Therefore, when the user pushes the first body 100 with the thumb on the inclined surface 110 while the user grasps the slider 300, slippage does not occur between the finger and the first body 100. And the slider 300 can be easily moved.

As described above, the slider 300 which is movable along the longitudinal direction of the terminal exposes or covers the card mounting slot 210 to the outside. Therefore, the card mounting slot 210 is not exposed to the outside when the slider 300 is in the initial position shown in Figs. 2 and 3, and thus the terminal according to the present invention provides a beautiful appearance.

The slider 300 is configured to enclose a portion of the outer surface and the side opposite to the inner surface of the second body 200, for example. For example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 8, the second body 200 is surrounded by the slider 300 at the side and the outer surface except for an end adjacent to the hinge 1. Here, when the card mounting slot 210 is provided on the side of the second body 200 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the side of the slider 300 is the card mounting slot 210. It will be exposed or covered to protect it.

A battery cover 310 may be provided on an outer surface of the slider 300 forming the rear surface of the housing, for example, as shown in FIG. 3. The battery cover 310 may be separated from the slider 300 when the slider 300 moves as shown in FIG. 8, and the second body 200 when the slider 300 is separated from the slider 300. A battery (not shown) mounted on the outside of the container is exposed to the outside. Accordingly, the user moves the slider 300 to the position of FIG. 8, moves the battery cover 310 toward the hinge 1 to separate the slider 300 from the slider 300, and then removes the battery (not shown). Can be replaced.

When the speaker 43 is formed in the second body 200, the speaker 43 may be formed at a position that can always be exposed to the outside regardless of the movement of the slider 300, but the slider ( According to the movement of the 300 may be formed in a position that can be exposed or exposed by the slider 300 or the battery cover 310. In the latter case, a plurality of holes 315 may be formed in the slider 300 or the battery cover 310 so that sound can be transmitted well even when the speaker 43 is closed.

As shown in FIG. 3, the slider 300 has a terminal 3 for connecting an earphone or an ear microphone. The terminal 3 is provided at, for example, the side of the slider 300 and may be opened or closed by a cover. In the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention, the terminal 3 may not only be connected to an earphone or ear microphone, but also may receive power from a communication cable or an external power source or charge the battery for data communication with an external device. The power cable or the like may also be configured to be connected.

Furthermore, although not shown, the microphone 23 shown in FIG. 1 may be embedded at an end of the slider 300, and the microphone 23 may be mounted on the surface of the slider 300 corresponding to a location where the microphone 23 is embedded. A microphone hole (not shown) may be formed. The microphone 23 and the microphone hole may be formed in the second body 200 instead of the slider 300.

Meanwhile, when the slider 300 is in the initial position as shown in FIG. 3, the slider 300 covers and hides the lens 51 of the camera 50 and as shown in FIG. 8. When moved along the longitudinal direction, the lens 51 of the camera 50 is exposed to the outside. Therefore, the user may move the slider 300 to the position of FIG. 8 to expose the lens 51 and then photograph. When the camera 50 is not used, the slider 300 is shown in FIG. 3. As described above, the lens 51 of the camera 50 may be protected.

The inner side end of the slider 300 constitutes a plane substantially the same as the inner side of the second body 200 as shown in FIG. 5 when the slider 300 is in the initial position. As shown in FIG. 2, the inner end of the slider 300 is disposed to face the first body 100 when the housing is closed and is not exposed to the outside, but when the slider 300 is moved. As shown in FIG. 7, the housing is exposed to the outside even when the housing is closed.

At the inner end of the slider 300, the key 320 is provided as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7. Thus, when the slider 300 is in the initial position, the key 320 is not exposed to the outside when the housing is closed as shown in FIG. 2, but when the slider 300 is moved, the housing is closed. Even in the closed state, it is exposed to the outside as shown in FIG. 7. In this case, the key 320 is exposed to face the same direction as the external display 27 disposed on the outer surface of the first body 100.

