`METHOD, SYSTEM, AND MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL FOR
`
`PERFORMING SPECIFIC FUNCTION WHEN MOBILE COMMUNICATION
`
`TERMINAL IS ACTIVATED
`
`CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
`
`[0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2011-
`
`0106839, filed on October 19, 2011, and all the benefits accruing therefrom under 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 119 which is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
`
`1.
`
`Field
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`[0002] The disclosure relates to a method, a system, and a mobile communication terminal
`
`for performing a specific function when a mobile communication terminal is activated, and
`
`more particularly to a method, a system, and a mobile communication terminal for
`
`performing various functions according to the number of presses or a press time of a button
`
`for switching from an inactive state to an active state.
`
`2. Description of the Related Art
`
`[0003] Recently, various terminals, for example, such as smart phones, mobile phones,
`
`personal digital assistants (PDAs), and web pads, having not only communication functions
`
`but also various other functions have come into wide use. These terminals have rapidly
`
`been generalized because not only can an environment identical or similar to a desktop
`
`computer be implemented anytime and anywhere on the above-described terminals, but they
`
`also include a telephone function.
`
`[0004] At present, in order to operate a corresponding function among various functions
`
`IPR2019-00611 Page 00008
`
`

`

`included in a terminal such as those described above, a certain operation should be performed
`
`in a state in which the terminal is in an active state, that is, in a state in which a display is
`
`turned on.
`
`In addition, in order to add a certain function, an interface or button for
`
`performing the function should be added to the terminal. For example, it is possible to
`
`transmit a rescue signal indicating an emergency or urgent situation by pressing an
`
`emergency button only when the emergency button for the urgent situation is separately
`
`added.
`
`[0005) On the other hand, users of the terminals described above perform operations of
`
`habitually taking out and activating the terminals on the move or in a standby state while
`
`carrying the terminals.
`
`SUMMARY
`
`[0006) Exemplary embodiments provide technology for enabling an advantageous
`
`function to be utilized with only a simple operation of pressing an activation button that is
`

`
`the appended claims that should be appropriately interpreted along with the full range of
`
`equivalents to which the claims are entitled.
`
`In the drawings, like reference numerals
`
`identify like or similar elements or functions through the several views.
`
`[0021] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be explained in
`
`detail with reference to the accompanying drawing so that those skilled in the art can easily
`
`practice the invention.
`
`[0022]
`
`[Exemplary Embodiments of Present Invention]
`
`[0023] The term "mobile communication terminal" used herein refers to a digital device
`
`that includes a memory means and a microprocessor with computing capability as in a mobile
`
`phone, a navigation system, a web pad, a PDA, a workstation, a personal computer (for
`
`example, a notebook computer or the like) as a digital device including wired/wireless
`
`communication functions or other functions. Although an example of the mobile
`
`communication terminal (for example, a mobile phone) will be described in part of this
`
`specification, the present invention is not limited thereto.
`
`[0024] The term "inactive state" used herein refers to a state m which the mobile
`
`communication terminal is communicable but a display screen is turned off. Even when the
`
`display screen is turned off, a predetermined function (for example, a music play function or
`
`the like) is operable. As described above, the term "inactive state" used herein refers to a
`
`concept encompassing states in which the display screen is turned off, regardless of whether
`
`or not the mobile communication terminal performs a predetermined operation. However, a
`
`state in which the mobile communication terminal is completely turned off is excluded.
`
`[0025] The term "active state" used herein refers to a state in which the display screen of
`
`the mobile communication terminal is turned on. Switching from the "inactive state" to the
`
`"active state" refers to switching of the display screen from the OFF state to the ON state,
`
`5
`
`IPR2019-00611 Page 00012
`
`

`

`regardless of information displayed on the display screen in the ON state. For example, the
`
`mobile communication terminal can be determined to be in the "active state" even when only
`
`a lock screen is displayed.
`
`[0026] Configuration of Mobile Communication Terminal
`
`[0027]
`
`FIG. 1
`
`is a diagram
`
`illustrating an external appearance of the mobile
`
`communication terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
`
`[0028] Referring to FIG. 1, the mobile communication terminal 100 according to this
`
`exemplary embodiment can include a display unit 110 and an activation button 120. The
`
`mobile communication terminal 100 can further include a camera 130.
`
`[0029] Although the display unit 110 is provided on the front side of a frame constituting
`
`the mobile communication terminal 100, the activation button 120 is provided on a lower part
`
`of the display unit 110, and the camera 130 is provided on an upper part of the display unit
`
`110 as illustrated in FIG. 1, other forms may be configured. For example, the display unit
`
`110 need not necessarily be formed on the entire surface of the mobile communication
`
`terminal 100. That is, the display unit 110 is only required to be formed on at least part of
`
`the mobile communication terminal 100, and the activation button 120 is only required to be
`
`formed on a part different from that of the display unit 110.
`
`In addition, the camera 130 can
`
`be formed on the other side on which the display unit 110 is not provided in the mobile
`
`communication terminal 100.
`
`[0030] The display unit 110 displays various information regarding operation states of the
`
`mobile communication terminal 100, and also displays an interface for a user's input if the
`
`mobile communication terminal 100 drives a touch screen.
`
`In general, if a state in which the
`
`user's operation on the mobile communication terminal 100 is absent continues for a
`
`predetermined period of time, the mobile communication terminal 100 is in the inactive state.
`
`The user's operation refers to an input through the interface displayed on the display unit 110,
`
`6
`
`IPR2019-00611 Page 00013
`
`

