BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention 10

The present invention relates generally to an automatic sliding type mobile station and more particularly to an automatic sliding type mobile station having a motor, a pair of switching means which can be optionally engaged with one another, and a position detecting means such that the first in semi-automatic or automatic / manual mode. The present invention also relates to a method for automatically operating such a sliding type mobile station and a method for detecting a call to such an automatic sliding type mobile station.

Description of the state of the art; A slider-type mobile station generally comprises a top body of a communications device and a subset of • I · 25 communications media. The top of the communication and the bottom of the communication slide with each other while the top of the communication is over the bottom of the communication so that the bottom of the communication is exposed or obscured.

• · * · ..ΙΓ A conventional slider-type mobile station has a slider module with

Mt 30 guides fixedly mounted on one surface of the communication for controlling sliding motion, and sliding members sliding back and forth along the guides. Slides "·: · are fixed to the other face of the communication device, facing the •" "surface of the communication device to which the guides are attached.

»·· * •« • * · * · [; "35 When the guides are positioned, for example, at the back of the top of the communications device, the slides •» ·; · are fastened to the front of the communication bottom so that the guides can move back and forth along the guides.

• * 2 117414

Figure 1 schematically shows a rear sliding type mobile station.

As shown in Figure 1, a conventional slider-type mobile station comprises an upper body 110 of a communication device having a display unit (not shown) at the front, and a lower body 120 of a communications device having a battery pack attached to the rear. The upper body 110 of the communication device and the lower body 120 of the communication device slide with each other while the upper body 110 of the communication device is over the lower body 120 of the communication device so that the lower body 120 of the communication device can be exposed or covered. At the rear of the upper body 110 of the communication device, guide slots 111 are provided, in which guides for sliding movement (not shown) are disposed. On the other side of the front part 120 of the top of the communication device, sliding members are attached which can slide back and forth along their guides. The sliding members can thus slide together with the lower part 120 of the communication device.

Flexible means, such as helical springs or other suitable springs, are provided between the guides and the sliding members which generate the opening force of the mobile station when the mobile station is closed, so that the mobile station can open automatically when the mobile station is opened.

However, the conventional slider-type mobile station 20 with the above-mentioned slider module has the disadvantage that such a slider-type mobile station is not as easy to open / close as a mobile-type mobile station and is not as easy to open / close with one hand.

Thus, there is a growing need in the art of the present invention to provide * i * * ... 25 an automatic sliding type mobile station that avoids the above disadvantage.

Fig. 2 shows a sliding type mobile station which is capable of automatically executing a mobile closing function.

30

As shown in Figure 2, this slider-type mobile station has a gear wheel 131, geared to a second end of the second piece 120 'of the message. a bar 11Γ attached to the second side of the first portion 110 'of the communication device ·, longitudinally oriented on the first portion of the communication device such that the toothed bar 11Γ • t · *' ** 35 engages a gear 131 fixed to the second piece 120 'of the mobile station , worm gear 132 drive - *: ··· for transmission of power from drive motor to gear 131 and control switch to control drive motor 133 operation.

3, 117414

In the slider-type mobile station described above, the drive motor 133 is controlled such that the user controls the control switch while the second body 120 'of the communication device is obscured. When the drive motor 133 is in operation, the rotational force of the drive motor 133 is transmitted through the worm 132 to the gear 131. As a result, the gear wheel 131 'rotates and thus the gear bar 111' connected to the gear 131 is moved. As a result, the first piece 110 'of the communicator moves upwards so that the first piece 110' of the communicator opens.

The operation of the drive motor 133 is stopped after the drive motor 133 has been operated for a predetermined time so that the first piece 110 'of the communication device cannot detach from the second piece 120' of the communication device. However, in the above-mentioned sliding-type mobile station, it is a disadvantage that the first body of the communication device does not reach a predetermined position in which the first body of the communication device is fully open or closed when the operating characteristics of the drive motor 133, i.e. revolutions per minute (rpm).

To solve the above problem, position detecting means are required to detect a relative position between the first body of a communication device and a second body of a communication device, wherein the first body of the communication device reaches a predetermined position in which the first body of the communication device is completely open or closed.

When the second piece of the communication unit does not fully open due to the external force being applied to the second piece of the communication unit, the motor power supply continues, resulting in a rapid discharge of the battery and overloading the mobile operating system which can cause the mobile unit to break. In addition, the above-mentioned sliding-type mobile station is capable of performing only a complete opening / closing function. This restricts the functions of the mobile station and thus makes using the mobile station * * ·· «* extremely uncomfortable.

