Meanwhile, the sensing unit 140 senses at least one of information in the mobile terminal, surrounding environment information surrounding the mobile terminal, and user information, and generates a corresponding sensing signal. The control unit 180 may control the driving or operation of the mobile terminal 100 or may perform data processing, function or operation related to the application program installed in the mobile terminal 100 based on the sensing signal. Representative sensors among various sensors that may be included in the sensing unit 140 will be described in more detail.

First, the proximity sensor 141 refers to a sensor that detects the presence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface or an object existing in the vicinity of the detection surface without mechanical contact using an electromagnetic force or infrared rays. The proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in the inner area of the mobile terminal or in proximity to the touch screen, which is covered by the touch screen. The proximity sensor 141 has a longer life than the contact type sensor and its utilization is also high.

Examples of the proximity sensor 141 include a transmission type photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection type photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection type photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation type proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor. In the case where the touch screen is electrostatic, the proximity sensor 141 can be configured to detect the proximity of the object with a change of the electric field along the proximity of the object having conductivity. In this case, the touch screen (or touch sensor) itself may be classified as a proximity sensor.

On the other hand, for convenience of explanation, the act of recognizing that the object is located on the touch screen in proximity with no object touching the touch screen is referred to as "proximity touch & The act of actually touching an object on the screen is called a "contact touch. &Quot; The position at which the object is closely touched on the touch screen means a position where the object corresponds to the touch screen vertically when the object is touched. The proximity sensor 141 can detect a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (e.g., a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, have. Meanwhile, the control unit 180 processes data (or information) corresponding to the proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern sensed through the proximity sensor 141 as described above, and further provides visual information corresponding to the processed data It can be output on the touch screen. Furthermore, the control unit 180 can control the mobile terminal 100 such that different operations or data (or information) are processed according to whether the touch to the same point on the touch screen is a proximity touch or a touch touch .

The touch sensor senses a touch (or touch input) applied to the touch screen (or the display unit 151) by using at least one of various touch methods such as a resistance film type, a capacitive type, an infrared type, an ultrasonic type, do.

For example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in a pressure applied to a specific portion of the touch screen or a capacitance generated in a specific portion to an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect a position, an area, a pressure at the time of touch, etc. of a touch object to be touched on the touch screen on the touch sensor. Here, the touch object may be a finger, a touch pen, a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like as an object to which a touch is applied to the touch sensor.

Thus, when there is a touch input to the touch sensor, the corresponding signal (s) is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal (s) and transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. Thus, the control unit 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched or the like. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component from the control unit 180, and may be the control unit 180 itself.

On the other hand, the control unit 180 may perform different controls or perform the same control according to the type of the touch object, which touches the touch screen (or a touch key provided on the touch screen). Whether to perform different controls or to perform the same control according to the type of the touch object may be determined according to the current state of the mobile terminal 100 or an application program being executed.

On the other hand, the touch sensors and the proximity sensors discussed above can be used independently or in combination to provide a short touch (touch), a long touch, a multi touch, a drag touch ), Flick touch, pinch-in touch, pinch-out touch, swipe touch, hovering touch, and the like. Touch can be sensed.

The ultrasonic sensor can recognize the position information of the object to be sensed by using ultrasonic waves. Meanwhile, the controller 180 can calculate the position of the wave generating source through the information sensed by the optical sensor and the plurality of ultrasonic sensors. The position of the wave source can be calculated using the fact that the light is much faster than the ultrasonic wave, that is, the time when the light reaches the optical sensor is much faster than the time the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. More specifically, the position of the wave generating source can be calculated using the time difference with the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the reference signal.

The camera 121 includes at least one of a camera 121, a photosensor, and a laser sensor. The camera 121 is a kind of camera sensor.

The camera 121 and the laser sensor may be combined with each other to sense a touch of the sensing object with respect to the three-dimensional stereoscopic image. The photosensor can be laminated to the display element, which is adapted to scan the movement of the object to be detected proximate to the touch screen. More specifically, the photosensor mounts photo diodes and TRs (Transistors) in a row / column and scans the contents loaded on the photosensor using an electrical signal that varies according to the amount of light applied to the photo diode.

Hereinafter, the watch-type mobile terminal 300 described herein will be referred to as a mobile terminal 300 for convenience of explanation. In addition, unless otherwise described, it is assumed that each configuration corresponds to the configuration included in the mobile terminal 300.

In the present specification, an external terminal means all terminals that can communicate with the mobile terminal 300, share various settings, and can operate in cooperation with the mobile terminal 300. The external terminal may be in the same form as the mobile terminal described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. Hereinafter, it will be assumed that the external terminal 200 includes all of the components shown in FIG.

