As another example, whether to provide shopping information as a background image on some of the home screen pages may be determined or changed based on information received from an external server.

Furthermore, whether or not to provide shopping information as a background image on several home screen pages of the home screen page may be determined in advance by an operator or the like that provides an application according to the user interface according to the present invention. That is, whether or not to provide shopping information as a background image on some home screen pages among the home screen pages may be determined in advance from the time of installing the application according to the user interface according to the present invention.

Furthermore, the user interface according to the present invention may not necessarily include a home screen page on which user setting information is output, and at least one of whether a home screen page on which user setting information is output is present and the number of such home screen pages is determined. It can be changed based on the user's choice.

Meanwhile, the home screen page on which the user setting information is output may mean a home screen page capable of changing a background image of the home screen according to a user's selection. In the present specification, a background image of a home screen page on which user setting information is output may be referred to as a basic setting image. The basic setting image may be an image selected as a background image by the user or an image initially set on the mobile terminal.

On the home screen page where the user setting information is output, an application icon corresponding to at least one of the applications installed in the mobile terminal may be output according to the user's selection. Furthermore, the position of the application icon output on the home screen page on which the user setting information is output may be changed based on the user's selection.

In addition, at least one of the presence and the number of the home screen page on which the user setting information is output may be determined in advance by an operator or an advertiser that provides an application according to the user interface according to the present invention.

Meanwhile, unlike the home screen page on which the user setting information is output, the user interface according to the present invention may not change the background image of the home screen page on which the shopping information is output as the background image to an image selected by the user. That is, the background image of the home screen page on which shopping information is output may always be shopping information. As described above, the shopping information may be based on information received from an external server through the wireless communication unit 110.

Meanwhile, unlike the home screen page on which the user setting information is output, the application icon corresponding to the application installed in the mobile terminal may be limited on the home screen page on which the shopping information is output as the background image.

That is, the property of the home screen page on which the user setting information is output and the property of the home screen page on which the shopping information is output as a background image may be different from each other.

On the other hand, the shopping information described herein is not necessarily limited to specific product information for purchasing (or selling) a product, and may also include advertisement information. That is, advertisement information may be output as at least a part of the background image of the home screen page.

Meanwhile, the shopping information and the advertisement information may be output in various formats, and for example, may be output in at least one of an image, a video, a text, and a flash.

Hereinafter, referring to the above description, a method of providing shopping information on a home screen page through a user interface according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing shopping information in a user interface according to an exemplary embodiment. 3A, 3B, 3C, and 3D are conceptual views illustrating a method of providing shopping information on a home screen page.

Referring to FIG. 2, in the user interface according to the present invention, a step of outputting a first home screen page displaying shopping information as a background image is performed on a display unit of a mobile terminal (S210).

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3A, shopping information may be output as the background image 321 on the first home screen page 301. As illustrated, the shopping information may include information related to a product, for example, a product image, a price, a discount rate, a function icon for purchase, and the like.

Meanwhile, the home screen page according to the user interface according to the present invention, as well as the first home screen page 301 illustrated in FIG. 3A, includes a main area 320 in which shopping information or a basic setting image is displayed as a background image. can do. In the main area 320, a background image of a home screen page may be displayed. Meanwhile, the background image displayed on the main area 320 may be displayed on the home screen page as a whole instead of the main area 320.

In addition, the home screen page of the user interface according to the present invention may further include a fixed area 310 in which an icon corresponding to a specific application or function preset by the user's selection or the control unit 100 is fixedly displayed.

The icons 311, 312, 313, and 314 displayed in the basic area 310 switch from the currently output first home screen page 301 to another home screen page (302 of FIG. 3B and 303 of FIG. 3C). If so, it may be continuously output on the fixed region 310. In addition, the user interface according to the present invention may change at least one of the icons included in the fixed area 310 to another icon when one home screen page is switched to another home screen page.

In addition, the types of icons displayed on (or included in) the fixed area 310 may be different for each home screen page. In this case, whether an icon corresponding to a certain application or a function is included in the fixed area 310 of a home screen page may be determined based on a user's selection.

Furthermore, it is also possible that no icon is displayed in at least one fixed area 310 of the plurality of home screen pages. In this case, the fixed area 310 may not be visually distinguished from the user, and the background image may be displayed on the fixed area 310 as it is.

On the other hand, on the fixed area 310, the background image displayed on the main area 320 may be overlapped and displayed except for the area where the icon is displayed.

Meanwhile, the user interface according to the present invention may not necessarily visually display the boundary of the fixed area 310.

Furthermore, the home screen page according to the user interface according to the present invention may include an identification information area 330 indicating whether the home screen page currently displayed on the display corresponds to the home screen page of the plurality of home screen pages. . In the identification information area 330, information about a home screen page currently output may be provided through various types of visual images.

For example, referring to the identification information area 330 illustrated in FIG. 3A, it can be seen that the first home screen page 301 output to the display unit is a second home screen page of the four home screen pages. .

Meanwhile, when a touch is applied to the display unit while the home screen page, for example, the first home screen page 301 is output on the display unit, receiving a touch signal related to the touch is performed. It becomes (S220).

For example, the touch signal receiver 140 described above with reference to FIG. 1 may receive such a touch signal.

