As shown in the figure, the automatic method for establishing a local area communication according to the embodiment includes steps (S201 and S203) for determining whether a communication terminal device that can be interconnected through local area communication is registered and satisfies predetermined local area communication setting conditions do.

If a predetermined communication path such as a wide area communication network (e.g., a mobile communication network, a public switched telephone network or the like) or a D2D communication channel is available after confirming the previously registered communication terminal apparatus when the local area communication setting condition is satisfied, (S205 to S209) of transmitting the local area communication automatic setting information to the already registered communication terminal apparatus. Here, the start signal for the predetermined application program may be transmitted together with the short-range communication automatic setting information or may be transmitted separately.

When another communication terminal apparatus receiving the local area communication automatic setting information analyzes the authentication information included in the local area communication automatic setting information and then transmits the terminal status information such as communication channel state information and power consumption state information related to the local area communication (S211 to S215) for storing the same and making it available for automatic rewinding of the terminal state at a later time.

If the other communication terminal apparatus that has received the local area communication automatic setting information automatically sets the local area communication function based on the local area communication automatic setting information, the step (S217 and S219) automatically establishes the mutual connection of the local area communication channel do. Here, among the plurality of short-range communication channels, channels other than the channels connected based on the short-range communication automatic setting information may be inactivated. In addition, content sharing, file transmission, screen mirroring or AP tethering can be performed through mutually connected short-distance communication channels. If a start signal for the predetermined application program is transmitted in step S209, the corresponding application program may be automatically activated in the other communication terminal apparatus that received the start signal (S221).

Next, the method further includes steps (S223 and S225) of determining whether the connection state of the short-range communication channel is satisfied after the channel connection state is guided and whether the predetermined condition of the terminal state is satisfied.

The method further includes a step (S227) of transmitting a terminal state automatic request signal to the communication terminal device to which the local communication channel is connected if the condition of the terminal state changing condition is satisfied, via the predetermined communication path or the local communication channel. Here, the terminal status information of the other party stored in step S215 can be transmitted together or transmitted separately. In addition, a termination signal for a predetermined application program can be transmitted together with the terminal status automatic call signal or can be transmitted separately. Then, the corresponding application program is automatically terminated according to the termination signal for the application program (S229), the local communication channel is released corresponding to the terminal state information, and the terminal state can be automatically rewound (S231).

Hereinafter, the automatic setting process of the short distance communication between the communication terminal apparatuses # 1 (100-1) and 100 (N) according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. .

First, the control unit 170 of the communication terminal apparatus # 1 100-1 executes the operating system program 151 stored in the memory unit 150 to boot the communication terminal apparatus 100. [

If a predetermined selection signal is input through the user input unit 130 or an icon or the like predefined through the GUI of the display unit 141 is selected, the controller 170 executes the local communication setting program 152 to determine The terminal 171, the terminal setting controller 172, and the channel setting unit 173 can perform the local communication automatic setting function according to the embodiment of the present invention. Alternatively, the communication unit setting program 152 may be automatically executed by the control unit 170 when the communication terminal apparatus 100 is booted.

Here, when the local area communication setup program 152 is executed for the first time, a procedure for registering the communication terminal units that can be interconnected through local area communication must be performed. To this end, the terminal setting controller 172 controls the display unit 141 of the output unit 140 to output a guidance screen for a procedure for registering communication terminal apparatuses that can be interconnected through short-distance communication.

For example, the display unit 141 of the communication terminal apparatus # 1 (100-1) is guided to input and register a telephone number such as MIN of the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) . Then, it transmits an interconnection request message to the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) of the registered telephone number through the mobile communication network 10. At this time, the display unit 141 of the communication terminal apparatus # 1 (100-1) can display a password to be input from the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) for mutual registration setting.

Next, the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) indicates a state in which the mutual registration setting is requested by the communication terminal apparatus # 1 (100-1), and thereafter, The communication terminal apparatus # 1 100-1 and the communication terminal apparatus N (100-N) enter identification information (e.g., a telephone number) that can be used when designating the other party, And registers it in a communication terminal device which can be connected to each other. At this time, a password for mutual registration setting can be input in the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N). For example, a MIN, an IP (Internet Protocol) address, a MAC (Media Access Control) address, or the like may be used as the identification information for specifying the other party at the time of connecting the short-range communication channel. Thus, the registration procedure for mutual connection of the communication terminal apparatus # 1 (100-1) and the communication terminal apparatus N (100-N) is completed (S201).

