According to a hardware implementation, the embodiments described herein include application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), digital signal processors (DSPs), digital signal processing devices (DSPDs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and the like. It may be implemented using at least one of processors, controllers, micro-controllers, microprocessors, and electrical units for performing other functions. The described embodiments may be implemented by the controller 180 itself.

According to the software implementation, embodiments such as the procedures and functions described herein may be implemented as separate software modules. Each of the software modules may perform one or more functions and operations described herein. Software code may be implemented in software applications written in the appropriate programming languages. The software code may be stored in the memory 160 and executed by the controller 180.

The mobile terminal referred to herein may include at least one of the components shown in FIG. 1. In addition, the controller 180 may control an individual operation of an element or a link operation between a plurality of elements in order to perform an operation using a component (for example, a touch screen, a wireless communication unit, or a memory).

An application referred to herein may be a software program that can be driven in a mobile terminal, and when executed in the mobile terminal, may perform a corresponding function or a corresponding operation, and may be basically stored in a mobile terminal (particularly, the memory 160) or may be an external server. (Or external terminal) can be downloaded.

For example, the application may include a compass, augmented reality, a camera, a video player, a music player, a game, news, a web browser, a message, a phone book, a memo, a schedule management, and the like. Of course, the application is not limited to the above examples and can be implemented in more various ways.

In addition, there may be content or data associated with the application as well as the application itself. In this case, the associated content or data may be stored in the memory 160 or may be stored in an external server having a storage space.

For example, the content may include an audio file (associated with a music player), a video file (associated with a video player), a document file (associated with an e-book), and the like. The data may also include message content (associated with the message), memo content (associated with the note), counterpart information (associated with the phone book), schedule content (associated with the schedule management), and the like.

According to the present invention, the mobile terminal may configure a plurality of modes having different application configurations, for the security of data from another mode or for data security between different modes in one mode. It can be implemented selectively or concurrently (sequential inclusion).

In addition, when a specific application is executed in any mode, at least one application that may operate in conjunction with the specific application may be executed in any mode. For example, the specific application is a voice call, and an application that can operate in conjunction with the voice call may be a phone book or a message.

Looking at the mode discrimination in the application configuration, the application running in each of the plurality of modes, at least one application (hereinafter referred to as a dedicated application) executed exclusively for each of the plurality of modes or at least one application running in any of the plurality of modes (Hereinafter referred to as common application) may be included. Furthermore, a common application can differ in at least one feature in each of the plurality of modes in which it can be executed. For example, the configuration, display, or security of an application may vary. This will be described later in detail.

Of course, a common application may not vary in each of the plurality of modes in which it can run. This is the case, for example, when the common application is a terminal basic application, such as a voice call or a message.

For example, when the first to third applications are executed in the first mode and the third to fifth applications are executed in the second mode, the first and second applications are dedicated applications in the first mode, and the third application. May be a common application of the first and second modes, and the fourth and fifth applications may be dedicated applications of the second mode.

For example, the plurality of modes may include a first mode (Privacy mode) that is easy for the user's privacy and a second mode (Business mode) that is easy for the user's company life. This is to allow the mobile terminal to be used in consideration of the user's private life (eg, private life) and public life (eg, company life). In particular, in terms of enhanced security, access to information corresponding to the other mode may be restricted when the personal mode or the business mode is implemented.

The personal mode and the business mode described above are merely examples for describing a plurality of modes, and are not limited to their names as long as they meet the mode discrimination criteria mentioned herein. In addition, in the above description with respect to the discrimination of the plurality of modes based on the application configuration, a detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described later.

In addition, the implementation and activation of the plurality of modes mentioned in the present invention will be defined as follows.

According to the present invention, the mobile terminal can implement all of a plurality of modes and can activate one of a plurality of currently implemented modes. For example, when the plurality of modes are the first and second modes, the mobile terminal implements both the first and second modes by booting an operating system capable of implementing the first and second modes. The first and second modes can be selectively activated.

More specifically, if both the first and second modes are implemented, the mode in which the screen is displayed on the current screen, the mode in which the currently running application is designated, and the high priority mode are activated. have. In this case, the inactive (or inactivated) mode is implemented on the terminal but may be referred to as operating in the background. Furthermore, if the screens of the second mode are displayed on the screen of the first mode in the first area through the screen division, respectively, the mode selected by the user, the mode in which the corresponding area is currently activated, the currently running It can be said that the application has activated the designated mode, high priority mode, and so on.

In some cases, the mobile terminal may implement and activate one mode, and implement and activate another mode when the user wants to switch to another mode (selective implementation and activation of the mode).

Hereinafter, operation of components required for implementing a plurality of modes and switching modes between a plurality of modes according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 3A to 4C.

FIG. 3A is a block diagram illustrating a controller 180 for driving a plurality of operating systems and configuring dedicated screens of a plurality of operating systems, and FIG. 3B illustrates the screen processor 185 of FIG. 3A. It is a block diagram. More specifically, FIGS. 3A and 3B illustrate a case where a plurality of operating systems are provided in parallel (see FIGS. 4A and 4B to be described later).

In the context of the present invention, each of the plurality of modes may be implemented by each of the plurality of operating systems. In other words, operating systems supporting implementations may differ from mode to mode.

According to FIG. 3A, the controller 180 may include a screen processor 185, drivers 186, a hypervisor 187, and a main processor 188. In particular, the hypervisor may be referred to as a term such as a virtual machine, a virtualization module, a virtualization monitor, a virtual machine monitor, a virtualization monitor, and the above terms may be referred to. As long as it is an example and a component that performs the same function as them, it is not limited to its terms.

More specifically, each of the plurality of operating systems stored in the memory 160 is provided with a respective frame buffer, and the screen processing unit 185, when the plurality of operating systems are driven, the corresponding operation from each frame buffer A frame corresponding to the dedicated screen of the system is received, and according to the control of the main processor 188, it is determined which operating system dedicated screen to display on the screen of the current display unit 151.

Accordingly, the screen processing unit 185 may display only a dedicated screen of a specific operating system on the entire screen of the display unit 151 under the control of the main processing unit 188 (when only one mode is implemented) or the frame. One or more integrated frames may be generated by combining or editing the frames received from the buffers to display an integrated dedicated screen (when implementing a plurality of modes) including all dedicated screens of a plurality of operating systems.

Referring to FIG. 3A, a plurality of operating systems OS 1... OS N are provided in parallel, which will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B.

4A and 4B illustrate a method of booting in parallel a plurality of OSs (Guest OS 1 and 2) supporting a different mode by mounting a hypervisor (hereinafter referred to as a first method). .

The mobile terminal 100 may selectively implement Guest OS 1 and 2, sequentially or simultaneously, and each of the Guest OS 1 and 2 may be assigned a different mode. At this time, the operation of the guest OS 1 and 2 and the mode activation accordingly may be performed by the hypervisor. Each component illustrated in FIG. 4B may perform general operations related to a virtualization engine technology.

In more detail with respect to multi-OS booting and mode activation accordingly, the controller 180 (particularly the hypervisor), (1) activates the mode corresponding to the currently booted Guest OS 1 or 2, or (2) In case of sequentially booting or simultaneously booting Guest OS 1 and 2 corresponding to the first and second modes, implement and activate either one of the first and second modes (2-1) or implement both the first and second modes. Only one of the first and second modes may be activated (2-2).

Returning to FIG. 3, according to FIG. 3B, the screen processing unit 185 includes a layout manager 185a and a display driver 185b. The layout manager 185a combines or edits frames received from the frame buffers under the control of the main processor 188 to generate a single integrated frame, and the display driver 185b generates the layout manager 185a. The frame generated by) is controlled to be displayed on the display unit 151.

