Description
The present invention relates to an idle screen update notification system and method, and more particularly, to an idle screen update notification system and method for notifying generation of update information through an idle screen when update information for an area other than the idle screen area is generated.
More specifically, when update information of a widget that is not included in the idle screen is generated, a widget update notification message is displayed on the idle screen of the mobile terminal to update the idle screen for notifying the mobile terminal user that the update information of the widget exists. A notification system and method.
In a general communication system, a mobile terminal has evolved into a device capable of providing various additional services as well as a voice call service between existing users. Accordingly, mobile terminal users can use various additional functions such as wireless internet and broadcasting service as well as simple voice calls. As various functions are implemented in the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal is gradually evolving in design, performance, and size. In particular, the display of the mobile terminal has greatly increased display performance such as resolution and size.
Among the screens displayed through the display unit of the mobile terminal, the standby screen is a screen provided when the user first boots the mobile terminal and is a screen displayed on the mobile terminal without any key input. Currently, the standby screen displays an image, text, time, date, etc. set by the user, and is the screen which is accessed the most times by the mobile terminal user.
In addition to the diversification of functions provided through the mobile terminal, there has been an increase in the demand for interfacing various application programs supported internally or externally through the standby screen.
As a result, various functions are developed / added to meet these demands. Therefore, the mobile terminal tends to perform an interface with an application by displaying a widget that can interface with a user in association with each application on an idle screen.
These widgets may be displayed on the idle screen. When the widget is included in the idle screen as described above, when update information of the corresponding widget is generated, it is possible to provide update information through the idle screen of the mobile terminal.
However, when the widget is not included in the idle screen, there is a problem in that the mobile terminal user cannot be notified that there is update information of the widget.
More specifically, in the case of a multi-panel standby screen service that provides multiple panels on the standby screen, when an update occurs in a widget or content set on a screen that the user does not see, the current standby screen is displayed. There was no way to automatically check the fact that the update occurred on the screen other than the screen set by the user because there is no way to notify the user, there was a problem that must be manually confirmed manually.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a standby screen update notification system and method for notifying that there is update information of a widget that is not included in various idle screens.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a widget server for transmitting a generated update information to a mobile terminal when update information of a widget is generated, and the update information is received when the update information is received. Check whether a widget corresponding to the widget is included in the standby screen, and if the widget corresponding to the update information is a widget included in the standby screen, the update information is displayed on the standby screen, and if the widget is not included in the standby screen, the widget It includes a mobile terminal for displaying a widget update notification message on the idle screen to notify that the update information of the.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, an idle screen update notification device includes: a communication unit configured to receive update information of a widget; and when the update information is received, a widget corresponding to the update information is included in the idle screen; If the widget corresponding to the update information is a widget included in the idle screen, the update information is displayed on the idle screen, and if the widget is not included in the idle screen update notification for notifying that the update information of the widget exists A widget management unit for extracting information, an update notification message generation unit for generating a widget update notification message using the update notification information, and a display unit for displaying the widget update notification message on the standby screen.
According to the present invention for achieving the above object, in the standby screen update notification method, when the update information of the widget is received, checking whether a widget corresponding to the update information is included in the idle screen, and corresponding to the update information. Displaying the update information on the idle screen when the widget is a widget included in the idle screen; and generating a widget update notification message from the update information when the widget corresponding to the update information is not included in the idle screen. Extracting update notification information, generating a widget update notification message using the update notification information, and displaying the widget update notification message on a standby screen.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a recording medium in which a program for notifying an idle screen update is recorded, when receiving update information of a widget, checking whether a widget corresponding to the update information is included in the idle screen; If the widget corresponding to the update information is a widget included in a standby screen, displaying the update information on a standby screen; and if the widget corresponding to the update information is a widget not included in a standby screen, the widget from the update information A program for extracting update notification information for generating an update notification message, generating a widget update notification message using the update notification information, and displaying the widget update notification message on a standby screen; Is recorded.
According to the present invention, when update information of a widget that is not included in the idle screen is generated, the widget update notification message is displayed on the idle screen of the mobile terminal. Has In addition, there is an advantage that it is possible to notify the update information of the widget included in the idle screen through the idle screen.
Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that in the following description, only parts necessary for understanding the operation according to the present invention will be described, and descriptions of other parts will be omitted so as not to distract from the gist of the present invention.
