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.

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 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.

In addition, the 3D thumbnail image may generate a left image thumbnail and a right image thumbnail from the left image and right image of the original image frame, respectively, and may be generated as one image as they are combined. In general, a thumbnail means a reduced image or a reduced still image. The left image thumbnail and the right image thumbnail generated in this way are displayed on the screen with a difference of the left and right distance by the depth corresponding to the parallax between the left image and the right image, thereby exhibiting a stereoscopic spatial feeling.

As shown, the display unit 251 may be configured to be deformable by an external force. The deformation may be at least one of warping, bending, folding, twisting, and curling of the display portion 251. The deformable display portion 251 may be referred to as a " flexible display portion ". Here, the flexible display unit 251 may include both a general flexible display, e-paper, and combinations thereof. In general, mobile terminal 200 may include features of mobile terminal 100 of Figures 1A-1C or similar features.

A typical flexible display refers to a sturdy display that is lightweight and does not break easily, such as paper, formed on a thin, flexible substrate that can flex, bend, fold, twist, or curl like a conventional flat panel display.

In addition, the electronic paper is a display technology to which general ink characteristics are applied, and the point that the reflected light is used is different from the conventional flat panel display. The electronic paper can be changed by using a twist ball or electrophoresis (electrophoresis) using a capsule.

In a state in which the flexible display portion 251 is not deformed (for example, a state having an infinite radius of curvature, hereinafter referred to as a first state), the display area of the flexible display portion 251 is flat. In the first state, the display area may be a curved surface in a state deformed by an external force (for example, a state having a finite radius of curvature, hereinafter referred to as a second state). As shown in the figure, the information displayed in the second state may be time information output on the curved surface. Such visual information is realized by independently controlling the emission of a sub-pixel arranged in a matrix form. The unit pixel means a minimum unit for implementing one color.

The flexible display unit 251 may be placed in a bent state (for example, a vertical state or a left-to-right bent state) instead of a flat state in the first state. In this case, if an external force is applied to the flexible display portion 251, the flexible display portion 251 may be deformed into a flat state (or a less bent state) or a more bent state.

Meanwhile, the flexible display unit 251 may be combined with a touch sensor to implement a flexible touch screen. When a touch is made to the flexible touch screen, the control unit 180 (see FIG. 1A) can perform control corresponding to the touch input. The flexible touch screen may be configured to sense the touch input in the first state as well as the second state.

Meanwhile, the mobile terminal 200 according to the present modification may be provided with a deformation detecting means capable of detecting deformation of the flexible display unit 251. The deformation detecting means may be included in the sensing unit 140 (see FIG. 1A).

The deformation detecting unit may be provided in the flexible display unit 251 or the case 201 to sense information related to the deformation of the flexible display unit 251. Here, the information related to the deformation may be the direction in which the flexible display unit 251 is deformed, the degree of deformation, the deformed position, the deformation time, and the acceleration at which the deformed flexible display unit 251 is restored, In addition, the flexible display unit 251 may be various information that can be detected due to the bending of the flexible display unit 251.

The control unit 180 may change the information displayed on the flexible display unit 251 or change the information displayed on the flexible display unit 251 based on the information related to the deformation of the flexible display unit 251, It is possible to generate a control signal for controlling the function of the controller.

Meanwhile, the mobile terminal 200 according to the present modification may include a case 201 that accommodates the flexible display unit 251. The case 201 may be configured to be deformable together with the flexible display unit 251 by an external force in consideration of the characteristics of the flexible display unit 251.

In addition, a battery (not shown) included in the mobile terminal 200 may be configured to be deformable together with the flexible display unit 251 due to an external force, taking into account the characteristics of the flexible display unit 251. In order to implement the battery, a stack and folding method in which battery cells are stacked on top of one another may be applied.

The state change of the flexible display unit 251 is not limited to an external force. For example, when the flexible display unit 251 has the first state, it may be transformed to the second state by a command of the user or the application.

Meanwhile, the mobile terminal can be extended to a wearable device that can be worn on the body beyond the dimension that the user mainly grasps and uses. These wearable devices include smart watch, smart glass, and head mounted display (HMD). Hereinafter, examples of a mobile terminal extended to a wearable device will be described.

The wearable device can be made to be able to exchange (or interlock) data with another mobile terminal 100. The short range communication module 114 can detect (or recognize) a wearable device capable of communicating with the mobile terminal 100. If the detected wearable device is a device authenticated to communicate with the mobile terminal 100, the control unit 180 may transmit at least a part of the data processed by the mobile terminal 100 to the wearable device 100 via the short- Lt; / RTI > Accordingly, the user can use the data processed by the mobile terminal 100 through the wearable device. For example, when a telephone is received in the mobile terminal 100, it is possible to perform a telephone conversation via the wearable device or to confirm the received message via the wearable device when a message is received in the mobile terminal 100 .

