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 uses 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, Detection.
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 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.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
4, the controller 180 connects short-range wireless communication between the mobile terminal 100 and the wearable devices 200 and 300 according to a user command or the like (S405). The short-range wireless communication may be Bluetooth communication, Zigbee communication, NFC communication, infrared communication, UWB communication, or the like, but is not limited thereto.
In the state where the short range wireless communication is connected, the control unit 180 displays a preview image on the display unit 151, which previews the image to be photographed through the camera 121, when the camera mode is entered (S410, S415). Accordingly, the user can position the subject to be photographed in the preview image.
The control unit 180 photographs the preview image displayed on the display unit 151 and stores the preview image in the memory 170 and then displays the captured image on the display unit 151 at steps S420 and S425.
The control unit 180 requests the wearable device 200 or 300, which is associated with the measured heartbeat data or brain wave data, while the captured image is displayed. The control unit 180 links the heartbeat data or brain wave data received from the wearable devices 200 and 300 to the memory 170 and stores the linked data in the memory 170 (S430). Meanwhile, the storage of the heartbeat data or EEG data can be performed in the gallery mode as well as the camera mode.
That is, when short-range wireless communication is connected, the control unit 180 displays an image list screen including a plurality of thumbnail images on the display unit 151 at steps S435 and S440.
If a specific thumbnail image is selected from the image list screen, the controller 180 displays the image corresponding to the selected thumbnail image on the display unit 151 (S445, S450).
The control unit 180 requests the wearable device 200 or 300, which is associated with the measured heartbeat data or EEP data, while the corresponding image is displayed. The control unit 180 links the heartbeat data or brain wave data received from the wearable devices 200 and 300 to the memory 170 and stores the data in the memory 170 (S455).
Then, the controller 180 analyzes the heartbeat data stored in the memory 170 to determine a heartbeat pattern of the data (S460). For example, the controller 180 may calculate an average value of heartbeat data linked to a specific image and determine a heartbeat pattern of the data. At this time, the heartbeat pattern corresponds to the emotional state of the user. The controller 180 classifies the image linked to the heartbeat data according to the determined heartbeat pattern (S465).
On the other hand, when the biological signal received from the wearable device 300 is an EEG signal, the controller 180 may analyze the EEG data stored in the memory 170 to determine an EEG pattern of the corresponding data. Similarly, the EEG pattern corresponds to the emotional state of the user. The control unit 180 may classify the images linked to the brain wave data according to the determined brain wave pattern.
Data on the heartbeat / brain wave pattern collected in the above-described processes, data on the emotion state corresponding to each pattern, and data on images belonging to each pattern are stored in a look- up table.
On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when a camera application or a gallery application is executed, bio-signals are acquired through an interlocked wearable device, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that, in addition to the above applications, a biometric signal can be acquired through the wearable device even when applications that can display a predetermined image on the display unit 151 are executed.
FIGS. 5 and 6 are diagrams for explaining the operation of the mobile terminal for converting the image into the emotion category based on the heartbeat data received through the interlocked smart watch in the image view mode.
Referring to FIG. 5, the mobile terminal 100 may execute a camera application according to a user command. At this time, it is assumed that the mobile terminal 100 is interlocked with the smart watch 200.
The mobile terminal 100 may display on the display unit 151 a preview image 510 that shows an image to be photographed through the camera 121 when the camera application is executed.
When the photographing icon 520 is selected in a state that the preview image 510 is displayed, the mobile terminal 100 can display the preview image 510 and then display the image 530 on the display unit 151 have. The user can feel various emotions while viewing the shot image 530 displayed on the display unit 151. [
The mobile terminal 100 may request the smart watch 200 that is interlocked with the measured heartbeat data while the corresponding image 530 is displayed. In response to the request of the mobile terminal 100, the smart watch 200 may measure the heart rate of the user through the heart rate sensor and transmit the measured heart rate to the mobile terminal 100.
The mobile terminal 100 may link the heartbeat data received from the smart watch 200 to the captured image 530 and store the heartbeat data in the memory 170. [ On the other hand, the storage of the heartbeat data can be performed not only in the camera mode but also in the gallery mode.
For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the mobile terminal 100 may display an image list screen 610 including a plurality of thumbnail images on the display unit 151 when the gallery application is executed.
When a specific thumbnail image 620 is selected from the image list screen 610, the mobile terminal 100 may display the image 630 corresponding to the selected thumbnail image 620 on the display unit 151 .
