In addition, it is to be understood that the location or arrangement of individual components within each disclosed embodiment may be changed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The following detailed description, therefore, is not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention, if properly described, is defined only by the appended claims, along with the full range of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention.

As used herein, the term “communication terminal” refers to a digital device including wired / wireless communication functions or other functions, such as a mobile phone, navigation, web pad, PDA, workstation, personal computer (eg, laptop computer, etc.). As a term referring to a digital device having a memory means and a microprocessor equipped with arithmetic capability, a part of the present specification will be described assuming a communication terminal (for example, a mobile phone) as an example, but is not limited thereto. .

In the present specification, the "inactive state" refers to a state in which the communication terminal is in a communication state, but the display screen is off. Even if the display screen is in the off state, a predetermined function (for example, a music reproduction function or the like) may be operating. As such, the term "inactive state" in the present specification is a concept encompassing a state in which the display screen is off regardless of whether the communication terminal is performing a predetermined operation. However, the communication terminal is completely turned off.

In the present specification, the "active state" refers to a case where the display screen of the communication terminal is in an on state. The transition from the "inactive state" to the "active state" means to turn the display screen on while the display screen is off, regardless of what information is displayed on the display screen in the on state. For example, even if only the lock screen is displayed, this may be referred to as the "active state" of the communication terminal. In addition, the switching from the inactive state to the active state may be implemented by inputting a button, touching a screen, or opening a cover covering the display unit. In addition, the lock screen may be implemented by fingerprint recognition using a terminal button.

In the present specification, the "home screen" is a specific screen displayed on the display unit when the communication terminal is switched from the inactive state to the active state according to the embodiment of the present specification, and is different from the standby screen in the lock mode or the standby state of the communication terminal. Are distinguished. In addition, the home screen may include a lock mode. For example, the home screen may display the home screen when an unlock is entered, or the lock screen may be displayed after a link or skip input is performed on the home screen, or the unlock screen may be simultaneously displayed on the same screen as the home screen. It may be displayed.

1 is a view showing the appearance of a communication terminal according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the communication terminal 100 of the present invention may include a display 110 and an activation button 120. In addition, the camera 130 may further include.

1, a display unit 110 is provided on a front surface of a frame constituting the communication terminal 100, an activation button 120 is provided below the display unit 110, and a camera 130 is disposed above the display unit 110. Although illustrated as being provided, it may be formed in a different form. For example, the display 110 may not be formed over the entire surface of the communication terminal 100. That is, it is sufficient if it is formed in at least a part of the communication terminal 100, and the activation button 120 is sufficient if it is formed in a different part from the display unit 110. In addition, the camera 130 may be formed on the other surface of the communication terminal 100 in which the display unit 110 is not provided.

The display 110 displays various types of information on the operation state of the communication terminal 100, and also displays an interface for user input when the communication terminal 100 is a touch screen driving method. In general, if a state in which there is no user operation for the communication terminal 100 continues for a predetermined time, the communication terminal 100 becomes inactive. The user operation refers to an input through an interface displayed on the display 110, an operation through a button 120, or an operation through a different function key (for example, a volume control key). The condition of becoming inactive may be set by the user. For example, the user may enter and enter the setting menu through an interface displayed on the display 110. On the other hand, it may be switched to the inactive state by pressing another button (for example, on / off button) provided in the communication terminal 100. For example, when the communication terminal 100 is in an active state, pressing and holding the on / off button may completely turn off the communication terminal 100, while pressing the on / off button briefly may receive a call when the call is received. A communicable state may be in an inactive state.

The activation button 120 is means for causing the inactive state of the communication terminal 100 to be switched to the active state. That is, when the communication terminal 100 is in an inactive state, the user switches to the active state by pressing the activation button 120.

FIG. 2 illustrates a state in which the standby screen 230 is displayed on the display unit by pressing the activation button 220 when the communication terminal is in an inactive state 210. The idle screen may provide information such as a date and time, and may further provide an unlocking interface. However, the activation button 220 may function as a means for a different operation (for example, a means for moving to a standby screen while a certain operation state is displayed on the display unit, a means for displaying a list of currently running programs). It may be.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the user presses an activation button when the communication terminal is in an inactive state, the communication terminal does not simply switch to the active state but performs a predetermined operation.

