Description
The present invention relates to an angle measuring apparatus and method using an acceleration sensor, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for measuring an angle using a portable terminal having an acceleration sensor.
A portable terminal is a portable device that is portable and has one or more functions of making voice and video calls, inputting / outputting information, and specifying data.
As the functions of the portable terminals are diversified, they are equipped with complex functions such as photographing or video recording, playing music files or video files, receiving games, broadcasting, and wireless Internet, and are being implemented as a comprehensive multimedia device. . In addition, various additional functions have recently been provided by portable terminals implemented in the form of such multimedia devices.
On the other hand, in general, when an angle (angle) measurement is required, a protractor (protractor) that is a tool for measuring the angle is required, but it is inconvenient for the user to always carry the protractor for measuring the angle.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide convenience to the user by providing an angle measuring function through a portable terminal which has been widely spread recently and is always portable by the user.
It is an object of the present invention from the angle measurement start point to the angle measurement end point based on the sensor value detected according to the change of the resistance value or the capacitance value by the rotation of the fan shape from the angle measurement start point to the angle measurement end point. The present invention provides an angle measuring apparatus and method using an acceleration sensor that provides an angle measuring function through a portable terminal.
An angle measuring device using an acceleration sensor according to the present invention for achieving the above object is a control unit for receiving the angle measurement start point and the angle measurement end point, the resistance value by the rotation of the fan shape from the angle measurement start point to the angle measurement end point Or an acceleration sensor unit for detecting a sensor value according to a change in the capacitance value, and a controller for calculating an angle from the angle measurement start point to the angle measurement end point based on the detected sensor value.

3 is a diagram illustrating a chip configuration of an acceleration sensor according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 3, the acceleration sensor chip according to an embodiment of the present invention may include
An acceleration sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention may be provided as a piezoresistive acceleration sensor, which may include one or more piezoresistive resistance and a proof mass.
At this time, the piezoresistive acceleration sensor uses the semiconductor piezoresistive effect for acceleration detection. Piezo-resistive effect utilizes the principle that when mechanical external force is applied to the crystal, the crystal lattice is deformed and the change in the number of carriers and mobility in the semiconductor leads to a change in resistance.
On the other hand, the piezoresistive acceleration sensor can be equipped with three axes. That is, the piezoresistive acceleration sensor may have four piezo resistors per axis at the highest stress concentration position in the bridge, and may have 12 piezo resistors in all three axes.
In addition, the signal proportional to the acceleration may constitute a Wheatstone bridge circuit with four piezo resistors on each axis to detect a change due to stress as a voltage change, that is, a voltage value.
For example, when acceleration is applied to a piezoresistive acceleration sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention, a change in a proof mass occurs. That is, for the acceleration in the x- and y-axis directions, the piezo resistors R1 and R3 of the bridge may increase in tensile stress and the compressive stress in R2 and R4 may decrease in resistance. In addition, in the case of deformation in the z-axis direction, the resistance shifts opposite to R1, R4, R2, and R3 occurs by moving further in the vertical direction. Changes in these resistance values can be calculated as voltage values through the bridge circuit.
On the other hand, in the capacitive accelerometer type accelerometer according to another embodiment of the present invention, a proof mass is located at the center between electrodes, and if there is no acceleration, the proof mass is located at the center. If acceleration is applied, it moves from the center position to the opposite electrode, causing a difference in capacitance.
4 is a view showing a relationship between the change in the resistance value or the capacitance value and the angle according to the fan-shaped rotation of the portable terminal.
Referring to FIG. 4, when a mobile terminal having an acceleration sensor is rotated in a fan shape in the XY axis (ie, in a vertical direction), and rotates in a fan shape in the vertical direction in an OG state, the earth Since gravity has a gravity acceleration of 1 G in the vertical direction, the sensor value according to the change in the resistance value or the capacitance value corresponding to 1 G may be detected by the acceleration sensor when it is 90 degrees, that is, vertical.
In this case, the change in the acceleration of gravity is a relationship of sin θ, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, when the sensor value corresponding to the acceleration of the gravity of 0.5G is measured, the inclination angle may be converted to 30 degrees. That is, when the inclination of 45 degrees in the X-axis direction, the sensor value according to the change in the resistance value or the capacitance value corresponding to 0.707G calculated by multiplying 1G and sin45 can be detected.
5 is a flowchart illustrating an angle measuring method using an acceleration sensor according to the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 5, the angle measuring device using the acceleration sensor according to the present invention may check whether a protractor mode is selected (S502), and if so, operate the acceleration sensor and operate the camera mode (S502). S504). In this case, the angle measuring device using the acceleration sensor may display a crosshair through the display unit (S506).
In addition, the angle measuring device using the acceleration sensor checks whether the traveling direction is the forward direction (S508), and when the traveling direction is the forward direction, an angle increase is displayed on the display unit (S510), indicating that the angle measurement is in the forward direction. You can inform.
On the other hand, as a result of checking in step S508, when the traveling direction is not the forward direction, the angle measuring device using the acceleration sensor displays the angle decrease on the display (S520), to inform that the angle measurement is in the opposite direction rather than the forward direction Can be.
On the other hand, the angle measuring device using the acceleration sensor checks whether the end point is selected (S512), when the end point is selected, by the rotation in the forward direction from the start point to the end point or in the opposite direction rather than the forward direction The angle may be calculated (S514), and the calculated angle may be displayed (S516).

Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are not intended to limit the technical idea of the present invention but to describe the present invention, and the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments.
