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 the presence of an object in the vicinity of the detection surface, without mechanical contact by using 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.

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.

The touch sensor may be configured to detect a position, an area, a pressure at the time of touch, a capacitance at the time of touch, and the like where a touch object touching the touch screen is touched 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 touching 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.

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 sensor (for example, a CCD, a CMOS, etc.), a photo sensor (or an image sensor), and a laser sensor.

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. That is, the photo sensor performs coordinate calculation of the object to be sensed according to the amount of change of light, and position information of the object to be sensed can be obtained through the calculation.

The mobile terminal according to the present invention performs different controls according to the direction of a touch applied to the touch screen in a state that the home screen page is output on the touch screen. More specifically, the home screen page includes a plurality of pages, and in a state in which any one of the plurality of home screen pages is outputted to the touch screen, Another page may be output. At this time, when the touch is applied in a specific direction, it is possible to output a page according to the specific direction on the assumption that predetermined conditions are satisfied. Accordingly, the user is provided with the convenience of outputting various pages on the touch screen by a simple operation of changing the direction of the touch. In addition, since the page according to the specific direction is output on the assumption that predetermined conditions are satisfied, the user has the effect of protecting the privacy by registering and using the screen information requiring security on the page according to the specific direction . Hereinafter, embodiments related to a control method that can be implemented in a mobile terminal configured as above will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the present specification, each of the accompanying drawings will be described in order based on a clockwise direction. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof.

FIG. 2A is a flowchart related to a control method of outputting different pages according to a direction of a touch applied to a touch screen according to the present invention, and FIGS. 2B and 2C are conceptual diagrams for explaining a control method according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2A, one of a plurality of home screen pages may be output on the touch screen of the mobile terminal according to the present invention (S210).

Here, the plurality of home screen pages may include various screen information. For example, one page of the home screen page may be screen information including an icon corresponding to each of a part of applications installed in the mobile terminal. In another example, one page of the home screen page may be screen information corresponding to an execution screen of a specific application installed in the mobile terminal. That is, the execution screen of the specific application may be a specific screen (for example, a phone banking screen) requiring security and may be a memo screen in which a user stores a password or an account number, (For example, an execution screen corresponding to the diary function). In this case, the execution screen of the specific application can be stored in advance by the user.

As described above, when a touch is applied to the touch screen in a state in which any one of the plurality of home screen pages is output to the touch screen, different controls may be performed according to the direction in which the touch is applied S220).

That is, the control unit 180 outputs, to the touch screen 151, one of the plurality of home screen pages, based on the direction of the touch applied to the touch screen 151, You can choose which pages to make.

More specifically, a touch may be applied to the touch screen 151 in a first direction. Here, the touch in the first direction may be a touch applied to the touch screen in the horizontal direction (left direction or right direction). Also, a touch may be applied on the touch screen 151 in a second direction intersecting the first direction. Here, the touch in the second direction may be a touch applied in the vertical direction toward the upper or lower end of the touch screen.

First, when a touch is applied to the touch screen 151 along the first direction, the controller 180 controls the one of the plurality of home screen pages and the first direction And may switch to another page arranged adjacent (S230).

For example, as shown in the first figure of FIG. 2B, in a state where any one page 10 of the plurality of home screen pages is outputted to the touch screen 151, A rightward facing touch can be applied to the touch panel 151. In this case, as shown in the third figure of FIG. 2B, the controller 180 determines that a page arranged in the horizontal direction among the pages adjacent to the one page 10 (the touch is directed to the right, And a page arranged on the left side of any one of the pages adjacent to the page (9) on the touch screen (151).

In addition, if a touch is applied to the touch screen 151 in a second direction intersecting the first direction, the controller 180 can activate the camera (S240).

In addition, the control unit 180 may perform a predetermined authentication function using the image information input through the activated camera (S250).

That is, when the touch is applied in the second direction crossing the first direction, the control unit 180 performs a separate control before outputting the page according to the touch of the second direction among the plurality of home screen pages can do.

More specifically, the controller 180 may activate the camera 121 based on the touch of the second direction. In this case, the activated camera 121 may be a camera 121 located on the front surface of the mobile terminal. In addition, the camera 121 may be activated to photograph the front of the mobile terminal. For example, the camera 121 may photograph a face of a user located in front of the mobile terminal. 2C, the front camera is activated based on the touch applied to the upper end of the touch screen 151 on the touch screen 151, and the front camera 151 displays the face of the user You can shoot. At this time, the controller 180 can output the screen 20 captured by the front camera to one area of the touch screen 151 as shown in the third figure of FIG. 2C.

As described above, when the front side of the mobile terminal is photographed, the control unit 180 can receive the image information photographed by the camera 121 from the camera 121. Also, the controller 180 may perform a preset authentication function using the image information. Here, the authentication function may be performed by comparing the face data of the user included in the image information with the data of the user's face.