The setting for the operation performed by pressing the activation button when the communication terminal is in an inactive state is possible by the user. For example, the user may enter a setting menu through an interface displayed on the display 110 and set the operation of the communication terminal 100 associated with the activation button 120. In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the communication terminal 100 is in an inactive state, different operations may be performed according to the number of times or the time when the activation button 120 is pressed. For example, the first operation may be performed when the activation button 120 is pressed once, and the second operation may be performed when the activation button 120 is pressed three times in succession. As another example, the first operation may be performed when the activation button 120 is briefly pressed once, and the second operation may be performed when the activation button 120 is pressed once. The communication terminal 100 may include a predetermined clock circuit or a timer to accumulate the number of times the activation button 120 is continuously pressed and to measure the time when the activation button 120 is pressed. For example, when the activation button 120 is pressed and pressed again within the threshold time, it may be determined that it is pressed twice, and when the activation button 120 is pressed longer than the threshold time, the activation button 120 may be determined as being pressed long.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the activation button 120 may be provided with a sub display unit 121. The sub display unit 121 may display information on an operation performed by pressing the activation button 120. The display form may be in various forms such as a figure, text, characters, a picture, and a color. When the display form is a figure, circles, triangles, squares, hexagons, and the like may be displayed. For example, when the first operation is set to be performed by pressing the activation button 120, a circle is displayed on the sub display unit 121, and the second operation is set to be performed by pressing the activation button 120. In this case, a triangle may be displayed on the sub display unit 121 and vice versa. The shape displayed on the sub display unit 121 and the corresponding relationship between each operation and each display can also be set by the user. For example, the user may select the first operation as an operation performed by pressing the activation button 120 in the setting menu, and select a triangle as a form displayed on the sub display unit 121 of the activation button 120. . According to this, even when the communication terminal 100 is in an inactive state, since the triangle is displayed on the sub display unit 121, the user can recognize that the first operation is performed when the activation button 120 is pressed through this. .

The sub display unit 121 may be implemented as a conventional display such as liquid crystal, LCD, LED, etc., but is not limited thereto.

Drive control of the display 110 and the sub display 121 may be performed in the same manner by the same processor, but may not be the same.

A description with reference to FIG. 3 is as follows.

The embodiment directly drives a specific application when the display is switched from the off state 310 to the on state. In particular, the screen provided by the application driving is referred to as the "home screen" 330. The home screen may provide various information. For example, the home screen may provide product advertisements, news, events, and the like. The user may enter a step for more detailed information by selecting a link tab 340 provided on the home screen, or may select a skip tab 350 to move to the idle screen. In addition, the home screen may be an execution of the application itself. The program for providing the home screen may be installed at the time of manufacture of the communication terminal or may be installed through a separate download. In addition, the home screen may be provided after user authentication. For example, a home screen may be provided after user authentication, such as password input, pattern input, fingerprint recognition, iris recognition, and face recognition for unlocking the lock screen. In this case, the home screen may be directly provided without additional input after user authentication. Accordingly, the user may be provided with the home screen at the same time as the user authentication, and may be provided with the user authentication and the home screen at the same time as the display unit is switched from the off state to the on state. That is, the user may execute the user authentication and the home screen without additional input through one input in the off state of the display unit.

Specifically, the home screen may be execution of an installed application, execution of a separate home screen provided by the installed application, or execution through a separate home screen output unit. For example, the home screen may be an execution of the installed application itself. That is, the home screen may be the same as when the application is driven according to the user's input on the idle screen. In this case, when the user inputs the activation button, the specific application itself may be executed immediately without additional input.

In addition, the driving of the application may be the execution of a separate home screen that is distinct from the direct driving of the application itself. That is, the application may provide a separate home screen upon activation of the display, which is distinct from the execution of the application itself.

In addition, the home screen may be provided through a home screen manager that manages the home screen data. For example, when a plurality of applications are installed in one communication terminal, the home screen manager may output the home screen determined by the controller to the display. That is, the output process of the home screen may be performed through the home screen manager rather than an application corresponding to the home screen on which the output is determined. Therefore, even if the home screen is provided through each of the installed applications, the output may be made through a single home screen manager. Furthermore, the home screen management unit may provide a home screen management screen for allowing a user to set or release an application to be output to the home screen. Therefore, the user can more easily control the home screen, and the output home screen can be managed and output through one program. The home screen management unit may be provided through an application installed separately, or may be installed and provided at the time of manufacture of the communication terminal.

