For example, even when a call signal is received from the second terminal 100b, if a call is not connected between the first terminal 100a and the second terminal 100b, that is, The first terminal 100a may not transmit an event signal to the third terminal 100c when the communication between the first terminal 100a and the second terminal 100b is not performed.

On the other hand, the third terminal 100c can output information related to the first terminal 100a based on the reception of the event signal. Here, the information related to the first terminal 100a may be stored in advance in the third terminal 100c, and the third terminal 100c may store information related to the first terminal 100a, And can output the detected information on the display unit of the third terminal 100c.

On the other hand, the first terminal 100a can be assigned a plurality of IDs. Here, the ID is identification information capable of specifying the first terminal 100a, and the identification information (or ID) can be expressed by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). More specifically, such identification information may be either a Tell URI or an SIP URI. Accordingly, when the first terminal 100a has a plurality of IDs, a plurality of Tell URIs may be specified or a plurality of SIP URIs may be specified in the first terminal 100a. Furthermore, at least one Tell URI and at least one SIP URI may be specified in the first terminal 100a. When a plurality of Tell URIs are assigned to the first terminal 100a, the first terminal may have a plurality of telephone numbers corresponding to the plurality of IDs.

Meanwhile, when the first terminal 100a has a plurality of Tell URIs, the first terminal 100a may include a plurality of subscriber identity modules (SIM). That is, in this case, the first terminal 100a may include a dual SIM.

As described above, when the first terminal 100a has a plurality of IDs, the third terminal 100c transmits a call signal received or transmitted from the first terminal 100a to any one of the plurality of IDs , It is possible to output different information depending on whether or not it corresponds to the corresponding information.

That is, an event signal transmitted from the first terminal 100a to the third terminal 100c includes an ID corresponding to a call signal received or transmitted from the first terminal 100a among the plurality of IDs of the first terminal 100a, May be included. Information corresponding to different IDs may be stored in advance in the third terminal 100c. Therefore, the third terminal 100c can output information corresponding to the ID corresponding to the received event signal among the information corresponding to the different IDs.

Hereinafter, transmission of a call signal or an event signal between the first, second, and third terminals 100a, 100b, and 100c will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

First, as shown in FIG. 4, the call signal is transmitted between the first and second terminals 100a and 100b (S410). The first terminal 100a and the second terminal 100b can transmit a call signal through the 3G or 4G network described above.

Here, the first terminal 100a may receive a call signal from the second terminal 100b (S411) or may transmit a call signal to the second terminal 100b (S412). That is, the first terminal 100a can receive the call signal from the second terminal 100b or transmit the call signal to the second terminal 100b using the wireless communication unit.

When a call signal is transmitted between the first and second terminals 100a and 100b, the first terminal 100a transmits an event signal to the third terminal 100c (S420).

The event signal can be transmitted to the third terminal 100c only when a call is connected between the first terminal 100a and the second terminal 100b. For example, even when a call signal is received from the second terminal 100b, if a call is not connected between the first terminal 100a and the second terminal 100b, that is, The control unit of the first terminal 100a may not transmit the event signal to the third terminal 100c.

Meanwhile, as described above, when a plurality of IDs are assigned to the first terminal 100a, the controller of the first terminal 100a transmits to the event signal the ID of the plurality of IDs associated with which ID, May be included.

For example, when the first and second IDs are assigned to the first terminal 100a, if the call signal is a call signal related to the first ID, the first terminal 100a transmits the third terminal 100c, , It may transmit an event signal related to the first ID (S422). Alternatively, if the call signal is a call signal related to the second ID of the first and second IDs, the first terminal 100a may transmit an event signal related to the second ID to the third terminal 100c (S423).

In this way, the first terminal 100a determines which of the plurality of IDs the call signal associated with the second terminal 100b relates to, and transmits an event signal related to the determined ID to the third terminal 100c, Lt; / RTI >

If the first terminal 100a includes a plurality of IDs, if the first terminal 100a generates a call signal with respect to the second terminal 100b, the first terminal 100a transmits the generated call signal An event signal that does not include information on the corresponding ID can be transmitted first to the third terminal 100c. Then, the first terminal 100a may transmit information on the ID corresponding to the generated call signal among the plurality of IDs.

