In particular, in terms of security enhancement, access to information corresponding to the other mode can be restricted when the personal mode or the business mode is implemented.

The personal mode and the business mode described above are only examples for explaining a plurality of modes, and are not limited to the name of the mode if it conforms to the mode discrimination standard referred to in the present specification. In the above description, a plurality of mode distinctions are described based on the application configuration, but a detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings will be given later.

The implementation and activation of a plurality of modes referred to in the present invention will be defined as follows.

According to the present invention, the mobile terminal can implement all of the plurality of modes, and can activate one of the plurality of modes currently implemented. For example, if the plurality of modes are the first and second modes, the mobile terminal may implement 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, it can be said that a mode in which a screen is displayed on the current screen, a mode in which a currently running application is designated, a mode in which a high priority is activated, etc. have. At this time, the non-activated (or deactivated) mode is implemented on the terminal but can be said to operate in the background. Further, if the screen of the first mode is displayed in the first area and the screen of the second mode is displayed in the second area through the screen division, the mode selected by the user, the mode in which the corresponding area is currently active, It can be seen that the application has been activated in the specified mode, high priority mode, and so on.

Optionally, the mobile terminal may implement and activate one mode, and may implement and activate another mode (optional implementation and activation of the mode) if it wishes to switch to another mode.

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

FIG. 3A is a block diagram showing a control unit 180 for configuring a plurality of operating systems (OS) and a dedicated screen of a plurality of operating systems, and FIG. 3B is a block diagram illustrating a screen processing unit 185 of FIG. FIG. More specifically, FIGS. 3A and 3B show a case where a plurality of operating systems are provided in parallel (see FIGS. 4A and 4B, which will be described later).

In the context of the present invention, each of the plurality of modes may be implemented by each of a plurality of operating systems. In other words, the operating systems that support the implementation for each mode may be different.

3A, the control unit 180 may include a screen processor 185, a driver 186, a hypervisor 187, and a main processor 188. In particular, a hypervisor may be referred to as a virtual machine, a virtualization module, a virtual machine monitor module, a virtualization module monitor, etc. However, It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to those precise embodiments.

More specifically, a plurality of operating systems stored in the memory 160 are each provided with a flame buffer, and the screen processing unit 185, when a plurality of operating systems are driven, And determines which operating system dedicated screen is to be displayed on the screen of the current display unit 151 under the control of the main processing unit 188. [

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 (when only one mode is implemented) or under the control of the main processing unit 188, It is possible to combine or edit the frames received from the buffers to generate a single integrated frame to display an integrated dedicated screen (in the case of implementing a plurality of modes) including all dedicated screens of the plurality of operating systems.

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

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

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

More specifically, the control unit 180 (particularly, the hypervisor) activates the mode corresponding to the currently booted Guest OS 1 or 2, or (2) activates the mode corresponding to the 1 and the guest OSs 1 and 2 corresponding to the second mode are sequentially booted or simultaneously booted, (2-1) both the first and second modes are implemented and activated, or Only one of the first mode and the second mode can be activated (2-2).

Returning to Fig. 3, according to Fig. 3B, the screen processing section 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 processing unit 188 to generate one integrated frame and the display driver 185b generates layout information for the layout manager 185a To be displayed on the display unit 151. [0064]

In addition, the driver 186 controls the operation of all operating systems. The hypervisor 187 is a virtualization engine that enables the use of a plurality of operating systems in the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention as intermediate software between the main processor 188 and operating systems. In addition, the main processor 188 controls all operations related to operating a plurality of operating systems according to the present invention.

As described above, the screen processing unit 185, the driver 186, the hypervisor 187, and the main processing unit 188 may be included in the control unit 180 and may be included in the memory 160, Lt; / RTI >

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

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

Generally, 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. Accordingly, the 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, and an Apple OS, and a dedicated application may be set differently for each of the above OSs. OSes (e.g., 2.1 version of Android OS_ and 2.2 version of Android OS) different from the same kind of version as well as different types of OSs (e.g., Android OS and Apple OS) May be included.

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

More specifically, in configuring the first, second, and common database storage areas, the mobile terminal 100 may use different memories in hardware or may be provided in the same memory but may restrict access to each mode, It is also possible to distinguish storage areas by using separate storage partitions.

At this time, the operating systems implementing the first and second modes may be the same or different from each other. In addition, there may be more than one mode that can be implemented by the mobile terminal 100, and in such a case, the database storage area may be further subdivided.

More specifically, the first database storage area 160 (a) includes an area (first application area) where at least one first application executed in the first mode is stored, an area where content related to the first application is stored 1 content area) and an area in which data associated with the first application is stored (first data area).

In the second database storage area 160 (b), a region (second application area) in which at least one second application executed in the second mode is stored, an area in which a content related to the second application is stored Area) in which data related to the second application is stored (second data area).

Also, the common database storage area 160 (c) is provided with an area (common application area) in which at least one common application executed in both the first and second modes is stored, an area in which contents associated with the common application are stored Area) and an area where data related to the common application is stored (common data area).

