Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like elements.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a wearable device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a wearable device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

A wearable device (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body (2) and a band (3). As shown in FIG. 1, the wearable apparatus 1 can be worn on the user's wrist, and provides a user interface for performing a function corresponding to a corresponding operation by inputting an operation of moving a user's arms and hands.

2, the wearable apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a sensor array 10, an inertial sensor 20, an operation determination unit 30, a control unit 40, an output unit 60 ).

The sensor array 10 includes a plurality of sensors 11 each sensing a physical change to the skin of the body region. As shown in FIG. 1, the sensor array 10 is disposed on a surface where the band 3 is in contact with the body, and each sensor senses a physical change to the skin and outputs a sensing signal. The density of the sensors constituting the sensor array 10 may be proportional to the density of muscles beneath the epidermis of the body region.

The inertial sensor 20 may include an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, and the like. The inertial sensor 20 senses a change in inertia caused by a user's operation of rotating the wrist or lifting the arm, and outputs the inertial signal.

The operation determining unit 30 determines an operation input by the user based on the sensing signals received from the plurality of sensors 11. The operation determining unit 30 compares the strengths of the sensing signals received from the sensors with the stored values, determines which operation the user takes, and determines what operation the user inputs. The operation determining unit 30 can determine an operation input by the user based on the inertial signal measured by the inertial sensor 20 and the sensing signals received from the plurality of sensors 11 of the sensor array 10 .

The operation determining unit 30 determines whether the continuous operation input by the user is a continuous operation allowed in the current mode based on the current mode state and the sensing signals collected from the plurality of sensors 11, Determines which operation is to be performed. The process of determining the operation input by the user will be described later.

The control unit 40 switches between the standby mode M1, the quick mode M2 and the active mode M3 according to the operation of the user and the duration of each mode input from the operation determination unit 30, In the mode (M2), if the second operation is not inputted within the first time, it switches to the standby mode (M1). That is, the wearable apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention provides the user with three modes of the standby mode M1, the quick mode M2, and the active mode M3. As shown in Fig. 3, the standby mode M1, the quick mode M2, and the active mode M3 are switched to each other based on the input of the user and the duration of each mode.

The standby mode M1 is in a state of waiting for an input or an announcement or the like that can come from the user or another electronic device connected to the wearable device 1. [ The standby mode M1 can save the battery by keeping the output unit 60 in an inactive state, and can receive only a predetermined input to release the standby mode M1. For example, the user releases the standby mode M1 only when he / she inputs the first operation (e.g., the operation of holding the fist).

The active mode M3 is a state in which all functions of the wearable device 1 can be provided to the user. In the active mode M3, the operation of the user can be inputted by using the sensor array 10 and the inertial sensor 20, the voice input of the user can be inputted through the voice recognition unit 50, ), And provides a screen, sound, vibration, etc. to the user by using the output unit 60. [0050]

The quick mode M2 provides an environment in which the quick function according to the quick operation can be performed by the user. The duration of the quick mode M2 is set to be considerably shorter than the duration of the active mode M3 and if the operation for switching to the active mode M3 is not input within the duration of the quick mode M2, (M1). For example, the duration of the quick mode M2 may be set as short as 2 seconds or 3 seconds, and the mode of switching from the standby mode M1 to the quick mode M2 and switching to the active mode M3 within 3 seconds 2 If the operation (for example, the operation of holding the fist and raising the thumb) is not inputted, the mode is automatically switched to the standby mode (M1).

The quick mode M2 is a mode in which the wearable device 1 recognizes the operation of the user and releases the standby mode M1 even if the wearable device 1 does not intend to input the operation to release the standby mode M1 It is prepared in case. If the standby mode M1 is canceled and then enters the active mode M3, various functions are executed by sensing the user's operation even though the user does not intend to do so, or the screen of the active mode M3 The battery is consumed in the process of displaying 61 and the use time of the wearable device 1 is rapidly reduced.

Therefore, the presence of the quick mode M2 between the standby mode M1 and the active mode M3 allows the user to enter the quick mode M2 even if the unintended standby mode M1 is released, If the operation for entering the active mode M3 is not input within the duration of the active mode M3, the user is automatically switched to the standby mode M1, thereby preventing the user from entering the unintended active mode M3, There is an advantage that the use time of the wearable device 1 can be extended.

That is, even if the unintentional standby mode M1 release operation is input to the wearable device 1, it is not immediately switched to the active mode M3 but is switched to the quick mode M2 having a shorter duration, It is advantageous in that the performance of the wearable apparatus 1 is prevented and the battery consumption of the wearable apparatus 1 is reduced to extend the use time of the wearable apparatus 1. [

3 is a view showing a mode interface provided by the wearable device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3, when the first operation is inputted from the user in the standby mode M1, the controller 40 switches to the quick mode M2. In the quick mode M2, And switches to the active mode M3 when the second operation is input and switches to the standby mode M1 if there is no input from the user in the active mode M3, The controller switches to the active mode M3.

