[0010] In some embodiments, another mobile terminal (which may be configured similarly to the mobile terminal 100) may be a portable device, for example, a smart watch, smart glasses or a hard hat (HMD), which can exchange data with the mobile terminal 100 (or otherwise cooperate with the mobile terminal 100). The short-distance communication module 114 can detect or recognize the portable device, and allow communication between the portable device and the mobile terminal 100. In addition, when the detected portable device is a device that is authenticated to communicate with the terminal For example, the controller 180 may cause the processed data to be transmitted in the mobile terminal 100 to the portable device via the short-distance communication module 114. Thus, a user of the portable device can use the data. processed in the mobile terminal 100 on the portable device. For example, when a call is received in the mobile terminal 100, the user can answer the call using the portable device.

In some cases, the image acquisition devices 121 may be arranged in a matrix configuration to allow a plurality of images. images having various angles or focal points to be input to the mobile terminal 100. As another example, the image acquisition devices 121 may be located in a stereoscopic arrangement for acquiring left and right images to realize a stereoscopic image. The microphone 122 is generally used to allow audio input into the mobile terminal 100. The audio input can be processed in various ways according to a function performed in the mobile terminal 100.

By way of example, the touch input may be a virtual key or soft key, which is displayed on a touch screen via software processing, or a touch key which is located on the mobile terminal at a location. which is other than the touch screen. In addition, the virtual key or the visual key can be displayed on the touch screen in various forms, for example, a graphic, a text, an icon, a video, or an association thereof.
[0011] The detection unit 140 is generally configured to detect one or more of internal information of the mobile terminal, environment information close to the mobile terminal, user information, or the like. The controller 180 generally cooperates with the detection unit 140 to control the operation of the mobile terminal 100 or execute a data processing, function or operation associated with an application program installed in the mobile terminal according to the detection. provided by the detection unit 140. The detection unit 140 may be implemented using any of a variety of sensors, some of which will now be described in more detail. The proximity sensor 141 may include a sensor for detecting the presence or absence of an object approaching a surface, or an object located near a surface, using an electromagnetic field, infrared rays, or the like without mechanical contact. The proximity sensor 141 may be arranged on an inner region of the mobile terminal covered by the touch screen, or near the touch screen. The proximity sensor 141, for example, may include any of a transmitted type photoelectric sensor sif, a direct reflection photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation proximity sensor, a sensor capacitive proximity, a magnetic type proximity sensor, an infrared proximity sensor, or the like. When the touch screen is implemented in capacitive form, the proximity sensor 141 can detect the proximity of a pointer to the touch screen by changes in an electromagnetic field, which responds to the approach of a conductive object. In this case, the touch screen (touch sensor) can also be categorized as a proximity sensor. The term "touch close" will often be used in this description to describe the scenario in which a pointer is positioned to be near the touch screen without touching the touch screen. The term "contact touch" will often be used in this description to describe the scenario in which a pointer physically enters into contact with the touch screen. For the position corresponding to the touch near the pointer relative to the touch screen, such a position will correspond to a position where the pointer is perpendicular to the touch screen. Proximity sensor 141 can detect nearby touch, and touch profiles in proximity (e.g., distance, direction, speed, time, position, travel status, and the like). In general, the controller 180 processes data corresponding to proximity touches and proximity touch profiles detected by the proximity sensor 141, and results in visual information output to the touch screen. In addition, the controller 180 may control the mobile terminal 100 to perform different operations or process different data depending on whether a touch of a point on the touch screen is a touch nearby or a touch contact.
[0012] A touch sensor can detect a touch applied to the touch screen, such as the display unit 151, using any of a variety of touch methods. Examples of such tactile methods include a resistive type, a capacitive type, an infrared type, and a magnetic field type, among others. For example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert pressure changes applied to a specific portion of the display unit 151, or to convert a capacitance occurring on a specific portion of the display unit. 151, as electrical input signals. The touch sensor can also be configured to detect not only an affected position and an affected area, but also tactile pressure and / or touch capacitance. A touch object is generally used to apply tactile input to the touch sensor. Examples of typical touch objects include a finger, a touch pen, a stylus, a pointer, or others. When a touch input is detected by a touch sensor, corresponding signals can be transmitted to a touch control device. The touch controller can process the received signals, and then transmit corresponding data to the controller 180. Therefore, the controller 180 can detect the region of the display unit 151 that has been touched. Here, the touch control apparatus may be a separate component of the controller 180, the controller 180, and combinations thereof.
[0013] In some embodiments, the controller 180 may execute the same or different commands depending on a type of touch object that touches the touch screen or a touch key provided in addition to the touch screen. The fact of executing the same command or a different command depending on the object which provides a touch input can be decided according to a current state of operation of the mobile terminal 100 or a currently executed application program. for example. The touch sensor and the proximity sensor can be used individually, or in combination, to detect various types of touch. Such touches include a short touch (or tap), a long touch, a multiple touch, a tactile glide, a quick touch, a close-in pinch, a separating pinch, a touch-and-slide ( "Swipe" in English), an air touch ("hovering touch" in English), or others. If desired, an ultrasonic sensor may be implemented to recognize positional information relating to a touch object using ultrasonic waves. The controller 180, for example, can calculate a position of a wave generation source based on information detected by a lighting sensor and a plurality of ultrasonic sensors. Since light is much faster than ultrasonic waves, the time during which the light reaches the optical sensor is much shorter than the time during which the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. The position of the wave generation source can be calculated using this fact. For example, the position of the wave generation source can be calculated using the time difference from the time at which the ultrasonic wave reaches the sensor as a function of light as the reference signal. The image acquisition device 121 typically includes at least one of an image acquisition device sensor (CCD, CMOS etc.), a photo sensor (or image sensors), and a laser sensor. The implementation of the image acquisition device 121 with a laser sensor can enable the detection of a touch of a physical object with respect to a 3D stereoscopic image. The photo-sensor can be laminated on, or overlapped with, the mobile terminal. The photo sensor can be configured to scan a movement of the physical object near the touch screen. In more detail, the photo-sensor may include photodiodes and phototransistors in rows and columns for scanning a content received in the photo-sensor using an electrical signal that changes according to the amount of light applied. Namely, the photo-sensor can calculate the coordinates of the physical object according to a variation of light to thereby obtain position information of the physical object.
[0014] The display unit 151 is generally configured to output information processed in the mobile terminal 100. For example, the display unit 151 may display run screen information of an application program executed in the mobile terminal 100 or user interface (UI) and graphical user interface (GUI) information in response to the execution screen information. In some embodiments, the display unit 151 may be implemented as a stereoscopic display unit for displaying stereoscopic images. A typical stereoscopic display unit may use a stereoscopic display scheme such as a stereoscopic scheme (a glass scheme), an auto-stereoscopic scheme (without glass scheme), a projection scheme (holographic scheme), or other. The audio output module 152 is generally configured to output audio data. Such audio data may be obtained from any one of a number of different sources, so that the audio data may be received from the wireless communication unit 110 or may have been stored in the memory 170. The audio data may be output during modes such as a signal receiving mode, a calling mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast receiving mode, or the like. The audio output module 152 may provide an audible output relating to a particular function (e.g., a call signal receiving sound, a message receiving sound, etc.) performed by the mobile terminal 100. The Audio output 152 may also be implemented as a receiver, loudspeaker, buzzer, or the like.