As such, when the touch signal is received, the user interface according to the present invention changes the information output on the display unit of the mobile terminal in response to the touch signal (S230).

More specifically, the controller 100 may output different information according to the touch method of the touch applied on the display unit.

For example, when the touch applied on the display unit corresponds to the first method, the controller 100 displays link information linked to shopping information that is being output as part of the background image of the first home screen page 301. It can be output on the part. Here, the link information may be information linked to shopping information output in an area corresponding to a point where a touch corresponding to the first method is applied. For example, when a specific product is output at a point where a touch corresponding to the first method is applied, the controller 100 may display the specific product based on the touch corresponding to the first method as illustrated in FIG. 3B. Detailed information of can be output.

Meanwhile, such link information may be provided through an application corresponding to a web browser function installed in the mobile terminal. That is, when such link information is output, the user interface according to the present invention or the controller of the mobile terminal may cause an application corresponding to a web browser function to be executed.

Meanwhile, in the user interface according to the present invention, the background image of the home screen page on which shopping information is output as a background image may be divided into a plurality of regions 321a, 321b, 321c, and 321d as illustrated in FIG. 3A. have. In this case, shopping information about different products (or advertisements) may be output to each of the plurality of regions 321a, 321b, 321c, and 321d. Therefore, in this case, different link information may be linked to each of the plurality of areas. That is, the link information output according to the touch corresponding to the first method may be information linked to an area corresponding to a point where a touch corresponding to the first method is applied among the plurality of areas.

For example, although not shown, when a touch is applied to the first manner with respect to the fourth region 321d, as shown in FIG. 3A, the fourth region 321d, as shown in FIG. 3B. Product information (or detailed information, link information, 340) for the product displayed in the) may be output. Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 3B, product information (or detailed information and link information) of a product may not be output in a home screen page format. That is, in this case, the product information may be provided through a separate application or through another screen provided separately from the home screen page in the user interface according to the present invention. Meanwhile, the detailed information of the product according to the present invention may include at least one of a detailed image and a detailed description of the product, and at least one function icon for setting or sharing the product information as the product of interest and at least one related to the purchase. The purchase function may include an icon. That is, the user interface according to the present invention provides information on a product on a home screen page, and further provides detailed information about the product, thereby consequently inducing a user to purchase a product using the home screen page. have.

Meanwhile, the touch corresponding to the first method may be short touch, long touch, or tap touch.

As another example, when the touch applied on the display unit corresponds to the second method, the control unit 100 displays the first home screen page 301 output on the display unit and the shopping output on the first home screen page. The second home screen page (see 303 of FIG. 3D) displaying the shopping information and other shopping information as a background image, or the third home screen page (see 302 of FIG. 3C) displaying the basic setting image as the background image. .

That is, in the user interface according to the present invention, when the applied touch corresponds to the second method, instead of the first home screen page 301, the second or third home screen pages 303 and 302 are displayed on the mobile terminal. It can be output on the part.

Meanwhile, whether a home screen page of the second or third home screen page is output on the display unit of the mobile terminal may be based on the order in which the plurality of home screen pages are arranged. For example, if there are three home screen pages, that is, the first, second, and third home screen pages, the controller 100 is based on the arrangement order of the first, second, and third home screen pages. According to the touch of the second method, the home screen page output to the display unit may be changed. Meanwhile, in the interface according to the present invention, the home screen page output to the display unit may be determined based on the touch direction of the touch corresponding to the second method.

For example, the touch corresponding to the second method may correspond to at least one of a touch corresponding to a drag, slide, flicking, and swipe method, and the controller 100 ) May determine the home screen page output to the display unit based on the direction of the touch corresponding to the second method.

Furthermore, the controller 100 may respond to the touch corresponding to the second method based on at least one of a direction of the touch corresponding to the second method and an arrangement order of the first, second, and third home screen pages. The home screen page to be output to the display may be determined.

For example, when the touch corresponding to the second method is a drag touch, the controller 100 may apply a third home screen page (as shown in FIG. 3C) when the drag touch is applied in a left direction in FIG. 3A. 302 may be output on the display unit. Alternatively, when the drag touch is applied in the right direction in FIG. 3A, the controller 100 may output the second home screen page 303 on the display unit as illustrated in FIG. 3D.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIGS. 3A, 3C, and 3D, although the background image displayed on the main area 320 of the home screen page is changed, the icon displayed on the fixed area 310 may not be changed. That is, the icon displayed in the fixed area 310 may always be the same regardless of whether the background image displayed in the main area 320 of the home screen page is changed. That is, the at least one preset function icon displayed in the fixed area 310 may be set to the other home screen at the same position as that displayed on the first home screen page, even if the first home screen page is switched to the other home screen page. May be displayed on the page continuously.

Meanwhile, the position of the fixed area 310 on the home screen page may be changed in various ways.

Furthermore, the type of the icon output to the fixed area 310 may not be always the same. That is, the types of icons displayed on the fixed area 310 may be different for each home screen page.

Therefore, the link information output based on the touch applied may be provided through an application corresponding to a web browser function, as shown in FIG. 7C (b). That is, the link information, that is, detailed information (or advertisement detail information) of the product may be output on the execution screen 750 of the application corresponding to the web browser function.