Meanwhile, the third terminal 100c may output information related to the first terminal 100a on the display unit in response to the event signal received from the first terminal 100a. Information output to the third terminal 100c may be variously implemented based on an event signal received from the first terminal 100a. Hereinafter, information output to the third terminal 100c will be more specifically described .

As described above, according to the present invention, the first terminal 100a receives a call signal from the second terminal 100b or transmits a call signal to the second terminal 100b, The first terminal 100a may transmit an event signal to the third terminal 100c so that information related to the first terminal 100a may be output to the third terminal 100c. Therefore, even if the user of the first terminal 100a can not use the display unit of the first terminal 100a due to the communication with the second terminal 100b, 3 terminal 100c to perform functions related to the first terminal 100a.

On the other hand, the first, second and third terminals 100a, 100b, and 100c described above can be named differently, if necessary. For example, when describing the second and third terminals 100b and 100c on the basis of the first terminal 100a, the first terminal 100a is referred to as a 'mobile terminal' 100a and the second terminal 100b for transmitting a call signal may be referred to as a 'mate terminal'. The third terminal 100c receiving the event signal from the first terminal 100a may be referred to as a 'shared terminal'.

The control method and the wireless communication unit of the mobile terminal may include receiving the call signal transmitted from the counterpart terminal through the wireless communication unit, The method comprising the steps of: identifying which of the plurality of IDs the call signal received from the counterpart terminal is associated with; wirelessly connecting to the counterpart terminal through the identified ID to respond to the received call signal; And transmitting the event signal corresponding to the identified ID to the shared terminal so that information corresponding to the identified ID is output to the display unit of the shared terminal.

Alternatively, when the first and second terminals 100a and 100b are described on the basis of the third terminal 100c, the third terminal 100c is referred to as a 'mobile terminal' The first terminal 100a transmitting the event signal to the terminal 100c may be referred to as a 'shared terminal'. The second terminal 100b transmitting the call signal to the first terminal 100a may be referred to as a 'counterpart terminal'.

In a case where the third terminal 100c is a mobile terminal, information related to the shared terminal is stored in the memory unit of the mobile terminal, and when the shared terminal is connected to the counterpart terminal, The control unit of the mobile terminal detects information corresponding to the event signal from the information, and outputs the corresponding information to the display unit of the mobile terminal.

As described above, the first, second and third terminals 100a, 100b and 100c may be named differently according to the situation, but in the present specification, the first, second and third terminals 100a, Even if the name is changed when describing it, the reference numerals will always be used identically. Therefore, even if the first, second, and third terminals 100a, 100b, and 100c have different names, the reference numeral 100a that identifies the first terminal as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, It is possible to easily understand which of the plurality of mobile terminals currently illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4 corresponds to the presently described mobile terminal through reference numeral 100b specifying the third terminal and reference numeral 100c specifying the third terminal will be.

Hereinafter, information output to the third terminal 100c in response to receiving an event signal to the third terminal 100c will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, the third terminal 100c is referred to as a mobile terminal, the first terminal 100a as a shared terminal, and the second terminal 100b as a counterpart terminal. 5A, 5B, 6A, 6B, and 7 are conceptual diagrams illustrating information output in response to receipt of an event signal according to a call signal in a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

5A, the mobile terminal 100c according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a display unit 151c for displaying an event signal corresponding to the event signal received from the shared terminal 100a, Can be output.

Information corresponding to the event signal may be stored in advance in a memory unit (not shown) of the mobile terminal 100c. In addition, information on what information is output to the mobile terminal 100c in response to the event signal may be included in the event signal.

For example, the information corresponding to the event signal may be an icon, a widget, or the contents itself of an application. Here, the contents may mean multimedia contents such as electronic documents, memos, images, and moving pictures. In addition, the information corresponding to the event signal may be at least one graphic object (or icon) that can be used to generate a control command (or control signal) related to the shared terminal 100a.