The key 320 is configured to select and use various additional functions of the mobile communication terminal. For example, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the key 320 includes a direction key function for moving a cursor and a selection key function for selecting a corresponding function where the cursor is located. ), A fourth key 325 for executing the menu mode, and a fifth key 323 for canceling execution or moving to a higher menu. Here, the third key 321 may be moved in the front and rear directions to determine the direction and may be pressed to select the corresponding function.

With the slider 300 open, when the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention is disposed in parallel sideways, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, an external display 27 and the key 320 are exposed on one side. On the opposite side thereof, the lens 51 of the camera 50 is exposed. Accordingly, the user can grab both corners of the mobile communication terminal arranged in parallel and look at the external display 27 to manipulate the key 320 with the thumb of his right hand. In this case, since the external display 27 is disposed long along the length direction of the terminal, the user can conveniently take a picture while viewing a screen formed wide in the left and right directions as shown in FIG. 9.

When the shutter button 52 for photographing is further provided in the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention, the shutter button 52 is operated by the user in a state where the mobile communication terminal is arranged horizontally as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. It is preferable to be provided adjacent to the side edge of the terminal to hold both edges of the terminal and to conveniently photograph. More specifically, the shutter button 52 is disposed so as to be located on the upper surface of the corner of the left or right end of the terminal when the terminal is disposed in the horizontal direction, preferably disposed on the side edge of the slider (300).

With the above structure, when the user grasps both edges of the terminal using a finger in a state in which the terminal is arranged in parallel as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the user's finger, in particular, the index finger is immediately It can be put on the shutter button 52. Therefore, the user can take a picture by pressing the shutter button 52 with a finger while looking at the external display 27. The arrangement of the camera 50, the external display 27, the key 320, and the shutter button 52 becomes the same as that of a general digital camera when the terminals are arranged in parallel for shooting. Therefore, the user can easily and conveniently photograph by using the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

12 to 14 are flowcharts illustrating a method of controlling a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention having the above structure. Hereinafter, with reference to these drawings will be described in more detail how the mobile communication terminal is controlled to provide a useful and unique service to the user.

As shown in FIG. 2, the standby mode is performed when the first body 100 and the second body 200 are closed and the slider 300 is not rotated. In the standby mode, the controller 10 checks whether the first body 100 and the second body 200 are opened (S 103) or checks whether the slider 300 is moved. . Here, the controller 10 executes the first mode when the first body 100 and the second body 200 are opened and the slider 300 is connected to the second body 200. Moving from to executes a second mode different from the first mode.

In the first mode performed when the first body 100 and the second body 200 are opened, the internal display 29 outputs an initial screen, for example. In an initial mode in which the initial screen is output, a user may select functions provided by a mobile communication terminal by using the keys 21 and 320 (S 113), and then the controller 10 may determine a corresponding function. Run the function. In more detail, in the initial mode provided as the first mode, the user may make or receive a call, send or receive a text, and access the Internet. In addition, the user may enjoy a game, a video, a music, or the like in the first mode. Furthermore, the user can substantially use most of the functions provided by the terminal in the first mode.

In the second mode executed when the slider 300 is moved, the lens 51 and the key 320 of the camera 50 are exposed to the outside. When the second mode is executed, the control unit 10 may be programmed to advance the second mode to any one of (a) and (b) types as shown in FIG. 12. Of course, whether the control unit 10 proceeds to the second mode in one of (A) and (B) types may be determined at the time of product production or may be selected by the user in a mode for setting the environment of the terminal.

When (a) type is performed as the second mode, the controller 10 moves the slider 300 and the external display 27 displays a screen on which the user can select additional functions provided to the terminal. (S 123)

In the second mode, the function selection menu output through the external display 27 may be limited to a certain number such as a camera mode, a multimedia file playback mode, and the like. This may, of course, also include a game mode, and by additionally storing a menu frequently used when the user moves the slider 300, the menu may be output through the external display 27 when the second mode is executed. There will be.

