The display module 3000 or the substrate 4000 disposed under the touch pressure sensing module 2000 may serve as a reference potential layer.

    Referring to FIG. 11a, the touch pressure sensing module 2000 according to the embodiment includes a first electrode 2100 formed in one layer and a spacer layer 2400 formed in a lower portion of the layer where the first electrode 2100 is formed. , And a reference potential layer 2500 formed under the spacer layer 2400.

    At this time, the first electrode 2100 includes a plurality of electrodes 6100 as shown in FIG. 17A, and a drive signal is input to each electrode 6100, and information about self-capacitance is received from each electrode. A sensing signal including may be output. When pressure is applied to the touch panel 20 by an object such as a user's finger or a stylus, as shown in FIG. 11b, the first electrode 2100 will bend at least at the touch position, and the first electrode 2100 and the reference potential The distance d from the layer 2500 will change, and this will change the self-capacitance of the first electrode 2100. Therefore, the operation control system 1 can detect the touch pressure by measuring the self-capacitance of the first electrode 2100 that changes when pressure is applied to the touch panel 20 by an object such as a user's finger or stylus. it can. Thus, since the 1st electrode 2100 is comprised with the some electrode 6100, the pressure of each multi-touch input into the touch panel 20 simultaneously can be detected. In addition, when it is not necessary to detect the pressure of each multi-touch, it is only necessary to detect the overall pressure applied to the touch panel 20 regardless of the touch position, so the first electrode 2100 of the touch pressure sensing module 2000 is The electrode 6600 may be configured as shown in FIG. 17d.

A sensing signal including information on mutual capacitance may be output from the other one. When pressure is applied to the touch panel 20, as shown in FIG. 11d, the first electrode 2100 and the second electrode 2200 bend at least at the touch position, and the first electrode 2100 and the second electrode 2200 and the reference potential layer The distance d between the first electrode 2100 and the second electrode 2200 will change. Therefore, the operation control system 1 can detect the touch pressure by measuring the mutual capacitance between the first electrode 2100 and the second electrode 2200 that changes when pressure is applied to the touch panel 20. Thus, since each of the first electrode 2100 and the second electrode 2200 includes a plurality of first electrodes 6200 and a plurality of second electrodes 6300, the pressures of the multi-touches simultaneously input to the touch panel 20 are detected. be able to.

However, when pressure is applied to the touch panel 20, as shown in FIG. 11f, the first electrode 2100 bends at least at the touch position, and the distance d between the first electrode 2100 and the second electrode 2200 is As a result, the mutual capacitance between the first electrode 2100 and the second electrode 2200 changes. Therefore, the operation control system 1 can detect the touch pressure by measuring the mutual capacitance between the first electrode 2100 and the second electrode 2200.

    As shown in FIG. 12, the touch panel 20 according to the second embodiment includes a touch position-pressure sensing module 5000, a display module 3000 disposed below the touch position-pressure sensing module 5000, and the display module 3000. The substrate 4000 may be included in the lower portion.

    Unlike the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the touch position-pressure sensing module 5000 according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 12 has at least one electrode for sensing the touch position and at least one for sensing the touch pressure. In this case, at least one of the electrodes is used to sense a touch position and a touch pressure. Thus, by sharing the electrode for sensing the touch position and the electrode for sensing the touch pressure, the manufacturing cost of the touch position-pressure sensing module is lowered, and the overall thickness of the touch panel 20 is reduced. And the manufacturing process can be simplified. Thus, in the case where the electrode for sensing the touch position and the electrode for sensing the touch pressure are shared, it is necessary to distinguish between the sensing signal including information on the touch position and the sensing signal including information on the touch pressure. In this case, the frequency of the drive signal for sensing the touch position and the drive signal for sensing the touch pressure is separated, or the time interval for sensing the touch position and the time interval for sensing the touch pressure are separated, The touch position and the touch pressure can be distinguished and sensed.

When the pressure is applied to the touch panel 20 by the object, the distance d between the first electrode 5100 and the reference potential layer 5500 changes, and thereby the self-electrostatic potential of the first electrode 2100 is changed. Touch pressure can be detected through a change in capacitance.

