Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of displaying unified application information based on an open-type application store, and a computer readable recording medium therefor. [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a technology for displaying app information of an open application store accessible from a smart terminal (e.g., smart phone, smart pad, smart TV, smart box, etc.) in a unified manner. More specifically, the present invention reassembles the app information acquired from the app store accessible by the smart terminals, not the web page screen of the individual app store, in a unified manner, thereby providing the convenience of the smart terminal user, The present invention relates to a technique capable of displaying the app information of the open-type app store in a unified format anywhere.

As smart phones are spreading to mobile terminals and Google Android platform is distributed free of charge, smart terminals are emerging in various fields. That is, smart terminals are emerging in various fields such as smart pads, smart TVs, tablet computers, and smart boxes as well as smart phones.

Such a smart terminal can perform various additional functions by using network functions as well as existing functions of each device. Some of these additional functions are embedded in the smart terminal itself, but in general, users can use various functions by downloading and using various applications (applications) through the Internet or a mobile communication network.

Meanwhile, the operating system of smart terminals is divided into two types, iOS provided by Apple and Android provided by Google. Apple's iOS is a closed operating system that can only be used by Apple's smart devices (such as the iPhone and iPad), and Android powered by Google is an open operating system that can be used by anyone who gets only Google authentication.

The apps to be offered to smart handsets using Apple iOS are only available from Apple's App Store. Therefore, sellers who want to sell apps to Apple's smart terminals that are designed to use iOS will be asked to register their apps with Apple, and will only be able to register with Apple's App Store if they pass Apple's appraisal. Therefore, Apple's App Store is under Apple's control, so that users of all smart devices using Apple's App Store can receive the same application search and download service anytime, anywhere.

On the other hand, Android-style app store, which is an open operating system, operates an app store in Google but does not force it to go through only Google's app store. Therefore, they are operating the App Store in different ways, such as a manufacturer of a smart terminal or a mobile communication company. In other words, AppStore adopting open operating system is not managed under one unified system.

Therefore, in the Android system, the app store may be changed when the user changes the smart terminal to another manufacturer or changes the mobile communication company. In addition, some apps require direct access to the developer's home page, so the app store screen may vary, and the app store may be changed even if the user moves to another country while receiving the roaming service.

As such, when the App Store is changed, the service is provided in a completely different form from the existing application viewing and downloading environment, and thus the user is exposed to a completely unfamiliar use environment. Therefore, in the case of the user of the Android terminal, there is a problem that inconvenience arises because the user must adapt to the new environment in such cases.

On the other hand, in order to solve the problem of complicating the use of an open app, a plurality of communication companies and terminal manufacturers have joined together to present a Wholesale Application Community (hereinafter referred to as "WAC"). While these WACs can adopt different approaches for different countries, the WAC provides a standardized development environment for app developers around the world, while providing a variety of innovative apps for users of Android devices.

However, there are different ways to search and download apps for each Super App Store, so the aforementioned issues remain unresolved.

It should be noted that the drawings of the present invention attached hereto are provided for the purpose of helping understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the shape or the arrangement exemplified in the drawings of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The above and other features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a system configuration between a smart terminal and an open-type application store in order to explain the present invention.

1, a smart terminal 100 is illustrated as a smart terminal. In the following description, a smart terminal is assumed to be a smart phone, except for a case where a smart terminal must be distinguished from other terminals.

The smartphone 100 can access the mobile communication company application store server 220 via the network 10 via the mobile communication company server 210 and can also access a plurality of WAC store servers 300. At this time, the smartphone 100 can be connected through a mobile communication network or via the Internet using a wi-fi or wired network. Therefore, the network 10 should be construed as covering a wired / wireless network capable of communicating with a mobile communication network, a Wi-Fi, and the Internet.

Also, the mobile communication company's app store server 220 may be connected through the mobile communication company server 210 as shown in FIG. 1, or may be directly connected to the network 10 by the mobile communication company's application store server 220. The following description will be made in the form shown in Fig.