When the display unit 351 is implemented as a touch screen, the display unit 351 may function as a user input unit 323, so that the main body 301 may not have a separate key.

The band 302 is worn on the wrist so as to surround the wrist and can be formed of a flexible material for easy wearing. As an example, the band 302 may be formed of leather, rubber, silicone, synthetic resin, or the like.

The grip state will be described with reference to FIG.

As one embodiment of the present invention, the operations performed by the mobile terminal 100 or the wearable device 300 may be controlled by the respective controllers 180 and 380. [ However, for the sake of convenience, it is assumed that the mobile terminal 100 or the wearable device 300 executes / controls these operations collectively in the drawings and the following description.

Hereinafter, a method of providing information or contents in the mobile terminal or the wearable device according to whether the grip of the mobile terminal is in a state of wearing the wearable device through the embodiments of FIGS. 5 to 21 will be described . Here, the grip state corresponds to a state in which the mobile terminal is held in the user's hand, and particularly, a state in which the mobile terminal is held in the hand on which the wearable device is worn. 5 to 21, a description will be made of a method in which a wearable device and a device corresponding to a state in which a user is mainly using or actively using the wearable device provide information to the wearer as a main device . That is, in the embodiments of Figs. 5 to 21, the main device may be changed in the wearable device and the mobile terminal according to the gesture input of the user.

5 to 10 illustrate an embodiment for outputting information on event occurrence in a wearable device or a mobile terminal, FIGS. 11 to 16 illustrate an embodiment for outputting health information in a wearable device or a mobile terminal, 17 to 19, an embodiment for outputting settlement information in a wearable device or a mobile terminal will be described.

On the other hand, in the embodiments of Figs. 5 to 21, it is assumed that the wearable device and the mobile terminal are in a paired state. Further, in the embodiments of Figs. 5 to 20, it is assumed that the wearable device is worn on the wearer's wrist.

About event occurrence Notification  offer

5 is a diagram illustrating an example of outputting information on an event occurrence in a mobile terminal and a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

It is assumed that the mobile terminal and the wearable device are paired in the embodiment of FIG. In the paired state, the mobile terminal and the wearable device perform a communication connection and can transmit / receive data in both directions. Further, in the embodiment of Fig. 5, it is assumed that the wearable device is worn on the wearer's wrist.

At least one of the mobile terminal and the wearable device may receive an event occurrence. Here, the generated event may correspond to an event indicating at least one application to indicate new information. For example, an event may correspond to a new message received in a message application, a phone received in a phone application, a new post uploaded in an SNS-related application, or the like.

At this time, the wearable device can control to output information 510 about the generated event. More specifically, in the embodiment of FIG. 5, the wearable device can overlay the notification 510a while outputting the lock screen. Although not shown in FIG. 5, when an event occurs, the wearable device may switch from the inactive state of the display unit to the active state to control to output information 510a about the occurrence of an event.

In addition, the information 510a output to the display unit 351 of the wearable device may correspond to a simple notification. Here, the simple notifications simply provide information about the generated event, for example, information provided through an icon or a small number of texts.

While providing the simple notification in the wearable device, the mobile terminal can control the display unit 151 to output information 510b about the generated event. More specifically, in the embodiment of FIG. 5, the mobile terminal may overlay information 510b on an event generated when the lock screen 520 is output. In addition, although not shown in FIG. 5, when an event occurs, the mobile terminal may transition from the inactive state to the active state, and may overlay information 510b on the lock screen. At this time, the notification 510b output to the display unit 151 of the mobile terminal may correspond to a detail no-registration. In addition, the detail notification provides detailed information on the generated event, and may include a sender, an icon, a message content, and the like.

In other words, when the wearable device is worn by the user and the mobile terminal is in the grip release state, the mobile terminal and the wearable device

And notify the generated events to the display units 151 and 351 of the respective devices at the same time.

6 is a diagram illustrating an example of checking an event generated when an input signal is sensed while information about an event generated in a mobile terminal and a wearable device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is output.

In the embodiment of Fig. 6, it is assumed that the wearable device is worn by the user and the mobile terminal is in the ungripped state. In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the description overlapping with the description in FIG. 5 will be omitted.

6, when the event occurs, the display unit 151 of the mobile terminal and the display unit 351 of the wearable device simultaneously control the information 610 and 620 about the occurrence of the event can do. At this time, the mobile terminal can sense the input signal 630 to the display unit 151. [ Herein, the input signal 630 may include various touch inputs such as a short touch, a long touch, a double touch, a multi-touch, a drag touch, and the like.

In this case, as shown in the second diagram of FIG. 6, the mobile terminal displays an application execution screen 650 related to the event occurrence information 620 on the display unit 151, Information can be output. At this time, the wearable device can output the preset content 640 to the display unit 351. That is, when the wearable device receives a signal indicating the output information of the application execution screen 650 related to the event generated on the display unit 151 of the mobile terminal, the wearable device can not output the notification to the display unit 351 Can be controlled. In addition, the wearable device can control to output predetermined content 640 such as a clock. This is because it is not necessary to continuously provide notifications or notification information of events generated in the remaining devices when confirming events generated by one of the plurality of connected devices.

