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.

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.

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 watch-type terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a second body part 102 disposed on an inner surface of the first body part 101. The second body part 102 is formed to be smaller than the inner circumference of the first body part 101 so as to be disposed on the inner circumferential surface of the first body part 101. [ The second body part 102 is worn on the wrist of the user, and the first body part 102 is disposed on the second body part 102 so as to overlap. The width of the first body part 101 may be larger than the width of the second body part 102, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The first body part 101 may have a multi-joint link structure. The first body part 101 may include a plurality of base parts 101 'connected to a plurality of link structures 101' '. The plurality of base portions 101 'can be moved in accordance with the movement of the wrist and wrist of the user by the link structure 101' '.

The second body part 102 is preferably made of a breathable member. For example, the second body part 102 may include a base member 102 'made of a fiber material. The second body part 102 is made of a material that can be elastically deformed and is formed in a closed circuit shape so that the user wraps the second body part 102 by an external force and the second body part 102 is worn on the user's wrist So as to elastically wrap the area. However, the structure of the second body part 102 is not limited to this, and may include a fixing part which is formed in an open loop shape and fixes both ends.

FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 2A, and FIG. 2C is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of FIG. 2A. 2D is a conceptual view showing an inner surface of the base portion including the magnet portion. The magnetic generating unit according to the present invention includes first and second magnet units 210 and 220S disposed on the first and second base units 101 and 102, respectively.

The first body part 101 includes a first magnet part 210 formed on an inner surface of the base part 101 '. The first magnet part 210 is formed on at least a part of the plurality of base parts 101 '. The first magnet part 210 includes an S pole 210S disposed at the center and an N pole 210N disposed at both ends of the S pole 210S. Referring to FIG. 2D, one first magnet portion 210 is formed in a bar shape extending in the longitudinal direction of one base portion 101 ', and a pair of N A pole 210N is formed. However, it may be composed of one N pole and a pair of S poles disposed therebetween.

When the first magnet part 210 of the first body part 101 and the second magnet part 220S of the second body part 102 are disposed to face each other, a repulsive force of the same polarity is generated. The repulsive force causes the first and second body portions 101 and 102 to be as far away as possible. The second magnet part 220S is not formed in an area on the second body part 102 corresponding to the link structure 101 ''.

Although the first and second magnet portions 210 and 220S are regularly arranged on the entire area of the first and second body portions 101 and 102, the present invention is not limited thereto.

The shape of the fixing groove 201 corresponds to the shape of the second magnet portion 220S and the sectional shape of the fixing groove 201 is formed such that the second magnet portion 220S can be engaged with the fixing groove 201. [ And is formed to be larger than the cross section of the second magnet portion 220S.

The depth of the fixing groove 201 is set by the magnetism of the first and second magnet portions 210 and 220S and the height of the second magnet portion 220S protruding from the outer surface of the base member 102 ' do. The depth of the fixing groove 201 is set such that the S pole 210S of the first magnet part 210 and the second magnet part 220S overlap with each other, So that a part of the second magnet portion 220S can be caught.

[ Can control the watch-type terminal (100).

The first body part 101 may rotate about a rotation axis passing through the center of the second body part 102. The sensor unit 230 may detect a change in magnetism due to the movement of the first magnet unit 210 by the rotation of the first body unit 101.

According to the present embodiment, a control signal can be formed using a first body part that rotates about the second body part. Hereinafter, a method of controlling the watch-type terminal by the relative rotation of the first and second body portions will be described.

6A and 6B are conceptual diagrams for explaining the structure of the first and second body parts for controlling the watch-type terminal by rotation of the first body part.

At this time, when an external force is applied, a repulsive force generated by the S pole (210S) of the first magnet portion (210) and the second magnet portion (220S) facing each other in the second state, A repulsive force against the external force is formed by the attractive force generated by the second magnet portion 220S. However, when the first body part 101 is rotated by the external force to be in the first state, a force in the same direction as the external force acts due to attraction and repulsive force generated between the first and second magnet parts. Therefore, the user feels semi-automatic feeling.

Referring to FIG. 7A, the display unit 151 outputs first screen information 510 including a plurality of selectable items 510a. For example, the plurality of items 510a correspond to executable applications, and the first screen information 510 may correspond to a home screen page. The display unit 151 can highlight a selected item among a plurality of items.

And relatively rotates the first body part 101 relative to the second body part 102 based on an external force applied to the first body part 101. The controller 180 changes the selected item based on the magnetism change sensed by the sensor unit. The display unit 151 displays the first item 510a to the second item 510b. And highlights the third item 510c in the second item 510b.

The control unit 180 controls the display unit 151 to output the indicator 511 when the first body unit 101 reaches the limit state. The limit state may be set to a state in which a change in magneticity is not detected by the sensor unit.

However, the method of setting the threshold is not limited to this, and may be set by the number of magnetic changes sensed by the sensor unit.

Referring to FIG. 7B, the display unit outputs first music information 521 output from the music list. When the rotation of the first body 101 in the first direction is detected by the sensor unit, the controller 180 outputs the next music and controls the display unit to output the second music information 522 .

Meanwhile, when the sensor unit detects the rotation in the second direction opposite to the first direction, the control unit 180 forms a control signal for controlling the music output. For example, when the rotation in the second direction is sensed, the controller 180 pauses or stops the music output.

The controller 180 outputs the indicator 511 when the second screen information 530b is output and the display unit 151 reaches the limit of rotation.

When the controller 511 detects that external force for rotating the first body part 101 is applied in the state that the indicator 511 is being output, the controller displays the initial screen information (the first screen information 530a in this embodiment) The control unit 150 controls the display unit 151 to output the image data. That is, if the external force for rotating the first body part 101 is detected while the indicator 511 is being output, the watch type terminal 100 is controlled to switch to the initial state.
