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 is characterized in that, in a state in which any one of a plurality of pages including at least one object is output, an object included in one of the pages is displayed on another page Can be changed to an object included in the object. At this time, even if an object included in one of the pages is changed to an object included in the other page, the output state of the background image of any one of the pages can be maintained as it is. Therefore, the user can easily receive the objects included in the page other than the currently output page without switching the currently outputted page itself.

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. The control method according to the present invention can be applied to a wearable device (e.g., a watch-type terminal) that can be mounted on a part of a body. In the drawings included in the present specification, drawings without additional suffixes will be described based on clockwise order. 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. 3A is a flowchart for explaining a control method according to the present invention, and FIG. 3B is a representative diagram for explaining a control method according to the present invention.

3A, a first page of a plurality of pages including at least one object may be output to the touch screen of the mobile terminal according to the present invention (S310).

The at least one object may correspond to all kinds of objects that can be included in the page output to the touch screen. For example, the object may be a graphic object including specific information such as image or text information, notification information for guidance, and event information about an event occurring in the mobile terminal. In another example, the object may be an icon corresponding to an application related to a function that can be executed in the mobile terminal. That is, as shown in the first figure of FIG. 3B, the mobile terminal may be a watchdog terminal, a first page may be output to the touch screen 351 of the watch-type terminal, A plurality of icons 10, 11, and 12 may be included as objects.

On the other hand, each of the plurality of pages may include the same background image. That is, each of the plurality of pages may have the same image used as the background displayed on the plurality of pages. Accordingly, the image quality of the regions other than the objects included in the plurality of pages may be the same among the plurality of pages.

In this manner, in a state in which the first page is output, a predetermined type of touch may be applied to the touch screen (S320).

In addition, if the predetermined type of touch is applied, the controller may change at least a portion of the first page to a second page of the plurality of pages (S330).

For example, as shown in the second figure of FIG. 3B, a drag touch in which a continuous touch input first applied to a first point on the touch screen 351 is canceled at a second point different from the first point, This may be a tap input for keeping the contact on a short time.

In this way, when the touch of the preset method is applied, the controller 180 can change at least a part of the first page to a second page different from the first page among the plurality of pages. Here, at least a part of the first page may be determined based on the touch of the predetermined method. For example, when the predetermined type of touch is a drag-touch input, the controller 180 may determine at least a portion corresponding to an area to which the drag-touch input is applied on the first page. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the controller 180 may determine an area within a predetermined distance from the point where the tap input is applied as at least a part of the first page when the tap input is applied by the touch of the predetermined method .

In addition, the control unit 180 may change at least one object included in the first page to an object included in the second page while maintaining the background image output from the touch screen (S340).

More specifically, the control unit 180 may extract an object related to at least a part of the first page among at least one object included in the first page. That is, the control unit 180 may extract an object included in at least a part of the first page among the at least one object included in the first page. The extracted object may be changed to an object included in the second page.

Here, the second page may be a page including an object associated with at least one object included in at least a part of the first page. In one example, if at least one object included in at least a portion of the first page includes an icon of a first application associated with a particular function, the second page includes an icon of a second application associated with the particular function . As another example, when at least a part of the first page includes a graphic object corresponding to specific information, the second page may include a graphic object displaying information related to the specific information, An icon of the application corresponding to the function that can be executed. As another example, when at least one object included in at least a part of the first page is an object having an order based on a specific criterion, the second page may correspond to the next order of the objects included in the first page Object. ≪ / RTI >

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the second page may be determined as various pages including an object related to at least one object existing on the first page even if the second page is not included in at least a part of the first page.

 In addition, the controller 180 may control the touch screen so that the object included in the second page determined in this manner is output at the same position as the position at which the object before the change is displayed on the first page. Also, the output of the background image output on the touch screen 151 can be maintained in the changed output of the object. That is, the control unit 180 controls the touch screen 151 so that the image quality (brightness, resolution, etc.) of an area excluding the area where the object is output is maintained while changing the object on the first page and outputting have.

3B, when the predetermined touch (drag-touch) is applied to at least a part of the first page, the controller 180 controls the object 10 included in the first page To the object 13 of the second page. Here, the object 20 included in the second page may be an icon of an application having a function (messenger function) similar to the object 10 included in the first page. In addition, the control unit 180 may change the object 10 included in the first page to the object 13 included in the second page so that the background image 30 of the first page is the same The touch screen 351 can be controlled to maintain the output state.