3 and 4, when a plurality of IDs are assigned to the shared terminal 100a, the mobile terminal 100c according to the present invention may include the event information received from the shared terminal 100a It is possible to output different screen information depending on which of the plurality of IDs corresponds to the corresponding ID.

For example, when the call signal 402 received from the counterpart terminal 100b shown in FIG. 5A and the call signal 408 received from the counterpart terminal 100b shown in FIG. Which are respectively received corresponding to different IDs. In this case, the shared terminal 100a may transmit different event signals 404 and 410 to the mobile terminal 100c, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B. Accordingly, the mobile terminal 100c can output different information 510 and 520 on the display unit 151c based on the different event signals 404 and 410, respectively.

In this case, the event signal may include a signal indicating which one of the plurality of telephone numbers of the mobile terminal is wirelessly connected to the counterpart terminal. As another example, it includes at least one of a plurality of SIM cards of the mobile terminal and a signal indicating which of the SIM cards is wirelessly connected to the counterpart terminal.

More specifically, the user may use the first ID to execute activities related to 'privacy' among the plurality of IDs, and the second ID may be used to execute the activities related to 'work'. 5A, in response to receipt of the event signal (or the first event signal) corresponding to the first ID, the display unit 151c of the mobile terminal 100c displays information related to privacy (for example, , Information corresponding to a function related to a messenger, a photo album, an SNS, or first information) can be output. 5B, in response to receiving the event signal (or the second event signal) corresponding to the second ID, on the display unit 151c of the mobile terminal 100c, information (e.g., Information corresponding to a function associated with a schedule, e-mail, or the like, or second information) can be output. At this time, the first and second pieces of information are displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal 100c by different graphical user interfaces (GUI).

Meanwhile, information to be output when the first event signal is received and information to be output when the second event signal is received may be stored in the memory unit of the mobile terminal 100c. Accordingly, the control unit of the mobile terminal 100c determines which ID among the plurality of IDs corresponds to the received event signal, and transmits information related to the ID corresponding to the event signal to the display unit Can be output.

Meanwhile, in the mobile terminal 100c according to the present invention, information related to each other between the shared terminal 100a and the counterpart terminal 100b can be output in response to receiving an event signal from the shared terminal 100a.

That is, the control unit of the mobile terminal 100c may output information (for example, history information) related to the function performed between the shared terminal 100a and the counterpart terminal 100b on the display unit.

Such related information may be included in the event signal received from the shared terminal 100a to the mobile terminal 100c. As another example, the mobile terminal 100c may receive the information of the counterpart terminal together with the event signal through the wireless communication unit.

Meanwhile, the control unit of the mobile terminal 100c may highlight the information related to the counterpart terminal 100b among the information 510 output in response to receiving the event signal from the shared terminal 100a. That is, the control unit transmits information related to the counterpart terminal 100b to the counterpart terminal 100b so that information related to the counterpart terminal 100b can be identified to the user, Can be displayed separately. Here, the highlighting may be performed through various visual methods such as changing the color of the area in which the related information is output, blinking, or changing the transparency.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, the control unit of the mobile terminal 100c may output information related to the counterpart terminal to the display unit. More specifically, when the information related to the counterpart terminal 100b is information on the application, the control unit of the mobile terminal 100c responds to the related information among the information 510 output in response to the event signal being received The icons 511, 512, and 513 of the application to be highlighted can be highlighted.

As another example, the information related to the counterpart terminal 100b may be related to the function performed by the counterpart terminal 100b with the counterpart terminal 100b. More specifically, a message window may be output to the mobile terminal 100c when the counterpart terminal 100b and the shared terminal 100a transmit and receive messages and the counterpart terminal 100b and the shared terminal 100a are connected to each other .