The driver 186 also controls the driving of the entire operating systems. In addition, the hypervisor 187 is an intermediary between the main processor 188 and the operating systems, and is a virtualization engine that allows a plurality of operating systems to be used in the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention. The main processor 188 also controls all operations associated with driving a plurality of operating systems in accordance with the present invention.

As described above, the screen processor 185, the driver 186, the hypervisor 187, and the main processor 188 may be included in the controller 180, and in some cases, the memory 160 in software form. May be stored within.

3C is a block diagram illustrating a memory 160 having a database storage area corresponding to each of a plurality of modes.

In connection with the present invention, the mobile terminal can manage the database storage areas for each of the plurality of modes separately. This is especially true when each of the plurality of modes is implemented by a different operating system.

In general, the memory 160 includes at least one operating system capable of implementing the first and second modes, and may store an application corresponding to each of the at least one operating system. Therefore, the provided at least one operating system may be selectively booted or simultaneously booted under the control of the controller 180.

For example, the operating system may include a commercial OS such as an Android OS, a Linux-based OS, a Windows mobile OS, or an Apple OS, and each of the OSs may have a dedicated application set differently. In addition, the multi-OS includes not only different types of OS (eg, Android OS and Apple OS) but also OSs having different versions of the same type (eg, 2.1 version of Android OS_ and 2.2 version of Android OS). May be included.

According to the present invention, assuming that the first and second modes can be implemented, the memory 160 controls the first database storage area 160 (a)} corresponding to the first mode under the control of the controller 180. The second database storage area 160 (b) corresponding to the second mode and the common database storage area 160 (c) common to the first and second modes may be included. In some cases, the common database storage area 160 (c) may be omitted, and the common designated application and its related content or data may be stored in the database storage area of the corresponding mode.

More specifically, in configuring the first, second, and common database storage areas, the mobile terminal 100 uses different memories in hardware, is provided in the same memory, but access is restricted for each mode, or modes A separate storage partition can also be used to distinguish storage areas.

In this case, the operating systems implementing the first and second modes may be the same or different. In addition, there may be two or more modes that may be implemented by the mobile terminal 100, in which case the database storage area may be further subdivided.

More specifically, in the first database storage area 160 (a), an area in which at least one first application executed in the first mode is stored (a first application area), and an area in which content associated with the first application is stored ( A first content area) and an area in which data associated with the first application is stored (first data area).

In addition, in the second database storage area 160 (b), an area in which at least one second application executed in the second mode is stored (a second application area), and an area in which content associated with the second application is stored (second content) Area) and an area (second data area) in which data associated with the second application is stored.

In addition, in the common database storage area 160 (c), an area in which at least one common application executed in both the first and second modes is stored (common application area), and an area in which content associated with the common application is stored (common content). Area) and an area (common data area) in which data associated with a common application is stored.

On the other hand, when the second mode is a work mode that is easy for the public life of the user, the second mode corresponding to the second mode of the information stored in the second database storage area (160 (b)) and the common database storage area (160 (c)). The information may be shared only with the enterprise server 300, stored only in the enterprise server 300 (160 (b) unnecessary), or only connected to the enterprise server 300. Here, the corporate server 300 may include an enterprise server of a company where the user works or a server of a specific company designated by the user (or a company where the user works).

In addition, during activation of the first mode, the mobile terminal 100 may utilize only information stored in the first database storage area 160 (a)} and information corresponding to the first mode of the common database storage area 160 (c). During the second mode activation, all the information stored in the first, second and common database storage areas 160 (a)-(c) may be utilized. Of course, the reverse can also be implemented, and it is possible to control such that information on the first mode cannot be utilized even during activation of the second mode.

In addition, although the application area, the content area, and the data area are shown to be divided in the database storage area, they may be integrated in some cases.

4A and 4C illustrate a method (hereinafter, referred to as a second method) of booting a guest OS supporting another mode by operating a hypervisor on a host OS supporting one mode. In particular, the mode supported by the host OS may be a personal mode, and the mode supported by the guest OS may be a work mode.

In particular, according to FIG. 4C, a switching operation between a personal mode (P mode) and a work mode (B mode) may be performed by the B2B Manager. In addition, the components shown in the P mode region of the two areas divided by the dotted line operate in the personal mode implementation, the components shown in the B mode region operate in the implementation of the work mode, the configuration included in both modes Elements can operate in both modes.

According to the present invention, the mobile terminal 100 can implement a plurality of modes selectively, simultaneously or sequentially on an operating system, and different operating systems (hereinafter referred to as separate operating systems) are designated or common operating in each of the plurality of modes. A system (hereinafter common operating system) can be specified. In particular, multiple mode implementations may be controlled by the hypervisor 187.

More specifically, defining the currently implemented or activated modes according to individual operating systems or common operating systems are as follows. For convenience of description, it is assumed that the plurality of modes are the first and second modes. Of course, there may be two or more modes in some cases.

First, when the common operating system is booted, the controller 180 may (1) implement and activate one of the first and second modes, or (2) implement both the first and second modes, One of two modes can be activated.

Next, when the individual operating system is booted, the controller 180 (1) implements and activates the mode corresponding to the currently booted individual operating system, or (2) the first and second modes corresponding to the first and second modes. In the case of sequential booting or simultaneous booting of the second operating system, one of the first and second modes may be implemented and activated (2-1), or both of the first and second modes may be implemented. One of the modes may be activated (2-2).

In the following description, the distinction of each of the plurality of modes will be described in detail.

According to the present invention, each of the plurality of modes may be distinguished by at least one of a mode indicator, a database storage area, an operating system, a user access right, an application configuration, a content configuration, a data configuration, an application feature, an application group, and a group identifier. have.

According to the first embodiment, a case where a plurality of modes are distinguished using a mode indicator will be described.

Each of the plurality of modes may have different indicators from each other to indicate a corresponding mode. The indicator for each mode may be basically stored in the mobile terminal 100 or downloaded from an external server (or an external terminal). In addition, the indicator for each mode may be set or selected by the user or arbitrarily set by the controller 180.

For example, each of the plurality of modes may include a mode icon, a mode image, a wallpaper, a background color / background brightness, a font / font color / font size, a home screen screen (including page count and page indicator), an application arrangement structure (e.g., For example, the number of applications included in one home screen), an application identifier, an LED color, a notification sound such as a ringtone, a keypad type (including a backlight color of a keypad), a mode switching key area, a group identifier (described later), and the like. It can have differently. Of course, the above examples are merely examples of mode indicators and may include all display elements for distinguishing modes.

In this regard, it will be described in detail with reference to Figures 5a to 5d. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the first mode and the second mode are the personal mode and the work mode, respectively, and it is assumed that one of the personal mode and the work mode is activated.

Referring to FIG. 5A, if the current personal mode is activated, the mobile terminal 100 may display an icon (P mode) 501 corresponding to the personal mode in one area of the screen (a). If it is activated, an icon (B mode) 502 corresponding to the work mode may be displayed on one area of the screen (b).

According to FIG. 5B, the mobile terminal 100 includes a mode switch key area 510 in one area of the screen, and if the personal mode is currently activated, an area corresponding to the personal mode in the mode switch key area 510 ( P) 511 may be identified and displayed (a), and if the current work mode is activated, an area (B) 512 corresponding to the work mode may be identified and displayed in the mode switch key area 510 (b). ).

According to FIG. 5C, the mobile terminal 100 includes a personal mode area 521, a work mode area 522, and a switching command area 523 on the screen, and if the personal mode is currently activated, the personal mode area ( P) 521 can be identified and displayed (a), and if the current work mode is active, the business mode region (B) 522 can be identified and displayed (b).