The mobile terminal 100 may request the smart watch 200 that is interlocked with the measured heartbeat data while the corresponding image 330 is displayed. In response to the request of the mobile terminal 100, the smart watch 200 may measure the heart rate of the user through the heart rate sensor and transmit the measured heart rate to the mobile terminal 100. The mobile terminal 100 may link the heartbeat data received from the smart watch 200 with the image 630 and store the heartbeat data in the memory 170. [
Then, the mobile terminal 100 may analyze the heartbeat data stored in the memory 170 to determine a heartbeat pattern of the data. Here, the heartbeat pattern may be classified according to the waveform, amplitude, or period of the heartbeat signal.
For example, as shown in Fig. 7A, the heartbeat pattern can be classified according to the waveform of the heartbeat signal. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the heartbeat pattern may be classified according to whether the maximum heartbeat size is above or below the reference value and whether the minimum heartbeat size is above or below the reference value. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7 (c), the heartbeat pattern may be divided according to whether the heartbeat period is above or below the reference value.
These heartbeat patterns correspond to the emotional state of the user. Accordingly, when the heartbeat pattern is determined, the mobile terminal 100 can classify the image linked to the heartbeat data according to the determined heartbeat pattern (i.e., emotion state).
In the image view mode, the mobile terminal 100 can construct the emotion category database as shown in (d) of FIG. 7 by repeating this series of processes. The emotion category database stores data on heartbeat patterns collected through the above-described processes, data on emotion states corresponding to the respective patterns, and data on images belonging to each pattern in the form of a look-up table .
Meanwhile, in another embodiment, when the mobile terminal 100 is interfaced with the smart glass 300 or the HMD instead of the smart watch 200, the mobile terminal 100 displays the brain wave data received from the smart glass 300 or the HMD in the image view mode And may be linked to the image and stored in the memory 170.
The mobile terminal 100 can analyze the brain wave data stored in the memory 170 and determine the brain wave pattern of the corresponding data. As shown in FIG. 8A, the EEG pattern can be classified according to the waveform, amplitude, or period of an EEG signal.
This EEG pattern corresponds to the emotional state of the user. Accordingly, when the brain wave pattern is determined, the mobile terminal 100 can classify the image linked to the brain wave data according to the determined brain wave pattern (i.e., emotion state).
Likewise, in the image view mode, the mobile terminal 100 can construct an emotion category database as shown in FIG. 8 (b) by repeatedly performing this series of processes. The emotion category database stores data on EEG patterns collected through the above processes, data on emotion states corresponding to each pattern, and data on images belonging to each pattern in the form of a look-up table .

Meanwhile, in another embodiment, the control unit 180 may display a pop-up window on the display unit 151 to inquire whether to enter the emotion gallery view mode when displaying the image list screen. When the "YES" icon is selected through the pop-up window, the control unit 180 may perform a function of recommending an emotion image using the heartbeat signal received through the interlocked wearable device 200, 300.
More specifically, when the emotional gallery view mode is selected, the controller 180 requests the wearable devices 200 and 300 that are associated with the user's heartbeat data and receives the heartbeat data (S920).
The control unit 180 analyzes the received heartbeat data to determine a heartbeat pattern of the corresponding data, and inferences the current emotion state of the user according to the determined heartbeat pattern (S925). At this time, the control unit 180 can determine the heartbeat pattern of the corresponding data by comparing the received heartbeat data with the data stored in the emotion category database.
Also, the control unit 180 acquires information on a plurality of images belonging to the determined heartbeat pattern from the emotion category database. Then, the control unit 180 displays a recommended image list screen composed of the plurality of images on the display unit 151 (S930). At this time, the plurality of images may be displayed in a thumbnail form.
If a specific thumbnail image is selected in the recommended image list screen (S935), the control unit 180 displays a recommended image corresponding to the selected thumbnail image on the display unit 151 (S940).
In addition, when displaying the recommended image, the control unit 180 can reproduce the predetermined music file in the background corresponding to the emotion state of the user. In addition, the control unit 180 can sequentially display the next images of the selected image on the display unit 151 without the user's flicking input.
If the user's image sharing command is received in step S945, the control unit 180 uploads the recommended image and information on the heartbeat data linked to the image to a specific social network service (SNS) Or transmits it to another terminal (S950).
Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, it is exemplified that the emotion image is recommended using the heartbeat signal measured in the interlocked wearable device, but it is not limited thereto, and the emotion image can be recommended using the brain wave signal in addition to the heartbeat signal. .
As described above, the mobile terminal according to the present invention automatically recommends an image corresponding to a user's emotional state using the bio-signal measured in the interlocked wearable device, thereby providing a new gallery view mode can do.