That is, the mobile terminal according to the present invention may previously store data on the user's face in the memory 170 to perform the authentication function. In this case, the controller 180 may extract the face data of the user included in the image information when the image information of the front face of the mobile terminal is obtained from the camera 121. The face data of the user extracted from the image information can be compared with the face data of the user stored in the memory 170.

In this case, if the face data included in the image information corresponds to the face data of the user stored previously, the controller 180 can determine that the user authentication is normally performed. On the other hand, if the face data included in the image information does not correspond to the user's face data, the controller 180 may determine that the authentication of the user has failed.

In this way, the control unit 180 performs the authentication function and can switch any one of the pages to another page arranged in the second direction based on the result of the authentication function (S260 ).

That is, if it is determined that the user authentication is normally performed, the controller 180 controls the touch screen 151 to output another page arranged in the second direction among the pages adjacent to the one page, You can control the touch screen. That is, as shown in the fourth figure of FIG. 2C, the controller 180 may output the page 30 in the second direction. At this time, when the execution screen of a specific application is set by a user on a page according to the second direction, the controller 180 can output the execution screen of the specific application to the touch screen 151. [

On the other hand, if it is determined that the authentication is unsuccessful, the controller 180 may control the touch screen 151 to maintain the output of the one page.

As described above, in the mobile terminal according to the present invention, the home screen page can be moved only in the horizontal direction in the conventional mobile terminal, but the page can be moved in the vertical direction. Accordingly, the user is provided with the convenience of outputting various pages through application of the touch input in various directions in a state in which any one of the home screen pages is outputted. In addition, the user can easily and safely receive a specific execution screen available only by himself / herself while outputting the home screen page by setting a specific execution screen on a page to be outputted according to a specific direction (vertical direction).

Meanwhile, if it is determined that the authentication of the user has failed according to the authentication function, the controller 180 may perform the control such as re-performing or repeating the authentication function. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B.

3A and 3B are diagrams showing an embodiment in which the authentication function is judged to be failed in authentication of the user.

3a, when a touch is applied along the second direction in a state in which one page 10 is output to the touch screen 151, as shown in the second figure of FIG. 3a, The controller 180 may activate the front camera. In addition, the control unit 180 may acquire image information from the front camera, and may perform a preset authentication function using the user's face data included in the image information. In this case, if the face data included in the image information does not correspond to the stored face data, the controller 180 can determine that the authentication of the user is failed. As shown in the second figure of FIG. 3A, a pop-up message including information on the authentication failure may be output to the touch screen 151 together with the photographing screen 21 of the front camera.

In this way, when the user authentication fails, the controller 180 can control the front camera so that the front camera maintains the activated state for a preset time even if there is no separate input. In addition, the front camera may again perform photographing of the front side of the mobile terminal. In this way, the control unit 180 can output the screen 20 to the touch screen 151 when the re-shooting is performed. In this case, the control unit 180 may output the guidance message for performing the re-authentication function to the touch screen 151 together with the re-capture screen 20, as shown in the third figure of FIG.

The control unit 180 may again perform the authentication function using the re-photographed image information. In this case, if the user authentication is normally performed according to the authentication function performed again, the controller 180 may output the page in the second direction to the touch screen 151 as shown in the fourth figure of FIG. 3A . Accordingly, even if the user fails to authenticate himself / herself once, the user can immediately perform authentication again through the camera whose activation state is maintained for a preset time, and is provided with an opportunity to output a desired screen.

On the other hand, even if the authentication function is performed again, the identity authentication may fail. In this case, the control unit 180 may repeat the authentication function a predetermined number of times. When the user authentication is not normally performed within a predetermined number of times, the output of the page in the second direction can be restricted.

That is, as shown in the first figure of FIG. 3B, the controller 180 repeats the authentication of the user for a predetermined number of times, and if the authentication fails within the predetermined number of times, 151). The controller 180 may control the touch screen 151 to maintain the output of any one of the pages 10.

Also, the controller 180 may switch the front camera to the inactive state as shown in the second figure of FIG. 3B. The deactivated state of the front camera can be maintained for a preset time from the time when the user authentication fails by the predetermined number of times. 3B, when the touch is applied to the touch screen 151 in the second direction before the predetermined time elapses, the controller 180 controls the display unit 130 to display the third image of FIG. 3B , It is possible to maintain the output for any one of the pages 10, as shown in FIG.

As described above, if the user authentication is not normally performed within the preset number of times, the controller 180 can determine that the authentication function is performed by the user other than the user who has been stored. Accordingly, the controller 180 may restrict the performance of the authentication function for a predetermined period of time to control the touch screen 151 so that a user other than the pre-stored user can not receive a specific page in the second direction have. Therefore, since the user can use the specific page by monopolizing it, privacy can be protected.