According to FIG. 5D, if the mobile terminal 100 is currently in the active mode, the mobile terminal 100 displays an event (eg, an e-mail, a message, a call, etc.) or an event count (or occurrence time) related to the work mode in one region of the screen. And a notification window 531 for notifying the counterpart information, etc. (a), and if the current work mode is activated, an event or the number of events (or occurrence time and counterpart information) related to the personal mode in one region of the screen may be displayed. Etc.) may display a notification window 532 (b).

According to the second embodiment, a case where a plurality of modes are distinguished using a database storage area will be described.

Each of the plurality of modes may have a separate database storage area in the memory 160 (see FIG. 3C).

In addition, each of the plurality of modes may utilize only the information stored in the corresponding database storage area or the corresponding information stored in the common database storage area, and further, it may be impossible to utilize the information on the other mode in one mode. Alternatively, one of the plurality of modes (for example, a work mode) may utilize information about another mode (for example, a personal mode), but the other mode may make it impossible to utilize information about any mode.

Furthermore, if information about the first mode is available in the second mode (and vice versa), access restrictions are set in the second mode or a higher security level is provided in the second mode than the first mode. It can be said that it is set (described later).

In this regard, with reference to Figures 6a to 7b will be described in detail. For convenience of description, it is assumed that the first mode and the second mode are the personal mode and the work mode, respectively, and the activation state of any one of the personal mode and the work mode is assumed, and the execution state of the common application in the first and second modes. Assume that

Referring to FIG. 6A, when the mobile terminal 100 is executing a phone book (an example of a common application) in the personal mode, the mobile terminal 100 may extract and display only the counterpart information corresponding to the personal mode among the counterpart information associated with the phone book. .

According to FIG. 6B, when executing the phone book in the work mode, the mobile terminal 100 extracts and displays only the counterpart information corresponding to the work mode among the counterpart information associated with the phone book (a), the personal mode and the work use. The counterpart information corresponding to any one of the modes may be extracted and displayed (b).

In particular, FIG. 6B (b) shows a case in which all the areas All and 603 are activated, and when the personal areas P and 601 are activated, only the counterpart information corresponding to the personal mode is activated by the enterprise areas B and 602. FIG. In this case, only the counterpart information corresponding to the work mode may be selectively displayed.

According to FIG. 7A, when the schedule management (an example of a common application) is executed in the personal mode, the mobile terminal 100 may extract and display only the schedule corresponding to the personal mode among schedules related to the schedule management.

According to FIG. 7B, when the schedule management is executed in the work mode, the mobile terminal 100 extracts and displays only a schedule corresponding to the work mode among schedules related to the schedule management (a), among the personal mode and the work mode. The schedules corresponding to any one may be extracted and displayed (b).

In particular, FIG. 7B (b) shows a case in which all the areas All and 703 are activated, and when the personal areas P and 701 are activated, only the schedule corresponding to the personal mode is activated. Only schedules corresponding to the work mode may be selectively displayed.

In particular, in Figs. 6A to 7B, in the personal mode, information on the work mode or the database storage area storing the same cannot be accessed, but in the work mode, the information on the personal mode or the database storage area storing the same can be freely accessed. It is shown.

According to the third embodiment, each of the plurality of modes may be distinguished according to user access authority. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the plurality of modes are first and second modes.

In each of the multiple modes, (1) user access rights may vary as different security levels are set, and (2) user access rights as access restrictions are set in one mode and no access restrictions are set in another. This can vary.

In this regard, certain modes of the plurality of modes may require an authentication procedure to enter them. Therefore, the user may enter the specific mode only when a valid authentication procedure is performed to enter the specific mode. In particular, an authentication procedure may be required when access restriction is set in a specific mode or a security level is set above a certain standard.

For example, in a high user access mode, a user may freely access information corresponding to a low mode or its database storage, and freely utilize information corresponding to a low mode. Cannot access the corresponding information or its database storage.

In addition, the mobile terminal 100 requests to input user authentication information when entering or switching to a mode with high user access rights, and enters or switches to a mode with high user access rights when valid user authentication information is input. (An example of an authentication procedure). In addition, the mobile terminal 100 may have low grade user authentication information (eg, name and social security number) in a low security mode, and high grade user authentication information (eg, name in a high security mode. , Social security number, specific touch pattern, and specific password).

Regarding the management of information (including content or data) related to an application according to a user's access rights (for example, input, inquiry, editing, etc.), it will be described in more detail below in three cases. For convenience of description, the plurality of modes will be described as being limited to the first and second modes.

According to the first case, there may be applications capable of inputting content or data in common regardless of the mode. For example, applications that perform basic functions in the use of a terminal, such as schedule management, scheduler, e-mail, messaging, messenger, conference call, video call, Internet, and phone book.

According to the second case, as in the first case, information can be input without mode classification, but the database storage area can be classified according to modes (see FIG. 3C).

More specifically, it is possible to make information exchange between modes impossible or to exchange information to one side. For example, it may be possible to move information from the personal mode to the work mode, but not vice versa. In addition, by setting different security levels in each of the plurality of modes, it is possible to move information from a low level to a high level, but not to move information from a high level to a low level.

In addition, in certain circumstances, an external terminal having a certain authority remotely may delete only information (eg, an application, content, and data) related to a specific mode, or shut down a specific mode itself. For example, a particular situation may include a case where an employee unloads the terminal, the terminal is stolen, a storage medium that is not registered in the terminal, or accesses a network in which the terminal is not registered.

Furthermore, in relation to user access rights, applications available in the work mode according to the user class of the mobile terminal 100 (eg, set in consideration of the company's position, the company's work characteristics, the company's department, etc.). Permissions to access content, data, etc. may be different, and functions for specific applications may be different. For example, the payment permission function can be used when the user level is above a certain level (eg, the group leader), but the payment permission function can be deactivated when the user level is not equal to the predetermined level (eg, an employee). In addition, the content / data available even in the same application may be different according to the user class, or the information range provided for the same content / data (for example, data fields may be configured according to the user class) may be different. In addition, according to a user's authority, an icon related to a task not belonging to the authority may not be displayed on the terminal itself or may not be executed even if displayed.

According to the third case, there may be applications (dedicated applications) that not only operate in one of the first and second modes but also have access to the corresponding information.

For example, in work mode, you can prohibit shooting functions, restrict network access, or block printing functions for security reasons. In addition, work-related applications may be provided in the work mode and work-related applications may not be provided in the personal mode. Of course the reverse is also possible.

Alternatively, specialized content or applications may exist only in one mode. For example, an application specific to the work mode may include a company work related application, and the application may perform a payment function or an upload to a company server and a download from the company server.

Furthermore, mode-specific access (or entry) may be restricted according to place or time. For example, a home may be set not to enter work mode, and a company may set it to not enter a personal mode at a certain time. In some cases, a separately authorized person may enter a work mode at home or may enter a personal mode at a specific time in the company.

In addition, it is possible to provide an interface that can be shared between users using the work mode to share information with each other, the interface for sharing the information can be blocked when the switch to the personal mode.

Furthermore, there may be a hardware module (common module) that can be used in all of the plurality of modes, or there may be a hardware module (dedicated module) that can be used only in a specific mode among the plurality of modes. Therefore, in the first mode activation state, only the common module and the dedicated module of the first mode are activated and the dedicated module of the second mode cannot be activated. In this case, the common module and the dedicated module may be designated according to a user selection or may be designated according to a decision of the controller 180 or the enterprise server 300.

