Description

Portable terminal having side touch screen

The present invention relates to a portable terminal, and more particularly, to a portable terminal equipped with a touch screen on part or all of the side edges.

In general, a touch screen is a position where an input means is touched when an input means such as a human hand or a stylus touches a character or a specific position displayed on the screen without using a keyboard. It is an input / output device that receives input data directly from the screen so that specific processing can be performed by the stored software. Accordingly, the touch screen is an input device and a display device that perform input and display of information on one screen. The touch screen is a new input device that can replace an input device such as a mouse and a keyboard, and its use area is gradually expanding. When the touch screen is used for the display device of the portable terminal, the existing keypad can be eliminated, so that the display area can be increased and the user can intuitively operate.

However, in the conventional touch screen terminal, all of the user's input is concentrated on the front screen, and contamination of the user's fingerprints on the front screen or wounds caused by the user may occur, making identification of the screen display difficult or malfunctioning of the screen display operation. Could effect.

In addition, in the reality that multimedia devices are becoming smaller, there is a demand for a method of efficiently operating a menu even on a small screen, and a user seeks a more convenient and intuitive operation method in using a GUI. Accordingly, a search for a method for allowing a user to select a menu more conveniently and intuitively is required.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a portable terminal equipped with a touch screen on part or all of the side edges.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mobile terminal having a front surface and a side surface connected to an edge of the front surface, wherein a screen is installed on the front surface, and a touch screen for receiving control by a user is installed on the side surface. It features.

On the other hand, the touch screen of the mobile terminal according to the present invention is characterized in that it is divided into one or more areas.

In addition, when the two areas of the touch screen of the mobile terminal according to the present invention are pulled outwards with each other in contact with each other, the image displayed on the front screen is enlarged about the center, and the two areas of the touch screen are touched. If the state is dragged inward to each other, the image displayed on the front screen is reduced to the center.

In addition, when a part of the front screen of the portable terminal according to the present invention is in contact with each other, the two screens of the touch screen are pulled outwards to each other while the images displayed on the front screen are in contact with the front screen. When a part of the front screen is enlarged and a part of the front screen is in contact with each other, the two screens of the touch screen are dragged inward with each other in contact with each other to display an image displayed on the front screen. It is characterized in that it is reduced around the one contacted portion.

In addition, when one area of the touch screen of the portable terminal according to the present invention is dragged in a predetermined direction while being in contact with the mobile terminal, the image displayed on the front screen is scrolled in the predetermined direction.

In addition, when one area of the touch screen of the portable terminal according to the present invention is characterized in that the image displayed on the front screen is scrolled in a predetermined direction.

In addition, when a contact is moved from one area of the touch screen of the portable terminal according to the present invention to another area located on the side of the area, the image displayed on the front screen is rotated in the moving direction.

In addition, the touch screen of the mobile terminal according to the present invention is characterized by displaying schedule information.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a portable terminal having a side touch screen, so that the user can adjust the screen more conveniently and intuitively.

In addition, by receiving the user's touch input through the touch screen, the user's touch input concentration concentrated on the front screen is dispersed to solve some of the problems caused by contamination on the front screen.

In addition, by providing the user with more various input methods using the side touch screen, the user can freely configure and output characters and graphics through the side touch screen, thereby securing cyanity for the mobile terminal. .

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In describing the present invention, when it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted. The following terms are defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention, and may be changed according to the intentions or customs of the user, the operator, and the like. Therefore, the definition should be made based on the contents throughout the specification.

Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings will be described the present invention in more detail.

1 is an external view of a portable terminal to which the present invention can be applied. The front screen 301 is mounted on the front surface of the mobile terminal main body 200, and the front screen 301 may be a normal screen or a touch screen. Touch screens 101, 102, and 103 are mounted on side surfaces connected to the front edges. For convenience of description, the touch screens 101, 102 and 103 are equipped with two touch screens 101 and 102 on the long side and one touch screen 103 on the short side, but the number is not limited, and the touch screens 101 and 102 are also provided. Also, the touch screen may be mounted on the opposite side of the side on which 103 is mounted.

Hereinafter, a process of operating the portable terminal will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2A to 2C are diagrams illustrating an operation of a portable terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2A, when a part of the body is dragged outward with each part of the body to the touch screens 101 and 102 mounted on the side, the image displayed on the front screen 301 is centered on the center of the image. Is enlarged.

As shown in FIG. 2B, when the touched portions are pulled outward to each other for a longer time, the image of the front screen 301 is enlarged more in proportion to a certain ratio.

In contrast to FIGS. 2A and 2B, as illustrated in FIG. 2C, the front screens may be pulled inward with each other by touching a part of the body to the touch screens 101 and 102 mounted on the side. The image of 301 is reduced around the center of the image.

In addition, when the touched portions are pulled further inward to each other, the image of the front screen 301 is further reduced in proportion to a certain ratio.

3A to 3B are diagrams illustrating an operation of a portable terminal according to another embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3A, a part of the body is touched with respect to the front screen 301 by designating a part 302 in the front screen 301, and as shown in FIG. 3B, mounted on the side surface. When the body parts of the touch screens 101 and 102 are touched and pulled outward from each other, the image displayed on the front screen 301 is enlarged around the designated part 302. On the contrary, when dragged inward, the image is reduced around the designated portion 302.

In addition, in a state where a part of the body is touched to the front screen 301 by designating a part 302 in the front screen 301, the touched parts may be dragged outward to each other for a predetermined ratio. The proportion of the image of the front screen 301 is enlarged more largely in proportion to the designated portion 302, and when the touched portions are pulled inward to each other for a longer time, the proportion of the designated portion 302 is proportionally increased. At the center, the image of the front screen 301 is further reduced.