    As shown in FIG. 13c, the touch position-pressure sensing module 5000 according to the embodiment is formed in a first electrode 5100 formed in one layer and a lower layer of the layer in which the first electrode 5100 is formed.

As shown in FIG. 13d, when an object such as a user's finger is close to the first electrode 5100, the finger acts as a ground, and the touch position is changed through a change in self-capacitance of the first electrode 5100. In addition, when pressure is applied to the touch panel 20 by the object, the distance d between the first electrode 5100 and the second electrode 5200 and the reference potential layer 5500 changes, and thereby the first electrode The touch pressure can be detected through a change in mutual capacitance between the 5100 and the second electrode 5200.

    In addition, according to the embodiment, the first electrode 5100 and the second electrode 5200 are each composed of a plurality of first electrodes 6200 and a plurality of second electrodes 6300 as shown in FIG. May be arranged. At this time, the touch position can be detected through a change in mutual capacitance between the first electrode 5100 and the second electrode 5200, and a second change due to a change in the distance d between the second electrode 5200 and the reference potential layer 5500. Touch pressure can be detected through a change in self-capacitance of electrode 5200. In addition, according to the embodiment, a touch position can be detected through a change in mutual capacitance between the first electrode 5100 and the second electrode 5200, and the first electrode 5100, the second electrode 5200, and the reference potential layer 5500 can be detected. The touch pressure can be detected through a change in mutual capacitance between the first electrode 5100 and the second electrode 5200 according to a change in the distance d therebetween.

    At this time, even when the first electrode 5100 and the second electrode 5200 are formed in the same layer, the touch position and pressure may be sensed as described with reference to FIGS. 13c and 13d. . However, in FIGS. 13c and 13d, for the embodiment in which the electrodes must be configured as in FIG. 17b, the first electrode 5100 and the second electrode 5200 are formed in the same layer.

The color clarity, visibility, and light transmittance of the display module 3000 may be reduced. Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of such a problem, the touch position sensing module 1000 and the display module 2000 are completely laminated using an adhesive such as OCA (Optically Clear Adhesive), and then touched. By disposing the pressure sensing module 2000 below the display module 3000, the above-described problems can be reduced and eliminated.

    In FIG. 14, it has been described that the display module 3000 is disposed below the touch position sensing module 1000. However, a form in which the touch position sensing module 1000 is included in the display module 3000 is also possible. 14, the touch pressure sensing module 2000 is described as being disposed below the display module 3000. However, a form in which a part of the touch pressure sensing module 2000 is included in the display module 3000 is also possible. Specifically, the reference potential layer 2500 of the touch pressure sensing module 2000 may be disposed inside the display module 3000, and electrodes 2100 and 2200 may be formed under the display module 3000. When the reference potential layer 2500 is disposed in the display module 3000 as described above, the entire touch panel can be formed by using the gap formed in the display module 3000 as a spacer layer for sensing touch pressure. The thickness of 20 can be reduced. At this time, electrodes 2100 and 2200 may be formed on the substrate 4000. As described above, if the electrodes 2100 and 2200 are formed on the upper part of the substrate 4000, not only the gap formed in the display module 3000 but also the gap formed between the display module 3000 and the substrate 4000. By using it as a spacer layer for sensing touch pressure, the sensitivity for sensing touch pressure can be increased a little more.

    FIG. 16a illustrates a structural diagram of a screen according to the fourth embodiment. As shown in FIG. 16 a, the touch panel 20 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention may include at least one of a touch position sensing module and a touch pressure sensing module in the display module 3000.

    16b and 16c are structural diagrams for touch pressure sensing and touch position sensing of the touch panel according to the fourth embodiment, respectively. 16B and 16C illustrate an LCD panel as the display module 3000. FIG.