On the other hand, when the second mode is a business mode that is easy for a user's public life, the information stored in the second database storage area 160 (b) and the information stored in the common database storage area 160 (c) Information can be utilized only when it is shared with the enterprise server 300, stored only in the enterprise server 300, {160 (b) is unnecessary), and is connected to the enterprise server 300. Here, the enterprise server 300 may include a company server of a company in which the user works or a server of a specific company designated by the user (or a company in which the user works).

Also, during the first mode activation, the mobile terminal 100 can utilize only the information stored in the first database storage area 160 (a) and the first mode of the common database storage area 160 (c) , And during the second mode activation, all of the information stored in the first, second and common database storage areas 160 (a) - (c) can be utilized. Of course, the opposite case can also be implemented, and the information about the first mode can not be used even during the second mode activation.

Also, in the drawing, an application area, a content area, and a data area are shown to be divided in a database storage area, but they may be integrated in some cases.

4A and 4B illustrate a method (hereinafter referred to as a second method) of booting a guest OS supporting another mode by driving a hypervisor on a Host OS supporting one mode. In particular, the mode supported by the Host OS is the private mode, and the mode supported by the Guest OS may be the business mode.

In particular, according to FIG. 4C, the switching operation between the personal mode (P mode) and the business mode (B mode) can be performed by the B2B Manager. Of the two areas divided by the dotted line, the components shown in the P mode area operate at the implementation of the private mode, the components shown at the B mode area operate at the implementation of the business mode, The elements can operate in both modes.

According to the present invention, the mobile terminal 100 can implement a plurality of modes selectively, concurrently, or sequentially on an operating system, and a plurality of different operating systems (hereinafter referred to as individual operating systems) (Hereinafter referred to as a common operating system) may be designated. In particular, a plurality of mode implementations may be controlled by the hypervisor 187.

More specifically, the presently implemented or activated mode according to an individual operating system or a common operating system is defined as follows. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the plurality of modes are the first mode and the second mode. Of course, there may be more than one mode in some cases.

First, when the common operating system is booted, the control unit 180 implements (1) implementing and activating either the first or second mode, or (2) implementing both the first and second modes, 2 mode can be activated.

Next, when the individual operating system is booted, the control unit 180 may (1) implement and activate a mode corresponding to the currently booted individual operating system, (2) execute the first and second modes corresponding to the first and second modes, (2-1) both the first mode and the second mode are implemented and the first and second modes are implemented when the second operating system is sequentially booted or concurrently booted, Mode can be activated (2-2).

Hereinafter, the distinction between the plurality of modes will be described in detail.

According to the present invention, each of the plurality of modes can 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 characteristic, an application group, have.

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

Each of the plurality of modes may have indicators different from each other to indicate the corresponding mode. The mode-specific indicator can be basically stored in the mobile terminal 100 or downloaded from an external server (or an external terminal). In addition, the mode-specific indicator can be set or selected by the user, or arbitrarily set by the control unit 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 / color / font size, a home screen screen (including the number of pages and a page indicator) (Including the number of applications included in one home screen, etc.), an application identifier, an LED color, a buzzer sound, a keypad type (including backlight color of the keypad), a mode switching key area, a group identifier Lt; / RTI > Of course, the above examples are only examples of mode indicators and may include all display elements for distinguishing modes.

In this regard, a detailed description will be given with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5D. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the first mode and the second mode are assumed to be the personal mode and the business mode, respectively, and one of the personal mode and the business mode is activated.

5A, when the personal mode is currently active, the mobile terminal 100 can display an icon (P mode) 501 corresponding to the personal mode in one area of the screen (a) (B mode) 502 corresponding to the business mode can be displayed in one area of the screen if the mode is activated.

5B, the mobile terminal 100 includes the mode change key region 510 in one area of the screen. If the personal mode is currently active, the mobile terminal 100 displays the area corresponding to the personal mode in the mode change key region 510 (B) 512 corresponding to the business mode of the mode changeover key region 510 if the current business mode is active (b) ).

5C, the mobile terminal 100 includes a personal mode area 521, a work mode area 522, and a switch command area 523 on the screen. If the current personal mode is active, P) 521 and can identify and display the business mode area (B) 522 if the current business mode is active (b).

5D, when the personal mode is currently activated, the mobile terminal 100 displays an event (for example, an e-mail, a message, a call, etc.) or an event frequency (A), and if the current business mode is activated, a notification window 531 for notifying the user of the event or the number of events (or the time of occurrence, (B), a notification window 532 for informing the user of the information (e.g.

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

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

In addition, each of the plurality of modes can utilize only the information stored in the corresponding database storage area or the corresponding information stored in the common database storage area, and further, the information on the other mode can not be utilized in any mode. Alternatively, any one of a plurality of modes (for example, a business mode) may utilize information on another mode (for example, a personal mode), but other modes may not utilize information on a mode.

Further, if the information on the first mode can be utilized in the second mode (or vice versa), the access restriction is set in the second mode or a higher security level is set in the second mode (To be described later).

This will be described in detail with reference to Figs. 6A to 7B. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the first mode and the second mode are assumed to be the personal mode and the business mode, respectively, and it is assumed that any one of the personal mode and the business mode is active. .