7 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a mobile terminal is switched to a grip state while information about event occurrence is output in a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, referring to the first drawing of FIG. 7, the user wears the wearable device on his / her wrist, and the mobile terminal may correspond to a state of gripping. At this time, at least one of the mobile terminal and the wearable device can receive the occurrence of the event. In addition, as described above with reference to FIG. 5, each of the mobile terminal and the wearable device can control to output a notification indicating the generated event to the display unit.

At this time, the mobile terminal can be changed from the grip releasing state to the gripping state by the user. The grip state indicates that the mobile terminal is held in the user's hand. In this regard, there are various ways of sensing that the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state by the user. In the present invention, it can be assumed that the grip state is a state in which the wearable device holds the mobile terminal in the same hand as the wearer's hand.

The grip state may include a first grip state in which the display unit faces the user and a second grip state in which the display unit does not face the user. The distinction between the first grip state and the second grip state may be determined depending on whether or not the user's face or the like can be sensed by the camera provided on the front surface of the mobile terminal. In the embodiment of FIG. 7, the grip state is assumed to be the first grip state in which the user actively utilizes the mobile terminal.

As an example, in accordance with a predefined gesture input sensed at the wearable device and the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal can be switched to the grip state.

The wearable device may sense the first gesture input through the sensing unit. Here, the first gesture input may correspond to an input that rotates the direction of the wearable device toward the display unit in the opposite direction. In addition, the mobile terminal may sense the second gesture input through the sensing unit. Here, the second gesture input may correspond to an input for rotating the direction of the display portion of the mobile terminal in the opposite direction. That is, in this embodiment, the first gesture input sensed at the wearable device and the second gesture input sensed at the mobile terminal may simultaneously sense the gesture input rotating in the same direction. Also, the wearable device and the mobile terminal can sense that the same gesture input is sensed while each device is connected through data transmission / reception. Accordingly, the mobile terminal can be switched to the grip state.

As another example, depending on the grip pattern of the user being sensed in the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal may be switched to the grip state.

In the case of using the mobile terminal, the face on which the display part of the mobile terminal is positioned may be disposed on the upper side and facing the user. Accordingly, in a state in which the display unit is positioned on the upper side, the mobile terminal can be recognized as being held by the left or right hand according to a grip pattern sensed on the side of the mobile terminal. Further, in the present invention, it is assumed that the wearable device is worn by the user. Therefore, when the wearable device is recognized as being held by the finger of the worn hand, the mobile terminal can be switched to the grip state.

As another example, when the user's eyes are sensed through the camera provided on the front surface of the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal can be switched to the grip state.

When the mobile terminal is actively used by the user while being held by the user, the display unit of the mobile terminal may be positioned in front of the user's eyes. Accordingly, when the user's eyes are recognized through the camera provided on the front surface of the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal can be switched to the grip state.

In addition, if it is determined that the mobile terminal is in an active use state through various signals sensed by the mobile terminal or the wearable device, the mobile terminal can be switched to the grip state. Further, when the grip pattern sensed by the mobile terminal and a plurality of conditions in which the user's eyes are sensed are satisfied among the above-described embodiments, the mobile terminal may be switched to the grip state.

Referring to the second drawing of FIG. 7, when the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state, the mobile terminal can execute an application related to an event generated on the display unit 151 and output an execution screen 730. Here, the execution screen 730 may correspond to a screen showing detailed information on the notification indicating the generated event. For example, in the embodiment of FIG. 7, the execution screen 730 corresponds to a screen for outputting the sender of the received message and the contents of the entire message.

In this regard, when the wearable device is worn by the user and the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state, the user authentication of the mobile terminal can be automatically completed. Accordingly, when the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state, the mobile terminal performs detailed authentication of the event generated on the display unit 151 without performing various kinds of user authentication procedures such as number authentication, fingerprint authentication, iris authentication, pattern authentication, Information can be output.

Meanwhile, when the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state, the wearable device can control the display unit 351 to stop the output of the notification 710 and output the preset content 720. For example, it may correspond to a preset content 720 clock. Although not shown in FIG. 7, when the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state, the wearable device may switch the display section 351 to the inactive state. This is because the display unit 351 of the wearable device does not face the user in the grip state of the mobile terminal, and therefore it is not necessary to output information on the event to the display unit 351. [ Also, when the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state, the main device that outputs the information about the event is switched from the wearable device to the mobile terminal.

Although not shown in FIG. 7, when the wearable device is in a non-attach state to the user when the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state, the mobile terminal may maintain the disabled state of the display unit or maintain a state in which the lock screen is output.

8 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a mobile terminal is switched to a grip state while information indicating a plurality of events is output in a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment of Fig. 8, the description of the contents overlapping with those described in Fig. 7 will be omitted.