[0015] A haptic module 153 may be configured to generate various tactile effects that a user feels, perceives, or experiences otherwise. A typical example of a tactile effect generated by the haptic module 153 is vibration. The intensity, mode, and the like of the vibration generated by the haptic module 153 may be controlled by user selection or controller setting. For example, the haptic module 153 may output different vibrations in a combinatorial or sequential manner. In addition to the vibration, the haptic module 153 can generate various other tactile effects, including a pacing effect such as a pin-like arrangement moving vertically to contact the skin, a spraying force or force of the skin. suction of air through a jet orifice or suction aperture, a skin feel, an electrode contact, an electrostatic force, an effect by reproducing the sensation of cold and heat using an element which can absorb or generate heat, or others. The haptic module 153 can also be implemented to allow the user to feel a tactile effect via a muscular sensation, for example the fingers or the arm of the user, as well as the transfer of the effect. tactile by direct contact. Two or more haptic modules 153 may be provided according to the particular configuration of the mobile terminal 100. An optical output module 154 may output a signal to indicate event generation using light from a light source. Examples of events generated in the mobile terminal 100 may include message reception, call waiting, a missed call, an alarm, a calendar note, an email reception, a reception of information via an application, or others. A signal output by the optical output module 154 may be implemented for the mobile terminal to emit monochrome light or light with a plurality of colors. The output signal may be interrupted when the mobile terminal detects that a user has controlled the generated event, for example. A projector can also be placed anywhere on the mobile terminal 100. The projector includes a light source element, an imaging module, and a lens, and is configured to project image information. The light source element emits light, and the image forming module forms image information (or screen information) with light. The lens enlarges and projects image information, and may be placed in correspondence with a projection hole. The projector is also called beam projector. The interface unit 160 serves as an interface for external devices 30 to be connected to the mobile terminal 100. For example, the interface unit 160 can receive data transmitted from an external device, receive data from the device, and receive data from the device. electrical energy to be transferred to elements or components within the mobile terminal 100, or to transmit internal data of the mobile terminal 100 to such an external device. The interface unit 160 may include wired or wireless headset ports, external power supply ports, wired or wireless data ports, memory card ports, ports for connect a device having an identification module, audio input / output (1/0) ports, video 1/0 ports, headset ports, or others. The identification module may be a chip that stores various information to authenticate the entity using the mobile terminal 100 and may include a user identity module (UIM), a subscriber identity module (SIM), a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM), and others. In addition, the device 10 having the identification module (also called in this description "identification device") can take the form of a smart card. Therefore, the identification device may be connected with the terminal 100 via the interface unit 160. When the mobile terminal 100 is connected with an external docking station, the interface unit 160 may be used to pass electrical power from the docking station to be provided to the mobile terminal 100 or may be used as a gateway to allow various control signals entered by the user from the docking station to be transferred to the mobile terminal through it. Various control signals or electrical energy inputted from the docking station may serve as signals to recognize that the mobile terminal is properly mounted on the docking station. The memory 170 may store programs to support operations of the controller 180 and store input / output data (e.g., phone book, messages, inanimate images, videos, etc.). The memory 170 can store data relating to various vibration and audio profiles that are output in response to touch inputs on the touch screen. The memory 170 may include one or more types of storage media including a flash memory, a hard disk, a semiconductor disk, a silicon disk, a micro-type of multimedia card, a card-type memory (for example: For example, SD or DX memory, etc.), random access memory (RAM), static random access memory (SRAM), read only memory (ROM), erasable and electrically programmable read only memory (EEPROM), programmable read only memory ( PROM), a magnetic memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, or others. The mobile terminal 100 may also be operated with respect to a network storage device which performs the storage function of the memory 170 via a network, such as the Internet. The controller 180 may typically control the general operations of the mobile terminal 100. For example, the controller 180 may set or release a lockout state to prevent a user from entering a control command with respect to applications when a state of the mobile terminal satisfies a pre-set condition. The controller 180 may also perform control and processing associated with voice calls, data communications, video calls, and the like, or perform pattern recognition processing to recognize a handwriting input or an input of drawing made on the touch screen in the form of characters or images, respectively. In addition, the controller 180 may control a component or combination of these components to implement various embodiments described herein. The electric power supply unit 190 receives external electrical power or provides internal electrical power and provides the appropriate electrical power supply required to operate respective elements and components included in the mobile terminal 100. The electrical power supply unit 190 may include a battery, which is typically rechargeable or removably coupled to the terminal body for charging. The power supply unit 190 may include a connection port. The connection port can be configured as an example of the interface unit 160 to which an external charger for realizing the power supply to recharge the battery is electrically connected. As another example, the power supply unit 190 may be configured to recharge the wireless battery without using the connection port. In the present example, the electric power supply unit 190 can receive electrical energy, transferred from an external wireless power transmitter, using at least one of an inductive coupling method. which is based on a magnetic induction or a magnetic resonance coupling process that is based on electromagnetic resonance.
[0016] Various embodiments described in the present description may be implemented in a computer readable medium, a machine readable medium, or a similar medium using, for example, software, hardware, or any combination of them.
[0017] Referring now to FIGS. 1B and 1C, the mobile terminal 100 is described with reference to a bar-type terminal body. However, the mobile terminal 100 may be implemented alternatively according to any one of a variety of different configurations. Examples of such configurations include a watch type, bar type, eyeglass type, or foldable type, flap type, sliding type, rocker type, and swivel type in which two or more bodies are relatively movably associated with each other, and combinations thereof. The description in this application will often refer to a particular type of mobile terminal (for example, a bar type, a watch type, a spectacle type, or the like). However, such teachings with respect to a particular type of mobile terminal will generally apply to other types of mobile terminals as well. The mobile terminal 100 will generally include a housing (eg, frame, housing, cover, and the like) forming the appearance of the terminal. In this embodiment, the housing is formed using a front housing 101 and a rear housing 102. Various electronic components are incorporated in a gap formed between the front housing 101 and the rear housing 102. At least one middle housing can in addition to being positioned between the front housing 101 and the rear housing 102. The display unit 151 is shown located on the front side of the terminal body to output information. As illustrated, a window 151a of the display unit 151 may be mounted on the front housing 101 to form the front surface of the terminal body together with the front housing 101. In some embodiments, electronic components may also be mounted on the back box 102. Examples of such electronic components include a removable battery 191, an identification module, a memory card, or the like. A rear cover 103 is shown covering the electronic components, and this cover can be detachably coupled to the rear housing 102. Thus, when the rear cover 103 is removed from the rear housing 102, the electronic components mounted to the rear housing 102 are exposed externally. As illustrated, when the rear cover 103 is coupled to the rear housing 102, a side surface of the rear housing 102 is partially exposed. In some cases, during mating, the rear housing 102 may also be completely protected by the rear cover 103. In some embodiments, the rear cover 103 may include an opening for externally exposing an image acquisition device. 121b or an audio output module 152b.
[0018] The housings 101, 102, 103 may be formed by injection molding a synthetic resin or may be formed of a metal, for example stainless steel (STS), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti) , or others. Instead of the example in which the plurality of housings form an interior space for housing components, the mobile terminal 100 may be configured such that a housing forms the interior space. In the present example, a mobile terminal 100 having a monobody is formed so that synthetic resin or metal extends from a side surface to a back surface. If desired, the mobile terminal 100 may include a water seal unit to prevent the introduction of water into the terminal body. For example, the water seal unit may include a water seal element which is located between the window 151a and the front housing 101, between the front housing 101 and the rear housing 102, or between the rear housing 102 and the rear cover 103, to seal an interior space when these housings are coupled. Figures 1B and 1C illustrate certain components as they are arranged on the mobile terminal. However, other arrangements are possible and within the scope of the teachings of the present invention. Some components may be omitted or rearranged. For example, the first handling unit 123a may be located on another surface of the terminal body, and the second audio output module 152b may be located on the side surface of the terminal body.