In addition, the user may skip the home screen according to the input method of the activation button. That is, the activation button may implement a plurality of operations according to the number of times or the input time of the activation button, thereby controlling the movement to the home screen. For example, when the activation button is briefly pressed in the inactive mode, the screen moves to the home screen. When the button is pressed for a long time, the home screen may be omitted and the standby screen may be entered.

The user can easily obtain various information provided on the home screen 330 through the habitual input button 320, and the information or advertisement provider more easily exposes the information or advertisement provided by the user to the user. You can. More specifically, when a home screen provider receives an advertisement from an advertiser, the home screen provider transmits home screen data to a user's communication terminal through a server. The communication terminal of the user is switched to the active state and simultaneously outputs the transmitted home screen data to the display unit.

The home screen may provide various types of information. For example, the social commerce application may provide information on a new product or a specific product event, and in the case of a sports relay and performance guide application, may provide information on various events on a home screen. In the case of a game application, new update information or new game information may be provided. Therefore, the home screen control allows the user to receive his or her favorite information on the home screen, and the application provider can more easily provide the desired information to the user. The application company may provide data for configuring a separate home screen, or may provide execution of the application itself as a home screen.

Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4. A first embodiment of the present invention provides a communication terminal 400 for providing home screen data.

The communication terminal 400 may include a communication unit 410, a display unit 420, an activation detection unit 430, a home screen controller 440, and a home screen execution unit 450 for data transmission and reception. When the communication terminal 400 is switched from the inactive state to the active state, the display unit 420 is switched to the on mode and the activation detecting unit 430 recognizes the active state. When the active state is recognized, the home screen controller 440 determines whether to run the home screen based on the analysis of the home screen data, and the home screen executor 450 determines the display unit according to the determination of the home screen controller 440. Simultaneously with activation of 420, the home screen is executed. In addition, the home screen controller 440 may perform home screen analysis prior to activation detection, and execute the home screen simultaneously with activation upon detection of activation.

The home screen controller 440 analyzes the home screen data and controls whether the home screen is displayed and the display order. More specifically, the home screen controller may perform one or more analysis of checking the received identification code, checking the pre-approval code, and checking the priority, but is not limited thereto and may perform additional analysis. For example, the home screen controller 440 may determine home screen data, an output order, and the like, of the plurality of received home data.

The home screen data received by the communication terminal includes home screen content and a transmission identification code. The home screen content includes information to be displayed on the home screen of the communication terminal, and the transmission identification code corresponds to the reception identification code of the application installed in the communication terminal so as to check whether the corresponding application is installed in the communication terminal. For example, the home screen controller 440 may not execute the home screen data when the reception identification code corresponding to the transmission identification code of the received home screen data is not confirmed.

In addition, the application provider may directly transmit the home screen data including the transmission identification code corresponding to the reception identification code of the application through the server of the company, and output the data to the home screen of the user's communication terminal. Therefore, the application vendor may provide information to the user directly through the application. In addition, an application company may not provide a home screen directly through its own server, but may indirectly provide a home screen by using a function provided by another application.

The confirmation of the pre-approval code enables the user of the communication terminal to check the application to be executed on the home screen data among the applications installed in the terminal. For example, a user may set an application for approving the home screen output among applications in which the reception identification code is confirmed, that is, an application installed in the communication terminal. Accordingly, the user may selectively display only home screen data of the application preferred by the user among the applications installed in the communication terminal on the home screen. In addition, the transmission identification code and the reception identification code is not limited to one-to-one correspondence. For example, the plurality of home screen data may have a transmission identification code corresponding to one application.

Referring to FIG. 5, a user may agree to provide a home screen by pre-approval when installing an application, or may agree using a home screen selection tab 510 provided in an execution screen of an application. That is, the user may be provided with information about the application on the home screen by selecting the application if the application fits his / her preference during the implementation of the application. In addition, the home screen management application 520 may be integrated to manage whether or not the home screen of the plurality of applications. The home screen management program may select information of applications installed in the corresponding communication terminal and whether to set a home screen for each application. Thus, the user can more easily set a home screen for a plurality of applications. In addition, the pre-approval code management unit may manage the pre-approval code for a plurality of applications. In addition, the home screen management application 520 may execute the output of the determined home screen content. That is, the application set when the display unit is activated does not directly output the home screen, but the home screen management application 520 may control and output the set home screen integrally. Thus, executing the home screen output upon activation of the display unit can be unified with the home screen management application 520.