* · «* • M» * ** 30 In addition, when the user normally answers the telephone using a mobile station, the user can detect the incoming call to the mobile station using three types of sensory-9 / l · information, namely buzzer (hearing), vibration (sensory) and light ( sense of sight).

'- *** A vibration engine must be used for detecting a call to a mobile station, particularly by vibration. The vibration motor has an eccentric rotor that ·: ··: rotates eccentrically. The eccentric rotation of the eccentric rotor generates a vibration, 117414 4, which allows the user to detect an incoming call to the mobile station. Currently, the incoming call to a mobile station can be detected only by a vibration motor, in addition to the incoming call detection systems using a buzzer or LED.

5 Other complicated parts of the mobile station continuously reduce the vibration engine installation space in which the vibration motor used to detect an incoming call by vibration must be installed. The vibration motor and the complex parts limit the size of the mobile station.

Therefore, a new method for detecting a call to a mobile station without using a vibration motor is under development. If the incoming call to the mobile station can be detected without the vibration motor, the size of the mobile station can be reduced. In addition, the cost of installing a vibration motor can be reduced and the mobile station assembly process simplified.

In the field of the present invention, new methods of detecting incoming call using an automatic operating system of a mobile station without the use of a vibration motor, as disclosed by the present invention, are constantly being researched.

As shown in Figs. 3A and 3B, the sliding-type mobile station of the present invention includes a rack 11 which is fixedly attached to the first body 10 of the communication device so that the first body 10 and the second body 20 of the communication slide relative to one another. which is secured to the second piece 20 of the communication device in such a way that the gear wheel engages with the toothed rack 11. The sliding-type mobile station of the present invention is easy to open and close by motor power compared to a conventional sliding-type mobile station.

The sliding type mobile station of the present invention further includes a cam unit comprising a clutch shaft 31 mounted on a motor rotation shaft, a clutch slide 32 which may optionally engage at one end of the clutch shaft, and a control cam 34 which locks the clutch slide 32 in the rotation direction the slide 32 can move in the axial direction, which allows the slider-type mobile station 15 to be opened and closed more smoothly when the slider-type mobile station is not only automatically operative but can also be operated manually, which will be explained in more detail below.

Figure 4 is a perspective configuration view of a slider-type mobile station 20 according to the present invention.

The slider-type mobile station of the present invention includes a communication device for generating the force required for sliding motion of a motor 40 fixedly attached to a second body, for transmitting power to a transmission unit 30 coupled to a rotary axis of the motor, to a transmission unit 30. the friction gear 35, the first paragraph 10 of the communicator having it there. a longitudinally fixed tooth bar which is connected to the gear wheel 35; and a second body 20 of the communication device to which the transmission unit and the gear wheel are fixed.

The sliding-type mobile communication device of the present invention further includes a ... T open / close operation switch 12 for supplying an operating signal to the motor, a control unit (not shown) for controlling the motor operation based on the open / close operation switch m 12 signal.

35 ♦ ·

Motor 40 is powered by a battery installed in the mobile station and motor:: generates power for automatic or semi-automatic sliding motion. The housing of the motor 40 is attached to a second piece of the communication device.

117414 ίο

Preferably, the engine may be a geared gear with a gearbox 41 disposed on the output side. The gearbox 41 includes a planetary gear-type reduction gear having a reduction ratio of approximately 500 to 600: 1 for boosting torque. Thus, the gearbox performs both a reduction gear and a reverse gear simultaneously.

The transmission unit 30 includes a pair of coupling members which can be optionally coupled to one another, and flexible means 33 which can be compressed or expanded so that the coupling members can optionally engage. The coupling pair pair 10 comprises a coupling shaft 31, one end of which is fixedly fixed to the rotational axis of the motor, and a coupling slide 32, which may optionally engage the coupling shaft 31.

The transmission unit 30 further includes a guide cam 34 which locks the clutch slide 32 in the rotational direction and within which the clutch slide 32 is axially movable.

15 The other end of the cam cam 34 is connected to a gear.

The resilient means 31 are disposed between the clutch slider 32 and the guide cam 34 to press the clutch slider towards the clutch shaft 31. Preferably, the flexible means 33 is a compression coil spring.