The mobile communication company server 210 provides the information to the mobile communication company application store 220 when the application search is requested from the specific smart phone 100 or the application download is requested through the network 10. [ Then, the mobile communication company's app store server 220 provides the service in response to the request. When the application search is requested, the mobile communication company's application store server 220 searches for the applications requested to be searched through the search engine, And provides the downloaded app data to the smartphone 100 through the mobile communication company server 210 when the download of the app is requested. In addition, the mobile communication company's app store server 220 can provide the initial screen information provided by the smartphone 100 at the initial connection in a predetermined form.

FIG. 2 is an internal block diagram of a smartphone providing an application store search and display according to the present invention.

2, the smartphone 100 includes a communication module 110, a control unit 101, a memory unit 102, a screen display unit 104, a touch input unit 105, and an external communication unit 106 . At this time, the smartphone may further include other components than those shown in FIG. 2, but FIG. 1 shows only the components necessary for explaining the present invention.

The communication module 110 includes an antenna ANT, a wireless communication unit 111, a modem unit 113, a microphone (MIC), and a speaker (SPK). The antenna ANT is manufactured in accordance with a band for transmitting / receiving a frequency signal required for communication by the smartphone 100, and is connected to the wireless communication unit 111.

The wireless communication unit 111 performs band up-conversion on data to be transmitted for voice communication and data communication with a base station or other wireless communication equipment, and performs band down conversion on the received data. That is, the wireless communication unit 111 increases baseband data for data transmission and transmits the baseband data to the corresponding network through the antenna ANT, receives data from the corresponding network through the antenna ANT, Thereby converting it into a baseband signal.

The modem unit 113 performs a series of data processing such as modulation, demodulation, encoding, and decoding of transmission / reception data. 2, the modem unit 113 includes a vocoder for performing modulation / demodulation and encoding / decoding of a voice signal. The modem unit 113 may receive an electrical voice signal from the microphone (MIC) and output it through the speaker SPK.

The control unit 101 performs overall control operations of a general smartphone, and particularly controls the search of the app store and the display of the retrieved results according to the present invention. When displaying the result retrieved from the application store server or receiving and displaying the data provided from the application store, control is performed to convert the data into a standardized form according to the present invention. A more detailed description of a method for converting to a standardized format and the like will be made with reference to the drawings described later.

The memory unit 102 may store control data necessary for the operation of the smart phone as a storage medium such as ROM or RAM. The memory unit 102 also includes an area for storing applications received from the application store according to the present invention and an area for storing application agent software (hereinafter referred to as "AAS") according to the present invention . In addition, the memory unit 102 may include an area for storing data according to a user's need.

The camera unit 103 receives the reflected light reflected from the subject and converts it into an electrical signal according to a user's request or a specific application, thereby obtaining still image or moving image data and providing the same to the control unit 101. In the present invention, the camera unit 103 is used to identify a user.

The screen display unit 104 is configured in the form of an LCD or an LED, and displays the status of the smart terminal in a waiting state and a process necessary for the operation of the smart terminal under the control of the controller 101. Also, the screen display unit 105 displays the process of accessing the app store and the information on the search result of the app according to the present invention.

The touch input unit 107 detects a touch operation of the user, converts the touch operation into a user input signal, and provides the user input signal to the control unit 101. For example, a series of operations related to a touchdown operation to the touch input unit 107 directly with the user's hand or with a touch pen, an operation to move from the touchdown to a touched state, and a touchup (release) operation And provides the collected information to the control unit 101.

The external communication unit 106 may be a component for connecting to the Internet via Wi-Fi communication or wire. That is, the external communication unit 106 transmits and receives data to and from the external network other than the mobile communication network in a preset manner.

FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are flow charts for controlling access to an app store in searching and downloading from a smartphone according to the present invention.

