In an embodiment of the present invention, the term 'information' refers to contents that can be written in a diary, such as text, image, video, audio file, Internet execution screen, and e-book execution screen. A diary is a record of a user's daily life, and only the information that the user wants to enter into a diary while using a portable terminal is constituted and displayed as a diary. Information that can be written in a diary is judged by a user's set gesture input. When a predetermined set gesture input is detected, it is recognized as information and an address that can be 'shortcut' to the corresponding content is temporarily stored.

It refers to the contents collected to create a diary. Here, the content may include text, image, video, and audio file.

1 is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of an electronic device for creating a diary according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the electronic device includes a wireless communication unit 110, a storage unit 120, a touch screen 130, a controller 140, a touch input device 150, and a sensor unit 160.

The wireless communication unit 110 may include one or more modules enabling wireless communication between a user electronic device and a wireless communication system or between a user electronic device and a network in which other user electronic devices are located. For example, the wireless communication unit 110 may include a mobile communication module, a wireless local area network (WLAN) module, a short-distance communication module, a location calculation module, and a broadcast reception module. In particular, in the present invention, the wireless communication unit 110 performs an ad-hoc connection to share the created diary with other electronic devices.

The storage unit 120 may store programs for electronic devices. In particular, in the present invention, the storage unit 120 stores app modules installed in the electronic device. Here, among installed apps, a diary app module may be included. Also, the storage unit 120 stores collected information to automatically create a diary.

The touch screen 130 includes a touch panel 131 and a display panel 132.

When a user input occurs, the touch panel 131 transfers it to the controller 140 . Here, the user input may be a request for input with a touch input device such as a pen or a finger. In particular, in the present invention, the touch panel 131 detects a set gesture for collecting diary information in an app running state.

The display panel 132 displays the contents transmitted by the control unit 140 . In particular, in the present invention, the display panel 132 displays the created diary.

The controller 140 displays a screen on which an app stored in the mobile terminal is executed. In a state where the app execution screen is displayed, the controller 140 collects information for creating a diary. Upon detecting the set gesture, the controller 140 may determine it as information. Here, the set gesture may be a drag, a long touch, a physical button input using the touch input device 150, a physical button input operation at a fixed location for a long time, hovering, and the like. When detecting such a set gesture, the controller 140 determines and stores the information for creating a diary. Thereafter, the controller 140 may automatically create a diary when a time set for automatically creating a diary is reached. At this time, information stored by the user through a set gesture may be displayed on the diary. In addition, the created diary may be shared with other electronic devices and the diary of the other electronic device may be displayed together in an area displaying the created diary.

The touch input device 150 is a device that supports a touch function by interworking with the electronic device 100 . For example, the touch input device 150 may include a user's finger, a touch pen, or an electronic pen. In particular, the touch pen may be, for example, an S-pen. Such an S-Pen can detect an input from a tip (TIP; includes a contact portion that directly touches the screen when a touch is generated and is long and embedded in the inner center of the S-Pen) and supports specific functions corresponding to each input. . In addition, touch pens such as the S pen and electronic pens include physical buttons.

The sensor unit 160 detects a gesture input using the touch input device 150 . The gesture may be an operation such as inputting a physical button or hovering. 2 is a diagram illustrating a procedure for creating a diary in an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the controller 140 displays an app execution screen in step 201 . Here, the app means an app installed and stored in the mobile terminal. For example, it may be a scheduler, memo, e-book (electronic book), Internet app, and the like. In a state where the app execution screen is displayed, the controller 140 collects information in step 203. Here, information is contents for composing a diary, and may be, for example, text, image, video, audio file, Internet execution screen, e-book execution screen, and the like. When the controller 140 detects a gesture input set by the user while displaying the app execution screen, the controller 140 determines and collects the corresponding screen as information. Here, the set gesture is a gesture input using the touch input device 150 (eg, a touch pen or an electronic pen), and includes drag, long touch, physical button input, physical button input at a fixed position for a long time, hovering, and the like. can In addition, the controller 140 stores the information collected in step 205. When storing information, the controller 140 temporarily stores in the storage 120 an address that can be 'shortcut' to a corresponding part (screen). When stored in this way, the controller 140 controls to store the information for a certain period of time (eg, 24 hours). In step 207, the controller 140 checks whether a preset time (eg, midnight) is reached in order to automatically create a diary. Until the preset time is reached, the control unit 140 repeatedly performs the process of collecting and storing information as described above.