20

The spring force of the flexible means 33 is greater than the driving force of the motor and less than the external force. In the case of automatic sliding movement, the flexible means 33 are expanded such that the clutch slide 32 is engaged with the clutch shaft 31. As a result, the clutch slide 32 rotates. On the other hand, in the case of manual sliding movement provided by the external force: · · · · 25, the resilient means 33 are compressed so that the engagement of the clutch shaft 31 with the clutch slider 32 is released.

• i · • ·

The clutch slide 32 is disposed within the cam cam 34 such that the clutch slide 32 is locked in the rotational direction but is movable in the axial direction. To be precise 4 * ··· * 30, the cam grooves 34 'are formed around the circumference of the cam cam 34. The switch slide 32 is locked in the cam grooves 34 '. As a result, the slide guide 34 locks the switch slide 32 in the rotational direction so that the slide slide 32 can rotate together with the guide cam 34 when the slide guide 34 is rotated, and the slide slide 32 can move axially along each cam groove 34 '.

: · ::: 35 ·

As shown in Figure 4, one side of the clutch shaft 31 is coupled to the rotary axis of the motor 40 and the other half of the clutch shaft 31 is optionally engaged with the clutch slider 32 π 117414 More specifically, the clutch shaft 31 has a recess 32 '. The clutch shaft 31 acts as a male cam and the clutch slide 32 acts as a female cam.

5

Alternatively, the coupling shaft 31 may serve as a female cam having a recess, and the coupling slide 32 may serve as a male cam having a projection.

In the above embodiment, where the female cam is engaged with the male cam, the rotational force of the motor 40 rotates the clutch shaft as the mobile station performs an automatic sliding motion. The coupling slide 32 thus rotates together with the coupling shaft 31 because the projection 31 'engages in the recess 32'.

In the case of manual sliding movement, the rotation of the gear wheel 35 rotates the skate guide 34 34. As a result, the clutch slide 32 rotates. In this case, the clutch shaft 31 does not rotate because the motor 40 is not running. On the other hand, since the clutch slide 32 rotates, the clutch shaft projection 31 'does not engage properly with the clutch slide recess 32'.

Preferably, the shape of the recess and the projection may be varied such that the male beak and the female beak are engaged at desired angles. For example, the male cam and the female cam engage with each other at 180 ° positions when the projection of the clutch shaft is formed as shown in Figure 4. In other words, the male! · The 25-sided cam protrusion engages with the female-socket recess when the male-beak is rotated. Thus, the protrusion of the male beak engages the female [···. two times when the clutch shaft is rotated through 360 °.

Similarly, the male cam and female cam are engaged at 90 ° • * '··· * 30 increments, provided that the projection of the clutch shaft is formed by a "+", and the male cam and the female cam engages •• in * positions at 120 ° intervals, provided that the projection of the clutch shaft 4 * * is formed as 'Τ'. In this way, the projection and recess forms 4; y. alterations can be made to form different female and male beaks that connect ···. 35 swing to each other at predetermined angles.

4 4 4 4 «:: The male beak and the female beak may preferably have the shape shown in Fig. 5 so that the clutch shaft and clutch slide are engaged at 360 ° intervals. In the case of 117414 12, when the clutch shaft and clutch slide are engaged at 360 ° intervals, the sliding motion is simply achieved by a single turn of the gear wheel. As a result, manual sliding action can be performed more easily and smoothly, which will be explained in detail later.

5

The motor 40, the clutch shaft 31, the clutch slide 32, the resilient means 33, and the slider guide 34 may be housed within the housing 50 as shown in Figure 4. The motor 40 is fixedly attached to the housing 50.

Preferably, the arrangement has a bearing so that the slide guide can rotate gently within the housing 50. The housing 50 is fixedly attached to the second piece of the mobile station.

One end of the guide cam 34 comes out of the housing 50 through a hole 15 formed at one end thereof. The projecting end of the cam cam 34 is connected to the gear wheel 35.

The gear wheel 35 is coupled to the slide guide 34 of the transmission unit 30 so that the gear wheel 35 can be rotated. The toothed rack 11 is connected to the gear wheel so that the first piece of the communication device can be slidably moved.

20

Friction transmission, which works by friction, can be used instead of toothed rack and pinion.