As described above, the mobile terminal according to the present invention is configured such that, in a state in which one page out of a plurality of pages including at least one object is outputted, only the objects included in the one page Can be changed and output. Also, even if the object is changed and output, the output state for the remaining region (background image) excluding the region in which the object is output can be maintained. Accordingly, the user can be provided with a plurality of objects distributed on a plurality of pages without switching the output page. In addition, even if the plurality of objects are continuously provided, the user can visually enjoy less fatigue by maintaining the output of the background image.

Meanwhile, when a plurality of objects are included in the second page, the control unit 180 may select an object to be changed and an object included in the first page according to the touch of the predetermined method. More specifically, the control unit 180 determines whether or not the second page (e.g., the first page) is displayed on the basis of the direction and speed of the touch of the predetermined type, the time at which the touch was held, It is possible to select an object to be changed and output. Hereinafter, various embodiments related to selecting an object to be changed and output on the second page based on the touch of the predetermined method will be described.

FIGS. 4A and 4B are views illustrating an embodiment in which an object to be changed is selected based on a direction of a touch of the preset method.

Referring to FIG. 4A, the first page is output to the touch screen 151, and the first page includes objects 1 and 2 corresponding to image information. In addition, the background image 40 may be included in an area of the first page that does not include the objects 1 and 2.

Here, as shown in FIG. 4A (b), the predetermined type of drag-touch may be applied to at least a part of the first page in a first direction (a direction toward the lower end of the touch screen 151). In this case, the controller 180 may select a page including an object related to the same kind of information (for example, image information) as an object included in at least a part of the first page among the plurality of pages as a second page .

4A, the control unit 180 may extract the object 1 included in at least a part of the first page, Can be changed to the object (3) corresponding to the first direction. In this case, the controller 180 may control the touch screen 151 so that the background image 40 can maintain its output state on the touch screen 151. In addition, the controller 180 may maintain the output of the object 2 not included in at least a part of the first page.

Alternatively, the predetermined type of drag-touch may be applied to at least a part of the first page in a second direction (a direction toward the upper end of the touch screen 151). In this case, the control unit 180 may change the object (4) corresponding to the second direction among the objects included in the second page to the object (1) included in at least a part of the first page and output have. Likewise, the controller 180 may control the touch screen 151 to maintain the output of the background image 40 in the inter-object change output.

As described above, according to the present invention, as the direction of the touch of the preset method is changed among the objects included in the second page, the user changes the object into different objects, so that the user can selectively output the desired object.

In addition, the present invention can be applied to a wearable device (watch type terminal) other than the mobile terminal of the type shown in FIG. 4A, and the embodiments to be described hereinafter will be described with reference to the watch type terminal.

In a case where an icon of an application corresponding to a specific function is included in at least a part of the first page, the controller 180 may select a page including the object corresponding to the information related to the specific function as the second page . Here, the information related to the specific function may mean event information generated in association with the specific function, sub menu information related to the execution of the specific function, and information stored in association with the specific function.

In this case, as shown in the first figure of FIG. 4B, a first page is displayed on the touch screen 351, and icons (14, 15, 16) of applications corresponding to different functions are displayed on the first page . In addition, the background image 30 may be included in an area that does not include the icons 14, 15, and 16 of the applications corresponding to the different functions. At this time, as shown in the second figure of FIG. 4B, a dragging touch may be applied to at least a part of the first page in a predetermined direction (for example, clockwise direction) by a predetermined type of touch.

In this case, the control unit 180 may analyze an application corresponding to an icon included in at least a part of the first page among the plurality of pages. Then, a page including information related to a function corresponding to the application (for example, sub menu information of the function) can be selected as the second page. When the second page is selected, the controller 180 displays an object corresponding to the lower menu information corresponding to the first direction (e.g., a menu icon or submenu for outputting a submenu screen) An image object including related information, etc.) with an icon included in at least a part of the first page.

4B, the object 14 included in the first page includes an image object including today's schedule information corresponding to the first sub-menu of the application corresponding to the object (schedule management application) 14a. In this case, the control unit 180 controls the touch screen 351 to maintain the output state of the background image 30 and the remaining objects 15 and 16, even if the image object 14a is changed and output. can do.

