Flicking can be done. Accordingly, the control unit 180 can display the dragged or flicked photo image 335 on the LCD 151 as a preview image. The control unit 180 may change the selected photo image to an idle screen image of the LCD 151. [

Here, the control unit 180 may provide an animation effect such that the selected photo image is displayed after being moved to the LCD 151. FIG.

The present invention may include a separate function key (hereinafter, referred to as a screen switching function key) for displaying the contents displayed on the TOLED 154 and the LCD 151 interchanged. The screen switching function key has a toggle function and can be configured as a software key (or execution icon) on one side of the screen of the TOLED 154 (e.g., an indicator area). It may also be provided as a hardware key.

When the screen switching function key is selected, the control unit 180 changes the icon shape of the screen switching function key, and at the same time, displays contents of the TOLED 154 and the LCD 151 alternately. That is, it may indicate that the screen switching function key is selected. Thereafter, when the screen switching function key is selected again, the controller 180 switches the screen switching function key to its original shape and displays the display contents of the TOLED 154 and the LCD 151 again.

The method of controlling the touch operation may be divided into a complete overlap type, a partially overlapped type, and a completely separated type according to the degree of overlapping of the LCD 151 and the TOLED 154. The mobile terminal having the transparent display according to the present invention requires different touch operations depending on the degree of overlap between the LCD 151 and the TOLED 154.

FIG. 45 is a diagram illustrating a display control method according to whether or not overlapped with each display, in which the LCD 151 and the TOLED 154 are overlapped with each other, (B), and a completely separated form (c), respectively.

FIGS. 46A to 46C are diagrams for explaining a method of controlling the touch operation in the form in which the respective displays are completely overlapped in FIG. 45. FIG.

Hereinafter, a touch operation detected in a fully overlapped form is divided into a touch (or proximity touch), a long touch, a long touch and drag, and the like.

When a touch from the outside (real touch) or proximity-touch is detected, the control unit 180 displays the display (e.g., a touch panel) on the upper surface of the touch point 341 as shown in FIG. 63A : TOLED 154 is overlapped on the upper surface of the LCD 151, the image list displayed on the TOLED 154 is selected or run.

The mobile terminal according to the present invention may include various sensors for performing various sensing functions, and may include a proximity sensor or a tactile sensor in the sensing unit 140 to sense proximity-touch.

63B, when the touch detected from the outside is a long touch (at least two seconds to three seconds or more), the controller 180 displays the touch point on the lower (lower, lower, inner) (For example, the LCD 151 is assumed to be superimposed on the lower surface of the TOLED 154). And the selected image is displayed on the TOLED 154. [

If a drag is detected with a long touch from the outside, the control unit 180 can display a preview screen of the image selected by the long touch on the TOLED 154 as shown in FIG. 46C.

The selection cursor (or selection bar) 342 of the LCD 151 is moved in accordance with the drag, and the image selected by the selection cursor 342 is displayed on the preview screen. Then, when the touch from the outside disappears, the first image selected by the long touch is displayed. The touch operation (long touch + drag) shown in FIG. 46C is the same when the slide (the operation of the proximity touch corresponding to the drag) is detected together with the long proximity touch (the proximity touch continuing for at least 2 seconds to 3 seconds or longer) Lt; / RTI >

When a touch operation other than those described above is detected, the controller 180 can operate in the same manner as a general touch control method.

The method of controlling the touch operation in the fully overlapping mode may be applied to all types of terminals having a single display such as a folder type having a single display, a flip type, a slide type, a rotation type (swivel, swing (Swing) type, bar type, watch type, etc.). In addition, it is possible to use a terminal of a type having a dual display (e.g., a closed type of a folder type terminal, a closed type of a flip type terminal, a closed type of a slide type terminal, a swivel type swing type terminal) A closed state, a closed state of a watch type terminal, and the like).

FIGS. 47A and 47B are diagrams for explaining a method of controlling a touch operation in a form in which a part of each display is overlapped in FIG. 45. FIG.

Hereinafter, a touch operation detected in a partially overlapped form is divided into a touch (or proximity touch), a long touch, a long touch and drag, and a touch and drag.

47A shows a pop-up selection window area of the TOLED 154. As shown in FIG. 47A, the control unit 180 detects a touch (real touch) or proximity-touch from the outside do. When the touch is detected, the touch position is detected. That is, it is detected whether the pop-up selection window area 345 displayed on the TOLED 154 is touched or the outer area 346 of the pop-up selection window is touched, and different processing operations are performed according to the detected touched position .

For example, when the touch is detected in the pop-up selection window area 345, the control unit 180 selects a specific object (e.g., a menu list, an execution icon, etc.) or performs the selected function. If the touch is detected in the outer region 346 of the pop-up selection window of the TOLED 154, the user can perform no action or close the pop-up selection window.