The slider-type mobile station according to the present invention further includes an open / swing function switch 12 for communicating whether or not the engine is being driven and the drive direction, and the motor control unit (not shown) **. to control the operation of the market on the basis of the signal given to the open / snooze switch 12, ···· • · * ··· '30 The switch 12 is controlled by a control force provided by the user so that the drive is controlled by the switch 12. When the user controls the switch 12, the switch 12 provides a predetermined electrical signal to the motor 40. The switch 12 is on the other side of the mobile station body in the form of a normal on / off switch, but the switch 12 can be made differently depending on . ···. 35 operator control is easy to apply. In this embodiment, the opening / closing function switch * * * · * 12 is a separate switch for providing automatic sliding motion. However, it is also possible to use a button with different functions.

13 117414

The control of the switch 12 controls the operation of the drive means forward / backward so that one piece of the communication can be opened when the second piece of the communication is closed and the second piece of the communication can be closed when the other piece of the communication is open.

The slider-type mobile station according to the present invention preferably further comprises a sensor unit having position detecting means for controlling the sliding movement of the first piece 10 of the communicator. The drive control unit controls the operation of the motor 40 based on the signal received from the position detection means.

Most preferably, the position detecting means may be a sensor that directly detects the relative position (fully open and fully closed position) of the first body of the communications device and the second body of the communication device, or a sensor that detects rotation of clutches permanently attached to the motor shaft. It is also possible to use both a position indicating sensor and a rotation detection sensor 15 simultaneously. The position detection devices are explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

When the projection 72 contacts the thin dome-like switch 71, the dome portion of the thin dome-shaped switch 71 is depressed, as shown in Figure 7B. As a result, the projection 10 72 engages a thin contact point disposed on the dome-shaped switch 71. This performs the coupling delivery.

Alternatively, at least two detecting means A (61) and Β (6Γ) attached to the upper and lower ends of the second paragraph 20 of the communication device and a position detection object C (62) are attached to the lower end 10 of the first paragraph 10 of the communication device. ) is directed to the detection means A (61) and Β (6Γ) of the second paragraph 20 of the communication device.

The position detection means may be formed as shown in Figures 9A and 9B, which show an angle sensor housing according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The angular sensor housing 81 includes a positive and negative conductor pattern attached to one side 15 thereof, which can be electrically coupled to one another. For example, the angle sensor housing 81 may include a first conductor pattern 81a having a positive terminal and a second conductor pattern 81b having a negative terminal. Alternatively, the angular sensor housing 81 may include a first conductor pattern 81a having a negative terminal and a second conductor pattern 81b having a positive 20 terminal. The brush housing 82 includes at least one brush 82a that electrically engages the first wire pattern 81a and the second wire pattern 81b of the angle sensor housing 81 so that the first wire pattern 81a and the second wire pattern 81b can be electrically connected to each other at a predetermined angle.

9A and 9B, the first conductor pattern 81a and the second conductor pattern 81b are respectively electrically connected at 90 ° and 270 ° so that a rotation of the switch shaft 180 ° is detected. It is also possible to use different shapes of the angle sensor housing to provide an electrical connection at a predetermined angle.

In another embodiment, a non-contact sensor or other type of contact sensor may be used to detect rotation of the clutch shaft instead of using an s * "s angle sensor housing and a brush housing.

In yet another embodiment, the contact sensors 85 and 86 or the non-contact encoder V * can be mounted inside the housing 50 opposite to the circumference of the coupling shaft 31, as shown in FIG. 8C. the rotation of the clutch shaft can be detected.

The non-contact sensor may comprise a sensor which changes its state upon detection of a magnetic field and a magnet which generates a magnetic field, as mentioned above. As a non-contact sensor, a Hail sensor consisting of Hall-IC circuits and a sensor using magnetoresistive element elements can be used.

The slider-type mobile station of the present invention may be used in automatic / semi-automatic mode or automatic / manual mode depending on the type of sensors attached to the mobile station. More specifically, a slider-type mobile station may be used in an automatic / semiautomatic mode of operation using a sensor that detects a relative position (fully open position / fully closed position) between the first piece of communication and the second piece of communication. On the other hand, the slider-type mobile station 15 can be used in automatic / manual mode by detecting rotation 31 on the coupling blades fixedly fixed to the motor shaft.

The automatic sliding motion of a sliding-type mobile station according to the present invention will now be described with reference to Figures 3 and 10A, in which the coupling shaft 20 and the coupling slide are shown coupled together.

When the user presses the open / close function switch 12 while the second piece of the communication is obscured, the drive control unit (not shown) determines whether the second section of the communication is exposed or obscured, and then the first body 10 is ejected by the signal in the direction of the kappa ···.

