Abstract
A mobile terminal includes a memory configured to store a prior usage pattern of at least one application, the prior usage pattern being used to control when the at least one application is executed. The controller further includes a controller configured to apply at least one setting related to execution of the at least one application in accordance with the prior usage pattern or provide a menu for applying the at least one setting related to execution of the at least one application in accordance with the prior usage pattern and execute the at least one application after the at least one setting is applied.
Claims15
A mobile terminal comprising:
- a touch screen configured to display information and receive a user input;
- a memory configured to store an execution pattern of at least one application, the execution pattern used to control when the at least one application is executed;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- set a first setting of the mobile terminal;
- generate the execution pattern using status information of the mobile terminal;
- select a first application from the at least one application, the first application being as an application to be executed based on the execution pattern;
- change the first setting to a second setting based on the execution pattern, the second setting related to execution of the first application;
- maintain the second setting if the first application is executed according to the second setting;
- and
- change the second setting back to the first setting if the first application is not executed according to the second setting within a predetermined period of time.
A method for controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- setting a first setting of the mobile terminal;
- collecting status information of the mobile terminal when an application is executed;
- generating an execution pattern of at least one application by using the collected status information, the execution pattern used to control when the at least one application is executed;
- select a first application from the at least one application, the first application being an application to be executed based on the execution pattern;
- changing the first setting to a second setting based on the execution pattern, the second setting related to execution of the first application;
- maintaining the second setting if the first application is executed according to the second setting;
- and
- changing the second setting back to the first setting if the first application is not executed according to the second setting within a predetermined period of time.
A mobile terminal comprising:
- a touch screen configured to display information and receive a user input;
- a memory configured to store an execution pattern of at least one application, the execution pattern used to control when the at least one application is executed;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- identify an application of the at least one application according to the execution pattern, the application frequently executed at a specific time;
- change a setting related to execution of the identified application from a first setting to a second setting before the specific time
- receive content related to the identified application before the specific time;
- maintain the second setting if the identified application is executed according to the second setting;
- and
- change the setting from the second setting back to the first setting if the identified application is not executed according to the second setting within a predetermined period of time.
