Description

How to run an application clone, a computer-readable recording medium, and a clone terminal that supports it

The present invention relates to a technology for smoothly watching various applications or video screens executed in a smart phone on a large-screen display device using wireless communication. In particular, the present invention is a mobile clone terminal in which a smart phone operating system (for example, Android) is implemented by duplicating application applications or media files (videos, photos, sound sources) and document files installed in a smart phone and transmitting them wirelessly. After installing and running, the present invention relates to a clone execution technology for controlling an application, a media file, a document file, etc. with a smartphone and outputting the execution screen to a large screen display device.

Recently, smartphones with various functions such as iPhones and Android phones are exploding rapidly. In order to display a screen obtained by playing a video on a smartphone on a large display device such as a TV or a monitor, the smartphone and the large display device must be connected using a digital / analog cable such as HDMI, USB, YPbPr, or YCbCr. In addition, smartphones generally do not have these functions as standard, so additional accessory devices must be purchased and attached to the smartphone.

On the other hand, in order to wirelessly output the screen output to the large-screen display device, an external interface device such as a dongle is connected to the large-screen display device, and the screen is displayed from the smartphone through short-range wireless communication (Bluetooth, IrDA, etc.) A device for receiving and outputting has been developed. However, the short-range wireless communication means available at a reasonable cost is too low to transmit a screen of sufficient frames per second. Accordingly, the present invention cannot be used in an application field having a fast moving screen such as a video or a game, and is used only for outputting a photo or document content to a large screen display device.

Therefore, a technology that can smoothly provide a screen of a smartphone to an external display device is currently a wired cable. However, connecting a smartphone and a display device using a wired cable is quite inconvenient, and therefore its application is considerably limited. Accordingly, a technique for smoothly displaying a screen of a smartphone on an external display device using a wireless communication technology has been desired.

An object of the present invention is to install and transmit a variety of media files (videos, photos, sound sources) and document files, including application applications installed on a smart phone in a mobile clone terminal implemented with a smart phone operating system (for example, Android) after wireless transmission And to execute, to control an application program, a media file, a document file, etc. with a smart phone, and to output a screen to a big screen display device so that all contents executed in the smart phone can be viewed on the big screen display device.

Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings will be described the present invention in more detail.

1 is a diagram illustrating the concept of an application clone execution system according to the present invention. The main terminal 100 is a device in which an application is to be originally installed and operated, and is preferably operated by a user. An embodiment of the main terminal 100 is an Android smartphone. The clone terminal 200 is a device connected to the large screen display 300, and is a medium for displaying a screen of an application executed in the main terminal 100 on the large screen display 300. In the present invention, the clone terminal 200 executes an application copy from the main terminal 100, thereby implementing a display in a state in which the data transmission burden of the wireless network is reduced.

The main terminal 100 is, for example, a smartphone, which executes various smart applications installed in itself, provides a game to a user, provides Internet browsing, provides a video playback screen, or provides a presentation environment such as PowerPoint. do. In the present invention, these are defined as "application" and the description proceeds. When the main terminal 100 executes such an operation, the main terminal 100 and the clone terminal 200 are connected through a wireless LAN (WiFi) so that the execution screen of the main terminal 100 is displayed on the large display device 300. Is displayed.

When a user inputs an operation (eg, a key or a touch) related to an application on the main terminal 100, they are provided to the clone terminal 200 through the WLAN. Similarly, various sensor values (eg, gyro sensor values) of the main terminal 100 and various control commands regarding the application are also provided to the clone terminal 200 through the WLAN. Application-specific controls are commands issued to control something in the application program. For example, a user can select a user from a pop-up menu, receive a specific image, or receive user personal information. It means to run.

Subsequently, various data according to the application execution result are provided to the main terminal 100, and for example, sound, vibration, etc. according to the game execution result can be considered. In the present invention, the application is duplicated from the main terminal 100 to the clone terminal 200 to execute the application in the clone terminal 200, the main terminal 100 is simply responsible for the user interface (UI). Accordingly, various data to be transmitted to the user as the application is executed are delivered to the main terminal 100, and these are reflected in the user interface. On the other hand, the message to be delivered to the user according to the program execution may be delivered from the clone terminal 200 to the main terminal 100.