[0019] The display unit 151 outputs information processed in the mobile terminal 100. The display unit 151 may be implemented using one or more suitable mobile terminals. Examples of such suitable mobile terminals include a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, a thin film transistor (TFT-LCD) display, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), flexible screen, a three-dimensional (3D) screen, an electronic ink screen, and associations thereof. The display unit 151 can be implemented using two mobile terminals, which can implement the same technology or a different display technology. For example, a plurality of display units 151 may be arranged on one side, spaced from each other, or these devices may be integrated, or these devices may be arranged on different surfaces. The display unit 151 may also include a touch sensor that detects a touch input received on the display unit. When a touch is input to the display unit 151, the touch sensor can be configured to detect that touch and the controller 180, for example, can generate a control command or other signal corresponding to the touch. The content that is inputted in a tactile manner can be a text or numeric value, or a menu item that can be integrated or designated in various modes. The touch sensor may be configured as a film having a touch profile, disposed between the window 151a and a display screen on a rear surface of the window 151a, or a wire which is patterned directly on the back surface of the window. the window 151a. Alternatively, the touch sensor may be formed integrally with the display screen. For example, the touch sensor may be disposed on a substrate of the display screen or within the display screen. The display unit 151 may also form a touch screen together with the touch sensor. Here, the touch screen can serve as a user input unit 123 (see Figure 3A). Thus, the touch screen can replace at least some of the functions of the first handling unit 123a. The first audio output module 152a may be implemented as a speaker for outputting voice audio, alarm sounds, multimedia audio reproduction, and the like. The window 151a of the display unit 151 will typically include an aperture to allow audio sound generated by the first audio output module 152a to pass. An alternative is to allow audio sound to be released along an assembly gap between the structural bodies (for example, a gap between the window 151a and the front housing 101). In this case, an independently formed hole for outputting audio sounds may not be seen or otherwise disguised in appearance, further simplifying the appearance and fabrication of the mobile terminal 100. The optical output module 154 can be configured to go out of the light to indicate event generation. Examples of such events include message reception, call waiting reception, missed call, alarm, calendar note, email reception, receipt of information via an application, or others. When a user has verified a generated event, the controller may control the optical output unit 154 to stop the light output.
[0020] The first image acquisition device 121a can process images such as still or moving images obtained by the image sensor in a capture mode or a video call mode. The processed images can then be displayed on the display unit 151 or stored in the memory 170. The first and second handling units 123a and 123b are examples of the user input unit 123, which can be manipulated. per user to provide an input to the mobile terminal 100. The first and second handling units 123a and 123b may also be commonly referred to as "manipulative parts", and may utilize any tactile method that allows the user to perform manipulation. such as touching, pushing, scrolling, or the like. Figure 1B illustrates the first handling unit 123a as a touch key, but other possibilities include a mechanical key, a push button, a touch key, and combinations thereof. An input received in the first and second handling units 123a and 123b can be used in a variety of ways. For example, the first handling unit 123a can be used by the user to provide menu entry, a home key, a cancel, a search, or the like, and the second handling unit 123b can be used by the user for providing an input for controlling a volume level outputted from the first or second audio output module 152a or 152b, to switch to a touch recognition mode of the display unit 151, or the like. As another example of the user input unit 123, a rear input unit may be located on the rear surface of the terminal body. The rear input unit may be manipulated by a user to provide an input to the mobile terminal 100. The input may be used in a variety of different ways. For example, the rear input unit may be used by the user to provide an input to turn on, turn off, start, end, scroll, control the volume level output from the first or second audio output module 152a 5 or 152b, switch to a touch recognition mode of the display unit 151, or others. The rear input unit may be configured to allow touch input, push input, or combinations thereof. The rear input unit may be located so as to overlap the display unit 151 on the front side in a thickness direction of the terminal body. By way of example, the rear input unit may be located on a rear end portion of the rear side of the terminal body so that a user can easily manipulate it using the index when the user grips the terminal body with one hand. Alternatively, the rear input unit may be positioned at virtually any location on the rear side of the terminal body.
[0021] Embodiments that include the rear input unit may implement some or all of the functionality of the first handling unit 123a in the rear input unit. As such, in situations where the first handling unit 123a is omitted from the front side, the display unit 151 may have a larger screen.
[0022] As an additional possibility, the mobile terminal 100 may include a digital scanning sensor that scans a user's fingerprint. The controller 180 can then use fingerprint information detected by the digital scan sensor as part of an authentication procedure. The digital scanning sensor may also be installed in the display unit 151 or implemented in the user input unit 123. The microphone 122 is shown at one end of the mobile terminal 100, but other locations are possible. If desired, multiple microphones can be implemented, such an arrangement for receiving stereo sounds.
[0023] The interface unit 160 may serve as a path for the mobile terminal 100 to interface with external devices. For example, the interface unit 160 may include one or more of a connection terminal for connection to another device (e.g., a headset, an external speaker, or the like), a port for near-field communication (e.g., an IrDA port, a Bluetooth port, a wireless LAN port, and the like), or a power supply terminal for providing power to the mobile terminal 100. L interface unit 160 may be implemented as a connector for housing an external card, such as a subscriber identification module (SIM), a user identification module (UIM), or a memory card for storing information. The second image acquisition device 121b is shown located on the rear side of the terminal body and includes an image capture direction which is substantially opposed to the image capture direction of the first image acquisition device. 121a. If desired, the second image acquisition device 121a may alternatively be located at other locations, or made to be movable, to have an image capture direction different from that shown.
[0024] The second image acquisition device 121b may include a plurality of lenses arranged along at least one line. The plurality of lenses may also be arranged in a matrix configuration. Image acquisition devices may be called "matrix image acquisition devices". When the second image acquisition device 121b is implemented as matrix image acquisition devices, images can be captured in various ways using the plurality of lenses and images with better qualities. As shown in Fig. 1C, a flash 124 is shown adjacent to the second image acquisition device 121b. When an image of a subject is captured with the image acquisition device 121b, the flash 124 may illuminate the subject. As shown in Fig. 1C, the second audio output module 152b may be located on the terminal body. The second audio output module 152b may implement stereophonic sound functions together with the first audio output module 152a, and may also be used to implement a speakerphone mode for call communication. At least one antenna for wireless communication may be located on the terminal body. The antenna can be installed in the terminal body or formed by the housing. For example, an antenna that configures a portion of the broadcast receive module 111 (refer to Figure 1A) may be retractable into the terminal body. Alternatively, an antenna may be formed using a film attached to an inner surface of the back cover 103, or a housing that includes a conductive material.
[0025] An electric power supply unit 190 for providing power to the mobile terminal 100 may include a battery 191, which is mounted in the terminal body or releasably coupled to an outside of the terminal body. The battery 191 can receive electrical energy via an electrical power source cable 10 connected to the interface unit 160. Also, the battery 191 can be recharged wirelessly using a charger without thread. The wireless charge can be implemented by magnetic induction or electromagnetic resonance. The rear cover 103 is shown coupled to the back box 102 to protect the battery 191, to prevent separation of the battery 191, and to protect the battery 191 from external impact or foreign matter. When the battery 191 is detachable from the terminal body, the rear housing 103 can be releasably coupled to the rear housing 102. An accessory to protect an appearance or assist or increase the functions of the mobile terminal 100 can also be provided on the terminal 20. Mobile 100. As an example of such an accessory, a cover or cover for covering or housing at least one surface of the mobile terminal 100 may be provided. The cover or the pocket can cooperate with the display unit 151 to increase the function of the mobile terminal 100. Another example of the accessory is a touch pen to assist or increase a touch input on a touch screen.
[0026] A mobile terminal 100 may include at least one of the components described above and may immediately receive additional information associated with an event occurring from an application even without executing the application. A control method for displaying additional information associated with the event occurring from an application using an announcement icon of an event and controlling the associated function will be described in detail below as an example. 'example. Proximity sensor 141 and illumination sensor 142 are also shown in Figure 1B.
[0027] At present, Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 3 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the flowchart of Fig. 2. As shown controller 180 detects an event occurring from at least one application (S210). The "application" can be represented by an "application program" or an "applied program", and refers to all types of programs that can be controlled in a terminal. Such an application may be, for example, a program associated with a program for displaying a web browser, animated image reproduction, calendar management, call operation, game, music, document work, a message, a financial transaction, an e-book, traffic information, an application to be updated, etc. In addition, an "event" occurring from the application corresponds to the influence of an operation of at least one application installed in a terminal body, the change of an article of a database (or a database file) associated with the at least one application, or the transfer or transmission of data with an external terminal or an external network via the at least one application.
[0028] For example, the event may occur when there is a missed call, when there is an application to be refreshed, when a message is received, when the terminal is loaded, when the terminal is turned on. when the terminal is turned off, when an LCD wakeup key is pressed, when the alarm rings, when the incoming call is made, and when the missed announcement is made. In addition, when specific information is received through the wireless communication unit 110, an event may occur from an application associated with the received specific information. The controller 180 may change a screen that has been displayed on the display unit 151 to a screen corresponding to the event in response to the occurrence of an event from at least one application. In addition, when a response to the event that has occurred is not received, the controller 180 may revert the swapped screen to a previous screen before the event.