Hereinafter, a method of performing a function associated with shopping information using a background image will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 8A and 8B are conceptual views illustrating a method of providing additional functions in a user interface according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The user interface according to the present invention may output shopping information as a background image of a home screen page, and output an icon for providing additional functions related to the shopping information.

For example, as illustrated in (a) of FIG. 8A, each of the at least one area 821a, 821b, 821c, and 821d including different product information may have icon sets 850a corresponding to different functions. , 850b, 850c, and 850d may be output, respectively. Accordingly, the user can more intuitively select additional functions related to the product through these icon sets 850a, 850b, 850c, and 850d. As an example, when the messenger function icon 851a is selected in the icon set 850a output to the first area 821a, the control unit 100 may change the messenger function to the messenger function as illustrated in (b) of FIG. 8A. Corresponding screen information 860 may be output. Here, the screen information 860 corresponding to the messenger function may be an application corresponding to the messenger function. Although not shown, when there are a plurality of applications corresponding to the messenger function, the controller 100 may output screen information of any one application selected from a user or any one application set in advance.

Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 8A (c), the controller 100 may wirelessly transmit information of goods included in the first area 821a to at least one receiving terminal through a messenger function. The communication unit 110 may be controlled.

As another example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 8B, when the shopping cart function icon 852a is selected in the icon set 850a output to the first area 821a, the controller 100 may control the control unit 100 of FIG. 8B. As shown in (b), product information corresponding to the product included in the first area 821a may be added to the shopping cart. Here, the shopping cart function is a function of storing a product corresponding to the product information in a database of the memory unit 130 or an external server so that the product corresponding to the product information can be charged later. The product information may be output again.

On the other hand, as another example, when the shopping cart function icon 852a is selected in the icon set 850a output to the first area 821a, as shown in FIG. As illustrated in (c) of FIG. 8B, a screen corresponding to the shopping cart function may be directly output on the display unit.

Further, although not shown, as shown in (a) of FIG. 8B, when the product purchase function icon 853a is selected from the icon set 850a output to the first area 821a, the controller 180 May output purchase-related screen information so that the product output in the first area 821a can be directly purchased.

As described above, in the user interface according to the present invention, not only provide shopping information through a background image of a home screen page, but also an interface environment that enables to perform additional functions related to such shopping information more intuitively. Can be provided.

Hereinafter, the shopping information output on the home screen page will be described in more detail with the accompanying drawings. 9A, 9B, 9C, and 9D are conceptual views illustrating a method of providing shopping information on a home screen page.

The controller 100 may provide product information on a home screen page in various ways, as described below, based on shopping information received from an external server (or shopping information providing server).

As an example, referring to the size of an item included in a home screen page, as described above, the home screen page may include at least one item for arranging at least one product information. As shown in (a) of FIG. 9A, the home screen page may include nine items for arranging items 1 to 9 corresponding to product information. The size of these items may vary based on the importance of the product information to be placed in each item.

For example, in FIG. 9A (a), when the item of highest importance is item 1, the size of the item 710a in which item 1 is to be placed on the home screen page may be larger than the size of other items. Thus, as shown, item 1 may be displayed largest on the home screen page.

Also, as shown in (b) of FIG. 9A, depending on the importance of item 1, the size 710b of the item on which item 1 is to be placed may be larger than that shown in (a) of FIG. 9A.

Furthermore, as shown in (c) of FIG. 9A, when item 2 has a higher importance than item 1, the size of item 710c in which item 1 is placed is larger than the size of item 720c in which item 2 is placed. Can be small.

As such, the size of the item included in the home screen page may vary depending on the importance of the product information included in the home screen page. On the other hand, information related to the importance of the product information to be placed in the item included in the home screen page may be included in the shopping information received from an external server (or shopping information providing server).

As another example, different home screen pages may include different kinds of product information.

Here, what kind of product information is displayed on which home screen page may be determined based on shopping information received from an external server (or shopping information providing server) or may be determined by a user's selection.

For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 9B, the first home screen page 701 includes product information related to clothing, and as shown in (b) of FIG. 9B, the second home screen The page 702 includes product information related to shoes, and as shown in FIG. 9B (c), the third home screen page 703 may include product information related to jewelry.

In addition, as another example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 9C, the first home screen page 701 includes product information related to 'A shopping mall', and as shown in (b) of FIG. 9B. The second home screen page 702 includes product information related to 'B shopping mall', and as shown in FIG. 9B (c), the third home screen page 703 includes goods related to 'C shopping mall' Information may be included.

As such, product information corresponding to different categories or different shopping mall information is output on different home screen pages, so that the user may feel consistency in receiving product information through the home screen page.

As another example, the user interface according to the present invention may use a plurality of home screen pages by using a touch input to the identification information area 700 indicating which home screen page corresponds to which of the plurality of home screen pages. Summary information about product information included in each home screen page may be provided.

For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 9D, when a touch input is applied to the identification information area 700, the controller 100 may preview the region as shown in (b) of FIG. 9D. A preview image (or a thumbnail image) corresponding to at least one of the plurality of home screen pages may be output to 730.

The preview image output to the preview area 730 may correspond to a reduced image of the home screen page or an image corresponding to the representative product information among the product information included in the home screen page. In addition, the preview image may include a category, shopping mall information, event information, etc. corresponding to the product information included in the home screen page.