First, referring to the first drawing of FIG. 8, the user wears the wearable device on the wrist, and the mobile terminal corresponds to the grip release state. In addition, the embodiment of FIG. 8 shows a case where a plurality of events are generated, unlike the embodiment of FIG.

In addition, when a plurality of events occur, the wearable device can control the display unit 351 to output a notification 810 indicating a plurality of events. In the embodiment of FIG. 8, the plurality of events corresponds to the case of receiving a plurality of messages in the message application. Although not shown in the first drawing of FIG. 8, not only the wearable device but also the mobile terminal can control the display unit to output notifications (not shown) indicating a plurality of events.

At this time, the mobile terminal can be switched to the grip state. More specifically, at least one of the mobile terminal and the wearable device can be sensed by the user to be switched to the grip state. Since the grip state is the same as that described above with reference to FIG. 7, the description will be omitted.

In this case, referring to the second drawing of FIG. 8, when the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state, the mobile terminal controls the display unit 151 to output the first execution screen 830 of the information related to the generated event . Here, the first execution screen 830 may correspond to a message list in which messages received in a state in which the message application is executed are sorted for each sender. At this time, the wearable device can stop providing the notifications and control to output the preset contents 820. This is because the mobile terminal is in a state in which the generated event is being checked, and there is no need to continuously output the notification from the wearable device.

Meanwhile, in a state where the first execution screen 830 is outputted to the display unit 151 of the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal can sense the input signal 840 for selecting one of the message list. Here, the input signal 840 may correspond to various kinds of touch inputs. That is, when the user holds the mobile terminal in his / her hand, the user can check the message list without a separate user authentication procedure.

In this case, as shown in the third drawing of FIG. 8, the mobile terminal can control the display unit 151 to output a second execution screen 850 of the application related to the generated event. Here, the second execution screen 850 may correspond to a screen for outputting a message list transmitted / received from a specific sender among the sender lists included in the message list. At this time, the wearable device can continue to output the preset content 820. [

9 is a view showing another example in which a mobile terminal is switched to a grip state while information indicating a plurality of events is output in a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The embodiment of FIG. 9 shows a case where an input signal is received at the wearable device before switching to the grip state of the mobile terminal, unlike the embodiment of FIG. In the embodiment of FIG. 9, the description overlapping with the contents described above in FIG. 7 will be omitted.

First, referring to the first drawing of FIG. 9, the user wears the wearable device on the wrist, and the mobile terminal may not correspond to the grip state in the hand wearing the wearable device. In addition, when a plurality of events occur, the wearable device can control the display unit 351 to output a first notification 910 indicating a plurality of events. Here, the first notification 910 may include an icon of the application related to the generated event and a number indicating the number of all events. Although not shown in FIG. 9, not only the wearable device but also the mobile terminal can control the display unit to output a notification indicating a plurality of events.

At this time, the wearable device can sense the first input signal 941. Here, the first input signal 941 may correspond to a swipe-touch input in one direction with respect to the display unit 351. In this case, as shown in the second drawing of FIG. 9, the wearable device can control to output the second notification 920 to the display unit 351. Here, the second notification 920 may include an icon corresponding to caller A and a number indicating the number of messages received from caller A among the plurality of received messages.

At this time, the user may want to check a message received from a sender other than the message received from sender A. The wearable device may sense the second input signal 942. [ Here, the second input signal 942 may correspond to a swipe-touch input in one direction with respect to the display unit 351. In this case, as shown in the third drawing of Fig. 9, the wearable device can control the display unit 351 to output the third notification 930a. Here, the third notification 930a may include an icon corresponding to caller B and a number indicating the number of messages received from caller B among the plurality of received messages.

At this time, the user may want to check the detailed contents of the message received from the caller B. 9, the mobile terminal can be switched to the grip state. More specifically, at least one of the mobile terminal and the wearable device can be sensed by the user to be switched to the grip state. Since the grip state is the same as that described above with reference to FIG. 7, the description will be omitted.

When the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state, the mobile terminal can control the display unit 151 to output an execution screen for outputting a message received from the caller B. That is, the mobile terminal can control to output information that has been output from the wearable device and continuous information. At this time, the wearable device can stop the output of the third notification to the display unit and can control to output predetermined content 950 such as a clock.

That is, when a message is received from a plurality of senders through the present embodiment, when a user selects a specific sender through an input signal among a plurality of senders on a wearable device and then switches to a grip state of the mobile terminal, It is possible to confirm a message received from a specific sender through the terminal.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a case where a part of a plurality of notifications is identified in the grip state of the mobile terminal in the embodiment of FIG. 9;

In the embodiment of FIG. 10, the grip state may include a first grip state and a second grip state. Here, the first grip state represents the grip state described above with reference to FIG. 7, and may correspond to a state in which the display unit of the mobile terminal faces the user with the mobile terminal held in the user's hand. The second grip state may correspond to a state in which the display unit of the mobile terminal does not face the user while the mobile terminal is held in the user's hand. Here, whether the display portion of the mobile terminal is directed to the user can be determined through whether the user's face is recognized in the camera provided on the front side of the mobile terminal, the angle of the mobile terminal sensed by the gyro sensor or the acceleration sensor .

