle on a standby screen that is executed based on the operating system of the user terminal 100 . can be controlled (S2).

In this case, the FAB-based shared handle described in the present invention may be configured as a button floating in a floating state on the screen, and provides functions, events, etc. based on the function defined in the service module. It may consist of widgets.

As an example of implementation of the FAB-based share handle, the FAB-based share handle may be configured in the form of an Android-based bubble. It can follow you wherever you go, and expand the bubble to give you the ability to view app features and information, as well as fold it up when not in use.

Also, the FAB-based shared handle is not limited thereto and may be configured in various widget types.

Accordingly, under the control of the control unit 150 , when the sharing handle is selected, the master module links the menus for various functions specified in the sharing handle with the sharing handle to display the display unit 140 of the user terminal 100 . ), and the location of the sharing handle may be changed on a standby screen provided by the operating system of the user terminal 100 according to a user input.

In this case, the standby screen (or desktop screen or home screen) is a screen provided by the operating system and may mean a screen on which a shortcut icon for executing an application installed in the user terminal 100 is displayed. have.

In addition, under the control of the control unit 150 , the master module generates an execution result including coordinate information on the final position when the position of the shared handle is changed, and is stored in a preset local storage of the user terminal 100 . It can be saved (S3).

In this case, under the control of the control unit 150, the master module may allocate and designate a local storage, which is a storage space for storing the execution result, in the storage unit 130 of the user terminal 100 upon initial execution. In addition, the execution result described in the present invention may be composed of data.

Also, if the existing execution result for the shared handle is stored in the local storage whenever the location of the shared handle is changed, the master module may update the existing execution result with the execution result including the final location.

Meanwhile, the user terminal 100 supports to maintain a user experience through a shared handle when an application is executed or an application to be executed is changed (when switching between applications), which will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4 .

As shown in FIG. 4 , according to a user input through the user input unit 120 of the user terminal 100 , the first application among the one or more applications installed in the user terminal 100 by the control unit 150 is When executed (S4), the first service module having the same configuration as the master module and installed together with the first application may transfer the control right of the shared handle to the main thread of the first application ( S5).

That is, the control unit 150 executes the first service module of the first application while executing the first application, and the first service module controls the shared handle so that the control right of the shared handle is subordinated to the first application. Sets the control right of the shared handle to the main thread.

As an example of such control authority transfer, when the first service module is executed by the control unit 150, the shared handle created by the master module is terminated, and the first service module creates the same shared handle as the master module. When the shared handle of the first service module is created, the local storage is accessed, the most recent execution result related to the shared handle stored in the local storage is extracted from the local storage, and the extracted latest execution result to set the control right of the shared handle to the main thread while synchronizing the shared handle (S6).

In addition, when the first application is executed by the control unit 150, the first application transfers the shared handle to the recent execution result through the main thread of the first application to which the control authority for the shared handle has been transferred. It is possible to move from the corresponding position (coordinates) to a predetermined position (coordinates) of the first interface that is the screen provided by the first application.

In this case, the first service module may process the shared handle to be used in a form dependent on the first interface, which is a user interface provided to the first application by the main thread.

That is, the control unit 150 controls the first service module of the first application being executed in the user terminal 100 for the execution result including the final position of the shared handle generated by the master module immediately before the first application is executed. By supporting this access, the first service module can incorporate the shared handle into the function of the running first application while automatically moving the shared handle to the area designated by the running first application.

Accordingly, the user can visually check the scene in which the share handle displayed on the standby screen through the master module moves from the final position on the standby screen to the position of the first interface provided by the first application according to the execution of the first application. This allows the shared handle to be displayed with continuity.

In addition, under the control of the controller 150, the first application displays an execution menu for at least one of a plurality of functions provided by the first application through a shared handle transferred to the main thread of the first application. It can be set in the shared handle through execution of the main thread, and the display unit 140 of the user terminal 100 is displayed by interlocking the execution menu with the shared handle based on a user operation on the shared handle according to a user input. can be displayed through

Also, the first application may be provided by executing a function selected from the execution menu.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5 , the first application is an advertisement including one or more advertisement contents from a first app server that is an app server preset in the first application according to the execution of the main thread including the sharing handle. Information may be received, and the advertisement information may be displayed through the display unit 140 of the user terminal 100 in association with the sharing handle.