`

`an operation through the button 120, or an operation through a function key (for example, a
`
`volume control key or the like). A condition in which the inactive state is reached can be set
`
`by the user. For example, the condition can be set using a setting menu through the
`
`interface displayed on the display unit 110. On the other hand, the state can be switched to
`
`the inactive state by pressing another button (for example, an ON/OFF button) provided on
`
`the mobile communication terminal 100. For example, the mobile communication terminal
`
`100 can be completely turned off if the ON/OFF button is pressed for a long time when the
`
`mobile communication terminal 100 is in the active state, but the mobile communication
`
`terminal 100 can be in the inactive state as a communicable state in which a phone call can be
`
`received if the ON/OFF button is pressed for a short time.
`
`[0031) The activation button 120 is means for switching the mobile communication
`
`terminal 100 from the inactive state to the active state. That is, if the user presses the
`
`activation button 120 when the mobile communication terminal 100 is in the inactive state,
`
`switching to the active state is performed. FIG. 1 illustrates a state in which a lock screen is
`
`displayed on the display unit 110 after pressing the activation button 120 when the mobile
`
`communication terminal 100 is in the inactive state. However, the activation button 120 can
`
`function as means for another operation (for example, means for moving to a standby screen
`
`while a certain operation state is displayed on the display unit 110 or means for displaying a
`
`list of programs currently being operated).
`
`[0032) According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, if the user
`
`presses the activation button 120 when the mobile communication terminal 100 is in the
`
`inactive state, the mobile communication terminal 100 performs a predetermined operation
`
`instead of switching to the active state. When the mobile communication terminal 100 is in
`
`the inactive state, the user can set an operation to be performed by pressing the activation
`
`button 120.
`
`For example, an operation of the mobile communication terminal 100
`
`7
`
`IPR2019-00611 Page 00014
`
`

`

`connected to the activation button 120 can be set using a setting menu through the interface
`
`displayed on the display unit 110.
`
`In addition, according to an exemplary embodiment of
`
`the present invention, an operation which differs according to the number of presses or a
`
`press time of the activation button 120 can be performed when the mobile communication
`
`terminal 100 is in the inactive state. For example, a first operation can be set to be
`
`performed if the activation button 120 is pressed once, and a second operation can be set to
`
`be performed if the activation button 120 is continuously pressed three times.
`
`In addition,
`
`as another example, the first operation can be set to be performed if the activation button 120
`
`is pressed once for a short time, and the second operation can be set to be performed if the
`
`activation button 120 is pressed once for a long time. The mobile communication terminal
`
`120 can include a predetermined clock circuit or timer to calculate the cumulative number of
`
`continuous presses of the activation button 120 and measure a period of time for which the
`
`activation button 120 is pressed. For example, the number of presses is determined to be
`
`two if the activation button 120 is re-pressed within a threshold time after one press.
`
`If the
`
`activation button 120 is pressed for the threshold time or more, a long press of the activation
`
`button 120 can be determined. Operations capable of being performed by pressing the
`
`activation button 120 in the inactive state will be described later.
`
`[0033] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a sub-display
`
`unit 121 can be provided on the activation button 120.
`
`Information regarding an operation
`
`to be performed by pressing the activation button 120 can be displayed on the sub-display
`
`unit 121. Various types such as a shape, a character, a graphic, and color can be displayed.
`
`When the display type is the shape, a circle, a triangle, a rectangle, a hexagon, or the like can
`
`be displayed. For example, the circle can be displayed on the sub-display unit 121 when the
`
`first operation is set to be performed by pressing the activation button 120, and the triangle
`
`can be displayed on the sub-display unit 121 when the second operation is set to be
`
`8
`
`IPR2019-00611 Page 00015
`
`

`

`performed by pressing the activation button 120, and vice versa. A display type of the sub(cid:173)
`
`display unit 121 and a correspondence relationship between operations and displays can also
`
`be set by the user. For example, the user can select the first operation as the operation to be
`
`performed by pressing the activation button 120 from a setting menu and select the triangle as
`
`the di