The wearable apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention can be set to the third operation for switching from the standby mode M1 to the active mode M3 without going through the quick mode M2. Therefore, the wearable device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention provides two paths for releasing the standby mode M1 to the user. That is, the first path is for switching from the first mode to the quick mode M2 in the standby mode M1 and the second mode for switching from the quick mode M2 to the active mode M3, And enters the third operation in the standby mode M1 and immediately switches to the active mode M3.

At this time, the first operation and the second operation can be set to a single operation using the user's hand, and the third operation can be set to the continuous operation using the user's hand. It is preferable that the continuous operation to be set to the third operation is set to an operation having low association between the respective operations. It is possible to prevent the user from entering the unintentional active mode M3 since the probability of accurately performing the continuous operation set as the third operation in the course of the user wearing the wearable apparatus 1 is low, Since it is possible to perform the continuous operation correctly when the user desires to enter the active mode M3.

As described above, when entering the active mode M3 by using the first operation, the second operation and the third operation, a command using voice in the active mode M3 can be input. When the user speaks a command, the voice recognition unit 50 recognizes the user's voice and determines whether the command is a predetermined command, and transmits the command to the control unit 40. [ The method of entering the active mode M3 by using the conventional speech is inconvenient because it has to say a specific word and the recognition rate of the speech recognition itself is also low. In contrast, the wearable apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention provides an environment in which the wearer can enter the active mode M3 by using the user's hand or arm operation and can issue commands by voice.

On the other hand, when the controller 40 receives the quick operation from the user in the quick mode M2, the controller 40 can perform the function corresponding to the quick operation in the quick mode M2. The quick mode M2 provides an environment in which the user can perform a necessary function without entering the active mode M3, in addition to the function of preparing for the unintentional release of the standby mode M1 of the user. The quick mode M2 displays the switching from the standby mode M1 to the quick mode M2 using the output unit 60 by using the screen, sound, or vibration. This informs the user that the quick function M2 can be used by informing the user of entry into the quick mode M2.

It is preferable that the quick operation that can be input in the quick mode (M2) is set as a continuous operation. Since the probability of accurately performing the continuous operation set by the quick operation in the course of the wearer wearing the wearable apparatus 1 is low, it is possible to prevent the user from performing the unintentional quick function.

The quick function provided in the quick mode M2 state can be classified as controlling the wearable apparatus 1 itself and controlling the external apparatus connected thereto by using the wearable apparatus 1. [ In the case where the quick function controls the wearable apparatus 1 itself but the function of the speaker 62 is not required to be provided (for example, the control of the volume of the speaker 62), in the quick mode M2, 62), and may not provide a screen through the display 61. [0050] Further, even when the quick function for controlling an external device is performed in the quick mode M2, it is possible not to provide a screen to the display 61 of the wearable device 1. [

The quick function of the quick mode M2 provides a convenient environment in which a user can perform a predetermined function without viewing the display 61 of the wearable device 1 and does not display a screen while performing a quick function, It is possible to omit the operation of the portion of the display 61 which consumes the largest amount of battery in the mobile phone 1, and the use time of the wearable device 1 is prolonged. That is, by inputting the quick operation in the quick mode M2, the user can perform the function corresponding to the quick operation without entering the active mode M3 which consumes a lot of battery power.

Hereinafter, an interface method of the wearable device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 3 is a view showing a mode interface provided by the wearable device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a view showing a mode interface switching operation provided by the wearable device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.

The interface method of the wearable device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes sensing the physical change of the skin region of the body region by the sensor array 10 including the plurality of sensors 11, (S200) for determining an operation input by the user based on the sensing signals received from the plurality of sensors (11), determining whether the first operation is input from the user in the standby mode (M1) (S101), switching to the quick mode (S102) when the first operation is input (S102), in the quick mode (M2) (S104). If the second operation is not input within the first duration, the control unit switches to a standby mode (S104). If the second operation is received within the first duration, (M2) releasing step and switching to the active mode (M3) (S105) And an active mode (M3) releasing step of switching to the standby mode (M1) when no input is received from the user in the second duration (S106).

In operation input step S200, the operation determining unit 30 determines the operation of the user based on the signals input from the plurality of sensors 11 of the sensor array 10 and the inertial sensor 20, . The process of determining the operation in the operation determining unit 30 will be described later.

In the standby mode (M1) releasing step, the control unit 40 determines whether the operation of the user provided by the operation determining unit 30 is identical to the predetermined first operation (S101). If it is determined that the user has input the first operation, the operation mode is switched to the quick mode M2 (S102). If the user inputs an operation other than the first operation, the user remains in the standby mode M1.

At this time, a quick mode (M2) display step (S102) for notifying the user that switching from the standby mode (M1) to the quick mode (S102) and switching to the quick mode (M2) Can be performed. Upon informing the user of the switch to the quick mode M2, the user can recognize that the quick operation can be input.

