Abstract
An apparatus and method for automatically registering and executing a preferred function in a mobile communication terminal. The method includes registering a function and a configuration value and use character string/numeral string value for the function, to a one-touch execution object. The method also includes, when a one-touch input for the one-touch execution object is sensed, executing the function registered to the one-touch execution object, by the configuration value and use character string/numeral string value registered to the one-touch execution object.
Claims20
A method for registering and executing a preferred function in a mobile communication terminal comprising a controller, the method comprising:
- recording, by the controller, in a history, a series of user inputs associated with a function of an application program generated at a place where the mobile communication terminal is located, wherein the application program is one of a camera application, an audio or video player application, or a messaging application, and wherein the function is associated with at least one of a photographing mode of the camera application, a volume scale and a selection of content to play for the audio or video player application, and a text message for the messaging application;
- calculating, by the controller, from the history, a repetition number of the series of user inputs for the function of the application program based on the place;
- creating, by the controller, an object for executing the function of the application program if the repetition number is greater than a predetermined number;
- and
- in response to a selection of the object, by the controller, executing the function of the application program.
An apparatus capable of registering and executing a preferred function, the apparatus comprising:
- an input unit configured to receive a series of user inputs;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- record, in a history, a series of user inputs associated with a function of an application program generated at a place where a mobile communication terminal is located, wherein the application program is one of a camera application, an audio or video player application, or a messaging application, wherein the function is associated with at least one of a photographing mode of the camera application, a volume scale and a selection of content to play for the audio or video player application, and a text message for the messaging application;
- calculate, from the history, a repetition number of series of user inputs for the function of the application program based on the place;
- create, by the controller, an object for executing the function of the application program if the repetition number is greater than a predetermined number;
- and
- in response to a selection of the object, by the controller, execute the function of the application program.

- and
- in response to a selection of the object, by the controller, executing the function of the application program.
A mobile terminal capable of registering and executing a preferred function, the mobile terminal comprising:
- an input unit configured to receive a series of user inputs;
- a display unit configured to display a plurality of one-touch execution objects;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- record, in a history, a series of user inputs associated with a function of an application program generated at a place where the mobile terminal is located, wherein the application program is one of a camera application, an audio or video player application, or a messaging application, and wherein the function is associated with at least one of a photographing mode of the camera application, a volume scale and a selection of content to play for the audio or video player application, and a text message for the messaging application;
- calculate, from the history, a repetition number of the series of user inputs for the function of the application program based on the place;
- create, by the controller, an object for executing the function of the application program if the repetition number is greater than a predetermined number;
- and
- in response to a selection of the object, by the controller, execute the function of the application program.
