As shown in FIG. 3, first, the controller 120 of the portable terminal 100 checks whether a command for receiving contents in real time is registered when the portable terminal 100 is opened by a user. As a result of the check, when a command for receiving content is not registered in real time, the controller 120 determines whether the user requests registration to receive content in real time (S100).

As a result of the determination in step S100, when the user requests a registration to receive content in real time, the controller 120 performs a registration routine to receive content in real time through a background screen (S110). That is, the registration routine first outputs a guide message for confirming what content is to be provided to the user in real time, and registers the input content as content provided in real time in response to the message. In this case, at least one or more contents may be selected, and when the registration is completed by the user, the controller 120 when the portable terminal 100 opens the information input by the registration routine as described above in the storage 110. It is stored in the area to be read first.

Referring to another embodiment of the registration routine, the first registration routine outputs a guide message so that the control unit 120 allows the user to select at least one or more contents, and the content selected by the user in response to the guide message. Is stored in the storage unit 110 when the online connection with the content providing server 600 is made, the content stored in the storage unit 110 is received in real time from the content providing server 600 in a predetermined time This is a routine that causes the image to be displayed instead of the background in a rotation manner. At this time, the predetermined time is a time set or preset by the user.

In the second registration routine, the controller 120 inputs a condition under which the user can receive the content in real time, and sets a condition for providing the content in real time so that the user can receive the content in real time without any additional manipulation. Routine that allows output to be displayed instead of the screen. In this case, the condition input by the user includes at least one or more of an online connection time with the content providing server 600, an online connection count, an online connection holding time, and a type of content to be provided in real time.

On the other hand, if the user does not make a registration request to receive the content in real time as a result of the determination of step S100, the control unit 120 provides a service requested by the user.

As described above, the controller 120 of the portable terminal 100 set to output the contents provided in real time from the content providing server 600 by the registration routine as a background screen is then opened by the user. If it is determined whether there is a content request command to receive the content in real time in the storage unit 110 (S120).

As a result of the determination in step S120, when there is a content request command, when the controller 120 transmits a content request command through the transmitter 160 and the duplexer 140, the content request command is an antenna, a base station 200, a base station. The content is transmitted to the content providing server 600 through the controller 300, the switch 400, and the wireless data communication network 500, and the content transmitted in response to the content request command is transmitted in the reverse order to the portable terminal 100. Instead of the background screen of the display unit 180 through the video signal processing unit 190 of the output in real time (S140).

On the other hand, if the registration request for receiving the content in real time by the user as a result of the determination of the step S120 process, the control unit 120 outputs a preset image as a background screen and provides the service requested by the user .

In addition, the controller 120 determines whether a request signal for stopping the output of the contents provided in real time by the user on the screen is input (S150). When the stop request signal is input as a result of the determination, the control unit 120 cuts off the connection line connected to the content providing server 600 online and controls the entire system so that the content is no longer received (S160).

The request signal for stopping the output of the content on the screen is a signal recognized by the controller 120 when the user closes the folder of the portable terminal 100 or presses a predetermined specific button. At this time, the control unit 120 disconnects the connection line connected to the content providing server 600 online, but the content output screen previously output as the background screen can be maintained as it is.

On the other hand, when the content stop request signal is not input as a result of the determination in step S150, the controller 170 determines whether a signal for releasing the content request command registered to receive the content in real time is input (S170).

As a result of the determination in step S170, when a command for releasing a registered content request command is input, the controller 120 deletes the content request command stored in the storage unit 110 to provide content in real time. The item is released (S180).

On the other hand, if a command for releasing a registered content request command is not input as a result of the determination of step S170, the controller 120 repeats the step S140 to provide the content on the display unit 180 in real time. To control.

Of course, the routines of the steps S170 and S180 are routines that can be performed not only by the above procedure but also at the moment when the user wants to receive any service using the portable terminal 100.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art, which are included in the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.

As described above, the present invention achieves the effect of being connected to the wireless data communication network online according to the user's operation to receive the content in real time, and to output the received content to the background screen of the portable terminal in real time. .