[0029] For example, as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 3A, when a call signal is received while a home screen page 301 is displayed on the display unit. In the display 151, the screen is changed to an incoming call screen 302 corresponding to the received call signal. Also, when a user does not respond to the received call signal, as shown in (c) of Figure 3A, the screen is changed to the home screen page 301 displayed before the Incoming call event does not occur. In addition, the controller 180 displays a first graphic object announcing the occurrence of the event on the display unit 151 together with an icon 10 corresponding to the relevant application in response to the detection of the event (S220) . An icon corresponding to the application is, for example, an object that indicates an application installed in a terminal. When a predetermined touch input is applied to a relevant icon, the corresponding application is executed. For example, icons for executing a call application, a message application, and a gallery application installed in the terminal may be displayed on the home screen page. In addition, the first graphic object is an image announcing minimal information associated with the occurrence of the event, and may be, for example, a notification icon notifying the number of events that have occurred. Such a first graphic object may be, for example, adjacent to the application icon displayed on the home screen page of the display unit 151. Here, the first graphic object may be changed to different images depending on a type of application that has occurred. The different images indicate, for example, images having different types, shapes, colors, sizes, etc. of display. For example, as shown in (c) of Figure 3A, the controller 180 may display a notification icon 315 announcing a non-response to the incoming call event adjacent to an application icon 310. call. Also, an image 305 announcing non-response to the incoming call event is further displayed on a status display bar 30 displayed on an upper end of the display unit 151 as described herein. above, when the ad icon (ie, a "first graphical object") is displayed on the icon of the application with the detected event, even though the user is not running the relevant application , The user can immediately recognize the occurrence of the event. However, the home screen page displayed on the display unit 151 is merely an example, and the controller 180 may display the application icon having the event that has occurred and the icon on the screen corresponding to the application 5 that is currently being executed. In this case, the icon of the application having the event that has occurred and the notification icon are displayed on an area of the screen currently displayed on the display unit 151. In addition, even when information displayed on the display unit 151 according to a preset touch input is scrolled vertically, the icon of the application having the event that has occurred and the announcement icon can be displayed on a fixed area. For example, as shown in (a) of Figure 3B, when an event occurs from a message application while a specific web page 303 depending on the execution of a web application is displayed on the display unit 151, as shown in (b) of Fig. 3B, an icon 310b of a message application having the event that has occurred and a notification icon 315b notifying the The occurrence of the event may be displayed on an area of the web page 303, for example, a left side area of a lower end.
[0030] In addition, since such a notification icon only provides minimal information associated with the occurrence of the event (e.g., the number of events that have occurred), a user typically performs a relevant application or an additional operation. to control more detailed information associated with the event. In addition, the notification message that is populated on the display unit 151 when the event occurs is displayed on the display unit 151 only for a period of time. predetermined, and only the event that has recently occurred is displayed. Thus, after that, the user executes the application having the event that has occurred and consults the corresponding event information. Thus, the controller 180 according to an embodiment of the present invention generates additional information to identify the event corresponding to the first graphic object as a function of at least one event information block included in the corresponding event. to the announcement icon (ie, first graphic object) (S230). Here, at least one event information block varies depending on a type of event that has occurred. For example, for an incoming message event, event information may be a content of a message, a message sender, a telephone number, and an attachment. Also, for a refresh event, event information may be a refresh capability, version information, and a refresh provider. Here, "additional information" for identifying an event includes any additional detailed information other than recognized information via a notification icon (i.e., "first graphic object"), such as a type of information. the event that occurred, an event occurrence time, and positional information of a terminal when the event occurs. For example, when there is a missed call, the "additional information" may be caller information or information about a time at which the missed call is received. In another example, when there are multiple received messages, the "additional information may be caller information and the number of messages received for each sender.
[0031] Subsequently, the controller 180 displays a second graphic object announcing the additional information that has occurred on the display unit 151 according to a display screen of the first graphic object (S240). The second graphical object is an image that visually announces additional information to identify the event that has occurred, and may be, for example, an indicator icon notifying the sender information of the event that has occurred. product or time when the event occurs. Such a second graphic object may be displayed on at least one of an icon and the first graphic object. Here, the fact that the second graphic object is based on a display screen of the first graphic object means that when the display of the first graphic object 30 is changed, a display of the second graphic object is also changed accordingly. For example, when the first graphic object is an image indicating information about the number of events that have occurred (for example, "2"), and the second graphic object is an image indicating a time 3021766 to which the event the most recent occurs (for example, 10:00), if the first graphical object is changed (for example, "3") due to a newly detected event, the second graphical object is also changed correspondingly (by example, 10:30).
[0032] In addition, the controller 180 may change differently a position on which the second graphical object is displayed to further provide lower priority information regarding additional information. For example, when the second graphical object is displayed on the first graphical object and the second graphical object is displayed on the icon, different information can be provided, and different information can be provided depending on an area in the graphical object. which the second graphic object is displayed in the icon. In other words, the controller 180 can provide additional information, such as time flow and a change in importance when the display of the second graphical object is changed from a first position to a second position. For example, the user may recognize a time elapsed after a time when the event occurred by changing a display position of the second graphical object. As shown in (d) of Figure 3A, caller information 320 corresponding to an missed call notification icon 315 may be displayed in the icon 310 of a call application displayed on the home screen page 301. So, the user should not control a list of missed calls, and can immediately recognize that there is a missed call and that the number of callers is "small" via the first and second graphic objects 315 and 320 on the home screen page 301.
[0033] As illustrated in (c) of Fig. 3B, the provision of such information is particularly useful when the screen 303 in which another application is executed is currently displayed on the display unit 151. In others In other words, even when the user does not touch the icon 310b of the messaging application to execute the relevant application in (b) of FIG. 3B, the user can immediately receive additional information regarding the application. the event that occurred by displaying information 320b from the sender sending a message to overlap the icon 310b, as shown in (c) of Figure 3B. This minimizes the camouflage of the screen with respect to the case where the user is informed of the event that has occurred using a pop-up message displayed on the upper end of the display unit. display 151, and so makes a plurality of events are displayed, as will be described below in detail.
[0034] As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, even when the user does not execute the application having the event that has occurred, the user can immediately receive the additional information. regarding the uncontrolled event without further manipulation. Fig. 3B (b) and (c) shows the screen 304 scrolling with the icon 310b with information 310b and 315b not scrolling with the screen 303. Now, Figs. 4A through 4C are views of set representing various embodiments in which additional information about an event is displayed on an icon corresponding to an application. In particular, various methods of displaying additional information on a plurality of events are illustrated. In addition, application icons corresponding to different applications can be displayed on the home screen page displayed on the display unit 151. In this case, a separation distance between the displayed icons is reduced. Therefore, it is preferable that the second graphic object announcing the additional information of the event is intuitively recognized and that a display thereof is implemented simply. When the plurality of additional information blocks corresponding to the event are generated, the controller 180 may display a plurality of second graphic objects corresponding to the plurality of additional information blocks on a plurality of areas adjacent to the icon. For example, referring to (a) of Fig. 4C, the user can recognize three missed calls through a first graphical object 415 and the three missed calls come from two callers via a second graphical object 418 based on an icon 410 of a call application displayed on a home screen page 405. In this case, in order to provide information regarding a plurality of callers, as shown in (b) of Fig. 4C, the controller 30 may display 415c announcement information "corresponding to the first graphic object on the icon 410, and display a plurality of graphic objects 420c_1 and 420c_2 announcing the plurality of callers ("MOTHER", "JAE YOON") overlapping an area adjacent to the icon 410, for example, an edge area of the icon, and the graphic objects 420c_1 and 420c_2 can also be displayed rotating in a live ion (for example, clockwise) in the order in which the events occur. In (b) of FIG. 4C, when the caller information is displayed in a clockwise direction, the user can control that the missed calls come first from "MOTHER", and then from "JAE YOON". The controller 180 may display the plurality of second graphical objects corresponding to a plurality of additional information blocks to be distinguished from a plurality of zones in the icon. For example, referring to (b ") of Fig. 4C, the plurality of second graphic objects 420c lb and 420c 2b notifying the plurality of callers (" MOTHER "," JAE YOON ") can be displayed on a first zone 410a and a second zone 410b in the icon, respectively, while the first graphical object 415c notifying the number of missed calls is displayed adjacent to the icon 410.