When the motor 40 operates as shown in Fig. 10A, the coupling shaft 31 coupled to the rotation axis of the motor 40 rotates. Optionally, when the clutch shaft 31 rotates, ···. The 35 coupled slides 32 rotate. More specifically, the clutch shaft 31 and clutch * * * slider 32 rotate together in the clutch shafts as the projection 31 'engages the clutch slider recess 32'.

• ϊ is 117414

In addition, the slide slide guide 34 which locks the clutch slide 32 also rotates. As a result, the gear wheel 35 rotates together with the cam cam 34.

As a result, the gearwheel 35 is rotated linearly along a tooth-5 bar 11 attached to the first body of the communication device such that the toothed bar 11 is engaged with the gearwheel 35. As a result, the first body 10 and second body 20 of the body automatically slide relative to one another.

10 An automatic sliding motion of a slider-type mobile station equipped with a sensor unit with position detection means is performed as follows.

First, an automatic sliding motion will be described in the case that the sliding type mobile station includes position detection means that directly detect the relative position (fully open position and fully closed position) between the first paragraph of the message 15 and the second paragraph of the communication device.

As the first body 10 of the communication device automatically reaches its fully open position when sliding so that the second body of the communication body is exposed as shown in Fig. 6, the detection means B (6T) and the position detection object C (62) attached to the first body of the communication .

As described above, a slider-type mobile station may be automatically slid into a fully open position or a fully closed position by using a sensor that detects complete opening and complete closing of the first body of the communication and the second body of the communication.

The position suction means may then be the aforementioned non-contact sensor or other type of contact sensor. In any case, the automatic sliding movement can be carried out according to the above principle.

Next, an automatic sliding motion will be described in the case where the sliding type mobile station includes position sensing means for detecting rotation of the coupling shaft 31 mounted on the shaft of the motor 40 for controlling the sliding motion.

The position-sensing means may be a touch sensor or a non-contact sensor, and the position-sensing means may be located anywhere, however, the principle of automatic sliding motion is applied in all cases in the same way. The automatic sliding motion is described below with reference to Figure 8A.

Automatic sliding motion is performed when the user depresses the open / close / action switch 12 while the second piece 20 of the communication is obscured or exposed. More specifically, the coupling shaft 31 permanently attached to the motor rotates while the motor 40 is running and therefore the coupling slide 32 coupled to the coupling shaft 31 also rotates. As a result, the first piece 10 of the communication device slides.

The angular sensor housing 81 attached to the other side of the motor and the brush housing attached to the coupling shaft 31 are then in different stages as the coupling shaft 31 rotates. When the brush - * -. the brush 82a of the roll 82 engages the first conductor pattern 81a and a «*] of the angle sensor housing 81! electrically interconnecting the second conductor pattern 81b, a phase signal is obtained.

···· IM • ♦ ***** 30 When the clutch shaft 31 is rotated one revolution, the gear wheel 35 moves along the rack while rotating one revolution (i.e., the first i .. *: 'track offset = D (gear diameter) xn) ). As a result, the first piece of the media can be slid from the closed position to the open position or from the open position to the closed position by rotating the tooth. 35 mascycles with the desired gear angle dependent angles, * · T so that the first piece of media can move at the desired stroke length.

* * * * 117414 20

In order to automatically rotate the gear wheel at predetermined angles, the number of in-phase signals generated when the brush housing and the angle sensor housing are electrically connected to each other must be monitored.

5 In the event that the gear is to be rotated, for example, by 540 ° when using an angle sensor housing which is electrically connected at intervals of 180 °, the motor must be stopped after three phases have been detected.

Specifically, when the opening operation or closing operation is completed, after 360 ° rotation of the gear and when using an angle sensor housing which is electrically connected at 360 ° intervals, the motor operation must be stopped once the same phase signal has been detected.

15 In the case of automatic sliding motion, the rotation of the clutch shaft is stopped based on the number of times the same phase signal is detected, which number is predetermined. On the other hand, in the case of manual sliding movement, rotation of the motor in the reverse direction is prevented so that the clutch shaft does not rotate. As a result, the clutch shaft always stays in a constant phase.

20

Operation control based on the number of times the same-phase signal is generated using the clutch shaft rotation detection can be applied in the same way for a non-contact sensor or another touch sensor.

• ♦ «* i« 25 Automatic sliding motion can thus be accomplished by controlling the motor in its basic • '; ·. how many times the same phase signal is generated in a sensor that detects rotation of the clutch shaft 31.

