Abstract

A mobile device is provided. The mobile device includes a display unit, a sensor configured to sense user's touch done on a surface of the display unit in a disabled state of the display unit, a storage unit configured to store preset gesture information, a controller configured to enable the display unit when a user's touch operation matched with the gesture information is sensed, execute a wallet application, and display an execution screen, and a communication unit configured to transmit information for a selected payment option to an external apparatus when the payment option is selected on the execution screen and perform a payment. The payment is simply done.

Claims (40)

1. A mobile device comprising:

a fingerprint sensor;

a touch screen; and

a processor configured to:

in response to receiving a first user input while a black screen is displayed on the touch screen, compare the received first user input with gesture information stored in the mobile device and compare a fingerprint sensed by the fingerprint sensor with a predetermined fingerprint information stored in the mobile device,

based on the first user input matching the gesture information and the fingerprint matching the predetermined fingerprint information, execute a payment application corresponding to the received first user input, and

based on receiving a second user input for requesting to make a payment, transmit, to an external apparatus, information for making the payment while executing the payment application.

2. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the black screen is a screen in which any information is not displayed in the touch screen.

3. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the first user input is motion gesture.

4. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the first user input is a double touch.

5. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the second user input is a tagging on the mobile device to the external apparatus.

6. The mobile device of claim 5 , wherein the processor further configured to:

control the touch screen to display a message to perform a tagging on the mobile device to the external apparatus, and

receive the second user input tagging on the mobile device to the external apparatus.

7. The mobile device of claim 6 , wherein the processor further configured to:

based on the payment being completed, control the touch screen to display a payment completion message.

8. The mobile device of claim 7 , wherein the payment completion message includes a payment amount.

9. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the processor further configured to:

based on the first user input matching the gesture information and the fingerprint matching the predetermined fingerprint information, control the touch screen to display an execution screen of the payment application.

10. The mobile device of claim 9 , wherein the execution screen includes an image of representative card.

11. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the stored gesture information comprises a particular gesture corresponding to executing two predetermined actions comprising unlocking the mobile device and automatically executing the payment application, wherein in response to the particular gesture, an execution screen of the payment application is displayed directly after a lock screen is displayed.

12. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the stored gesture information comprises a predetermined gesture which is a command to execute two different actions by the mobile device.

13. The mobile device of claim 12 , wherein the two actions comprise a first action which is one of turning on the mobile device, waking up the mobile device, and unlocking the mobile device and a second action which is loading and executing the payment application,

wherein, in response to the predetermined gesture, the mobile device directly transitions from the black screen of the mobile device to a execution screen of the payment application.

14. The mobile device of claim 13 , wherein the second action further comprises displaying the execution screen of the payment application without any initial display of the payment application for a selection by the user.

15. A payment method of a mobile device, the method comprising:

in response to receiving a first user input while a black screen is displayed on a touch screen, comparing the received first user input with gesture information stored in the mobile device and comparing a fingerprint sensed by a fingerprint sensor with a predetermined fingerprint information stored in the mobile device;

based on the first user input matching the gesture information and the fingerprint matching the predetermined fingerprint information, executing a payment application corresponding to the received first user input; and

based on receiving a second user input for requesting to make a payment, transmitting, to an external apparatus, information for making the payment while executing the payment application.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the black screen is a screen in which any information is not displayed in the touch screen.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the first user input is motion gesture.

18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the first user input is a double touch.

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the second user input is a tagging on the mobile device to the external apparatus.

20. The method of claim 19 , further comprising:

displaying a message to perform a tagging on the mobile device to the external apparatus, and

receiving the second user input tagging on the mobile device to the external apparatus.

21. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the gesture information and the fingerprint are obtained in the first user input as part of a single operation.

22. The mobile device of claim 21 , wherein the single operation comprises a first part corresponding to one of the gesture information and the fingerprint and a second part corresponding to the other of the gesture information and the fingerprint.

23. The mobile device of claim 21 , wherein the second part follows the first part in a continuous manner.

24. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the first user input is a single gesture in which a plurality of points are simultaneously touched by two fingers on the touch screen, and the two fingers simultaneously move in different direction.