    In the case of an LCD panel, the display module 3000 may include a TFT layer 3100 and a color filter layer 3300 (color filter layer). The TFT layer 3100 includes a TFT substrate layer 3110 located immediately above it. The color filter layer 3300 includes a color filter substrate layer 3200 located immediately below. The display module 3000 includes a liquid crystal layer 3600 (liquid crystal layer) between the TFT layer 3100 and the color filter layer 3300. At this time, the TFT substrate layer 3110 includes electrical components necessary to generate an electric field for driving the liquid crystal layer 3600. In particular, the TFT substrate layer 3110 may include various layers including a data line, a gate line, a TFT, a common electrode, and a pixel electrode. These electrical components can operate to generate a controlled electric field to align the liquid crystal located in the liquid crystal layer 3600. More specifically, the TFT substrate layer 3110 may include a column common electrode 3430 (Column Vcom), a row common electrode 3410 (low Vcom), and a guard shielding electrode 3420 (Guard shield electrode). The guard shield electrode 3420 may be positioned between the column common electrode 3430 and the row common electrode 3410, and may minimize interference caused by a fringe field that may occur between the guard common electrode 3430 and the row common electrode 3410. The above description of the LCD panel is obvious to those skilled in the LCD art.

    As illustrated in FIG. 16 b, the display module 3000 of the present invention may include a sub-photo spacer 3500 disposed on the color filter substrate layer 3200. These sub-photo spacers 3500 may be disposed on a boundary point between the row common electrode 3410 and the adjacent guard shield electrode 3420. At this time, a conductive material layer 3510 such as ITO may be patterned on the sub-photo spacer 3500. Here, the fringe capacitance C1 is formed between the row common electrode 3410 and the conductive material layer 3510, and the fringe capacitance C2 is formed between the guard shielding electrode 3420 and the conductive material layer 3510. Good.

    When the display module 3000 as illustrated in FIG. 16b operates as a touch pressure sensing module, the external pressure reduces the distance between the sub-photo spacer 3500 and the TFT substrate layer 3110, thereby reducing the row common electrode 3410 and the guard. The capacitance with the shielding electrode 3420 can be reduced. Accordingly, in FIG. 16b, the conductive material layer 3510 serves as a reference potential layer, and senses the touch pressure by sensing the change in capacitance between the row common electrode 3410 and the guard shield electrode 3420. Can do.

    FIG. 16c illustrates the structure of the LCD panel when the display module 3000 is used as a touch position sensing module. FIG. 16c illustrates the arrangement of the common electrodes 3730. At this time, these common electrodes 3730 can be grouped into a first region 3710 and a second region 3720 in order to detect a touch position. Thus, for example, the common electrode 3730 included in one first region 3710 may be operated to function corresponding to the first electrode 6400 of FIG. 17c, and may be included in one second region 3720. The common electrode 3730 may be operated to function corresponding to the second electrode 6500 of FIG. 17c. That is, the common electrode 3730 may be grouped in order to use the common electrode 3730, which is an electrical configuration for operating the LCD panel, to detect the touch position. And can be achieved by operating operations.

    As seen in detail above, the display module 3000 as illustrated in FIG. 16 functions as the display module 3000 by causing the electrical components of the display module 3000 to operate as intended. Can do. The display module 3000 may function as a touch pressure sensing module by causing at least some of the electrical components of the display module 3000 to operate for touch pressure sensing. In addition, the display module 3000 may function as a touch position sensing module by causing at least some of the electrical components of the display module 3000 to operate for touch position sensing. At this time, each operation mode can be operated in a time division manner. That is, the display module 3000 may operate as a display module during the first time period, function as a pressure sensing module during the second time period, and / or as a position sensing module during the third time period.

    In FIGS. 16b and 16c, for the sake of illustration only the respective structures for touch pressure and position sensing are illustrated and operating the electrical components for the display operation of the display module 3000. If the display module 3000 can be used for touch pressure and / or touch position sensing, the display module 3000 may be included in the fourth embodiment.

    FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a target motion control system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

    Referring to FIG. 1, the target motion control system 1 includes a touch sensing module 10, a touch panel 20, a change sensing module 30, and a motion module 40.

    In addition, the term “module” used here represents a logical structural unit, and is not necessarily a physically separated component. Those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs will be understood. This is a trivial matter.

    The touch panel 20 can detect presence / absence of touch by a moving object, touch intensity, touch area, and / or touch time, and corresponds to a kind of sensor and may include a concept of a touch screen. The touch panel 20 according to the embodiment of the invention can allow the user to operate the operation control system 1 by touching (contacting) the surface of the touch panel 20 with a finger or the like.

    The touch panel 20 according to an embodiment of the invention is a sensor that enables detection of the presence / absence of a touch, a touch position, a strength of a touch pressure, a touch area, and / or a touch time when touching the surface. By interpreting such a touch, operation control can be performed accordingly.

