Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. .sctn.119(a) of Korean Patent Application filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Dec. 6, 2005 and assigned Serial No. 2006-0118428, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to portable phone. More particularly, the present invention relates to an idle mode screen image presentation apparatus and method for a mobile phone. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] A portable terminal is typically a cordless electronic device such as a mobile phone. Recent mobile phones are implemented with various functions in addition to basic voice communication. Such phones include a camera phone equipped with a camera module, a digital TV phone equipped with a Digital Multimedia Broadcast (DMB) or Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) module, and an MP3 phone equipped with an MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3) module. That is, the mobile phone has developed into a multipurpose electronic device. [0006] Typically, an advanced mobile phone with an advanced multimedia processing ability is provided with a liquid crystal display (LCD) to display multimedia data. Various screen display techniques have been researched and developed to effectively display information. That is, a screen display scheme is designed to support viewing multimedia data while simultaneously displaying information related to a basic task. For example, a mobile phone can be implemented to display a preset image while the mobile phone is in an idle state. The image of the idle screen view is downloaded from a website or taken by a built in camera. However, conventional mobile phones limit designs to screen images to be presented on the display by themselves. Although there has been a screen image design method in which the screen image is designed with a background image, text, and clock selected by a user, most of the conventional screen image design techniques do not facilitate the design of a dynamic screen image with various character images. [0007] Accordingly, there is a need for an improved screen image presentation apparatus and method for mobile phones. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0008] An aspect of exemplary embodiments of the present invention is to address at least the above problems and/or disadvantages and to provide at least the advantages described below. Accordingly, an aspect of exemplary embodiments of the present invention is to provide a screen image presentation apparatus and method for a mobile phone. [0009] It is another object of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention to provide a screen image presentation apparatus and method for a mobile phone that are capable of improving usability of mobile phone by using a character as an artificial intelligent agent. [0010] According to another object of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a screen image presentation apparatus and method for a mobile phone are provided. This facilitates the presentation of a character house with an artificial intelligent character, items, and background as a screen image. [0011] It is another object of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention to provide a screen image presentation apparatus and method for a mobile phone that are capable of making a presentation on a screen of the mobile phone dynamic by displaying an artificial intelligence-based character house, in which an intelligent character resides, as a screen image in a specific operation mode of the mobile phone. [0012] It is yet another object of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention to provide a screen image presentation apparatus and method for a mobile phone that are capable of providing an intelligent character with an artificial intelligence-based character house. The intelligent character reacts and adapts to a change in the conditions of the mobile phone in the form of an animation, sound, and text. [0013] It is another object of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention to provide a screen image presentation apparatus and method for a mobile phone that are capable of improving aesthetics of a screen image by means of a character house consisted of various visible items. [0014] It is another object of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention to provide a screen image presentation apparatus and method for a mobile phone that are capable of informing progress of time by means of a character house having a background which is changed according to various time periods within a day. [0015] According to another object of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a screen image presentation apparatus and method for a mobile phone is provided. This screen image presentation apparatus and method is capable of providing a character house as an animated screen image for a specific operation mode of a mobile phone. The character house includes a character, background, function items, decoration items and motion items. The character illustrates conditions and emotions reflecting states of the mobile phone in the form of an animation, sound, and text. The function items illustrate system information on the mobile phone. Decoration items improve aesthetics of the screen image and motion items move along respective movement lines in the screen house. [0016] It is another object of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention to provide a screen image presentation apparatus and method for a mobile phone that are capable of producing current time zone information by means of a character house including a background and items and especially an intelligent character which illustrates greeting behaviors with an animation, sound, and text in the time zone. [0017] It is yet another object of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention to provide a screen image presentation apparatus and method for a mobile phone that are capable of producing information on conditions and emotions representing states of a, mobile phone by means of character quotients, emoticons, and text expressions provided in a character house with a character, background, and items. [0018] It is still another object of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention to provide a screen image presentation apparatus and method for a mobile phone that are capable of presenting a character house with a character, background, and items, as an idle mode screen image of the mobile phone. [0019] It is another object of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention to provide a screen image presentation apparatus and method for a mobile phone that are capable of generating a character house with a character, background, and items, as a screen image for an idle mode of the mobile phone. [0020] According to another object of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a screen image presentation apparatus and method for a mobile phone are provided. This apparatus and method facilitates a user's ability to design a character house, by selecting a character, background, and items, to be used as a screen image in an idle mode of the mobile phone. [0021] It is another object of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention to provide a screen image presentation apparatus and method for a mobile phone that facilitates a user's ability to edit a character house consisting of a character, background, and items, by adding and deleting the items. The character house is used as a screen image for a specific operation mode of the mobile phone. Continue reading about Screen image presentation apparatus and method for mobile phone...