* · * · * * ::: An advantage of the present invention is that the sliding-type mobile station can be opened and closed more easily and smoothly with the automatic sliding movement mentioned above than in a conventional mobile station with a slider on the top of the communication. ·!: * Rubber is achieved by using only a gear and a rack.

A ··:: ·· «· *. *. According to the present invention, semi-automatic sliding motion is also possible. 35 in the case of using position detection means that directly indicate the relative position between the first and second parts of the communication device to detect the end of the sliding motion.

• * 21 117414

As the user slidably moves the first body of the communication device to display the second body 20 of the communication device, the state change of the detecting means A (61) and the position detection object C (62) is eliminated, thereby generating an NOT (lower) signal.

The drive control unit then detects an NO signal and thus the motor 40 operates in the direction of the second body of the communication device.

On the other hand, when the user exerts an external force on the piece of communication to start its sliding, the motor 40 does not operate. As a result, the force exerted on the gear wheel 35 and 10 compresses the resilient means 33 and thus only the clutch ball 32 rotates (the clutch shaft does not rotate).

Instead, when the motor 40 is running, the clutch shaft 31 also rotates, whereby the clutch shaft and clutch ball engage each other in the same manner as in the case of automatic sliding movement 15.

When the sliding motion is performed to open the body of the communication device, the detection means B (61 ') and the position detection object C (62) shown in Figure 6 change their state, which generates an ON (upper) signal. As a result, the engine stops and the semi-20 automatic sliding motion stops.

When the first body of the communication device is slid so that the second body 20 of the communication device is obscured, the sliding motion is executed on the basis of the above principle.

22 117414

In addition to the automatic sliding movement mentioned above, it is also possible to use manual sliding movement in the case that positioning means are used to control the sliding movement which indicates the rotation of the coupling shaft 31 permanently attached to the shaft of the motor 40.

The clutch shaft and clutch slider are preferably coupled at 360 ° intervals and the sliding motion stops when the gear has rotated one turn so that the complete opening and closing operation can be performed manually externally only once, such a mobile station being easier to open and close 10 and smoother conventional mobile station.

The manual sliding motion of a mobile station will now be described in detail with reference to Figures 3.10A and 10B.

When the user pushes the first piece 10 of the communicator while it is closed so that the first piece 10 of the communicator opens, the gear wheel 35 rotates and moves along a rack 11 attached to the first piece 10 of the communicator. In this case, the slide guide 34 attached to the gear wheel 35 also rotates. In addition, the coupling slide 32 locked by the cam cam 34 rotates together with the cam cam 34. As a result, the coupling between the clutch shaft protrusion 31 'and the clutch slide recess 32' is opened, whereby the clutch shaft protrusion 3Γ is displaced from the clutch recess recess 32 'as shown in Fig. 10B. As a result, the clutch shaft projection 31 'pushes the clutch slide 32 in the axial direction (as indicated by the arrow). The clutch slide 32 extends in the axial direction so that the resilient means 33 are compressed.

When using manual sliding motion, the clutch slide 32 rotates and moves the shaft. in the direction when engine 40 is not running. As a result, flexible intermediate ** ·. they are compressed to produce the aforementioned deviation. When the angular misalignment is "less than 180", the resilient force of the resilient means 33 returns the first · 10 pieces of the communicator ··· ’30 to its original position, i.e., the closing direction of the first piece 10 of the communicator. When the angular misalignment is greater than 180 °, the resilient force of the elastic means 33 moves the first part 10 of the mandrel to the fully open position.

In addition, • · 117414 23 the resilient force of the flexible means may reset the first paragraph of the communication device to its original position.

On the other hand, the aforementioned deviation can occur when an automatic sliding-type mobile station is subjected to external force during the automatic sliding movement. In this case, the resilient force of the flexible means may return the first paragraph of the communication device to its original position.

The present invention also relates to a method for automatically operating a slider-type mobile station of the type described above.

The automatic actuation method will first be described in the case of using position air means which directly detect the relative position (fully open 15 and fully closed position) between the first piece of communication and the second piece of communication to detect the end of the sliding motion. The automatic operation method comprises the following steps.

Fig. 6 is an automatic sliding type mobile station with position detection means directly indicating complete opening or complete closure, and Fig. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an automatic operating method according to the present invention.