Meanwhile, as illustrated in (b) of FIG. 9D, the controller 100 may highlight the preview image 731 corresponding to the home screen page currently output to the display to be distinguished from other preview images.

Here, the highlighting of the preview image 731 may be performed by enlarging, reducing, highlighting, flickering, changing transparency, and highlighting a highlighting target.

In addition, as illustrated in (b) of FIG. 9D, when a preset touch input, for example, a drag or slide touch input moving in one direction is applied to the identification information area 700, the controller ( As shown in (c) of FIG. 9D, the home screen page 100 may be converted into another home screen page based on the degree to which the touch input is applied.

In this case, the controller 100 may control the display unit to highlight the preview image 732 corresponding to the other home screen page.

On the other hand, when the touch input is terminated, for example, when the finger is removed from the display unit, the controller 100 displays the preview image 432 that is currently highlighted, as shown in (d) of FIG. 9D. The corresponding home screen page may be output on the display unit.

Although not shown, according to the present invention, the controller 100 changes the position (or order of listing) of the at least one preview image included in the preview area based on a user's touch input, thereby You can change the layout order of the home screen pages depending on the location change.

In addition, the controller 100 may delete the home screen page corresponding to the preview image in response to a preset touch input (for example, a touch input for dragging the preview image by a preset length) with respect to the preview image. have.

In addition, the controller 100 may add the product information output in the image to the shopping cart in response to a preset touch input (for example, a long touch input) for the preview image.

As described above, in the user interface according to the present invention, the user can easily recognize the information on the product information included in the home screen page through the preview area.

Meanwhile, at least a part of the home screen page may include advertisement information received from an external server (or shopping information providing server). That is, advertisement information may be disposed on at least one of the at least one item included in the home screen page. Such advertisement information may be output in the form of an image or a video.

In addition, when an item on which such advertisement information is arranged is selected by a user, detailed information related to the advertisement information may be output on the display unit.

Hereinafter, the structure of the home screen page will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The user interface according to the present invention may have a plurality of home screen pages based on shopping information or user selection received from an external server (or shopping information providing server).

The plurality of home screen pages may have a form of one row and may have a matrix structure of at least one row and column.

For example, referring to FIG. 10A, a plurality of home screen pages may form a matrix structure corresponding to three rows and four columns (3 × 4). That is, in this case, 12 home screen pages may exist.

When the touch input is applied in the a direction from the sixth home screen page 816 currently output (the number of the home screen page is arbitrarily assigned in the order in which the home screen pages are listed), the controller 100 displays the first on the display unit. The second home screen page 812 adjacent to the home screen page 816 in the a direction may be output. When the touch input is applied in the b direction from the sixth home screen page 816 (the home screen page is arbitrarily assigned in the order in which the home screen pages are listed), the controller 100 applies the touch input to the display unit. The seventh home screen page 812 adjacent to the first home screen page 816 in the b direction may be output.

In addition, for example, after the second home screen page 812 is output in response to the touch input, when the touch input is applied in the right horizontal direction, the third home screen page 813 may be output to the display unit. Can be.

As described above, according to the present invention, the home screen page has a matrix structure, thereby increasing the diversity associated with switching the home screen page.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 10A, when a first home screen page 811 corresponding to a first property is output, a touch input for moving the first home screen page 811 in a column direction is provided. When applied, the first home screen page 811 is converted to a fifth home screen page 815, and the user is output on the first home screen page 811 on the fifth home screen page 815. The setting information and other user setting information may be output.

In addition, when a shopping input is output as a background image on a second home screen page 812 corresponding to a second property, a touch input for moving the second home screen page 812 in a column direction is applied. The second home screen page 812 is converted to a sixth home screen page 816, and shopping that is different from shopping information output on the second home screen page 812 on the sixth home screen page 816. Information may be included. As such, when the home screen pages form a plurality of columns in the matrix structure, different shopping information may be included in the home screen pages corresponding to the different columns.

Meanwhile, in the matrix structure having a plurality of home screen pages, at least one home screen page may not exist as shown in FIG. 10B. In this case, when the sixth home screen page 816 is output on the display unit and the touch input is applied in the 'a' direction in which the home screen page does not exist, the controller 100 corresponds to the 'a' direction. The second home screen page 812 or the fourth home screen page 814 adjacent to the sixth home screen page 816 may be output.

In addition, when there are a plurality of home screen pages that can be output in response to the touch input in the 'a' direction (for example, the second home screen page 812 or the fourth home screen page 814), Priority information related to which home screen page of the plurality of home screen pages is output may be included in shopping information received from an external server (or shopping information providing server).

Meanwhile, when the home screen page has a matrix structure, the user may be confused as to which home screen page the home screen page is currently output to the display unit. Accordingly, according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 10C, the matrix number of the currently output home screen page may be displayed on the home screen page.

As an example, identification information 831 of '1/1' representing one row and one column may be output on the first home screen page. The third home screen page 813 may output identification information '1/3' indicating one row and three columns.

Meanwhile, the method of representing the matrix number may be variously changed in addition to the method described above.

Meanwhile, when the home screen page is switched, the identification information may be displayed for a preset time and then the display may disappear on the display unit. In addition, the identification information may be output and removed on the display unit in response to a control command applied from the user.