In the first embodiment of FIG. 10, it is assumed that an event corresponding to two notifications among the four notifications is confirmed through the display unit 151 of the mobile terminal. Referring to the first drawing of Fig. 10, the mobile terminal can execute an application corresponding to the notification in the first grip state, and output the execution screen 1010. Fig. At this time, the wearable device can output the preset content 1020 to the display unit 351.

Next, referring to the second drawing of FIG. 10, the mobile terminal can be switched from the first grip state to the second grip state. More specifically, at least one of the mobile terminal and the wearable device can sense that the direction of the display portion of the mobile terminal is changed by the user. In this case, the wearable device can control the display unit 351 to output a notification 1030 indicating an unacknowledged event among a plurality of received events received. Here, the notification 1030 may include an icon representing the sender of the unacknowledged message and a number indicating the number of unacknowledged messages.

Although not shown in FIG. 10, when the mobile terminal is switched to the second grip state, the mobile terminal may switch the display unit to an inactive state or output a lock screen. This is because the user can not positively use the display portion in the second grip state, and there is a fear of privacy invasion if the display portion faces the outside.

Provide health information

11 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a mobile terminal is switched to a grip state while health information is output in a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, referring to the first drawing of FIG. 11, the user wears the wearable device on the wrist, and the mobile terminal may correspond to the grip release state. In the embodiment of Fig. 11, it is assumed that the user wearing the wearable device is in a running motion.

The wearable device can control the display unit 351 to output the first information 1110 indicating the current motion state. Herein, the first information 1110 may include a kind of a current exercise performed by the current user, an amount of exercise, and the like. For example, the kind of exercise being performed, the amount of exercise, and the like can be determined based on information sensed through various sensors such as a gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor provided in the wearable device.

Next, the mobile terminal can be switched to the grip state. Since the grip state is the same as that described above with reference to FIG. 7, the description will be omitted. In this case, referring to the second diagram of FIG. 11, when the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state, the mobile terminal can control the display unit 151 to output the second information 1120 indicating the motion state. Here, the second information 1120 may include detailed information about the state of the current user in the exercise application state. Also, the second information 1120 may be information that is continuous with the first information 1110, and may correspond to detailed information of the first information 1110. For example, in the embodiment of FIG. 11, the second information 1120 may include at least one menu option related to the current user's running distance of exercise, calorie consumption, and current exercise.

On the other hand, in the embodiment of FIG. 11, when the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state, the mobile terminal automatically performs the user authentication in the lock screen state and can be switched to the unlocked state. This is because the wearable device that has already been subjected to the user authentication has been switched to the grip state by the user who is using it, so that no separate authentication procedure is required.

At this time, the wearable device can control the display unit 351 to stop the output of the first information 1110 and to output the preset content 1140. [ Although not shown in FIG. 11, when the mobile terminal corresponds to the grip state, the wearable device can switch the display section 351 to the inactive state.

In addition, the mobile terminal may sense the input signal 1150 to the display unit 151. [ Here, the input signal 1150 may correspond to a touch input to the heart rate related menu. In this case, as shown in the third drawing of FIG. 11, the mobile terminal can control to output the third information 1130 indicating the motion state. Here, the third information 1130 may correspond to information corresponding to the menu option included in the second information 1120. That is, in the embodiment of FIG. 11, the third information 1130 corresponds to the heart rate information of the user sensed during the running exercise.

That is, through the embodiment of FIG. 11, the user can easily confirm the exercise information through the wearable device in real time during the exercise, and the detailed information can be confirmed through the mobile terminal.

12 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a mobile terminal is switched to a grip state while health related information is output in a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

More specifically, FIG. 12 shows a case where the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state while the user performs the exercise according to the predetermined motion scenario. In the embodiment of FIG. 12, the predetermined motion scenarios may be set in the health-related application in the following order: stretching, readying, strength, and finishing.

Referring to the first drawing of FIG. 12, the user may want to check the degree of exercise through the wearable device being worn during muscle strength exercise. At this time, the wearable device can control the display unit 351 to output the first information 1210. [ For example, the first information 1210 may include a type of exercise currently in motion and a time of exercise. In this regard, although not shown in FIG. 12, the wearable device can control to output the first information 1210 when an input signal such as a gesture signal is sensed while a motion-related application is being executed in the wearable device.

