Representative sensors among various sensors that may be included in the sensing unit 140 will be described in more detail.

First, the proximity sensor 141 refers to a sensor that detects the presence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface, or the presence of an object in the vicinity of the detection surface, without mechanical contact by using electromagnetic force or infrared rays. The proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in the inner area of the mobile terminal or in proximity to the touch screen, which is covered by the touch screen.

Examples of the proximity sensor 141 include a transmission type photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection type photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection type photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation type proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor. In the case where the touch screen is electrostatic, the proximity sensor 141 can be configured to detect the proximity of the object with a change of the electric field along the proximity of the object having conductivity. In this case, the touch screen (or touch sensor) itself may be classified as a proximity sensor.

On the other hand, for convenience of explanation, the act of recognizing that the object is located on the touch screen in proximity with no object touching the touch screen is referred to as "proximity touch & The act of actually touching an object on the screen is called a "contact touch. &Quot; The position at which the object is closely touched on the touch screen means a position where the object corresponds to the touch screen vertically when the object is touched. The proximity sensor 141 can detect a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (e.g., a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, have. Meanwhile, the control unit 180 processes data (or information) corresponding to the proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern sensed through the proximity sensor 141 as described above, and further provides visual information corresponding to the processed data It can be output on the touch screen. Furthermore, the control unit 180 can control the mobile terminal 100 such that different operations or data (or information) are processed according to whether the touch to the same point on the touch screen is a proximity touch or a touch touch .

The touch sensor uses a touch (or touch input) applied to the touch screen (or the display unit 151) by using at least one of various touch methods such as a resistance film type, a capacitive type, an infrared type, an ultrasonic type, Detection.

For example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in a pressure applied to a specific portion of the touch screen or a capacitance generated in a specific portion to an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect a position, an area, a pressure at the time of touch, a capacitance at the time of touch, and the like where a touch object touching the touch screen is touched on the touch sensor. Here, the touch object may be a finger, a touch pen, a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like as an object to which a touch is applied to the touch sensor.

Thus, when there is a touch input to the touch sensor, the corresponding signal (s) is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal (s) and transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. Thus, the control unit 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched or the like. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component from the control unit 180, and may be the control unit 180 itself.

On the other hand, the control unit 180 may perform different controls or perform the same control according to the type of the touch object touching the touch screen (or a touch key provided on the touch screen). Whether to perform different controls or to perform the same control according to the type of the touch object may be determined according to the current state of the mobile terminal 100 or an application program being executed.

Touch can be sensed.

The ultrasonic sensor can recognize the position information of the object to be sensed by using ultrasonic waves. Meanwhile, the controller 180 can calculate the position of the wave generating source through the information sensed by the optical sensor and the plurality of ultrasonic sensors. The position of the wave source can be calculated using the fact that the light is much faster than the ultrasonic wave, that is, the time when the light reaches the optical sensor is much faster than the time the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. More specifically, the position of the wave generating source can be calculated using the time difference with the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the reference signal.

The camera 121 includes at least one of a camera sensor (for example, a CCD, a CMOS, etc.), a photo sensor (or an image sensor), and a laser sensor.

The photosensor can be laminated to the display element, which is adapted to scan the movement of the object to be detected proximate to the touch screen. More specifically, the photosensor mounts photo diodes and TRs (Transistors) in a row / column and scans the contents loaded on the photosensor using an electrical signal that varies according to the amount of light applied to the photo diode. That is, the photo sensor performs coordinate calculation of the object to be sensed according to the amount of change of light, and position information of the object to be sensed can be obtained through the calculation.

The main body 301 includes a case that forms an appearance. As shown, the case may include a first case 301a and a second case 301b that provide an internal space for accommodating various electronic components. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one case may be configured to provide the internal space, so that a mobile terminal 300 of a unibody may be realized.

The watch-type mobile terminal 300 is configured to allow wireless communication, and the main body 301 may be provided with an antenna for the wireless communication. On the other hand, the antenna can expand its performance by using a case.

Hereinafter, embodiments related to a control method that can be implemented in a mobile terminal configured as above will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof.

The watch-type terminal 100 according to the present invention can be implemented as a SmartWatch 300 capable of controlling a predetermined vehicle, such as by starting the engine, within an adjacent radius of a predetermined vehicle.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining an embodiment of a watch-type terminal 300 according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, at step S310, at least one vehicle regulation information set for each of a plurality of areas is stored.