As another example, the control unit of the mobile terminal 100c may display information related to the counterpart terminal 100b in a separate area 600. [ The control unit divides (or divides) the screen display area of the display unit 151c into at least two areas so as to output the separate area 600, and in one area 610, And output the information 510 (see FIG. 6A) corresponding to the reception of the event signal in the other area 620. [0156] FIG. In this case, the control unit can reduce the display size of the output information 510 (see FIG. 6A) corresponding to the reception of the event signal so as to correspond to the size of the divided area (see 510 '). Also, although not shown, the control unit can use a pop-up window to output information related to the counterpart terminal 100b. In the pop-up window, the output position may be changed or the display may be terminated according to the user's selection.

Meanwhile, although not shown, the information related to the counterpart terminal 100b may be image and video audio information tagged by the user of the counterpart terminal. In addition, the information related to the counterpart terminal 100b may be a call log, conversation contents, message attachment, calling history, e-mail contents, e-mail count, calling history, etc. with the counterpart terminal.

The control method with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B is possible even when the shared terminal 100a has a single ID. Hereinafter, the present invention can be applied to a case where all of the shared terminals have a single identity (or a single telephone number) except for a case where a plurality of IDs are referred to.

Meanwhile, in the mobile terminal 100c according to an embodiment of the present invention, in response to the event signal being received from the shared terminal 100a, the information that was output before the call signal was received from the shared terminal 100a On the display unit 151. [0157] FIG. In this case, the event signal received from the shared terminal 100a to the mobile terminal 100 may be configured to indicate the function performed by the shared terminal 100a when receiving the call signal from the counterpart terminal 100b. When the event signal is received, information related to a function performed when the call signal is connected may be output to the display unit of the mobile terminal 100c. In addition, the event signal may include not only the function performed by the shared terminal 100a when receiving the call signal from the counterpart terminal 100b, but also information itself output through the function.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), while the information 710 corresponding to the photo album function is being output from the shared terminal 100a, as shown in FIG. 7 (b) When a call signal is received, information (720) related to the call may be output to the shared terminal (100a). As a result, information 710 corresponding to the photo album function output before the call signal is received is no longer output due to the information 720 related to the call, so that the user can view the information corresponding to the function There may be needs to continue to use the server 710.

7 (d), the control unit of the mobile terminal 100c determines whether or not the information that has been output before the call signal is received from the shared terminal 100a in response to the event signal being received The information 730 corresponding to the photo album function can be output on the display unit 151. [ As described above, the execution screen of the function performed at the time of receiving the call signal can be displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal 100c.

Accordingly, the user can continuously perform the functions performed by the shared terminal 100a through the mobile terminal while performing the communication, as shown in FIG. 7C.

As described above, in the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, in response to receiving a call in the shared terminal, the mobile terminal can receive the event signal and output information related to the received event signal. Here, the information related to the event signal may be information related to the shared terminal or the shared terminal and the counterpart terminal. In this manner, the user can use information related to the shared terminal through the mobile terminal while performing a call to the shared terminal. That is, the mobile terminal and the control method thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention can solve the problem that the display unit of any one of the mobile terminals can not be utilized as the call function is performed in any one of the mobile terminals.

Hereinafter, a method of outputting screen information corresponding to an event signal of a mobile terminal on a mobile terminal will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 8A, 8B, 8C, 9A, and 9B are conceptual diagrams illustrating a method of outputting information in response to receipt of an event signal according to a call signal in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As described above, in the mobile terminal 100c according to the present invention, information related to the event signal can be output based on the reception of the event signal from the shared terminal 100a. 8A, the mobile terminal 100c divides (or divides) the display portion 151c into a plurality of regions 810 and 820, divides the divided regions into a plurality of regions 810 and 820, So that different information can be output.

For example, the control unit of the mobile terminal 100c may output information related to the event signal to the first area 810 of the plurality of areas, It is possible to continuously output the information that has been outputted from the section 151c. At this time, the information displayed on the display unit may be reduced before the event signal is received in the second area 820.

