2A and 2B are conceptual diagrams for explaining an application execution space according to the present invention. 2A, a display device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may define an application execution space 200, which is a virtual area including a touch screen 190 area. The display device 100 can set coordinates for the entire application execution space 200. [ For example, the display device 100 can set a coordinate of 900 x 900 for the entire application execution space 200, and the coordinate value is set to a value of -300 to 600 for the x axis, A value between -300 and 600 can be set.

The display device 100 can divide the application execution space 200 into nine sub-spaces 201 to 209 and define them. The sub space 201 to 209 refers to a space in which a window for executing an application can be arranged. In the display device 100, not only one window but also a plurality of windows can be arranged on one sub space. The display apparatus 100 can define a first subspace 201 in which a value of -300 to 0 is set for the x axis and a value of 0 to 300 is set for the y axis. In addition, the display device 100 can set coordinate values for each subspace, and the setting results may be as shown in Table 1 below.

Subspace index x axis coordinate value range y axis coordinate value range One -300 to 0 300 to 600 2 0-300 300 to 600 3 300 to 600 300 to 600 4 -300 to 0 0-300 5 0-300 0-300 6 300 to 600 0-300 7 -300 to 0 -300 to 0 8 0-300 -300 to 0 9 300 to 600 -300 to 0

In each of the sub-spaces 201 to 209, at least one window for executing an application may be disposed. For example, a first window 210 executing an application B may be placed on the second subspace 202. In addition, a second window 211 for executing the application G and a third window 212 for executing the application H may be superimposed on the fourth subspace 204. A fourth window 213 for executing the application A may be arranged on the full screen on the fifth subspace 205. A fifth window 214 for executing the application C and a sixth window 215 for executing the application D may be arranged on the left and right in a split mode on the sixth sub space 206, respectively. The seventh window 216 for executing the application E and the eighth window 217 for executing the application F may be arranged on the eighth sub space 207 respectively in the upper and lower positions in the split mode. That is, the display apparatus 100 may arrange at least one window for executing an application in each of the sub-spaces 201 to 209. [

Here, the display device 100 may physically display one of the sub-spaces 201 to 209, e.g., the fifth sub-space 205, on the touch screen 190. [ More specifically, the display device 100 displays a fourth window 213 for executing an A application on the fifth subspace 205.

In addition, the display apparatus 100 may display a subspace other than the fifth subspace 205 based on the input display change gesture. For example, if the user enters a drag gesture to the right on the touch screen 190, the display device 100 may physically display the sixth subspace 206 on the touch screen 190. On the other hand, the controller 110 may reset the x-axis coordinate value of the area physically displayed on the touch screen 190 to 0 to 300, reset the y-axis coordinate value to 0 to 300, The coordinates of the remaining sub-spaces can also be reset. The configuration for changing and displaying the sub-space will be described later in more detail.

On the other hand, the control unit 110 can manage each of the sub-spaces 201 to 209 on a page basis. For example, when the user inputs the display change gesture from the fifth subspace 205 to the sixth subspace 206 as described above, the control unit 110 displays the display of the fifth subspace 205 And changes to the subspace unit, i.e., page unit, by the display of the sixth subspace 206. [ The control unit 110 may include a portion of the fifth subspace 205 and a sixth subspace 206 of the display change 206 to animatively represent the display change from the fifth subspace 205 to the sixth subspace 206 But it is impossible to definitively display an image in which a part of the fifth subspace 205 and a part of the sixth subspace 206 are mixed. This will be described later in more detail.

On the other hand, the control unit 110 can manage each of the sub-spaces 201 to 209 on a pixel-by-pixel basis without managing the pages. For example, when the user inputs a display change gesture from the fifth subspace 205 to the sixth subspace 206, the controller 110 displays the display of the fifth subspace 205 in the sixth subspace 206. [ Can be changed on a pixel-by-pixel basis by the display of the display unit 206. More specifically, the control unit 110 can change the x-axis range of the physically displayed coordinates from (0,300) to (1,301) and (2,302) one by one. According to the above description, an image in which a part of the fifth sub space 205 and a part of the sixth sub space 206 are mixed may be displayed on the touch screen 190. [ This will be described later in more detail.