[0035] The plurality of generated areas in the icon is determined by the number of second graphic objects. For example, when the number of second graphical objects is four, the first zone 410a and the second zone 410b can be further divided into four zones, and the plurality of callers can be displayed on the four divided zones.
[0036] The controller 180 may further display detailed information about the additional information corresponding to the second graphic object on at least one of the icon and the first graphic object. Here, the detailed information corresponds to other event information generated using the additional information corresponding to the second graphic object. The controller 180 can determine the detailed information based on preset information. The description of these will be provided below in more detail with reference to FIG.
[0037] For example, when additional information about a notification icon ("first graphical object") notifying ten missed calls includes the ten missed calls from three callers, all the credentials for the three callers (for example, address book name, phone number, and the like) can be displayed as detailed information about such additional information. In this case, the controller 180 may alternately display the second graphical object indicating only the additional information and the second changed graphical object further indicating the detailed information regarding the additional information on the display unit 151 at a time interval. preset. For example, as shown in (a) of Figure 4A, there are three missed calls 401 including 2 calls 401a of "MOTHER" and 1 call 401b of "JAE YOON". As shown in (b) of Fig. 4A, the notification icon 415 indicating the number of missed calls (e.g., three) is displayed on an area adjacent to the application icon 410. the call displayed on the home screen page 402, and the graphic object 418 indicating the number of different callers (for example, two) is displayed to overlap the icon 410. In this case, a preset transparency can be applied on the graphic object 418 so that the image that was originally displayed on the icon 410 is maintained.
[0038] Now, using the second graphical object 418 indicating that the number of different callers is two, as shown in (c) of FIG. 4A, the identification information 418b of a first caller, namely, "MOTHER Instead of "2" are displayed on the icon 410, and the number of missed calls corresponding to this, namely, "2" is displayed on the area 418a on which the announcement icon has been displayed. displayed. A highlighting effect (e.g., color change or transparency) may be outputted so that the user can recognize a change of the ad icon 415 to the graphical object announcing the number of missed calls of the first caller. Also, as shown in (d) of Fig. 4A, the screen is returned to the previously displayed screen shown in (b) of Fig. 4A. Further, the next caller's 418b "credentials, namely," JAE YOON "instead of" 2 "are displayed on the icon 410, as shown in (d) 3021766 36 Figure 4A, and the number of missed calls corresponding to this, namely, "1 is displayed on the area 418a" on which the announcement icon has been displayed. In addition, only caller identification information that coincides with a preset criterion may be displayed rather than the caller identification information of all missed calls. For example, using only the caller identification information that has the most of the ten missed calls, the screens shown in (b) and (c) of Figure 4A can be displayed in turn. The controller 180 may have a display corresponding to a flow of elapsed time after the time when the first or second graphic object displayed on the icon is displayed on the icon. For example, if the first or second graphic object corresponds to the event that has recently occurred (for example, that occurred within 30 minutes), the first graphic object and / or the second graphic object can be displayed in an intensified and vivid hue, and then hue, saturation, and brightness may become less intense and an attenuation effect may occur over time. In addition, such a display change of the graphic object can be applied proportionally to the number according to which the user consults the icon. Further, the controller 180 may display the additional information or detailed information about the additional information as a dynamic image based on an amount of information of the additional information corresponding to the second graphic object or the detailed information about the information. additional. In other words, when the additional information corresponding to the second graphic object or the detailed information about the additional information is not displayed on the notification icon or icon (ie, "first graphic object") simultaneously, additional information or detailed information about the additional information can be displayed as a dynamic image that moves in a preset direction.
[0039] For example, referring to (a) of FIG. 4B, the first and second graphical objects 415 and 418 respectively indicating the number of missed calls and the number of different callers are first displayed on the 410 icon. of the call application displayed on the home screen page 402 and, as shown in (b) and (c) of FIG. 4B, the announcement icon area 418a is displayed and, information 418b corresponding to the "first calling party name" and "first caller's telephone number" can be sequentially displayed and scrolled in one direction (for example, a side surface direction) as information. detailed information associated with these. In other words, if the amount of information of the detailed information to be displayed is large, a dynamic image 418b can be used to display the entire detailed information. In addition, the controller 180 may differently set a moving speed of the dynamic image according to the amount of information of the detailed information to be displayed. For example, if the amount of information of detailed information to be displayed is large, the speed of movement of the dynamic image can be increased. Also, in this case, when a touch gesture input is detected with respect to the icon on which the dynamic image is displayed, as the controller 180 stops the motion of the dynamic image or reduces the speed of movement, the user can accurately control the information displayed. Furthermore, as described above, when a predetermined touch gesture input is detected relative to the application icon while the additional information corresponding to the second graphic object or the detailed information about the additional information is displayed as a dynamic image, the controller 180 can execute the application corresponding to the icon in association with the detailed information. For example, when the predetermined touch gesture input, for example, a touch slip entry is applied to the relevant icon 410 while the information 418b "corresponding to the" first caller's name "and the" phone number of the first caller 'missed calls are displayed on the icon 410 of the dynamic picture call application in (c) of Figure 4B, the "first caller" corresponding to the displayed dynamic picture is called As is shown in (d) of Fig. 4B, furthermore, when the touch slip entry is applied to the icon 410 while the information 418b "corresponding to the" second caller's name "and the" number " the second caller's telephone number 3021766 38 missed calls are displayed in (c) of Figure 4B, "the second caller" may be called. The controller 180 can perform different control operations depending on the type of touch gesture input. For example, when the touch input applied to the icon 410 is slid in a direction in (c) of Fig. 4B, "the first caller" corresponding to the displayed dynamic picture 418b "is called. a short hit entry is applied to the 410 icon, the call application is executed and a list of phone records including missed calls is displayed, in which case the user wishes to call "10 first caller ", the user can use the displayed list of phone records to dial the phone number.As described above, when running an application with multiple events that occurred, a The desired specific event can be directly performed. <br/> [0015] At present, FIG. 5 includes overviews illustrating a method of setting a criterion for generating the additional information of the event. mentioned or detailed information about additional information in a terminal. A call application will be used as an example. As illustrated in (a) of Fig. 5, if an item "NOTIFICATION AND ABSENCE CALL METHOD" 510 is selected in a call setup menu screen 501, the controller 180 displays a popup window 520 , as shown in (b) of Figure 5. As such, the criterion of additional information regarding the missed call or detailed information about the additional information can be set.
[0040] A plurality of items 521 to 524 including different ranges of display of missed calls are displayed on pop-up window 520. Articles 521 to 524 may be, for example, an item "LIST DISPLAY OF ALL ABSENCE CALLS". 521 notifying all missed calls, an item "DISPLAYING MY ADDRESS BOOK ONLY" 522 notifying 30 only the caller's missed call stored in my address book, a "FAVORITES DISPLAY ONLY" 523 notifying only the call in the absence of a specific caller, and an "ABANDON" item 524 that does not display the missed call.