The control unit 101 of the smartphone 100 maintains the standby state in step S200. Here, the standby state means a state in which a specific input signal exists from the user or an event such as an incoming or outgoing call of a call is waited for.

If the event signal is received, the controller 101 proceeds to step S202 and checks whether the event is an App Store connection request. If it is determined in step S202 that the connection request is an application store access request, the control unit 101 proceeds to step S206. Otherwise, the control unit 101 proceeds to step S204 and performs a function corresponding to the event.

In step S206, the control unit 101 drives the AAS and controls the communication module 110 to access the app store. Then, the control unit 101 accesses one or more open-type app stores existing in the outside and collects data (information) about the apps managed by the users from the open app store.

Then, the control unit 101 proceeds to step S210 and determines whether a preference display format is set. Here, the preferred display format refers to a screen resolution, a font size, a font, and the category of the user's preferred application. This preference display format can be preset by the user, or can be automatically checked by the user every time the user accesses the App Store.

One example of a method of automatically checking a user and setting a preferred display format is to acquire a face image of a user from the camera unit 103 included in the smartphone 100. Then, the sex, age, etc. of the user are inferred from the obtained photograph information. The data thus displayed is matched by matching the pre-stored information with the pre-stored sex and age preference display methods.

For example, suppose that a user wants to display a high-quality image from the tenth to thirties, and sets the image quality to be in the normal image quality for the forty image, and the sharpness and the size of the character and the icon from the fifty image image. Let's assume that male characters like Gothic, Rolling, and so on, and women like pen writing.

In this case, if it is determined that the user is a woman in her twenties from the photograph obtained from the camera, the display data will be displayed in a high-quality pen frame. On the other hand, if it is determined from the photographs obtained from the camera that the user is a male in his 50's, the display data increases the sharpness, the size of the letters and icons is 1.5 times larger than the basic value, and the information is provided by Gothic or Roland .

In this way, a program for discriminating information according to the sex and age of the user should be stored in advance, and at the same time, the preference information according to each age group and sex should be stored in the memory unit 102.

3, the control unit 101 changes the display format in the AAS format when the preferred display format is not set as a result of the check in step S210. Here, the AAS display format is a format for displaying the same search method, search result, and data of the app provided by the app store, regardless of the access to any app store, and means a format defined by the smartphone 100 according to the technical idea of the present invention do. Indeed, one or more open app stores that manage their apps may have their own representation format, but the AAS display format does not follow such an individual format but refers to a uniform representation format defined by the smartphone 100.

This will be described with reference to the accompanying FIG. 6 and FIG. 7.

6] and [7] are examples of screens displayed on a screen display unit by processing information collected from an app store by accessing an app store according to the present invention.

6 is a screen for displaying respective categories when accessing an app store in the smartphone 100 or selecting a category on an initial screen provided from an app store server. In FIG. 6, a smart phone status line 500 indicates a connection signal strength, a current time, and a remaining battery level in a mobile communication network and a Wi-Fi network. In the smartphone status line 500, display formats provided for each manufacturer of each smartphone may be different from each other.

The smart phone status line 500 includes a search area 501 immediately below the smart phone status line 500. The search area 501 is an area provided for a user to directly input a keyword or the like. Under the display status notification line 510 and the display status notification line 510, which indicate that the currently displayed form is classified into categories, the respective category areas 511, 512, and 513 are provided below the search area 501 .

The screen configuration illustrated in FIG. 6 may be a form provided by a specific application store, but is an example of one unified display form proposed in the present invention. That is, when the category is displayed regardless of the connection to any open-type AppStore server, the smartphone control unit 101 displays it in the AAS format so that it is displayed uniformly in the same format as that of FIG.

7 illustrates a state displayed on the screen display unit 104 when a game category is selected.

The smartphone status line 500 and the search area 501 are the same at the top of [Fig. 7] as in Fig. 6. Below this, a display status notification line 510 for notifying the currently selected category is displayed. In the display status notification line 510, the currently selected category 'game' is indicated.