In FIG. 2A, a coordinate of 900 x 900 is set for the entire application execution space 200, a coordinate value is set to a value of -300 to 600 for the x axis, and a value of -300 to 600 The coordinate value of the application execution space 200 of the present invention can be set to any value. In addition, the application execution space 200 of the present invention can determine the size of each sub-space, e.g., a page, according to the size of the physical display area, e.g., the touch screen 190. [

2B shows a case where the size of a physical display area in the application execution space 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention is 1024 x 640. Referring to FIG. 2B, one page may include a maximum size of 1024 x 640, such as reference numeral 250, and each page may include at least one or more And may be embodied so as to include at least one or more in the + direction and the - direction of the y axis. In the embodiment of the present invention, the size of the page is 1024 x 640 at maximum. However, the size of the application execution window may be larger or smaller depending on the size of the physical display area. The size of the page is not limited in size unless it exceeds the maximum size, and at least one application execution window may be placed on each page.

3 is a diagram illustrating a home execution space and an application execution space according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the terminal 100 may define the home execution space 300 and the application execution space 200 as separate areas, respectively. For example, the terminal 100 can set coordinates using the virtual space in the application execution space 200. As described in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the terminal 100 sets coordinates of a predetermined size for the entire application execution space 200 And the coordinate value (x, y) can be set to be distinguished from the home execution space 300.

The home execution space 300 may be a space in which the launcher 411 related to the home of the terminal 100 is executed and the launcher screen 310 is generated according to the execution of the launcher. A launcher is a home-related application, which is a home application that is distinct from a normal application. The launcher 411 is executed in the home execution space 300 when the terminal 100 is powered on and the launcher screen 310 by the launcher 411 is generated and displayed on the touch screen 190 . For example, the launcher screen 310 may include a home screen, which may include a wallpaper (wallpaper), shortcut icons for running frequently used applications, various menus, or thumbnail images of executable applications May be displayed. The home execution space 300 can be defined as one logical space and can be represented as a plurality of views 301 to 304 according to the size of the physical display area, that is, the touch screen 190, if necessary.

The application execution space 200 is a space in which an application is executed and an application execution window according to execution of the application is created. The application may be, but not limited to, a gaming application, a video playback application, a map application, a memo application, a broadcast application, a motion support application, a payment application, a photo editing application, and the like.

The application execution space 200 may include a plurality of sub-spaces, for example, a plurality of pages 221 to 229, which can independently execute a plurality of applications (App # 01 to App # n) The size of each of the plurality of pages may be the same as the size of the physical display area, i.e., the touch screen 190. In this case, Each of the plurality of pages 221 to 229 can display one application execution window or two or more application execution windows, i.e., a multi-window. At this time, three application execution windows 221-1, 221-2, and 222-3 may be displayed on one page, such as 221, and two application execution windows 222-1 , 222-3) may be displayed, and one application execution window 223-1 may be displayed on one page as shown at 223. At this time, the application execution space 200 may include a desktop (background screen) like the home execution space 300, and may be able to set a desktop according to user selection.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal 100 can switch display between pages in the application execution space 200, switch display between each view in the home execution space 300, The user can switch from the page to the view of the home execution space 200.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 110 may include a framework for processing the application execution space 200 and the home execution region 300.

4 is a conceptual diagram for explaining an application framework according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, the application framework 400 performs processing of the application execution space 20 and the home execution space 300 according to an event input by a user. The application framework 400 may include an event handler 410, an application manager module 420, and a window manager module 430.

When the user inputs a display change event in the application execution space 200, the event handler 410 detects the display change event. For example, if the display change event is for screen scrolling, the event handler 410 may generate a spatial movement event as much as the scrolled delta and deliver it to the application manager module 420. The application manager module 420 serves as an interface for transferring the information transferred from the application to the window manager module 430. For example, when the user inputs a predetermined user gesture such as Flick in the application mode, the application manager module 420 transmits movement length information for moving the application by the movement length corresponding to the flick input to the window manager module 430).

The application manager module 420 accesses the window manager module 430 directly to transfer the data received from the application and receive the result from the application. For example, the movement length information received from the event handler 410 to the window manager module 430 to notify the application that the application has been moved and allow the window manager module 430 to move the application by the movement length.

The window manager module 430 manages the location information of the application, and manages the page and the location information of each application.

The display operation using the home execution space 300 and the application execution space 200 can be performed using the application framework 400 as described above.

FIG. 5A is a view for explaining a method of executing an application in the home execution space 300 according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5B is a diagram for explaining a method of executing an application in the home execution space 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention Fig. 5A and 5B, the display apparatus 100 determines whether an application execution event by a user is generated in a state where the launcher screen 310 using the home execution space 300 is displayed (S510)

The display device 100 can execute the application according to the occurrence of the application execution event by the user in a state where the launcher screen 310 using the home execution space 300 is displayed. The launcher screen 310 can be distinguished into a plurality of views 11, 12 and 13 if it has one view corresponding to the physical touch screen 190 size or a size larger than the touch screen size 190 , One view 11 of the plurality of views may be displayed on the touch screen 190.

