Hereinafter, operation modes of the display unit 151 and the touch pad (not shown) that are related to each other will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B.

2A and 2B are front views of a portable terminal for explaining an operation state of the portable terminal according to the present invention.

Various types of time information can be displayed on the display unit 151. [ These pieces of information can be displayed in the form of letters, numbers, symbols, graphics, or icons.

At least one of the letters, numbers, symbols, graphics, or icons may be displayed in a predetermined arrangement for inputting such information, thereby being implemented as a keypad. Such a keypad may be referred to as a so-called " virtual keypad ".

2A illustrates inputting of a touch applied to a virtual keypad through a front surface of a terminal body.

The display unit 151 may operate as an entire area or may be divided into a plurality of areas and operated. In the latter case, the plurality of areas can be configured to operate in association with each other.

For example, an output window 151a and an input window 151b are displayed on the upper and lower portions of the display unit 151, respectively. The output window 151a and the input window 151b are areas allocated for outputting or inputting information, respectively. In the input window 151b, a virtual keypad 151c is displayed in which a number for inputting a telephone number or the like is displayed. When the virtual keypad 151c is touched, numbers and the like corresponding to the touched virtual keypad are displayed on the output window 151a. When the first operation unit 131 is operated, call connection to the telephone number displayed on the output window 151a is attempted.

2B shows a touch input to the virtual keypad through the rear surface of the terminal body. 2A illustrates a case where a terminal body is vertically disposed, and FIG. 2B illustrates a case where a terminal body is disposed horizontally. The display unit 151 may be configured to convert an output screen according to a placement direction of the terminal body.

2B shows that the text input mode is activated in the portable terminal. The display unit 151 displays an output window 151a 'and an input window 151b'. The input window 151b 'may have a plurality of virtual keypads 151c' displayed with at least one of characters, symbols, and numbers. The virtual keypads 151c 'may be arranged in the form of a QWERTY key.

When the virtual keypads 151c 'are touched through the touchpad, characters, numbers, symbols corresponding to the touched virtual keypad are displayed on the output window 151a'. As described above, the touch input through the touch pad (not shown) is advantageous in that the virtual keypad 151c 'can be prevented from being cloaked by the finger when the user touches the touch input through the display unit 151. [ In the case where the display unit 151 and the touch pad are formed transparently, the fingers located on the rear side of the terminal body can be visually confirmed, thereby enabling a more accurate touch input.

The proximity sensor 141 described with reference to Fig. 1 will be described in more detail with reference to Fig.

3 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the proximity depth of the proximity sensor.

As shown in FIG. 3, when a pointer such as a user's finger, a pen, or the like approaches the touch screen, the proximity sensor 141 disposed in or near the touch screen senses the proximity sensor and outputs a proximity signal.

The proximity sensor 141 may be configured to output different proximity signals according to the distance between the proximity-touched pointer and the touch screen (hereinafter referred to as "proximity depth").

In FIG. 3, for example, a cross-section of a touch screen having proximity sensors capable of sensing three proximity depths is illustrated. Of course, proximity sensors that detect less than three or more than four proximity depths are also possible.

Specifically, when the pointer is completely in contact with the touch screen (d ₀ ), it is recognized as a contact touch. If the pointer is located on the touch screen at a distance less than the distance d ₁ , it is recognized as a proximity touch of the first proximity depth. If the pointer is located on the touch screen at a distance of d ₁ or more and less than distance d ₂ , it is recognized as a proximity touch of the second proximity depth. If the pointer is located on the touch screen at a distance of d ₂ or more and less than d ₃ distance, it is recognized as a proximity touch of the third proximity depth. If the pointer is positioned apart from the touch screen by a distance d ₃ or more, it is recognized that the proximity touch is released.

Accordingly, the controller 180 can recognize the proximity touch as various input signals according to the proximity depth and proximity position of the pointer, and perform various operation control according to the various input signals.

4A and 4B are views referred to the description of a proximity touch recognition area where a proximity signal is detected and a haptic area where a tactile effect occurs.