For example, assuming that the first and second modes are a personal mode and a work mode, the common module includes a mobile communication module 112, a power supply unit 190, a display unit 151, and a memory for transmitting and receiving calls and messages. 160, etc., a dedicated module in the personal mode may include a camera 121, a location information module 115, and the like, and a projector module 155 may be included in the dedicated module in a business mode. . Examples of the common module and the dedicated module described above are just one embodiment, and thus may be configured in various ways without being limited to the above examples.

Hereinafter, the user access authority will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8A and 8B. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the same content is accessed.

Referring to FIG. 8A, when the mobile terminal 100 accesses document 1 (an example of content) in the personal mode, the mobile terminal 100 may grant read permission to the document 1 (a), and accesses the document 1 in the work mode. Read, delete, and edit rights can be granted to document 1 (b). Furthermore, if the user has a certain rank or more in the company, if the document 1 is a document requiring payment may further grant the payment authority.

According to FIG. 8B, when the file 1 (an example of content) corresponding to the work mode is selected from the file list in the personal mode (a), the mobile terminal 100 notifies the user that there is no access right to the file 1, Furthermore, the user may be able to select whether to switch to the work mode to check the file 1 (b).

Of course, in the private mode in FIG. 8B, the file corresponding to the work mode may not be included in the file list, or an identifier indicating that the file corresponds to the private mode / business mode may be displayed on the file list.

In the above, the case in which the user access authority is set for each mode has been described, but in some cases, the user access authority may be set for each application, content, or data. Therefore, even the same content can be confirmed by a user who is authorized to access the user, but not by a user who is not authorized.

According to the fourth embodiment, each of the plurality of modes may be distinguished by at least one of an application configuration, a content configuration, and a data configuration.

Each of the plurality of modes can be configured differently for each mode application, and even a common application can be configured differently for content or data corresponding to the application.

Here, the configuration of the application is different, in the first mode, at least one application dedicated to the first mode (hereinafter referred to as a first dedicated application) and at least one application common to the first and second modes (hereinafter referred to as common application). ) Is executed, and in the second mode, at least one application dedicated to the second mode (hereinafter referred to as the second dedicated application) and at least one application common to the first and second modes (hereinafter referred to as common application) are executed. (See FIG. 10C).

In addition, different configurations of the content / data may include both cases where the content / data content itself is different or a part of the content / data content is different. In particular, in the latter case, although the specific content is specified in both the first and second modes, it may mean that the content of the specific content corresponding to each of the first and second modes is different. This may be possible by differently configuring a data field for each mode for the same content or data.

In this regard, it will be described in detail with reference to Figures 9a and 9b.

According to FIG. 9A, the mobile terminal 100 designates different contacts 911 and 921 and e-mails 912 and 922 for the personal mode and the work mode in storing the same counterpart information. The address 913 and the birthday information 914 may be further designated, and the payment authority 923, the rank 924, and the department 925 may be further designated in the work mode.

According to Fig. 9B, in storing the same schedule, even if the contents and the attendee information 931 and 941 are identically designated for the personal mode and the work mode, the time information 932 is further specified in the personal mode, and in the work mode. Conference room information 942 and announcements 943 may be further specified.

Furthermore, the mobile terminal 100 may set the keypad type differently for each mode as shown in FIG. 10A, and may set the time zone for each mode differently as shown in FIG. 10B. In addition, the mobile terminal 100 may differently set a backup level of an application and information related thereto for each mode. For example, you can back up your information for the last week in personal mode, or back up your information for the last month in real-time mode. Of course, the backup level for each mode may be set by the user or arbitrarily set by the controller 180.

In particular, in the work mode, the other terminal is not in the current work mode or the working time (including holidays) in consideration of the state (for example, the currently active mode, current location, time zone, etc.) of the other terminal to be contacted In this case, the user may be informed to select whether or not to contact the user. In this case, the mobile terminal 100 may receive information indicating the status of the counterpart terminal from the counterpart terminal or the enterprise server, and determine the state of the counterpart terminal using the received information.

In addition, in the work mode, all previously stored schedules may be modified to reflect the current time zone to match the current time zone (when the time zone is changed).

In addition, when there is no user input operation for a predetermined time in the work mode, the work mode may be locked or shut down automatically or according to a user selection. At this time, in order to release the locked state or the suspended state, user authentication information corresponding to the work mode must be input or authenticated by the corporate server. In the work mode, when the user terminal is equipped with an overseas roaming function, the user may automatically release the overseas roaming function if the user's current location is domestic, and automatically execute the overseas roaming function if the user is overseas.

According to the fifth embodiment, each of the plurality of modes may be characterized to correspond to the currently activated mode when at least one common application is executed. In other words, if the particular application is a common application of the first and second modes, the particular application may vary in character depending on whether the currently activated mode is the first or second mode.

Here, varying characteristics for each mode may mean different configurations of an application (including a corresponding content / data), display, or security.

For example, different features may vary depending on the structure of the application (e.g., the configuration of the corresponding menu item), the screen of the application (e.g., background image, font, font size, information provided), The associated content / data configuration (see FIGS. 6A-7B), the data field configuration of the content / data (see FIGS. 9A and 9B), application functionality, security for the application (or content / data), and the like vary by mode. May mean. Of course, since the above examples are just an embodiment, any case in which the common application can be configured differently for each mode may be applied.

For example, in the case where the application function is different, the camera may allow the shooting function in the personal mode but not the shooting function in the work mode. In addition, if the access rights to the application are different, the phone book provides the name, phone number, and personal e-mail address of the other party in the personal mode, but in addition, the e-mail address, rank, department, and billing authority information is provided in the business mode. You can also provide more.

In this regard, it will be described in detail with reference to Figure 10c. For convenience of explanation, the plurality of modes will be described as being limited to the personal mode and the work mode.

According to FIG. 10C, the mobile terminal 100 may receive an execution command signal from a user with respect to a phone book (an example of a common application).

The mobile terminal 100 determines the mode activated at the time of inputting the execution command signal, and if the personal mode is activated, executes the phone book according to the feature corresponding to the personal mode and displays the screen according thereto. 6a or FIG. 9a (a)}, if the work mode is activated, the phone book may be executed according to a feature corresponding to the work mode to display a screen according thereto (see FIG. 6b or 9a (b)).

For example, in the case where the security of the application is different, the case in which the common application is to be executed in the first mode does not require an authentication procedure or inputs authentication information with a low level of security. When executing a common application, it may be necessary to request an authentication procedure or input authentication information with a high security level. In this case, the application execution may include output of content or data related to the application as well as the screen display of the application.

According to the sixth embodiment, the plurality of modes may be distinguished using user information corresponding to each mode. Here, the user information may include a user name (name), a user image, a user phone number, a user email address, a user blog address, and the like.

For example, different first and second user information may be set in each of the first and second modes. More specifically, when the first and second telephone numbers are assigned to the mobile terminal 100 (dual SIM), the first and second telephone numbers may be set in the first and second modes, respectively.

According to the seventh embodiment, the plurality of modes may be distinguished by an application group including at least one application executed in each.

For example, when at least one application may be executed in each of the plurality of modes, the controller 180 may configure an application group including application (s) executable for each mode. Furthermore, application groups may be organized according to application type as well as mode. For example, if the application type is a call, the corresponding application group may include call related applications, and if the application type is a camera, the corresponding application group may include camera related applications.

Furthermore, the mobile terminal 100 displays a mode-specific group identifier corresponding to a mode-specific application group on the screen, and when a specific group identifier is selected, displays an indicator of applications belonging to the application group or displays a specific group identifier. You can switch to the appropriate mode (assuming it is not currently active).