    The touch sensing module 10 can recognize the presence or absence of a single touch or multiple touches due to at least one moving object on the touch panel 20, and can detect a state in which the touch panel 20 is pressed. The touch position (or coordinates) can also be detected. In the operation control system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the touch sensing module 10 can measure the amount of change in capacitance due to touch on the touch panel 20.

    If the at least one moving object contacts the touch panel 20 once within a predetermined time, it is recognized as the single touch, and the at least one moving object is determined in advance on the touch panel 20. If it corresponds to touching two or more times within a given time, it is recognized as the multiple touch.

    The change detection module 30 can detect a change in the intensity, touch area and / or touch time of the touch pressure applied to the touch panel by the moving object touching the touch panel 20, and quantifying the change to the target. It can also be stored in the operation control system 1.

    Specifically, the change sensing module 30 can calculate the touch area on the touch panel 20 based on the amount of change in capacitance measured by the touch sensing module 20. The change sensing module 30 may calculate the area of the touch from the amount of change in capacitance according to a touch applied to the touch panel 20 by a moving object. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when the area of the object touched on the touch panel 20 is a, the total amount of change in capacitance is 90 (= 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10). Further, the total amount of change in capacitance when the area of the moving object touched on the touch panel 20 is b is 310 (= 50 + 45 + 45 + 45 + 45 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20). That is, the size of the touch area touching the touch panel 20 may be calculated from the amount of change in capacitance on the touch panel 20.

    Further, the intensity of the pressure with which the object touches the touch panel 20 can also be calculated from the amount of change in capacitance. More specifically, as the strength of the touch pressure applied to the touch panel 20 by the moving object increases, the total amount of change in capacitance may also increase. For example, as shown in the upper part of FIG. 3, the total amount of change in capacitance when the object touches the touch panel 20 without pressure is 90 (= 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10). Here, the touch area may be the same as a in FIG. Further, as shown in the lower part of FIG. 3, the total amount of change in capacitance when a pressure is applied to a moving object having the same touch area as the object in the upper part of FIG. It may be 570 (= 90 + 70 + 70 + 70 + 70 + 50 + 50 + 50 + 50).

    That is, even when the touch area where the moving object touches the touch panel 20 increases or the touch area does not increase, the total amount of change in capacitance changes as the touch pressure intensity increases. . Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the area of the moving object that touches the touch panel 20 changes and / or when the strength of the pressure that touches the touch panel 20 changes, the change detection module 30 is calculated from the amount of change in capacitance. May be calculated by changing the touch area and / or the strength of the touch pressure.

    In addition, the change detection module 30 can detect the touch time that the moving object touching the touch panel 20 gives on the touch panel, and the change time can be converted into a numerical value and stored in the target motion control system 1. it can.

    Further, the change sensing module 30 can calculate the touch time on the touch panel 20 based on the amount of change in capacitance measured by the touch sensing module 20. The change sensing module 30 may calculate a touch time from the amount of change in capacitance according to time associated with a touch applied to the touch panel 20 by a moving object. For example, the touch time may be a time during which the amount of change in capacitance is maintained at a predetermined value or more. Here, the predetermined value may be a value of a minimum amount of change in capacitance for allowing a touch on the touch panel 20 to be recognized as an effective touch, or may be a value set according to an embodiment as necessary. . FIG. 4A illustrates a case where the predetermined value is 20, and at this time, the touch time may be 8t (9t-1t). Further, the touch time in FIG. 4b may be 4t (5t-1t).

    For example, the change sensing module 30 senses a change in the intensity of touch pressure touching the touch panel 20, senses a change in touch area, senses a touch time, and / or determines a predetermined time. It is also possible to sense changes in the number of times touched inside. In addition, the greater the sensed touch pressure intensity, touch area and / or touch time, the greater the numerical value can be expressed, and the sensed touch pressure intensity, touch area and / or touch time gradually. As it grows, the numbers will gradually increase. The change detection module 30 may detect the change and cause the operation module 40 to perform an operation to be operated.

    According to the embodiments of the present invention, as described above, the touch pressure intensity, the touch area, the touch time, and / or the number of touches can be detected and applied to various embodiments.