Herein, the locked state (or mode) of the external terminal 200 is a concept including the locked state (or mode) and the unlocked state (or mode) of the external terminal 200. That is, the locked state of the external terminal 200 may be a locked state or an unlocked state. The lock setting state is a state in which the external terminal 200 is not operated in response to user input through the user input unit 130 of the external terminal 200. [ Or the lock setting state refers to a state in which the external terminal 200 is limitedly operated only for a part of predetermined inputs. Accordingly, the external terminal 200 may not operate unnecessarily in response to a user's unintended input. In addition, the lock setting state does not react to the input of another user, so that the security of the external terminal 200 is maintained. In particular, when the external terminal 200 has the touch screen 151 and the touch screen 151 of the external terminal 200 performs the function of the user input unit 130, The touch gesture is not input or only a part of the predetermined touch gesture is input in a limited manner to prevent erroneous operation or erroneous touch on the touch panel 151. [ The control unit 151 of the external terminal 200 may control the display of the user graphic for unlocking on the touch screen 151 when the external terminal 200 is in the locked state (or mode).

The user graphic can be determined in various forms such as an object for inputting a pattern password, a keypad for inputting a password, and a slide lock key for a specific part according to a manufacturer's intention or a user's setting.

If the unlocked state of the external terminal 200 is received by the user through the user input unit 130 of the external terminal 200 or the display unit of the external terminal 200 is implemented by the touch screen 151, Means a state in which a touch gesture is inputted on the touch screen 151 and the external terminal 200 can perform an operation corresponding to the input. When the user inputs a touch gesture or a user input for unlocking the lock on the screen on which the user graphic is displayed in the locked state of the external terminal 200, the controller 180 of the external terminal 200 controls the touch screen 151, A home screen screen having one or more pages displayed on the screen, a menu screen displaying various application icons, and an execution screen of a specific application.

In addition, the user setting lock state of the external terminal 200 may include a user setting lock state in which the use of a specific function is restricted even when the external terminal 200 is unlocked by user setting. That is, when a user other than the user of the external terminal 200 uses the external terminal 200, in order to protect the privacy of the user or security of the user, You can set it to be restricted in use. The user can select a specific application or a specific function whose use of the other user is restricted in the user setting locked state and the controller 180 of the external terminal 200 can select a particular application or a specific function selected by the user So that the function can be prevented from being executed. In addition, the controller 180 of the external terminal 200 may control not to display a function whose execution is restricted according to the user selection in the user setting locked state.

The control unit 180 of the external terminal 200 can control the user to set the user lock state to be stored in the memory 160 of the external terminal 200, A plurality of user-set lock states that are different from each other may be stored.

The user-set lock state can be set and stored through the external terminal 200, but can also be set and stored through the mobile terminal 300 of the present invention. The user can control the external terminal 200 through the mobile terminal 300 of the present invention and apply various settings to the external terminal 200 through the mobile terminal 300 of the present invention. Accordingly, when the user setting lock state is set through the mobile terminal 300, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 300 may apply the same to the external terminal 200.

In this specification, the touch gesture refers to an input operation for the user to operate the mobile terminal 300 through the touch screen 351. [ The control unit 180 can recognize the user's touch gesture inputted through the touch screen 351 as an operation command of the mobile terminal 300. [ The type of the touch gesture may include a tab operation, a flick operation, and a touch drag operation for drawing a specific trajectory with respect to a specific point of the touch screen 151. The touch gesture may include a proximity touch when the mobile terminal 100 includes the proximity sensor 141 as described above. Hereinafter, the case where the touch gesture is a touch drag will be mainly described.

In this specification, a program is a program for operating the mobile terminal 300 such as a home screen screen and a menu setting screen, as well as an execution screen of various applications and various multimedia data, such as a mobile terminal 300 or a display unit 151 ≪ / RTI > The program may be stored in the memory 160 or the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 300 or the external terminal 200 or may be transmitted and received through the wireless communication unit 110. [

Hereinafter, embodiments related to a control method that can be implemented in the mobile terminal configured as above will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of the mobile terminal 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. 6 is an exemplary view for explaining a case where the external terminal 200 is detected within a predetermined distance range from the mobile terminal 300 according to the embodiment of the present invention. And the external terminal 200 is not detected within a predetermined distance range from the mobile terminal 300. [

Referring to FIG. 5, the controller 180 may detect whether the external terminal 200 is within a preset distance range from the mobile terminal 300 (501).

