Description

How to provide a mobile device and its shortcut icon {MOBILE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING SHORTCUT ICON THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a mobile device and a method for providing a shortcut icon thereof, and more particularly, to a mobile device and a method for providing the shortcut icon according to a user's mobile device usage situation.

Recently, a mobile device that detects a user's touch and performs a corresponding operation, such as a smart phone, has been utilized in various ways. The mobile device may be installed with a variety of apps, and performs a function corresponding to the installed app. Recently, as the usability of mobile devices increases, a large number of apps of about 200 levels are generally installed on mobile devices.

In general, when an app is installed, the mobile device generates an icon corresponding to the installed app on the home screen, and when a user's touch is detected on the generated icon, the mobile device executes the corresponding app. However, as the types of apps that run on mobile devices are diversified, the execution patterns of the apps can be distinguished according to the touch of the icons.

For example, some apps, such as game apps or weather apps, will run as soon as the app is launched by touching the icon. On the other hand, when an app such as a messenger, a message, or an address book is driven, a list of selection icons for a contact list, a contact list, or a list per conversation group is displayed again. Touch one of the list of selection icons again to execute the required function. That is, the initial screen of app execution may exist separately. In some cases, another selection icon list is displayed within the selection icon.

Therefore, depending on the app, the user needs to select an icon a number of times before the function required by the user, causing inconvenience to the user.

In addition, some apps, such as the camera app, are used for taking pictures, but in connection with this, a separate app such as a gallery app or an image editing app is frequently used. Also, the list of select icons is often displayed again in the related app. This is a hassle for the user to find and relaunch the associated app each time.

Although some camera apps provide a selection icon that allows you to launch the Gallery app immediately after taking an image, considering that many users repeatedly check the latest image several times, There is a limit that simply providing an icon for the related app does not greatly reduce user inconvenience.

Referring to FIG. 1, the mobile device 100 may include a display module 110, a control module 120, and a memory module 130. First, the display module 110 displays a screen to the user as part of the user interface. In particular, in the present invention, the display module 110 may display a shortcut icon to the user. In this case, the shortcut icon may be disposed and displayed on the home screen configured in the control module 120.

Basically, the display module 110 is configured to display a screen provided by the control module 120 to the user. However, the display module 110 may be implemented to detect a user's touch and receive a user's command. For example, the display module 110 may be implemented as a touch screen capable of detecting a touch and displaying a screen. In addition, when the display module 110 is implemented as a touch screen, the display module 110 transmits a touch detection signal corresponding to a position where a touch is detected to the control module 120 so that the control module 120 displays the display module 110. ) To recognize the location where the user's touch occurred.

The control module 120 is a control means for controlling the mobile device 100 and may include an operating system (hereinafter referred to as an OS) installed in the mobile device and at least one processor for executing an app. The control module 120 configures a screen to be displayed to the user, transmits the screen to the display module 110, and determines the touch position from the touch detection signal transmitted from the display module 110. Then, the relationship between the screen displayed on the display module 110 and the determined touch position is analyzed to perform a corresponding operation. For example, the control module 120 determines whether the determined touch position corresponds to at least one icon position among the plurality of icons displayed on the display module 110, and if so, performs the operation corresponding to the icon.

In general, an icon disposed on a screen displayed on the display module 110 in the mobile device 100 is an app icon for driving an app. When the control module 120 determines that a touch is generated at one of the app icons, the control module 120 may perform an operation of driving the corresponding app. However, in an embodiment of the present invention, a shortcut icon may be disposed in addition to the app icon on the screen displayed on the display module 110. For example, the shortcut icon may be disposed on the home screen of the mobile device. If the location where the touch is generated corresponds to a location corresponding to the shortcut icon, the control module 120 may perform an operation set to the shortcut icon.

In addition, the control module 120 generates various shortcut icons in which various operations are set according to a user's mobile device usage situation, configures a screen to include the generated shortcut icons, and transmits the generated shortcut icons to the display module 110. Here, the operation set in the shortcut icon may be variously designated.

A detailed method of generating, by the control module 120, a shortcut icon in which various operations are set will be described later.

Meanwhile, the memory module 130 stores various apps to be executed by the control module 120 and various data generated or required when the apps are executed. The control module 120 may read and execute an OS or an app stored in the memory module 130, and may store various data generated in the execution process in the memory module 130 again.

Meanwhile, the mobile device 100 may further include a communication module 140 and a sensor module 150 according to a use purpose or a function.

The communication module 140 enables the mobile device 100 to communicate with other mobile devices or other external devices such as a computer by wire or wirelessly. In this case, the communication module 140 may perform various communication with other devices. The communication module 140 may transmit data transmitted from the control module 120 to the outside, or transmit data transmitted from the outside to the control module 120.