The mode screen mentioned below may mean a screen according to activation of a specific mode when a specific mode is activated in the mobile terminal. For example, the mode screen may include an execution screen of a specific application when executing a specific application in the activated specific mode, and may include a display screen of specific content when outputting specific content, and may display a specific web. If you are connected to a site, you can include web pages from a specific website.

Hereinafter, a method of sharing a mode screen of a currently activated mode among a plurality of terminals capable of implementing a plurality of modes will be described in detail.

Representatively, N screen technology may be used as a technology for sharing a mode screen among a plurality of terminals.

N screen technology may refer to a technology that allows individual screens such as PC monitors, TVs, and mobile devices (including mobile phones) to be used as one shared screen using a broadcast or communication network so that one content can be viewed on various devices. have. More specifically, one content may be simultaneously viewed on a plurality of devices or subsequently viewed from one device to another.

In addition, in the N screen technology, content can be shared among a plurality of terminals using various data communication methods (for example, WiMax, Wi-Fi, 3G-based communication method, 4G-based communication method, etc.), and a plurality of terminals. The content may be directly shared or may be shared between a plurality of terminals via an intermediary device (eg, a set-top box).

Therefore, according to the present invention, the mobile terminal 100 can share a mode screen with at least one external terminal using N screen technology. Of course, the N screen technology is only one example of a technology for mode screen sharing, and if there is a way to share the mode screen is not limited to its method or name.

With regard to mode screen sharing between a plurality of terminals, it will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 11A to 11E.

11A illustrates an enterprise server capable of communicating via a network with a plurality of terminals including a mobile terminal 100 and a plurality of external terminals 1110 to 1130 and a plurality of terminals when the currently activated mode is a work mode. 300).

In this case, in order to enable mode screen sharing between the mobile terminal 100 and the external terminals 1110 to 1130, the mobile terminal 100 controls the external terminals 1110 to 1130 under the control of the controller 180. It may be pre-registered as an information sharing terminal or may perform an authentication procedure for sharing information with the external terminals 1110 to 1130. In this case, the pre-registration or authentication procedure may be performed in connection with the enterprise server 300.

In the pre-registration process, the mobile terminal 100 or the enterprise server 300 may store information (eg, a phone number, a user name, a user rank, etc.) about the pre-registered external terminals 1110 to 1130. have. Furthermore, when the mobile terminal 100 pre-registers the first external terminal 1110 and pre-registration is performed between the first and second terminals 1110 and 1120, the mobile terminal 100 and the second terminal ( 1120 may also be regarded as having performed pre-registration.

In the process of performing the authentication procedure, the mobile terminal 100 or the enterprise server 300 stores authentication information set in common or individually at the external terminals 1110 to 1130 and uses the same authentication information as the stored authentication information. In case of input from the user, the authentication procedure can be effectively performed. Further, when the mobile terminal 100 effectively performs the authentication procedure with the first external terminal 1110 and pre-registration is performed between the first and second terminals 1110 and 1120, the mobile terminal 100 and It may be regarded that the authentication procedure is effectively performed between the second terminals 1120.

Meanwhile, if both the mobile terminal 100 and the external terminals 1110 to 1130 activate the same mode, the mode screen may be shared with each other without a separate pre-registration process or a separate authentication process. This is especially the case if you have activated all of the specific modes (especially the work mode).

In addition, according to FIG. 11A, the mobile terminal 100 and the external terminals 1110 to 1130 may share a mode screen through the corporate server 300, or may be directly (or directly) without passing through the corporate server 300. You can also share the mode screen.

11B to 11D are diagrams illustrating all screens of other terminals in a specific terminal among a plurality of terminals including the mobile terminal 100 and the plurality of external terminals 1110 to 1140. Furthermore, in a specific terminal, an interaction between the screens of the remaining terminals may be supported.

For example, the fourth external terminal 1140 (an example of a specific terminal) operates as a mother screen, and is currently present in the mobile terminal 100 and the first to third external terminals 1110 to 1130, respectively. The displayed screen may be received and displayed. More specifically, the fourth external terminal 1140 may normally operate as the mother screen when registered in advance to operate as the mother screen or perform a predetermined authentication procedure for operating as the mother screen.

In particular, according to FIG. 11C, when the mobile terminal 100 and the first to third external terminals 1110 to 1130 execute the first and fourth applications, respectively, the fourth terminal 1140 may be configured as the first to the first. The first to fourth execution screens of each of the four applications may be received and displayed in the respective areas 1141 to 1144.

In addition, according to FIG. 11D, when the mobile terminal 100 and the first to third external terminals 1110 to 1130 receive the first and fourth handwriting from the user, respectively, the fourth terminal 1140 is the first terminal. The fourth to fourth handwriting may be received and displayed in the respective areas 1145 to 1148.

According to the above embodiment, assuming that a user having a plurality of terminals attends a meeting and a screen of each of the plurality of terminals is displayed on the mother screen, each user inputs his or her opinion using the terminal having his own. In this case, all the user's opinions may be displayed on one screen using the mother screen.

Referring to FIG. 11E, under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 may display an identifier corresponding to an external terminal capable of screen sharing with the mobile terminal 100 using the display unit 151. .

For example, in an external terminal capable of screen sharing, an external terminal which is pre-registered as an information sharing terminal or a valid authentication procedure is performed for information sharing, and an external device that activates the same mode (particularly, a work mode) as the mobile terminal 100. The terminal may be included. In addition, the external terminal capable of screen sharing may be located within a predetermined distance from the mobile terminal 100.

In particular, in FIG. 11E, when the mobile terminal 100 activates the work mode, only the external terminals 1110 to 1140 that activate the work mode are displayed (a), or the external terminals that activate the personal mode and the work mode. All of the displays 1110 to 1160 may be displayed, but only the external terminals 1110 to 1140 that have activated the work mode may be identified and displayed.

Furthermore, the mobile terminal 100 may activate the camera 121 and display the identifier at a position corresponding to an external terminal capable of screen sharing on the image currently input through the camera 121 (augmented reality). Technology use). In this case, a map image or a virtual image may be used instead of the image input through the camera 121.

On the other hand, although not shown in the figure, the mobile terminal 100 may display a list including the identifier of the external terminal capable of screen sharing.

Hereinafter, a display control method when a signal related to a deactivated mode is detected while sharing a mode screen among a plurality of terminals capable of implementing a plurality of modes will be described.

12 is a first flowchart of a method of controlling a mode screen display of a mobile terminal according to the present invention.

For convenience of description, it is assumed that the plurality of modes are limited to the first and second modes, and the first and second modes are selectively activated according to the mode switching while both the first and second modes are implemented. In addition, an application executed in the first and second modes may be referred to as a common application, and an application executed only in either of the first or second modes may be referred to as a dedicated application.

Referring to FIG. 12, under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 activates the first mode in a state where the first and second modes are implemented (S1210). In this case, when an operating system is designated for each mode, the controller 180 may use the first and second individual operating systems (the first and second OSs of the multi OSs) corresponding to the first and second modes, respectively. And a second mode, respectively, and if the operating system for each mode is common, the first and second modes may be implemented using a common operating system (a single OS).

In addition, in the activation step S1210 of the first mode, when executing the common application, the mobile terminal 100 may execute the common application according to a feature corresponding to the first mode. For example, when the first mode is a personal mode and the common application is a phonebook, a list of counterpart information composed of counterpart information related to the personal mode may be displayed, or specific counterpart information composed of data fields corresponding to the personal mode may be displayed. Can be.

Hereinafter, the mode activated when the OS is booted for each multi OS type (see FIGS. 4A to 4C) will be described in more detail.