    In an embodiment of the present invention, when an operation is performed on a target for which a dual operation is required, the first operation of the dual operation includes the strength of the touch pressure, the touch area, and / or the first predetermined condition. Alternatively, the remaining second operation of the dual operations is followed by the first touch according to the second predetermined condition of the touch pressure intensity, the touch area, and / or the touch time. It can be performed with multiple touches consisting of a second touch based on the strength of the touch pressure, the touch area, and / or the touch time under the same conditions as the single touch.

    Here, each of the single touch and the multiple touch may be performed within a preset time interval. That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the two operations for a specific operation object are all performed with the touch pressure intensity, the touch area and / or the touch time under the same first predetermined condition. For any one of the two operations, the touch pressure of the second predetermined condition may be detected before the touch of the first predetermined condition, the touch area, and / or the touch time. The touch is further performed according to the strength, the touch area, and / or the touch time.

    FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an application example of target motion control based on single touch and multiple touch according to an embodiment of the present invention.

    Referring to FIG. 5, object operations based on single touch and multiple touch according to an embodiment of the present invention include volume up / down, map / object enlargement / reduction, camera zoom-in (zoom). in) / zoom out, object movement direction adjustment, scroll movement direction adjustment, contrast adjustment, and saturation adjustment.

    Let's take a more detailed look at application examples. The enlargement / reduction of the map / object indicates a case where the size of the content displayed on the touch panel 20 is increased or decreased. For example, when a map is displayed on the touch panel 20, the map can be enlarged or reduced. Alternatively, the size of enlargement / reduction with respect to a specific object displayed on the touch panel 20 can be adjusted. For example, only an image such as a photograph displayed on the touch panel 20 can be enlarged / reduced. Volume up / down indicates a case where a device including the operation control system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention increases or decreases the volume of a corresponding file when playing a video or audio file. . In the case of zooming in / out of the camera, it shows adjusting the focus of the camera with the motion control system 1 according to an embodiment of the invention. For example, it is possible to enlarge or reduce an object captured via a camera lens. The adjustment of the moving direction of the target object is to adjust the moving direction for selecting a specific target object among a plurality of target objects, or a specific target object displayed on the touch panel 20 within the touch panel 20. Can do. For example, a plurality of photographs displayed on the touch panel 20 can be moved forward or backward. The scroll movement direction can be moved in the scroll movement direction, for example, up and down or left and right, when scroll is explicitly or implicitly displayed on the touch panel 20. The adjustment of brightness / saturation may indicate that the brightness or saturation value of the touch panel 20 is adjusted.

    6A and 6B show an operation example by single touch and multiple touches when the operation target is a map.

    FIG. 6A is a diagram illustrating a change in the first motion due to a single touch when an example of the motion target is a map. The operation of enlarging the map may correspond to the first operation. At this time, the first operation may be performed by a single touch having a first predetermined condition of touch pressure intensity, a touch area, and / or a touch time, which is performed during a preset time. It can be seen that the map gradually expands as the single touch that satisfies the first predetermined condition persists. Thereafter, when the finger is moved away from the touch panel 20, the expansion of the map is stopped.

    When at least one of the strength of the touch pressure and the size of the touch area is changed during the performance of the motion target, the motion performance condition can be changed. When enlarging a map, increasing the touch pressure and / or increasing the touch area during a single touch of the first predetermined condition may increase the map enlarging speed, decrease the touch pressure, and / or Alternatively, the map enlargement speed can be reduced by reducing the touch area. At this time, the first operation can be maintained only when the first predetermined condition is continuously satisfied.

    FIG. 6B is a diagram illustrating a change in the second motion different from the first motion due to multiple touches, where an example of the motion target is a map. As shown in FIG. 6b, the operation of reducing the map may correspond to the second operation. At this time, the second operation may be performed by multiple touches within an already set time interval. At this time, the multiple touch is performed in the same way as the single touch, the touch pressure intensity of the first predetermined condition, the touch area of the second predetermined condition before the second touch according to the touch area and / or touch time, and the touch. It further includes a first touch according to area and / or touch time. The reason why the first touch is further included in the multiple touch is to enable the single touch and the multiple touch to be distinguished. As the first touch of the second predetermined condition and the second touch of the first predetermined condition are made within the already set time interval, and the second touch that satisfies the first predetermined condition continues, the map gradually You can see it being reduced. Thereafter, when the finger moves away from the touch panel 20, the reduction of the map stops.