47B is a diagram showing an overlapping area 348 with the overlapped area 347. As shown in FIG. 47B, when the touch sensed from the outside is a long touch, the controller 180 determines that the sensed touch It is possible to perform other processing depending on whether it is detected in the non-overlap region 348 or in the overlap region 347. [

For example, if the touch is detected in the non-overlap region 348, the control unit 180 selects a specific object (e.g., a menu list, an execution icon, etc.) The touch operation control method in the fully overlapped form can be applied in the same manner.

Also, even when a slide of the proximity touch is detected with the long proximity touch from the outside, the processing is the same as the above-described touch operation (long touch + drag).

On the other hand, when a drag is detected together with a real touch from the outside, the control unit 180 controls the touch operation in a form in which the LCD 151 and the TOLED 154 are separated from each other The same can be applied. In addition, even when a slide of the proximity touch and the proximity touch is detected from the outside, a method of controlling the touch operation in the form in which the LCD 151 and the TOLED 154 are separated from each other can be equally applied.

As described above, a method of controlling the touch operation in the form in which the LCD 151 and a part of the TOLED 154 overlap is performed by a terminal having a dual display (e.g., an open state of a slide type terminal, a rotation type Swivel (swivel), swing (swing), open state of the terminal, etc.).

Hereinafter, a touch operation detected in a form in which the LCD 151 and the TOLED 154 are completely separated is described as a touch (or proximity touch), a long touch, and a long touch and drag.

The control unit 180 selects a specific object (e.g., a menu list, an execution icon, etc.) located at the corresponding touch point of the TOLED 154, .

If dragging is detected with an external touch (actual touch), the controller 180 can select or move the selected object (e.g., menu list, execution icon, etc.) have. For example, the copied content (or the content of the clipboard) is displayed on the TOLED 154 and pasted on the LCD 151 in the manner described above (touch + drag).

As another example, the object displayed on the TOLED 154 may be moved to the LCD 151 by the operation (touch + drag) as described above.

As another example, the web page of the LCD 151 may be enlarged (or reduced) by the operation (touch + drag) as described above and displayed on the TOLED 154. At this time, control of scrolling and the like is also possible.

When a touch operation other than the above-mentioned type is detected, the controller 180 can operate in the same manner as a general touch control method.

As described above, the 'method of controlling the touch operation in the form that the LCD 151 and the TOLED 154 are separated from each other' is a method of controlling a touch operation of a terminal having a dual display (for example, an open state of a folder type terminal, State, the open state of the bar type terminal, the open state of the watch type terminal, and the like).

The present invention can have separate vibration feedback or sound feedback according to the operation of the LCD 151 or the TOLED 154. [

(LCD 151 or TOLED 154) by setting the vibration feedback or the sound feedback of the LCD 151 or the TOLED 154 differently. For example, when the touch of the user (ordinary touch or long touch) is inputted when the LCD 151 and the TOLED 154 are completely overlapping (or partially overlapped), the controller 180 displays the type Controls the operation of the LCD 151 or the operation of the TOLED 154 according to the user's intention. And generates different vibration feedback (or sound feedback) when controlling the operation of the LCD 151 and controlling the operation of the TOLED 154.

In addition, the present invention can set the transparency, color, or brightness of the TOLED 154 according to the surrounding situation.

In order to solve the problem that the information displayed on the TOLED 154 is not clearly displayed because the background is seen through the TOLED 154 depending on the surrounding situation, the color or brightness of the TOLED 154 may be controlled can do.

Further, when a camera, a solar cell, or the like is disposed on the rear surface (inner side, lower side, lower side) of the TOLED 154, there is a problem that affects the operation of the camera or the solar cell depending on the information displayed on the TOLED 154 or transparency The transparency can be selectively controlled with respect to a specific area of the TOLED 154. [

As described above, the vibration (or sound) feedback related to the TOLED 154, the transparency, the brightness, and the color according to the surrounding conditions can be automatically performed by the control unit 180 according to a preset algorithm, So that the user can directly set it.

The present invention can operate the display such that the LCD 151 and the TOLED 154 operate as a main window (or a first window) and a subwindow (or a second window).

In order to facilitate understanding of the display method of the main / sub window, an Internet browsing method will be described as an example. The main / sub window can be applied to a terminal having a dual display (e.g., a folder type, a slide type, a rotation type (swivel or swing type), a watch type, etc.).

48 is a diagram illustrating an example of a web browsing method for explaining a method of operating a main / sub window in a mobile terminal according to the present invention.