(a) The step of supplying a walk signal to the walk control unit »» »·» •: T: 25 Initially, the drive control unit is supplied with a start drive signal to move the slider type mobile to the open or closed position. The drive signal may be generated by controlling the open / close operation switch 12 attached to the first body of the communication device or the second body of the communication device. Instead of the switch 12, the multifunction buttons 30 attached to the side of a slider-type mobile station may be used.

The drive signal may be generated by detecting the displacement of the position of the position detection object C (62) by the detection means A (61) or Β (6Γ) as shown in Figure 6.

: A: For example, when a user slides the first paragraph of a mobile station manually; When the second piece of the communication is obscured, the detection means A (61) indicates * · * *. a position shift of the position detecting object C (62), which is supplied to the drive control unit as an operating signal. In this way, the aforementioned semi-automatic * · 117414 24 sliding movement is initiated. The sliding motion is executed in the same way if another piece of the communication device is exposed.

f tri A step of detecting the starting position of a position detection target by means of at least two detecting means spaced at a distance corresponding to the travel distance of the first body of the communication device to determine the rotation direction of (a), the drive control unit detects the positions of the first paragraph of the communication device and the second paragraph of the communication device by means of detection means. As shown in Fig. 6, the position detection object C (62) is fixed to the second body 20 of the mobile station. The position detection object C (62) is detected by at least two detection means A (61) and Β (6Γ) attached to the first body 10 of the communication device. rotation.

When the second body of the communication device is detected, the direction of rotation of the motor is determined such that the first body of the communication device is driven by the drive motor 20 to slide in the direction covering the second body of the communication device. The drive motor is supplied with a drive signal having a direction of rotation determined as described above. In the event that the second piece of the communication device is obscured, an operating signal having a direction opposite to the above-mentioned direction of rotation is supplied, j * \. i.e. the direction opening the first paragraph of the communication.

After step (b), the drive motor is supplied with a drive signal having said specific direction of rotation. As a result, the drive motor runs and the drive motor. The first piece of media slides into the open or closed position. When detection means other than those initially in contact with the position detection object C (62) of the second piece 20 of the communication device detect the position detection object C (62), the motor is stopped.

117414 25

Initially, the position detection object C (62) of the second body of the closed position communication device is in contact with the detecting means A (61) of the first body of the communication device. As the drive motor 40 moves the first piece of communication to the open position, the position detection object C (62) of the second piece of communication comes into contact with the detection means Β (6Γ) of the first piece of communication. When the detecting means Β (6Γ) detects the position detection object C (62), a signal is transmitted to the drive control unit which supplies the drive stop signal to the drive motor. In this case, the position must be detected by means of position detection means other than the initial detection means within a predetermined time (s), which will be explained in more detail in the next step (d).

Preferably, the automatic operation method of the sliding-type mobile station according to the present invention further comprises the following step (d).

15 (di) The step of supplying a drive signal opposite to the direction of rotation to the drive motor. wherein said at least two detection means do not detect a position detection target within a predetermined landscape, and step (c) is repeated: As explained above, the method of operating the sliding type mobile station according to the present invention automatically comprises steps (a) to (c). Preferably, the automatic drive method of the present invention further comprises step (d). In step (d), when the drive motor is running and when the position indication Γ1 .. object is not detected within a predetermined time (s), the drive motor is supplied with: T: 25 drive signal opposite to the direction of rotation and this rigidity is executed by: ·. step (c).

A slider-type mobile station may be completely unopened or closed when external force is applied to the mobile station during the automatic opening / closing operation of the slider-type mobile station.

When the sliding-type mobile station is subjected to an exterior ** ♦ load during automatic operation, the first track; y. the sliding motion stops.

«* ·» 117414 26

When the detecting means does not detect the position of the position detection target within a predetermined time (s), it is concluded that the above external force has interrupted the movement of the first body of the communication device and therefore the direction of rotation of the drive motor is reversed. The predefined 5 time (s) is twice the opening / closing time. When the operating time at which the mobile station moves from closed to open position is 0.5 s, the predetermined time (s) is 1 s. This can solve the problems that arise when an external force acts on the mobile during automatic operation.

10 The following describes an automatic actuation method in the case of position detecting means for detecting rotation of the coupling shaft 31 fixedly attached to the drive motor shaft. The automatic operation method comprises the following steps.

A mobile station having position detecting means for detecting rotation of the switch shaft is shown in Figure 8.

