** How to control touch operation of LCD and TOLED

The method of controlling the touch operation may be divided into a form of a complete overlap, a part of a overlap form, and a completely separated form according to the degree to which the LCD 151 and the TOLED 154 overlap each other. A mobile terminal having a transparent display according to the present invention requires different touch operations according to the degree of overlap between the LCD 151 and the TOLED 154.

FIG. 56 is a terminal having a transparent display according to the present invention in a dual form, and is an exemplary view for explaining a display control method according to whether each display overlaps, and the LCD 151 and the TOLED 154 completely overlap. Figure 1 shows an example of form (a), some overlap form (b, c), and completely separated form (d).

*** Complete overlap of LCD and TOLED

57A to 57C are exemplary diagrams for describing a method of controlling a touch operation when each display is completely overlapped in FIG. 56.

Hereinafter, a touch operation detected in a fully overlapped form will be described by dividing it into touch (or proximity touch), long touch, long touch, and drag.

When a touch from outside (real touch) or proximity-touch is detected, the controller 180 displays a display disposed on the upper surface of the corresponding touch point 341 as shown in FIG. : Assuming that the TOLED 154 is superimposed on the upper surface of the LCD 151, the image list displayed on the TOLED 154 is selected or run.

The mobile terminal according to the present invention may include various sensors to perform various sensing functions, and may include a proximity sensor or a tactile sensor in the sensing unit 140 to detect a proximity-touch.

When the touch sensed from the outside is a long touch (at least 2 seconds to 3 seconds or more), the controller 180 displays a display superimposed on the lower surface (lower, lower, inner surface) of the corresponding touch point as shown in FIG. 57B. (For example, assuming that the LCD 151 overlaps the bottom surface of the TOLED 154, the image list displayed on the LCD 151 is selected. The selected image is then displayed on the TOLED 154. The long touch is also used to selectively move a desired object among the objects displayed on the LCD to the TOLED. The user long touches a specific object on the LCD and moves it to the TOLED for display. Meanwhile, when unnecessary objects are displayed on the TOLED, objects of the TOLED may be selectively displayed on the LCD by using a predetermined touch input.

If the drag is sensed together with the long touch from the outside, the controller 180 may display the preview screen of the image selected by the long touch on the TOLED 154 as shown in FIG. 57C.

The selection cursor (or selection bar 342) of the LCD 151 is moved according to the drag, and the selection cursor 342 displays the selected image on the preview screen. Thereafter, when the touch from the outside disappears, the first image selected by the long touch is displayed. The touch operation (long touch + drag) of FIG. 57C is the same even when a slide (movement of the proximity touch corresponding to the drag) is detected from the outside together with the long proximity touch (the proximity touch lasting at least 2 seconds to 3 seconds). Is applied.

If touch operations other than those mentioned above are detected, the controller 180 may operate in the same manner as a general touch control method.

The touch operation control method in the completely overlapped form includes all types of terminals having a single display (for example, a folder type having a single display, a flip type, a slide type, a rotation type (Swivel, It can be applied to swing type, bar type, watch type, etc. In addition, a terminal having a dual display (for example, a closed state of a folder type terminal, a closed state of a flip type terminal, a closed state of a slide type terminal, and a rotation type (swivel, swing type) terminal) Closed state, closed state of watch type terminal, etc.).

*** Some overlap of LCD 151 and TOLED 154

58A and 58B are exemplary diagrams for describing a method of controlling a touch operation when a part of each display is overlapped in FIG. 56.

Hereinafter, a touch operation detected in a partially overlapped form will be described by being divided into touch (or proximity touch), long touch, long touch & drag, touch & drag, and the like.

58A illustrates a popup selection window area of the TOLED 154. As shown therein, the controller 180 senses a touch (real touch) or a proximity-touch from the outside. do. When the touch is detected, the touched position is detected. That is, it is detected whether the pop-up selection window area 345 displayed on the TOLED 154 is touched or the external area 346 of the pop-up selection window is touched, and performs different processing operations according to the detected touch positions. .

For example, when the touch is detected in the popup selection window area 345, the controller 180 selects a specific object (eg, a menu list, an execution icon, etc.) or performs the selected function. When the touch is detected in the external area 346 of the popup selection window of the TOLED 154, the touch may be no action or the popup selection window may be closed or canceled.

FIG. 58B illustrates the overlapped area 347 and the non-overlapped area 348. When the touch sensed from the outside is a long touch as shown in FIG. Different processing may be performed depending on whether the non-overlap area 348 is detected or the overlap area 347.