At this time, the user may check his or her state of motion in detail through a mobile terminal having a larger display unit according to a predetermined motion scenario. In this case, as shown in the second diagram of Fig. 12, the mobile terminal can be switched to the grip state. In response to the grip state, the mobile terminal can control to output the second information 1230 to the display unit 151. [ Here, the second information 1230 may correspond to the detailed information indicating the motion state of the user with respect to the first information 1210. For example, the second information 1230 may be performed by a user during a predetermined exercise scenario, but may include a type of exercise, a time of exercise, a calorie consumption, and the like. Also, in the embodiment of FIG. 12, the second information 1230 may include analysis information on the exercise being performed according to a predetermined scenario.

12, when the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state, the wearable device can stop the output of the first information 1210 and control to output the predetermined content 1220. [ Also, although not shown in FIG. 12, when the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state, the wearable device may switch the display section 351 to the inactive state.

13 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a mobile terminal is switched to a grip state while health related information is output in a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

More specifically, FIG. 13 shows a case where the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state while the user performs the exercise according to the predetermined motion scenario. It is assumed that the predetermined scenario in the embodiment of FIG. 13 is the same as that described in FIG. Further, in the embodiment of Fig. 13, the grip state may include a first grip state and a second grip state. Here, it is assumed that the first grip state and the second grip state are the same as the first grip state and the second grip state described above in Fig. In the embodiment of FIG. 13, the description overlapping with the contents described above in FIG. 12 will be omitted.

Referring to the first drawing of FIG. 13, the user may want to check the exercise condition through the wearable device being worn during the preparation exercise. At this time, the wearable device can control the display unit 351 to output the first information 1310. [ For example, the first information 1310 may include the type of exercise currently in motion and the exercise time.

At this time, the user can check his / her state during the exercise in detail through the mobile terminal according to a predetermined motion scenario. In this case, as shown in the second drawing of Fig. 13, the mobile terminal can be switched to the first grip state. Also, in response to the first grip state, the mobile terminal can control the display unit 151 to output the second information 1330. [ Here, the second information 1330 may correspond to detailed information of the first information 1310 as detailed information indicating the motion state of the user. For example, the second information 1330 may include a type of exercise being performed by the user, a time of exercise, a calorie consumption amount, and the like during a predetermined exercise scenario. In addition, while the second information 1320 is output to the mobile terminal, the wearable device can control the display unit 351 to output the predetermined content 1320. This is because it is not easy for the user to confirm the display portion 351 of the wearable device in the first grip state.

Thereafter, as shown in the third drawing of Fig. 13, the mobile terminal can be switched to the second grip state. In addition, in accordance with the second grip state, the wearable device can control to output the third information 1340 to the display unit 351. [ Here, the third information 1340 is additional information on the first information 1310, and may correspond to information on the relationship between the current state of the user and the exercise being performed. The current state of the user may include the user's heart rate. Also, the user's heart rate can be sensed through a heart rate sensor provided in the wearable device, as shown in FIG. 3B. In addition, for example, in the embodiment of FIG. 13, the third information 1340 may indicate 'target heart rate below 25%'. Accordingly, the user can easily recognize the exercise progress phase through the wearable device during each exercise in accordance with a predetermined scenario.

13, if the user's heart rate and exercise time are appropriate, the wearable device may display 'target heart rate, time appropriate' as the third information 1340 on the display unit 351. FIG. 13, when the user's heart rate reaches the target value but the exercise time is short, the wearable device displays the third information 1340 on the display unit 351 as' the target heart rate is reached, Can be displayed. Although not shown in FIG. 13, the wearable device may display 'aerobic exercise recommendation' as the third information 1340.

Although not shown in FIG. 13, when the mobile terminal is switched to the second grip state, the mobile terminal may set the display unit 151 to the inactive state or output the lock screen to the display unit 151 .

14 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a mobile terminal is switched to a grip state while health related information is output in a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

More specifically, FIG. 14 shows information provided to the user when the user confirms the health-related application during the day and the evening. The embodiment of Fig. 14 assumes that the health-related application is executed by the user during execution of the home screen of the wearable device or another application.

First, referring to the first drawing of FIG. 14, when a health-related application is executed by an input signal, the wearable device can control the display unit 351 to output the first information 1410. Here, the first information 1410 corresponds to a graph that briefly shows the contents of the exercise for one day. More specifically, if the wearable device is in the evening when the health-related application is executed, the wearable device can output the content representing the exercise contents for one day to the display unit 351. [ Through this, the user will be able to grasp briefly the exercise contents during the day.

However, the user may want to grasp the content output to the wearable device in more detail. At this time, as shown in the second diagram of FIG. 14, the mobile terminal can be switched to the grip state. In response to the grip state, the mobile terminal can control to output the second information 1430 to the display unit 151. [ Here, the second information 1430 corresponds to the content that details the exercise contents for one day. Meanwhile, while the mobile terminal outputs the second information 1430, the wearable device can control to stop the output of the first information 1410 and to output the preset content 1420.