4A shows objects such as icons and menu items in a circular form for convenience of explanation. The area displayed on the display unit 151 by the object may be divided into a first area A in the center and a second area B surrounding the first area A as shown in FIG. The first region A and the second region B can be configured to generate tactile effects having different intensities or patterns. For example, when the second region B is touched, a first vibration is output, and when the first region A is touched, a second vibration larger than the first vibration is output.

In the case where the proximity touch recognition area and the haptic area are simultaneously set in the area where the object is displayed, the haptic area where the tactile effect is generated and the proximity touch area where the proximity signal is detected They can be set differently. That is, the haptic area may be set narrower than the proximity touch recognition area, or the haptic area may be set wider than the proximity touch recognition area. For example, in FIG. 4A, an area including the first area A and the second area B may be a proximity touch recognition area, and the first area A may be set as a haptic area.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the area where the object is displayed is divided into three areas A, B, and C, or N (N> 4) areas as shown in FIG. . Each divided region can be configured to generate a tactile effect with different intensities or patterns. Even when the area in which one object is displayed is divided into three or more areas, the haptic area and the proximity touch recognition area can be set differently according to the use environment.

The size of the proximity touch recognition area may be changed depending on the proximity depth to the display unit 151. [ That is, as shown in FIG. 4B, the corresponding proximity touch recognition area may be gradually reduced to 'C', 'B', or 'A' according to the proximity depth to the display unit 151, Conversely, the corresponding proximity touch recognition area may be gradually increased according to the proximity depth to the display unit 151. [ In this case as well, the haptic area can be set to a constant size regardless of the proximity depth to the display unit 151, such as the 'H' area shown in FIG. 4B (b).

The mobile terminal referred to in the present specification may include at least one of the components shown in FIG. 1 for the implementation of the present invention and may perform a display function while receiving a touch operation (including a touch drag operation) from the outside It is assumed that it includes a touch screen.

As shown in FIG. 5, the mobile terminal 100 displays a map image including a plurality of objects through a touch screen (S510).

Here, an object refers to an object on a map image indicating a specific location (place), a specific building, a specific address (address in the administrative area), and the like.

Furthermore, the map image displayed in the display step S510 may include an image corresponding to each of the plurality of objects. At this time, the image corresponding to the object may be photographed directly by a camera, downloaded from a website via the Internet, received from an external terminal, or provided by setting a map image on a map image provider.

The display step S510 may display the map image generated using the position information (or coordinate information) received from the GPS system when driving the navigation function using the mobile terminal 100. [ At this time, the map image may include the current location of the mobile terminal 100, the destination location, route information, and the like.

In addition, the display step S510 can display a map image captured during driving of the navigation, a map image received from an external terminal, a map image downloaded from a specific web site on the Internet, etc., even when the navigation function is not driven have.

The mobile terminal 100 receives a touch operation for a first object among a plurality of objects included in the map image displayed in the display step S510 (S520).

Furthermore, if images corresponding to a plurality of objects are displayed on the map image, the user can touch the first image corresponding to the first object among the images.

When receiving the touch operation for the first image, the mobile terminal 100 may identify and display the image (s) having the same attribute as the first image among the images corresponding to the plurality of objects. Here, the same attribute as the first image may mean that the first image and the creation date are the same, the first image and the file extension are the same, the first image is related to the corresponding place, and so on .

6A and 6B, when the mobile terminal 100 receives the touch operation for the first image 610, the first image 610 and the fourth image (for example, 640). At this time, as the identification display method, it is possible to use photograph color, photo frame enhancement, vibration effect period, and the like.

The mobile terminal 100 activates and displays the first image on the map image under the control of the controller 180 when the touch operation for the first object (or the first image) is input in the input step S520 (S530, S540).

For example, the activation display of the first image may mean displaying a copy image of the first image with the first image displayed on the map image (see FIG. 7A).

Furthermore, the activation display of the first image may include a first image display with a vibrational effect, a first image display with a particular color effect, a first image display with a specific binocular effect, and so on.

In the display step S540, the mobile terminal 100 may display the activated first image based on the input point of the touch operation input in the input step S520.

Also, in the display step S540, the mobile terminal 100 can display the activated first image attached to the pointer (for example, a user's finger) that has input the touch operation in the input step S520 have.
