At this time, as in the embodiment of FIG. 5, the effect sound or the haptic effect may be output to provide the reality to the user when the object reaches the target.

6B shows another example of a game method of moving an object 331 to a destination through a maze 332. [ In this embodiment, unlike the above example, the object 331 responds to the movement of the object according to the left and right movements, not the up and down movements of the terminal. That is, when the terminal is tilted to the left, the object 331 moves to the left, and when the terminal is tilted to the right, the object responds thereto.

At this time, if the object hits the wall of the maze, it outputs a haptic effect to show the reality. There is no doubt that the calculation of the time limit or the target performance time is accompanied by the nature of the game.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the above-described method can be implemented as computer-readable code on a medium on which the program is recorded. A computer readable medium includes any type of recording device in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer-readable medium include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, optical data storage, and the like, and may be implemented in the form of a carrier wave (for example, transmission over the Internet) . In addition, the computer may include a control unit 180 of the terminal.

While the present invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. The present invention is not limited to the drawings. In addition, all or some of the embodiments may be selectively combined so that various modifications may be made to the embodiments described above.

Claims (9)

A sensor for sensing movement of the main body of the mobile communication terminal; A display unit for displaying a first virtual object and a second virtual object in contact with the first virtual object together; And Wherein when the movement of the main body is detected through the sensor, the second virtual object is displayed so as to gradually increase in size as it bounces on the first virtual object, and when the second virtual object contacts the first virtual object, And outputting a haptic effect that the object feels to hit the first virtual object. The method according to claim 1, And the second virtual object is in the form of a request. The method according to claim 1, Wherein the controller controls to output an effect sound according to movement of the second virtual object. delete delete The method according to claim 1, Wherein the control unit controls the color of the second virtual object to change according to movement of the second virtual object. Displaying a first virtual object and a second virtual object in contact with the first virtual object together in a screen; Detecting movement of the main body of the mobile communication terminal; Displaying a second virtual object such that the second virtual object bounces on the first virtual object and gradually increases in size when motion of the main body is detected; And And outputting a haptic effect in which the second virtual object experiences a collision with the first virtual object when the second virtual object is in contact with the first virtual object. delete delete