In the lower area, each app is displayed. As shown in FIG. 7, only one app may be displayed on one horizontal line, or two or more apps may be displayed on one horizontal line. Hereinafter, it is assumed that only one app is displayed on one horizontal line for convenience of explanation.

Each of the apps includes an icon area 521, a manufacturer area 522, a user rating area 523, and a price area 524, and may also be configured to display more information as needed. This is a design problem depending on how to construct the screen in AAS. That is, in the present invention, the app server data is displayed in the same form as in [FIG. 6] and [FIG. 7] regardless of the app-related data received from any app store server.

That is, in step S214, the information provided from the application store server is re-processed in the form of [Fig. 6] and [Fig. 7] to change the display format. In addition, if the user preferences are set in the preference display format, the order of the apps may be reset according to the preference of the user. For example, assuming that users prefer RPG games in the game, the RPG games should be placed at the top of the list. On the other hand, when the preference display format is set, the control unit 101 further processes the display target data in accordance with the set preference format. That is, it is displayed in the same format as in [FIG. 6] and [FIG. 7], but the resolution and the font are displayed in accordance with the taste set in advance by the user.

Next, in step S215, the control unit 101 preferably reflects the device characteristics of the smartphone 100 into the display format. That is, the control unit 101 preferably prepares information on the device characteristics of the smartphone 100, for example, the display resolution and the type of the user control unit, and further processes the display target data according to the device characteristics.

First, the control unit 101 preferably optimizes the display format in consideration of the display resolution of the smartphone 100. If the smartphone 100 has a high-resolution display, it is desirable to list a plurality of app items and display additional information (e.g., usage points, evaluation points) on the side. On the other hand, if the smartphone 100 is provided with a low-resolution display, it is desirable to minimize the number of app items or to simplify the display format to a text base.

The control unit 101 preferably optimizes the display format in consideration of the type of the user control unit employed in the smartphone 100. In particular, the control unit 101 reflects whether or not a pointing input device (e.g., a mouse or a touch screen) is provided . If a pointing input device is adopted, a graphical display format such as a general smart phone or a smart pad is constructed. On the other hand, when the pointing input device is not adopted, for example, in a method of controlling with a four-way key such as a remote control, it is preferable to construct a top-down menu arrangement conforming to the direction key operation or to implement it as a text base instead of a graphic icon. In the case of a smart TV or a smart box, there is a case in which a pointing input device is not employed but is controlled only by a direction key.

After changing the display format as described above, the process proceeds to step S216, and the changed data is displayed on the screen display unit 104 in the format of [FIG. 6] and [FIG. 7].

Thereafter, the controller 101 proceeds to step S218 and determines whether page movement is requested. Here, the page movement refers to a case where the categories shown in FIG. 6 are not displayed on one page, or when each of the applications is not displayed on one page as shown in FIG. 7, .

If page movement is requested, the controller 101 downloads the additional page data from the app store server in step S220, and then proceeds to step S210 and repeats the above-described process.

On the other hand, if page movement is not required, the control unit 101 proceeds to step S222 and determines whether detailed information of a specific application is requested. If it is determined in step S222 that the detailed information of the specific application is requested, the communication module 110 is controlled in step S224 to download the detailed information of the corresponding app from the application store servo, and the process is repeatedly performed in step S210 .

