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 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.

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 present invention relates to a mobile terminal to which a cover can be attached to a body, and the cover is formed so as to cover at least one area of the display portion.

FIG. 2A is a flowchart for explaining a control method of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 2B and 2C are conceptual diagrams for explaining a control method of FIG. 2A.

Referring to FIGS. 2B and 2C, the wireless communication unit receives drive information related to the vehicle 1000 (S1100).

The wireless communication unit may use Bluetooth (BT), WiFi, or the like. The control unit may receive the drive information for the vehicle 1000 and store the received drive information in the memory 170. Here, the driving information includes a driving environment set by a user of the vehicle 1000, a user of the vehicle 1000 (a layout environment of the internal structure of the vehicle 1000, a navigation destination, a frequently heard radio channel, etc.) do.

The control unit controls the distance sensing unit (not shown) to sense the distance to the vehicle 1000 (S1200). The distance sensing unit may sense whether the vehicle 1000 is positioned closer than a predetermined reference distance.

If the distance detected by the sensing unit is less than the predetermined reference distance, the control unit outputs a control screen based on the driving information (S1300). 2B, when the first distance d1 between the mobile terminal 100 and the vehicle 1000 sensed by the sensing unit is greater than the reference distance, And controls the state of the display unit to be maintained. For example, when the display unit 151 is in the inactive state, the controller controls the display unit 151 to be in an inactive state when the first distance d1 is sensed. Or if the execution screen of a specific application is output on the display unit 151, the control unit keeps the execution of the application when the first distance is sensed, and displays the execution screen on the display unit 151 .

When the distance between the mobile terminal 100 and the vehicle 1000 is detected by the sensing unit at a second distance d2, the control unit controls the first control screen 310 of the vehicle 1000, And controls the display unit 151 to output the image data. Wherein the second distance d2 is closer than the reference distance. That is, when the mobile terminal 100 is positioned close to the vehicle 1000, the control unit 180 activates the vehicle 1000 control mode for controlling the vehicle 1000.

The control unit 180 forms a control signal for the vehicle 1000 based on the touch input applied to the control screen (S1400).

Referring to FIG. 2B, the first control screen 310 may include at least one graphic image for receiving a touch input for controlling driving of the vehicle 1000. Referring to FIGS. 2B and 2C, the controller 180 controls the lock of the vehicle 1000 based on the touch input applied to the graphic image for unlocking the vehicle 1000 And controls the wireless communication unit 110 to transmit a control signal to the vehicle 1000 to be canceled. When the lock is released, the controller 180 controls the display unit 151 to convert the graphic image so that the lock of the vehicle 1000 can be reset. The graphic image is not limited to canceling the locked state of the vehicle 1000. [ For example, an icon for turning on the start of the vehicle 1000, an icon for controlling a heating unit, an audio unit, a navigation device, and the like included in the vehicle 1000 may be included.

The first control screen 310 includes not only the graphic image but also driving information of the vehicle 1000 as time data. For example, the time data may include an image representing the shape of the vehicle 1000, a state of charge and a travelable distance of the vehicle 1000, a user of the vehicle 1000, and the like.

The control unit 180 may output driving information of the vehicle 1000 using data stored in the memory 170, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, when the control unit 180 detects that the mobile terminal 100 is closer to the vehicle 1000 than the reference distance, the control unit 180 controls the wireless communication unit 110 to receive the driving state from the vehicle 1000 do. That is, when the mobile terminal 100 is positioned close to the vehicle 1000, the controller 180 may update the new information and provide the new information to the user.

That is, according to the present invention, when the mobile terminal 100 is positioned close to the vehicle 1000, the controller 180 displays a control screen for controlling the vehicle 1000 without a separate control command for the user Output. Accordingly, the user can more easily control the nearby vehicle 1000 without having to execute an application for controlling the vehicle 1000. [

In addition, since the control screen visually displays the driving state of the vehicle 1000 close to the user, the user can more easily grasp the driving state of the vehicle 1000 and form a control command corresponding thereto.

A control method of outputting different control screens according to the distance of the vehicle 1000 will be described with reference to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 2C, the controller 180 controls the first control screen 310 to be displayed on the display unit 151, as shown in FIG. 2B, Associated visual information, and a graphical image that receives a touch input to control the vehicle 1000.

