TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING OPERABILITY OF AN APPLICATION
First Claim
1. A terminal that displays the operability of an application, the terminal comprising:
- a storage unit configured to store precondition information of the application relating to a usage environment;
a determination unit configured to compare the stored precondition information of the application to a current state information of the terminal, configured to determine whether the application is normally operable, and configured to apply a visual effect based on the determination to an icon corresponding to the application; and
a display unit configured to display the visually affected icon.

Abstract
Provided is a terminal that displays the operability of an application including: a storage unit storing precondition information of the application relating to usage environment; a determination unit comparing the stored precondition information of the application and the current state information of the terminal, determining whether the application is normally operable; applying a visual effect based on the determination to an icon corresponding to the application; and displaying the visually affected icon. Accordingly, a user can intuitively check the status of the application desired to be executed, whereby the user convenience can be improved.

19. A computer-implemented method to display the operability of an application, the method comprising:
-
storing, in a non-transitory storage, an operating environment precondition of the application; comparing, with a processor, a current operating environment of a terminal with the operating environment precondition to determine the operating environment precondition that is unsatisfied by the current operating environment; selecting a visual effect to represent the unsatisfied operating environment precondition; applying the visual effect to an icon corresponding to the application; and displaying, with processor, the visually affected icon. - View Dependent Claims (20)