6A, when the mobile terminal 100 is executing a phone book (an example of a common application) in the personal mode, only the correspondent information corresponding to the personal mode among the partner information associated with the phone book can be extracted and displayed .

6B, when the phone book is executed in the business mode, the mobile terminal 100 extracts and displays only the counterpart information corresponding to the business mode among the counterpart information associated with the phone book, or (a) Mode can be extracted and displayed (b).

In particular, FIG. 6B illustrates a case where all areas 603 are activated. When the personal area P 601 is activated, only the counterpart information corresponding to the personal mode is activated Only the counterpart information corresponding to the business mode can be selectively displayed.

7A, when the mobile terminal 100 is executing the schedule management (an example of the common application) in the personal mode, it can extract and display only the schedule corresponding to the personal mode among the schedules associated with the schedule management.

7B, when the schedule management is executed in the work mode, the mobile terminal 100 extracts and displays only the schedule corresponding to the work mode among the schedules associated with the schedule management, or displays the schedule in the personal mode and the work mode It is possible to extract and display schedules corresponding to any one of them (b).

In particular, FIG. 7B shows a case where all areas 703 are activated. When the personal area P 701 is activated, only the schedule corresponding to the personal mode is activated when the enterprise area B 702 is activated Only the schedule corresponding to the business mode can be selectively displayed.

In particular, in FIGS. 6A and 7B, it is not possible to access the information on the business mode or the database storage area storing the business mode in the personal mode, but can freely access the information on the personal mode or the database storage area storing the business mode. Lt; / RTI >

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

In each of the plurality of modes, (1) the user access authority may be changed according to different security levels, (2) the access restriction is set in one mode and the access restriction is not set in another mode, Can vary.

In this regard, a particular mode of a plurality of modes may require an authentication procedure to enter into it. Therefore, only when a valid authentication procedure is performed to enter a specific mode, a specific mode can be entered. In particular, the authentication procedure may be required if the access mode is set to a specific mode or a security level higher than a certain level is set.

For example, in the mode in which the user access authority is high, the information corresponding to the low mode or the information corresponding to the low mode can be freely utilized by freely accessing the information of the database or its database storage area. However, Or access to its database storage area.

In addition, the mobile terminal 100 requests input of user authentication information at the time of entering or switching to a mode in which the user has a high access right, and when entering valid user authentication information, (An example of the authentication procedure). In addition, the mobile terminal 100 may be configured to have a low level of user authentication information (e.g., name and resident number) in a low security level mode, a high level of user authentication information (e.g., , A resident number, a specific touch pattern, and a specific password).

The following will be more specifically described in relation to the management (for example, input, inquiry, editing, and the like) of information related to an application (including contents or data) For convenience of explanation, a plurality of modes are limited to the first and second modes.

According to the first case, there may be applications that can input contents or data in common regardless of the mode. For example, applications that perform basic functions such as scheduling, scheduling, email, messaging, instant messaging, conference calls, video calls, the Internet,

According to the second case, it is possible to input information without mode discrimination as in the first case, but it is possible to distinguish the database storage area by mode (see FIG. 3C).

More specifically, information can not be exchanged between the modes, or information can be exchanged to one another. For example, it is possible to move the information from the personal mode to the business mode, but the information movement in the opposite direction may not be possible. Also, it is possible to move information from a lower class to a higher class by setting a different security level for each of a plurality of modes, but it is impossible to move information from a higher class to a lower class.

Further, in a specific situation, an external terminal having a remote authority can delete only information (for example, application, contents and data) about a specific mode or shut down a specific mode itself. For example, a specific situation may include the case where an employee unauthorizedly removes the terminal, the terminal is stolen, a storage medium not registered in the terminal is mounted, or a terminal is connected to a network not registered.

Further, with respect to the user access authority, an application available in business mode according to the user class of the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., set in view of the in-office level, intra-company business characteristics, intra-company departments, etc.) , Contents, data, and the like can be made different from each other, and functions for a specific application can be made different. For example, if the user class is above a certain level (for example, the group room), the approval function can be used, but if the user has a certain criteria (for example, employee), the approval function can be deactivated. Also, depending on the user class, there may be different information ranges (e.g., the data fields can be configured depending on the user class) in which the same content / data are available or the same content / data is available in the same application. Also, depending on the user's authority, an icon associated with a task not belonging to the corresponding authority may not be displayed on the terminal itself or displayed even if the icon is displayed.

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

For example, in business mode, you can prohibit the shooting function, restrict access to the network, or prevent the printing function for security reasons. Also, in business mode, business related applications may be provided and in private mode, business related applications may not be provided. Of course, the reverse is also possible.

Alternatively, there may be content or applications specialized only in the one-way mode. For example, an application specialized for business mode may have a business application, which can be uploaded to a billing system or a company server, and downloaded from a company server.

Furthermore, mode-specific access (or entry) restrictions are possible depending on the location or time. For example, you can set your home to not enter business mode, and you can set your company to not enter private mode at certain times. In some cases, in the case of a separately authorized person, it may be possible to enter the business mode at home, or to enter the personal mode at a specific time in the company.