At this time, the user generates an application execution event using an icon for executing an application in the view 11 of the launcher screen 310, or selects an application from a list of recently executed applications (recent apps) Or an application execution event may be generated by selecting an application on a predetermined tray.

When the application execution event occurs in the home execution space 300, the display apparatus 100 executes the application A1 in the application execution space 200 (S520). Then, the display apparatus 100 displays the application execution space A page 260 including an application execution window 262 is generated and displayed on the display unit 200 (S530)

6A and 6B are conceptual diagrams illustrating an application execution process in the launcher screen 310 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

6A, when an icon 602 corresponding to an application to be executed by a user is touched on the generated and displayed launcher screen 310 using the home execution space 300, May be executed and a page 260 including the application execution window 262 may be generated.

6B, an icon corresponding to an application to be executed by the user on the launcher screen 310 generated and displayed using the home execution space 300 is displayed in a predetermined direction (e.g., up, down, left, right Direction, etc.), the corresponding application is executed in the application execution space 200 and a page 260 including the application execution window 262 can be generated. In the embodiment of the present invention, when the icon 602 is touched and dragged upward, the application is executed in a space corresponding to the upward direction of the application execution space 200. [

The recent application list 312 may be arranged in the order in which recently executed applications are executed, or pages generated according to recently executed applications may be arranged in order. In FIG. 7, an example in which recent pages are arranged in order will be described. Each page may include an application name and a thumbnail for one or more application execution windows executed.

7, a page 2001 including a name 701-1 and a thumbnail 701-2 corresponding to a calculator application execution window and a name 2001 of a Gallery application execution window and a video player application execution window 702 -1,702-3 and a page 2002 including the thumbnails 702-2 and 702-4 and a page 2003 including the name 703-1 and thumbnail 703-2 of the S Note application execution window ) Is included in the recently executed application list.

At this time, the application execution window of each page is displayed in the application name or in the application name such that the border or underline and the color or size of the thumbnail are displayed together with the application name, Display method and the like may be displayed differently. For example, a name of an application in a running state may be displayed in a first color, and a name of an application in a finished state may be displayed in a second color. In addition, a border displayed in an application name or a thumbnail in a running state may be displayed in a first color, and a border displayed in an application name or a thumbnail in a finished state may be displayed in a second color. For example, in FIG. 7 (a), the page 702 is configured such that application names 702-1 and 702-3 are displayed in the application window 701 and page 703, respectively, Are displayed differently from the names 701-1 and 703-1.

When a thumbnail of an application in the resume state is selected by a user by touch input or the like, a page including the application execution window is generated and displayed using the application execution space 200. [ When a thumbnail of the application in the pause state is selected by the user by touch input or the like, a new page is created using the application execution space 200 and the corresponding application execution window is included in the generated page. At this time, the pause state on the recent application list 312 is changed to appear as a resume state.

For example, when a thumbnail 702-2 of the Gallery application execution window included in the page of reference numeral 702 is touched by the user in FIG. 7, the page 260 including the corresponding Gallery application execution window 262 is displayed in the application execution space 200). At this time, the Video Player application execution window 264 included in the page 260 may be displayed together.

On the other hand, the pages included in the recent application list 312 may be moved and displayed according to the scroll request of the user. At this time, the scroll request may be made according to the left drag or the right drag input and the upper drag or the lower drag input. In the embodiment of the present invention, the case where the application list 312 is moved according to the left and right drag input will be described.

7, when the user touches the screen and drags the screen to the left, the recent application list 312 is moved to the left as shown in FIG. 7, and the page 701 located on the left disappears and the next page 704 ) May be displayed. 7, when the user touches the screen and drags the screen to the right, the recent application list 312 is moved to the right, the page 703 located on the right side disappears, and the previous page 705 in the left direction is displayed have.

Accordingly, the user can easily check and control the pages in the application execution space 200 in the home execution space 300 by using the recent application list 312. [

8A to 8D are conceptual diagrams illustrating an application execution process from a tray according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 8A, the display device 800 displays a first window 801 executing the first application A (A). On the other hand, the display device 800 can display the tray call button 810 in the left half of the first window 801. The tray call button 810 has a semicircular shape, which means that when the user touches the tray, the tray is opened to the right, so that the user can intuitively understand the tray. However, those skilled in the art will readily understand that the shape of the tray call button 810 is not limited. The user can call the tray by touching the tray call button 810 or by inputting the drag gesture 811 to the right. The tray call button 810 may be named more generally as an application list call button because it invokes an application list.