Hereinafter, a method of providing an additional function for product information output on a home screen page will be described in more detail with the accompanying drawings. 11A, 11B, and 11C are conceptual views for explaining a method of providing an additional function for product information output on a home screen page.

For convenience of description, in FIG. 11A, 11B, and 11C, a case where one piece of product information is output on a home screen page will be described as an example.

First, as illustrated in FIG. 11A, a function icon 911 for setting a product corresponding to the product information as a product of interest may be output on the home screen page corresponding to the first attribute as the product of interest. have.

Meanwhile, the product information 910 output on the home screen page may include an image of a product, a price of a product, an introduction of a product, and the like.

When the function icon 911 is selected by the user, the controller 100 may set a product corresponding to the product information as the product of interest as illustrated in (c) of FIG. 11A. When the function icon 911 is selected, the product list 940 may be output to the display unit. The interest product list may include other interest products preset by the user in addition to the product.

Meanwhile, the 'interest product' is a product of interest to the user, and may be set by the user by selection. When the interest product is set as the product of interest, the interest product information is stored in the memory unit 480 or a database. Furthermore, it may be transmitted to an external server (or shopping information providing server).

On the other hand, as shown in (a) of FIG. 9A, when the product information is displayed on the home screen page, if any one point (see 'b') on the display unit is touched for a predetermined time, the control unit 100 ) May output at least one function icon corresponding to a function related to the product information, as shown in (b) of FIG. 11A.

For example, the controller 100 may output at least one sharing function icon 920 for sharing the product information with another mobile terminal or an external server.

Here, when any one of the at least one shared function icon 920 is selected, the controller 100 may control the wireless communication unit 110 to transmit product information using an application corresponding to the selected function icon. Can be.

In addition, the controller 100 may output at least one purchase function icon 930 related to the purchase of a product corresponding to the product information.

When the 'telephone order' icon is selected, the controller 100 controls the wireless communication unit 110 to send a call to a shopping mall that sells the product corresponding to the product information. When the 'general payment' icon is selected, the controller 100 ) May control the operation of the mobile terminal so that payment may be performed through the mobile terminal. When the 'shopping cart' icon is selected, the controller 100 stores the product information in the memory unit 480 or a database so that the product corresponding to the product information can be paid later, and corresponds to a shopping cart function. If the screen is output, the product information may be output again.

On the other hand, although not shown, when the product corresponding to the product information is sold out (sold out), the 'shopping cart' icon, 'update' requesting to update the product information corresponding to the product with product information for other products Icon can be changed. In addition, when a product corresponding to the product information is sold out, identification information indicating that the product corresponding to the product information is sold out may be output in at least one region of the product information.

Further, in this case, the 'shopping cart' icon may be changed to an icon for requesting to secure a stock of goods in addition to the 'update' icon.

In addition, as shown in (a) of FIG. 11B, a preset touch input (for example, short touch or tab touch) is applied to the product information 910 output on the home screen page. ) Is applied, the controller 100 may control the output unit 120 to output detailed information of the product corresponding to the product information, as shown in (b) of Figure 11b,

The detailed information may include at least one of a detailed image and a detailed description of a product as shown, at least one function icon for setting or sharing the product information as a product of interest and at least one purchase function related to a purchase. It can include an icon.

The detailed information may include at least one detailed item for selecting an option of a product to be purchased, such as the quantity, color, and size of the product, in order to order the product corresponding to the product information.

For example, after a user selects a color and a quantity through detailed items included in the detailed information shown in FIG. 11B (b), and selects a function icon corresponding to a telephone order or a general check function, the controller 100 The controller may control the wireless communication unit 110 to transmit the product information and the detailed information of the product corresponding to the detailed item selected by the user to an external server (or a shopping information providing server).

In addition, when event information is received with respect to the product information disposed on the home screen page, the controller 100 may overlap the received event information with the product information.

For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 11C, when event information is received for any item information, for example, item 1 951, the controller 100 may determine that FIG. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the display unit may be controlled such that the received event information (for example, 39% discount information) overlaps with respect to the item 1951.

This item 1 951 may be highlighted in response to receiving event information. For example, an image layer with any color may gradually overlap with item 1 951 while animating.

In addition, as shown in (c) of FIG. 11C, when event information is also received for the item 2 952, the control unit 100 remains event information (eg, 35 pieces) for the item 2 952. ) Can be overlapped.

Meanwhile, when event information is received for item 1 and item 2 at the same time, the controller 100 may overlap event information with respect to item 1 and item 2 sequentially or simultaneously. Meanwhile, when event information overlaps sequentially, the overlapping order may be based on priority information included in shopping information received from an external server (or shopping information providing server).

Hereinafter, a method for increasing shopping convenience on a home screen page will be described in more detail with the accompanying drawings. 12 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a method of providing a convenience function related to a shopping function on a home screen page.

The user interface according to an embodiment of the present invention may provide a convenience function so that a user may conveniently provide shopping on a home screen page.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 12A, the home screen page may include at least one of a search area 1010, a shopping cart function icon 1020, and a user page shortcut icon 1030.