(a) The step of supplying an operating signal to the walk-through unit: Initially, an operating signal is supplied to the operating unit to move the slider-type mobile station to the open or closed position. The drive signal may be generated by controlling the open / close operation switch 12 mounted on the first piece of mobile station or the second piece of mobile station. a multifunction button attached to the side of a slider-type mobile station may be used.

The circuit included in the mobile station determines whether the first. 35 track open or closed. For example, the circuit can turn the LCD display on when the user opens the top of the communication device, and the circuit can turn off the liquid screen when the user closes the top of the communication. The detection means may be a non-contact sensor or a contact sensor as shown in Figure 6. Other types of open / closed position indicating means may also be used.

In step (b), the position of the first body of the communication device is detected by means of indicating the open / closed position 5 to determine the direction of rotation of the motor. When the second section of the communication device is detected, the direction of rotation of the drive motor is determined such that the drive motor moves the first section of the communication device to the closed position. The drive signal corresponding to the aforementioned specific direction of rotation is again supplied to the drive motor. In the case where the second piece of the communication device is obscured, an operating signal is applied which has a direction opposite to the aforementioned direction of rotation, i.e., the direction in which the first piece of the communication device moves to the open position.

ie) The step of feeding the drive motor a drive stop signal. when the quantum detection means of kvtkinakse-15 Inin 31 has detected a predetermined number of gamay jiggle signals:

After step (b), the drive motor is supplied with a drive signal corresponding to that particular direction of rotation. As a result, the drive motor runs and the drive 20 motor causes the first body of the communication device to slide into the open position or the closed position. When the position detection means for detecting rotation of the clutch shaft 31 shown in Fig. 6 has detected a predetermined number of in-phase signals, the drive control unit supplies the drive 40 with drive-Γ \. a stop signal that stops the engine running.

The detection of clutch shaft rotation to control the rotation of the motor based on how many in-phase signals have been generated can be performed in the same manner regardless of whether a touch sensor or non-contact sensor is used or where the clutch shaft is mounted.

KO The step of automatically returning the first track 10 of the communicator 10 to its original position where the second track 20 of the communicator is fully exposed or completely obscured after the walk-in stop signal is applied to the drive motor:

As stated above, the method for automatically operating a slider-type mobile station according to the present invention comprises steps (a) to (c). Preferably, the automatic drive method according to the present invention further comprises step (d).

When the mobile station is subjected to external force during the auto-open / close operation, the sliding motion of the first piece of the communication device is interrupted and thus the rotation of the ham-20 masculine wheel 35 stops.

As a result, the rotation of the clutch slide 32 and the steering cam 34 engaged with the gear wheel stops, even though the motor 40 continues to rotate, and the spring täi \ completes.

As a result, the first piece of the sliding-type communication device of the present invention can be opened or closed stable, although the first piece of the mobile station is subjected to external force during its automatic sliding motion.

The present invention is directed not only to a method of automatically operating a slider type mobile station comprising the above steps, but also to a method of detecting a call to an automatic slider type mobile station. The communication unit of the mobile station is mounted on a slider-type mobile station 10 including a first piece of the communication piece and a second piece of the communication piece which may be slid relative to one another by the drive motor to expose or cover the second piece of the item. The slider-type mobile station further includes position detection means that directly detect a relative position (fully open position 15 or fully closed position) between the first piece of the communication piece and the second piece of the piece of communication, as shown in Figure 6.

The upcoming call detection method of the present invention comprises the following steps. FIG. 12 is a block diagram illustrating a method for detecting a call to an automatic Liu-20 picture type mobile station.

When the incoming call detection signal is supplied to the drive control unit as described above, the drive control unit determines the direction of rotation of the drive motor depending on whether another piece of communication is present or covered. Advantageously, whether the second piece of the communication device is exposed or covered can be determined by means of a position detection object and detection means.

As shown in Fig. 6, the position detection object C (62) is attached to another piece of the communication device. The position detection object C (62) is detected by means of at least two detection means A (61) and B (61 ') attached to the first body 10 of the communication device to determine the direction of rotation of the motor.

When the second piece of the communication is detected, the direction of rotation of the drive motor is determined such that the drive motor causes the first piece of the communication to slide in the direction covering the second piece of the communication. The drive motor is again supplied with the drive signal determined in the above manner. In the event that the second piece of the communication device is obscured, an operating signal is applied which is in the opposite direction to the aforesaid rotation direction, i.e., the first piece of the communication device opens.