2 is a block diagram showing a detailed configuration of an application clone execution system according to the present invention. The application clone execution system is composed of a main terminal 100 and a clone terminal 200. The main terminal 100 and the clone terminal 200 are connected to a wireless network (for example, a wireless LAN). In addition, the main terminal 100 and the clone terminal 200 has a common application execution platform (for example, Android platform), the application of the main terminal 100 is duplicated accordingly installed and executed in the clone terminal 200 It becomes possible.

Various applications 111 are installed in the main terminal 100. These applications 111 are written to enable clone execution according to the technical idea of the present invention, and have program codes for starting the clone control unit 112 at the time of clone execution. The main manager 113 of the main terminal 100 may determine whether a clone can be executed for a specific application based on the presence or absence of such a program code, and when the cloned executable application 111 is executed, the clone controller (112) is activated. Preferably, the program code for executing the clone control unit 112 is provided with the application 111 when the application 111 is installed in the main terminal 100. In addition, the fact that the clone execution is displayed on the display of the main terminal 100, the user can determine the self execution or clone execution.

The main terminal 100 and the clone terminal 200 are provided with clone connection frameworks 115 and 215 for executing application clones according to the present invention. The clone connection frameworks 115 and 215 preferably wirelessly connect the main terminal 100 and the clone terminal 200 to execute application clones, and allow various data transmission and reception between them. At this time, the pairing management unit 114 manages the connection between the application 111 and the clone application 211, that is, pairing (pairing). As will be described later, a plurality of main terminals 100 may be connected to the clone terminal 200, in which case the pairing management unit 114 performs session management therebetween.

When the application 111 is executed in the main terminal 100, the main manager 113 activates the clone controller 112 using the program code in the application 111. Subsequently, the executable file of the application 111 is transferred to the clone manager 214 of the clone terminal 200 through the clone connection frameworks 115 and 215. In the case of an Android application, the executable consists of an APK file (an Android package file). If you used a different platform, the executable is selected accordingly.

The clone management unit 214 receives the executable file from the main terminal 100 and installs and starts the clone terminal 200 so that the clone application 211 that duplicates the application 111 is executed in the clone terminal 200. After the clone operation between the main terminal 100 and the clone terminal 200 is finished, the clone management unit 214 removes the clone application 211 from the clone terminal 200, the space that can be executed other applications It is desirable to provide.

The clone manager 214 is controlled by the main manager 113 of the main terminal 100 to perform installation, removal, and execution of a specific application, and also preferably to perform application caching. In addition, the clone manager 214 receives the executable file from the main manager 113 and installs the clone application 211, and receives the identification information about the application from the main manager 113, and then receives it from the outside (app store). You can also download and install the installation file. This may be preferably applied to the case where the main terminal 100 and the clone terminal 200 exist remotely. In addition, a plurality of main terminals 100 may be connected to the clone terminal 200 as described below. In this case, the clone manager 214 cooperates with the pairing manager 114 to manage a plurality of sessions therebetween. Perform

The clone execution unit 216 performs the operation of actually installing, removing and executing the clone application 211 under the control of the clone management unit 214. The clone execution unit 216 is preferably configured to include a package manager and an activity manager of the Android platform.

Meanwhile, the clone controller 112 allows the main terminal 100 to control the clone application 211 being executed in the clone terminal 211. That is, various user operations, control commands, and data generated by the main terminal 100 in relation to the application are provided to the clone terminal 200 through the clone connection frameworks 115 and 215 and reflected in the clone application 211. Be sure to

Of these, the user operation input from the main terminal 100 is transmitted to the clone application 211 through the clone UI management unit 217, and control commands or various data (for example, sensor values) specific to the application are stored in the clone management unit 214. And it is preferably delivered to the clone application 211 through the clone execution unit 216. The clone application 211 reflects these and executes an operation. When the user operation according to the execution of the application is input from the main terminal 100, the clone control unit 112 provides the clone terminal 200 through the input management unit 116. The clone UI manager 217 receives the input event information and provides a user input as if provided in the clone terminal 200, and the clone application 211 performs an operation corresponding to the information. The clone UI management unit 217 is preferably configured to include a window manager of the Android platform.

