A flash 123 and a mirror 124 are further disposed adjacent to the camera 121 '. The flash 123 shines light toward the subject when the subject is photographed by the camera 121 '. The mirror allows the user to see his / her face or the like when the user wants to photograph himself (self-photographing) using the camera 121 '.

The sound output unit 252 'may be further disposed on the rear surface of the terminal body. The sound output unit 252 ′ may implement a stereo function together with the sound output unit 252 (see FIG. 2A), and may be used to implement a speakerphone mode during a call.

The terminal body is equipped with a power supply unit 190 for supplying power to the mobile terminal 100. The power supply unit 190 may be embedded in the terminal body or may be directly detachable from the outside of the terminal body.

The rear case 102 may be further equipped with a touch pad 135 for sensing a touch. Like the display unit 151, the touch pad 135 may also be configured to have a light transmission type. In this case, if the display unit 151 is configured to output visual information from both sides, the visual information may be recognized through the touch pad 135. The information output on both surfaces may be controlled by the touch pad 135. Alternatively, a display may be additionally mounted on the touch pad 135, and a touch screen may also be disposed on the rear case 102.

The touch pad 135 operates in association with the display unit 151 of the front case 101. The touch pad 135 may be disposed in parallel to the rear of the display unit 151. The touch pad 135 may have the same or smaller size as the display unit 151.

In addition, in the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, which may include at least one or more of the above components, log information may be collected in response to an event occurring in the mobile terminal. Here, the event may mean a case where a control signal is generated due to a user's manipulation of the mobile terminal, and a function corresponding to the generated control signal is executed. For example, when a user applies an operation to an icon or a hot key (or a hardware key) for executing a photography function, the photographed picture may be collected as log information due to the execution of the photography function. In addition, an event may occur when data is received from an external server or an external terminal. Here, data received from an external server or an external terminal is very diverse, and as an example, when a text message or a multi-media message service (MMS) message is received from an external terminal, an event may be expressed. have. The received text message or MMS message may be collected as log information. As such, the mobile terminal and the control method thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention collect log information related to an event occurring in the mobile terminal, and the user can efficiently use and manage the collected log information on one screen. Suggest ways to do it.

Hereinafter, a method of providing such log information will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C are conceptual views illustrating the control method described with reference to FIG. 3.

First, in the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, a step of collecting log information related to an event generated in the mobile terminal is performed (S310).

Such log information may be collected even while at least one of the applications installed in the mobile terminal is operating. That is, log information may be collected as long as an event occurs without being affected by the operation of the mobile terminal.

Meanwhile, the type of log information collected may be determined based on a user's selection. For example, the user may choose to collect only log information corresponding to an event occurring in a specific application or a specific function. For example, according to a user's selection, log information corresponding to a call incoming / outgoing event may not be collected, and log information corresponding to a photo shooting event may be collected.

Meanwhile, the log information may be collected as long as an event occurs while the log information collected by the mobile terminal is output and utilized by the mobile terminal.

Looking at an example of the type of log information collected, the log information is a call (call), text, MMS, media (photos, music, video, memo, voice memo), schedule, alarm, social network service (SNS), It may be information related to location, weather, contacts, application launch, installation, update or deletion.

The log information may include at least one of an icon (or graphic object) indicating the type of collected log information, content, and counterpart information related to an event corresponding to the collected log information. In addition, in the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in addition to the log information collected by the mobile terminal, tag information input by a user may be added to the collected log information. Therefore, the tag information may be further included in the collected log information.

Here, an icon (or graphic object) indicating the type of collected log information may be displayed as a message-related image when the type of log information is a message, and an image related to a phone when the type of log information is a call log. It can be represented as. In addition, when the type of collected log information is associated with a photo, an icon (or graphic object) indicating the type of collected log information may be represented by a camera image.

In addition, the content is related to the content of the event occurred, for example, when the event occurred associated with the call incoming or outgoing, the content, call time, caller or recipient, call content, call memo It can be the contents. In addition, as another example, when the event occurs taking a picture, the content may be a picture (or image) taken. As another example, when the generated event corresponds to uploading a post to an SNS site, the content may be a post (text, video, image, etc.) uploaded to the SNS site.

In addition, the counterpart information related to the event corresponding to the collected log information may correspond to a picture of the counterpart or identification information (phone number, account information, etc.) of the counterpart terminal. On the other hand, the picture of the other party may be a picture stored in the contact (or phone book) stored in the mobile terminal.

Meanwhile, when an output request for log information is requested, the controller 180 includes at least one of an icon (or graphic object) representing the type of collected log information, content, and counterpart information related to an event corresponding to the collected log information. Can be output together. In addition, when the generated event is an event in which the other party information does not exist, for example, when a preset alarm sounds, the controller 180 has an output request for log information collected in response to the alarm event. In this case, the counterpart information related to the above-described event may not be output.