For example, when a search word is input to the search area 1010, the controller 100 transmits the input search word to an external server (or a shopping information providing server) or a shopping mall server, and receives a search result corresponding to the input search word. The wireless communication unit 110 may be controlled to receive. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 12B, search results corresponding to the input search word may be output on the display unit.

In addition, when the user page shortcut icon 1030 is selected by the user, the controller 100 displays a user page on which the user's account information, shopping information, etc. are displayed, as shown in FIG. Can be output on the Meanwhile, the information included in the user page may be variously changed.

In addition, when the shopping cart function icon 1020 is selected by the user, the controller 100 displays at least one product information list stored in a separate database (or memory) for the user to pay later. Can be output to

Meanwhile, according to the present invention, in addition to the functions described with reference to FIG. 12, various functions may be added so that a user may conveniently shop through the home screen page.

Hereinafter, a method of utilizing a function icon for providing a shopping function on a home screen page will be described in more detail with the accompanying drawings. 13A, 13B, and 13C are conceptual views illustrating a method of using a function icon to provide a shopping function on a home screen page.

In the user interface according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 13A, in the state where shopping information is output as a background image on a home screen page, a touch input of a preset method is applied to the display unit. When a specific function icon is applied or when a specific function icon is selected, a plurality of function icons 1110, 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, and 1115 related to the shopping function are displayed on the display unit as shown in FIG. 13A (b). Can be. The plurality of function icons 1110, 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, and 1115 may have a dial-like shape in order to provide a fun effect.

Meanwhile, types of functions corresponding to a plurality of function icons may be changed and added in various ways.

Referring to the method of utilizing the plurality of function icons 1110, 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, and 1115 corresponding to the dial shape, the plurality of function icons may include a plurality of function icons as illustrated in FIG. 13B (b). It may be rotated or moved in response to a rotation gesture (or a rotation touch input) for any one of the function icons 1110, 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, and 1115 (compare with FIG. 13A (b)).

That is, the user places the function icon corresponding to the function to be used (for example, 'purchasing immediately' function in the desired product information as shown in (b) of FIG. 13B, and thus, as shown in (c) of FIG. 13B). As shown, the function may be activated.

In this case, screen information corresponding to the function may be output on the display unit.

Meanwhile, as illustrated in (b) of FIG. 13B, the control unit 100 may include a function icon corresponding to a specific function (for example, a “buy immediately” function) located in the specific product information (for example, item 3). Subsequently, when a preset touch input, for example, a long touch input, is applied to a function icon corresponding to the specific function, the specific function may be activated, which may include a touch input for moving a function icon. This is to distinguish touch input for selecting a specific function.

Meanwhile, as another example, referring to (b) of FIG. 13C, the controller 100 outputs a plurality of function icons 1110, 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, and 1115 corresponding to a dial shape, and then displays specific product information. For example, when item 2 is moved to a specific function icon, as shown in (c) of FIG. 13C, the item 2 corresponds to a function corresponding to the specific function icon (for example, an “interest product” icon). The screen information 1120 may be output.

Hereinafter, a method of providing shopping information using a lock screen will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 14 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a method of providing shopping information in a locked state.

When the lock state is executed, the user interface according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may output at least one product information on the lock screen output on the display unit in the lock state.

Here, the locked state is a state that restricts input of a user's control command to applications included in the mobile terminal. This is to prevent a control command not intended by a user from being input in a mobile terminal having a touch screen (or a display unit consisting of a touch screen) to activate or deactivate functions and applications of the mobile terminal. Therefore, in the locked state, the input of the control command of the user input through the touch screen and the other user input unit can be limited within the set range.

On the other hand, in the locked state, the input of the control command of the user is limited, but the functions of the mobile terminal and the operations of the applications that were operating before the locked state can be continued. The release state is a state in which a user's input of a control command to the mobile terminal is not restricted. Therefore, in the released state, the functions and applications of the mobile terminal are activated or deactivated according to the control command input by the user through the touch screen (or the display unit) or the user input unit.

Here, the locked state may be executed when the user's input is not detected for a time set for the touch screen (or display unit) and the other user input unit provided in the mobile terminal. The set time may be changed according to a user's setting.

In addition, the locked state may be executed when a user presses a special key (for example, a hold key) provided in the mobile terminal that is set in advance for the locked state.

The controller 100 may control the lock screen based on the shopping information received through the wireless communication unit 110.

As an example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 14, when the general lock screen 1210 in which the product information is not output is displayed, when shopping information for outputting the product information is received on the lock screen, As shown in FIG. 14B, product information may be output on the lock screen 1220.

That is, the controller 100 may output the product information on the lock screen only when some kind of event information is received from an external server (or shopping information providing server). The product information output on the lock screen may be related to a product in which an event to be recognized by the user with respect to at least one of a product of interest and a product in a shopping cart is generated.

Meanwhile, even when event information is not received, at least one product information may be continuously output on the lock screen.

Although not shown, at least one function icon may be output on the lock screen to perform an associated function for each of the at least one product information together with the at least one product information.

For example, the function corresponding to the at least one function icon may be 'add products of interest', 'add cart', 'purchase immediately', and 'phone order'.

On the other hand, even when the locked state is being executed, it is possible to exceptionally allow the reception of the control command for the at least one function icon.

