Hereinafter, referring to Figs. 3 to 5C, specific steps in which a menu is synchronized between electronic devices will be described.
3 is a schematic flowchart of a method of storing menu settings in a menu synchronization method of an inter-electronic device application according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figures 5A-5C are schematic diagrams illustrating exemplary screens displayed on an application in which the methods of Figures 3 and 4 are implemented.
Fig. 3 shows the steps in which, for example, the setting of the editable menu in the first electronic device in Fig. 1 is changed and the setting of the changed menu is stored. First, an editable menu is set (S310). The user performs various inputs to vary the editable menu in the application. The user can change the order of the menus, add custom menus, or hide existing menus. Next, the editable menu setting is stored in the storage unit (S320).
Referring to FIG. 5A, a first
Referring to FIG. 5B, a
Next, the settings of the stored editable menus are transmitted to the synchronization server (S330). The transmission of the settings of the editable menu can be performed automatically without the user's request or input. Since the settings of the editable menus are stored in the synchronization server, the settings of the editable menus in different electronic devices can be transmitted at any time in response to the request of the electronic device different from the electronic device.
4 is a schematic flowchart of a menu synchronization method of an inter-electronic device application according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 4 shows steps illustrating a display menu by requesting the setting of an editable menu, for example, in the second electronic device in Fig.
First, a setting of an editable menu generated in an external electronic device different from the second electronic device, for example, the first electronic device, is requested to the synchronization server (S410). The request for the setting of the editable menu in the first electronic device can transmit the setting of the editable menu only to the user's electronic device identified after the user identification process. Next, in response to the request, the setting of the editable menu from the server is received by the second electronic device (S420). The settings of the editable menu may include only settings different from the default settings or may include settings of all menus. Next, based on the setting of the editable menu, the display menu of the application is generated in the second electronic device (S430). The creation of the display menu can be performed using various ways of setting the editable menu. For example, the display menu may be arranged and resized according to the resolution of the second electronic device or the type of the second electronic device.
Various embodiments of display menu creation are described below with reference to Figs. 6 and 7. Fig. Next, the generated display menu is displayed through the display unit of the second electronic device (S440). Referring to FIG. 5C, display menus 620 displayed on a
According to the menu synchronization method for an inter-electronic device application according to an embodiment of the present invention, for convenience of the user, the setting of a menu is changed in one electronic device, and even if another electronic device is used, So that user convenience is enhanced.
On the other hand, the setting of editable menus can be variously used beyond simple synchronization. That is, by utilizing the stored settings of the editable menu, a more efficient menu can be configured in another device.
In one embodiment, the setting of the editable menu may include the frequency of use of the editable menu in the second electronic device. Thus, when the display menu is created in the second electronic device, the display menu can be arranged according to the frequency of use of the editable menu. The second electronic device receives the frequency of use of the editable menu and configures the display menu according to the frequency of use of the editable menu. Accordingly, the storage menu is disposed at the leftmost position in the display portion of the second electronic device, and then the paste menu is sequentially arranged. Or the display menu may be sequentially arranged at positions that the user can touch, for example, the leftmost or rightmost, depending on the frequency of use of the editable menu.
The application may also be an electronic document editing application, and the type of electronic document loaded may include documents, spreadsheets, slides, and memos. Different menus are used for each type of document, and the frequency of use may be different. For example, in a spreadsheet, fonts and font menus may be used less frequently in a document. In view of these features, the display menu may be generated differently depending on the type of electronic document loaded in the application. This change in the display menu can greatly enhance the user's convenience when an electronic device having a display portion of limited size or resolution is used.
In addition, the setting of the editable menu may include the frequency of use of the editable menu used in the type of electronic document to be loaded. Referring to Table 1 below, an exemplary usage frequency of an editable menu according to the type of electronic document is displayed.
[Table 1]
The display menu is generated differently depending on the type of the electronic document through the frequency of use of the editable menu according to the type of the electronic document to be loaded. For example, it may receive settings of the same editable menu, but depending on the type of electronic document loaded in the second electronic device, the displayed display menu may be different. If you are loading a document, the Save menu (with a frequency of use of 128) and the Copy menu (frequency of use 101) will appear. If you are loading a spreadsheet, the Save menu Frequency of 48 times).
In addition, all kinds of display menus described above can be provided together with a basic menu of an application as a recommendation menu. The display menu can be displayed when the recommendation menu is selected. Accordingly, the user can use the menu configuration required by the user in various types of menus according to the situation.
6 is a schematic diagram showing screens in which a menu synchronization method of an inter-electronic device application according to various embodiments is implemented. Depending on the type of electronic document loaded in the application, at least some of the display menus may be highlighted. Referring to FIG. 6, the
7 is a schematic diagram illustrating screens in which a menu synchronization method of an inter-electronic device application according to various embodiments is implemented. The editable menu includes a menu implemented as a macro, and the setting of the editable menu may include coding of the macro. Also, the editable menu is a custom ribbon menu, and when loading the display menu, the display menu may be displayed so that the custom ribbon menu is exposed.
Referring to FIG. 7, on the right side of the
When the user-defined menu 830 is set, the position of the user-defined menu 830 is at the rightmost position in the first electronic device, (830) may be exposed on the initial screen after loading the application. Accordingly, the priority of the user-defined menu 830 defined by the user is increased, so that even when one electronic device is used and another device is used, the menu configuration desired by the user can be maintained.
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to those embodiments and various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. . Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are intended to illustrate rather than limit the scope of the present invention, and the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments. Therefore, it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive. The scope of protection of the present invention should be construed according to the following claims, and all technical ideas within the scope of equivalents should be construed as falling within the scope of the present invention.