    When the map is reduced, after the first touch, by increasing the touch pressure during the second touch and / or increasing the touch area, the reduction speed of the map can be increased, and the touch pressure can be reduced. In addition, the reduction speed of the map can be reduced by reducing the touch area. At this time, the first operation can be maintained only when the first predetermined condition is continuously satisfied.

    Further, when the operation target is adjustment of the volume size, the operation of increasing the volume size value may correspond to the first operation, and the operation of decreasing the volume size value is the second operation. It may fall under. At this time, the first operation may be performed by a single touch having a first predetermined condition of touch pressure intensity, a touch area, and / or a touch time, which is performed during a preset time. The second operation may be performed by multiple touches within a preset time interval. At this time, the multiple touch is performed in the same way as the single touch, the touch pressure intensity of the first predetermined condition, the touch area of the second predetermined condition before the second touch according to the touch area and / or touch time, and the touch. It further includes a first touch according to area and / or touch time. The reason why the first touch is further included in the multiple touch is to enable the single touch and the multiple touch to be distinguished.

    At this time, when increasing the volume value, the speed at which the volume value increases by increasing the touch pressure and / or increasing the touch area during a single touch under the first predetermined condition. The speed at which the volume value increases can be reduced by reducing the touch pressure and / or reducing the touch area. At this time, the first operation can be maintained only when the first predetermined condition is continuously satisfied. Similarly, when the volume value is decreased, the volume value is decreased by increasing the touch pressure during the second touch and / or increasing the touch area after the first touch. The speed can be increased, and the speed at which the volume size value decreases can be reduced by lowering the touch pressure and / or reducing the touch area.

    Such an operation for dual operation may be equally applied to other operation targets. In addition, the operation condition that is changed according to the strength of the touch pressure and / or the size of the touch area may be different for each operation target, or may be set to be different for each embodiment.

    When the at least one moving object touches the touch panel 20 with a single touch or multiple touches, the motion module 40 identifies a motion target by the single touch or multiple touches, and the touch pressure detected by the change sensing module 30 is detected. Depending on the strength, the touch area and / or the touch time, and the change, the operation target is performed in a predetermined operation by a single touch or multiple touches.

    When the change sensing module 30 senses the single touch, the motion module 40 performs a first motion of the motion target, and includes a first predetermined condition touch pressure intensity, a touch area, and the like for the single touch. When it is detected that the touch time is not maintained, the first operation can be stopped. It may be determined whether a new single touch or multiple touches will be made later, and the first operation associated therewith may be performed again, or the second operation may be performed.

    In addition, the operation module 40 performs a first operation and a second operation of the operation target according to a detected touch pressure intensity, a touch area and / or a touch time by the single touch and the multiple touch, When the intensity of the touch pressure, the touch area, and / or the touch time are not maintained depending on the conditions of the multiple touches, the first operation and the second operation to be performed are stopped.

    The target motion control method based on touch performed by the target motion control system 1 will be specifically described below.

    FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a target motion control method based on touch according to an embodiment of the present invention.

    Referring to FIG. 7, the target motion control system 1 recognizes a touch by the at least one moving object on the touch panel 20 (S110). At this time, the at least one moving object may correspond to a part of a human body or may correspond to a stylus pen or the like.

    The target motion control system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention determines whether the touch is a single touch or multiple touches (S120). A single touch is a single touch having a first predetermined condition of touch pressure intensity, touch area and / or touch time during a predetermined time, and multiple touches during a predetermined time. And a second touch having a first pressure touch intensity, a touch area and / or a touch time of a second predetermined condition and a touch pressure intensity, touch area and / or touch time of the first predetermined condition. .