15 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a mobile terminal is switched to a grip state while health related information is output in a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The wearable device or the mobile terminal may, depending on the setting, provide the user with exercise-related notifications. Referring to the first drawing of FIG. 15, the wearable device can control the display unit 351 to output the first information 1510. Here, the first information 1510 may correspond to a notification indicating that the user has no movement for a preset time. That is, the wearable device can output the first information 1510 to induce the user of the wearable device to move or exercise.

At this time, the user of the wearable device may want to check more detailed information regarding the first information 1510. That is, as shown in the second diagram of FIG. 15, the mobile terminal can be switched to the grip state. In this case, the mobile terminal can control to output the second information 1530 to the display unit. More specifically, when the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state, the mobile terminal can be unlocked without a separate user authentication procedure and the health related application can be executed to output the second information 1530. [

Here, the second information 1530 may be an execution screen of the health-related application, and may correspond to content that indicates a motion recommended to a user who has not been in motion for a predetermined period of time. Meanwhile, while the mobile terminal outputs the second information 1530, the wearable device may stop the output of the first information 1510 and control the display unit 351 to output the preset content 1520. [

16 is a diagram showing an example of outputting various information in a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

More specifically, in the embodiment of Fig. 16, there is shown an example of a notification provided in the wearable device in relation to the water intake amount. On the other hand, water intake can be sensed in a variety of ways. As an example, the water intake can be sensed by data input directly to the wearable device or the mobile terminal every time the user consumes water. As another example, the water intake may be sensed by the movement of the user wearing the wearable device. For example, when the movement of the user's arm of the predetermined pattern is sensed, the wearable device can determine that the user is consuming water and record it. In addition, the user ' s water intake of the wearable device can be sensed and recorded in various ways.

With respect to water intake, the wearable device can provide notifications to the user in various ways. 16 (a), the wearable device can control the display unit 351 to output a notification 1610 indicating the amount of water to be consumed each time the user consumes water. As another example, referring to Figures 16 (b) and 16 (c), the wearable device can control to output notifications 1620, 1630 indicating the water intakes during a day at a particular time. For example, a specific time may correspond to evening time.

Further, in the embodiment of Fig. 17, the user assumes that the settlement is completed through the credit card or the cash card displayed on the wearable device.

17, when the wearable device is located near the POS, the wearable device can transmit a settlement signal to the force and perform settlement. In addition, the wearable device can control the display unit 351 to output the first payment completion information 1710. [ Here, since the area of the display unit 351 is small, the first payment completion information 1710 may include only simple information of the payment item and the payment amount.

At this time, the user may want to check the settlement item and payment amount as well as more detailed payment information through the display unit provided in the mobile terminal. Referring to the second drawing of FIG. 17, the mobile terminal can be switched to the grip state. It is assumed that the grip state is the same as the grip state described above with reference to Fig.

Also, when the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state, the mobile terminal can switch the display unit 151 from the inactive state to the active state. Also, the mobile terminal can be switched from the locked state of the display unit 151 to the unlocked state without a separate unlocking procedure. This is because, when the wearable user of the wearable device holds the mobile terminal, a separate authentication procedure is unnecessary.

Further, the mobile terminal can control to output the second payment completion information 1720 in response to the grip state. Here, the second payment completion information 1720 includes various information such as a payment card type, payment time, payment place, total accumulated payment amount, and the like, as well as the payment item and the payment amount included in the first payment completion information 1710 . Meanwhile, while the second payment completion information 1720 is output to the mobile terminal, the wearable device can stop the output of the first payment completion information 1710 and control to output the preset content 1730. [

That is, the user wearing the wearable device can confirm more detailed information related to the billing information in addition to the simple payment information provided in the wearable device through the mobile terminal.

18, the wearable device can control the display unit 351 to output the A credit card image 1810 corresponding to the card for settlement at the user's selection. At this time, although not shown in FIG. 19, if the credit card image 1810 is outputted to the wearable device and is close to the force, settlement may proceed.

On the other hand, the user may want to confirm information about the A credit card before proceeding with the settlement. As shown in the second drawing of Fig. 18, the mobile terminal can be switched to the first grip state. It is assumed that the first grip state and the second grip state described in Fig. 18 are the same as the first grip state and the second grip state described above in Fig.

Also, corresponding to the first grip state, the mobile terminal can control to output information 1820 corresponding to the A credit card. The information 1820 corresponding to the A credit card may include a limit of the A credit card, a settlement date, an accumulated payment amount, and the like. Although not shown in FIG. 18, the mobile terminal senses the location information through a location information sensor provided in the mobile terminal or the wearable device, and the mobile terminal can output a coupon that can be used together with the A credit card.

Further, while the information 1820 corresponding to the A credit card is being outputted to the mobile terminal, the wearable device can control to stop the output of the credit card image 1810 and output the preset content 1830. [

Further, after confirming the information on the A credit card, the user can make a payment using the A credit card. Accordingly, the mobile terminal can be switched to the second grip state. As shown in the third diagram in Fig. 18, the wearable device can control the display unit 351 to output settlement-related warning information 1940. [ At this time, although not shown in FIG. 18, the mobile terminal may stop the output of the information 1820 corresponding to the A credit card, output a lock screen, or deactivate the display unit.