For example, if the touch is detected in the non-overlap area 348, the controller 180 selects a specific object (eg, a menu list, an execution icon, etc.) or performs a function thereof, and is detected in the overlap area 347. In this case, the touch motion control method in the completely overlapped form may be applied in the same manner.

In addition, even when the slide of the proximity touch is detected along with the long proximity touch from the outside, the process is the same as the touch operation (long touch + drag) described above.

On the other hand, when a drag is detected along with a real touch from the outside, the controller 180 may control a touch operation in a form in which the LCD 151 and the TOLED 154 are separated from each other. The same can be applied. Also, when the proximity touch and the slide of the proximity touch are sensed from the outside, the 'method of controlling the touch operation in the form in which the LCD 151 and the TOLED 154 are separated from each other' may be similarly applied.

As described above, the method of controlling the touch operation in the form where the LCD 151 and the TOLED 154 overlap with each other includes a terminal having a dual display (eg, an open state of a slide type terminal, a rotation type ( Swivel, Swing type) open terminal, etc.) can be applied.

*** LCD (151) and TOLED (154) are completely separated

Hereinafter, the touch operation detected in the form in which the LCD 151 and the TOLED 154 are completely separated will be described by dividing the touch operation into touch (or proximity touch), long touch, long touch and drag.

When an actual touch (or proximity touch) or long touch from the outside is detected, the controller 180 selects a specific object (eg, a menu list, an execution icon, etc.) located at the corresponding touch point of the TOLED 154 or performs a function thereof. To perform.

If a drag is detected together with a touch (actual touch) from the outside, the controller 180 may select or move an object (eg, a menu list, an execution icon, etc.) selected by the touch or perform a function thereof. have. For example, the copied contents (or the contents of the clipboard) are displayed on the TOLED 154 and pasted onto the LCD 151 by the above-described operation (touch + drag).

As another example, the object displayed on the TOLED 154 may be moved to the LCD 151 by the above-described operation (touch + drag).

As another example, the web page of the LCD 151 may be enlarged (or reduced) and displayed on the TOLED 154 by the above-described operation (touch + drag). At this time, control such as scrolling is also possible.

When a touch operation other than the above-described form is sensed, the controller 180 may operate in the same manner as a general touch control method.

As described above, 'the method of controlling the touch operation in the form in which the LCD 151 and the TOLED 154 are separated from each other' refers to an open state of a terminal having a dual display (eg, a folder type terminal device, a flip type terminal). Open state, open state of bar type terminal, open state of watch type terminal, etc.).

** Other Control Methods for Setting LCD and TOLED

*** vibration feedback and sound feedback

The present invention can have a separate vibration feedback or sound feedback in accordance with the operation of the LCD 151 or TOLED 154.

By differently setting the vibration feedback or the sound feedback between the LCD 151 or the TOLED 154, it is possible to know which display (LCD or TOLED) the user's input is applied to. For example, if a user's touch (usually touch or long touch) is input while the LCD 151 or TOLED 154 is completely overlapped (or partially overlapped), the controller 180 controls the type of the input touch. The operation of the LCD 151 or the operation of the TOLED 154 is controlled according to the user's intention. When controlling the operation of the LCD 151 and controlling the operation of the TOLED 154, different vibration feedback (or sound feedback) is generated.

Fig. 59 is a flowchart showing a method for setting feedback for operation of the LCD 151 or the TOLED 154.

As shown in FIG. 59, the user according to the present invention can set the feedback for the display (LCD, TOLED) operation, it can be checked whether their input acted on the LCD or TOLED.

When the feedback setting menu is executed (S10), the controller 180 first determines a feedback type (vibration feedback or sound feedback) according to the user's selection. If the determined feedback type is sound (S40), the controller 180 displays various sounds that can be set in the terminal so that the user can select a sound to be used for the feedback. The type of sound is determined by the user's choice. When the type of sound is determined, a display to which a predetermined feedback setting is applied is selected through the above process (). The controller 180 selects an applicable display (eg, 'LCD', 'TOLED', ' LCD + TOLED ',' None ', etc.) (S60), if the applicable display is selected, repeat the above steps (S10 ~ S60) to further proceed with the feedback setting (S70) or the feedback setting process. Quit.

*** Adjust color and transparency of TOLED

In addition, the present invention may set the transparency, color or brightness of the TOLED 154 according to the surrounding situation.