Meanwhile, when the preset time is reached, the controller 140 detects this in step 207 and displays a pop-up in step 209. Here, a pop-up is displayed to ask whether to edit the list of information constituting the diary. When such a pop-up is selected, the controller 140 detects it in step 211 and edits a list displaying temporarily stored information in step 213. Here, edit items are displayed together in the list. That is, upon detecting selection of a pop-up, the controller 140 executes the diary app and selects an edit item to edit the list of stored information. Here, the stored information is information temporarily stored by the control unit 140 when sensing a set gesture through the touch input device 150 .

Accordingly, the controller 140 can generate only information desired by the user as a diary. After editing of the list is completed, the controller 140 can automatically create a diary using the edited information in step 217 when detecting a request for creating a diary in step 215 .

Meanwhile, if the controller 140 does not detect selection of the pop-up displayed in step 211, the controller 140 automatically creates and displays a diary using the information collected in step 217. At this time, the controller 140 is in a state in which a pre-installed and stored diary app is executed.

3 is a diagram illustrating a procedure for creating a diary in an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present invention. 4A and 4B are diagrams illustrating examples of screens for creating a diary in an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4A to 4B , the controller 140 displays an app execution screen in step 301 . Here, the app is an app installed and stored in the mobile terminal and executed by the user. While the app is running, the controller 140 collects and stores information in step 303. Here, the information is content constituting the created diary when a diary is created, and when a gesture input set by a user is detected, it is collected and stored as information. Here, the set gesture is a gesture input using the touch input device 150 (eg, an electronic pen or a touch pen), and includes drag, long touch, physical button input, physical button input at a fixed position for a long time, hovering, and the like. can

5 is a diagram illustrating a procedure of collecting information to create a diary in an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. 6A to 6D are diagrams illustrating examples of screens for collecting information to create a diary in an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 5 to 6D , in step 501, the controller 140 checks whether the scheduler app is running. When it is determined that the scheduler app is executed, the control unit 140 detects an input executed by the scheduler in step 509 and displays the detected input in step 513 .

In the state of displaying the detected input, the control unit 140 determines whether the set gesture is detected in step 515 . Here, the set gesture may be a drag input through the touch input device 150, a long touch, a physical button input, a physical button input at a fixed position for a long time, hovering, and the like. 6A is an example of a screen that detects a user input (eg, meeting plan input) and a set gesture (eg, a long touch through the touch input device 150) when a scheduler execution screen is displayed.

If the set gesture is not detected, the control unit 140 may display the input content by branching to step 513 or earlier.

On the other hand, if the set gesture is detected, the controller 140 determines that the information for composing a diary is determined in step 517 . If determined based on the information, the controller 140 temporarily stores the address of the corresponding scheduler.

Meanwhile, if the execution of the scheduler app is not detected in step 501, the controller 140 determines whether the execution of the memo app is detected in step 503. If it is determined that the memo app is executed, the controller 140 checks whether a user input is detected on the memo app in step 511 . Then, the controller 140 displays the content input by the user on the memo app execution screen in step 513 .

In a state of displaying the contents input to the memo app, the controller 140 checks whether the gesture set in step 515 is detected. Here, the set gesture may be a preset gesture input through the touch input device 150 . 6B is an example of a screen for detecting a set gesture using the touch input device 150 on the execution screen of the memo app. When the set gesture is detected, the controller 140 determines the information to compose a diary in step 517 . If determined to be information, the controller 140 temporarily stores the address of the corresponding memo.

Meanwhile, if the controller 140 does not detect the execution of the memo app in step 503, it determines whether to execute an e-book (e-book) in step 505. When the controller 140 detects the execution of the e-book in step 505, the controller 140 displays the execution screen of the e-book in step 513.