In order to detect whether the external terminal 200 is located within a predetermined distance range, the mobile terminal 300 may include various sensors. For example, the sensing unit 140 senses a distance from the mobile terminal 300 to the external terminal 200 through various sensors such as an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, an illuminance sensor, a proximity sensor, . Alternatively, the sensing unit 140 may measure the distance from the mobile terminal 300 to the external terminal 200, but may sense whether the external terminal 200 is located within the sensing range. The control unit 180 may sense the distance to the external terminal 200 by sensing the size of the external terminal 200 as the object of shooting using the camera 321 of the mobile terminal 300. [ Alternatively, the control unit 180 can sense the distance between the mobile terminal 300 and the external terminal 200 through the wireless communication unit 110 including the GPS module and the WiFi module. Furthermore, the mobile terminal 300 according to the present invention may determine whether the external terminal 200 has entered a predetermined range through the local communication unit. For example, when the external terminal 200 enters the range within which short-range communication with the mobile terminal 300 is possible, the controller 180 may determine that the external terminal has entered a predetermined range. 1 may be regarded as a kind of sensing unit for sensing whether the external terminal 200 has entered a predetermined range from the mobile terminal 300. For example,

The sensing unit 140 for sensing whether the external terminal 200 is located within a predetermined distance from the mobile terminal 300 will be referred to as a first sensing unit.

In addition, the controller 180 may communicate with the external terminal 200 to receive information on whether the external terminal 200 is in a lock state or an unlock state. That is, the controller 180 can detect the locked state of the external terminal 200 (503). Meanwhile, in the embodiment of the present invention, the step 503 does not necessarily have to be performed by the control unit 180 after step 501, and even if step 503 is performed first, it is irrelevant.

6A, the user 600 wears the mobile terminal 300, and the mobile terminal 300 worn by the user 600 is adjacent to the external terminal 200 (620) . The control unit 180 may sense whether the external terminal 200 is located within a predetermined distance range from the mobile terminal 300 through the first sensing unit. The control unit 180 can confirm the lock status of the external terminal 200 by receiving the status information of the external terminal 200 through the wireless communication unit 110. [ The state information will be described later with reference to FIG.

The predetermined distance range 610 may be determined according to a setting of a user or a manufacturer.

If the external terminal 200 is in the locked state and the mobile terminal 300 is close to the external terminal 200 in step 620, If the external terminal 200 belongs to the set distance range 610, the controller 180 may control 505 to change the locked state of the external terminal 200 from the locked state to the unlocked state. Specifically, the control unit 180 transmits a control signal for changing the locked state of the external terminal 200 to the unlocked state to the external terminal through the wireless communication unit 110, thereby changing the locked state of the external terminal 200 .

If the control unit 180 determines that the external terminal 200 is locked according to a result of the determination of the locked state of the external terminal 200, the controller 180 controls the external terminal 200 to change the locked state to the unlocked state The controller 180 may control the locking state of the external terminal 200 to be changed without determining the locking state of the external terminal 200. [ That is, in a state in which the mobile terminal 300 does not receive the status information on the lock status of the external terminal 200 and does not determine the status thereof, the controller 180 determines that the lock status of the external terminal 200 is changed .

That is, if the control unit 180 determines that the external terminal 200 is not locked, the controller 180 determines that the external terminal 200 is in the locked state, The state can be controlled to change to the unlocked state.

The control unit 180 may lock the external terminal 200 in a locked state of the external terminal 200 through the wireless communication unit 110 to the external terminal 200 located within a predetermined distance range without determining the locked state of the external terminal 200. [ The external terminal 200 may not respond to the control signal if the lock state of the external terminal 200 has already been unlocked. That is, the step 503 of determining the locked state of the external terminal 200 is not necessarily performed by the controller 180.

6 (b), when the user 600 of the mobile terminal 300 grasps the external terminal 200, that is, when the mobile terminal 300 is located close to the external terminal 200 (620) The lock status of the external terminal 200 is changed from the locked state to the unlocked state when the external terminal 200 is located in the predetermined distance range 610 from the external terminal 300.

7A, when the user 600 wearing the mobile terminal 300 grasps the external terminal 200 and then moves the external terminal 200 away from the user 600, . In a state where the user 600 grasps the external terminal 200, the locked state of the external terminal 200 is in the unlocked state. The controller 180 can detect that the external terminal 200 is in the unlocked state. The controller 180 can detect that the external terminal 200 is in the unlocked state by communicating with the external terminal 200 as described above with reference to FIG. In addition, the controller 180 may detect whether the external terminal 200 is located outside the predetermined distance range from the mobile terminal 300 according to the departure 630 operation. The control unit 180 can confirm that the external terminal 200 is out of the sensing range of the first sensing unit as the mobile terminal 300 moves away from the external terminal 300. [

7B, when the external terminal 200 is not located within the predetermined distance range 610 from the mobile terminal 300, the controller 180 controls the locking state of the external terminal 200 May be controlled to change from the unlocked state to the locked state (507).