On the other hand, a page output according to a touch applied in the second direction may vary according to a touch manner applied in the second direction. When the second direction is the vertical direction, different pages may be outputted depending on whether the input is directed toward the upper end of the touch screen 151 or toward the lower end. In this connection, description will be made with reference to Figs. 4A, 4B and 4C.

FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C are diagrams illustrating an example of outputting various pages according to a touch applied in the second direction.

Referring to FIG. 4A, a drag-touch input may be applied toward the upper end of the touch screen 151 in a state in which one page 10 is output to the touch screen 151 . In this case, as shown in the second figure of FIG. 4A, the controller 180 performs a preset authentication function using the image information provided from the front camera, and as shown in the third figure of FIG. 4A, One page 30 can be output. Here, the one page 30 may be a screen separately set by a user as an execution screen of a specific application. For example, the one page 30 can be set as an execution screen of a specific application that needs to be secured by the user.

Alternatively, as shown in the first figure of FIG. 4B, in a state in which one of the pages 10 is output, a multi-touch in which a touch is simultaneously performed at two or more points on the touch screen 151 is first applied, And may be continuously applied toward the upper end of the touch screen 151. The multi-touch may be terminated in one area near the upper end of the touch screen 151.

When the touch is applied, the controller 180 performs a predetermined authentication function as shown in the second figure of FIG. 4B, and can grasp the manner and direction of the touch. That is, the controller 180 can recognize that the multi-touch is applied in a drag manner toward the upper end of the touch screen 151 in a state where any one of the pages 10 is output. A specific page corresponding to the multi-touch applied in a drag manner toward the upper end of the touch screen 151 may be output to the touch screen 151. [

In this case, the user can preset a specific page corresponding to the direction and manner of the touch. For example, the specific page may be an execution screen of the application most recently used by the user (for example, an execution screen of the game application, as shown in the third figure of FIG. 4B). If there is no other setting from the user, the control unit 180 determines whether the frequency of use of the user is based on the history information using the application installed in the mobile terminal, It is also possible to display the execution screen of a high application.

4C, a drag input may be applied toward the lower end of the touch screen 151 in a state in which any one of the pages 10 is output. In this case, the controller 180 performs a predetermined authentication function as shown in the second figure of FIG. 4C, and grasps the method and direction of the touch (drag input applied toward the lower end of the touch screen 151) . Then, a page corresponding to the detected method and direction of the touch can be output to the touch screen 151.

Accordingly, as shown in the third figure of FIG. 4C, the specific page 32 according to the detected direction of the touch and the method (drag-touch input applied toward the lower end of the touch screen) may be output to the touch screen 151 have.

As described above, the page output according to the touch applied in the second direction (e.g., the vertical direction) performs a predetermined authentication function, so that the user can input a specific execution screen, It can be set to a specific page in two directions. In addition, when the user intends to register various execution screens, he can easily output each of the various execution screens by setting various touch methods or directions. In addition, if there is no other setting from the user, the control unit 180 displays the execution screen selected based on the utilization information (history information) of the user (for example, An execution screen used in recent years, or an execution screen related to an event that has occurred most recently), thereby providing more convenience to the user.

The predetermined authentication function may be performed using information other than image information provided from the camera. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a case where a predetermined authentication function is performed using fingerprint information.

Referring to FIG. 5, a touch input according to the second direction may be applied to the touch screen 151 in a state in which one of the pages 10 is output. At this time, the controller 180 may activate a separate fingerprint sensor provided in the mobile terminal. The fingerprint recognition sensor may be provided in one area of a vat (upper or lower vat) surrounding the edge area of the touch screen 151. 5, a touch in the second direction applied to the touch screen 151 is continuously applied, and the touch can be maintained for a preset time in the fingerprint recognition sensor.

In this case, the controller 180 may receive the fingerprint information from the fingerprint recognition sensor, and determine whether the previously stored fingerprint information and the provided fingerprint information correspond to each other to perform the predetermined authentication function. If the fingerprint information provided corresponds to the previously stored fingerprint information, it is determined that the authentication of the user is normally performed, and the screen 22 informing the user of the authentication completion information according to the fingerprint is displayed on the touch screen (151). 5, the controller 180 may control the touch screen 151 such that the one page 10 is switched to the specific page 30 in the second direction .

In this manner, the predetermined authentication function can be performed through the fingerprint information in addition to the image information received from the camera. In this case, the user can easily perform the fingerprint recognition process by performing the authentication function by continuously touching input in the second direction. Accordingly, the user can quickly receive the convenience of completing the authentication of the user and outputting a desired page.