Referring to FIG. 2C, when the control unit 180 detects that the mobile terminal 100 is located at a distance of the first distance d1 from the vehicle 1000, And controls the display unit 151 to output the screen 320. The second control screen 320 may include information related to the driving state. For example, the second control screen 320 may include time information regarding an image of the vehicle 1000, a charged state, and a locked state. However, the second screen information 320 may not include a graphic image for receiving the touch input to change the driving state.

Alternatively, the second control screen 320 may include information on a control signal applied to the vehicle 1000 according to a control signal formed based on a touch input applied to the first control screen 310. [ For example, when the vehicle 1000 is switched to the locked state based on the touch input applied to the first control screen 310, the second control screen 320 displays the locked state of the vehicle 1000 And the like.

Although not shown in the drawing, the control unit 180 may be configured such that the distance between the vehicle 1000 and the mobile terminal 100 is longer than the reference distance while the first screen information 310 is output The controller may control the display unit 151 to switch the first screen information 310 to the second screen information 320.

That is, the control unit 180 may output different screen information when the mobile terminal 100 approaches or leaves the vehicle 1000.

3A to 3F are conceptual diagrams for explaining a control method of outputting a control screen according to various embodiments.

3A is a conceptual diagram for explaining a control method of the mobile terminal 100 equipped with a cover including an opening area according to an embodiment. The cover 200 is formed to open and close the display unit 151 and the opening area 201 of the cover 200 is opened and closed by the display unit 151 in a closed state in which the cover covers the display unit 151. [ As shown in FIG. The display unit 151 can be kept in an inactivated state when the cover is closed.

The control unit 180 activates the display unit 151 when the distance between the mobile terminal 100 and the vehicle 1000 is detected by the sensing unit to correspond to the second distance d2. The control unit 180 controls the display unit 151 to output the first control image 311 through the opening region 201. [

The first control image 311 may include at least one icon that receives a touch input to control the function of the predetermined vehicle 1000. For example, the first control image 311 may be formed to have substantially the same shape as a smart key composed of a plurality of buttons for controlling the vehicle 1000. For example, the first control image 311 may include an image for opening or closing a door of the vehicle 1000, an image for opening a trunk of the vehicle 1000, And an image for receiving a touch input. The icons output through the opening area 201 and included in the image are not limited thereto, and may be changed according to the setting of the user.

The control unit 180 transmits a control signal for controlling the vehicle 1000 based on the touch input applied through the opening region 201. [

That is, in a closed state in which the cover covers the display unit 151, the controller 180 activates the display unit 151 when the mobile terminal 100 is detected to be adjacent to the vehicle 1000 And to output an image corresponding to the opening area. Accordingly, the user can more easily form the control signal.

3A, the controller 180 applies a touch input to the first control image 311 and switches the cover to the open state, The controller may control the display unit 151 to switch from the first control screen 311 to the first control screen 310.

When the first control image 311 is output through the opening region 201, the controller 180 displays the screen information when the touch input is not applied to the first control image 311 and is switched to the open state. And controls the display unit 151 to output the output. Here, the screen information may correspond to a home screen page including a plurality of icons for controlling the mobile terminal 100. That is, when the touch input is received in the first control image 311, the controller 180 outputs a control screen for controlling the vehicle 1000. If the touch input is not received, the control unit 180 controls the mobile terminal 100 And controls the display unit 151 to output screen information for displaying the screen information.

A control method after the control signal is transmitted will be described with reference to Fig. 3B. The control unit 180 transmits a control signal for controlling the vehicle 1000 based on the touch input applied to the first control image 311. [ The controller 180 controls the output of the first control image 311 when a predetermined time passes while the mobile terminal 100 is maintained close to the vehicle 1000, Can be switched to the inactive state.

The control unit 180 controls the display unit 151 to switch the first control image to another image when the distance between the vehicle 1000 and the mobile terminal 100 is increased, Can be controlled.

Referring to FIG. 3C, a control method of outputting the control icon to? The control unit 180 controls the sensing unit to sense the distance between the vehicle 1000 and the mobile terminal 100. [

The control unit 180 may output the control status information 321 of the vehicle 1000 to the notification information display area when the distance between the vehicle 1000 and the mobile terminal 100 is equal to the second distance, And controls the display unit 151. The control unit 180 may be a touch input continuously applied to a status bar indicating a driving state of the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., a dragging method applied downward from the status bar) The display unit 151 may be controlled to output the notification information display area.