48, a web page (e.g., a main web page) that is first opened by executing a browser is displayed on a main window (e.g., TOLED 154), and a web page Web pages, pop-up pages, etc. can be displayed in a subwindow (eg LCD).

The web pages displayed in the main window or the sub window can be displayed by changing the window according to the configuration option. If only one of the two displays provided in the terminal is used, the web pages displayed on the lower (lower, lower, (Eg, a main window) provided on the upper side (upper side, upper side, and outer side) of the terminal can display the web page displayed on the displayed display (eg, a subwindow). For example, when the terminal is closed, the web page displayed in the sub window can be moved to the main window and displayed.

49A to 49B are diagrams for illustrating a method of displaying a web page according to a method of operating a main / sub window in a mobile terminal according to the present invention.

When a specific text (or a specific object) is selected by the touch input (or proximity touch) of the user on the web page # 1 displayed on the main window (e.g., TOLED 154) as shown in FIG. 49A, 180 may display a web page (e.g., web page # 3) linked to the text in a subwindow (e.g., LCD 151).

If the specific text (or a specific object) displayed on the web page # 2 displayed in the sub window is selected as shown in FIG. 49B, the control unit 180 displays the web page linked to the text # 3) can be displayed in the subwindow.

The main / sub window can switch the display according to the user's selection, and the content displayed in each window can also be switched.

If a touch is detected with respect to a specific content (e.g., text, English word, image, moving picture, flash, etc.) displayed on the main window (e.g., TOLED 154) May display information on the content in a subwindow (e.g., the LCD 151). When the proximity distance of the detected proximity touch is increased, the sub window can be returned to its original state.

The opening and closing operations of the mobile terminal include at least two bodies such as a folder type mobile terminal, a flip type mobile terminal, a slide type mobile terminal, a rotation type (swivel, swing type) mobile terminal, Means to open or close the terminal with an operation such as folding, sliding, swiveling, or swinging the bodies of the terminals including the terminals.

50A and 50B are views for explaining a method of moving a display object according to opening and closing operations of a mobile terminal having a dual type transparent display according to the present invention.

When the mobile terminal including the TOLED 154 and the LCD 151 is closed, information (or objects) displayed on the respective displays overlap, and the overlapped information is displayed on one of the two displays. Hereinafter, the display on which the overlapped information is displayed will be referred to as a 'main display'.

In addition, when the terminal is opened, the control unit 180 may display some objects displayed on the main display (e.g., the LCD 151) on a sub display (e.g., TOLED 154).

As described above, the displayed objects are referred to as moving objects by moving the respective displays according to the opening and closing of the terminal. The moving object may include an indicator, a clock, a calendar, a desktop note, a multitasking menu, and input windows, as shown in Figure 68B (a).

50B, an object, such as a virtual input device (e.g., a keypad or a wheel), overlaps with the objects of the main display when displayed on the sub-display, Since there is a problem, it is preferable to display it on the main display. Also, since the input window is small in size and difficult to identify at a glance, it is displayed large on the sub display. The positions of the virtual input device and the input window may be displayed alternately.

51A and 51B are views for explaining a method of generating a display object according to an opening and closing operation of a mobile terminal having a dual type transparent display according to the present invention.

When a mobile terminal is opened as shown in FIG. 51A, a new object may be created in the subdisplay (e.g., TOLED 154). These objects are called new objects. The new object may not be displayed if the two displays are overlapping due to overlapping overlapping reasons such as a lack of display space, and may be added to the sub-display (e.g., TOLED 154) when the terminal is opened and the two displays are separated.

For example, as shown in FIG. 51B, detailed information (additional information) for specific information, a sub menu (or sub menu) for a specific list, or a multimedia player may be a new object.

The mobile terminal having the transparent display according to the present invention can display the information displayed on the display according to the user's view by rotating (or rotating) the opening / closing operation (or rotating operation of the terminal body).

FIGS. 52 to 55 are diagrams for explaining a method for changing the information display direction of a mobile terminal having a transparent display according to the present invention, each of which includes a folder type, a flip type, a rotation (swivel, swing) FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a mobile terminal of the present invention;

Each type of mobile terminal can rotate or invert the information displayed on the display in the same manner depending on the posture of the terminal.

For example, when the folder unit 410 or the flip unit 510 is opened, the controller 180 detects the opening of the folder unit 410. When the folder unit 410 is opened at a predetermined angle or more with the body unit 400, ) Can be rotated or inverted. The predetermined angle may be set differently according to the manufacturer or the design of the terminal.