Specifically, the vehicle regulation information means a regulation set in relation to the vehicle. As an embodiment, idling, door opening, window opening, trunk open possibility and possible time set for each country can be stored in the database (storage unit) 170.

As another embodiment, the vehicle regulation information may be classified into regulations related to the safety of the vehicle such as not being able to start when the driver is not seated, and regulations related to environmental pollution such as restriction of idling.

Subsequently, a step S320 of receiving a vehicle location area in which a predetermined vehicle among the plurality of areas is located is proceeded.

Specifically, the wireless communication unit 110 can receive the vehicle location area from a GPS device or the like that grasps the location of a predetermined vehicle or a predetermined vehicle.

As another embodiment, the smartwatch 300 can control the vehicle within the adjacent radius of the predetermined vehicle, and can determine the position of the smartwatch 300 as the location area of the predetermined vehicle.

To this end, the position information module 115 is a module for obtaining the position (or the current position) of the SmartWatch 300, and representative examples thereof include a Global Positioning System (GPS) module or a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) module.

For example, using the GPS module, the smartwatch 300 can acquire the position of the smartwatch 300 using a signal transmitted from the GPS satellite.

As another example, the smartwatch 300 may utilize a Wi-Fi module to determine the location of the smartwatch 300 based on information of a wireless access point (AP) that transmits or receives a wireless signal with the Wi- Can be obtained.

The location information module 115 may replace or additionally perform any of the other modules of the wireless communication unit 110 to obtain data regarding the location of the smartwatch 300. [

The location information module 115 is also a module used to obtain the location (or current location) of the smartwatch 300 and is not limited to a module that directly calculates or obtains the location of the smartwatch 300 .

In more detail, the GPS module 115 calculates distance information and accurate time information from three or more satellites, and then applies a trigonometric method to the calculated information to obtain a three-dimensional (3D) map of latitude, longitude, The current position information can be accurately calculated. At present, a method of calculating position and time information using three satellites and correcting an error of the calculated position and time information using another satellite is widely used.

In addition, the GPS module 115 can calculate speed information by continuously calculating the current position in real time. However, it is difficult to accurately measure the position of the mobile terminal by using the GPS module in the shadow area of the satellite signal as in the room. Accordingly, a WPS (WiFi Positioning System) can be utilized to compensate the positioning of the GPS system.

The WiFi positioning system (WPS) includes a WiFi module 300 and a wireless access point 300 that transmits and receives a wireless signal to and from the WiFi module. Is a technology for tracking a location of a wireless local area network (WLAN) using WiFi.

The WiFi location tracking system may include a Wi-Fi location server, a smart watch 300, a wireless AP connected to the smart watch 300, and a database in which certain wireless AP information is stored.

The smartwatch 300 in connection with the wireless AP can transmit the location information request message to the Wi-Fi location server.

The Wi-Fi location server extracts information of the wireless AP connected to the smart watch 300 based on the location information request message (or signal) of the smart watch 300. The information of the wireless AP connected to the smartwatch 300 may be transmitted to the Wi-Fi location server through the smart watch 300 or may be transmitted from the wireless AP to the Wi-Fi location server.

The information of the wireless AP to be extracted based on the location information request message of the SmartWatch 300 includes a MAC address, an SSID (Service Set IDentification), a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) Reference Signal Received Quality), channel information, Privacy, Network Type, Signal Strength, and Noise Strength.

As described above, the Wi-Fi position location server can receive the information of the wireless AP connected to the smart watch 300 and extract the wireless AP information corresponding to the wireless AP to which the mobile terminal is connected from the pre-established database.

In this case, the information of any wireless APs stored in the database includes at least one of MAC address, SSID, channel information, privacy, network type, radius coordinates of the wireless AP, building name, Available), the address of the AP owner, telephone number, and the like. At this time, in order to remove the wireless AP provided using the mobile AP or the illegal MAC address in the positioning process, the Wi-Fi location server may extract only a predetermined number of wireless AP information in order of RSSI.

The Wi-Fi location server may then extract (or analyze) location information of the smartwatch 300 using at least one wireless AP information extracted from the database. (Or analyzes) the location information of the smartwatch 300 by comparing the received information with the received wireless AP information.

As a method for extracting (or analyzing) the position information of the smartwatch 300, a Cell-ID method, a fingerprint method, a triangulation method, and a landmark method can be utilized.