    For example, the touch pressure intensity, the touch area, and / or the touch time of the first predetermined condition may be gradually increased when the touch pressure intensity is greater than a predetermined value when the touch pressure intensity is greater than a predetermined value. In the case where the touch area is maintained at a predetermined value or larger, the touch area is gradually increased to be larger than the predetermined value, the touch time is maintained for a predetermined time, or the case described above It may be a case where at least two or more are combined. The touch pressure intensity, touch area, and / or touch time of the second predetermined condition may be touched when the touch pressure intensity is less than a predetermined value, or when the touch pressure intensity gradually decreases below the predetermined value. When the area is maintained at a size less than a predetermined value, when the touch area is gradually reduced below a predetermined value, when the touch time is maintained below a predetermined time, or at least of the cases described above It may be a case where two or more are combined.

    The target motion control system 1 can first identify a motion target due to the single touch or multiple touches. Such an identification step may be performed after a touch on the touch panel 20 is recognized, or after determining whether the touch is a single touch or multiple touches.

    The operation target may correspond to a specific object on the touch panel 20 output by a program executed by the target operation control system 1. For example, a scroll on the touch panel 20, a map on the touch panel 20, It may correspond to an object including an audio volume (or volume), a video playback speed, and the like.

    At this time, the step of identifying the operation target is not necessarily required. For example, when a map is displayed on the touch panel 20, the operation target by touching the touch panel 20 can be determined immediately by enlarging and / or reducing the map. In addition, when a volume key is displayed on the touch panel 20 and a touch is made on the corresponding volume key, an operation target by the touch can be immediately determined by the volume key. .

    The target motion control system 1 senses the intensity, the touch area, and / or the touch time of the touch pressure on the touch panel 20 through the moving object that has performed the touch (S130).

    As a result of the sensing, if the touch condition by the single touch and the multiple touch is continuously satisfied, the single touch or the multiple touch can be performed according to a predetermined operation standard (S140).

    The target operation control system 1 may detect a change in the strength of the touch pressure and / or the size of the touch area due to the touch by internally quantifying the amount of change in the capacitance. For example, if the total amount of change in capacitance that is internally quantified increases from 10 to 20, it is detected that the strength of the touch pressure and the touch area increase, and decreases from 10 to 5. In some cases, it can be detected that the strength of the touch pressure and the touch area on the touch panel 20 are reduced. At this time, the target motion control system 1 may internally quantify the total amount of change in capacitance, and may detect a change in the intensity of touch pressure and / or the size of the touch area. When the first predetermined condition is satisfied but a change in the strength of the touch pressure and / or the size of the touch area is detected, the performance of the first operation and the second operation may be changed accordingly. For example, when the first motion to be operated is map enlargement, the map enlargement speed may gradually increase if the strength of the touch pressure gradually increases. Alternatively, when the second motion to be operated is map reduction, the map reduction speed may gradually increase if the strength of the touch pressure gradually increases. As described above, the operation condition for the operation target may be changed due to the change in the touch pressure intensity and / or the touch area.

    Further, in step S130 of detecting the pressure intensity, the touch area size, and / or the touch time on the touch panel, it is detected that the touch does not continue any longer, or the touch state satisfies the first predetermined condition. When the above is not satisfied, the performance of the operation by the single touch or the multiple touch can be stopped.

    That is, as a result of sensing the intensity of touch pressure, the touch area and / or the touch time, if it is determined that the touch pressure intensity, touch area and / or touch time due to the touch is not maintained, the operation corresponding to the touch is performed. It may be stopped (STOP). The target motion control system 1 can sense whether a touch corresponding to a new single touch or multiple touches is input later.

    FIG. 8b illustrates multiple touches according to an embodiment of the present invention. Multiple touches may include two touches during a predetermined time. That is, the multiple touch may include a first touch and a second touch. At this time, the second touch may be a touch having the same condition as the single touch as illustrated in FIG. 8a. The first touch may have a condition that the touch pressure is smaller than that of the second touch, the touch area is small, the touch time is short, or the above-described matters are combined. At this time, the time for the moving object to release the touch on the touch panel 20 may be included between the first touch and the second touch. Such a contact release time is compared with the touch time of the second touch. It may be relatively short.

    In this specification, the single touch may be a single touch during a predetermined time and may satisfy a first predetermined condition, and multiple touches may be performed during a predetermined time. The first touch that satisfies the second predetermined condition and the second touch that satisfies the first predetermined condition may be included. Here, the predetermined time may be set differently depending on the embodiment.