In addition, the users using the business mode can provide an interface that can be shared with each other, so that information can be shared with each other. If the mode is switched to the personal mode, the interface for sharing the information can be blocked.

Furthermore, there may be a hardware module (common module) usable in all of the plurality of modes, or a hardware module (dedicated module) available only in a specific mode among a plurality of modes. Thus, 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 can not be activated. At this time, the common module and the dedicated module may be designated according to the user's selection, or may be designated according to the determination of the controller 180 or the enterprise server 300. [

For example, assuming that the first mode and the second mode are the private mode and the business mode, the common module includes a mobile communication module 112 for transmitting and receiving calls and messages, a power supply unit 190, a display unit 151, A dedicated module in the personal mode may include a camera 121 and a position information module 115 and a dedicated module in the business mode may include a projector module 155 or the like . The above examples of the common module and the dedicated module are merely one embodiment, and thus the present invention is not limited to the examples described above, and can be configured in various ways.

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.

8A, when the mobile terminal 100 accesses the document 1 (an example of the content) in the personal mode, the mobile terminal 100 can (a) grant the read permission to the document 1, (B) In the case of document 1, read, delete and edit rights can be granted. Furthermore, if you are a company with a certain job level or higher, you may be granted more payment rights if Document 1 is a document requiring payment.

8B, when the file 1 (an example of the content) corresponding to the business mode is selected from the file list in the personal mode, the mobile terminal 100 notifies the user that there is no access right to the file 1, Further, the user can select whether to switch to business mode to confirm file 1 (b).

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

In the above description, the case where the user access authority is set for each mode has been described, but it may be set for each application, content, or data depending on the case. Therefore, even if the same content is recognized by a user who is authorized to access the user, it can not be recognized by a user who is not authorized to access the user.

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

In each of the plurality of modes, the mode-specific applications can be configured differently, and the content or data corresponding to the application can be configured differently even in a common application.

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

Also, the configuration of the content / data may be different, including both the case where the content / data content itself is different or the case where the content / data content is different in part. Particularly, in the latter case, it may mean that the contents of the specific contents corresponding to the first and second modes are different even if the specific contents are all designated in the first and second modes. This may be possible by configuring different data fields on a per-mode basis for the same content or data.

In this regard, a detailed description will be made with reference to Figs. 9A and 9B.

9A, the mobile terminal 100 designates the contacts 911 and 921 and the emails 912 and 922, which are different from each other, in the personal mode and the business mode in storing the same partner information, and in the personal mode, The address 913 and the birthday information 914 are further specified and in the business mode, the payment authority 923, the rank 924, and the department 925 can be further designated.

9B, in storing the same schedule, even if the contents and attendee information 931 and 941 are similarly designated for the personal mode and the work mode, the time information 932 is further specified in the personal mode, The conference room information 942 and the announcement 943 can be further specified.

Furthermore, the mobile terminal 100 may set different keypad types for each mode as shown in FIG. 10A, and may set the time zones differently for each mode as shown in FIG. 10B. In addition, the mobile terminal 100 may set different backup levels of the application and related information for each mode. For example, in the personal mode, information can be backed up in the last week, and in the business mode, information can be backed up for a month or real-time backed up. Of course, the mode-specific backup level may be set by the user or arbitrarily set by the control unit 180. [

Particularly, in the business mode, in consideration of the state (for example, the currently activated mode, the current location, the time zone, etc.) of the counterpart terminal to be contacted at present, the counterpart terminal is not in the current business mode, In this case, the user can be informed and selected whether or not to be contacted. In this case, the mobile terminal 100 can receive the information indicating the status of the partner terminal from the partner terminal or the enterprise server, and can grasp the status of the partner terminal using the received information.

Further, in the business mode, all the previously stored schedule can be modified to reflect the current time zone (if the time zone is changed).

In addition, if there is no user input operation for a certain period of time in the business mode, the business mode can be locked or shutdown automatically or according to the user's selection. At this time, in order to release the locked state or the suspended state, the user authentication information corresponding to the business mode must be inputted or authentication is required from the enterprise server. Also, in the business mode, when the user terminal is equipped with the overseas roaming function, the overseas roaming function can be automatically canceled if the current position of the user is domestic, and the overseas roaming function can be automatically executed when the user is abroad.

According to the fifth embodiment, each of the plurality of modes can be differentiated in order 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 be differentiated depending on whether the currently active mode is the first or second mode.

Here, the feature different for each mode may mean that the configuration of the application (including the configuration of the content / data), display, or security is different.

For example, different features for different modes may include the structure of the application (e.g., the composition of the menu item), the screen of the application (e.g., background image, font, font size, (See FIGS. 6A and 7B), the data field configuration of the content / data (see FIGS. 9A and 9B), application functions, security for applications (or content / data) It can mean to say. Of course, the above examples are merely one embodiment, and therefore, any application can be applied if the common applications can be configured differently for each mode.

For example, in the case of a camera, the shooting function is allowed in the personal mode, but the shooting function in the business mode may not be permitted. In the case of the telephone directory, the name of the other party, the telephone number, and the personal e-mail address are provided in the personal mode. In addition, in the business mode, the e-mail address, the rank, the department, You can also provide more.

