Abstract
Disclosed are a smart device capable of multi-tasking control, capable of controlling a multi-tasking program while a main program screen is viewed, and a control method therefor. The smart device capable of multi-tasking control and the control method therefor can control a second program without being disturbed by the use of a first application and have the advantages of easily controlling a second application due to a wide input range since a user uses the entire screen, and enabling the user to control two applications, as necessary, since the overlay state of a first screen can be changed using only a simple input signal.

A smart device that may perform multitasking control, the smart device comprising:
- an input unit receiving information according to a users key or menu manipulation;
- a controller running an application according to the information received through the input unit;
- and
- a display unit receiving a control signal from the controller to display on a screen, wherein when a second application is run while a first application is running, the controller displays a second application control screen to be overlaid on a first application running screen, splits the second application control screen into a first screen and a second screen, changes the first screen to be transparent, displays the second screen on a portion of the first application running screen to display state information on the second application, and receives an input signal through the first screen or the second screen to enable control of the second application.
A method for controlling a smart device that may perform multitasking control, the method comprising:
- receiving an input signal from an input unit to display a second application control screen to be overlaid on a first application running screen;
- splitting the second application control screen into a first screen and a second screen;
- changing the first screen to be transparent and displaying the second screen on a portion of the first application running, screen to display state information on the second application;
- receiving an input signal through the first screen or the second screen;
- and
- performing control according to the input signal.