8B is a conceptual diagram illustrating the called tray. In response to a tray call command such as touch or drag of a tray call button, a control unit (not shown) controls the tray 820 to display a list of executable applications. A control unit (not shown) controls the display of executable application thumbnail images 821, 822, 823, and 824 on the tray 820. The control unit (not shown) may control the entire application stored in the storage unit (not shown) to be displayed on the tray 820. Alternatively, the control unit (not shown) may check the properties of the stored application and may control to display an application capable of operating in the multi-window mode on the tray 820. [ The tray 820 may also be more generally named an application list.

The user can input the drag gesture 830 to the area 835 to be executed after touching the application to be executed, for example, the fifth application E, for example. 8C, when a user inputs a drag gesture 830 to an area 835 to be executed, the control unit (not shown) displays an area in which the application can be executed correspondingly to the first window 801, And a color or brightness different from the color or brightness. Accordingly, the user can confirm what kind of window is to be displayed in the area 835 to be executed before finally executing it, and this configuration can be called a ghost-view.

The user can interrupt the drag input 830 in the area 835 that is to be executed. The gesture described above may also be referred to as drag and drop. When the area 835 to be executed is determined, the display device 800 reduces the first window 841 in which the first application A is executed to the upper half as shown in FIG. 8D, and displays the fifth application E ) Is executed is displayed in the bottom half of the fifth window 842. [ As described above, displaying the two windows 841 and 842 so as not to overlap each other is referred to as a split mode, which will be described later in more detail.

9A and 9B are conceptual diagrams for explaining the freestyle mode and the split mode.

9A is a conceptual diagram for explaining a freestyle display mode.

As shown in FIG. 9A, the display device 900 includes a touch screen 910. A plurality of windows 911 and 912 are displayed on the touch screen 910. In addition, a lower bar 920 is displayed on the lower side of the touch screen 910. As described above, the display mode in which the plurality of windows 911 and 912 can be displayed superimposed on each other based on the respective display ranks can be referred to as a freestyle mode.

The window may be an area including a title bar and a control area for an execution screen of a specific application and an application to be executed. On the execution screen of the application, objects related to the application can be displayed. The object can be formed in various shapes such as text, graphic, icon, button, check box, photograph, video, web, map and the like. When a user touches an object, the object can be performed in an application corresponding to a predetermined function or event. The object may be referred to as a view depending on the operating system. The title bar may include at least one control key for controlling the display of the window. For example, the control key may be a window display minimization button, a window display maximize button, and a window exit button.

Meanwhile, the applications are programs independently implemented by the manufacturer of the display device 900 or application developers. Accordingly, one application does not require another application to be executed in advance to be executed. Even if one application is terminated, another application can be continuously executed.

The application is a program implemented independently of each other. Therefore, a multi-function application (or a dual-function application) in which some functions (memo function, message transmission / reception function) provided by another application are added in one application (for example, Application). However, such a multifunctional application is a single new application that has various functions and is different from existing applications. Accordingly, the multi-function application can not provide various functions as in existing applications, and not only provides limited functions, but also has a burden to the user to purchase the new multi-function application separately.

On the other hand, the control unit 110 controls the plurality of windows 911 and 912 to be partially overlapped and displayed. The control unit 110 can set a display order for each of the plurality of windows 911 and 912. For example, the control unit 110 can set the first display order for the window 911 and the second display order for the window 912. For example, Accordingly, the control unit 110 displays a window 911 having a relatively high display order so as to cover the window 912. Of the window 912 areas having a relatively low display rank, portions overlapping with the window 911 having a relatively high display rank are not displayed.

The control unit 110 can set the highest display order to the window in which the control event is most recently inputted. For example, when the user touches the window 911, the control unit 110 sets the highest display order to the window 911. [

FIG. 9B is a conceptual diagram of a display device for explaining a split mode. FIG.

9A shows an example in which two applications are displayed on the main display screen 910 in the split mode. When a user executes a plurality of applications, a control unit (not shown) may execute a plurality of applications simultaneously and display the split screen on the main screen 910. [

In the split mode, the first window 940 and the second window 950 may be displayed on the main screen 910 without overlapping each other. 9B, the first window 940 is displayed in the left half of the main screen 910, and the second window 950 is displayed in the left half of the main screen 910 in a state where the main screen 910 is divided into two. And may be displayed on the right half of the screen 910. The first window 940 and the second window 950 share a common boundary line 970 and are arranged adjacent to each other, but are not overlapped with each other. The common boundary line 970 is located between the first window 940 and the second window 950.