If the mobile terminal includes a tilt sensor (or a gyro sensor), the direction of information displayed on at least one of the two displays may be changed according to the attitude of the terminal detected by the tilt sensor. For example, when the posture of the terminal in the vertical direction is changed to the horizontal direction, the terminal can also display the information by changing the display direction from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction. In addition, the mobile terminal of the present invention may include a separate software key (or a hardware key) for allowing the user to arbitrarily change the display direction of the information.

When a terminal is opened in a state where a lock function is set in a terminal in order to protect privacy or access to others, the controller 180 automatically displays a pop-up window for receiving a password, Release the lock.

If the terminal is closed again without the lock function being released, the controller 180 closes the pop-up window for receiving the password.

If the lock function is set to prevent unintended touch input or to protect the screen, the controller 180 automatically releases the lock without requiring a password input when the terminal is opened, and automatically locks the terminal when the terminal is closed You can reset the function.

[

As shown in FIG. 56 (a), it is assumed that the folder-type terminal is currently closed and the image editor is running in the TOLED 154.

The user refers to the image displayed on the LCD 151 that is viewed through the TOLED 154 and displays a specific image (e.g., a hat image) associated with the image (e.g., a snowman image) displayed on the LCD 151 via the image editor, Can be drawn (or edited). At this time, the drawing operation does not directly affect the image displayed on the LCD 151 while the user is drawing (editing) the image.

When the opening of the folder unit 410 is detected during the drawing operation, the controller 180 may apply the drawn image to the image displayed on the LCD 151. [ For example, the cap image is displayed on the head of the snowman image displayed on the LCD 151. [ When the folder unit 410 is closed, the application of the image can be canceled.

As described above, the user can repeat the application and release of the image by opening or closing the folder unit 410 during the drawing operation, and can check whether the drawing operation is proceeding correctly.

The mobile terminal according to the present invention can output information related to a plurality of functions through a dual display (e.g., TOLED 154 + LCD 151) as well as the functions described above. For example, it is possible to output navigation and digital multimedia broadcasting, and it is possible to display navigation information and web browser function, dual e-book function, display of original pictures during photo editing, automatic display of device list for transmission, TOLED (154) + LCD (151)) Web page display.

In addition, the mobile terminal according to the present invention controls the TOLED 154 according to an external environment such as ambient illuminance, surrounding color, time zone, and the like.

The mobile terminal 100 adjusts the background transparency of the TOLED 154 according to the ambient illuminance sensed through the illuminance sensor. For example, the mobile terminal 100 reduces the background transparency of the TOLED 154 when the ambient illuminance increases and increases the background transparency of the TOLED 154 when the ambient illuminance decreases.

The mobile terminal 100 senses the surrounding color through the color sensor and the image sensor and adjusts the brightness and the saturation of the corresponding color when the same color as the sensed surrounding color exists in the information object displayed on the TOLED 154. [ do.

In addition, the mobile terminal 100 adjusts the background transparency of the TOLED 154 for each time period. For example, the background transparency of the TOLED 154 is reduced during daylight hours where the ambient brightness is bright, and the background transparency of the TOLED 154 is increased during night time when the ambient brightness is dark.

Hereinafter, a method of displaying information on a transparent display according to a laying state of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

57 is an exemplary view showing a bar-shaped mobile terminal having a transparent display according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The mobile terminal 100 of the present invention is provided with a body having a window penetrating in the longitudinal direction and a TOLED 154 in the penetrating window. Here, since the TOLED 154 has transparency, information displayed on the screen can be confirmed in both directions (front and rear). That is, it can provide the same effect as using a dual display as one display.

In addition, the TOLED 154 may be implemented as a touch screen by superimposing on the touch pad, and may be used not only as a display device but also as an input device. Here, the touch pad may be disposed on the front surface and / or the rear surface of the TOLED 154.

The mobile terminal 100 may include a first keypad 131a disposed on one side of the body and a second keypad 131b disposed on the other side of the body.

The first and second keypads 131a and 131b may be disposed in parallel with the TOLED 154 and may be implemented as a dome key and / or a touchpad. In other words, the first and second keypads 131a and 131b may be implemented as dome keys, or at least one of the first and second keypads 131a and 131b may be implemented as a touchpad.

Also, the first and second keypads 131a and 131b may be implemented with different keypads. For example, the first keypad 131a disposed on the front surface of the mobile terminal 100 may be implemented as a keypad for a call configured with keys for inputting numbers, letters, symbols, and the like. The second keypad 131b disposed on the rear surface of the mobile terminal 100 may be embodied as a keypad for inputting control commands such as a direction key and a control command such as playback, stop, interval repeat, recording, and volume.

58 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention displays information on a transparent display. In this embodiment, a communication keypad is disposed on a front surface of a mobile terminal, and a keypad for multimedia is disposed on a rear surface of the mobile terminal.