The user may select any one of various functions of a menu output on the external display 27 by using the key 320 or the shutter button 52 exposed when the slider 300 moves. (S 124) When any one function is performed, the controller 10 performs a corresponding function to provide an appropriate service to the user. (S 128)

For example, when the user selects a camera mode, the controller 10 outputs a screen of the camera mode. Then, the user can use the functions provided in the camera mode such as setting the environment of the camera, viewing an album, or taking a picture by using the key 320. Of course, when shooting, as described above with reference to Figure 11 it is good to arrange the terminal horizontally before shooting. In this case, since the terminal provides the same appearance and layout as a conventional digital camera, the user can shoot by using the key 320 and the shutter button 52 selectively or simultaneously while looking at the external display 27. It is convenient.

The user may check an image captured by the external display 27 immediately after photographing, or may control the key 320 to view previously photographed pictures. In addition, all functions used in the shooting mode may be controlled through the key 320 and the shutter button 52. Therefore, the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention can provide the same convenience and service as a conventional digital camera.

As another example, when the user selects the multimedia file playing mode, the user may control the media file player 40 by manipulating the key 320 to enjoy music desired by the speaker 43. Of course, the user may control the media file player 40 by manipulating the key 320 to enjoy his / her desired video or learning content through the external display 27 and the speaker 43.

On the other hand, when the (B) type proceeds as the second mode, the controller 10 directly executes any one of the additional functions provided to the terminal with the movement of the slider 300. For example, the controller 10 executes the camera mode simultaneously with the movement of the slider 300 and directly outputs the screen to the external display 27 instead of providing a screen for selecting various function modes. . (S 126)

In this case, the controller 10 may output a screen for selecting various functions in the camera mode, or may immediately output a screen for taking a picture using the shutter button 52 or the key 320. will be. In the latter case, as the slider 300 moves, the controller 10 activates the camera 50, and the external display 27 controls the lens 51 of the camera 50. It is preferable that the incoming image is set to output in real time. Which of the above two options the controller 10 executes may be set in advance at the time of manufacture or arbitrarily set by the user's environment setting. Meanwhile, when a function is selected or a command is issued by the key 320 or the shutter button 52 (S 127), the controller 10 performs the corresponding function. (S 128)

Meanwhile, FIG. 13 illustrates a method in which the controller 10 controls the terminal when a received signal such as a phone call or a message is received by the terminal, which will be briefly described below.

First, when a signal is received (S 201), the controller 10 determines whether the first body 100 and the second body 200 are opened (S 203) or the slider 300 moves (S 205). Check it. If the first body 100 and the second body 200 are not opened and the slider 300 does not move, the received signal is continuously received for a predetermined time, and the terminal generates or receives a reception sound indicating this. Light or vibrate the light.

When any one of the first body 100 and the second body 200 is opened, the controller 10 makes a call connection or outputs a received message to at least one of the displays 27 and 29. Therefore, the controller 10 allows the user to move the slider 300 without opening the first body 100 and the second body 200 so as to make a received call or check a message. This allows the user to use the terminal very conveniently.

Meanwhile, as described above, the user may move the slider 300 or expand the first body 100 and the second body 200 to bring up a menu and play the media file player 40. You can enjoy music and video. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a key provided on an outer surface of the first body 100 without the user moving the slider 300 or extending the first body 100 and the second body 200. Press (45) to play the media file.

As shown in FIG. 14, when the slider 300 is moved (S 303) while the media file is being played (S 301), the key 320 is the first body 100 and the second body 200. ) Is exposed to the outside even when folded. (S 305) Then, the controller 10 activates the key 320 to control the media file player 40, so that a user inputs a command using the key 320 to input the media. The file player 40 can be controlled. When a command is input through the key 320 (S 307), the controller 10 performs a corresponding function to provide an appropriate service to the user.

As described above, a user may use the terminal by moving the slider 300 or opening the first body 100 and the second body 200 as necessary. In addition, a user moves the slider 300 while the first body 100 and the second body 200 are open, or the first body 100 while the slider 300 is moved. The second body 200 may be opened and the terminal may be used even as shown in FIG. 6.

In this case, the controller 10 is programmed to provide the best service to the user through a control method that combines various control methods described above.
