The SAR sensor 510 is similar to the capacitive touch sensor but has a transmitting electrode 512 and a receiving electrode 513 inside the common sensing ground 511. Therefore, since the SAR sensor 510 forms an electric field only in a specific direction, it is possible to easily detect an object approaching in a specific direction. That is, the SAR sensor 510 has an advantage in that it can detect an object located at a distance from the capacitive touch sensor.

If the user's body is close to the user through the intensity of the signal sensed by the receiving electrode 513 in FIG. 6, You can also see if you are moving away.

10 to 17 are views illustrating various input methods in the glass type mobile terminal of the present invention.

10, when the acceleration sensor is applied to the first input unit 124 disposed on the tip 450 of the mobile terminal 100, when the user moves the first input unit 124 in the vertical direction The first input unit 124 senses a change in acceleration according to a user's operation and the controller 180 can recognize a user's input operation through a signal from the first input unit 124. For example, the tip 450 of the mobile terminal 100 may be made of a more flexible material such as rubber than the other portions of the frame, and even if the user moves the tip 450 in the up and down direction, Can be designed so that there is little movement.

When the touch sensor or the SAR sensor is disposed on the first input unit 124 disposed on the tip 450 of the mobile terminal 100, when the user drags or touches the tip 450 in the up-down direction, The input unit 124 senses whether or not the user touches or drags according to an operation of the user, and the controller 180 can recognize the input operation of the user through the signal from the first input unit 124.

11, when the touch sensor or the SAR sensor is applied to the first input unit 124 disposed on the tip 450 of the mobile terminal 100, when the user inserts the tip 450 in the left and right directions along the longitudinal direction The first input unit 124 detects whether or not the user has dragged or touched according to an operation of the user and the controller 180 determines whether the input operation of the user is input through the signal from the first input unit 124 .

For example, when a four-way track ball is applied, the user can input four directions. The first input unit 124 senses the user's operation through a key or button input by the user, The controller 180 can recognize the input operation of the user through the signal from the first input unit 124.

For example, when a track ball is applied to the first input unit 124 and a proximity sensor is applied to the second input unit 125, if the user takes an operation to cover his / her ears by hand, At the same time, when the user operates the track ball, the controller 180 can recognize the input operation of the user according to the signals from the proximity sensor and the track ball.

13, when at least one of the touch sensor, the SAR sensor, the proximity sensor, and the illuminance sensor is applied to the first input unit 124 disposed on the tip 450 of the mobile terminal 100, The first input unit 124 senses an operation of the user and the controller 180 controls the first input unit 124 and the second input unit 124 according to the number of touches of the user, It can be seen that the operation is performed. For example, when the touch sensor is applied as the first input unit 124, when the user covers the ear portion on which the touch sensor is disposed and releases the hand, the user's hand naturally touches the touch sensor, The touch sensor senses a change in capacitance and senses a touch operation of the user.

[ You can see the action. For example, when the proximity sensor is applied as the first input unit 124, when the user closes and releases the ear portion on which the proximity sensor is disposed, the proximity sensor detects that the user's hand is approaching and departing And the control unit 180 can recognize the input operation of the user through the signal from the first input unit 124. The control unit 180 can recognize the input operation of the user through the signal from the first input unit 124. [

The second input unit 125 may be further disposed in the temple 440 of the mobile terminal 100. The second input unit 125 may include at least one of a touch sensor, an SAR sensor, a proximity sensor, The first input unit 124 and the second input unit 125 may detect the user's operation or may not be operated when the user covers the ear between the tip 450 and the temple 440 by hand, Only the first input unit 124 can sense the operation of the user and the controller 180 can recognize the input operation of the user through the signals from the first input unit 124 and the second input unit 125 . For example, when a proximity sensor is applied as the first input unit 124 and the second input unit 125, a user may manually cover the portion where the first input unit 124 and the second input unit 125 are disposed, The first input unit 124 and the second input unit 125 can detect that the user's hand is approaching and moving away from the first input unit 124 and the second input unit 125, A change occurs. If the user only covers the portion where the first input unit 124 is disposed and releases the hand, the first input unit 124 can detect that the user's hand is approaching and moving away from the first input unit 124, Only the input signal changes. The second input unit 125 does not change the input signal. The control unit 180 can recognize the input operation of the user from the change of the input signal at the first input unit 124 and the change of the input signal at the second input unit 125. [

In addition, when the user covers the first input portion 124 or the portion where the first input portion 124 and the second input portion 125 are disposed by hand and then immediately releases it, The control unit 180 controls the input of the user according to the signal change from the first input unit 124 or the first input unit 124 and the second input unit 125, You can see the action.

For example, when the proximity sensor is applied as the first input unit 124, when the user covers the ear portion where the proximity sensor is disposed, the proximity sensor can detect that the user's hand is in close proximity The control unit 180 can know the input operation of the user through the signal from the first input unit 124.

For example, when the proximity sensor is applied as the first input unit 124 and the second input unit 125, the user may touch the portion where the first input unit 124 and the second input unit 125 are disposed for a predetermined time or longer The first input unit 124 and the second input unit 125 can detect that the user's hand is in a state of being in proximity to the first input unit 124 and the second input unit 125, A change in the input signal occurs. If the user only covers the portion where the first input unit 124 is disposed for a predetermined time or more, the first input unit 124 can detect that the user's hand is in close proximity to the first input unit 124 ) Changes only in the input signal. The second input unit 125 does not change the input signal. The control unit 180 can recognize the input operation of the user from the first input unit 124 and the input signal of the second input unit 125 does not change.

For example, when the proximity sensor is applied as the first input unit 124, if the user covers both ears on which the proximity sensor is disposed with two hands, the proximity sensor detects that the user's hand is in a close state And the control unit 180 can recognize the input operation of the user through the signals from the first input unit 124 disposed on both the tips 450. [

If the user covers only the tip portions 450 of the first input portion 124 with the two hands for a predetermined time or longer, the first input portion 124 can sense that the two hands of the user are close to each other And a change of the input signal occurs only in the first input unit 124. The second input unit 125 does not change the input signal. The control unit 180 can recognize the input operation of the user from the first input unit 124 and the input signal of the second input unit 125 does not change.

In another embodiment of the present invention, only the first input unit 124 may be disposed in the tip 450 and the second input unit 125 may not be disposed in the temple 440. In this case, the user may not distinguish between the operation of covering the ear portion with the hand and the operation of covering the portion of the temple 440 and the tip 450 with the hand and the operation of covering only the tip 450 with the hand.
