Description

{METHOD FOR PROVIDING USER INTERFACE ACCORDING TO BEATS TOUCH BASED ON MOBILE TERMINAL}

The present invention relates to a Vitz touch method, and more particularly, to a method capable of displaying and operating a program and a menu in a wearable device.

Recently, as the spread of smart terminals and smart pads has become widespread, development and research of wearable devices that are interlocked with smart terminals and smart pads have been actively carried out, and there are many commercially available products.

At this time, a method of driving a user interface by using a touch is performed by a method of driving a menu by time difference of touch and release of touch. In connection with the method of driving the user interface, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0800450 (published on Mar. 02, 2008) discloses a method of displaying an interface in advance and displaying a submenu in a multi-touch, Is disclosed.

However, when the above-described method is applied to a wearable device which does not have a large screen such that all the menus are displayed on the home screen, entering the menu itself may be a problem. In addition, if an intuitive interface can not be provided, confusion as to what menu and drive should be performed can be given, and the utility of the wearable device and the user's emotional quality index can be lowered.

Korean Patent No. 10-0800450 (published on Mar. 2, 2008) discloses a " menu input method using a touch pad and a terminal thereof ".

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when a user desires to implement various menus and functions in a wearable device, a menu is displayed using input and release of first and second touches and time differences, It is possible to provide an intuitive user interface capable of driving the BITS touch method. It should be understood, however, that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described technical problems, and other technical problems may exist.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a mobile terminal including a first panel and a second panel, the first touch and the second touching the first panel and the second panel with a time difference, Receiving an input to which the first touch or the second touch is to be untouched from the first panel or the second panel while the input first touch and the second touch are held, And performing at least one program mapped to the touch-released touch.

According to any one of the above-mentioned means for solving the problems of the present invention, a wearable device having a relatively narrow screen can be provided with various Menu display and function can be driven.

The first input unit 300 may include a first touch that touches the first panel 210 and the second panel 220 with a time difference in a mobile terminal including the first panel 210 and the second panel 220, The second touch can be input. Here, the first touch and the second touch may be a touch by the first finger and the second finger, respectively. The first input unit 300 receives the first touch of the first panel 210 and then receives the second touch of the second panel 220. The first input unit 300 receives the second touch of the second panel 220 and then receives the first touch of the first panel 210. The first input unit 300 includes a first panel 210 and a second panel 220 that simultaneously touch the first panel 210 and the second panel 220 in the mobile terminal 1 including the first panel 210 and the second panel 220. [ 1 touch and a second touch.

The second input unit 400 receives the first touch or the second touch from the first panel 210 or the second panel 220 while the input first touch and the second touch are held . Here, the second input unit 400 may receive an input from which the first touch is released from the first panel 210. The second input unit 400 may receive an input from the second panel 220 to release the second touch after the first touch receives the untouched input from the first panel 210. Here, after receiving the touch-canceled input of the first touch from the first panel 210, it is possible to sequentially perform receiving the untouched input of the second touch from the second panel 220 with a time difference.

Also, the second input unit 400 may receive an input from which the second touch is released from the second panel 220. The second input unit 400 may receive an input from which the first touch is released from the first panel 210 after the second touch receives the touch-free input from the second panel 220. [ Here, the second input unit 400 receives a touch-released input of the second touch from the second panel 220, and receives a touch-released input of the second touch from the first panel 210 have.

The second input unit 400 may receive an input from the first panel 210 or the second panel 220 such that both the first touch and the second touch are touched off. Also, the second input unit 400 may receive an input in which the input first touch and the second touch are maintained.

The execution unit 500 may execute at least one program mapped to the inputted touch and the touch-released touch. Here, the program is not limited to an independent application, but includes all processes for displaying at least one menu included in one application or for driving at least one function.

The Bits touch method according to an embodiment of the present invention may have an average interval of 7.5 ms for the simultaneous touch, 103 ms for the second touch after the first touch, 110 ms for the first touch after the second touch have. In the case of the touch release, the simultaneous touch release may have an average interval of 11.5ms, the second touch release after the first touch release is 179ms, and the first touch release after the second touch release may be an average interval of 173ms. Accordingly, in the Vitz touch method of the present invention, when data processing is performed, the threshold value can be applied differently according to each method. At this time, the threshold value may be automatically adjusted for each user.

The first touch and the second touch described in Figs. 3 to 8 mean that a second touch is inputted after the first touch is inputted, and the first touch is a touch which is located on the left of two fingers included in one hand Means a touch by a finger, and the second touch means touch by a finger located on the right side.

FIG. 3 is a view showing a tutorial screen for guiding the Bits touch method in the mobile terminal shown in FIG. 1. FIG. Referring to FIG. 3, ↓ indicates touch, and ↑ indicates touch release.
