3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of executing an application on a standby screen in which a lock is set in the communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the controller first sets a lock on the idle screen (S31). The lock may be set by executing a lock setting application program stored in a storage unit by a user's input setting. The standby screen with the lock set performs a full touch lock function of the touch screen so that the terminal does not operate at any external touch in the standby mode in the mobile communication terminal having the touch screen.

Next, when the controller detects that the quick execution signal for executing the predetermined application is input through the touch screen (S33), the controller executes the predetermined application according to the quick execution signal input (S35). Accordingly, the predetermined application execution screen is displayed on the touch screen. Here, the quick execution signal is a signal generated by each operation by an external input object on the touch screen to execute each predetermined application. In addition, the quick execution signal may be generated through a hot key of a user input unit.

The predetermined application may be an application that performs a message function or a music listening function frequently used by a user. A detailed embodiment of generating a predetermined quick execution signal for executing a predetermined application will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4.

Although not shown, the controller may set the standby screen of the mobile communication terminal to the locked state again when the predetermined application is terminated by the predetermined quick execution signal.

Therefore, since the user can execute a predetermined application (message module or music listening module) by a predetermined touch input on the standby screen on which the lock is set, the user can easily execute the desired application.

As shown in FIG. 4, the controller executes the lock setting application program stored in the storage unit according to the user's input setting and displays the standby screen 400 on which the lock is set on the touch screen. The user generates a quick execution signal for executing a predetermined application by operating the external input object on the touch screen while the standby screen on which the lock is set is displayed on the touch screen. Here, the user may generate the first quick execution signal by touching the external input object (the finger here) at a certain speed on the touch screen and dragging the external input object (eg, a finger) at a predetermined speed by a predetermined distance in the left direction. When the controller receives the first quick execution signal, the controller may execute a first application set in advance and display the first application execution screen 500 on the touch screen. The first application may be any one of a message module, a music listening module, and the like, which are frequently used by a user.

Next, the user may generate the second quick execution signal by touching the external input object (here, a finger) at an arbitrary point on the touch screen and dragging the external input object at a predetermined speed in a right direction (610). When the controller receives the second quick execution signal, the controller may execute a preset second application and display the second application execution screen 600 on the touch screen. The second application may be any one of a message module, a music listening module, and the like, which are frequently used by a user.

That is, the first or second quick execution signal may be generated by flicking in the left or right direction by the external input object. Although the generation of the quick execution signal has been described as an example of a flicking operation by an external input object, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be generated by a predetermined touch input or a preset touch gesture.

5 and 6 are image diagrams of a mobile communication terminal showing a method of executing an application for performing a music listening function without releasing a lock according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in (a) of FIG. 5, the user generates the first quick execution signal by flicking an external input object (a finger here) to the left on the touch screen on which the standby screen 400 with the lock is set. Let's do it. The control unit receives the first quick execution signal and executes a preset first application (here, the music listening module) to display a first application execution screen 500 including music play icons on the touch screen (see FIG. 5). (b)). Here, the music played by the first application execution may be set and played by a music list that the user finally listened to. When the user touches the music list icon 511 displayed on the first application execution screen while listening to music, the controller displays the music list 512 stored in the storage unit on the touch screen (FIG. 5C). )Reference).

Accordingly, the user can listen to the music he / she finally listened to by flicking in the left direction on the touch screen on which the standby screen with the lock is set, and can conveniently listen to the desired music by selecting a music list.

As shown in FIG. 6A, in a state in which the first application execution screen 500 including music play icons is displayed on the touch screen, the user moves an external input object (here, a finger) upward on the touch screen. The flickering 530 generates a home screen change signal. Upon receiving the home screen change signal, the controller releases the lock and displays the home screen 700 including at least one execution menu (application) icon on the touch screen (see FIG. 6B). Here, the generation of the home screen change signal has been described as an example of a flicking operation by an external input object. However, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be generated by a predetermined touch input or a preset touch gesture.

Therefore, the user can change the screen on the touch screen to the home screen by flicking one upward direction on the touch screen on which the first application execution screen is displayed, thereby immediately executing various applications desired by the user.

As shown in (a) of FIG. 7, the user generates a second quick execution signal by flicking an external input object (a finger here) to the right on a touch screen on which the lock-set digital screen 400 is displayed. Let's do it. The controller receives the second quick execution signal and executes a preset second application (here, a message module) to display the second application execution screen 600 on the touch screen (see FIG. 7B).

Here, if there is a received message, so that the user can immediately reply to a recently received message, the control unit includes a second application execution screen including a reception number, a received message window 620 and a message input window 630 ( 600) is displayed on the touch screen. After the user inputs contents to be sent, the user may directly send a text message by touching the send icon 640. Although not shown, the control unit may control the standby screen of the mobile communication terminal to the lock setting state again after the text message is transmitted.

Therefore, the user can conveniently reply to a recently received message by flicking in the right direction on the touch screen on which the lock screen is set.

As shown in FIG. 8A, a user generates a second quick execution signal by flicking an external input object (a finger here) to the right on a touch screen on which a lock screen of the idle screen 400 is displayed. Let's do it. The controller receives the second quick execution signal and executes a preset second application (here, a message module) to display the second application execution screen 600 on the touch screen (see FIG. 8B).

In this case, when there is no received message, the controller executes a second application including a reception number input window 650, a phone number search icon 651, and a message input window 630 so that the user can transmit a new message to the other party. The screen 600 is displayed on the touch screen. The user can input the phone number of the other party using the phone number search icon 651 in the reception number input window 650. After inputting the contents to be sent, the user can directly touch the send message 640 by text message. Can transmit Although not shown, the control unit may control the mobile communication terminal to the lock screen setting state again after the text message is transmitted.

Therefore, the user can conveniently compose and send a new message by flicking in the right direction on the touch screen on which the lock screen is set.

As shown in FIG. 9A, when the control unit receives a second quick execution signal generated by an operation of right-side flicking 610 on the touch screen on which the standby screen 400 with the lock is set, the control unit receives a second quick execution signal. The application (here, the message module) is executed to display the message list screen 900 on the touch screen. The user can check the content of the message received so far using the message list screen 900.

Next, as shown in FIG. 9B, in a state where the message list screen 900 is displayed on the touch screen, the user flicks an external input object (here, a finger) upward on the touch screen 710. Generate a home screen change signal. Upon receiving the home screen change signal, the controller releases the lock and displays the home screen 700 including various execution menu (application) icons on the touch screen (see FIG. 9C). Here, the generation of the home screen change signal has been described as an example of a flicking operation by an external input object. However, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be generated by a predetermined touch input or a preset touch gesture.

Therefore, the user can change the screen on the touch screen to the home screen by flicking one upward direction on the touch screen on which the second application execution screen is displayed, thereby immediately executing various applications desired by the user.