In addition, the sensor module 150 may transmit sensing information to the control module 120 including at least one sensor capable of detecting the surrounding state of the mobile device 100 or the mobile device 100. The sensor may include an image sensor, an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, a GPS sensor, a power sensor, and the like, but is not limited thereto.

2 is a schematic block diagram of a shortcut icon providing module according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the present embodiment, the shortcut icon providing module 200 may be implemented as a separate device including a storage device such as a separate processor and a memory and a computer program capable of performing a specific function, or may perform a unique function. It may be implemented as a software module and stored in the memory module 130 or the like. If implemented as a software module, it may be executed by the control module 120.

The shortcut icon providing module 200 according to the present embodiment may be implemented as an app that can be installed in the mobile device 100. For example, the shortcut icon providing module 200 may be a launcher app that provides a user interface such as a home screen on which icons for executing various apps installed in the mobile device 100 are arranged. The launcher app can provide functions such as app list display, folder creation and search, etc. The dual app list display function displays the icons of all the apps installed on the mobile device, sorted according to the specified sort order such as installation time or name. In addition to the app collection function, a palette function used by arranging an icon of an app mainly used by a user may be provided on a launcher home screen having at least one page.

Referring to FIG. 2, the shortcut icon providing module 200 may include a monitoring unit 210, a shortcut icon configuration unit 220, an image generator 230, and a home screen configuration unit 240.

First, the monitoring unit 210 monitors an OS or another app running on the control module 120. In particular, the monitoring unit 210 determines whether an event occurs in the OS or another app. In general, all the apps run in the control module 120 is executed by the OS, and events generated during the execution are also controlled by the OS. Therefore, the monitoring unit 210 may monitor whether an event occurs through the OS. However, the monitoring unit 210 may be configured to directly monitor the events generated in each of the individual apps running in the control module 120. For example, since a messenger app provides a push alarm event for message reception and transmission, the monitoring unit 210 may directly monitor an event generated in the app.

Meanwhile, when an event occurs, the monitoring unit 210 determines whether the generated event is an event related to a shortcut icon. If it is determined that the event is a shortcut icon, the monitoring unit 210 obtains object information together with the app information that generated the event.

In this case, the monitoring unit 210 may acquire the app information and the object information together from the app that generated the event, but may obtain them separately. For example, the monitoring unit 210 may obtain app information from the OS and object information from the corresponding app. The monitoring unit 210 transmits the obtained app information and object information to the shortcut icon constructing unit 220.

The shortcut icon configuring unit 220 configures shortcut icon information by analyzing app information and object information transmitted from the monitoring unit 210. The shortcut icon configuring unit 220 determines information required to generate the shortcut icon from the app information and the object information. The shortcut icon configuring unit 220 acquires an app and an object that should be executed in the control module 120 when a shortcut icon to be created later is selected according to the app information and the object information. In addition, the image information necessary for generating the shortcut icon is obtained and transmitted to the image generator 230.

The image generator 230 generates a shortcut icon by using the image information transmitted from the shortcut icon configuring unit 220. In this case, the image generator 230 generates a shortcut icon using the shortcut icon configuration information transmitted together with the image information from the shortcut icon configuring unit 220. To this end, when obtaining the image information according to the app and object information to be executed, the shortcut icon configuration unit 220 may generate shortcut icon configuration information according to the type of the app or the type of the object to be executed.

The home screen configuration unit 240 is a configuration included when the shortcut icon providing module 200 is implemented as a launcher app. The home screen unit 240 includes at least one icon on the display unit 110 of the mobile device 100. The home screen is configured by further placing a shortcut icon generated by the image generator 230 on the screen. At this time, the home screen configuration unit 240 may adjust the arrangement position of the shortcut icon on the home screen.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a shortcut icon according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate an example of a home screen on which a shortcut icon is disposed.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the method of providing a shortcut icon of FIG. 3 will be described. First, app execution information on an app running on the mobile device 100 is monitored (S110). In operation S120, it is determined whether an event occurs in the running app. In the app running on the mobile device 100, various types of events may occur. However, among these events, there are a number of events that occur regardless of the creation of the shortcut icon. It is determined whether an event related to a shortcut icon has occurred among the events generated therein.

Here, the shortcut icon-related apps and events may be preset. For example, apps where the other user is specified, such as phone call apps, text apps, and messenger apps, apps that display images, such as camera apps, map apps, or navigation apps, and apps that store text, such as notes apps, and battery management apps. As described above, an app for managing a state of the mobile device 100 may be set as an app related to a shortcut icon, but is not limited thereto.

The shortcut icon-related event may include taking a picture, checking a location, searching a place, receiving or sending a message, making a phone call, and writing a memo. In addition, various events may be set.

If it is determined that the set shortcut icon-related event has occurred, app information regarding the app that generated the shortcut icon-related event is acquired (S120). Here, the app information may be obtained from an OS running on the mobile device 100, but in some cases, may be obtained from an individual app running.