Next, the determination unit 171 of the communication terminal apparatus # 1 (100-1) determines whether the operation state of the communication terminal apparatus 100 satisfies the predetermined local communication setting condition (S203). For example, when a predetermined icon or button is selected on the screen that can be displayed on the display unit 141 according to the execution of the short-range communication setting program 152, or a predetermined selection signal is inputted through the user input unit 130 It can be determined that the preset short-range communication setting condition is satisfied.

Next, the terminal setting controller 172 of the communication terminal apparatus # 1 (100-1) confirms the identification information of the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) previously registered in step S201 (S205) The local area communication automatic setting information can be transmitted to the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) via the mobile communication network 10 when the mobile communication network 10 is in the available state (S207).

Here, the mobile communication network 10 capable of transmitting the short-range communication automatic setting information is an example of a predetermined communication path between the communication terminal apparatus # 1 (100-1) and the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) A D2D (Device to Device) communication channel of 3GPP which is a direct connection method between communication terminal apparatuses, or other wide area communication network or public switched telephone network may be used.

In addition, MIN, IP address, or MAC address may be used as identification information for specifying the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) included in the short-range communication automatic setting information. The short-range communication automatic setting information may include an identifier, a security code, and the like for a channel requiring automatic connection setting among a plurality of short-range communication channels. In addition, MIN, IP address, MAC address, SSID (Service Set Identifier), and the like may be transmitted together with the short-range communication automatic setting information as authentication information for establishing connection of the short-range communication channel.

In addition, the start signal for the preset application program may be transmitted together with the short-range communication automatic setting information, or may be transmitted separately. That is, after the short-range communication channel is automatically set, information on the application or the associated application program is set and stored in the communication terminal apparatus # 1 (100-1) in advance, and a start signal for the application program thus set and stored can be transmitted have. For example, a start signal may be transmitted for application programs capable of content sharing, file transfer, screen mirroring, or AP tethering over a short distance communication channel.

In addition, the short-range communication automatic setting information can be transmitted through a traffic channel, using a short message service (SMS) of a specific TID (Tele-service ID), or using various signaling methods such as SMS including a specific character string . Alternatively, it may be transmitted in the form of a packet-based message (S209).

Here, if the communication terminal apparatus capable of receiving the local area communication automatic setting information in step S209 is registered, the communication terminal apparatus # 1 (100-1) determines that the predetermined local communication setting condition is satisfied in step S203 . That is, after the step S201 is performed for the first time, the local communication automatic setting information transmission process of step S209 may be automatically executed after booting.

Then, the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) that has received the local area communication automatic setting information from the communication terminal apparatus # 1 (100-1) analyzes the authentication information included in the local area communication automatic setting information, It is confirmed that the terminal is a registered terminal device (S211).

Then, the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) collects the current terminal status information and transmits the collected terminal status information to the communication terminal apparatus # 1 (100-1) (S213). For example, the terminal status information collected at this time may be communication channel status information related to short-range communication such as Wi-Fi on / off information, Bluetooth on / off information, Near Field Communication (NFC) on / Further, status information such as touch vibration on / off information, display on / off information, display brightness information, and the like, which are highly related to power consumption, may be further included. Here, the communication path through which the terminal status information is returned may be a communication path such as the mobile communication network 10 used in step S209. Alternatively, the 3GPP D2D communication channel, the other wide area communication network or the public switched telephone network, which is a direct connection type between the communication terminal apparatus # 1 (100-1) and the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) .

Next, the communication terminal apparatus # 1 (100-1) receives the terminal state information from the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N), stores the terminal state information, and makes it available for use at the time of automatic terminal state automatic rewarming (S215).

Subsequently, when the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) that has received the local area communication automatic setting information automatically sets the local area communication function based on the local area communication automatic setting information (S217), the communication terminal apparatus # The communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) automatically establishes a connection with the local communication channel. That is, the communication terminal apparatus # 1 (100-1) and the channel setting unit 173 of the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) establish mutual close communication channels. For example, when the communication channel states of the communication terminal apparatuses # 1 (100-1) and 100 (N) are in the Wi-Fi off state, the Bluetooth off state, and the NFC on state, So that the WiFi direct-on state can be changed so that the automatic mirroring can be performed. At this time, the channel setting unit 173 of the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) searches the usable local communication channel and then inputs authentication information such as MIN, IP address, MAC address or SSID, The password used in the registration process can be entered together.