As described above, when the shopping information is provided through the lock screen, the user is interested in the shopping information providing method using the mobile terminal and the user interface providing the shopping information using the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is possible to provide more information about the goods to be present.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing shopping through a telephone order in a user interface according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 16 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the shopping method described with reference to FIG. 15.

In the shopping method using the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, the step of outputting product information on the display unit is first performed (S310).

Here, the product information may be received through the wireless communication unit 110, may be provided through the Internet Explorer, or may be provided through a specific application. In addition, the product information may be information linked to the background image of the home screen page described above.

In addition, such product information may be provided from a specific shopping mall server, and may be provided through the external server (or shopping information providing server). The specific shopping mall server or external server (or shopping information providing server) provided with the product information may be selected by the user.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 16A, the product information may be information on a specific product and may include various information related to the product, such as an image, a price, and a description of the specific product.

Next, when the product information is output on the display unit, the step of inputting the order information for the product from the user proceeds (S320).

On the display unit together with the product information, at least one of a detail icon and an input window for selecting the detailed information about the product may be output. That is, the order information may be input by selecting at least one of the detailed information icons or inputting text information through the input window.

In addition, the order information may be input through a user input unit provided on the mobile terminal, or may be input using a user's voice through a microphone.

As shown in (b) of FIG. 16, the order information is detailed information about a product, for example, information that a user can consider when ordering a product, such as color, size, and quantity of the product. For example, by selecting a detail icon 401 for ordering a beige color and a detail icon 402 for ordering an 'M' size, the user may input order information.

On the other hand, after the process of inputting the order information through the user input unit or the microphone proceeds, the step of receiving a telephone order request for the purchase of the product proceeds (S330).

Here, the telephone order may be requested when the telephone order function icon 411 outputted on the display unit is selected, as shown in FIG. 16B.

Meanwhile, according to the present invention, it is also possible to purchase a product on a mobile terminal even if the product is not necessarily purchased through a telephone order.

In addition, the telephone order request may be made in various ways even if the telephone order function icon 411 is not necessarily used.

On the other hand, when the telephone order request is received in this way, a call is sent to a preset call center server and the order information is transmitted (S340).

The preset call center server is a server corresponding to a call center of a shopping mall that sells the product. When a call is made to the call center server and a call is performed, the user can perform an order and payment for the product. Can be connected with staff. In addition, in this case, the control unit 100 may transmit the input order information together to a call center server, so that the sales staff may recognize in advance which product the user wants to purchase.

Meanwhile, the order information may be transmitted directly from the mobile terminal to the call center server. Otherwise, the order information may be received from the mobile terminal at an external server (or a shopping information providing server) relaying the mobile terminal and the call center server. It is also possible to receive and forward it to the call center server. In this case, the external server (or shopping information providing server) may be a server for providing the product information to the mobile terminal.

Meanwhile, at least one of the transmission of the order information and the call connection with the call center server may be free of charge through mVoIP (mobile voice over Internet protocol). VoIP is a technology that converts and transmits voice into digital packets (the smallest unit of data transmission) over a network using IP addresses.

When the call connection with the call center server is made through mVoIP, such order information may be transmitted from the mobile terminal to the call center server side at the same time as the mVoIP call is transmitted or at a predetermined time difference.

Therefore, in the call center server side, the step of performing a payment using the product information received from the mobile terminal may be performed (S350).

Meanwhile, after the call is sent to the call center, the controller 100 may transmit the order information to the call center server only when the call is normally connected.

In addition, the control unit 100 may transmit the product information of the product to be purchased by the user together with the order information to the call center server, and further, at least one of identification information of the mobile terminal and user information of the mobile terminal. Can be sent.

That is, in this case, the user can simply complete the order without providing the personal information of the user to the sales staff individually.

Meanwhile, the identification information of the mobile terminal may be phone number information of the mobile terminal, and the user information of the mobile terminal may be information related to the user's identity such as name, shipping address information, shopping mall member information, and membership grade.

As described above, the shopping method using the mobile terminal and the user interface using the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention transmits the order information input through the mobile terminal to the call center server when the phone order, the user the order information This can reduce the hassle of having to communicate by voice.

Hereinafter, when a telephone order is performed, the method of providing order information to the user will be described in more detail with the accompanying drawings. 17 and 18 are conceptual views illustrating a shopping method using a mobile terminal and a method of providing order information in a user interface using a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, referring to FIG. 17, in a user interface according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when a call is sent to a call center server, screen information indicating that a call is being sent may be output on the display unit (FIG. 16). (C) of).

In this case, the control unit 100 as shown in (c) of Figure 17, so that the user can correctly confirm the order information, the order input from the user on the screen information output during the call connection to the call center Information 530 may be output.

Accordingly, the user may check the input order information once more through the screen information output through the display unit.

Meanwhile, the controller 100 may receive the completed order information through the call center server or the shopping information server described above when the order is completed through a telephone call with the call center. And, as shown in (d) of FIG. 18, the controller 100 displays the completed order information 640 on the display unit when the call connection with the call center server is terminated or when the order is completed even though the call is being connected. Can be output to Thus, the user can check in real time whether the order was correct.

