1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a process in which a specific application is executed in the mobile device 100 and an executed application performs a specific operation.

Conventionally, the mobile device 100 has been operated in such a manner that a specific application is generally performed first in the mobile device 100, and the executed application again performs a specific operation. For example, an application for listening to music is first executed among various applications of the mobile device 100, and a user can listen to the song when the executed music reproduction application plays a specific song.

However, when the mobile device 100 operates in this manner, it may be required to input two times in order to reproduce specific music in the mobile device 100. [ First, you need to run a music playback program, and then select a specific song.

A similar method can be used when making a call. The user must first run an application or program to make a call, and then choose who to call. When the input is completed twice, the mobile device 100 can perform a function desired by the user.

However, receiving such two inputs can be cumbersome for the user. In addition, a function required by the user can be predicted by analyzing how the user used the mobile device 100 in the past.

Accordingly, in the present invention, it is possible to analyze the pattern of the mobile device 100 used by the user in the past, and provide a shortcut for performing a function recommended to the user at a time according to the current time and place.

2 is a flowchart of a method in which a user typically executes a specific application in the mobile device 100 and again allows the user to execute the specified operation.

In step S210, the mobile device 100 may receive a selection of an application to be executed by the user. That is, the user can select an application to execute, and accordingly the mobile device 100 can receive the selection information. More specifically, the user can select to execute an application for music reproduction.

In step S220, the mobile device 100 may execute the application selected by the user. That is, the mobile device 100 may receive a selection from the user to execute an application selected by the user and specifically perform an operation. More specifically, the user may input an input signal to the mobile device 100 to play a particular song.

The operation selected by the user in step S230 may be performed by the application. More specifically, the mobile device 100 can play a song selected by the user.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of simultaneously performing a specific operation that a user intends to perform by a user through a shortcut icon according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Unlike the embodiment described in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mobile device 100 can execute a specific operation desired by the user at a time through a single input.

In step S310, the mobile device 100 may receive an input for a shortcut icon that the user wishes to execute. When there is one or more shortcut icons, the user can select and execute a specific shortcut icon.

In step S320, the mobile device 100 can execute an application corresponding to the shortcut icon the user wants to execute. If the shortcut icon selected by the user is a function of playing a specific song, the mobile device 100 can execute an application for playing music.

An operation corresponding to a shortcut icon that the user wants to execute in the application executed in step S330 can be performed. If the shortcut icon selected by the user is a function of playing a specific song, the mobile device 100 can play the song in the music playing program.

4 is a diagram illustrating an example of generating a shortcut icon for executing a specific application by executing a specific application at a specific time according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Generally, in order to make a call to a specific person, a function for making a telephone call can be executed, and a call can be performed by selecting a desired person from a call list. However, when executing the shortcut provided by the present invention, it is possible to directly perform a function of calling a specific person. As shown in the embodiment of the drawing, the mobile device 100 can perform the function of calling the wife only by receiving a single input.

Also, such a shortcut icon can be displayed only in a specific time zone. If you frequently call your wife during lunch time between 12:00 and 1:00, you can identify the behavior pattern of the user and make a call to your wife only between 12:00 and 1:00. A top icon can be displayed on the screen of the mobile device 100.

Therefore, the same contents will be briefly described, and differences will be mainly described.

In step S640, the mobile device 100 may cause the transparency of the shortcut icon displayed in step S630 to change with the passage of time.

For example, the shortcut icon displayed in step S630 may be displayed in a fuzzy form when initially displayed, then gradually become thicker with time, and again become more blurred with time. That is, the shortcut icon may be displayed in a form that is the darkest at a specific point in time, and the transparency increases around the point of time.

Alternatively, the shortcut icon displayed in step S630 is displayed dark when initially displayed, but gradually increases in transparency over time and disappears after a predetermined time has elapsed.

That is, since the shortcut icon is displayed in step S630, the transparency of the shortcut icon can be changed in a predetermined manner according to the passage of time.

In step S650, the mobile device 100 may extinguish the shortcut icon displayed in step S630. The mobile device 100 may display a shortcut icon and cause the shortcut icon to disappear after a predetermined time has elapsed.

Alternatively, the mobile device 100 may display a shortcut icon and cause the shortcut icon to disappear when the user leaves a particular location or enters a particular location.

Alternatively, the shortcut icon may be displayed on the mobile device 100, and the shortcut icon may disappear at a time when the transparency of the shortcut icon is increased at a certain rate, and the transparency becomes 100% and becomes completely transparent.

7 is a flowchart of a method of collecting a user's usage history of a mobile device 100 by time zone and location according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In step S710, the mobile device 100 may collect the history of using the mobile device 100 by the user. Details of the use of the mobile device 100 by the user may be information about the application and the program executed by the user using the mobile device 100 and may be a specific operation executed by the application and the program executed by the user. Or the history of using the mobile device 100 by the user may be the location information of the mobile device 100. [ Such usage history can also be collected together with time information. The location and time at which each program is executed, the location and time when a specific operation is performed in each application, and the like, may all be the details of the use of the mobile device 100 by the user.

In step S720, the mobile device 100 may analyze the collected details and confirm the number of times of use of each function by time zone.

More specifically, the mobile device 100 can check the frequency of the execution function for each time period by setting a time zone in a predetermined unit and checking the number of functions performed in a specific time zone.

In step S730, the mobile device 100 may analyze the collected details and confirm the use frequency of each function by time zone.

More specifically, the mobile device 100 can determine the frequency of the location-specific execution functions by checking the number of functions performed at a specific location by setting a range of locations within a predetermined range.

The importance degree can be evaluated differently according to the degree of the number of functions used in the place corresponding to the current place in the time zone corresponding to the present time. Also, depending on the importance of the corresponding shortcut icon, the location of the shortcut icon may be displayed on the mobile device 100. Or the transparency displayed on the mobile device 100 may differ depending on the importance of the shortcut icon. Or the size of the shortcut icon may be different when the shortcut icon is displayed on the mobile device 100 according to the importance of the shortcut icon.

In step S830, the mobile device 100 may determine whether the determined function to be recommended is a function used more than a predetermined number of times in a place corresponding to the current place in the time zone corresponding to the present time. That is, after the shortcut icon is displayed in step S820, the mobile device 100 may continuously determine whether the condition for displaying the shortcut icon is continuously maintained. For example, when a shortcut icon having a high frequency of use at a specific place and at a specific time is displayed on the screen of the mobile device 100, if the user moves out of a specific place or a specific time zone has elapsed, . More specifically, the cancellation process may be performed in step 840.

If it is determined in step S840 that the function is not used for a predetermined number of times or more as a result of the determination in step S830, the mobile device 100 may extinguish the displayed shortcut icon. That is, if the user moves out of a specific place or a specific time zone has elapsed, the shortcut icon disappears because the shortcut icon is not satisfied with the criteria presented in step S810.

The shortcut icon providing the recommendation function to the user of the mobile device 100 may be provided in consideration of the current time and the current location as illustrated in FIG. For example, if you frequently call your wife during lunchtime, you can provide a shortcut icon that allows you to call your wife right away at lunchtime. In addition, when the lunch time has elapsed, the shortcut icon to call the wife can be extinguished. Or if there is a frequent frequency of checking the schedule in the morning, a shortcut icon may be provided to check the schedule in the morning.