In the clone terminal 200, the clone UI management unit 217 preferably emulates an input event as described above. The clone application 211 is executed by copying the executable file of the application 111, the main terminal 100 and the clone terminal 200 is completely different in the way that the user input is provided. That is, in the main terminal 100, a user manipulation input is provided through a key or a touch, while the clone terminal 200 is provided through the clone connection frameworks 115 and 215. Since the application 111 is written as a user operation input is provided through a key or a touch, the clone application 211 generated by duplicating the application 111 is expected to be provided with a user operation input through a key or a touch. Accordingly, it is difficult to recognize a user manipulation input provided through the clone connection frameworks 115 and 215. The clone terminal 200 makes the user's operation input as if a key input or a touch input is provided at the clone terminal 200 through the clone UI management unit 217. If the clone UI management unit 217 is not present, the clone application 211 cannot duplicate the executable file of the application 111 and must be prepared separately for the clone application.

Meanwhile, in the clone terminal 200, the clone application 211 preferably operates by using a cache. It is preferable that the clone terminal 200 be manufactured in a relatively small size so as to be portable. In this case, it is difficult to use a high performance processor for the clone terminal 200. Even if the clone terminal 200 is implemented by using a low specification processor by applying a cache to the clone application 211, the execution screen of the clone application 211 may be smoothly performed.

Meanwhile, various data according to the result of the execution of the clone application 211 may be provided to the main terminal 100. For example, it is preferable that a sound, vibration, etc. according to a game execution result are provided to the main terminal 100 so that an acoustic effect or vibration occurs in the main terminal 100. In the present invention, the application is executed in the clone terminal 200 through the application replication, and the main terminal 100 is responsible for the user interface (UI). As a result of the execution of the clone application 211, the clone adapter 212 catches various data to be fed back to the may terminal 100, and provides the data to the main terminal 100 via the clone connection frameworks 115 and 215. The notification management unit 117 of the main terminal 9100 receives this information and provides it to the clone control unit 112, which is reflected in the user interface. On the other hand, the message to be delivered to the user according to the program execution is also transmitted from the clone terminal 200 to the main terminal 100 in this manner.

On the other hand, it is preferable to set the synchronization between the main terminal 100 and the clone terminal 200. The application 111 is executed in the main terminal 100, and the clone application 211 is executed in the clone terminal 200, and the execution state must be synchronized between them. It is desirable to start by adjusting various data or states before the application is executed, and it is preferable that synchronization is continuously performed even during the execution of the application.

In addition, the address book, schedule information, or personal information of the main terminal 100 may be provided to the clone application 211 in order for the clone application 211 to function normally. In addition, considering the case of running a multimedia playback application, even if the multimedia playback application is duplicated and executed in the clone terminal 200, since the multimedia file still remains in the main terminal 100, the multimedia file is connected to the main terminal 100. It should be synchronized between the clone terminals 200. The multimedia file may be copied to the clone terminal 200 at a time, but then the synchronization may be effectively achieved in a streaming manner at that time. The synchronization manager 118 is responsible for such data synchronization.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of an application clone execution method according to the present invention. Since important technical matters have already been described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, only the flow will be described with reference to FIG. 3. The order of the process is not limited to that shown in FIG. 3, and some steps may be configured in reverse order within the scope of the object of the invention.

(S100) step: Start the main management program 113 in the main terminal (100). In order to execute the application clone according to the present invention, the main management program 113 must be executed in the main terminal 100.

Step S110: The main management program 113 of the main terminal 100 communicates with the clone management program 214 of the clone terminal 200 and the clone application 211 for the application 111 to the clone terminal 200. Check whether or not) is already installed.

Step S120: If the clone application 211 is already installed in the clone terminal 200, it is preferable to skip the subsequent installation process.

