System for providing hybrid user interfaces and method thereof

A subscriber terminal device, comprising:

• a memory configured to store computer-readable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the computer-readable instructions such that the one or more processors are configured to
• generate status information in correspondence with a status information request received from a remote application server,
• request at least one of a content resource and a user interface (UI) resource to a media storage based on a control command received from the remote application server,
• receive at least one of the content resource and the UI resource from the media storage in correspondence with the request, and
• render the at least one of the content resource and the UI resource received from the media storage,
• wherein the media storage is separate from the remote application server, and a combinative UI resource is formed by blending at least one of a content resource and a UI resource based on an interaction mode received from the remote application server,
• wherein the remote application server switches the interaction mode when a change occurs in at least one of status information and inferred customization service or a change occurs in resource specification information including at least one of a capacity, speed, version, and error presence or absence of at least one of the content resource and a UI resource requested by the subscriber terminal device,
• wherein the remote application server transmits an image-based combinative UI resource based on the interaction mode, divides a screen into a plurality of regions based on the status information, transmit the combinative UI resource blended based on the interaction mode corresponding to each of the divided regions, collects a change in at least one of the status information and the inferred customization service to determine the interaction mode, switches the interaction mode from the determination result of each of the divided regions, and transmits the combinative UI resource blended based on the switched interaction mode.

A method of providing hybrid user interfaces (UIs), the method comprising:

• collecting status information on at least one of a subscriber terminal device and a service environment;
• analyzing a user profile to infer a user's customization service;
• determining an interaction mode for provision of at least one of a control command, a content resource, and a UI resource to the subscriber terminal device based on at least one of the collected status information and the inferred customization service;
• generating the control command controlling a rendering of at least one of the content resource and the UI resource at the subscriber terminal device based on the determined interaction mode;
• transmitting a combinative UI resource formed by blending at least one of a content resource and a UI resource and the control command to the subscriber terminal device;
• and
• switching the interaction mode when a change occurs in at least one of status information and the inferred customization service or a change occurs in resource specification information including at least one of a capacity, speed, version, and error presence or absence of at least one of the content resource and a UI resource requested by the subscriber terminal device,
• wherein the control command enables the subscriber terminal device to request a media storage for at least one of the content resource and the UI resource, the media storage being separated from the remote application server,
• wherein the transmitting the combinative UI resource to the subscriber terminal device further comprises:
• transmitting an image-based combinative UI resource based on the determined interaction mode;
• dividing a screen into a plurality of regions based on the collected status information;
• transmitting the combinative UI resource blended based on the determined interaction mode corresponding to each of the divided regions;
• collecting a change in at least one of the status information and the inferred customization service to determine the interaction mode;
• switching the interaction mode from the determination result of each of the divided regions;
• and
• transmitting the combinative UI resource blended based on the switched interaction mode.