On the other hand, the information that can be displayed in the plurality of areas may be different from each other in various combinations. For example, when a plurality of areas includes two areas, the combination of information that can be displayed in these two areas is one of i) information related to the event signal, and information on the display part 151c before the event signal is received (See FIG. 8A), ii) information (see FIG. 8B) related to the information and the event signal being output from the shared terminal 100a before the call signal is received at the shared terminal 100a, and iii) The information output from the shared terminal 100a and the information related to the event signal and the information (not shown) output from the display unit 151c before the event signal is received before the call signal is received at the terminal 100a ).

On the other hand, the size of the plurality of areas and the information displayed in each area can be changed based on the user's selection. Also, at least one of the plurality of regions may disappear based on the user's selection. In other words, in this case, the control unit can finish dividing the display unit 151c.

8C, the control unit of the mobile terminal according to the present invention may divide the display unit 151c into at least three areas 810, 820, and 830. In addition, Through this, the mobile terminal can receive the information related to the event signal and the information output from the display unit 151c before the event signal is received, (ii) before the call signal is received to the shared terminal 100a, 100a and information related to the iii) event signal (see Fig. 8B).

8A and 8B, when the event signal is received, the mobile terminal 100c according to the present invention may be configured such that i) immediately divides the display unit 151c into a plurality of areas, or ii) 4, as well as outputting information corresponding to the event signal, iii) outputting information corresponding to the event signal based on the user's selection, or displaying the display unit 151c in a plurality of areas It can be divided into compartments.

As an example, the control unit may output a graphic object (or icon, indicator 910), which is used to receive a control command for outputting information corresponding to an event signal, as shown in FIG. 9A have. In this case, even if an event signal is received from the shared terminal 100a, the information 920 output from the display unit 151c before the event signal is received can be continuously output to the display unit 151c.

9A, if the predetermined type of touch is applied to the graphic object 910, the control unit responds to the event signal in at least one area 930 of the display unit 151c Can be output.

Meanwhile, the predetermined type of touch for the graphic object 910 may be a dragging or flicking touch. As another example, the touch may be a double touch, a long touch, a short touch, or the like.

The controller 180 may adjust the size of the one area 930 according to the degree to which the graphic object 910 is dragged. The information output to the one area 930 may overlap with the information 920 displayed on the display unit 151c before the event signal is received. 9A, the information 920 'output on the display unit 151c before the event signal is received may be displayed in a reduced form depending on the size of the one area 930 have.

On the other hand, when a plurality of kinds of information that can be output to the mobile terminal 100c correspond to the event signal is received, as shown in FIG. 9B (a) Graphic objects 911 and 912 can be output.

I) the information related to the event signal, ii) the information output from the shared terminal 100a before the call signal is received in the shared terminal 100a, and iii) the shared terminal 100a, And the counterpart terminal 100b.

On the other hand, when a predetermined type of touch is applied to any one of the graphic objects 911 and 912 as shown in (a), (b) and (c) 151c in the at least one region (930) of the touch screen.

Hereinafter, when another event occurs in the shared terminal 100a while the information corresponding to the event signal received from the shared terminal 100a is being output on the mobile terminal 100c, Will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D illustrate a method of displaying information corresponding to a received event when an event is received in a mobile terminal located in a short distance in a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention It is a conceptual diagram.

According to the present invention, the mobile terminal 100c and the shared terminal 100a can continue to communicate through the PAN. In this case, the mobile terminal 100c can communicate with the shared terminal 100a through the PAN only when the shared terminal 100a is connected to the counterpart terminal 100b.

Since the mobile terminal 100a can continuously connect to the shared terminal 100a, when the event occurs in the shared terminal 100a, the mobile terminal 100c transmits event information corresponding to the generated event to the shared terminal 100a As shown in Fig. Here, the event may be an event in which a shared terminal 100a receives a message, a shared terminal 100a receives a call signal different from a call currently connected to the shared terminal 100a, or an application installed in the shared terminal 100a, or when a push message is received. For example, when the shared terminal 100a receives a message while the call connection with the counterpart terminal 100b is maintained, information related to the message is transmitted to the display unit 100c of the mobile terminal 100c, Lt; / RTI > Or when the shared terminal 100a receives another call signal while the call connection between the shared terminal 100a and the counterpart terminal 100b is maintained, Can be displayed on the display.