In this regard, a detailed description will be made with reference to FIG. 10C. For convenience of explanation, a plurality of modes will be limited to personal mode and business mode.

10C, the mobile terminal 100 can receive an execution command signal from a user for a telephone directory (an example of a common application).

If the personal mode is activated, the mobile terminal 100 can execute the phone book according to the feature corresponding to the personal mode and display a screen corresponding thereto 6a or 9a (a)). When the business mode is active, the phone book is executed according to the features corresponding to the business mode and a screen corresponding thereto can be displayed (refer to FIG. 6b or 9a (b)).

For example, when a common application is to be executed in the first mode, it is necessary to input authentication information that does not require an authentication procedure or has a security degree of a lower level. However, in the second mode, When a common application is to be executed, an authentication procedure may be required or authentication information having a high degree of security may be input. At this time, application execution may include output of content or data related to the application, as well as screen display of the application.

According to the sixth embodiment, a plurality of modes can be distinguished by 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, first and second user information different from each other may be set in each of the first and second modes. More specifically, when the mobile terminal 100 is assigned the first and second telephone numbers (dual SIM), the first and second telephone numbers can be set in the first and second modes, respectively.

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

For example, the control unit 180 may configure an application group including the executable application (s) for each mode when at least one application in each of the plurality of modes can be executed. Further, the application group may be configured according to the application type as well as the mode. For example, if the application type is currency, the application group includes call-related applications, and if the application type is a camera, the application group may include camera-related applications.

Furthermore, when the specific group identifier is selected, the mobile terminal 100 may display an indicator of applications belonging to the application group, or may display a specific group identifier It is possible to switch to the corresponding mode (assuming it is not the currently activated mode).

According to the present invention, when implementing a plurality of modes, the mobile terminal 100 can display information corresponding to each of a plurality of modes, and information corresponding to any mode can be shared among a plurality of modes.

Hereinafter, a method of sharing information among modes according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

11 is a flowchart of an information sharing method of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the plurality of modes are the first mode and the second mode. Of course, the embodiments described below can be applied even when two or more modes are implemented.

11, the mobile terminal 100 implements the first and second modes under the control of the controller 180 (S1110), and selectively activates the first and second modes (S1120 ). In other words, the mobile terminal 100 can activate any one of the first and second modes while implementing both the first and second modes.

If the operating system is designated for each mode according to the control of the control unit 180 in the implementation step S1110, the mobile terminal 100 determines whether the first and second individual operating systems corresponding to the first and second modes The first and second modes of the OS may be respectively implemented. If the mode-specific operating systems are common, the first and second modes may be implemented using a common operating system (single OS) .

In the activation step S1120, when the first and second applications are executed in the first and second modes, respectively, under the control of the control unit 180, the mobile terminal 100 is controlled according to the characteristics corresponding to the first mode Execute the first application, and execute the second application according to the feature corresponding to the second mode. At this time, the first application and the second application may be an application (common application hereinafter) that can be commonly executed in the first and second modes, or an application that can be executed by being dedicated to the first and second modes Application).

For example, assuming that the phone book, which is a common application, is executed in the personal mode (an example of the first mode) and the business mode (the example of the second mode), the mobile terminal 100 is configured to (1) (One example of the first information), (2) a feature corresponding to the business mode, and (3) (E.g., an example of the second information) based on a counterpart information list composed of counterpart information related to the business mode or a data field corresponding to the business mode.

Hereinafter, modes to be activated at booting of the OS for each of the multi-OS types (see FIGS. 4A to 4C) will be described in more detail.

For example, the multi OS type includes a first multi OS type (composed of Guest OS 1, Guest OS 2, first mode) and a second multi OS type (composed of Host OS, Guest OS, ) May be included. Furthermore, it can be assumed that guest mode 1 corresponds to personal mode, guest OS 2 and guest OS correspond to business mode.

First, according to the first multi-OS type, the mobile terminal 100 can simultaneously boot the guest OS 1 and the guest OS 2 or sequentially boot up the hypervisor included in the controller 180, The user can activate the selected specific mode on the guest OS corresponding to the selected specific mode (if the specific mode is selected by the user or by the control unit 180). On the other hand, when the selection process of the specific mode is omitted, the mobile terminal 100 can activate the personal mode using the guest OS 1 designated by default.

Next, according to the second multi-OS type, the mobile terminal 100 first boots the Host OS corresponding to the personal mode according to the control of the controller 180, and pre-loads the Guest OS corresponding to the business mode (Pre-loading). Then, the mobile terminal 100 activates the private mode on the Host OS and activates the business 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, when pre-loading the guest OS, the initial OS booting time takes a long time, but once the booting is completed, both OSes are booted, so that the mode switching can be performed quickly and the guest OS can be post- If the initial OS boot is performed quickly, but the user wants to switch to the mode corresponding to the guest OS, the mode switching time may take a long time due to the time required for booting the guest OS.