At this time, detailed information of a specific app is also displayed according to a preset format. For example, information such as an icon of a specific application, a user preference, a screen capture screen, a developer comment, a download count, and a review date are displayed in a predetermined order. In this way, the user can be provided with a familiar form at all times by displaying them in order according to a preset method.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S222 that the detailed information of the specific application is not requested, the control unit 101 proceeds to step S226 to check whether downloading of the specific application is requested. If it is determined in step S226 that the download of the specific application is requested, the control unit 101 proceeds to step S228 and controls the communication module 110 to request the app store server that manages the app, Install it immediately. The process of downloading and installing a specific app from a smart terminal corresponds to a known technology, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

Finally, if a particular app download is not required, it is checked whether the end of the routine is required. The end of the routine may be directly terminated by the user, or there may be no specific key input for a predetermined time. If termination is requested, the routine is terminated. On the other hand, if the termination is not required, the changed data display state of step S216 is maintained.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing correlations of respective engines when a controller of the smart terminal according to the present invention searches for and displays an app.

The user input detection engine 410 is an engine that detects a user's touch input and generates information according to a user's request. For example, it may be necessary to detect an input such as a user's touch and request an access to the App Store server, or to select a specific category when connected to the App Store server, And generates and outputs information about whether or not to request download. Thus, the output S1 of the user input detection engine 410 is provided to the App Store connection engine 420.

The application store connection engine 420 is activated when an application store connection is requested and provides a signal S4 requesting the data transmission / reception engine 440 to connect to the application store server at the time of connection request, And receives data (S5) provided from the App Store server.

In addition, when the App Store connection engine 420 is activated, the App Display Agent engine 430 is activated. If desired, the user input detection engine 410 may activate the App Display Agent engine 430 when an App Store connection is requested.

The app store access engine 420 receives the data S5 to be displayed on the screen display unit 104 from each open type app store server, and provides the received data to the app display agent engine 430 (S2). Then, the app display agent engine 430 re-processes the received data in accordance with a predetermined unified format as shown in [FIG. 6] and [FIG. 7] described above, converts the received data into display data, And provides it to the App Store connection engine 420.

Meanwhile, the app display agent engine 430 preferably reflects the device characteristics of the smart terminal in the display format. That is, the app display agent engine 430 preferably prepares information on the device characteristics of the smart terminal, for example, the display resolution and the type of the user control unit, and further processes the display target data according to the device characteristics.

First, the app display agent engine 430 preferably optimizes the display format in consideration of the display resolution of the smart terminal. If the smart terminal is equipped with a high-resolution display, it is preferable to list a plurality of app items and display additional information (e.g., usage points, evaluation points) on the side. On the other hand, if the smart terminal is equipped with a low-resolution display, it is desirable to minimize the number of items of the application or to simplify the display format to a text base.

Likewise, it is preferable that the app display agent engine 430 optimize the display format in consideration of the type of the user control unit, in particular, whether or not a pointing input device (e.g., a mouse, a touch screen) is provided. If a pointing input device is adopted, a graphical display format such as a general smart phone or a smart pad is constructed. On the other hand, when the pointing input device is not adopted, for example, in a method of controlling with a four-way key such as a remote control, it is preferable to construct a menu arrangement of a top-down type according to the operation of the direction key or to implement it as a text base instead of a graphic icon. In the case of a smart TV or a smart box, there is a case in which a pointing input device is not employed but is controlled only by a direction key.

Accordingly, the App Store connection engine 420 provides the re-processed information S3 to the screen display engine 450 in the app display agent engine 430, and displays the unified UX in the screen display unit 104. [

In the above-described [FIG. 5], the case of automatically detecting the preference display format of the user and automatically selecting the preference display format automatically according to gender, age, etc. has not been described. However, it is possible to configure the camera control engine and the user classification engine to further distinguish the sex and age of the user.

The present invention can also be embodied in the form of computer readable code on a computer readable recording medium. At this time, the computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording apparatuses in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored.

Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, an optical data storage, and the like, and may be implemented in the form of a carrier wave . The computer-readable recording medium can also be stored and executed by a computer-readable code in a distributed manner on a networked computer system. And functional programs, codes, and code segments for implementing the present invention can be easily deduced by programmers skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed in the present specification and drawings, and although specific terms have been used, they have been used only in a general sense to easily describe the technical contents of the present invention and to facilitate understanding of the invention.
