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.

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 arranged to scan the motion of the object to be sensed 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 .

[ The audio output unit 152 may include a receiver, a speaker, a buzzer, and the like.

The haptic module 153 generates various tactile effects that the user can feel. A typical example of the haptic effect generated by the haptic module 153 may be vibration. The intensity and pattern of the vibration generated in the haptic module 153 can be controlled by the user's selection or the setting of the control unit.

When the distance between the main body 100 and the external electronic device 200 is within the second distance in a state where the idle screen 411 is output from the external electronic device 200, A control command related to outputting the screen information 410 again through the wireless communication unit 110 may be transmitted to the external electronic device 200. In the external electronic device 200, when the control command is received, the screen information 410 may be output.

Here, the screen information 410 may be screen information output from the external electronic device 200 before the idle screen 411 is output.

The output of the idle screen 411 from the external electronic device 200 is controlled based on whether the distance between the mobile terminal 100 and the external electronic device 200 is within a predetermined second distance Examples have been described.

Meanwhile, in another embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to control the output of the idle screen 411 from the external electronic device 200 based on the attitude of the main body 100.

Specifically, the main body 100 may include a sensing unit 140 for sensing the direction of gravity with respect to the main body. The sensing unit 140 may include at least one of an acceleration sensor, a magnetic sensor, a G-sensor, a gyroscope sensor, and a motion sensor .

Here, when there are a plurality of the external electronic devices 200, the external electronic device 200a to which the image information 510 is to be output may be preset.

In addition, the distance between the main body 100 and the external electronic device 200 may not be within a predetermined first distance. That is, even if the main body 100 is far away from the external electronic device 200, when new image information is stored in the memory of the main body 100, the image information 510 May be transmitted to the predetermined external electronic device 200a.

Here, the control unit 180 can transmit only the image information satisfying the predetermined condition among the new image information stored in the main body 100 to the predetermined external electronic device 200a through the wireless communication unit 110. [

For example, the image satisfying the predetermined condition may be an image including a predetermined object image. The control unit 180 can specify a subject image included in the image through a predetermined face recognition algorithm. More specifically, the face recognition algorithm specifies a subject image through a ratio of the eyes, nose, mouth distance, etc., which are main parts of the face.

Specifically, the second screen information 740 may include the image object 730 and the first screen information 710.

At least a portion of the first screen information 710 may overlap the image object 730, as shown in FIG. 7 (c). Alternatively, the first screen information 710 and the image object 730 may be arranged on the second screen information 740 without overlapping each other.

In addition, when the user request is executed by executing the application, the first screen information 710 may be an execution screen of another application that was output to the touch screen 151 immediately before the application is executed.

Alternatively, although not shown, the user request may be received on the basis of a touch of a predetermined type being applied to the touch screen 151 in a state in which the first screen information 710 is output to the touch screen 151 It is possible.

Meanwhile, the controller 180 may control the touch screen 151 such that a display for emphasizing the selected image object among the plurality of image objects 730 is output. In other words, the image object 730a to which the touch is applied may have a different color, frame, transparency, and the like from the untouched image object 730b. Through this, the user can once again confirm whether selection has been made for the intended image object to select.

The control unit 180 may generate information related to the relative position between the external electronic devices 200 through the series of determination processes. That is, the information related to the relative position between the external electronic devices 200 may be interpreted as information related to the arrangement order of the external electronic devices 200.
