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 (28)

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

based on receiving an incoming call that includes caller identification information, identifying contact object information relating to the caller identification information, that is stored in a storage of the terminal apparatus;

displaying the contact object information on a screen of a connecting application among a plurality of connecting applications while the incoming call is being received;

setting some of the plurality of connecting applications as connecting applications with a priority and some of the plurality of connection applications as connecting applications without the priority; and

displaying an icon corresponding to the connecting application with the priority in response to the plurality of connecting applications being related to the caller identification information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the caller identification information includes a telephone number, and

the displaying the contact object information comprises displaying the caller identification information together with the contact object information.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying the contact object information comprises displaying 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, based on the incoming call being received, displaying an incoming call screen that includes the caller identification information corresponding to the incoming call.

6. 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 based on a display of the contact object information.

7. 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.

8. A terminal apparatus, comprising:

a display;

a transceiver;

a storage that stores contact object information relating to caller identification information; and

a processor, based on receiving an incoming call including the caller identification information received through the transceiver, identifies the contact object information relating to the caller identification information, and displays the contact object information on a screen of a connecting application among a plurality of connecting applications while the incoming call is being received,

wherein the processor, based on there being the plurality of connecting applications related to the caller identification information, sets some of the plurality of the connecting applications with a priority and some of the plurality of connection applications as connecting applications without the priority, and

wherein the processor displays an icon corresponding to the connecting application with the priority on the display in response to the plurality of connecting applications being related to the caller identification information.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the display comprises a touch screen, and

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

10. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the processor displays the caller identification information together with the contact object information.

11. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the processor displays the contact object information such that it is differentiated from other items in the connecting application.

12. The apparatus according to claim 8 , 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.

13. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the processor, based on the incoming call being received, displays an incoming call screen that includes the caller identification information corresponding to the incoming call.

14. The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein a size area of the connecting application screen where the contact object information is displayed is smaller than a size area of the incoming call screen.

15. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the processor changes the incoming call screen to the connecting application screen where the contact object information is displayed.

16. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the processor, based on a preset event occurring, displays a curation content based on contact object information related to the preset event.