Step S130: The main management program 113 provides the executable file of the application 111 to the clone terminal 200. As described above, the main management program 113 may determine whether the application 111 supports clone execution by checking whether the application 111 has a clone related program code. For the application 111 supporting the execution of the clone, the main management program 113 provides an executable file (eg, an APK file) to the clone terminal 200.

(S140) step: clone terminal 200 installs the executable file. The clone management unit 214 provides the application execution file received from the main terminal 100 to the clone execution unit 216 to install the clone application in the clone terminal 200, thereby preparing the application for clone execution.

In operation S150, the clone terminal 200 executes the clone application 211 corresponding to the application 111. As a result, the clone application 211 is executed in the clone terminal 200 in response to the execution operation of the user's application 111 performed on the main terminal 100, and the screen is displayed on the large-screen display device 300.

Step S160: Set synchronization between the main terminal 100 and the clone terminal 200. Thus, a basic structure for mutual control and feedback between the main terminal 100 and the clone terminal 200 was prepared. As described above with reference to FIG. 2, synchronization for mutual control and feedback between the main terminal 100 and the clone terminal 200 is achieved through the clone connection frameworks 115 and 215. Thus, the clone terminal 200 operates as a device for outputting a screen to the large screen display 300 by executing the clone application 211, the main terminal 100 is responsible for the user interface (UI).

In operation S170, the main terminal 100 provides a control command and a user operation input related to the application to the clone terminal 200.

Step S180: The clone terminal 200 executes an operation on the clone application 211 in response to the control command and the user operation input.

In operation S190, the clone terminal 200 provides feedback of the execution result of the clone application 211 to the main terminal 100.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a process in more detail until the clone application 211 is executed in the clone terminal 200 according to the application clone execution method of the present invention. Since the basic concept of the process of the present invention has been described above with reference to FIG. 3, the description of FIG.

Step S200: The main terminal 100 starts the main management program 113 and the clone control program 112. In the present invention, the main management program 113 should be executed in the main terminal 100. The main management program 113 checks whether there is a clone related program code (including identifier) in the application 111 to determine whether the application 111 supports clone execution. The clone control program 112 is activated for the application 111 that supports clone execution.

Step S210: On the other hand, in the clone terminal 200, the clone management program 214, the clone execution program 216, the clone UI management program 217, and the clone adapter program 212 are activated. At this time, the clone management program 214 and the clone execution program 216 is a program for performing the installation and execution of the clone application 211, the clone UI management program 217 and the clone adapter program 212 is a clone application ( 211) is a program for processing user operation inputs and feeding back execution results.

Step S220: The main management program 113 provides the executable file of the application 111 to the clone terminal 200. Since the clone application 211 should be installed in the clone terminal 200 in order to be able to execute the application clone, the main management program 113 of the main terminal 100 provides an executable file to the clone terminal 200. In this case, when the application 111 is an Android application, the executable file includes an Android package file (APK file). As described above, the clone management program 214 may download and install an installation file from the outside (app store) after receiving identification information about the application from the main management program 113. It is preferable when the main terminal 100 and the clone terminal 200 exist at a remote location.

Step S230: The clone management program 214 of the clone terminal 200 installs the executable file provided by the main terminal 100 in the clone terminal 200. Since all contents for installing an Android application are included in the case of an APK file, the clone management program 214 may install the clone application 211 in the clone terminal 200 using the APK file.

Step S240: The clone management program 214 of the clone terminal 200 starts the clone application 211 according to the installation of the executable file. As a result, the clone application 211 is executed in the clone terminal 200 in response to the execution operation of the user's application 111 performed on the main terminal 100, and the screen is displayed on the large-screen display device 300. In order to show a smooth execution result in the low-end clone terminal 200, it is preferable to execute the clone application 211 using a cache.

Step S250: A network connection is established between the clone control program 112 of the main terminal 100 and the clone management program 214 and the clone execution program 216 of the clone terminal 200. A network connection is established between the clone control program 112 and the clone management program 214 to provide control commands and data relating to the application. A network connection is established between the clone control program 112, the clone UI management program 217, and the clone adapter program 212 to provide a user operation input and receive the execution result of the clone application 211. The connection thus formed is called the clone connection framework (115, 215), through which the synchronization between both terminals (100, 200) is made.

