2 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the proximity depth of the proximity sensor.

As shown in FIG. 2, when a pointer such as a finger of a user approaches the touch screen, the proximity sensor disposed in or near the touch screen senses the proximity sensor and outputs a proximity signal.

The proximity sensor may be configured to output different proximity signals according to a distance between the proximity-touched pointer and the touch screen (hereinafter referred to as "proximity depth").

A distance at which the proximity signal is output when the pointer approaches the touch screen is referred to as a detection distance. In short, by using a plurality of proximity sensors having different detection distances, the proximity signals output from the proximity sensors are compared, .

In FIG. 2, for example, a cross section of a touch screen having proximity sensors capable of sensing three proximity depths is illustrated. Of course, proximity sensors that detect less than three or more than four proximity depths are also possible.

Specifically, when the pointer is completely in contact with the touch screen (d0), it is recognized as a contact touch. If the pointer is located on the touch screen at a distance less than the distance d1, it is recognized as a proximity touch of the first proximity depth.

If the pointer is located on the touch screen at a distance d1 or less and less than the distance d2, the pointer is recognized as a proximity touch of the second proximity depth. If the pointer is located on the touch screen at a distance d2 or more and less than the distance d3, it is recognized as a proximity touch of the third proximity depth. If the pointer is located at a distance d3 or more on the touch screen, it is recognized that the proximity touch is released.

Accordingly, the controller 180 can recognize the proximity touch as various input signals according to the proximity and proximity positions of the pointer to the touch screen, and perform various operation controls according to the various input signals.

FIGS. 3 and 4 are views for explaining a stereoscopic image displaying method using a binocular parallax according to the embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a view illustrating a method using a lenticular lens array And Fig. 4 shows a method of using a parallax barrier.

Binocular parallax (stereo disparity) is the difference between the left and right eyes of a person. When synthesizing the image seen through the left eye and the image seen through the right eye in the human brain, the synthesized image makes a person feel stereoscopic. Hereinafter, a phenomenon in which a person perceives a stereoscopic effect according to a binocular disparity is referred to as 'stereoscopic vision', and an image causing stereoscopic vision is referred to as a 'stereoscopic image'. In addition, when a specific object included in an image causes stereoscopic vision, the object is referred to as a 'stereoscopic object'.

The stereoscopic image display method according to the binocular disparity can be classified into a spectacle type requiring special glasses and a non-eye type requiring no glasses. The spectacle type includes a method using a sunglass having wavelength selectivity, a polarized spectacle method using a shading effect according to a polarization difference, and a time-division spectacle method in which right and left images are alternately presented in a residual image time of the eye. In addition, there is a method of mounting a filter having a different transmittance in each of the right and left eyes to obtain a three-dimensional effect on the movement in the left and right direction in accordance with the time difference of the visual system from the difference in transmittance.

In addition, a parallax barrier system, a lenticular lens system, or a microlens array system is used for a non-eye-safety system in which a stereoscopic effect is generated on the side of the image display surface other than the observer.

Referring to FIG. 3, the display module 151 includes a lenticular lens array 81a to display a stereoscopic image. The lenticular lens array 81a includes a pixel L to be input to the left eye 82a and a pixel R to be input to the right eye 82b are alternately arranged along the horizontal direction and a display surface 83 and left and right eyes 82a, 82b and provides optical discrimination directivity for the pixel L to be input to the left eye 82a and the pixel R to be input to the right eye 82b. The image of the human eye is viewed through the left eye 82a and the image through the right eye 82b while the human eye is viewed through the left eye 82a and the right eye 82b. And the stereoscopic image is observed.

Referring to FIG. 4, the display module 151 includes a vertical grid-shaped parallax barrier 81b to display a stereoscopic image. The parallax barrier 81b includes a pixel L to be inputted to the left eye 82a and a pixel R to be inputted to the right eye 82b are alternately arranged along the horizontal direction and the display surface 83 and the left and right eyes 82a, 82b so that the images are separated and observed in the left eye 82a and the right eye 82b through a vertical grid aperture. Accordingly, the human brain combines the image viewed through the left eye 82a and the image viewed through the right eye 82b to observe the stereoscopic image. This parallax barrier 81b is turned on only when it is desired to display a stereoscopic image and separates the incident time. When the flat image is to be displayed, the parallax barrier 81b is turned off so that the incident time can be passed without being separated have.