The confirmation of the priority will be described. When a plurality of applications are designated as the home screen, output of the home screen may be determined through various algorithms. For example, the user may predetermine the priority of the application, and the home screen may be determined according to the priority, or may be determined sequentially or randomly. In addition, the priority may be determined according to the utilization of the application, for example, according to the number of times the application is executed for a certain period of time. The application may also determine the priority. For example, each application may set a priority of a time zone in which the terminal is activated so that an application having a priority in the corresponding time zone configures a home screen. In addition, the priority may be determined based on data based on the utilization of the home screen, for example, a ratio of the user using the information through a link on the home screen. Priority setting is not limited to the above embodiment as various algorithms can be applied according to the purpose of use and ease of implementation. In addition, the priority detection unit may determine the priority according to the time for detecting the activation. For example, each home screen data or application can set a preference for the home screen output time, so that when activation is detected in the preferred time zone, the home screen corresponding to the corresponding application will be prioritized and output on the screen. You can also Also, a plurality of home screen contents may be output on one screen. In this case, the size of the screen output in accordance with the priority may be different.

In addition, the communication terminal may further include a content store for storing home screen content. The content store temporarily stores the home screen content of the home screen data, and when the home screen controller determines output of the home screen content, the home screen execution unit may execute the stored home screen content.

The home screen controller determines the home screen contents to be output when the active mode is switched among the received home screen data through the received identification code check, the pre-approval code check, and the priority check. The home screen execution unit 450 determines the active mode. The home screen content determined at the time of switching is output. The operation of the home screen controller is not limited thereto, and only a part of the received identification code check, the pre-approval code check, and the priority check may be performed or additional analysis may be performed.

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The second embodiment provides a method of providing home screen data using an application, and provides a method of receiving and analyzing home screen data provided by an application server and outputting the same to the home screen.

The application server may transmit the home screen data 600 to the user communication terminal 630. Home screen data 600 may include home screen content 610 and a transmission identification code 620. The user communication terminal 630 receives home screen data from an application server and analyzes home screen data. The application installed in the user communication terminal 630 includes a reception identification code corresponding to the transmission identification code of the home screen data, through which the user communication terminal 630 may determine whether the corresponding application is installed. If the corresponding reception identification code is not confirmed, the user communication terminal may refuse to receive the home screen data, or may delete or reject or suspend the received home screen data. In addition, the transmission identification code and the reception identification code is not limited to one-to-one correspondence. For example, the plurality of home screen data may have a transmission identification code corresponding to one application.

In addition, the application provider may directly transmit the home screen data including the transmission identification code corresponding to the reception identification code of the application through the server of the company, and output the data to the home screen of the user's communication terminal. Therefore, the application vendor may provide information to the user directly through the application. In addition, an application company may not provide a home screen directly through its own server, but may indirectly provide a home screen by using a function provided by another application.

If the reception identification code is confirmed, the home screen data can confirm the pre-approval code. The pre-approval code is a code for determining whether the user approves or rejects the reception of home screen data from the application server, and may output the home screen content when the approval is confirmed. The priority check code is a step of checking the priority of execution when a plurality of home screen contents are waiting, and the user may predetermine the priority of the application and determine the home screen according to the priority, or sequentially or randomly. It may be determined as. In addition, the priority may be determined according to the utilization of the application, for example, according to the number of times the application is executed for a certain period of time. The application may also determine the priority. For example, each application may set a priority of a time zone in which the terminal is activated so that an application having a priority in the corresponding time zone configures a home screen.

In addition, the priority detection unit may determine the priority according to the time for detecting the activation. For example, each home screen data or application can set a preference for the home screen output time, so that when activation is detected in the preferred time zone, the home screen corresponding to the corresponding application will be prioritized and output on the screen. You can also In addition, the priority may be determined based on data based on the utilization of the home screen, for example, a ratio of the user using the information through a link on the home screen. Priority setting is not limited to the above embodiment as various algorithms can be applied according to the purpose of use and ease of implementation.

Also, a plurality of home screen contents may be output on one screen. In this case, the size of the screen output in accordance with the priority may be different.

When it is determined whether to output the home screen content according to the analysis of the home screen data, it detects whether the communication terminal is in an active mode. That is, when the display of the communication terminal is switched from the off state to the on state, the active mode may be detected, and at the same time, the home screen content determined according to the home screen data analysis may be executed.

The active mode detection may be performed after the reception and analysis of the home screen data, but is not limited thereto. The detection of the active mode may be performed before the reception and analysis of the home screen data, or may be performed simultaneously. For example, when the active mode is detected, the home screen data may be received and analyzed to determine the home screen content and output the same to the display.