FIG. 5 illustrates an embodiment of a process in which the clone terminal 200 executes an operation in response to various control commands of an application and a user manipulation input from the main terminal 100 according to an application clone execution method of the present invention. It is a flow chart. Since the basic concept of this process has been described above with reference to FIG. 3, the description will be given with reference to FIG.

Step S300: First, the clone control program 112 in the main terminal 100 provides various control commands and data related to the application 111 to the clone terminal 200. Application-specific controls are commands issued to control something in the application program. For example, a user can select a user from a pop-up menu, receive a specific image, or receive user personal information. It means to run.

Step S310: The clone management program 214 provides the control command and data to the clone execution unit 216, and the clone execution program 216 provides this data to the clone application 211 again. Since the current application execution is performed in the clone application 211 of the clone terminal 200, the clone management program 214 and the clone execution program 216 clone the application-related control commands and data provided from the clone control program 112. Transfer to application 211.

Step S320: The clone application 211 executes an operation according to the application-related control commands and data received through the clone management program 214 and the clone execution program 216. Types and methods of operations are defined for each application.

The clone control program 112 provides the clone terminal 200 with a user manipulation input on the application manipulation screen of the main terminal 100. According to the application clone execution of the present invention, the clone terminal 200 actually executes the application, and the main terminal 100 controls the application execution and receives the result of the feedback. When a user inputs any operation (eg, a key or a touch) on the application operation screen of the main terminal 100, these matters are immediately controlled through the clone control program 112 and the clone UI management program 217 of the clone terminal 200. Is provided.

Step S340: The clone UI management program 217 provides a user operation input to the clone application 211. Through the emulation provided by the clone UI management program 217, the user manipulation input may be provided to the clone application 211 as if the clone terminal 200 was made.

In operation S350, the clone application 211 executes an operation according to a user operation input received from the clone UI management program 217. Types and methods of operations are defined for each application.

In operation S360, the result of the operation of the clone application 211 in the clone terminal 200 is the clone control program 112 of the main terminal 100 through the clone adapter program 212 and the notification management program 117. Provide feedback.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment in which a plurality of main terminals 100-1, 100-2, and 100-3 are used as clone terminals 200-1 and 200-2 in an application clone execution system of the present invention. Through this, it is possible to respond to the "N screen".

The user executes an application on the first display device 300-1 using the basic main terminal 100-1 and the clone terminal 200-1. The type of application is a presentation. The presentation content is displayed on the first display device 300-1 through the clone terminal 200-1, and the basic main terminal 100-1 is a control terminal for presentation. It is used.

In this state, if another user brings the additional main terminal 1 (100-2) near the clone terminal (200-1) and requests the join while executing the same application, the additional main terminal 1 (100-2) If only the clone control program 112 for the application (presentation) is started, the operation becomes possible. Since the clone management program 214 and the clone execution program 216 are already running in the clone terminal 200-1, the clone control program 112 of the additional main terminal 1 100-2 only needs to be connected.

On the other hand, assuming that the application is not installed in the additional main terminal 2 (100-3), it is difficult to join the additional main terminal 2 (100-3) to the current presentation application. In order to solve this problem, it is assumed that the identification information 116 of the application is displayed somewhere in the execution screen. 6 shows a QR code widely used at present. In the additional main terminal 2 (100-3) it is possible to download and install the clone control program 112 for the current application using the identification information 116, it is possible to join accordingly.

At this time, the clone control program 112 downloaded by the additional main terminal 2 (100-3) may have the same function as that used by the additional main terminal 1 (100-2), or may be implemented with a somewhat different function. have. That is, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the clone control program 112 driven by the additional main terminals 100-1 and 100-2 has a function of controlling the presentation, while the additional main terminal 2 100- 3) The clone control program 112 downloaded and installed has a function of responding to a survey.