In addition, the controller 180 controls the vehicle 1000 to activate the vehicle 1000 when it is determined that the mobile terminal 100 is located at the second distance from the vehicle 1000. The control unit 180 controls the display unit 151 to output a control mode icon 320 indicating activation of the control mode of the vehicle 1000 to the notification information display area.

That is, the controller 180 automatically activates the control mode of the vehicle 1000 of the mobile terminal 100 when it is detected that the second distance corresponds to the control status information 321 of the vehicle 1000, The control mode icon 320 may be output to inform the user of the activation state of the control mode.

The control unit 180 may switch the control mode of the vehicle 1000 to the inactive state based on the touch input applied to the control mode icon 320. [ The display unit 151 may be controlled to output a control screen for receiving the touch input so that the vehicle 1000 can be controlled based on the touch input applied to the control state information 321.

According to the present embodiment, since the mobile terminal 100 activates the control mode of the vehicle 1000 only by sensing the distance, the user can omit the steps such as executing the application for controlling the vehicle 1000, The control mode can be more easily switched to the inactive state.

A control method of outputting a control screen for controlling the vehicle 1000 while the application is running on the mobile terminal 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3D to 3F

FIG. 3D shows a display unit 151 that outputs the first execution screen 301 of the first application. Here, the type of the first application is not limited and may correspond to a web page. When the distance between the mobile terminal 100 and the vehicle 1000 is detected to correspond to the second distance, the control unit 180 transmits the first execution screen 301 to the first control screen 310, The display unit 151 can be controlled to switch to the display unit 151. [

On the other hand, the controller 180 controls the first control screen 310 to the first execution screen 301 based on the touch input applied to the first operation unit 123a of the mobile terminal 100 You can switch. The vehicle 1000 control mode for controlling the vehicle 1000 based on the touch input applied to the first operation unit 123a can also be switched to the inactive state.

Referring to FIG. 3E, the display unit 151 outputs a second execution screen 302 of the second application. For example, the second application may correspond to a game application that is controlled by detecting a user's control command in real time according to the flow of time. When the distance between the mobile terminal 100 and the vehicle 1000 is detected to correspond to the second distance while the second application is running, the controller 180 controls the third control screen 330 And controls the display unit 151 to output the output.

The third control screen 330 is superimposed on the second execution screen 302 and output. The third control screen 330 may include a plurality of icons. While the plurality of icons are being output, the second application is continuously driven and the second application is controlled based on the touch input applied to the second execution screen. In addition, a control signal of the vehicle 1000 is formed based on a touch input applied to the plurality of icons.

However, it is possible to control the display unit 151 to call the second execution screen 302 on the first control screen 310 based on a touch input applied to a predetermined icon among the plurality of icons. In this case, execution of the second application may be suspended.

3F, when the distance between the mobile terminal 100 and the vehicle 1000 during the second execution screen 302 is displayed on the display unit 151 is smaller than the distance between the mobile terminal 100 and the vehicle 1000, If it is determined that the distance corresponds, the display unit 151 is divided. The control unit 180 outputs the first control screen 310 to the second area of the display unit 151 and outputs the first control screen 310 to the second area of the display unit 151. [ .

The control unit 180 may be configured to automatically activate the control mode of the vehicle 1000 when the vehicle 1000 is detected to be approaching the mobile terminal 100 and to output control information accordingly, (151). However, when another application is running, the application thrusts the control information without interrupting the execution, so that the user can control the vehicle 1000 without stopping the use of the mobile terminal 100.

4A and 4B are conceptual diagrams for explaining a method of controlling the vehicle 1000 using distinct knock codes,

Referring to FIG. 4A, the controller 180 may set the knock code in different patterns. 4A, when the controller 180 detects a knock code having a first pattern P1 applied by the user, the controller 180 controls the display unit (not shown) to output the third screen information 303 151). Here, the third screen information 303 may correspond to the home screen page. The control unit 180 cancels the locked state of the first pattern P1 set in the locked state of the mobile terminal 100 and outputs a knock code having a pattern different from the first pattern P1 The locked state can be maintained.