In addition, analysis and execution of home screen data may be implemented through an application or a program separately provided in the user communication terminal. For example, a user's communication terminal may include a separate home screen control program to collect and manage identification codes, pre-approval codes, and priorities of installed applications, and to receive the home screen content based on the received home screen data. You can also decide to run it.

In addition, analysis and execution of home screen data may be provided by a server application and implemented through an application installed in a user's communication terminal. For example, the installed application checks whether it is home screen data having a transmission identification code corresponding to its reception identification code when receiving the home screen data, and if so, checks the pre-approval code and priority, and then activates the active mode. When detected, the home screen content may be executed.

A third embodiment of the present invention provides a mobile advertising method using an application installed in a communication terminal.

The application provider may directly provide a mobile advertisement to the user by using an application installed on the user communication terminal. The advertisement data is transmitted to the application installed in the communication terminal through the application server, and the installed application may check the corresponding advertisement data through the transmission identification code included in the advertisement data. In addition, the pre-approval code can be set for each application installed by the user so as to prevent the user from being exposed to indiscriminate advertisements, so that the user can selectively use only the desired advertisements. When the reception identification code and the pre-approval code are confirmed in the advertisement data, the communication terminal may be switched from the inactive mode to the active mode and the advertisement data may be output to the display unit.

In addition, the application provider may directly transmit the home screen data including the transmission identification code corresponding to the reception identification code of the application through the server of the company, and output the data to the home screen of the user's communication terminal. Therefore, the application vendor may provide information to the user directly through the application. In addition, an application company may not provide a home screen directly through its own server, but may indirectly provide a home screen by using a function provided by another application.

If a plurality of advertisement data for a plurality of applications is received, the advertisement data output through the algorithm for determining the priority may be determined. Also, a plurality of home screen contents may be output on one screen. In this case, the size of the screen output in accordance with the priority may be different.

Hereinafter, another embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The embodiment may drive different applications upon activation of the mobile communication terminal according to the current location information of the mobile communication terminal. The location information of the mobile communication terminal may be obtained through GPS information of the mobile communication terminal, or may be confirmed through communication with surrounding communication devices. For example, when a user possessing a mobile communication terminal approaches a specific area, a communication device installed in the corresponding area may transmit a signal to the user's mobile communication terminal to confirm the existence of the corresponding mobile communication terminal. That is, the communication device of the region transmits a signal through short-range communication, for example, NFC, Bluetooth, Beacon, WiFi, etc. If the user's mobile communication terminal enters the reception range of the signal, the location of the mobile communication terminal is determined. You can check it. In this case, the communication between the mobile communication terminal and the communication device may be two-way communication for transmitting and receiving signals to each other, but is not limited thereto, and the mobile communication terminal transmits a signal to the communication device or the communication device transmits a signal to the mobile communication terminal. It may be one-way communication. If the user's mobile communication terminal determines to output the home screen based on the received signal, the mobile communication terminal may output the home screen based on the signal to the display unit when activated.

 Specifically, the communication device in the region transmits a signal within a certain range, and if the mobile communication terminal enters the range, it can confirm the existence of the corresponding mobile communication terminal. When activated in the region, the mobile communication terminal determines whether to provide a home screen based on a signal received from a communication device, and thus may provide a home screen. The determination of whether to provide the home screen based on the activation of the mobile communication terminal and the received signal is not limited to the order thereof and may be simultaneously performed. The determination of whether to provide a home screen based on the received signal may include determining whether the received signal corresponds to an application installed in the mobile communication terminal, checking the pre-approval code of the application, and checking the priority of the application. Can be determined through the steps. For example, a home screen based on a received signal may be provided only when an application corresponding to the communication device is installed. The application may be a separate application related to a communication device of a corresponding region, but is not limited thereto. The application may be a general-purpose application that provides a home screen based on a home screen management program or user location information installed in an OS of a mobile communication terminal. have. In addition, the user may set the pre-approval code to output to the home screen only when the signal corresponds to an application approved to provide the home screen. Prior approval by the user may be set at the time of installation or execution of the application, or the application may be set in the integrated management means of the home screen. In addition, the home screen may be determined based on the priority of the corresponding application.

When determining to provide a home screen based on the received signal, a home screen corresponding to activation of the mobile communication terminal may be provided. In this case, the provided home screen may be driving of the corresponding application itself or may be a home screen provided by the corresponding application.