11, the mobile terminal 100 in the activation step S1120 is controlled by the control unit 180 to select either the first mode or the second mode in accordance with the user's selection at the booting of the operating system, Can be activated.

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

Particularly, in sequential booting of a multi-OS, the mobile terminal 100 can preferentially boot an OS satisfying a predetermined condition under the control of the control unit 180. [ For example, the control unit 180 preferentially boots an OS satisfying at least one of the following conditions: an OS with a fast boot order, an OS designated to boot first by the user, and an OS supporting a mode corresponding to the current terminal status . More specifically, when the current terminal location is located at a specific location corresponding to a specific mode or the current time belongs to a specific time corresponding to a specific mode, the controller 180 may preferentially boot the OS operating the specific mode have. Furthermore, the control unit 180 can first activate the mode corresponding to the booted OS.

When the first and second modes are implemented according to the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 transmits first and second information (first and second mode information) of the first and second modes, respectively, On the display unit 151 (S1130).

Here, the mode information may include information on a mode currently being implemented on the mobile terminal 100. [ In other words, the mode information can be displayed if the corresponding mode is currently implemented regardless of whether the corresponding mode is activated or not.

For example, the mode information includes a home screen of a corresponding mode (e.g., a list of applications executed in the mode or a standby screen of the mode), an execution screen of a specific application when executing a specific application, Data may be displayed on a display screen of a specific content / data when outputting data, or a web page provided by a specific web site when accessing a specific web site.

Further, the mode information may include an application executed in the corresponding mode, and may include content or data related to an application executed in the mode. Further, the application may include not only the program itself corresponding to the application, but also a wider variety of information. For example, when the application executed in the corresponding mode is an application for communication with the other party, it is necessary to include information (for example, telephone number, email address, instant messenger ID, etc.) And may include information necessary for setting an application, identification information (e.g., name, representative icon, etc.) of the application, address information on the server of the application, and the like.

In the display step S1130, the mobile terminal 100 can display the first and second information in different areas. Hereinafter, it is assumed that the first and second information are displayed in the first and second areas, respectively.

Hereinafter, the mode activation will be described with reference to the mode information display.

In the activation step S1120, the mobile terminal 100 may activate any one of the first and second modes corresponding to the first and second information, under the control of the controller 180. [

For example, the mobile terminal 100 may be configured to (1) activate a mode corresponding to information displayed in a region where a touch operation is input from a user, (2) activate a mode corresponding to information received from the user, 3) activate the mode in which the information is changed (add / delete / edit, etc.) or (4) activate the mode in which the application's execution state has changed. Further, the mobile terminal 100 activates a mode corresponding to a larger area of the first and second areas, or (6) activates a mode corresponding to a main display area of the first and second areas Can be activated.

Of course, in the activation step S1120, the mobile terminal 100 may activate the mode in which the activation command is input from the user regardless of the mode information display, or may activate the default mode to be activated.

(1) to (6) above, of course, (2) to (6) when the touch operation for the second area is input in the first mode activation state 6) is also applicable), the control unit 180 may switch to the second mode to deactivate the first mode and activate the second mode. More specifically, the control unit 180 determines whether or not the access restriction is set in the second mode, and can switch to the second mode only when the access restriction is set and the authentication procedure is effectively performed.

For example, when the first mode is the personal mode and the second mode is the business mode, the access restriction is set. Furthermore, if the authentication procedure for switching to (or entering) the second mode is successful, then the authentication procedure may be skipped if it is re-entered (or re-entered) into the second mode. For example, this is the case of re-switching for a certain period (working time, day, week, etc.), when the terminal is turned on, and when it is re-switching during off time.

More specifically, in the first or second multi-OS mode, the mobile terminal 100 performs a mode switching operation in the active state of the personal mode or the work mode according to the mode switching in the multi-OS environment. When a command signal is detected, either the business mode or the personal mode can be activated.

Hereinafter, various display methods of the first and second information will be described in detail. The display of the first and second information may be described in relation to the first and second areas in which the first and second information are respectively displayed.

In the display step S1130, under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 displays the size, color, position and display of the first and second information (or the first and second areas) At least one of the methods can be adjusted.

For example, the control unit 180 may determine the size, color, position, or display mode of the first and second information based on the user selection. Thus, the user can freely control the display state of the first and second information.

Alternatively, the control unit 180 may determine whether or not the first and second (or the first and second) operating modes are selected based on at least one of the frequency of use (or frequency of activation) of the first and second modes, the number of executable applications, You can determine the size, color, location, or display of information. More specifically, the higher the frequency of use, the larger the size of the area in which the information is displayed, and the color of the information (when application-specific colors are designated) may be different depending on what application is currently being executed. Alternatively, if the size of the area in which the information is displayed in a case where the currently executed application is a sound-based (display is not important) application (for example, a music playback application, a voice call application, a radio application, (For example, 1/4 of the entire screen), and when the currently executed application is a display-oriented application (for example, a moving image playback application, a video call application, a TV application, etc.) (For example, 1/2 of the entire screen).

When the first and second applications are executed in the first and second modes under the control of the control unit 180 in the display step S1130 respectively, And the execution state of the second application, respectively. For example, the execution state of the application may include the output state of the content or data according to the execution of the application.