Also, in order to solve the problem that the information displayed on the TOLED 154 does not appear clear by displaying the background on the TOLED 154 according to the surrounding situation, the color or brightness of the TOLED 154 is controlled according to the surrounding situation. can do.

In addition, when a camera or a solar cell is disposed on the rear surface (inside, bottom, bottom) of the TOLED 154, a problem affecting the operation of the camera or the solar cell depends on information or transparency displayed on the TOLED 154. In order to solve the problem, transparency of a specific area of the TOLED 154 may be selectively controlled.

** Main / sub window concept of LCD and TOLED

According to the present invention, a display may be operated such that the LCD 151 and the TOLED 154 operate as a main window (or a first window) and a sub window (or a second window).

In order to help understand the display method of the main / sub window concept, an internet browsing method will be described as an example. The main / sub window can be applied to a terminal having a dual display (eg, a folder type, a slide type, a rotation type (swivel or swing type), a watch type, etc.).

60 is an exemplary view illustrating a web browsing method for explaining a main / sub window operating method in a mobile terminal according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 60, a web page (e.g., a main web page) opened for the first time by executing a browser is displayed in a main window (e.g., TOLED 154), and the web page is opened by being linked to the first opened web page. Web pages and pop-up pages can be displayed in sub windows (eg, LCDs).

The web pages displayed in the main window or the sub-window can be displayed by swapping the windows according to a configuration option. When only one of the two displays provided in the terminal is used, the web pages displayed in the main window or the sub-window are provided at the bottom (lower, lower, inner side) of the terminal. The web page displayed on the displayed display (eg, a sub-window) can be displayed by moving it to a display (eg, a main window) provided on the upper side (upper, upper, outer) of the terminal. For example, when the terminal is closed, the web page displayed in the sub window may be moved to the main window for display.

61A and 61B are exemplary views for explaining a web page display method according to a main / sub window operating method in a mobile terminal according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 61A, when a specific text (or a specific object) is selected by the user's touch input (or proximity touch) in the web page # 1 displayed in the main window (eg, the TOLED 154), the controller ( 180 may display a web page (eg, web page # 3) linked to the text in a sub-window (eg, LCD 151).

61B, when a specific text (or a specific object) displayed on the web page # 3 displayed in the sub window is selected, the controller 180 may control a web page (eg, a web page #) linked to the text. 2) can be displayed in the sub window.

The main / sub window can switch the display according to the user's selection, and can also switch the content displayed in each window.

In addition, when the user's input is a proximity touch and a touch is detected on a specific content (eg, text, English word, image, video, flash, etc.) displayed on the main window (eg, TOLED 154), the controller 180 ) May display information on the corresponding content on a sub window (eg, the LCD 151). The sub-window may be returned to its original state when the sensed proximity of the proximity touch increases.

* Display control according to open / close operation of terminal

The opening and closing operation of the mobile terminal is at least two or more, such as a folder type mobile terminal, a flip type mobile terminal, a slide type mobile terminal, a rotation type (swivel, swing type) mobile terminal, and a watch type mobile terminal. By folding, sliding, or rotating a body of terminals having a body, the terminal is opened or closed.

62A and 62B are exemplary views illustrating a method of moving a display object according to an opening and closing operation of a mobile terminal having a dual type transparent display according to the present invention.

When the mobile terminal having the TOLED 154 and the LCD 151 is closed, the information (or object) displayed on each display overlaps, and the overlapped information is displayed on either of the two displays. Hereinafter, a display on which the overlapped information is displayed is referred to as a 'main display'.

In addition, when the terminal is opened, the controller 180 may move and display some objects displayed on the main display (eg, the LCD 151) on the sub display (eg, the TOLED 154).

As described above, an object displayed while moving each display in accordance with opening and closing of the terminal is called a moving object. As shown in (a) of FIG. 62B, the moving object includes an indicator, a clock, and a calendar. In addition, the moving object may include a background memo, a multitasking menu, an input window, and the like.

In addition, as shown in (b) of FIG. 62B, an object such as a virtual input device (eg, a keypad or a wheel) overlaps with the objects of the main display when displayed on the sub display. Since there is a problem, it is preferable to display it on the main display. Since the input window is small in size and difficult to identify at a glance, the input window is displayed large on the sub display. The positions of the virtual input device and the input window may be interchanged and displayed.