For example, the multi OS type includes a first multi OS type (corresponding to guest OS 1 and guest OS 2_corresponding to the first scheme) and a second multi OS type (host OS and guest OS_second scheme). This may include. In addition, it is assumed that personal mode corresponds to Guest OS 1 and Host OS, and work mode corresponds to Guest OS 2 and Guest OS.

First, according to the first multi OS type, the mobile terminal 100 may simultaneously boot or sequentially boot Guest OS 1 and Guest OS 2 by driving a hypervisor included in the controller 180. When a specific mode is selected among the personal mode and the work mode by the user or by the controller 180, the specific mode may be activated on the guest OS corresponding to the selected specific mode. On the other hand, when a process of selecting a specific mode is omitted, the mobile terminal 100 may activate the personal mode by using Guest OS 1 designated as a default.

Next, according to the second multi-OS type, the mobile terminal 100 first boots the host OS corresponding to the personal mode under the control of the controller 180, and pre-loads the guest OS corresponding to the work mode. (Pre-loading) In addition, the mobile terminal 100 may activate a personal mode on the host OS, and activate a work mode on the guest OS when the pre-loaded guest OS is booted. Meanwhile, the mobile terminal 100 may post-load the Guest OS.

Here, the pre-loading of the guest OS takes a long time to boot the initial OS, but once booting is complete, both OSs are booted so mode switching can be performed quickly, and post-loading the guest OS In this case, the initial OS booting is performed quickly, but if you want to switch to the mode corresponding to the guest OS, it may take a long time to switch modes due to the time required to boot the guest OS.

12, the mobile terminal 100, according to the control of the controller 180 in the activation step (S1210), according to the user selection at the time of operating system boot or according to a predetermined criterion Can be activated.

For example, in the case of a single OS, either of the first and second modes may be activated according to the single OS boot. Meanwhile, in case of a multi-OS, a mode selected by a user among the first and second modes or a first booted mode is activated according to simultaneous booting of the multi-OS, or a mode corresponding to the first booted OS according to the sequential booting of the multi-OS. Can be activated.

In particular, in sequential booting of the multi-OS, the mobile terminal 100 may preferentially boot an OS that satisfies a predetermined condition under the control of the controller 180. For example, the controller 180 may preferentially boot an OS that satisfies at least one condition among an OS having a fast booting order, an OS designated to boot first by a user, and an OS supporting a mode corresponding to a current terminal state. Can be. For example, when the current terminal position is located at a specific place corresponding to a specific mode or when the current time belongs to a specific time corresponding to a specific mode, the specific mode may be preferentially activated when the operating system is booted.

The mobile terminal 100 displays the screen of the first mode (hereinafter referred to as a first mode screen) using the display unit 151 under the control of the controller 180 in operation S1220.

For example, the first mode screen may include an execution screen of a specific application when the mobile terminal 100 executes a specific application, a display screen of specific content / data when the mobile terminal 100 outputs specific content / data, The standby screen may be included in the standby mode of the first mode.

The mobile terminal 100 transmits the first mode screen using the wireless communication unit 110 under the control of the controller 180 (S1230).

In the transmitting step (S1230), the mobile terminal 100 directly transmits the first mode screen to at least one external terminal (hereinafter shareable terminal) that the mode screen can share, or (2) the enterprise server 300. The first mode screen may be transmitted to transmit the first mode screen to the at least one shareable terminal by the enterprise server 300. Therefore, the first mode screen of the mobile terminal 100 may be shared with the shareable terminal.

In addition, the mobile terminal 100 may directly receive a mode screen of a mode currently activated by the at least one shareable terminal from the at least one shareable terminal or through the enterprise server 300. Therefore, the mode screen of the shareable terminal may be shared with the mobile terminal 100.

In this case, the mobile terminal 100 displays (1) both the first mode screen and the received mode screen on one screen (see FIG. 15C), or (2) the first mode screen and the received mode screen. Can be selectively displayed (FIGS. 15A and 15B).

In addition, the mobile terminal 100 may select at least one shareable terminal according to the user selection, the selection of the controller 180, or the selection of the enterprise server 300, and the at least one selected shareable. The mode screen can be shared with the terminal.

In the case of selection by the user, the mobile terminal 100 displays the identifiers of the plurality of shareable terminals on the screen (see FIG. 11E), and when the specific identifier is selected from the user, corresponds to the selected specific identifier. The mode screen may be shared with the shareable terminal.

Or, in the case of selection by the controller 180, the controller 180 is an external terminal that activates the same mode as the mobile terminal 100 among the external terminals located within a certain distance from the mobile terminal 100, the mobile An external terminal that transmits a mode screen sharing request signal to the terminal 100 or an external terminal that receives the mode screen sharing request signal from the mobile terminal 100 is selected as a shareable terminal and shares a mode screen with the selected shareable terminal. can do.

Or, in the case of selection by the corporate server 300, the corporate server 300 shares an external terminal (particularly, an external terminal located within a predetermined distance (in-company) from the corporate server) in which the work mode is activated. The mobile terminal 100 may select a capable terminal and share a mode screen with an external terminal selected as a shareable terminal by the enterprise server 300. At this time, the mobile terminal 100 must also be activated for the work mode.

In addition, under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 may transmit a mode change request signal to the external terminal that does not activate the same mode as the mobile terminal 100 using the wireless communication unit 110.

For example, the mode switch request signal includes information about a mode to be switched (for example, a first mode), information about a terminal requesting to switch (for example, a phone number, a rank, a grade, etc.), a mode screen. Information about the sharing request may be included. Accordingly, the external terminal receiving the mode switch request signal may activate the first mode in the same manner as the mobile terminal 100 and set a state in which the mode screen can be shared with the mobile terminal 100.

Furthermore, the mobile terminal 100 may transmit or receive the mode screen so as to correspond to a predetermined class in the process of transmitting and receiving the mode screen. In this regard will be described later with reference to the drawings below.

The mobile terminal 100 controls the first mode screen of the activated first mode to be displayed on at least one shareable terminal under the control of the controller 180 (S1240).

Here, the shareable terminal may be said to have activated the first mode in the same manner as the mobile terminal 100. Furthermore, the mobile terminal 100 may induce switching to the first mode by transmitting a mode switch request signal to the external terminal that does not activate the first mode (described above). In particular, the first mode may be a business mode.

In the controlling step S1240, the mobile terminal 100 may share the first mode screen so that the first mode screen corresponds to the display environment (eg, screen size, screen resolution, etc.) of the shareable terminal to display the first mode screen. Can be controlled to be displayed in. In other words, when the display environment of the mobile terminal 100 and the shareable terminal are different, the first mode screen may be changed to correspond to the display environment of the shareable terminal and displayed on the shareable terminal.

The display control step of the first mode screen (S1240) will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that both the mobile terminal 100 and the shareable terminal have activated the work mode. In addition, it is assumed that the name of the mobile terminal 100 is set to Tom, and the name of the mobile terminal 100 is set to Jane in the shareable terminal.

FIG. 13 illustrates a state in which the mobile terminal 100 executes a document search / view application in a currently active work mode and displays a screen corresponding to document 1 as a mode screen.

14A to 14C illustrate a state in which a shareable mode terminal displays a My Mode screen and a counterpart mode screen. In this case, the shareable terminal may execute the e-mail application in the work mode to display the received e-mail confirmation screen as the my mode screen, and display the screen corresponding to the document 1 as the counterpart mode screen.

