Hereinafter, a method of controlling a terminal operation according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a flow of a method of controlling an operation of a terminal according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, it is assumed that the group creator that wants to create a group is A, the participants are B, C, D, and E, and the group name generated by the group creator is 'control group 1'. It is also assumed that the members of control group 1 (A, B, C, D, E) are students of the same grade.

First, the terminal 110 of the group creator A sends to the policy server 200 the policy setting information "1:00 to 3:00 chat application function lock" and the terminal information of the participants B, C, D, The request can be transmitted (S310).

When the policy server 200 receives the group creation request, the policy server 200 transmits the policy setting information of the control group 1 to the terminal 120 of the participants B, C, D, and E who want the group creator A to participate as a member of the control group 1, 1 to 3 < rd > chat application function lock " (S321).

The participant B, C, D, and E confirm the policy setting information included in the group join approval request received by the terminal 120, and if they wish to join the control group 1, they join the group through the participant terminal 120 To the policy server 200 (S323).

The policy server 200 may generate the control group 1 upon receiving the group join approval from the terminals 120 of all the participants B, C, D, and E (S330).

In this manner, when the policy server 200 generates the control group 1, the policy server 200 transmits "1" to the terminals 110 and 120 of the power source of the members A, B, C, D and E of the control group 1 Quot; 3 < rd > chat application function lock " (S340).

The operations of the terminals 110 and 120 of the members of the control group 1 that have received the policy setting information can be controlled according to the policy setting information. That is, when the time detected by the terminal becomes 1, the operation of the chat application is locked, and the lock of the chat application operation can be continued until the time detected by the terminal becomes 3:00.

Thereafter, a policy change request may be received from any of the group creator terminal 110 and the plurality of participant terminals 120 included in the generated group (control group 1) (S340). 3 shows a case where a policy change request is received from the group creator terminal 110.

The policy server 200 receiving the policy change request transmits a policy setting information change permission request including the new policy setting information included in the received policy change request to the group creator terminal 110 and the participant terminal 120 (S351).

The group creator and the participant receiving the policy change approval request can confirm the new policy setting information included in the received policy change approval request and approve the change of the policy setting information if they agree to the new policy setting information.

When the policy server 200 receives approval to change the policy setting information from the group creator terminal 110 and the participant terminal 120 in step S363, the policy server 200 transmits the policy setting information set for the group to a new policy setting (S370), and transmits the updated policy setting information to the group creator terminal 110 and the participant terminal 120 (S380). Accordingly, the group creator terminal 110 and the participant terminal 120 are updated according to the updated policy setting information The operation of the participant terminal 120 can be controlled.

In the case of the above example, when the group creator A wants to change the policy setting information "1:00 to 3:00 chat application function lock" to "1:00 to 3:00 chat application and phone function lock", the group creator The policy server 200 can request the policy server 200 to change the policy setting information including the policy setting information "1:00 to 3:00 chat application and phone function lock" to be changed through the terminal 110, Includes the policy setting information "1:00 to 3:00 chat application and telephone function lock" to be changed to the terminals 110 and 120 of the member power sources A, B, C, D and E of the control group 1 It is possible to request permission to change the policy setting information. When the approval of the change is received from the terminals 110 and 120 of the members A, B, C, D and E of the group 1, If the information is "Quot; 1: 00-3 < / RTI > to 3 < rd > chat application and phone function lock "

When the updated policy setting information is transmitted to the terminals 110 and 120 of the member power supplies A, B, C, D and E of the control group 1, The terminals 110 and 120 of the terminals E and E continue to lock the functions of the chat application and the telephone until the time detected by the terminal becomes 1 o'clock and the time detected by the terminal becomes 3 o'clock can do.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, users who want to control the operation of the terminal can autonomously create a group and set a policy to be applied to the terminals of the users subscribed to the group, .