[0041] When the item "DISPLAYING MY ADDRESS BOOK ONLY" 522 is selected, as shown in (c) of FIG. 5, items 522a, 522b, and 522c for setting a display method of caller of the missed call are opened in a window 522_2. Articles 522a, 522b, 5 and 522c may be, for example, an "ELEMENTARY" article 522a notifying only the number of different callers in the missed call, an "ALL DISPLAY" 522b notifying all information about the caller. the missed call, and an item "ONLY MOST ABSENCE CALLS" 522c notifying information about the caller who has most of the missed calls. However, such articles are just examples and any article can be deleted or added. For example, Fig. 4A is an embodiment in which the "DISPLAY ALL" article 522b is selected in the popup window 520, and Fig. 4B is an embodiment in which the article "ONLY MOST CALLS IN ABSENCE "522c is selected. In addition, the more specific information corresponding to the displayed additional information can be displayed even without executing the application having the event having occurred. In this regard, Figs. 6A-6D are overall views showing embodiments in which the more specific information associated with the additional information of the event is displayed using a pop-up window. As shown in FIG. 6A, the controller 180 may display, for example, a notification icon 615 notifying the number of missed calls and a graphic object 618 notifying the number of different callers (for example, "3" ) on a first icon 610 displayed on a home screen page in response to detecting the event occurring from the application. Further, a notification icon 625 notifying the number of received messages and a graphic object 628 notifying information about the caller of the message (for example, "KYOUNG MI") can be displayed on a second icon 620 displayed on the page. home screen. As described above, while the notification icon (ie, "first graphical object") notifying the occurrence of the event and the graphical object 3021766 (ie, "second graphical object") notifying the additional information associated with the event is displayed, the controller 180 can detect that a touch gesture input is applied to the second graphic object. In this case, the controller 180 can perform different control operations 5 according to a type of touch gesture input detected. Specifically, as shown in (b) of Figure 6A, the controller 180 may display a pop-up window 630 associated with the second graphic object in response to an application of a touch-slip input to the second graphic object. At least one event element associated with the additional information with respect to the event is displayed on the pop-up window 630. Here, the at least one event element is composed of visual information that more specifically indicates the information. additional information associated with the event displayed on the second graphical object. For example, when the event element is set as a pop-up based on a missed call list, each event element can be a specific caller-out call. For example, as shown in (b) of Fig. 6A, if the touch input applied to the icon 610 on which the number of different callers 618 of the missed calls is displayed is drawn beyond a range preset, the pop-up window 630, on which the missed call list is displayed, is displayed. The pop-up window 630 is displayed so that elements 631, 632, and 633 of the number corresponding to the number of different callers displayed on the icon 610 can be distinguished from each other. For example, a caller name stored in the terminal address book, the number of missed calls, a time of reception of the missed call (for example, a time of receipt of the last missed call for each caller), and others, are displayed on the elements, respectively. The user can thus control the missed call received for each caller via the pop-up window 630. As will be described below in more detail with reference to FIGS. 6C and 6D, the user can select whether to run the application or whether to perform a specific application-related function via pop-up window 630. In addition, when a short-touch input is applied to the 3021766 41 second graphic object, the controller 180 can execute the application corresponding to the icon on which the second graphic object is displayed, and display the screen corresponding to the execution on the display unit 151. The controller 180 can realize various commands that are performed on the pop-up window according to the extent to which the touch-slip input applied to the second graphical object is dragged. Specifically, when the dragging operation leaves a range of a criterion (e.g., a horizontal / vertical length of an icon), the controller 180 may display a pop-up window. When a touch-up event occurs while the drag range is not leaving the range of the criterion, for example, the pop-up window 630 "may be rolled up like paper and disappear from the display unit 151. As shown in (a) and (b) of Figure 6B, the controller 180 can set the pop-up window to a position in which the drag operation leaves the range of the criterion and is released. this is shown in (c) of Fig. 6B, when the sliding is moved upward to a position in the display unit 151, the pop-up window 630 does not disappear and is fixed at the corresponding position as a sticker. In this case, if a form of "X" is displayed on an area of the pop-up window 630, for example, the right side of the top end, the pop-up window 630 disappears.Execution icons 635a and 635b of 'at least one The application corresponding to each event element associated with the additional information of the event can also be displayed on pop-up window 630, as shown in (a) of Figure 6C. In this case, the controller 180 can execute the application corresponding to the selected execution icon in association with the relevant event element in response to the selection of the execution icon for any of the elements. event. For example, a specific execution icon 635a_1 displayed on the popup window 630 can be selected, as shown in (b) of Fig. 6C, and the dialing of a specific calling party number of the missed calls. , ie, "OFFICE" is directly performed. In other words, as shown in (c) of Fig. 6C, the home screen page that has been displayed on the display unit 151 is immediately changed to a call screen. 602. When the touch input is detected with respect to an area other than the area in which the run icons 635a and 635b are displayed in the pop-up window 630, the controller 180 stops displaying the pop-up window. display unit 151, and the corresponding application is executed in association with the pop-up window. Here, executing the application in conjunction with the pop-up window means that the screen associated with the information displayed on the pop-up window is first displayed when the application is run.
[0042] For example, referring to (a) and (b) of Fig. 6D, when the touch gesture input is detected with respect to a position of an area 632 which is distinguished from the area in which the icons 635a and 635b are displayed in the pop-up window 630, the controller 180 can display a missed call list page 603 associated with the pop-up window 630 on the display unit 151, as shown in FIG. (c) of Figure 6D. The announcement icon (ie, "first graphical object") announcing the occurrence of the event and the graphical object (ie, "second graphical object") used to provide the additional information regarding the The notification icon may be refreshed each time the event occurs, and may disappear when the user finishes controlling the event. Now, a function to continuously display the notification icon and the graphic object can also be performed on the controlled event. In this regard, Figs. 7A and 7B are overviews illustrating a method for the controlled event according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example, as illustrated in (a) of Fig. 7A, the controller 180 may display a numerical value "10" 715 adjacent to an icon 710 displayed on a home screen page 701, and a value digital "3" 718 on the icon 710 in response to detecting an incoming event in which a total of 10 messages are received from three different senders.
[0043] As described above, while the notification icon and the additional information of the event are displayed, and when the touch input is detected with respect to the icon, the controller 180 may display a first a screen indicating that the application corresponding to the icon on which the touch input is detected is executed in association with the first and second graphic objects on the display unit 151. For example, as shown in b) of Figure 7A, the home screen page 701 is switched to a list screen 702 having 10 incoming messages displayed thereon. In this case, incoming message elements 721, 722, and 723 for respective message senders are displayed on the list screen 702 so that they can be distinguished from each other. When the user selects an incoming message item 721 corresponding to a specific sender in the list screen 702, the controller 180 may display a message window screen 703 corresponding to the relevant item 721, as shown in FIG. (c) of Figure 7A, and thus the user can view (or control) a content of the incoming message. In this case, when the detected event has been viewed in the first screen, the controller 180 may stop displaying the first and second graphic objects corresponding to the icon or updating them in the second screen (for example, page d). Home screen) on which the icon is displayed. For example, after the user checks the incoming message in (c) of Fig. 7A, when a return function key 123_b is selected, the home screen page 701 is displayed again, as is represented in (d) of FIG. 7A. In addition, the notification icon and the additional information that has been displayed are updated. In other words, the information concerning the number of messages consulted and the sender information is deleted, and a notification icon 715 "and a graphic object 718" notifying that there are three incoming messages from two different senders are displayed.
[0044] In addition, the continuous display function of the notification icon and the graphic object, even after the detected event has been accessed, can be realized. For example, according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the notification icon notifying the occurrence of the event and the graphic object notifying the additional information associated with the event are displayed on the icon of the present invention. application, if the touch input is detected with respect to the pop-up window by making a short touch or a touch-sensitive slide on the relevant icon, the controller 180 may display the first screen on which there is at least one element of event corresponding to the detected event, for example, incoming message list 702, as shown in (a) of Figure 7B. The user can control that the total incoming messages are received from three different senders via the message list 702. When a predetermined touch input, for example, a long touch input is applied to the message, the message is received. specific incoming message element 723 in the message list 702 including elements 721, 722 and 723, as illustrated in (a) of FIG. 7B, the controller 180 can display a menu window 740 including elements 741- 743 to set a function specific to the incoming message element 723 on the display unit 151, as shown in (b) of Fig. 7B.
