Meanwhile, the sensing unit 140 senses at least one of information in the mobile terminal, surrounding environment information surrounding the mobile terminal, and user information, and generates a sensing signal corresponding thereto. The controller 180 may control driving or operation of the mobile terminal 100 or perform data processing, function or operation related to an application program installed in the mobile terminal 100 based on the sensing signal. Representative sensors among various sensors that may be included in the sensing unit 140 will be described in more detail.

First, the proximity sensor 141 refers to a sensor that detects the presence or absence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface or an object present in the vicinity without using a mechanical contact by using an electromagnetic force or infrared rays. The proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in an inner region of the mobile terminal covered by the touch screen described above or near the touch screen.

Examples of the proximity sensor 141 include a transmission photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor. In the case where the touch screen is capacitive, the proximity sensor 141 may be configured to detect the proximity of the object by the change of the electric field according to the proximity of the conductive object. 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, an action of allowing the object to be recognized without being in contact with the touch screen so that the object is located on the touch screen is referred to as a "proximity touch", and the touch The act of actually touching an object on a screen is called a "contact touch." The position at which the object is in close proximity touch on the touch screen means a position where the object is perpendicular to the touch screen when the object is in close proximity touch. The proximity sensor 141 may detect a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (for example, a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, and a proximity touch movement state). have. Meanwhile, the controller 180 processes data (or information) corresponding to the proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern detected 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. Further, the controller 180 may control the mobile terminal 100 to process different operations or data (or information) according to whether the touch on the same point on the touch screen is a proximity touch or a touch touch. .

The touch sensor applies a touch (or touch input) applied to the touch screen (or the display unit 151) using at least one of various touch methods such as a resistive film method, a capacitive method, an infrared method, an ultrasonic method, and a magnetic field method. Detect.

As an example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in pressure applied to a specific portion of the touch screen or capacitance generated at the specific portion into an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect a position, an area, a pressure at the touch, a capacitance at the touch, and the like, when the touch object applying the touch on the touch screen is touched on the touch sensor. Here, the touch object is an object applying a touch to the touch sensor and may be, for example, a finger, a touch pen or a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like.

As such, 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 then transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. As a result, the controller 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component from the controller 180 or may be the controller 180 itself.

Meanwhile, the controller 180 may perform different control or perform the same control according to the type of touch object that touches the touch screen (or a touch key provided in addition to the touch screen). Whether to perform different control or the same control according to the type of touch object may be determined according to the operation state of the mobile terminal 100 or an application program being executed.

The touch sensor may be configured to detect a touch input using different methods in the activated and deactivated state of the display unit 151. In this case, the different methods may be related to the activation period of the touch sensor. More specifically, the touch sensor may be activated at different periods depending on whether the display unit 151 is activated. That is, the touch sensor may sense a touch input applied to the touch sensor while having different activation cycles according to whether the display unit 151 is activated.

For example, when the display unit 151 is deactivated, the touch sensor may be activated at a predetermined specific period. In this case, the specific period may be a period corresponding to a time greater than zero. In addition, when the display unit 151 is activated, the touch sensor may be operated in an activated state at all times. That is, in this case, the activation period of the touch sensor may be zero or a period having a time very close to zero.

Whether or not the touch sensor is activated may be distinguished using power consumption of the touch sensor. For example, when the power consumption of the touch sensor is less than or equal to a preset reference value based on 0, the touch sensor corresponds to a deactivated state and when the power consumption of the touch sensor is greater than the preset reference value based on 0. , It can be said to be activated.

When the display unit 151 is in an active state (hereinafter referred to as an active mode), the touch sensor may continue to be activated and may wait for application of a touch input to the display unit 151. have. On the contrary, when the display unit 151 is in an inactive state (hereinafter referred to as a dose mode), the touch sensor may be activated every predetermined period.

On the other hand, the shorter the specific period of activation of the touch sensor, the faster the speed of detecting the touch input hitting the display unit 151, but accordingly the power consumed by the touch sensor may be increased. On the contrary, the longer the period in which the touch sensor is activated, the smaller the power consumed by the touch sensor, but the speed of detecting the touch input hitting the display unit 151 may be slower.

Accordingly, the specific period may be set to increase the efficiency of power consumption while being fast enough that the detection speed is not recognized by the user in detecting the touch input hitting the display unit 151. For example, the specific period may be set so that the touch sensor is deactivated and activated 20 times (1 Hz) per second.

Meanwhile, while the display unit 151 is activated, the touch sensor may also be activated, and in the activated state, the activation period T of the touch sensor may be zero or very close to zero. Alternatively, in the state in which the touch sensor is activated, the period of the touch sensor may be several times shorter than a specific period in which the touch sensor is activated in the state in which the display unit 151 is inactivated. That is, the touch sensor may be activated at different periods depending on whether the display unit 151 is activated.

Meanwhile, in the doze mode in which the display unit 151 is deactivated and the touch sensor is periodically activated, a predetermined touch input (for example, tapping a predetermined area continuously within a reference time) by the touch sensor is performed. When the first and second touch inputs are sensed, the controller 180 may switch the doze mode to an active mode in which the display unit and the touch sensor are activated.

In addition, the touch sensor may be driven at different periods based on the state of the display unit 151. For example, when the display unit 151 is in the closed state, the dose mode may be executed, and when the display unit 151 is switched from the closed state to the open state, the active mode may be executed.

Meanwhile, the touch sensor and the proximity sensor described above may be independently or combined, and may be a short (or tap) touch, a long touch, a multi touch, a drag touch on a touch screen. ), Flick touch, pinch-in touch, pinch-out touch, swipe touch, hovering touch, etc. A touch can be sensed.

The ultrasonic sensor may recognize location information of a sensing object using ultrasonic waves. On the other hand, the controller 180 can calculate the position of the wave generation source through the information detected from the optical sensor and the plurality of ultrasonic sensors. The position of the wave source can be calculated using the property that the light is much faster than the ultrasonic wave, that is, the time that the light reaches the optical sensor is much faster than the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. More specifically, the position of the wave generation source may be calculated using a time difference from the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the light as the reference signal.

In addition, the NFC Forum defines four record types. Specifically, the NFC forum defines four record type definitions (RTDs) such as smart poster, text, uniform resource identifier (URI), and general control. If the data received from the tag is a smart poster type, the controller may execute a browser (eg, an Internet browser). If the data received from the tag is a text type, the controller may execute a text viewer. When the data received from the tag is a URI type, the controller executes a browser or makes a phone call, and when the data received from the tag is a general control type, the controller can execute an appropriate operation according to the control content.

When the NFC module is operated in a peer-to-peer mode, the mobile terminal may perform P2P communication with another mobile terminal. In this case, LLCP (Logical Link Control Protocol) may be applied to P2P communication. A connection may be created between the mobile terminal and another mobile terminal for P2P communication. In this case, the generated connection may be classified into a connectionless mode in which one packet is exchanged and terminated, and a connection-oriented mode in which packets are continuously exchanged. Through P2P communication, data such as electronic business cards, contact information, digital photos, URLs, and setup parameters for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections can be exchanged. However, since the available distance of NFC communication is short, the P2P mode may be effectively used for exchanging small data.