For example, when the first application receives advertisement information from the first app server, it displays a pop-up message (A) for the corresponding advertisement information or links the pop-up message (A) with the sharing handle to the user terminal 100 ) can be displayed through the display unit 140 , and when a pop-up message A linked to the sharing handle is selected, advertisement information can be displayed through the display unit 140 of the user terminal 100 .

In this case, when the first app server is a shopping mall server selling products, the first application of the user terminal 100 transmits advertisement information including advertisement content for a personalized recommendation product to the user of the user terminal 100 . can be provided as

In addition, the first application generates a click on the advertisement content based on a user input for the advertisement content included in the advertisement information, accesses the access address linked to the advertisement content, or a web corresponding to the access address. When an advertisement conversion event related to advertisement conversion for advertisement performance (performance) such as product purchase through a page occurs, event occurrence information corresponding to the advertisement conversion event may be generated, and the event occurrence information may be set to the first It can be sent to the app server.

Accordingly, the first app server may generate compensation information for rewards such as points or coupons according to the event occurrence information, and use the compensation information as member information corresponding to user identification information included in the event occurrence information. can be accumulated in

In this case, the service server 200 that distributes a service module inserted into a first application communicating with the first app server may cooperate with the first app server to manage the reward information.

Accordingly, the first service module may determine whether an advertisement conversion-related event occurs according to the execution of the main thread of the first application, and generate the event occurrence information when the advertisement conversion event occurs, and the event occurrence information may be transmitted to the service server 200 .

Accordingly, the service server 200 may be configured to include a member DB 201 that stores member information about the user of the user terminal 100, and provides compensation information according to the event occurrence information to the first It is created instead of the app server, and the member DB 201 may accumulate rewards according to the reward information in member information corresponding to the event occurrence information.

In addition, since the plurality of applications installed in the user terminal 100 and the plurality of service modules respectively corresponding to each other are the same, each of the plurality of service modules includes one or more common functions such as a pedometer for recording the number of steps and a game. A menu may be set to provide such a common menu when each service module is executed, and the first service module displays the common menu together with the execution menu or separately from the execution menu when the execution menu is executed in a running state. When the common menu is selected through the sharing handle according to a user input, the common menu may be separately displayed.

Also, the first service module may execute a common function selected from the common menu and store an execution result including a processing result that is a result processed through the common function in the local storage.

For example, the first service module calculates the number of steps of the user when executing a pedometer function, which is a common function included in the common menu, and generates the result as a processing result, or when the game is executed, the user's score obtained according to the game progress may be generated as a processing result, and an execution result including the processing result may be stored in the local storage.

In this case, the first service module may update the execution result stored in the local storage based on the execution result most recently generated by the first service module.

In addition, the first service module updates the execution result stored in the local storage based on the coordinate information on the final location while checking (in real time) the final location of the shared handle controlled by the main thread of the first application. It can be done (S7).

In this case, the first application does not subordinate the shared handle to the first interface provided by the main thread through the main thread, but changes the location of the shared handle on the first interface screen according to the user's manipulation. The shared handle may be operated to make this possible, and accordingly, the first service module updates the (existing) execution result stored in the local storage based on coordinate information about the final location of the shared handle whose location is changed according to a user operation. can

Meanwhile, referring again to FIG. 4 , when the first application is terminated by the controller 150 , a standby screen is displayed through the operating system when the first application is terminated.

In addition, under the control of the controller 150, the master module operating in the background may confirm the termination of the first application by confirming the termination of the first application or by confirming the termination of the first service module (S8) ), the master module can synchronize the shared handle with the most recent execution result stored in the local storage while creating the shared handle on the standby screen (S9).

That is, when the master module is re-executed, it may process and display the shared handle generated by the master module as a result of the recent execution stored in the local storage.

As an example, the master module is the most recently updated by the first service module and based on the execution result stored in the local storage, the first service module on the standby screen to locate the shared handle in the last position recorded last. can

Also, the master module may synchronize the shared handle with a processing result generated through execution of a common function in the first service module.

For example, the master module displays a common menu based on a user input to the shared handle, and when the step function is executed in the common menu, the cumulative number of steps recorded by the first service module is added to the step function. may be set, and an operation may be performed so that the number of steps is added from the accumulated number of steps.

Alternatively, the master module sets an existing acquired score of the game progressed by the first service module to the game when a game is executed in the common menu, and the existing acquired score is acquired according to the game progress of the master module It can be calculated so that the scores are added.