According to FIG. 14A, the shareable terminal includes key areas 1401 and 1402 for receiving selection of an internal mode screen and a counterpart mode screen on a screen, and when a key area 1401 is selected, a received e-mail confirmation screen (a). When the key region 1402 is selected, the screen b corresponding to the document 1 may be displayed.

According to FIG. 14B, the shareable terminal displays tags 1401 and 1402 indicating whether the mode screen currently displayed on the screen is a mode screen or a counterpart mode screen, and confirms an incoming email when the tag 1401 is activated. When the tag 1402 is activated on the screen a, the screen b corresponding to the document 1 may be displayed. Of course, a mode screen to be displayed on the screen may be selected using the tags 1401 and 1402 (see FIG. 14A).

According to FIG. 14C, the shareable terminal may divide a screen into a plurality of areas, and display a screen corresponding to document 1 in a second area of the received email confirmation screen in the first area. In this case, identifiers 1401 and 1402 indicating whether the corresponding mode screen is a my mode screen or a counterpart mode screen may be displayed in each area.

15A to 15C illustrate a state in which a mobile terminal displays a My Mode screen and a counterpart mode screen. In this case, the mobile terminal 100 may display a screen corresponding to Document 1 as a My Mode screen, and display a received email confirmation screen as a counterpart mode screen.

According to FIG. 15A, the mobile terminal 100 includes key areas 1501 and 1502 for receiving selection of an internal mode screen and a counterpart mode screen on a screen, and corresponds to document 1 when the key area 1501 is selected. The screen (b) can be displayed.

According to FIG. 15B, the mobile terminal 100 displays tags 1501 and 1502 indicating whether the mode screen currently displayed on the screen is a mode screen or a counterpart mode screen, and the document is activated when the tag 1501 is activated. The screen (b) corresponding to 1 may be displayed.

According to FIG. 15C, the mobile terminal 100 may divide the screen into a plurality of areas, and display the received email confirmation screen in the second area on the screen corresponding to the document 1 in the first area. In this case, identifiers 1501 and 1502 indicating whether the corresponding mode screen is a my mode screen or a counterpart mode screen may be displayed in each area.

Furthermore, according to FIG. 15D, when there is a specific external terminal operating as a mother screen, the specific external terminal may be a screen corresponding to document 1 which is a mode screen of the mobile terminal 100 and a mode of the shareable terminal 1110. Each of the received e-mail confirmation screens, which are screens, may be received, and the received e-mail confirmation screen may be displayed in the second area of the full screen on the screen corresponding to the document 1 in the first area of the full screen. In this case, identifiers 100-1 and 1100-1 indicating which mode screen the corresponding mode screen is in each area may be displayed.

Although not shown in the drawing, the mobile terminal 100 can check how the mode screen transmitted by the mobile terminal 100 is displayed on the shareable terminal (see FIGS. 14A to 14C). In other words, when only a portion of the mode screen of the mobile terminal 100 is controlled to be displayed on the shareable terminal, the mobile terminal 100 is a mode screen of the current mobile terminal 100 in the shareable terminal. You can see that it is displaying. For example, a pop-up window method, an overlay method, a screen division method, or the like may be used as the confirmation method, and the confirmation operation may be performed when a confirmation command is input from the user or arbitrarily by the controller 180. It may also be performed.

16A to 16C show a state in which a plurality of objects constituting a mode screen are divided and displayed in a plurality of terminals.

According to the present invention, when the first mode screen includes a plurality of objects under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 divides and displays the plurality of objects in the plurality of shareable terminals. Or (2) the plurality of objects may be controlled to be divided and displayed in the mobile terminal 100 and the at least one shareable terminal. In the case of (1), the entire first mode screen is displayed on the mobile terminal 100, but in the case of (2), only the corresponding object of the first mode screen may be displayed on the mobile terminal 100.

As an example of the first case, according to FIG. 16A, the mobile terminal 100 removes a first object (eg, a text area displayed at the top of the screen) of a screen corresponding to document 1 (an example of the first mode screen). 1 is controlled to be displayed on the shareable terminal 1110 (a), and a second object (for example, an image and a text area displayed at the center of the screen) among the screens corresponding to document 1 is displayed on the second shareable terminal 1120. (B) The third shareable terminal 1130 may display the third object (eg, the payment area displayed at the bottom of the screen) of the screen corresponding to the document 1 (c).

As an example of the second case, according to FIGS. 16B and 16C, the mobile terminal 100 includes a URL window 1602, a bookmark 1603, and a web page included in a web page access screen (an example of the first mode screen). In operation 1601, the keyboard 1604 may be recognized as an object, and the recognized objects 1601 to 1604 may be divided and displayed in a plurality of shareable terminals including the mobile terminal 100.

In particular, according to FIG. 16C, the mobile terminal 100 displays the web page 1601 in the mobile terminal 100, the URL window 1602 and the bookmark 1603 in the first shareable terminal 1110, and the second. The shareable terminal 1120 may control to display the key boards 1604, respectively.

Although not shown in the drawing, the mobile terminal 100 displays the My video area, the counterpart video area, the alternative video area, the call time display area, the counterpart information display area, and the like during the video call. The object may be recognized as an object, and the recognized objects may be divided and displayed in a plurality of shareable terminals (including the mobile terminal 100).

On the other hand, although not shown in the drawings, the terminal displaying the object (including the shareable terminal or the mobile terminal 100) may require an authentication procedure for displaying the object in some cases, and the authentication procedure is effectively The object can be displayed only when it is performed. For example, this is more true when the object itself or the mode screen including the object requires security above a certain standard.

17A to 17D illustrate a state in which some areas of the mode screen are not displayed or identified in the shareable terminal.

According to the present invention, under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 may control the at least one shareable terminal so that some areas of the first mode screen are not displayed or identified.

According to FIG. 17A, the mobile terminal 100 receives a setting operation for a partial region 1710 from a user (a) and allows a user to select a display effect for the partial region 1710. May be displayed (b).

For example, the setting operation for the partial region 1710 includes a touch drag operation from one corner of the diagonal of the partial region 1710 to the other corner, a drawing operation of the partial region 1710, and a partial region 1710. A touch operation for a certain time to a specific point to belong to may be included, and if the partial area 1710 is a specific object, a touch operation to any point of the partial area 1710 may be included. For example, the selectable display effect may include display restriction, identification display, zoom display, and the like.

According to FIG. 17B, when the display restriction is selected in FIG. 17A, the mobile terminal 100 may control only the remaining area of the first mode screen except for the partial area 1710 to be displayed on the shareable terminal.

According to FIG. 17C, when the identification mark is selected in FIG. 17A, the mobile terminal 100 may control the first mode screen in which the partial region 1710 is displayed to be displayed on the shareable terminal.

12, in the control step S1240, the mobile terminal 100 displays the first mode screen on the at least one shareable terminal so as to correspond to a predetermined class (1-1) under the control of the controller 180. It may be controlled to be displayed (1-2) or at least the shareable terminal may be controlled so as not to display all or a part of the first mode screen in correspondence with a predetermined class (when the My mode screen is displayed on another terminal). In addition, in the control step S1240, the mobile terminal 100, under the control of the controller 180, (2-1) the display unit 151 to display a mode screen of at least one shareable terminal to correspond to a predetermined class. ) Or (2-2) the display unit 151 may be controlled not to display all or part of the mode screen of the at least one shareable terminal so as to correspond to a predetermined class. If you see). In this regard, it will be described later in detail with reference to the drawings below.

The mobile terminal 100 detects a signal related to a second mode (an example of a deactivation mode) that is not the currently activated first mode under the control of the controller 180 (S1250). More specifically, the controller 180 may further include a separate component for detecting a signal, and may have different components according to the type of the signal.

