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 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.

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, 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.

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 sensor (for example, a CCD, a CMOS, etc.), a photo sensor (or an image sensor), and a laser 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. 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 display unit 151 displays (outputs) information processed by the mobile terminal 100. For example, the display unit 151 may display execution screen information of an application program driven by the mobile terminal 100 or UI (User Interface) and GUI (Graphic User Interface) information according to the execution screen information .

Also, the display unit 151 may be configured as a stereoscopic display unit for displaying a stereoscopic image.

Fig.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIGS. 4A through 4C illustrate a method of generating and transmitting user emotion information according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

First, the controller 180 detects the user's biometric information through the biometric sensor (e.g., fingerprint recognition sensor) (S11). The biometric sensor (for example, a fingerprint recognition sensor) may detect not only a user fingerprint but also a user's body temperature (temperature), a user's touch pressure, a pulse (heartbeat), and the like.

The fingerprint recognition sensor may be disposed in a user input unit (130 in FIG. 10) provided on the rear surface 103 of the terminal. The user input unit 130 may be a touch sensor in which the fingerprint sensor is overlapped. As another example, the user input unit 130 may be a push key (or a hardware key or a physical key) in which the fingerprint recognition sensor is superimposed. The control unit 180 may output the secured information when the finger in contact with the fingerprint recognition sensor coincides with (or corresponds to) the fingerprint information of the user who can access the secured information. In other words, when the fingerprint of the user sensed through the fingerprint recognition sensor corresponds to the fingerprint information of the user stored previously, the control unit 180 may output the secured information. On the other hand, the time at which the fingerprint is recognized through the guide information and the fingerprint recognition sensor is not constrained to the subsequent relationship.

As another example, the fingerprint recognition sensor may be formed on the touch screen 151. [ For example, the fingerprint recognition sensor may be arranged to overlap with at least a part of the touch screen 151. [ Otherwise, a fingerprint recognition sensor may be provided in the touch screen 151. In this case, the control unit 180 can recognize the finger of the user touching the touch screen 151, that is, the fingerprint of the user touching the touch screen 151, through the touch screen 151 Do.

4A, the control unit 180 controls the display unit 151 in a state where the user touches the biometric sensor 4-1 (for example, a fingerprint sensor) (touch state) (For example, a fingerprint sensor) (4-2) is selected by the user when the first contact information (e.g., phone call icon, phone call menu, etc.) 1, the user's fingerprint, temperature, pulse (heartbeat), pressure, and the like are detected. When the user's fingerprint detected through the biometric sensor (for example, fingerprint recognition sensor) 4-1 is the same as the preset fingerprint, the controller 180 controls the selected first contact information 4-2, (External terminal) corresponding to the mobile terminal.

The controller 180 generates user emotion information corresponding to the detected biometric information (S12). For example, when the user presses the call button while the biometric sensor (for example, fingerprint recognition sensor) 4-1 is pressed, the control unit 180 detects the user's biometric information, An image or the like corresponding to the user's emotion information.

4B, the controller 180 controls the display unit 151 in a state where the user presses the biometric sensor 4-1 (for example, a fingerprint sensor) (Body temperature), a pulse (heartbeat), a temperature of the user's body sensor (heart rate sensor) 4-2 and the like, when the first contact information (e.g., telephone call icon, (4-1) (for example, a fingerprint recognition sensor) as the biometric information, sets a predetermined ring tone, a predetermined image (4-3) corresponding to the detected biometric information, And generates it as emotion information.

The control unit 180 displays menus (such as a ring tone play menu and a ring tone play pause menu) 4-4 for previewing the generated ring tone on the display unit 151 together with the image 4-3 You may.

The controller 180 transmits the user emotion information to an external (opposite) mobile terminal (S13). For example, when the user presses the call button while the biometric sensor (for example, fingerprint recognition sensor) 4-1 is pressed, the control unit 180 detects the user's biometric information, An image or the like corresponding to the user emotion information as user emotion information, and transmits the generated user emotion information to the corresponding mobile terminal.

4C, the controller 180 controls the display unit 151 when the user presses the biometric sensor 4-1 (for example, a fingerprint sensor) (4-2) corresponding to the detected biometric information is selected by the user, the preset ring tone corresponding to the detected biometric information, the preset image (4-3) or the like corresponding to the detected biometric information as user emotion information When the telephone dialer 4-5 of FIG. 4B is selected, the generated user emotion information is transmitted to an external terminal (mobile terminal) corresponding to the first contact information.

The external terminal (mobile terminal) displays the telephone call screen 4-6 and outputs the user emotion information including the transmitted ring tone, the image 4-3, and the like. For example, when the telephone dial icon (menu) (4-5) is selected, the generated ring tone is outputted from the telephone (mobile terminal) of the recipient, and the name of the ring tone and the image (4-3) Is displayed on the telephone (mobile terminal).

When the ring tone is received, the external terminal (mobile terminal) may automatically output the received ring tone instead of the ring tone set in the sound profile, or output the ring tone according to a user request.

5A and 5B are exemplary diagrams illustrating a method of registering user emotion information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

5A, the controller 180 transmits the user's emotion information to the external terminal. When the telephone conversation ends, the ring tone in the generated user's emotion information is always transmitted to the external terminal corresponding to the first contact information (Stored) to be registered (stored) to be transmitted to the mobile terminal (mobile terminal), or to be registered (stored) so that a preset ring tone is always transmitted to an external terminal (mobile terminal) corresponding to the first contact information (5-1), and displays the generated window (5-1) on the display unit (151) automatically or in response to a user request.

When the ring tone in the generated user emotion information is registered (stored), the controller 180 controls the registered ring tone to correspond to the first contact information each time the external terminal (mobile terminal) corresponding to the first contact information makes a call To the external terminal (mobile terminal). On the other hand, when the predetermined ringtone is registered (stored), the controller 180 stores the registered ringtone, which is registered in advance, in the first contact information every time the external terminal (mobile terminal) corresponding to the first contact information makes a call And automatically transmits it to the corresponding external terminal (mobile terminal).

5B, the external terminal receives the user emotion information from the caller's mobile terminal 100, and when the call is terminated, whenever the caller receives a call from the mobile terminal of the caller, A window for inquiring whether to register (store) the ring tone in the received user emotion information so that the ring tone in the information is always outputted or whether to register (store) the preset ring tone so that the preset ring tone is always outputted , Popup window) 5-2, and displays the generated window 5-2 on the display unit 151 automatically or in response to a user request.

When the ring tone in the received user emotion information is registered (stored), the controller 180 automatically outputs the registered ring tone each time the caller gets a call. On the other hand, when the preset ring tones are registered (stored), the controller 180 automatically outputs the registered preset ring tones each time a call is received from the caller. The external terminal may store (register) not only the ring tone in the user's emotion information but also the image 4-3 corresponding to the biometric information, automatically or according to a user's request.

6A through 6C illustrate another method for generating user emotion information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The fingerprint is recognized by the biometric sensor 4-1 (for example, a fingerprint recognition sensor) of the mobile terminal 100 and at the same time the fingerprint is recognized by the external terminal (mobile terminal) 100a, It is assumed that the fingerprint is recognized by the biometric sensor (for example, fingerprint sensor) of the external terminal (mobile terminal) 100a, Detects the user's biometric information of the mobile terminal 100 and receives the user's biometric information of the external terminal (mobile terminal) 100a from the external terminal (mobile terminal) 100a.
