5, the AC voltage 430 is applied to the transmission-side metal electrode 412-1 of the metal electrodes 412-1 to 412-4 formed on the transparent conductive film 411, Electric force lines 501 to 503 are formed between the side metal electrode 412-1 and the reception side metal electrode 412-2. The electric lines of force 501 to 503 are formed extending in the vertical direction (i.e., the z direction) of the touch screen 500.

The amount of electric force lines 501 to 503 blocked by the finger 510 is changed according to the distance of the user's finger 510 to the touch screen 500. That is, as the finger 510 approaches the touch screen 500, the influence of the finger 510 on the electric force lines 501 to 503 increases.

The influence exerted on the electric force lines 501 to 503 by the finger 510 in this way is the current applied to the current detecting portions 440-1 and 440-2 connected to the metal electrodes 412-1 and 412-2 And the current detectors 440-1 and 440-2 detect the change of the current and provide it to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) 450. Then, the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) 450 converts the amount of change of the current input in the form of an analog signal into a digital value, and provides the digital value to the touch time measuring unit 460.

Then, the touch time measuring unit 460 may determine that the touch screen 500 recognizes that the finger 510 is in proximity from the information on the current change amount provided from the analog-digital converter (ADC) 450 And measures the time at which the finger 510 remains within the touch recognition effective distance (i.e., 'd1' in FIG. 5). Accordingly, when the finger 510 remains within the proximity touch recognition effective distance (i.e., 'd1' in FIG. 5) for a predetermined time (for example, one second) It is possible to recognize that the user is performing a proximity touch or a direct touch operation according to the present invention. On the other hand, the touch time measurement unit 460 determines whether the finger 510 remains within the proximity touch recognition effective distance (i.e., 'd1' in FIG. 5) for a time shorter than a predetermined time It can be determined that the near touch or the direct touch operation according to the present invention is not performed.

If it is determined by the touch time measuring unit 460 that the finger 510 has a touch input in accordance with the proximity touch or the touch operation of the touch screen 500, the touch time measuring unit 460 Provides information on the touch input occurrence information and the amount of current change to the distance detector 470.

The distance detecting unit 460 detects a distance between the finger 510 and the touch screen 500 based on the information on the amount of current change supplied from the touch screen 500, That is, in the z direction).

Specifically, when the finger 510 is located at a distance d1 (for example, 30 mm) from the vertical direction (that is, z direction) of the touch panel 400 and a distance f2 (for example, 20 mm) (I.e., located between d1 and d2), the distance detecting unit 460 detects that the finger 510 is within the touch recognition effective distance at which the touch screen 500 starts to detect whether or not the external input medium is touched It is possible to provide a function corresponding to the proximity touch operation according to the present invention. Here, the proximity touch refers to a state where an input medium (e.g., a user's finger) is positioned within the touch recognition effective distance of the touch screen 500 in order to input a user command, Since the touch screen 500 is not directly touched, the input medium is distinguished from the direct touch operation in which the touch screen 500 is directly touched.

In addition, when the finger 510 is located at a distance d2 (for example, 20 mm) and distance d3 (for example, 10 mm) from the vertical direction (that is, z direction) of the touch screen 500 The distance detecting unit 460 may determine that the finger 510 is very close to the touch screen 500. In this case,

Further, if the finger 510 is located at a distance (i.e., located within d3) closer than d3 (for example, 10 mm) from the vertical upward direction (i.e., z direction) of the touch screen 500, 510 directly touches the surface of the touch screen 500, the distance detecting unit 460 determines that the finger 510 directly touches the touch screen 500 within an error range.

5, the touch operation of the finger 510 is divided into three levels according to the distance between the finger 510 and the touch screen 500. However, the touch operation may be performed more precisely in four or more steps Can be distinguished.

Next, the position detector 480 calculates the position on the touch screen 500 indicated by the finger 510, that is, the horizontal coordinates in the x and y directions on the touch screen 500, from the information on the current change amount . The y direction is a direction perpendicular to the x and z directions shown in Fig.

The vertical distance between the finger 510 and the touch screen 500 measured in this manner and the horizontal coordinate of the finger 510 on the touch panel 400 are provided to the controller 180. Accordingly, the controller 180 determines a command of the user according to the vertical distance and the horizontal coordinate, performs a control operation according to the user command, and displays a predetermined graphical user interface (GUI) on the display module 151 ).

FIG. 6 is a view for explaining the principle of position detection of an input medium using the touch screen of FIG.

6, when an AC voltage is applied from the AC voltage source to the transmission-side metal electrodes T 412-1 and 412-4 of the touch panel 400, the transmission-side metal electrodes T 412 -1, and 412-4 and the reception-side metal electrodes R 412-2 and 412-3, respectively.

When the finger 510 of the user is proximate to the touch panel 400 or directly touches the touch panel 400, a current change occurs in the metal electrodes 412-1 to 412-4. As described above, the position detecting unit 470 detects the amount of the current by the current detecting units 440-1 to 440-4, (I.e., xy coordinates) located on the display unit 400 and provides the detected coordinates to the control unit 180. Accordingly, the controller 180 recognizes the horizontal coordinate on the touch screen 500 that the finger 510 touches, performs a user command corresponding to the touch operation, and controls the display module 151 To provide a predetermined graphical user interface (GUI).

5 and 6, the touch time measuring unit 460, the distance detecting unit 470, and the position detecting unit 480 are separately classified according to their respective functions. However, the touch time measuring unit 460, The distance detection unit 470 and the position detection unit 480 may be formed in the control unit 180.