Further, in the display step S1130, the mobile terminal 100 controls the display part 151 to display information related to the first application executable in the first mode as the first information under the control of the control part 180 And to display the information related to the second application associated with the first one of the at least one application executable in the second mode as the second information.

Furthermore, if the mobile terminal 100 is currently executing the first application, it displays (1) information related to the second application when a display command of information related to the second application is input from the user, or (2) 1 application, the information related to the second application can be automatically displayed. In particular, in (2), there is no need to input a separate operation from the user.

Here, the information related to the application includes an execution screen of the application (for example, an output screen of content or data related to the application) if the application is executed, and identification information (E.g., an icon, a name, etc.) or an address information on the server of the application.

Also, the second application associated with the first application may be that the first and second applications are common applications in the first and second modes, or at least one functionality may include similar or identical applications. For example, a common application may refer to an application (e.g., both the first and second applications may be Phonebook applications) that may be run in common in the first and second modes with different features thereof , Applications with similar / identical functions may not be the same, but the functions performed at application run may be similar or identical applications (e.g., the first and second applications may be call application and phone book applications, respectively) .

Hereinafter, the display of the first and second information will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the first and second modes are the personal mode and the business mode, and the first and second information are assumed to be personal information and business information.

12A to 12C are first diagrams for displaying personal information and business information. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the personal information and the business information are stored in an application executable in a personal mode and a business mode respectively displayed in a home screen of a personal mode (hereinafter referred to as a personal home screen) and a home screen of a business mode Is the information about the network.

12A and 12B, the mobile terminal 100 divides the entire screen into two areas, and displays the personalized home screen in the first area 1210 and the business home screen in the second area 1220. [ More specifically, the personal home screen includes icons representing applications executable in the personal mode, and the business home screen may include icons representing applications executable in the business mode.

In particular, Figs. 12A and 12B show the vertical viewing state and the horizontal viewing state, respectively. In Fig. 12A (or Fig. 12B), when the display unit 151 rotates 90 degrees, You can change it.

12C, when the mobile terminal 100 receives the selection signal for the first icon 1211 among the icons displayed on the personal home screen, the mobile terminal 100 displays the first icon 1210 on the first area 1210 while activating the personal mode, The execution state of the first application indicated by the first application 1211 can be displayed. When the mobile terminal 100 receives the selection signal for the second icon 1221 displayed on the business home screen, the mobile terminal 100 displays the second icon 1221 on the second area 1220 while activating the business mode. 2 You can display the running status of the application.

In other words, the mobile terminal 100 can execute each of a plurality of applications belonging to different modes, and can display each execution state in each area. Of course, the above-described embodiment can be applied to a case of executing a plurality of applications belonging to one mode.

13A to 13C are second diagrams for displaying personal information and business information. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the mode information is displayed in a window manner and the execution status of an application running in the mode is displayed as mode information. Of course, as the mode information, not only the execution state of the application but also any information related to the mode can be displayed.

13A, when the mobile terminal 100 executes the 1-1 application in the work mode and executes the 2-1 application in the personal mode, the mobile terminal 100 changes the execution state of the 1-1 application to the 1-1 window (1311) and the execution state of the second-1 application can be displayed in the second-first window (1321).

According to Fig. 13B, the mobile terminal 100 can execute a plurality of applications (hereinafter referred to as " 1-1 " and " 1-2 applications ") in the business mode 2 application can be displayed in the 1-1 and 1-2 windows 1311 and 1312 (a). Further, the mobile terminal 100 displays information corresponding to the second-2 application associated with the application currently running in the business mode among the executable application (s) in the personal mode, in the second-second window 1322 (B) It can be done. For applications associated with an application, refer to the preceding description.

At this time, the information corresponding to the second-2 application may include the execution state of the second-second application and may include identification information (e.g., icon, name, etc.) / address information A market address for providing the second-2 application, etc.), and the like. In particular, in the latter case, the second-second application may be executed when the corresponding identification information is selected by the user, and may be provided from the market when the address information is selected by the user.

For example, if the application currently running in the business mode is a voice call application, an email application, a message application, etc., the second-2 application may include a phonebook application, and if the application currently running in the business mode is a document search application 2-2 Applications may include Internet applications (to retrieve related documents from the Internet), dictionary applications, and so on.

13C, when the mobile terminal 100 executes the 1-1 to 1-3 applications in the business mode, the execution state of each of the 1-1 to 1-3 applications is changed to the 1-1 to 1- 3 windows 1311 to 1313 (a), and it is assumed that any window among the 1-1 to 1-3 windows 1311 to 1313 (hereinafter referred to as a 1-3 window 1313) (1313) when receiving an additional execution command from a user with respect to the first to third applications among the application (s) executable in the personal mode Information can be displayed in the second to third window 1323 (b). At this time, the first-third window 1313 may be changed to the second-third window 1323. That is, only the displayed information is different, but the position, size and display form of the window may be the same or may be different.

Although not shown in the drawing, the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 13B can be applied to a case where the business mode and the personal mode are exchanged with each other.

