1. 모바일 지갑 위젯1. Mobile Wallet Widget

1 is a view provided to explain a mobile wallet widget providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Mobile wallet widget 110 is a small program that is attached to the mobile wallet application. Therefore, when the mobile wallet application is installed in the mobile terminal, the mobile wallet widget 110 is also installed. However, whether to run the mobile wallet widget 110 is the freedom of the user.

When executed by the user, the mobile wallet widget 110 is always driven to function as a graphical user interface (GUI) means that is always displayed and provided on the desktop of the mobile terminal as shown in FIG. 1.

Since the mobile wallet widget 110 is executed / driven by a separate program from the mobile wallet application, when executed and driven, the mobile wallet widget 110 maintains a display state even when the mobile wallet application is not executed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile wallet widget 110 includes a 'mobile wallet item list' and a 'graphic-buttons'. Specifically, the mobile wallet item list is displayed on the left side and the graphic buttons on the right side, respectively.

Mobile wallet items are items stored (stored) in a mobile wallet, and include mobile payment cards, mobile memberships, mobile coupons, mobile tickets, mobile gift certificates, mobile gift cones, and the like.

The two mobile wallet items listed in the mobile wallet item list may be those selected by the user, frequency of use (most used), date of use (most recently used), expiration date (shortest remaining) Or may be automatically selected based on priorities of, for example.

In addition, in addition to the priority, the mobile wallet items available through the current location can be selected and displayed (for example, the mobile membership of the AA-mart and the mobile coupon can be displayed when the current location is AA-mart).

On the other hand, when the number of the ones selected by the user or the number of automatic selection is two or more, it can be implemented by displaying them in turn. Furthermore, it is possible to implement such that all the mobile wallet items in the mobile wallet are displayed in turn.

The graphic-buttons shown to the right of the mobile wallet item list are color-buttons implemented in different colors. Due to the limitations in drawing, the color-buttons are shown in different patterns on the mobile wallet widget 110, and the colors matching the color-buttons are marked on the bottom of the mobile terminal.

These color-buttons are the 'manipulation' used to enter 'commands for mobile wallet items'. That is, these color-buttons are used to specify commands for the mobile wallet item.

The command specifies by touching at least one of the color-buttons in a predetermined order. The mobile wallet item to which this command is to be applied is specified by the user touching one on the mobile wallet item list on the left.

A process of inputting an 'activation command for mobile membership' and 'activation command for mobile coupon' among the commands for the mobile wallet item will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2. These activation commands mean that the user instructs the user to display a barcode, number, and the like on the screen in order to use the mobile membership and the mobile coupon.

As shown in (a) of FIG. 2, the "red" button is a button for command input 'start', the "gray" button is a button for command input 'cancel', as shown in (b) of FIG. Similarly, it is assumed that the "see" button → "blue" button → "orange" button sequence is the activation command pattern.

In this situation, in order to activate "ABC MEMBERSHIP", as shown in (c) of FIG. 2, on the mobile wallet widget 110, the "red" button → "see" button → "blue" button → "orange" After touching the buttons sequentially, you can touch "ABC MEMBERSHIP" listed in the mobile wallet item list. As a result, "ABC MEMBERSHIP" activation results are shown in FIG. 3.

In addition, in order to activate "JK COUPON", as shown in (d) of FIG. 2, on the mobile wallet widget 110, the "red" button → "purple" button → "blue" button → "orange" button After touching sequentially, touch "JK COUPON" listed in the mobile wallet item list. The "JK COUPON" activation result is shown in FIG.

On the other hand, if you want to cancel during the input for activating the "ABC MEMBERSHIP", as shown in Fig. 2 (e), it is necessary to touch the "gray" button during the input. Thereby, a command can be input again from the beginning.

The input technique shown in FIG. 2 is equally applicable to inputting commands other than mobile membership and mobile coupon activation. Other orders include: Inquiry about mobile wallet items, Activating a mobile payment card for Near Field Communication (NFC) payments, Deactivating an active payment card, Setting up a mobile payment card for injection, Setting up a mobile payment card for one company, Mobile Payment card charging, etc., but the above input technique may be applied to other commands besides the listed commands.

However, the command patterns should be set differently, but it is preferable that the user sets them as desired through the mobile wallet application, and that the user can also delete or change them after setting.

On the other hand, the input can be implemented to be made within a predetermined time. For example, when all the remaining buttons are not input within 10 seconds from when the start button "red" button is touched, the input contents up to that time may be automatically canceled. The effect of the automatic cancellation is the same as the effect when the "gray" button which is a cancel button is touched.

On the other hand, in order to enhance security, if the command pattern is wrong more than a predetermined number of times (for example, more than five times), the input using the mobile wallet widget 110 is regarded as input by a non-legal user. To make this impossible, locks can be made.

2. 조작 수단(그래픽-버튼들)2. Control means (graphics-buttons)

In FIG. 1, it is assumed that the graphic-buttons presented as the operation means of the mobile wallet widget 110 are color-buttons divided into different colors, which is merely an example of implementation and may be modified.

For example, graphic-buttons may be divided into embody-number buttons, such as the mobile wallet widget 120 shown in FIG. 5, or letter-buttons, such as the mobile wallet widget 130 shown in FIG. 6. It is possible to implement and distinguish.

Furthermore, the graphic buttons can be divided into different shapes as well as the mobile wallet widget 140 shown in FIG. 7, and can be divided into different icons or characters.

3. 모바일 지갑 위젯 크기3. Mobile Wallet Widget Size

So far, the presented mobile wallet widgets 110 to 140 have been fixed in size. However, it is also possible to assume a dynamic widget in which the size of the mobile wallet widget is variable.

For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 8, the mobile wallet widget 150 showing only the mobile wallet item list is displayed on the mobile terminal, but if the user touches the mobile wallet widget 150, the area is displayed. To further display the graphic buttons as the operation means, so that the mobile wallet widget 110 displaying both the mobile wallet item list and the operation means is displayed on the mobile terminal as shown in FIG. Implementable

In this case, the operation of touching the mobile wallet widget 150 by the user to call the operation means may be transformed into another kind of operation. For example, when the user multi-touches the mobile wallet widget 150 and drags it in different directions so that the multi-touched points move away from each other, the mobile wallet widget 150 may be transformed into the mobile wallet widget 110.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 9A, the mobile wallet widget 110 in which both the mobile wallet item list and the operation means are displayed expands the area as shown in FIG. You can increase the mobile wallet items listed in the list.

The manipulation of the user to transform the mobile wallet widget from (a) to (b) of FIG. 9 is possible by the above-described multi-touch & drag, but is not necessarily limited thereto.

4. 모바일 단말기4. Mobile terminal

It serves as an input means for receiving a command from a user.

The storage unit 250 is a storage medium in which mobile wallet items are stored, and includes a general memory and a secure element (SE). The SE may be implemented as a universal subscriber identity module (USIM), a universal IC card (UICC), an embedded-SE (e-SE), a secure digital card (SD card), or the like.

The motion sensor 260 is a sensor for detecting a gesture of a user who holds the mobile terminal 200 in a hand.

The processor 230 executes the mobile wallet application 240 and executes the mobile wallet widget program 245 attached thereto separately to display the above-described mobile wallet widgets 110 to 160 on the desktop. In addition, the processor 230 executes a user command input through the mobile wallet widgets 110 to 160.