For example, the signal related to the second mode may include call transmission / reception with a counterpart terminal corresponding to the second mode, message transmission / reception, data transmission / reception via an instant messaging service, or data transmission / reception via a social networking service. Schedule reminder for a schedule corresponding to the two modes may be included. Furthermore, the signal related to the second mode may include reception of a call / message / other data in which user information corresponding to the second mode is used as transmission side information.

Here, the counterpart terminal corresponding to the second mode is connected with the counterpart information management application (for example, phonebook, etc.) executed in the second mode, and its information (for example, phone number, email address, instant messaging). An ID registered in a service / social networking service, etc.) may be stored. In addition, the schedule corresponding to the second mode may include a schedule stored in association with a schedule management application executed in the second mode. In addition, since the user information corresponding to the second mode may be set differently for each mode in the mobile terminal 100, the user information (for example, a phone number, a name, Instant messaging service ID, email address, etc.).

When the mobile terminal 100 detects a signal related to the second mode in the sensing step S1250 under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 outputs the signal notification information using the output unit 150 (S1260). .

For example, the signal notification information may be displayed in one area of the screen or displayed in a pop-up window while maintaining the display of the first mode screen. In addition, the signal notification information may be visually output using text, an image, an icon, a lamp (for example, an LED), or may be acoustically output using a notification sound, a notification voice, a notification ringtone, or the like. It may be tactilely output using.

Of course, the output step S1260 may not be performed or may be interrupted during the execution according to the user's selection. In addition, the output form (described above) of the signal notification information may be determined according to a user selection or a selection of the controller 180.

The mobile terminal 100 controls the signal notification information of the detected signal to not be displayed on at least one shareable terminal under the control of the controller 180 (S1270), or the signal notification information of the detected signal is stored. Control to display only in a specific terminal that satisfies a predetermined condition of the at least one shareable terminal (S1280).

Here, the shareable terminal may include an external terminal currently displaying the first mode screen of the mobile terminal 100 under the control of the mobile terminal 100.

In the control step (S1270), the controller 180 may not interfere with the display of the first mode screen on the shareable terminal or for security of information regarding a mode in which the mode screen of the mobile terminal 100 is not shared. The shareable terminal may control the display of the signal notification information.

In this case, the controller 180 may control the wireless communication unit 110 to prevent the signal notification information from being transmitted to the shareable terminal or the enterprise server 300. Alternatively, the enterprise server 300 may not transmit the signal notification information to the shareable terminal even when the signal notification information is received from the mobile terminal 100. Furthermore, even when the signal notification information is received, the shareable terminal may not display the signal notification information when it is determined that the signal notification information is related to a mode different from its own activation mode.

In a control step S1280, the controller 180 may control the wireless communication unit 110 to transmit signal notification information only to a specific terminal satisfying a predetermined condition among at least one shareable terminal. Alternatively, the enterprise server 300 may receive signal notification information from the mobile terminal 100, check a specific terminal that satisfies a predetermined condition, and then transmit the signal notification information only to the specific terminal. Furthermore, the shareable terminal may receive the signal notification information, determine whether a predetermined condition is satisfied in relation to the mobile terminal which transmitted the signal notification information, and display the signal notification information only when the predetermined condition is satisfied.

For example, the predetermined condition may include an external terminal having a familiarity with a mobile terminal 100 or more than a predetermined standard, an external terminal selected to share signal notification information by a user of the mobile terminal 100, and an external connection related to the detected signal. The terminal may include at least one of an external terminal stored as counterpart information corresponding to the second mode.

More specifically, the external terminal having a familiarity with the mobile terminal 100 or more than a predetermined standard may be a preferred counterpart by the mobile terminal 100 that has transmitted or received a message or call a predetermined number of times or more for a predetermined period of time. Designated terminals may be included. The external terminal related to the detected signal may include a terminal belonging to the same group as the counterpart terminal (described above) corresponding to the detected signal, a terminal of a participant of the schedule (described above) corresponding to the detected signal, When the detected signal is a message transmission / reception, a terminal for transmitting / receiving the message together with the counterpart terminal may be included. In addition, the external terminal stored as counterpart information corresponding to the second mode has its information (for example, a phone number, name, email address, instant messaging service ID, etc.) stored in the counterpart information management application running in the second mode. A terminal stored in association may be included.

In a control step S1280, the mobile terminal 100 may set different levels of disclosure of signal notification information for at least one shareable terminal under the control of the controller 180. Of course, the degree of disclosure may be set according to user selection.

For example, the signal sharing information is set not to be disclosed in the first shareable terminal, only the signal type of the signal notification information is set to be disclosed in the second shareable terminal, and the generation time of the signal notification information in the third shareable terminal. And only the signal type is disclosed, and the fourth shareable terminal may be configured to disclose the entirety of the signal notification information.

Regarding the control step (S1280), a detailed description will be made with reference to FIGS. 18A to 18D. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that a call signal related to the personal mode is received in the work mode activation state.

(1) may display a window 1820 to select a display condition. Of course, the display condition selection process may be omitted, and if omitted, the notification information may be displayed only on the shareable terminal that satisfies the predetermined condition.

For example, the notification information 1810 may include counterpart information (phone number, name, etc.) that transmits a call signal, a phrase indicating that a call signal has been received, a call connection key area, a call rejection key area, and the like. Display conditions include display limitations (notifying the display of notification information on any shareable terminal), full display (displaying the notification information on all shareable terminals), partial display (displaying the notification information on shareable terminals that meet certain conditions), and the like. Can be. Furthermore, the display condition may include a specific portion to be displayed in the shareable terminal among the entire notification information, and the specific portion may be set for each shareable terminal.

18B to 18D, the mobile terminal 100 controls the shareable terminal to display the information 1830 indicating the signal type (Fig. 18B), or the information indicating the signal type and the other party transmitting the call signal (Fig. 18B). The shareable terminal may be controlled to display 1840 (FIG. 18C), or the shareable terminal may be controlled to display information 1850 indicating a mode corresponding to the detected signal (FIG. 18D).

Although not shown in the drawing, the mobile terminal 100 may control the shareable terminal to display more detailed signal notification information as the intimacy with the mobile terminal 100 increases, and the display degree of the signal notification information for each shareable terminal is displayed. Alternatively, the display mode can be set differently.

Returning to FIG. 12, the mobile terminal 100 may switch to the second mode corresponding to the signal detected in the sensing step S1250 under the control of the controller 180, and then switch to the second mode. The first mode may be deactivated and the second mode may be activated.

In particular, when the second mode is activated, the mobile terminal 100 may execute a specific application indicated by the detected signal. For example, a call application may be executed when the detected signal is a call reception, and a message application may be executed when the detected signal is a message reception.

The controller 180 determines whether the access restriction is set in the second mode when switching to the second mode, and switches to the second mode only when the authentication procedure is valid when the access restriction is set. Can be.

For example, when the first mode is a personal mode and the second mode is a work mode, access restriction may be set. Furthermore, when the authentication procedure for switching (or entering) the second mode is successful, the authentication procedure may be omitted when switching back to the second mode (or entering again). For example, in case of re-switching for a certain period of time (working hours, a day, a week, etc.), in case of re-switching while the terminal is turned on and off.

Hereinafter, the mode switching in the multi-OS environment will be described in more detail.

According to the first multi-OS method, the mobile terminal 100 may activate the work mode or the personal mode when a command signal of the mode switch is detected in the activated state of the personal mode or the work mode. According to the second multi-OS method, the mobile terminal 100 may activate the work mode or the personal mode when a command signal of the mode switch is detected in the activated state of the personal mode or the work mode.
