Abstract

A method for generating and displaying a user-customized page and a mobile device thereof are provided. The method for processing a user-customized page in a mobile device includes collecting use information of a user with respect to the mobile device when a preset specific situation occurs, generating a user-customized page associated with the specific situation using the use information when the specific situation is terminated, and storing the generated user-customized page.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for controlling a mobile device, the method comprising:
displaying a screen of a first application while the mobile device is in an unlocked state and a stylus pen is disposed in an insertion hole of the mobile device, the insertion hole being configured to receive the stylus pen;
while the screen of the first application is displayed, detecting at least partial removal of the stylus pen from the insertion hole;
when the at least partial removal of the stylus pen is detected:
collecting information including a previously generated handwritten memo in associated with a second application acquired before detection of the at least partial removal of the stylus pen,
executing the second application with maintaining execution of the first application, and
displaying a screen of the second application that includes the previously generated handwritten memo;

while the screen of the second application is displayed, detecting at least partial insertion of the stylus pen into the insertion hole; and
when the at least partial insertion of the stylus pen is detected:
removing display of the screen of the second application, and
displaying the screen of the first application.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to detecting the removal of the stylus pen, collecting, by the at least one processor, use information with respect to the mobile device,
wherein the collecting of the use information further comprises collecting the use information if a situation where the mobile device communicates with a second external device occurs.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the collecting of the use information further comprises collecting at least one of information on an application, information on a function executed among functions of the application, data generated by the executed function, data received from the second external device by the executed function, or a preset environment value of the mobile device.

4. A mobile device comprising:
a stylus pen configured to be disposed in an insertion hole of the mobile device;
a display;
a memory;
a transceiver configured to communicate with a second external device; and
at least one processor configured to:
control the display to display a screen of a first application while the mobile device is in an unlocked state and the stylus pen is disposed in the insertion hole,
detect at least partial removal of the stylus pen from the insertion hole while the screen of the first application is displayed,
when the at least partial removal of the stylus pen is detected:
collect information including a previously generated handwritten memo in associated with a second application acquired before detection of the at least partial removal of the stylus pen, and
execute the second application with maintaining execution of the first application, and
control the display to display a screen of the second application that includes the previously generated handwritten memo, and

when the at least partial insertion of the stylus pen is detected:
control the display to remove display of the screen of the second application, and
control the display to display the screen of the first application.

5. The mobile device of claim 4 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to, in response to the detecting of the removal of the stylus pen from the insertion hole while the screen is displayed, collect use information with respect to the mobile device.

6. The mobile device of claim 4 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to collect at least one of information on an application, information on a function executed among functions of the application, data generated by the executed function, data received from the second external device by the executed function, or a preset environment value of the mobile device.

7. A non-transitory processor readable medium for storing a computer program of instructions configured to be readable by at least one processor for instructing the at least one processor to execute a computer process for performing the method as recited in claim 1 .