Here, among the plurality of short-range communication channels, the remaining channels excluding the channels connected based on the short-range communication automatic setting information are transmitted to the terminal setting controller (100-N) of the communication terminal apparatus # 0.0 > 172 < / RTI > This is to reduce power consumption by disabling unnecessary parts for current terminal operation. For example, when the WiFi direct-on state is changed for automatic mirroring, other short-range communication channels such as Bluetooth and NFC may be turned off. To reduce power consumption, touch vibration off, display off, .

In addition, content sharing, file transfer, screen mirroring, or AP tethering are performed between the communication terminal apparatuses # 1 (100-1) and 100 (N) through a mutually connected local communication channel . Here, in the case of the AP tethering, when the communication terminal apparatus # 1 100-1 acts as an AP, the AP function by the short range communication unit 112 is activated prior to step S209 to form a Wi-Fi hot spot , When the communication terminal apparatus #N 100-N serves as an AP, the AP function by the local communication unit 112 is activated in step S217 to form a Wi-Fi hot spot (S219).

In step S209, when the activation signal for the predetermined application program is transmitted, the corresponding application program is automatically activated in the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) receiving the activation signal (S221).

When the communication terminal apparatuses # 1 (100-1) and the communication terminal apparatus N (100-N) are automatically connected via the local communication channel in step S219, the display unit 141 guides the channel connection status through the screen (S223).

On the other hand, in the short-range communication channel connection setting state between the communication terminal apparatus # 1 100-1 and the communication terminal apparatus N (100-N), the determination unit 171 of the communication terminal apparatus # And judges whether or not the state satisfies the preset terminal condition rewrite condition. For example, when the execution of the local communication setup program 152 is terminated or the power supply of the communication terminal apparatus # 1 (100-1) is increased, the determination unit 171 can determine that the predetermined terminal state lighting condition is satisfied (S225) .

Then, if it is determined by the determination unit 171 that the terminal condition original condition is satisfied, the terminal setting control unit 172 of the communication terminal apparatus # 1 100-1 controls the communication unit 110 to control the communication terminal apparatus #N 100-N). Such an automatic terminal status signal may be transmitted through a predetermined communication path such as the mobile communication network 10 or may be transmitted through a short distance communication channel connected in step S219.

Here, the terminal status information of the other party stored in step S215 can be transmitted together or transmitted separately. In addition, a termination signal for a predetermined application program may be transmitted together with the terminal status automatic request signal or transmitted separately (S227).

Then, in the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N), the corresponding application program is automatically terminated according to the termination signal for the application program (S229), the local communication channel is released in response to the terminal status information, In addition, touch vibration, display brightness control, etc., which were performed to reduce power consumption, are also restored to their original state. That is, in step S217, the terminal state is restored as in the state immediately before the local communication function is set to automatic (S231).

In addition, in step 219, the connected local area communication channel is automatically switched by the communication terminal apparatus # 1 (100-1) on the transmission side or the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) Lt; / RTI > For example, the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) may automatically release the short-range communication channel to which the connection is established if data is not received through the short-range communication channel for more than the predetermined characteristic time after step S219.

The automatic procedure for establishing the close range communication of the communication terminal apparatus # 1 (100-1) and the communication terminal apparatus #N (100-N) according to the embodiment of the present invention has been exemplified. The automatic method for establishing the local area communication according to the embodiment of the present invention may be performed between two terminal devices as illustrated, or between three or more terminal devices. For example, after the communication terminal apparatuses # 1 (100-1) and (100-N) are mutually connected via short distance communication, the communication terminal apparatuses # 1 (100-1) -N may be additionally connected to other communication terminal apparatuses through steps S209 to S219.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the communication terminal apparatus can automatically connect the short-range communication channel using the communication over the wide-area communication network or the D2D communication channel.

The present invention provides a convenience of automatically establishing connection of a short distance communication channel regardless of whether a user of the communication terminal apparatus can directly perform a short distance communication channel connection procedure between the terminal apparatuses.

In addition, the present invention automatically connects the short distance communication channel regardless of the type of short distance communication technology applied to the communication terminal apparatus.

In addition, the local communication channels are automatically connected not only in the proximity environment of the communication terminal devices but also in a somewhat distant environment within the effective range of the applied local communication technology.

Furthermore, unnecessary parts of the plurality of short-range communication channels, other than the channels automatically connected, can be inactivated to reduce power consumption.