[0045] The menu window 740 includes a "NOTIFICATION HOLD" article 743. This article may be activated when there is at least one unobserved event in the selected specific incoming message item 723. When the "HOLDING OF NOTIFICATION "743 is selected in the menu window 740, an image 750 indicating that the notification hold function has been applied, for example, a thumbtack image is displayed on the corresponding article 723, as is shown in (c) of Figure 7B. As described above, the controller 180 may perform a command so that the displays of the first and second graphic objects are maintained in the second screen on which the icon is displayed, or change the display of the first and second graphical objects in response to detecting the holding input of an event notification relating to at least one event element in the first screen on which the at least one event corresponding to the event has been displayed. Thus, even during an incoming message control operation on item 723 on which the notification hold function is applied, as shown in (d) of FIG. 7B, the displays of 715 notification and 718 graphical object that were previously output are maintained, as shown in (e) of Figure 7B. In addition, the change of the display of the first and second graphic objects according to the input corresponds to the addition of the display 30 only to the consultation of the event rather than to the change of the information associated with the display. 'event. In other words, the information associated with the event can be maintained and the controller 180 can display an image announcing that the user has pre-checked, for example, an image in which the first and second graphic objects are displayed. differently from the previous color or to be less intense than the previous state. When a display icon 750 notifying that the notification maintenance function has been applied and displayed, as shown in (c) of FIG. 7B, the controller 180 can execute the application corresponding to the icon. on which the touch input is detected in association with the event element displayed on it. In other words, when the messaging application is executed, a chat window corresponding to the event element 723 having the event hold display 750 displayed thereon is displayed on the unit. For example, when the touch input is applied to the icon in (c) of Fig. 7B, the screen is immediately switched to a chat window screen 704, shown in (d) of FIG. Figure 7B. In addition, when the screen is swapped to the home screen page having the corresponding icon displayed thereon after the ad-keeping function is executed through an item of specific event, the controller 180 may display an image indicating that control of the event has been achieved. Further, the fact that such a function associated with the maintenance of the notification is performed or not can be determined through the contextual window displayed in response to the application of the touch-slip input to the second object. graphic. In other words, an input area for displaying that the consultation of the event has been performed on at least one event element may further be displayed on the pop-up window described above. Such an input area may be expressed, for example, in the popup window or as a "checkbox" for each event element of the pop-up window. Depending on a type of a touch input applied to the "check box", the controller 180 may recognize that the relevant event has been accessed or the notification hold function has been applied to the relevant event. When the input indicating that the relevant event has been accessed is applied to the input area, the controller 180 may change the display of the first and second graphic objects according to the input. As described above, according to one embodiment of the present invention, by maintaining the event notification of the specific event monitored, thereafter the event information corresponding to the specific event may be quickly consulted again. In addition, the notification and the graphic object may be displayed on the status display area having the information associated with the current status of a mobile terminal displayed thereon. When a return key 123_b is selected, as shown in (d) of Fig. 7B, the home screen page 701 is displayed again, as shown in (e) of Fig. 7B. In more detail, Figs. 8A to 8C are overviews illustrating a method of selectively controlling an event in a state display area in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The controller 180 can detect that an event is occurring from at least one application. The "application" can be represented by an "application program" or an "applied program", and refers to all types of programs that can be controlled in a terminal. Such an application may be, for example, a program associated with updating a web browser, an animated image, a calendar management, a call, a game, a music, a discussion paper, a message, a financial transaction, an e-book, traffic information, and an application. In the meantime, an "event" occurring from the application 20 corresponds to influencing an operation of at least one application installed in a terminal body, changing an element of a database (or a database file) associated with the at least one application, or transferring or transmitting data with an external terminal or an external network via the at least one application. For example, the occurrence of the event may include cases where there is a missed call, where there is an application to be refreshed, where a message is received, for the load, where the terminal is set. when the power is turned off, an LCD wake key is pressed, the alarm rings, the incoming call is made, and the notification case is missed. In addition, when specific information is received via the wireless communication unit 110, an event may occur from an application associated with the received specific information. Now, the controller 180 can detect a touch gesture input on the display unit 151 on a state display area in which information associated with the current state of the mobile terminal is displayed. Here, the touch gesture input is, for example, a gesture input of dragging a touch input applied to an upper end area of the display unit 151 down, and the display area state is represented in a sliding direction.
[0046] When the drag continues to the end of the lower end zone, the status display area is displayed on the entire display unit 151. In addition, the notification icon associated with the The detected event and the graphic object announcing the additional information are displayed on an area of the status display area. Here, the graphic object announcing the additional information can be implemented in the form of a long bar in a horizontal direction, and such a bar-shaped graphic object can be displayed on the corresponding icon and the area adjacent to the notification icon. For example, when two missed calls originate from two different callers, as illustrated in (a) of Figure 8A, a notification icon 815 (ie, "first graphical object") notifying the number of calls in time. Absence received is displayed on a second zone 801b distinguished from a first zone 801a together with an icon 811 of a calling application. In addition, information from different senders ("MOTHER", "FATHER"), namely, a graphic object 818 (ie, "second graphic object") notifying sender names and the number of missed calls. from each sender is further displayed. As illustrated in (a) of Fig. 8A, the icon 811, the notification icon 815, and the graphic object 818 can be displayed as a bar 810. In this case, when a quantity of information relating to the information of different senders 818 is large, the information can be displayed as a dynamic image that moves in a predetermined direction. As described above, when a predetermined touch gesture input, a long touch input, a touch slip input, or a nip-in / nip-in input is detected with respect to an area in which the first graphical object is displayed while the second graphical object is displayed, the controller 180 may display a plurality of event articles associated with the additional information corresponding to the second graphical object. In addition, the plurality of event elements are visual information that indicates additional information associated with the event displayed on the second graphical object in more detail. For example, missed calls may be displayed as a plurality of elements 820 including elements 821 and 822 distinguished from each other for each sender, as shown in (b) of Figure 8A. Also, execution icons 830a and 830b to directly execute the corresponding application are further displayed on each element. In this case, the controller 180 can perform different operations according to a type of a touch gesture input applied to the bar. For example, when a short touch input is detected relative to an area in which the first graphical object is displayed, a plurality of event elements are not displayed, and the screen is changed to the display screen. list of missed calls. Further, when a touch input sliding in a lateral surface direction is detected with respect to the area in which the first graphic object is displayed, the bar 15 on which the first and second graphic objects are displayed disappears in a direction of sliding. In the meantime, the sender corresponding to item 821 may be directly called, as shown in (c) of FIG. 8A, in response to the selection of the execution icon 830a displayed on the item 821 in (b) of Figure 8A. In other words, a method for the plurality of events that have occurred is not performed in several steps, but is directly realized. The controller 180 may display a plurality of event elements to view a plurality of events in the state display area in different ways. For example, the plurality of event elements may be generated for each entity corresponding to a specific criterion. Here, an entity is an aggregate for storing and managing useful information and corresponds to event elements generated with respect to a message received from the same sender and an instant message received from the same newsgroup, respectively. In this case, when any of the plurality of output event items 30 is selected, the controller 180 may execute the corresponding application in association with the selected event item. For example, when a notification bar 840 according to an embodiment of the present invention is generated in a status display area in (a) of Fig. 8B, a corresponding icon 841, the number of messages received uncontrolled 845, and the number of different senders 848 that send messages are displayed. When a separation pinch input or a sliding touch input down from the top of the screen is detected with respect to an area on which the announcement bar 840 is displayed, as is represented in (a) of FIG. 8B, the controller 180 may display incoming messages for each entity 851, 852, and 853, as shown in (b) of FIG. 8B. Further, when any element 852 of the distinguishable entity-specific event elements 851, 852, and 853 is selected, the screen is moved to a message window corresponding to the selected element, as is shown in (c) of Figure 8B. In addition, when a predetermined touch input is applied to the announcement bar 840, a predetermined input area for displaying the fact that each event has been viewed can be displayed on each of the distinguished event articles. specific entity. For example, as shown in (a) of Figure 8C, "check boxes" 855 corresponding to an input area for displaying the event are respectively displayed on the plurality of event elements 851, 852 , and 853 open due to the predetermined touch gesture input application on the notification bar 840.
[0047] Thus, the user can use the "checkbox" to display the unseen message intended to be accessed even without directly consulting the contents of the event by executing the application corresponding to the relevant event article. As described above, when a check mark (a checkmark) is entered, the display of the corresponding notification icon and additional information disappears on the screen. This is particularly useful when the message includes content already known by unsolicited message ("spam" in English) or a popup message ("pop up" in English). In this manner, when check marks are entered in the selected items 851 and 853 of the plurality of event elements 851, 852, and 853, the notification icon and the graphic object announcing the additional information with respect to the event that has been displayed on the notification bar can be changed, as shown in (b) of Figure 8C. In other words, the controller 180 recognizes that five unanswered messages of 3021766 "ELDER SISTER" and an unviewed message of "SUPER RECIPE" were consulted. Also, only one notification icon 845 "for three messages of" GYU WOO "and additional information 848", which are the remaining items, are displayed on the announcement bar 840. The corresponding event element 852 is hidden. Now, FIG. 9 includes overviews showing a method of displaying additional information of an event when the event is detected in a folder including a plurality of applications in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. invention. As described above, when the event is detected, the notification icon (ie, "first graphical object") notifying event detection and additional information (ie, "second graphical object"). Associated with the displayed event according to the display of the notification icon are displayed together with the icon of the corresponding application.