For example, when a user enters a store with a mobile communication terminal, a communication device installed in the store may transmit a signal to the user's mobile communication terminal. When the user's mobile terminal outputs a home screen based on the signal, the store directly transmits information related to the store, such as coupons, event information, new product advertisements, and the like, through the user's mobile terminal. Customized marketing can be performed. In this case, the signal itself transmitted through the communication device may include information to be output on the home screen, or the signal to be transmitted requests only approval of the output of the home screen and, if approved, transmits the information through a separate communication. You may.

When it is determined to output the home screen based on the location, when the user activates the mobile terminal in the store, the user can check the coupon or event information provided in the store on the home screen, and when it is determined not to output the home screen. There may be another home screen or standby screen. In this case, the information provided is not limited to the present embodiment as a variety of information provided by the store, such as coupons, events, advertisements can be provided. In this case, the mobile communication terminal may output information about the corresponding store to the home screen through a home screen management program installed in an operating system (OS), or provide a separate home screen providing program corresponding to the communication device of the corresponding store. Through the home screen can be provided. For example, the home screen may be provided through a separate application related to a corresponding store installed in advance, or may be provided through a general-purpose application that provides a home screen based on user location information. In addition, it may be output to the home screen only if the user corresponds to an application previously approved by the mobile communication terminal. Through this, only the information of the store desired by the user may be selectively output. In addition, the provided home screen may be provided through a signal transmitted from a communication device of a store, but is not limited thereto. The home screen may verify a presence of a mobile communication terminal through a signal of a communication device of a store, and the home screen may be a separate server. It can also be sent.

As such, the user may be provided with a different home screen according to the location information of the mobile communication terminal. Furthermore, the user may be provided with a home screen only for an application previously installed or approved by the user. In this case, the provided home screen may be provided in front of the display unit, but is not limited thereto. The home screen may be partially provided in a predetermined area of the display unit. In addition, the lock screen may be provided at a predetermined portion. The home screen provided in the present embodiment may include a link tab for accessing additional information, and may include a skip tab for entering the idle screen.

According to this embodiment, the store can perform customized marketing by providing information provided by the store to the home screen, and the user wants to accept the information through the home screen provided when the user activates the mobile communication terminal. You can avoid notifications, messages, etc. That is, the user's convenience may be provided by providing a means for confirming information to be selectively provided when necessary according to the convenience, rather than a unilateral means for the user to unconditionally send a message or the like at the store. . For example, if store information is provided in a push format such as a notification or a message, a user may be tired of unwanted messages and notifications every time he or she walks through several stores. Providing the store information through the home screen may selectively activate the mobile communication terminal to check the information when necessary, thereby removing unnecessary messages.

The communication device for determining the location of the mobile communication terminal may be installed in a user's home, car, or workplace. For example, when communicating with a communication device installed in the user's home, when the user activates the mobile communication terminal, the user may be provided with a home screen for checking information related to the user's home or controlling home appliances and lighting. have. In addition, when communicating with a communication device of a vehicle, for example, when activating a mobile communication terminal near a vehicle, a home screen for controlling the unlocking of the vehicle door, starting, in-vehicle air conditioning, etc. may be provided, or When activated inside the vehicle, a home screen for establishing a connection with the vehicle system may be provided. In this case, functions that can be implemented through a mobile communication terminal, for example, a call, a message, an application driving, and audio reproduction may be implemented through a system such as a display or audio installed in a vehicle. In addition, when activating the mobile communication terminal in the vehicle, a home screen for blocking functions that hinder driving may be provided.

The selective provision of the home screen according to the location information of the mobile communication terminal according to the present embodiment may be combined with other control causes described above, that is, whether it corresponds to the installed application, the pre-approval code of the installed application, and the priority of the installed application. It may be chosen. The priority may be determined according to the time at which the activation is detected, or may be selected according to the distance when there are a plurality of communication devices for identifying the location information. For example, the signal of the communication device located at the closest distance may be preferentially processed. In addition, a plurality of home screen information may be simultaneously output on a screen output during activation so that a user can select the screen. For example, a plurality of home screens may be divided and displayed on one screen. In this case, the plurality of output home screens may be output in different sizes according to their priority. In addition, when each home screen is to be displayed on the front of the display unit, it may be possible to move to another home screen through left and right or up and down scrolling, and the moving distance may be adjusted according to priority. For example, the home screen with the highest priority may be placed on the front when activated and moved to the home screen with lower priority as scrolling.