If the predetermined type of touch is re-applied in the specific direction in a state that the image object 14a is changed and output, the controller 180 controls the object 14 including the first sub- (Schedule information of the afternoon three o'clock) 14b related to the second sub-menu information of the output object 14a.

That is, when a touch is applied to an object included in the first page in a specific direction, the mobile terminal according to the present invention outputs an object corresponding to the sub menu information of the information included in the previously output object on the second page . At this time, the sub menu information corresponding to the superordinate concept among the plurality of sub menu information can be gradually selected and outputted according to the continuous application of the specific direction.

On the other hand, although not shown in the drawing, an object corresponding to upper menu information of information included in the previously output object may be output based on a touch applied in a direction opposite to the specific direction. In this manner, when an icon of an application related to a specific function is output on the first page, the user can output an object including lower menu information or upper menu information related to the execution of the specific function by differently applying the direction of the touch have.

On the other hand, the controller 180 can select an object that is changed and output on the second page based on the speed at which the touch of the preset method is applied. This will be described with reference to FIG.

That is, the controller 180 may select an icon of the second application having a function (e.g., a messenger function) similar to the function of the first application, corresponding to the first rate.

5 (c), the controller 180 controls the icon 10 included in at least a part of the first page to be displayed on the icon of the second application 30 while maintaining the output state of the background image 30, (13). In this case, the controller 180 may control the touch screen 351 such that the icon 13 of the second application is displayed at the same position as the icon 10 of the first application.

Alternatively, as in FIG. 5 (d), a drag touch input having a second speed may be applied to at least a portion of the first page in the predetermined manner. In this case, the controller 180 may select an icon corresponding to the second rate among the icons included in the second page. That is, the controller 180 may select an icon of the third application having a function completely different from the function corresponding to the icon 10 of the first application, as an icon corresponding to the second speed. 5 (e), the control unit 180 may change the icon 14 of the schedule management application having the function different from the messenger function to the icon 10 and output it.

As described above, the user is provided with the convenience of selectively outputting different objects by applying a touch to at least a part of the first page at different speeds.

Meanwhile, the controller 180 may change at least a part of the first page to the second page corresponding to the area to which the touch of the predetermined type is applied. This will be described with reference to Figs. 6A and 6B.

FIG. 6A is a diagram illustrating an embodiment in which a part of an object included in the first page is changed based on a region to which the touch is applied, and FIG. 6B is a diagram illustrating an example in which, And a plurality of objects included therein are changed.

6A, the touch screen 351 includes graphic objects 20, 21, and 22 corresponding to different image information on the first page including the background image 30, Is output. Here, as shown in the second figure of FIG. 6A, the predetermined type of touch may be applied to a part of the object 20 included in the first page.

In this case, the controller 180 selects a second page including an object related to the object included in the first page, and selects a portion of the object 20 corresponding to the area to which the touch is applied on the first page To the second page. More specifically, the controller 180 may select an object included in the second page and an object included in the first page by changing the object included in the first page. A portion of the object 20 corresponding to the region to which the touch is applied may be changed to a portion of the object selected on the second page. 6A, a portion of the object 20 is changed to a portion 23a of the object selected in the second page, and the remaining portion 20a of the object 20 is displayed on the first page. Can be maintained.

6A, a part of the object of the second page, which is changed from the part of the object 20 included in the first page, is output to the first page The touch screen 351 can be controlled to be displayed so as to be distinguished from the remaining portion 20a of the object included in the touch screen 351. [

Thus, the user can change the output state of only a part of the objects included in the first page by adjusting the touch applied to the touch screen. That is, in addition to changing the objects included in the first page on an object-by-object basis, the present invention can change a part of an object so that the user can quickly check information included in a part of the object Convenience.

Alternatively, the area corresponding to the predetermined type of touch may include a plurality of objects included in the first page. 6B, the background image 30 and the objects 20, 21, 22, and 23 corresponding to different image information are output to the touch screen 351, A set touch can be applied.

Here, the touch may be applied as a drag input of a predetermined type of touch, as shown in the second figure of FIG. 6B. In this case, the controller 180 can grasp, on the touch screen 351, a point where the touch is firstly applied according to the drag input and a direction in which the touch is successively applied. In addition, when the touch is stopped at one point on the touch screen, the position of the one point can be grasped.