[0048] In this case, the application icon, the corresponding notification icon, and the additional information may be displayed on the home screen page on which the application icon is always displayed, and an area (for example, the left side area of the bottom end) of the screen (for example, a web page) that is currently displayed. In this case, the restriction can be realized so that only the application icon corresponding to the last event, the corresponding notification icon, and the additional information are displayed. In addition, when the home screen page includes a plurality of pages, and the notification icons respectively corresponding to the icons of the plurality of applications displayed on different pages, and the additional information is displayed, when the user apply the predetermined touch input (for example, which is selected using the pop-up menu window due to the long-touch input) so that it can control the notification icon and the icons on which the Additional information is displayed simultaneously, notification icons and icons can be displayed collectively on a page. A representative icon, for example, a folder icon in which a plurality of icons are collected, may be displayed on the home screen page. In this case, when the event is detected in the application corresponding to any one of the plurality of icons corresponding to the folder icon, a method of displaying additional information of the event is as follows. -after. According to one embodiment, when the icon displayed on the display unit 151 is the folder image including the plurality of icons corresponding to the plurality of applications, the controller 180 may display the additional information associated with the plurality of applications. the event, i.e., the second graphic object on an icon image corresponding to the application in which the event displayed in the relevant folder image is detected.
[0049] For example, as shown in (a) of Figure 9, at least some of the icons 921, 922, 923, and 924 corresponding to applications that are included in a folder is a 910 folder icon displayed on a page of the application. Home screen 901. Information 915 (eg, "1") ("first graphical object") regarding the number of all events occurring from the applications is displayed adjacent to the folder icon. 910, and an ad icon 918 ("second graphical object") is displayed on the 921 icon of the application for the event that occurs in the 910 folder icon for the application to the event that occurs can be identified. In another embodiment, the controller 180 may change the first graphic object displayed adjacent to the folder icon to a representative image associated with the application in which the event is detected. For example, the first graphic object 915 displayed on the right side area of the upper end of the folder icon 910 in (a) of Fig. 9 is replaced with the application icon image for the application. event occurring and an image 915_B on which information concerning the number of events that have occurred is displayed, as shown in (b ") of FIG. 9. In this case, when the gesture entry predetermined touch (e.g., short touch input) is detected with respect to the displayed image 915 B, the application corresponding to the selected image 915_B (e.g., "F") is executed, and the information of the event corresponding to the event that occurred are displayed on the display unit 151, as shown in (c) of FIG. 9.
[0050] According to yet another embodiment, the controller 180 can change differently a type of arrangement of the plurality of icons displayed in the folder image so that the icon corresponding to the application in which the event is detected in the folder icon is displayed in the folder icon. For example, a notification icon 915_A notifying all three events occurring from the applications included in the folder icon 910 is displayed in (b) of Figure 9. In this case, only the information regarding the number of Events that have occurred are displayed on the icon (eg, "A") of the application in which two events that were originally displayed in the 910 folder icon occur. In addition, while the icon (for example, "F") of the application in which another event occurs is not displayed originally in the 910 folder icon, other icons (for example, For example, "B, C, and D" displayed in the folder icon 910 may be arranged for the icon (e.g., "F") of the application for the event that occurs to be displayed. In this case, when the detected event has been checked, the modified layout of the icons returns to the previous arrangement. In addition, another image notifying the occurrence of the event, for example, an image having different sizes, colors, or shapes of the relevant icon can be displayed on the icon corresponding to the application for the event. that occurs in the folder icon, or a highlight effect can be displayed on the relevant icon. Now, Figs. 10A to 10D are views showing various embodiments in which additional event information is displayed differently depending on a type of a detected application as compared to various embodiments which have have been described above in accordance with an embodiment of the present description. In particular, Fig. 10A shows an embodiment in which additional event information is displayed when the plurality of different types of events occur from a message application.
[0051] In more detail, when three unvisited messages are received from three different senders, and a refresh event occurs in the messaging application, information 1018 from three different senders is displayed on a 1010 icon, and a first notification icon 1015a and a second notification icon 1015b distinguished according to the types of events that have occurred are displayed on an area adjacent to the icon 1010, as shown in (a) of Fig. 10A. For example, the first notification icon 1015a notifies the occurrence of an incoming message event, and the second notification icon 1015b notifies the occurrence of a refresh event. When a drag operation is performed so that the touch input applied to the icon 1010 leaves a range of a criterion, a pop-up window 1030 including information associated with the event that occurred 10 is displayed, as shown in (b) of Figure 10A. When a control mark ("V") is entered by the user for a refresh event element 1031 through the popup window 1030, the controller 180 can recognize that the refresh event has has been checked, and stop displaying the second notification icon 1015b without having to execute the application, as shown in (c) of FIG. 10A. In addition, Fig. 10B shows an embodiment in which additional information of an event is displayed when the event in which status information, associated with a game execution in a game application, is changed, becomes product. When the event occurring from the game application is, for example, the case where the state information associated with the game execution is gradually changed according to a time flow, a dynamic animation effect. for example, a progressive change of a color can be displayed on the icon for such a progressive change to be reflected on the corresponding icon.
[0052] For example, in the state information in which the game can not be directly executed, the entire icon can be displayed monochrome 1021, as shown in (a) of FIG. 10B, and then at least a portion of the icon may be colored 1022 depending on the time flow, as shown in (b) of Figure 10B. When the state information is completely changed, the entire icon can be displayed in a colored manner and an enhancement effect (for example, displaying an edge as a thick line, and a flashing effect). 1023 can be displayed on the relevant icon, as shown in (c) of Figure 10B.
[0053] Now, Fig. 10C shows an embodiment in which additional information of an event is displayed when the event in which a position of a terminal is changed in a meteorological application occurs. In order to provide meteorological information regarding a current position of the meteorological application terminal, the positional information of the terminal may be received using, for example, a Global Positioning System (GPS). In this case, the positional information received from the terminal can be changed from a first notification icon 1045 (for example, "GANG NAM") 10 to a second notification icon 1045 "(for example," SU SEO ") and displayed. on an area adjacent to an icon 1040, as shown in (a) and (b) of Fig. 10C Also, an image corresponding to meteorological information of a relevant region can be changed and displayed on the icon 1040 according to the change of the positional information In other words, a "sun image" 1048 may be displayed as additional information with respect to the first notification icon 1045 (for example, "GANG NAM"), and then changed to a "heavy rainfall image" 1048 "as additional information with respect to the second notification icon 1045" (for example, "SU SEO"). 20-touch slip is applied to the icon 1040, a pop-up window 1050 including detailed information such as weekly meteorological information about the relevant region (eg, "SU SEO") is displayed, as shown in (c) of Figure 10C. As described above, the mobile terminal and the control method for the mobile terminal according to the embodiments of the present invention can visually and directly consult the additional information with respect to the event not viewed on the current screen even without realizing the application for the event that occurs. Also, the event information corresponding to the specific event can subsequently be retrieved by continuously maintaining the event notification for the specific event among the monitored events. When the application in which the plurality of events occur is executed, custom user information may be provided by displaying the event information corresponding to the event that the user wishes to view first rather than the relative screen. to the event that recently occurred. Since the present features may be embodied in several forms without departing from the features thereof, it should also be understood that the embodiments described above are not limited by any of the details of the foregoing description unless otherwise indicated. but rather should be interpreted generally within the scope as defined in the appended claims, and therefore all changes and modifications within the limits and limits of the claims, or equivalents of such terminals and limits are therefore intended to be encompassed by the appended claims.
