A method of displaying media content on a display screen of a communication device. The method includes receiving an indication of a state transition of a first Activity of an application program being executed on a processor of the communication device. The processor, in response to the indication, executes program code in order to monitor a memory state of the operating system so as to determine a user interface state associated with the first Activity. The processor further determines whether the first Activity is finishing based at least in part on the user interface state. Upon determining the first Activity is finishing, the processor causes the media content to be displayed upon further determining that a predetermined condition associated with the communication device exists.

A mobile terminal includes a touch screen display, a camera, a power button and an activation button for turning on the touch screen display. The mobile terminal has a first function and a second function to perform in response to user input and provides user settings for configuring at least one of the first and second functions such that the at least one of the first and second functions is performed along with turning on the touch screen display when pressing of the activation button is detected while the touch screen display is turned off. The mobile terminal is configured to perform the first and second functions depending upon length of pressing of the activation button in addition to turning on the touch screen display.

An activity-based overlay technique for displaying media on portable devices. The method includes painting, by a processor of a mobile device, a View container with media content to provide a View of the media content on a display of a mobile device. The processor invokes a backing activity behind the View on a z-axis of the display, the backing activity being configured to perform a monitoring function. An operating system of the mobile device causes the processor to delay execution of the backing activity, but not the painting of the View, subsequent to activation of a predefined button of a user interface of the mobile device.

A method for providing a content using the first screen of a portable communication terminal is provided. The method comprises the steps of: registering a first content as a content of interest; and providing a second content in the first screen displayed on a display unit when the communication terminal is switched from an inactive state to an active state. Here, the second content, which corresponds to a content related to the first content, is determined on the basis of the first content.

A method of displaying media content on a display screen of a communication device including a processor and a memory including program code, an application program, and a user application. The application program includes a plurality of activities associated with a plurality of display windows rendered by the display screen. The method includes receiving, at a monitoring process, status callbacks provided by an operating system of the device wherein the status callbacks relate to memory state. Values of at least one of the status callbacks are inspected wherein the at least one of the status callbacks includes a user interface (UI) state value. Based at least in part upon inspection of the UI state value, it is determined that a first activity is finishing. Media content is then displayed upon the display screen upon further determining that a predetermined condition associated with the communication device exists.

A mobile terminal includes a touch screen display, a camera, a power button and an activation button for turning on the touch screen display. The mobile terminal has a first function and a second function to perform in response to user input and provides user settings for configuring at least one of the first and second functions such that the at least one of the first and second functions is performed along with turning on the touch screen display when pressing of the activation button is detected while the touch screen display is turned off.

A user terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a content providing unit for displaying a text-type advertisement content on a lock screen according to an input of a user, a gaze tracking unit for acquiring, through a photographing device, a face image of the user and a vector indicating a direction in which a face of the user faces, and tracking a gaze of the user from the face image and the vector, so as to determine whether the user has read the text-type advertisement content, and a reward providing unit for providing a set reward when it is determined that the user has read the text-type advertisement content. A text-reading based reward-type advertisement service may be provided with the user terminal.

Disclosed is a system for establishing communication channel between a user and a resource. A data capturing module captures data corresponding to the user of the web service. A resource identification module identifies the resource based on comparison of one or more attribute of the resource with the data. A determination module determines at least one mode of a communication channel between the User and the resource by comparing a bandwidth of the communication channel available with one of the user and the resource. Examples of the communication channel comprises a video call, an audio call, an automated chat, and an email. A connection module connects the resource to the user via the at least one mode of the communication channel.

A multimedia information processing method, apparatus and system, and a computer storage medium are disclosed. The method includes that: a first operation is acquired, the first operation being configured to indicate to start a first Application (APP); a first request is triggered, the first request being configured to request for acquisition of first multimedia information associated with the first APP; the first multimedia information is received, the first multimedia information including prompting information in an interaction form; the first multimedia information is played, and the prompting information in the interaction form is displayed in the display region; and a second operation for the prompting information in the interaction form is acquired, and the first APP is started after an operation result is obtained.