Meanwhile, the stereoscopic image display methods described above are for illustrating embodiments of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. The present invention can display stereoscopic images using binocular parallax using various methods in addition to the above-described methods.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described. In the present invention, the display unit 151 provided in the mobile terminal 100 is assumed to be the touch screen 151 for convenience of explanation. As described above, the touch screen 151 can perform both the information display function and the information input function. However, it should be clearly understood that the present invention is not limited thereto. Also, the touch mentioned in this document can include both touch and proximity touch.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a method of controlling a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a view for explaining the embodiment of FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a view for explaining an embodiment for providing a touch interaction guide; FIG.

A method of controlling a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention can be implemented in the mobile terminal 100 described with reference to FIGS. Hereinafter, a method of controlling a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and an operation of the mobile terminal 100 for implementing the method will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 5, the controller 180 may display at least one item on the touch screen 151 (S110).

The at least one item includes an icon and a widget and may include content such as an application, a still image, a moving image, an animation, a flash, and the like.

Also, for example, the at least one item may include a window for providing or receiving information such as a menu window, an input window, and a pop-up window.

As shown in FIG. 6, items provided on the touch screen 151 may be displayed in a state in which a touch interaction guide for each item is not provided.

The item displayed on the touch screen 151 may include an item responding to a predetermined touch input input by the user and an item not responding to the touch input.

The touch interaction guide is an indicator for discriminating whether an item responds to a touch input for a predetermined item displayed on the touch screen 151 or does not respond.

The touch interaction guide is an item in which an item displayed on the touch screen 151 responds to a touch input. If there are a plurality of types of touch patterns available for the item, the number of types of the touch patterns may be recognized Lt; / RTI >

6, even if a predetermined event occurs that requires the display of the touch interaction guide for at least the item displayed on the touch screen 151, if the touch interaction guide for each item is not provided, The items displayed on the touch screen 151 may be items that do not respond to any touch input.

Meanwhile, according to the method of controlling a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a touch interaction guide for a specific item can be expressed as a depth level of stereoscopic vision corresponding to the item. The depth level of the stereoscopic vision will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

The control unit 180 may receive a predetermined input for displaying the touch interaction guide.

The predetermined input may be a proximity touch input sensed at a predetermined distance from the touch screen 151.

7, when at least one item is displayed on the touch screen 151 (Fig. 7 (a)), the touch screen 151 is displayed on the touch screen 151 If the distance h between the at least one item is smaller than the predetermined distance d1, the controller 180 controls the touch interaction guide for at least one item having the touch intercation among the at least one item, (S130) (Fig. 7 (b)).

For example, referring to FIG. 7B, the stereoscopic vision SV1 of the first item (item 1) may include a first depth level (SV1) corresponding to a type of a predetermined touch pattern for the first item (item 1) Lt; / RTI > Also, the stereoscopic vision SV2 of the second item item 2 may be displayed so as to have the second depth level according to the type of the predetermined touch pattern for the second item item 2.

The same is true for the depth levels SV3, SV4, and SV5 for the third to fifth items (item3, item4, item5).

The control unit 180 can control the touch interaction guide to construct 3D by displaying the touch interaction guide in stereoscopic view of each item.

For example, stereoscopic viewing of each item may be controlled such that a plurality of 2D objects overlap as a whole by controlling a predetermined depth level to overlap with a specific 2D object can do.

Also, for example, stereoscopic viewing of each item may be a 3D object using each binocular disparity.

On the other hand, when the distance h between the touch input means (for example, a finger) and the touch screen 151 is smaller than the distance (h) between the touch input means When receiving the proximity touch input exceeding the predetermined distance d1, the control unit 180 can remove the touch interaction guide.

For example, when the finger is moved away from the touch screen 151 in FIG. 7 (b), the touch interaction guide displayed in 3D disappears, and only items displayed in 2D can be displayed on the touch screen 151.

8, the controller 180 receives a double tapping input for the body of the mobile terminal 100 (FIG. 8A) As described above, the touch interaction guide for the item in which the touch interaction exists can be expressed by depth levels (SV1, SV2, SV3, SV4, and SV5) of the stereoscopic effect of each item.