Hereinafter, the screen information output to the display unit will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 19A and 19A are conceptual views illustrating a method for providing different screen information in some cases in a shopping method using a mobile terminal and a user interface using a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the purchase is completed for a specific product, the user interface according to the present invention may provide different screen information before the purchase is completed and screen information after the purchase is completed. That is, the controller 100 may output a function icon corresponding to a function required by the user before the purchase is completed and a function icon corresponding to the function required by the user after the purchase is completed according to whether the product is purchased.

For example, referring to (a) of FIG. 19A, before a purchase is completed with respect to the illustrated product, a function icon corresponding to 'telephone order', 'order', and 'add product of interest' functions may be displayed on the display unit. 711, 712, 713 may be output. 19 (b), after the purchase is completed for the illustrated product, the function icons 721 and 722 corresponding to the functions of 'delivery inquiry', 'product inquiry', and 'Q & A' are respectively displayed on the display unit. 723 may be output.

Accordingly, the user interface according to an embodiment of the present invention may provide a user interface that can easily access a function required by a user.

In addition, the user interface according to the present invention may provide different screen information according to the characteristics of the product.

For example, if the nature of the product is not directly available through 'buy immediately' or 'telephone order', but a product that requires consultation with an expert, an agent, or a seller, the product may be purchased immediately. Instead of a function icon that can be used, a function key related to a consultation reservation or a reservation inquiry may be output.

For example, when the type of product requires more detailed explanation or consultation, such as insurance, travel, language study product, etc., the 'pre-order' icon 711 is displayed on the display unit as shown in (b) of FIG. 19B. Can be output. In this case, when the 'pre-order' icon 711 is selected by the user, the control unit 100 directly sends a call to a call center server that can consult the product contents corresponding to the product, or makes a reservation to the call center server. An order request message can be sent. As such, when a call is sent to the call center server or a reservation order request message is transmitted, the controller 100 may transmit product information, which is a subject of the reservation, to the call center server. On the other hand, when the reservation order request message is transmitted to the call center server, a call can be received later from the call center server to the mobile terminal.

Hereinafter, a method of providing shopping information using a lock screen will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 20A and 20B are conceptual views illustrating a method of providing shopping information in a lock screen state in a user interface according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the lock state is executed, the user interface according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may output at least one product information on the lock screen output on the display unit in the lock state.

As an example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 20A, when shopping information for outputting product information on the lock screen is received while a general lock screen on which the product information is not displayed is displayed, FIG. As shown in (b), product information may be output on the lock screen.

The control unit 100 outputs the product information on the lock screen only when some kind of event information is received from an external server (or shopping information providing server), or otherwise, the lock screen may be identified to the user. In this case (eg, when lighting of the display unit is activated), product information may be output on the lock screen.

As such, when the product information is output on the lock screen, the control unit 100, in addition to the unlocking icon 813 for switching the lock state to the unlocked state, a phone order function icon that can directly order the product even in the locked state ( 811 may be output.

When the telephone order function icon 811 is selected by the user, the controller 100 sends a call to a preset call center server so that the goods output on the lock screen can be ordered through a call, The product information or order information is transmitted to the preset call center server.

On the other hand, as shown in the method of switching the locked state to the unlocked state, the unlocking icon 813 may be used, and various methods may exist without utilizing the unlocking icon 813.

In addition, as shown in (b) of FIG. 20B, product information requiring more detailed description or consultation, such as insurance, travel, language training products, etc. may be output on the lock screen. In this case, the 'reservation order' icon 811 may be output on the display unit. In this case, when the 'pre-order' icon 811 is selected by the user, the control unit 100 directly sends a call to a preset call center server that can consult the product contents corresponding to the product, or the call center server. The reservation order request message may be transmitted. As such, when the pre-order request message is transmitted to the call center server, a consultation call may be received later from the call center server to the mobile terminal.

Hereinafter, a method of outputting shopping information on a reception screen when a call (or a call) is received from a call center server will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. Is a conceptual view illustrating a shopping method using a mobile terminal and a method of providing shopping information on a reception screen in a user interface using a mobile terminal according to an embodiment.

In the shopping method using the mobile terminal and the user interface using the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 100, after the product is ordered in a manner other than a telephone order or a telephone order through the mobile terminal, the ordered product When a call is received from a preset call center server for, as shown in FIG. 21A, order information 910 for an ordered product may be output. The order information 910 may be received from the call center server together with the call received from the call center server. In addition, the order information 910 may be stored in the memory 160. When the call is received from the call center server, the control unit 100 may identify the identification information (for example, a phone number, etc.) of the call center server. Corresponding order information may be extracted from the memory 160 and output on the display unit.

In addition, as described above with reference to FIG. 19B, when a pre-order is requested for a specific product, the control unit 100 calls a call to confirm or confirm a reservation from a call center server related to the pre-ordered specific product. If received, as shown in FIG. 21B, the reservation information 930 may be output on the call reception screen.

Hereinafter, a method of providing shopping information together with a call record will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 22A, 22B, and 22C are conceptual views illustrating a method of providing shopping information together with a call log in a user interface according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the user interface according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, even when a call is received from the call center server, when a missed call is generated because the call is not connected, the controller 100 may provide information about the missed call, as shown in FIG. 22A. In addition, shopping information related to the call center server may be output, for example, product information, order information, or reservation information.

Here, the information on the missed call may include caller information, call time information, and the like.