In the state where the e-book execution screen is displayed, the controller 140 detects a set gesture through the touch input device 150 at a certain part in step 515, and determines it as information for composing a diary in step 517. 6C is an example of a screen for detecting a gesture set in the e-book execution screen. The address of the e-book execution screen where the set gesture is detected is temporarily stored.

Meanwhile, when the controller 140 detects the execution of the Internet app in step 507, it displays a screen corresponding to the execution of the app in step 513. When displaying the Internet app execution screen, the controller 140 moves and displays the screen in response to user input. At this time, the controller 140 determines whether to detect the gesture set through the touch input device 150 in step 515 . Upon detecting the set gesture, the controller 140 determines the contents of the corresponding screen as information for composing a diary in step 517 . At this time, the controller 140 temporarily stores the shortcut address of the corresponding screen. 6D is an example of a screen displaying a gesture set on the Internet app execution screen.

In the above description, the application execution screen has been described as a scheduler, a memo, an e-book, and the Internet. However, it is not limited thereto, and may be any app stored in the electronic device.

In a state where information is stored through the above process, the control unit 140 checks whether a preset time has been reached in step 305. Here, the preset time is a time set to automatically generate a diary, and may be set in the manufacturing step of the electronic device, the diary app installation step, and the user setting step. When the set time is reached, the controller 140 detects this in step 305 and displays a pop-up in step 307. Here, the pop-up asks whether to edit the list of information constituting the diary. In the state of displaying the pop-up, if the controller 140 selects the pop-up in step 309, it can edit the list in step 311. Here, the list is a list in which temporarily stored information is displayed, and the information can be edited according to the user's intention. At this time, the controller 140 displays an edit item along with a list of stored information. 4A is an example of a list screen displaying temporarily stored information. As shown in FIG. 4A , the controller 140 may individually exclude information to be created as a diary when detecting selection of an edit item 400 from a list displaying information before creating a diary.

Thereafter, the controller 140 automatically creates and displays a diary in step 313 using the edited information. 4B is an example of a screen displaying a diary created using only edited information. The diary created in this way can be displayed by being composed of text, images, videos, and voice files.

Meanwhile, if the controller 140 does not detect the pop-up selection, the diary is automatically generated and displayed in step 313 . At this time, the controller 140 creates and displays a diary using all of the stored information.

Thereafter, in a state in which the created diary is displayed, the controller 140 determines whether to request sharing of the diary in step 315 . Here, the sharing request may be an act of using a wireless network by contacting another electronic device for sharing according to the user's intention (for example, bumping into a bump app method) or placing it close to it. Here, the wireless network is Wi-fi,

It can be Bluetooth, NFC, etc. And other electronic devices may be portable terminals of other users, such as refrigerators, smart phones, tablets, cell phones, tablet PCs, washing machines, microwave ovens, TVs, phones, laptops, and desktops capable of recognizing the touch input device 150. ) and the like. If the request for sharing with other electronic devices is not detected, the controller 140 stores the diary created in step 319 in the diary app. Meanwhile, upon detecting a sharing request with another electronic device, the controller 140 shares the diary in step 317.

7 is a diagram illustrating a procedure for sharing a diary created in an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present invention. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen for sharing a diary created in an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8 , the controller 140 checks sharing group information in step 701 . Here, the sharing group information may be information on other electronic devices stored in order to share a diary created in one's own electronic device with users of other electronic devices. Thereafter, the controller 140 displays my diary and diaries created in other electronic devices in response to the sharing request in step 703 .

8 is an example of a screen for sharing and displaying a created diary. In the screen to be shared and displayed, a diary requested to be shared by another electronic device is displayed in a partial area (for example, a right area where my diary is displayed). At this time, the diary is displayed including contents such as text, images, videos, and voice files.

In this way, the controller 140 shares the diary with a desired electronic device. Through this, it is possible to solve a problem in which an individual's privacy is exposed to an undesirable extent.