4A, if the controller 180 detects a knock code of the second pattern P2, the controller 180 controls the display unit 310 to output the first control screen 310 151). The first and second patterns P1 and P2 have different shapes.

The control unit 180 controls the display unit 300 to output the first control screen 310 by the second pattern P2 only when the mobile terminal 100 is located close to the vehicle 1000. [ (151). For example, when the mobile terminal 100 is located farther than the reference distance from the vehicle 1000, when the touch input by the second pattern P2 is applied, 1 < / RTI > That is, when the second pattern P2 is applied when the vehicle 1000 and the mobile terminal 100 are distant from the reference distance, the controller 180 controls the controller 180 to change the lock state Respectively.

According to the present embodiment, the user can receive different functions by inputting different knock patterns in the area where the vehicle 1000 is close to each other.

4B, when the first knock of the knock pattern is applied, the controller 180 determines that the vehicle 1000 is positioned close to the vehicle 1000 according to the position of the vehicle 1000 and the mobile terminal 100 The control unit 150 controls the display unit 151 to output the image data. For example, when the vehicle 1000 and the mobile terminal 100 are located at the second distance d2, the control unit 180 outputs the indicator 309 based on the first knock And controls the display unit 151.

The control unit 180 controls the display unit 151 to output the third screen information 303 when a knock code forming the first pattern P1 is applied to the first knock. The control unit 180 controls the display unit 151 to output the first control screen 310 when the knock code forming the second pattern P2 is applied to the first knock. That is, the user senses that the vehicle 1000 is positioned adjacent to the mobile terminal 100 by the initial knocking and the indicator 309, and then displays the screen information for controlling the vehicle 1000 Or not.

That is, the control unit 180 cancels the locked state of the mobile terminal 100 based on the knock code, and controls the display unit 151 to directly output the control screen. Accordingly, the user can apply the control command for controlling the vehicle 1000 without the step of canceling the lock state.

[ When the mobile terminal 100 is located inside the vehicle 1000 or the operating environment is changed based on a user's control command, the controller 180 controls the first control image 311 to be a sixth control And controls the display unit 151 to call the screen 360. Here, the display unit 151 is kept closed by the cover 200, and the sixth control screen 360 is output through the opening area 201. [ The sixth control screen 360 may include a graphic image for applying a necessary control command in a situation where the sixth control screen 360 is mounted on the vehicle 1000 and operates.

In this case, the user can open the door of the vehicle 1000 and start the vehicle without using the mobile terminal 100. That is, even when the control command is not applied to the mobile terminal 100, The control unit 180 may control the display unit 151 by sensing a change in the driving environment or boarding the vehicle 1000.

That is, the controller 180 may control the display unit 151 so that the current user can apply the necessary control command even if there is no control command applied to the display unit 151. [ Also, the controller 180 may provide the user with necessary information through the opening area 201 even when the cover 200 is closed.

A control method based on the traveling speed of the vehicle 1000 will be described with reference to FIG. 6B. Referring to (a) of FIG. 6, the controller 180 controls the display unit 151 to limit the output of announcement information related to a received event when the vehicle 1000 is operating at a high speed. For example, when the call is received, the control unit 180 controls the mobile terminal 100 to limit the output of the notification sound and the notification time information indicating the reception of the call.

The control unit 180 may receive information on whether the traveling speed is faster than a preset reference speed from the vehicle 1000. [

On the other hand, the control unit 180 controls to output information about the event when the running speed is slower than a predetermined reference speed, based on the running speed received from the vehicle 1000. [ That is, the controller 180 may control the display unit 151 to output the time information on the call received in the case of the high speed. Also, the controller 180 controls the display unit 151 to output an icon for applying a control command related to the event when the speed is low.

That is, the mobile terminal 100 can be controlled in different ways in connection with the operation of the vehicle 1000.

A control method of outputting a guide screen based on the operation time of the vehicle 1000 will be described with reference to Fig. The control unit 180 receives or calculates the operation time of the vehicle 1000. The control unit 180 controls the display unit 151 to output the first guide screen 371 when the operation time of the sikh vehicle 1000 is longer than a preset reference time.