19 is a diagram showing an example in which a mobile terminal is switched to a grip state while a billing application is running in a wearable device related to the present invention.

More specifically, FIG. 19 shows a case where the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state in a state in which a cash card for settlement is output on the wearable device. Referring to the first drawing of Fig. 19, the wearable device can control the display unit 351 to output the B cash card image 1910 corresponding to the card for settlement at the user's selection. At this time, although not shown in FIG. 19, if the wearable device is close to the force with the credit card image 1910 being output, the settlement can proceed.

On the other hand, the user may want to check information about the B cash card before proceeding with the settlement. As shown in the second diagram of Fig. 19, the mobile terminal can be switched to the grip state. In response to the grip state, the mobile terminal can control to output the information 1920 corresponding to the B cash card. The information 1920 corresponding to the B cash card may include the balance of the B cash card, payment history of the B cash card, and the like. Further, while the information 1920 corresponding to the B cash card is being output to the mobile terminal, the wearable device can control to stop the output of the B cash card image 1910 and output the preset content 1930.

20 is a diagram illustrating a wearable device and a control method of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. 20 described below can be controlled by the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal and the control unit 380 of the wearable device shown in Fig.

First, the wearable device can control to output the first information to the display unit (S2010). As described above, the first information may include various information such as information on the generated event, healthcare information, payment information, and the like. In addition, the first information may correspond to simple information represented by an icon or the like.

For example, as described above with reference to FIG. 7, when the first information is information on the generated event, the wearable device can control to output the first information to the display unit as the event occurs. Further, for example, as described in Fig. 11, when the first information is healthcare information, the wearable device can control to output the first information to the display unit as the gesture input or the touch input is sensed . 17, when the first information is payment information, the wearable device outputs the first information to the display unit according to an input signal for completing payment or outputting a payment card, as described above with reference to FIG. .

Next, the mobile terminal can be switched to the grip state (S2020). Here, the grip state may correspond to a state in which the mobile terminal is held by the hand of a user wearing the wearable device, as described above with reference to Fig. Further, in the present invention, the grip state may correspond to a state in which the display unit of the mobile terminal is facing the user.

On the other hand, as described above with reference to FIG. 7, when the mobile terminal is held by the user's hand, the mobile terminal and the wearable device can sense the same rotation input or gesture input. Also, the mobile terminal and the wearable device can determine that the same input signal is sensed through data transmission / reception. In this case, it can be determined that the mobile terminal and the wearable device are switched to the grip state.

When the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state, the mobile terminal can control to output the second information to the display unit (S2040). As described above, the second information is information provided in the same application as the first information, and can correspond to the detailed information of the first information.

In addition, when the mobile terminal is switched to the grip state, the wearable device may deactivate the display unit or output predetermined content (S2030). This is because the second information is provided in the mobile terminal and the display unit of the wearable device does not face the user, so that the display unit of the wearable device does not need to continuously output the first information.

21 is a diagram illustrating a wearable device and a method of controlling a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. 21 described below can be controlled by the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal and the control unit 380 of the wearable device shown in Fig. 5. Further, in the embodiment of Fig. 21, The description overlapping with the contents is omitted.

First, the wearable device can control to output the first information to the display unit (S2110). Next, the mobile device can be switched to the first grip state (S2120). In the embodiment of FIG. 21, the grip state may include a first grip state and a second grip state. 12, the first grip state corresponds to a state in which the display portion of the mobile terminal faces the user, and the second grip state corresponds to the state in which the display portion of the mobile terminal does not face the user.

When the mobile terminal is switched to the first grip state, the wearable device may control to disable the display unit or output predetermined content to the display unit (S2130). Also, when the mobile terminal is switched to the first grip state, The mobile terminal can control to output the second information to the display unit.

Next, the mobile terminal can be switched to the second grip state (S2150). When the mobile terminal is changed to the second grip state by the user's hand, the mobile terminal and the wearable device can sense the same rotation input or gesture input. Also, the mobile terminal and the wearable device can determine that the same input signal is sensed through data transmission / reception. In this case, it can be determined that the mobile terminal and the wearable device are switched to the second grip state.

When the mobile terminal is switched to the second grip state, the wearable device can control to output the third information to the display unit (S2170). Here, the third information may be information provided in a state in which the same application as the first information and the second information is executed, and may correspond to additional information of the first information.

In addition, when the mobile terminal is switched to the second grip state, the mobile terminal may control to disable the display unit or output a lock screen to the display unit (S2160). This is because, when the mobile terminal is switched to the second grip state, since the display unit is not facing the user, it is not necessary to continuously output the information and there is a fear of privacy invasion.

The present invention described above can be embodied as computer-readable codes on a medium on which a program is recorded.
