Method of running application and mobile communication terminal using the same
First Claim
1. A method of running an application in a mobile communication terminal, the method comprising:
- receiving, on a standby screen, input of a text-string;
analyzing the input text-string;
determining an application to run according to a result of the analysis;
setting, to the text-string, a parameter for running the determined application;
running the determined application using the set parameter, wherein determining the application, setting the parameter, and running the determined application are all performed upon a determination that input of the text-string is complete without requiring receipt of additional user input for running the determined application;
when it is determined that the text-string includes characters, checking whether an IDentification (ID) matching the text-string exists from among IDs registered in an Instant Messenger (IM); and
when it is determined that the ID matching the text-string exists, connecting an IM service using the matched ID.

Abstract
A method of running an application in a mobile communication terminal is disclosed. The method includes, if a predetermined key-value is input on a standby screen, analyzing the key-value to determine which application (or applications) to run; setting a parameter for running the application determined according to the key-value analysis result as the key-value; and running the application using the set parameter. A mobile communication terminal for running an application includes: a key input unit for receiving a predetermined key-value on a standby screen; a controller for if the key-value is input through the key input unit, analyzing the key-value to determine which application to run and setting a parameter for running the application determined according to the key-value analysis result as the key-value; and an application driver for running the application using the parameter set by the controller.