If the third operation is inputted, it is determined whether the third operation is inputted from the user in the standby mode (M1) in the standby mode (M1) can do. In this manner, when the user inputs the first operation in the standby mode M1, the standby mode M1 is released while switching to the quick mode M2, and when the user inputs the third operation, the mode is switched to the active mode M3 The standby mode M1 is released.

On the other hand, if a quick operation is received from the user in the quick mode M2, a quick function performing step may be further performed to perform a function corresponding to the quick operation in the quick mode M2. Performing a quick function corresponding to the quick operation inputted by the user in the quick function execution step, counting the first time from the beginning after executing the quick function, and judging whether the second operation is inputted within the first time (S103 ).

Through the above process, the interface method of the wearable device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention provides switching of the standby mode M1, the quick mode M2 and the active mode M3 according to the operation input of the user And even if the standby mode M1 is released by an unintended input, the wearer does not immediately enter the active mode M3. Therefore, malfunction of the wearable device 1 is prevented and battery consumption is reduced.

Hereinafter, the operation inputting step (S200) will be described with reference to Figs. 5 and 6. Fig.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which a wearable device 1 determines a user's operation according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which a wearable device 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an exemplary gesture.

The interface method of the wearable device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention provides an environment in which a user can input a single operation and a continuous operation and sets a single operation differently from a continuous operation that can be input according to the mode . As shown in Fig. 6, the user can input a single operation for independently inputting each operation (for example, (a), (b), (c), (d) Also, continuous operation can be input as shown in Table 1 below.

First, in the current operation detection step (S201), when the user performs a specific operation, the sensor array 10 including the plurality of sensors 11 senses a physical change of the skin region of the body region, And the inertia sensor 20 provides the inertia signal to the operation decision unit 30. [ The operation determining unit 30 compares the sensed signals received from the plurality of sensors 11 and the inertia signal received from the inertial sensor 20 with the signal values of each operation stored in advance, .

The operation determining unit 30 determines what the current mode is (S202). The step of confirming the current mode may be located before the current operation detection step, and a method of automatically updating the current mode to the operation determination unit 30 when the mode is switched may be used.

When the current mode is confirmed, the operation determining unit 30 determines whether the operation detected in the current operation detecting step S201 is an initial operation of the continuous operation designated in the current mode (S203). As illustrated in Table 1 above, the standby mode (M1), the quick mode (M2) and the active mode (M3) provide single operations and continuous operations that can be entered in each mode. In each mode, the single operation and the initial operation of the continuous operation are set to the same operation, so that it is possible to determine whether the operation input by the user is continuous operation.

If the operation detected in the current operation detection step S201 is not the initial operation of the continuous operation designated in the current mode, the operation determination unit 30 determines that the operation detected in the current operation detection step S201 is an operation input by the user (S204). ≪ / RTI > In this case, the operation that the operation determining unit 30 provides to the control unit 40 is a single operation.

For example, referring to the quick mode M2 of Table 1, when the user performs the operation c, the operation determination unit 30 detects the operation c on the basis of the sensing signal (S201) (S202), it is determined whether the basic operation (operation a) of the continuous operation provided in the quick mode M2 coincides with the detected operation c (S203), and the operation c is determined as a single operation input by the user .

On the other hand, if the operation detected in the current operation detection step is the initial operation of the continuous operation designated in the current mode, the operation determination unit 30 detects the next operation (S205) and determines the continuous operation inputted by the user S206). In this case, the operation that the operation determination unit 30 provides to the control unit 40 is a continuous operation.

The step of detecting the next operation (S205) detects an operation performed by the user through the current operation detection step (S201), judges whether or not it coincides with the intermediate operation of the continuous operation of the current mode, Can be detected. When all of the predetermined initial operation, intermediate operation, and completion operation of the continuous operation are detected, the operation determining unit 30 determines that the user inputs the continuous operation (S206), and provides the continuous operation to the control unit 40. [

If the intermediate operation or the completion operation is not detected in the step S205 for detecting the next operation, the operation determining unit 30 determines that the user has not detected an unintended input, State, and does not provide an operation to the control unit 40. Fig.

For example, referring to the quick mode M2 in Table 1, when the user performs the operation a, the operation determination unit 30 detects the operation a on the basis of the sensing signal (S201) (S202), it is determined whether or not the basic operation (operation a) of the continuous operation provided in the quick mode M2 coincides with the detected operation a (S203), so that the next operation is detected (S205) , The intermediate operation (operation c), and the completion operation (operation b) are sequentially detected, it is determined that the user inputs a quick operation which is a continuous operation for performing the quick function, and the determined continuous operation is provided to the control unit 40 .

Through this process, the operation determining unit 30 can determine whether the operation input by the user is a single operation or a continuous operation. As shown in Table 1, since the continuous operation can be set differently for each mode, there is an advantage that a continuous operation can be configured by an operation that the user can easily input in each mode. Also, even if the same single operation or continuous operation is input, different functions can be set according to the mode. If the same operation is set to perform different functions according to the mode, there is an advantage that the limited operation can be utilized as various functions.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be construed as limiting the present invention. It is obvious that the modification and the modification are possible.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