Meanwhile, when the app information is obtained, object information corresponding to the generated event is obtained (S130). Here, the object information may be information about an object's data or an object which is a result generated by the app that generated the event. For example, each of the above events such as taking a picture, checking a location, searching, receiving or sending a message, making a phone call, or taking a memo may be a result of an event, such as a picture image, a location information image, a search word, a message send or receive target, a memo You can create objects like content. In addition, object data such as message transmission / reception, phone call target, memo contents, etc. may be obtained as object information. However, objects such as photographic images, geolocation images, and search results have a relatively large data capacity. Accordingly, the efficiency can be improved by acquiring the address information in which the object is stored as object information without directly acquiring the object, and then calling and using the object at the corresponding address when generating the shortcut icon.

Regardless of the data capacity of the object, all object information may be obtained as the address information of the object, but in this case, since the call and store operations should be performed on the stored object, the load of the control module 120 and the memory module 130 may be increased. Can be increased. Accordingly, it is preferable to selectively use an object or address information in which the object is stored as object information depending on whether or not the data capacity of the object exceeds a predetermined reference capacity.

On the other hand, when the object information is obtained, the image structure of the shortcut icon and the app and the object to be executed when the shortcut icon is selected, the shortcut icon configuration is set (S150).

Each of the objects set in the shortcut icon may have an app corresponding thereto. Here, the app corresponding to the object means an app to use the object.

In most cases, an app that creates an object, such as a phone app, a text app, a memo app, or a map app, becomes an app corresponding to the object. In other words, the app that created the object is the same as the app that uses the object. However, some apps, such as camera apps, create images as objects, but using the created images is a gallery or a separate image editing app. That is, an app that creates an object and an app that uses the generated object may be different from each other. Accordingly, the method of providing a shortcut icon according to the present embodiment sets a corresponding app according to the type of object.

The image structure of the shortcut icon is designated according to the type of the set object and the corresponding app. The shortcut icon is generated according to the designated image structure (S160).

The image structure of the shortcut icon may be specified in various forms in which the user may easily recognize the meaning of the shortcut icon. The image structure of the shortcut icon will be described with reference to FIG.

4, four shortcut icons SCI1 to SCI4 are shown. The first shortcut icon SCI1 has a structure in which an image object generated by a camera app and an icon of a gallery app using the overlay are overlayed. In this case, the position of the overlayed icon may be set in various ways. In some cases, without adjusting the transparency of the object and the icon image, one of the two images may be adjusted to be placed at a specific position on the other image.

The second shortcut icon SCI2 is a shortcut icon corresponding to the memo object generated by the memo app, but it is an icon for the memo app, but it can be seen that the text information stored in the memo object is included as it is. However, the icons displayed on the home screen are generally sized. Therefore, the shortcut icon may be generated such that only a part of the text information of the memo is included so that the size of the shortcut icon does not exceed the designated size.

Meanwhile, the third shortcut icon SCI3 is a shortcut icon in which the search word "Songdo Hotel" is combined with a separate text image at the bottom of the icon of the map app in response to the map image object that is a result of searching for a specific place through the map app. Generated.

In addition, in the case of the fourth shortcut icon SCI4, a shortcut icon in which an icon of a message app and a contact are combined with a text image at the bottom is generated in response to the message object via a messenger. In the third and fourth shortcut icons SCI3, the text image is combined with the bottom of the icon of the executed app, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

That is, the icon image and the image of the object of the executed app may be variously arranged according to a predetermined layout structure. In some cases, an object image may be overlapped and disposed in a predetermined area on the app icon, and conversely, an app icon may be overlapped and disposed in a certain area on the object image.

That is, the shortcut icon may be designated to be generated in various structures according to the type of the object and the type of the app using the object. Information about an icon image or an image object necessary for generating a shortcut icon may be obtained from address information where the corresponding image is stored. In addition, when the data capacity of an image to be displayed as a shortcut icon is large, a shortcut icon may be generated after converting the image into a low-capacity image such as a thumbnail.

In the method of providing a shortcut icon, when a shortcut icon is generated, a position at which the generated shortcut icon is to be arranged is set (S170). The generated shortcut icon is preferably disposed on the home screen to be easily recognized by the user, and the location to be arranged may be previously designated.

For example, the shortcut icon may be set to be disposed at an arbitrary position where the icon is not disposed on the home screen, and a separate area in which the shortcut icon is to be arranged may be set on the home screen. In some cases, the position at which the newly generated shortcut icon is to be arranged may be set, and accordingly, the position of the previously generated shortcut icon or another icon may be changed in a specified order.

When the position at which the shortcut icon is to be placed is set, the home screen is configured to place the shortcut icon at the set position, and the configured home screen is displayed to the user (S180). Here, the home screen may be displayed to the user through the display module 110.

In addition, in some cases, the method of providing a shortcut icon may change the arrangement position of the app icon and the shortcut icon according to the execution state of the app in the mobile device 100.