FIG. 8 is an exemplary view for explaining a change of the lock state of the external terminal 200 according to a distance change between the mobile terminal 300 and the external terminal 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

6 and 7, the controller 180 controls the lock status of the external terminal 200 to change according to whether the external terminal 200 is located within a predetermined distance range from the mobile terminal 300. However, The control unit 180 may control the locking state of the external terminal 200 to change according to the amount of change in the distance between the mobile terminal 300 and the external terminal 200. [ 6, when the external terminal 200 is located within a predetermined distance range from the mobile terminal 300, the controller 180 controls the external terminal 200 to change the locked state to the unlocked state Let's assume the case. At this time, if it is detected that the external terminal moves in a direction away from the mobile terminal even if it is determined that the external terminal 200 is located within the preset distance range, The state can be controlled to change to the lock setting state.

When the external terminal 200 is moved away from the mobile terminal 300 and the locked state of the external terminal 200 is changed to the locked state, When the movement of the external terminal in the direction of approaching the terminal 300 is detected, the external terminal can be controlled so that the locked state is changed to the unlocked state.

Referring to FIG. 8A, the controller 180 may detect that the mobile terminal 300 is moved by a predetermined distance 640 in the direction toward the external terminal 200. In particular, in FIG. 8 (a), the user 600 moves from the point 801 to the point 803 while wearing the mobile terminal 300. At this time, the controller 180 can detect that the mobile terminal 300 is close to the external terminal 200 through the first sensing unit 140. In addition, the discoverer 180 can detect that the distance between the mobile terminal 300 and the external terminal 200 is decreasing.

8 (b), when the controller 180 detects that the mobile terminal 300 is moving toward the external terminal 200, the controller 180 determines that the lock state of the external terminal 200 is' 8B to the unlocked state as shown in FIG. 8B.

9 is an exemplary diagram for explaining a case where the mobile terminal 300 according to the embodiment of the present invention is in a non-attach state to the user. Referring to FIG. 9A, the control unit 180 moves the mobile terminal 300 closer to the external terminal 200, as in FIG. 6A. Also, the position of the external terminal 200 from the mobile terminal 300 belongs to the predetermined distance range 610. However, referring to FIG. 9 (b), the control unit 180 can control not to change the lock state of the external terminal 200 from the lock state to the lock state, unlike the case described in FIG. That is, even if the distance between the detected mobile terminal 300 and the external terminal 200 falls within a predetermined distance range 610, the control unit 180 determines that the mobile terminal 300 is worn on the body of the user 600 The external terminal 200 can be controlled so that the locked state of the external terminal 200 is changed.

The control unit 180 may determine whether the mobile terminal 300 is worn on the body of the user 600 through the sensing unit 140. For this purpose, And the second portion 140 may be extended. At least one sensor for determining whether or not the mobile terminal 300 is worn, such as a touch sensor, a pressure sensor, and a temperature sensor, may be provided on the bottom surface or the bottom surface of the body of the mobile terminal 300. If the position of the external terminal 200 is detected from the mobile terminal 300 through the sensing unit 140 in a predetermined distance range, The external terminal 200 can be controlled so that the locked state of the external terminal 200 is not changed from the locked state to the unlocked state. The sensing unit 140 for sensing whether the mobile terminal 300 is worn on the user's body is referred to as a second sensing unit.

The control unit 180 may receive not only the wearing state of the mobile terminal 300 but also the status information of the external terminal 200 to determine whether the external terminal 200 is in a specific state.

The status information of the external terminal 200 includes information on the position where the external terminal 200 is placed, the movement of the external terminal 200, the tilt, the amount of light received by the external terminal 200 itself, The distance from the mobile terminal to the mobile terminal, and the direction toward the mobile terminal. When the external terminal 200 displays the information, Whether the information display direction of the external terminal 200 is the horizontal direction or the vertical direction, the locked state of the external terminal 200, and the residual power amount of the external terminal 200. Various information such as the application information in which the control unit of the external terminal 200 is operating and the lock status information of the call information external terminal 200 of the external terminal 200 as well as information on the external terminal 200 listed above, And may be included in the status information of the terminal 200.

The control unit 180 may determine whether the external terminal 200 is in a predetermined state using the status information.

For example, the control unit 180 may receive the received light amount information from the external terminal 200 and determine whether the external terminal 200 is in a dark place. If the external terminal 200 is contained in the bag of the user, the external terminal 200 can sense a light reception amount less than a preset reference. When the mobile terminal 200 receives the received light amount information of the external terminal 200, the controller 180 determines whether the received light amount is less than a preset reference value, Whether it is placed in a dark place). Even if the distance between the external terminal 200 and the mobile terminal 300 falls within a predetermined distance range 610 as shown in FIG. 6A, when the external terminal is determined to be in a specific state, So that the locked state of the mobile terminal 200 is not changed from the locked state to the unlocked state. That is, the control unit 180 may control the lock state of the external terminal 200 to be determined according to the state information of the external terminal 200 received from the external terminal 200.