At this time, the master module recognizes that the pedometer function has been executed and automatically adds the number of steps from the accumulated number of steps when the accumulated number of steps according to the pedometer function is included in the execution result stored in the local storage without displaying a separate common menu. can be calculated, and in this way, the calculation for the specific function included in the common menu can be automatically continued without execution according to a separate user input.

In addition, as described above, the master module recovers the control right of the shared handle from the first service module, and the execution result generated by the master module through a user input (user operation) on the shared handle Based on , the (existing) execution result previously stored in the local storage may be updated like the first service module.

Through this, the different service modules installed in the user terminal 100 mutually inherit the control authority of the shared handle and store the execution result through the shared handle, so that the user experience for the shared handle and the shared handle It can ensure the continuity of the unique functions it provides.

On the other hand, the second application installed in the user terminal 100 is different from the first application on the standby screen, which is an environment in which the share handle is controlled by the master module after the first application is terminated by the controller 150 by the control unit 150 . When this is executed, the second service module installed in the user terminal 100 together with the second application is executed.

In addition, under the control of the control unit 150, the operation of the second service module in the running state of the second application may operate the same as the first service module in the running state of the first application. have.

This is because the first service module inserted into the first application and the second service module inserted into the second application are the same.

For example, when a second application among the plurality of applications is executed by the controller 150 according to a user input through the user input unit 120 of the user terminal 100 , the same as the master module and the first service module The second service module having a configuration and installed together with the second application may transfer the control right of the shared handle to the main thread of the second application.

That is, the controller 150 executes the second service module of the second application while executing the second application, and the second service module enables the control right of the shared handle to be subordinated to the second application. Sets the control right of the shared handle to the main thread.

In this case, the operation process in which the second service module transfers the control right for the shared handle to the second application includes an operation process in which the first service module transfers the control right for the shared handle to the first application; same.

However, when the second application is executed by the controller 150, the second application is updated most recently and stored in the local storage through the main thread of the second application to which the control authority for the shared handle has been transferred. The sharing handle is moved from the location of the stored execution result to a location specified in the second interface, which is the screen provided by the second application. If the second interface is different from the first interface, the sharing handle is moved on the second interface. The final location of the first interface may be different from that of the first interface.

Accordingly, the second service module may process the shared handle to be used in a form dependent on the second interface, which is a user interface provided to the second application by the main thread of the second application, During the process of executing the second application after terminating the first application, the shared handle is regenerated by the first service module, the master module, and the second service module each time each service module is activated, but a local storage shared by each service module Based on the execution result stored in , the shared handle itself can be maintained on the screen provided by the operating system or application with continuity despite screen changes.

The occurrence information may be transmitted to the service server 200 .

In addition, the service server 200 may be configured to include a member DB 201 that stores member information for the user of the user terminal 100, and provides compensation information according to the event occurrence information to the second app. It is created instead of the server, and the member DB 201 may accumulate rewards according to the reward information in member information corresponding to the event occurrence information.

In addition, when the execution menu is executed while the second service module is also running, the common menu is displayed together with the execution menu, or when the common menu is selected through the sharing handle separately from the execution menu, the common menu is displayed separately can do.

In addition, when any one of a plurality of common functions included in the common menu is executed, the second service module sets a processing result corresponding to the executed common function from the recently updated execution results stored in the local storage, The result processed by the second service module may be accumulated and added to the recently updated processing result, and the execution result stored in the local storage may be updated based on the processing result processed by the second service module. can

In addition, the second service module may update the execution result stored in the local storage based on coordinate information on the final location while (real time) checking the final location of the shared handle controlled by the second application. .

In this case, the second application does not subordinate the shared handle to the second interface provided by the main thread of the second application through the main thread of the second application, and is positioned on the second interface screen according to the user's manipulation It may be operated to be changeable, and accordingly, the second service module may update the execution result stored in the local storage based on coordinate information on the final location of the shared handle whose location is changed according to a user operation.

Also, when the second application is terminated by the controller 150 , the master module may operate in the same manner as when the first application is terminated.

For example, when the second application is terminated, the master module processes the shared handle based on the last updated execution result of the local storage updated by the second service module during the execution of the second application. On the standby screen displayed through the display unit 140 of the user terminal 100, it may be displayed at a location according to the last updated execution result.