14A and 14B are third views for displaying first and second information. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that one of the business information and the personal information is displayed in the main display area and the other is displayed in the auxiliary display area. For example, the main display area occupies most of the entire screen, and the auxiliary display area may be a part of the remaining area except for the main display area on the entire screen.

For example, a touch drag operation corresponding to a layout change may include a touch drag operation in either direction from a border (or edge) of each region.

Returning to FIG. 11, the mobile terminal 100 detects a signal (hereinafter referred to as a shared signal) for sharing the first information among the first and second information under the control of the controller 180 (S1140). For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the shared signal is detected as corresponding to the first information, but the second information can also be detected.

In the sensing step S1140, when the mobile terminal 100 receives (1) a sharing command operation for the first information from the user through the user input unit 130, or (2) when the first information is received from the user through the first and second Mode, it is possible to sense the shared signal for the first information under the control of the control unit 180. In this case, In particular, in the case (2), the shared signal can be automatically detected even if there is no shared command operation from the user.

(1), the shared instruction operation includes a touch drag operation from an area where first information is displayed (hereinafter referred to as a first area) to an area where second information is displayed (hereinafter referred to as a second area) (For example, tilting in a certain direction, shaking a certain number of times, etc.) for receiving a sharing command, and a sharing command for receiving a sharing command A corresponding user voice input may be included. Of course, the above examples are only one embodiment, so there is no restriction on the input method of the shared command operation.

Specifically, when the first information is information related to the common application, when the sharing command signal for the first information is received from the enterprise server 300, the control unit 180 transmits the first information When at least one of the first information is partially or partially updated with the second mode and all or a part of the first information is updated, It can be determined that both of the first mode and the second mode need to be managed and stored.

When the mobile terminal 100 senses the shared signal for the first information, the mobile terminal 100 shares the first information with the second mode under the control of the controller 180 (S1150).

In particular, in the sharing step S1150, the control unit 180 may share the first information with the second mode according to a predetermined grade. Here, the predetermined grade may include at least one of a grade of the first information, a grade of the first mode, and a grade of the second mode.

Further, when the first information is shared under the control of the control unit 180, the mobile terminal 100 transmits information sharing the first information or the first information through the display unit 151 Can be displayed. In particular, the mobile terminal 100 may display the shared first information or information informing the sharing of the first information in the second area in which the second information is displayed.

In the sharing step S1150, the mobile terminal 100 copies all or a part of the first information under the control of the controller 180, and copies all or a part of the first information to the second area in which the second information is displayed You can paste it.

When the first application is executed in the first mode under the control of the control unit 180 in the sharing step S1150, the mobile terminal 100 transmits the content or data related to the first application or the first application 2 mode. Further, in the sharing step S1150, when the first and second applications are executed in the first and second modes under the control of the control unit 180, the mobile terminal 100 may transmit the content related to the first application, Data may be shared with the second mode as information related to the second application.

In the sharing step S1150, under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 determines whether the level of the first information indicates the sharing restriction level, the level of the first information is higher than the level of the second mode, 1 mode is higher than the grade of the second mode, and if the degree of sharing is higher than the grade of the second mode as a result of the determination, the first information may not be shared or limitedly shared.

For example, either the shareable class or the sharing class may be set as the first information. Therefore, when the shareability grade is set, the first information can be shared with the other mode, and when the share restriction level is set, the first information can not be shared with other modes or can be limitedly shared. At this time, the shareable grade or the share restriction level for the first information may be set by the user or the control unit 180, and may be set by the enterprise server 300 when the first information is information corresponding to the enterprise mode It is possible.

Further, the first information, the first mode, or the second mode may be set to any one of a plurality of classes having different degrees of security (classes 1 to 10, the larger the number is, the greater the degree of security). Therefore, in the case where the second mode class (for example, class 5) is higher than the class (for example, class 3) set in the first information or the class (for example, 1 information can not be shared with the second mode. On the other hand, when the grade (e.g., grade 1) of the second mode is equal to or lower than the grade (e.g., grade 3) set in the first information or the grade (e.g., grade 5) Or the first information may be shared with the second mode. In this case, the first information, the first mode, or the second mode may be set by the user or the control unit 180, and further, the enterprise mode or the corresponding information may be set by the enterprise server 300 .

Also, when the first information is personal information, the first information may be freely shared with the second mode, which is the business mode, and when the first information is the business information, the first information may not be shared with the second mode, It can be shared in limited ways.

The control unit 180 may share the whole or a part of the first information after (1) the authentication procedure, or (2) share only some information among the first information, have.

In addition, when the user wants to share the information corresponding to the specific mode as the restricted sharing, the control unit 180 allows the authentication process to be performed unconditionally, does not allow sharing itself, or has a security level of less than a certain level Share only some information, or share it after gaining the sharing permission of another user (for example, a user having a payment authority) of a certain rank or higher. For example, when business information is to be displayed while displaying business information and personal information.

Hereinafter, a process of sharing mode information will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

19 is a diagram for receiving a share command operation for the first information. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the document 1 is displayed in the first area 1910 as personal information and the document 2 is displayed in the second area 1920 as business information.
