Abstract

A terminal apparatus is disclosed. The terminal apparatus includes a display; a communicator configured to receive an incoming call; a storage configured to store contact object information including a connecting application corresponding to caller identification information; and a controller configured to receive the incoming call including the caller identification information received through the communicator, execute the connecting application corresponding to the caller identification information, and display a search result related to the contact object information in a screen of the executed connecting application on the display. Accordingly, it is possible to determine a counterpart during connecting a call, and automatically execute the connecting application per contact information.

Claims

1. A method for displaying content of a terminal apparatus, the method comprising:

storing contact object information that includes a connecting application corresponding to caller identification information;

receiving an incoming call that includes the caller identification information;

executing the connecting application corresponding to the caller identification information; and

displaying a search result related to the contact object information on a screen of the connecting application.

2. The method according to claim 1,

wherein the caller identification information includes a telephone number, and

the displaying the search result comprises displaying the caller identification information together with the search result.

3. The method according to claim 1,

wherein the displaying the search result comprises displaying the search result corresponding to the contact object information such that it is differentiated from other items in the connecting application.

4. The method according to claim 1,

wherein the contact object information comprises at least one from among the connecting application corresponding to a contact object and a shortcut icon corresponding to the connecting application.

5. The method according to claim 1,

further comprising, in response to there being a plurality of connecting applications corresponding to the caller identification information, setting some of the plurality of connecting applications as connecting applications with priority and some of the plurality of connection applications as connecting applications without priority.

6. The method according to claim 1,

wherein, in response to there being a plurality of connecting applications corresponding to the caller identification information, the receiving the incoming call comprises displaying a shortcut icon corresponding to a connecting application with priority.

7. The method according to claim 1,

further comprising, in response to the incoming call being received, displaying an incoming call screen that includes the caller identification information corresponding to the incoming call.

8. The method according to claim 1,

wherein at least one from among a visual feedback, audio feedback, and tactile feedback is provided via the connecting application screen in response to a display of the search result.

9. The method according to claim 1,

further comprising, in response to a preset event occurring, displaying a curation content based on contact object information related to the preset event.

10. A terminal apparatus, comprising:

a display;

a communicator configured to receive an incoming call;

a storage configured to store contact object information including a connecting application corresponding to caller identification information; and

a controller configured to receive the incoming call including the caller identification information received through the communicator, execute the connecting application corresponding to the caller identification information, and display a search result related to the contact object information on a screen of the executed connecting application on the display.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10,

wherein the display comprises a touch screen, and

the controller controls to store the contact object information being input through the touch screen in the storage.

12. The apparatus according to claim 10,

wherein the controller displays the caller identification information together with the search result.

13. The apparatus according to claim 10,

wherein the controller displays the search result corresponding to the contact object information such that it is differentiated from other items in the connecting application.

14. The apparatus according to claim 10,

wherein the contact object information comprises at least one from among the connecting application corresponding to a contact object and a shortcut icon corresponding to the connecting application.

15. The apparatus according to claim 10,

wherein the controller, in response to there being a plurality of connecting applications corresponding to the caller identification information, displays a connecting application with priority on the display.

16. The apparatus according to claim 10,

wherein the controller, in response to there being a plurality of connecting applications corresponding to the caller identification information, displays a shortcut icon corresponding to a connecting application having priority on the display.

17. The apparatus according to claim 10,

wherein the controller, in response to the incoming call being received, displays an incoming call screen that includes the caller identification information corresponding to the incoming call.

18. The apparatus according to claim 17,

wherein a size area of the connecting application screen where the search result is displayed is smaller than a size area of the incoming call screen.

19. The apparatus according to claim 10,

wherein the controller changes the incoming call screen to the connecting application screen where the search result is displayed.

20. The apparatus according to claim 10,

wherein the controller, in response to a preset event occurring, displays a curation content based on contact object information related to the preset event.
