Method for providing idle screen layer endowed with visual effect and method for providing idle screen by using the same

摘要

A method for displaying an idle screen, which is varied depending on a specific condition of a mobile communication terminal, for better graphic impressions. When the user of the mobile communication terminal travels between countries, and a border crossing is detected, a landmark image of a corresponding country is displayed on the idle screen. In addition, an animation effect is displayed on the idle screen so as to inform of the occurrence of the corresponding event. Accordingly, a novel graphic effect is provided to the user via a user interface having enhanced entertaining features.

1. A method for providing layers of a stand-by screen in a mobile communication terminal, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a background layer for displaying a background image corresponding to a time zone based on a current location of the mobile communication terminal; providing a landmark layer for displaying a landmark image on the stand-by screen while being superimposed upon the background image displayed by the background layer, wherein the landmark image indicates a landmark determined according to the current location of the mobile terminal from among predetermined landmarks and associated locations; and providing an event layer for displaying an animation data corresponding to the background image in order to show an occurrence of an event when the event has occurred in the mobile communication terminal, wherein the animation data is superimposed upon the stand-by screen; providing an operator icon layer for displaying a changed operator landmark image based on a mobile network code (MNC) within a locational information when an operator network has been changed; wherein each one of said background layer, landmark layer and event layer is configured for simultaneous display of an item in each of said background layer, landmark layer and event layer at a same time with at least another one of said background layer, landmark layer and event layer depending on a specific condition of the mobile communication terminal, and the operator landmark image corresponds to a new operator network in which said operator icon layer is configured for simultaneous display with at least another one of said background layer, landmark layer and event layer; and wherein display of the stand-by screen is dynamically modified by a controller to conform to a specifically changing geographic or environmental condition of the mobile communication terminal by detecting movement of the mobile communication terminal including border crossings between countries and between cities within a respective country and determining by the controller of the mobile communication terminal whether the detected movement to a current location warrants a change in display of the stand-by screen of the mobile terminal to display a current city where the mobile terminal is located.