Meanwhile, the controller 180 may control the depth level of the stereoscopic effect corresponding to each item to be different from each other according to a possible touch pattern for each item (S140).

The touch pattern means at least one kind of touch (or number of touches) for accessing at least one function corresponding to a specific item.

For example, it is assumed that the item is a widget and that the widget has two functions mapped. Then, the control unit 180 can access the first function of the widget corresponding to the first touch pattern (for example, a short touch) The second function of the widget can be accessed.

Therefore, when there is a display request of the touch interaction guide, the control unit 180 allows the user to recognize that the touch interaction exists in the widget by expressing the widget in stereo.

The control unit 180 can control the touch interaction guides for the items to be displayed differently in proportion to the number of touch patterns. For example, it is possible to control the depth level of stereoscopic vision for an item differently in proportion to the number of touch patterns.

The relationship between the depth level of stereoscopic vision for each item and the number of patches of the touch pattern will be described in more detail.

FIG. 9 shows an example of a touch interaction guide displayed according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 9, the touch interaction mapped to the first object OB1 may have three types of touch patterns. The touch pattern may be touch & drop, long touch, and touch & drag.

The touch interaction mapped to the second object OB2 may have two types of touch patterns. The touch pattern may include touch & drop and long touch.

In addition, the touch interaction mapped to the third object OB3 may have one touch pattern, and the touch pattern may be touch & drop.

Also, no touch interaction exists in the fourth object OB4.

Accordingly, the touch interaction guide for each object has a depth level DL1 of the stereoscopic vision corresponding to the first object, a depth level DL2 of the stereoscopic vision corresponding to the second object, a depth level DL2 of the stereoscopic vision corresponding to the third object, And can be expressed by the depth level DL3. On the other hand, since the first object has no touch interaction, the depth level is 0 and can be displayed in 2D.

When the first to fourth objects are displayed in a 2D state on one touch screen 151, when the touch interaction guide is requested to be displayed, the controller 180 sets the depth levels corresponding to the first to fourth objects (Touch interaction guide) can be displayed for each object.

Accordingly, the user can grasp the item responding to the touch at a glance by the touch interaction guide.

Hereinafter, an example of applying a control method of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention during a process of executing a specific application will be described.

FIGS. 10 to 12 are views for explaining the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 in more detail.

Referring to FIG. 10, the control unit 180 may execute a predetermined application (for example, facebook). As the application is executed, at least one item (a photo icon, a movie icon, a music icon) can be displayed on the touch screen 151.

On the other hand, the control unit 180 may display an item related to the application (for example, a photograph corresponding to a specific person, a name indicating the specific person) on the touch screen 151.

The items to which the control method of the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied include not only the above-mentioned picture icons, moving picture icons, and music icons but also items related to specific applications (pictures corresponding to specific persons, Name) can also be applied.

When the input for displaying the touch interaction guide is received, as shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 180 displays the item having the touch interaction (a name representing a specific person, a picture icon, a moving picture icon, A stereoscopic vision having a depth level can be displayed for each item.

Here, the first depth level 1 of stereoscopic vision with respect to a name representing a specific person is set such that the value is smaller than a second depth level (depth level 2) of a stereoscopic vision for a picture icon, a moving picture icon, Lt; / RTI >

The touch pattern corresponding to the first depth level is touch and drop and the touch pattern corresponding to the second depth level is touch and drop ) And a long touch input.

10, when the controller 180 receives a touch and drop input for a name (for example, Bart) indicating the specific person, A page can be displayed on the touch screen 151.

11 to 12, an exemplary operation of the mobile terminal corresponding to the touch input of the touch pattern corresponding to the second depth level (depth level 2) will be described.

Referring to FIG. 11, when a touch and drop (TP1) is received for a picture icon displayed in stereoscopic with a depth level 2, the control unit 180 displays the picture And can display predetermined menus (21, 22, 23) for attaching on the touch screen (151).

12, when a long touch TP2 is received (Fig. 12 (a)) with respect to a picture icon displayed in stereoscopic with a depth level 2, (Camera mode) for taking a picture in the application currently being executed (180) (Fig. 12 (b)).

In the above-described example, the touch interaction guide is described as stereoscopic display for each item, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the control unit 180 may display a predetermined symbol image, which is capable of metapatically representing the attribute of the touch pattern, in the touch interaction guide for each item in stereo.