63A and 63B are exemplary views illustrating a method of generating a display object according to an opening and closing operation of a mobile terminal having a dual-type transparent display according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 63A, when the mobile terminal is opened, a new object may be created on the sub display (eg, TOLED 154). Such objects are called new objects. The new object may not be displayed when two displays overlap each other due to lack of display space, but may be added to a sub display (eg, TOLED 154) when the terminal is opened and the two displays are separated.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 63B, new information may be detailed information (additional information) of specific information, a submenu (or submenu) for a specific list, or a multimedia player.

** Change the display direction of information on the terminal screen

A mobile terminal having a transparent display according to the present invention may display the information displayed on the display by inverting (or rotating) the display according to the user's point of view according to an opening / closing operation (or a rotating operation of the terminal body).

73 to 76 are diagrams for explaining a method of changing the information display direction of a mobile terminal having a transparent display according to the present invention, each of which has a folder form, a flip form, a rotation (swivel, swing) form, and a bar. It is an exemplary view showing a mobile terminal of the form.

Each type of mobile terminal can rotate or invert information displayed on the display in the same manner according to the attitude of the terminal.

For example, the controller 180 detects when the folder unit 410 or the flip unit 510 starts to open, and the folder unit 410 when the folder unit 410 is opened at a predetermined angle or more with the main body unit 400. You can rotate or invert the information displayed in). The predetermined angle may be set differently according to the terminal manufacturer or the design.

If the mobile terminal includes a tilt sensor (or gyro sensor), the direction of information displayed on at least one of the two displays may be changed according to the posture of the terminal detected by the tilt sensor. For example, when the posture of the terminal, which was in the vertical direction, is changed in the horizontal direction, the terminal may display the information by changing the display direction from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction. In addition, the mobile terminal of the present invention may be provided with a separate software key (or hardware key) that allows the user to arbitrarily change the display direction of the information.

** Automatic execution of specific function according to open / close operation of terminal

When the terminal is opened while the terminal is locked to prevent privacy or other people's access, the controller 180 automatically displays a pop-up window for inputting a password, and when the correct password is input, Release the lock.

You can reset the function.

FIG. 77 is an exemplary view for explaining an operation related to movement of a display object executed in accordance with an opening and closing operation of a mobile terminal having a dual type transparent display according to the present invention. In particular, an image edited by the TOLED 154 is LCD. It relates to a function to be automatically reflected in the image displayed on (151).

As shown in Fig. 77 (a), it is assumed that the terminal in the form of a folder is currently closed and the image editor is being executed in the TOLED 154.

The user refers to an image displayed on the LCD 151 that is visible through the TOLED 154, and through the image editor a specific image (e.g. hat image) associated with the image displayed on the LCD 151 (e.g., snowman image). You can draw (or edit). At this time, the drawing operation does not directly affect the image displayed on the LCD 151 while the user draws (edits) the image.

When the opening of the folder unit 410 is detected during the drawing operation, the controller 180 may apply the pre-drawn image to the image displayed on the LCD 151. For example, a hat image is displayed on the head of the snowman image displayed on the LCD 151. When the folder unit 410 is closed, the application of the image may be released.

As described above, the user may repeat the application and release of the image by opening or closing the folder unit 410 during the drawing operation, and check whether the drawing operation is correctly performed.

In addition to the above-described functions, the mobile terminal according to the present invention may output information related to a plurality of functions executed through a dual display (for example, the TOLED 154 and the LCD 151). For example, it can output navigation and digital multimedia broadcasting, navigation and web browser functions, dual e-book function, display of original photos during photo editing, automatic display of device list for transmission, dual (e.g. TOLED 154 + LCD 151 web page display and the like.

* Display Control Method for Power Saving

In addition, the mobile terminal according to the present invention controls the TOLED 154 according to an external environment such as ambient illumination, ambient color, time zone, and the like.

The mobile terminal 100 adjusts the background transparency of the TOLED 154 according to the ambient illumination sensed by the illumination sensor. For example, the mobile terminal 100 decreases the background transparency of the TOLED 154 when the peripheral illumination increases, and increases the background transparency of the TOLED 154 when the peripheral illumination decreases.

In addition, the mobile terminal 100 detects the ambient color through the color sensor and the image sensor, and adjusts the brightness and the saturation of the corresponding color if the same color as the detected ambient color exists in the information object displayed on the TOLED 154. do.

In addition, the mobile terminal 100 adjusts the background transparency of the TOLED 154 for each time zone. For example, the background transparency of the TOLED 154 is reduced during the daytime when the ambient light is bright, and the background transparency of the TOLED 154 is increased during the night time when the ambient light is dark.