On the other hand, in the shared terminal 100a, only event information corresponding to an event corresponding to a predetermined type among the generated events can be transmitted to the mobile terminal 100c. For example, when an event is received in which the message is received or another call signal is received, the shared terminal 100a transmits the corresponding event information to the mobile terminal 100c, When an event in which a push message is received is generated, it may not transmit the corresponding event information to the mobile terminal.

Here, the event generated in the shared terminal 100a may be an event received from the counterpart terminal 100b connected to the shared terminal 100a. Further, the event generated in the shared terminal 100a may be an event received from the third terminal or the server, not the call-connected counterpart 100b.

Meanwhile, in the mobile terminal 100c according to the present invention, when event information is received from the shared terminal 100a, information corresponding to the received event information can be output. For example, when a message event is generated in the shared terminal 100a, the mobile terminal 100c can receive event information corresponding to the generated message event from the shared terminal 100a. As shown in FIG. 10A, the display unit 151c may output notification information 1010 indicating that an event has been received to the shared terminal 100a. Then, the control unit displays event information (for example, message content, 1020) corresponding to the received event on the display unit 151c as shown in FIG. 10A (b) It can be outputted to at least one area. On the other hand, if the notification information 1010 is not outputted, the control unit directly receives event information (for example, message content 1020) corresponding to the received event, as shown in FIG. 10A, And output it to at least one area of the display unit 151c. On the other hand, the position, output size, and end of output of the event information 1020 output in the at least one area may be determined or changed based on the user's selection.

Meanwhile, although not shown, when the generated event is a message reception event, the mobile terminal 100c can transmit a reply to the partner terminal of the message reception event based on the user's selection. In this case, the 'calling information' for the reply may include the identification information of the shared terminal 100a. That is, the mobile terminal 100c may include only the identification information of the shared terminal 100a as the 'outgoing information' for the reply, or may include identification information of the shared terminal 100a, identification of the mobile terminal 100c Information can be included together. If the shared terminal 100a has a plurality of IDs, the mobile terminal 100c determines the ID used for the call connection between the mobile terminal 100c and the counterpart terminal, and obtains information corresponding to the determined ID (for example, ) To the counterpart terminal.

In addition, the mobile terminal 100c can transmit the information corresponding to the reply to the shared terminal 100a. In this case, the final terminal that transmits the reply to the counterpart terminal may be the shared terminal 100a.

In addition, when at least a part of the contents corresponding to the event information corresponding to the received event can be processed in cooperation with the application, the control unit may cause the application related to the event information corresponding to the received event to be driven have.

For example, when the event information includes geographical information such as address information, the control unit executes a map function application to output a map corresponding to the geographical information, The execution screen information corresponding to the executed application can be output. In this case, execution screen information of the executed application may be related to the event information. For example, the corresponding information (e.g., a map) on the execution screen may be a map of an area corresponding to the address information included in the event information. Further, although not shown, as another example, when the event information includes URL information, the control unit can execute an application corresponding to the web browser function. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10B (a), the control unit can select whether to execute the related application from the user.

More specifically, when the shared terminal 100a receives a message while the call connection with the counterpart terminal 100b is maintained, information related to the message is transmitted to the display unit 100c of the mobile terminal 100c, And an execution icon is included in the information related to the message. In this case, when the execution icon is selected, the information corresponding to the event signal is switched to the execution screen of the function linked to the execution icon.

Meanwhile, as described above, when a plurality of IDs are assigned to the shared terminal 100a communicating with the mobile terminal 100c and an event is generated in the shared terminal 100a, the shared terminal 100a transmits the generated Identification information indicating which of the plurality of IDs the event corresponds to may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 100c together with the event information corresponding to the generated event. Here, the identification information may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 100c together with the event information.