If the direction in which the touch is successively applied corresponds to a specific direction (e.g., clockwise), the controller 180 controls the touch panel 180 to move along the clockwise direction The object included in one page can be gradually changed to the object included in the second page. In addition, among the objects arranged along the clockwise direction at the point where the touch is first applied, up to the object corresponding to the position of the one point can be set as the range of the object to be changed corresponding to the touch.

Accordingly, the objects 20 and 21 included in the range corresponding to the touch can be changed to the objects 24 and 25 included in the second page, respectively, as shown in the second figure of FIG. 6B. Also, the controller 180 may control the touch screen 351 such that the changed objects 24 and 25 are displayed on the first page in a distinguishable manner.

When the touch which has been stopped at the one point is moved again and is again applied in the direction corresponding to the clockwise direction, the controller 180 gradually changes the objects arranged in the clockwise direction with respect to the one point . Here, when the touch is stopped at a specific point again as shown in the third figure of FIG. 6B, up to an object corresponding to the specific point position can be designated as a new change range. Accordingly, the controller 180 changes the remaining objects 22 and 23 output on the first page to the objects 26 and 27 included in the second page, as shown in the fourth figure of FIG. 6B Can be output.

In this manner, a plurality of objects included in the first page can be changed at once by adjusting the direction or position of the touch. In addition, since the touch for changing the plurality of objects is not applied to each of the objects, the user can easily change the output state for a plurality of objects because the touch can be controlled by adjusting the area to be applied.

Hereinafter, when a page including an application icon is displayed as an object in the watch-type terminal according to the present invention, a user interface for executing the function using the icon of the application will be briefly introduced.

FIG. 7A is a diagram showing an embodiment related to executing an application corresponding to a specific icon, and FIG. 7B is a diagram illustrating an example of changing an icon corresponding to a specific icon FIG.

First, referring to the first figure of FIG. 7A, a first page including objects 10, 11, and 12 corresponding to respective icons of an application may be output to the touch screen 351. 7A, when the drag input for moving one of the icons 10 toward the center point of the touch screen 351 is applied, the controller 180 displays the icon 10). ≪ / RTI >

As shown in the third figure of FIG. 7A, the objects 10a, 10b, and 10c corresponding to the respective sub-menus included in the application corresponding to the icon 10 are displayed on the object (11, 12). In this case, the controller 180 may maintain the output of the background image 30 of the first page. Here, if a touch input is applied to any one of the objects 10a corresponding to the lower menu, the controller 180 transmits the lower menu information corresponding to the object 10a to which the touch input is applied, (351).

7A, the controller 180 may control the touch screen 351 such that the first page is changed to the screen 301 including the lower menu information.

On the other hand, when one of the icons 10a, 10b, and 10c corresponding to one of the icons 10 is displayed on the first page, A touch can be applied to the touch panel 10. That is, when a touch is applied to the icon 10 located at the center of the touch screen 351 as shown in the third diagram of FIG. 7B, the controller 180 controls the icon 10 to function corresponding to the icon It can be changed to the icon 13 of another application having a similar function.

That is, as shown in the fourth figure of FIG. 7B, the controller 180 may output the icon 13 of the other application in place of the icon 10. Then, objects (10a, 10b, 10c) corresponding to the respective sub-menus included in the application corresponding to the icon (10) are displayed in association with the objects (13a, 13b, 13c ) And output it. Also, the output state of the background image 30 of the first page can be maintained in the change output of the objects.

Accordingly, the user can easily provide a screen according to the execution of a specific object, in addition to changing the desired object using the user interface.

A mobile terminal and its control method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a step of displaying a page including at least one object on at least one page of the current page, The user can easily confirm the information about the object without switching the page. In addition, since the output of the background image of the page currently being output is maintained in the change output of the object, the user can feel the fatigue of the eye even if the user continuously changes the object and outputs it.

The present invention described above can be embodied as computer-readable codes on a medium on which a program is recorded. The computer readable medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer readable medium include a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state disk (SSD), a silicon disk drive (SDD), a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, , And may also be implemented in the form of a carrier wave (e.g., transmission over the Internet). Also, the computer may include a control unit 180 of the terminal. Accordingly, the above description should not be construed in a limiting sense in all respects and should be considered illustrative. The scope of the present invention should be determined by rational interpretation of the appended claims, and all changes within the scope of equivalents of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.