The Cell-ID method is a method of determining the position of the mobile station with the strongest signal strength among neighboring wireless AP information collected by the mobile terminal. Although the implementation is simple, it does not cost extra and it can acquire location information quickly, but there is a disadvantage that positioning accuracy is lowered when the installation density of the wireless AP is low.

The fingerprint method collects signal strength information by selecting a reference position in a service area, and estimates the position based on the signal strength information transmitted from the mobile terminal based on the collected information. In order to use the fingerprint method, it is necessary to previously convert the propagation characteristics into a database.

The triangulation method is a method of calculating the position of the mobile terminal based on the coordinates of at least three wireless APs and the distance between the mobile terminals. (Time of Arrival, ToA), Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) in which a signal is transmitted, and the time difference between the wireless AP and the wireless AP, in order to measure the distance between the mobile terminal and the wireless AP. , An angle at which a signal is transmitted (Angle of Arrival, AoA), or the like.

The landmark method is a method of measuring the position of a mobile terminal using a landmark transmitter that knows the location.

Various algorithms can be utilized as a method for extracting (or analyzing) the location information of the mobile terminal.

The location information of the smartwatch 300 thus extracted is transmitted to the smartwatch 300 through the Wi-Fi location server, so that the smartwatch 300 can acquire the location information.

The smartwatch 300 may be connected to at least one wireless AP to obtain location information. At this time, the number of wireless APs required to acquire the location information of the smartwatch 300 can be variously changed according to the wireless communication environment in which the smartwatch 300 is located.

On the other hand, the vehicle location area can be received by setting a specific range to a country or city where the predetermined vehicle is located.

For example, when the vehicle regulation area related to the control by the remote terminal 300 is different for each country, the vehicle location area is identified for each country, and when the vehicle regulation content related to the control by the remote terminal 300 is different for each city, The location area can be identified by city.

Likewise, in the same country, when the vehicle regulation content related to the control by the remote terminal 300 is different for each state, the vehicle location area can be grasped per week. For example, the wireless communication unit 110 of the smartwatch 300 can receive from the preset vehicle that the current vehicle is in New York State of the United States.

Thereafter, a step S330 of receiving a control command related to the vehicle regulation information is performed.

Specifically, the control command related to the vehicle regulation information means a control command that requires consideration of the vehicle regulation information at the time of execution.

As an embodiment, the user input unit 123 can receive an engine start command related to whether or not the vehicle can be idle and a possible time. Specifically, the user can touch the engine start icon of the smartwatch 300 or push the engine start button to input the engine start command of the vehicle.

In another embodiment, the user can input an engine start command by voice through the microphone 322 of the SmartWatch 300.

Next, a step (S340) of updating the vehicle regulation information so as to reflect the received change when the change of the vehicle regulation information is received from the external server and executing the vehicle control operation corresponding to the vehicle regulation information of the vehicle location area, .

If the controller 180 determines that the idle time of the first area has changed from 3 minutes to 5 minutes, the control unit 180 determines whether the idle time of the first area is changed from 3 minutes to 5 minutes, You can update the idle time for the area from 3 minutes to 5 minutes.

Accordingly, when the engine start command for the predetermined vehicle located in the first area is input to the user input unit 123, the controller 180 controls the engine operation of the predetermined vehicle so that the idleable time is within 5 minutes .

According to this embodiment, the smartwheel 300 according to the present invention transmits and receives data such as a predetermined vehicle, modified vehicle regulation information, control commands for vehicle control operations, and the like.

1A, the SmartWatch 300 according to the present invention includes Bluetooth ™, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Infrared Data Association (IrDA), Ultra Wideband (UWB) , ZigBee, Near Field Communication (NFC), and Wireless USB (Wireless Universal Serial Bus).

The NFC module included in the smart watch 300 supports non-contact type short-range wireless communication at a distance of about 10 cm. The NFC module may operate in either a card mode, a reader mode, or a P2P mode.

When the NFC module is operated in a peer-to-peer (P2P) mode, the smart watch 300 can perform P2P communication with a predetermined vehicle. At this time, LLCP (Logical Link Control Protocol) may be applied to P2P communication.

A connection may be created between the smartwatch 300 and the vehicle for P2P communication. At this time, the generated connection can be divided into a connectionless mode in which one packet is exchanged and terminated, and a connection-oriented mode in which packets are exchanged consecutively.

Through P2P communications, data such as business cards, contact information, digital photos, URLs in electronic form, and setup parameters for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity can be exchanged. However, since the usable distance of NFC communication is short, the P2P mode can be effectively used to exchange small-sized data.