Such log information may be collected by the log collector 182 whenever an event occurs. In addition, the log collector 182 may be operated under the control of the controller 180. In addition, in the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, the log information may be collected by the controller 180 without having a separate log collector 182. In addition, the collected log information may be stored in the memory 160.

Meanwhile, the collected log information may be provided to the user through one screen. In operation S320, the display unit 151 may display an electronic calendar that is divided into a plurality of areas based on days.

For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 4A, the electronic calendar 400 corresponds to a date (eg, 1 day to 30 days) included in the month (eg, November). It may be divided into a plurality of areas.

The electronic calendar may be output when a specific icon displayed on an idle screen is selected by the user. In addition, although not shown, an icon (or graphic object) for outputting the electronic calendar may be output on a status bar (see (a) of FIG. 4A) in which status information of the mobile terminal is displayed.

The status bar may display at least one of a wireless communication method, a data reception state, a data communication method, an alarm setting, a battery state, GPS use, date and time information, and various types in addition to the above-listed information. Information may be displayed. In addition, the status bar may be output on the display unit 151 even when the standby screen is not output to the display unit 151, for example, when the application is executed and screen information related to the execution of the application is output. have. Therefore, the user can easily access the electronic calendar through the icon displayed on the status bar.

In addition, the electronic calendar may be output when a control command of a preset method is applied to the mobile terminal in addition to the method of selecting the icon.

Here, the idle screen may also be referred to as a home screen page, and when the graphic user interface (GUI) corresponding to a specific function (or a specific application) is not output from the mobile terminal, the display unit Means the GUI displayed basically at 151.

On the other hand, in the state in which the electronic calendar is displayed, in response to the selection of any one of the plurality of areas, a step of outputting graphic objects corresponding to different categories on the display unit 151 is performed. (S330).

For example, as illustrated in (b) of FIG. 4A, when an area 410 corresponding to '13 days' is selected among the plurality of areas, the controller 180 corresponds to SNS, media, phone, and message, respectively. The graphic objects 411, 412, 413, and 414 may be output. Meanwhile, the number of such graphic objects may correspond to the number of types or categories of collected log information. Accordingly, although not shown, the number of graphic objects output to the display unit 151 may vary more than the graphic objects 411, 412, 413, and 414 corresponding to SNS, media, telephone, and messages, respectively. have. In addition, such a category of log information may be divided based on the application.

As such, when any one of a plurality of graphic objects is selected in a state in which a plurality of graphic objects are outputted, the graphic objects associated with the category corresponding to the selected graphic object are collected on a date corresponding to the one region. The log information is output. If any one of the graphic objects is not selected, but one of the plurality of graphic objects is selected, the log information related to the date corresponding to the selected one area, that is, the one corresponding to the one area is selected. In step S340, the log information collected on the date is output.

For example, as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 4B, after any one region 410 is selected and a plurality of graphic objects 411, 412, 413, and 414 are outputted, the region 410 is selected. If any one region 410 is selected again, the controller 180 may have a date corresponding to the one region 410 (eg, November 2012), as shown in FIG. 4B (c). All log information collected on the 13th) can be displayed.

Meanwhile, the collected log information may be output in a list format including a plurality of items respectively corresponding to different log information. The size of the plurality of items may vary depending on the amount of log information.

In this case, the controller 180 may determine whether log information corresponding to which category is collected on a date corresponding to the one area 410 through the plurality of graphic objects 411, 412, 413, and 414.

In addition, as another example, as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 4C, after any one region 410 is selected and a plurality of graphic objects 411, 412, 413, and 414 are outputted, When any one of the plurality of graphic objects is selected, the controller 180 logs associating a category corresponding to the selected one of the objects 413 as illustrated in (c) of FIG. 4D. Information can be output. For example, when any one object 413 is a category related to a telephone, the controller 180 may output log information collected in relation to the telephone on a date corresponding to the one area 410. have.

 Accordingly, the user may selectively receive only log information corresponding to a desired category without receiving all log information collected on a date corresponding to the one area 410.

On the other hand, the controller 180 touches a first type touch (for example, the first method) with respect to any one region 410 of the plurality of regions output to the electronic calendar 400 shown in FIG. 4A (a). When a touch input for a reference time is input, as shown in FIG. 4A (b), a plurality of graphic objects 411, 412, 413, and 414 may be output. In addition, when a touch of a second method (for example, a touch input during a second reference time different from the first reference time) is applied to any one of the regions 410, (c) of FIG. ), Log information collected on a date (eg, November 13, 2012) corresponding to any one area 410 may be output.

As described above, in the mobile terminal and its control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the collected log information may be output based on the date and category in which the log information is collected.

Hereinafter, as described above, when log information is output in response to selection of an area corresponding to a specific date or selection of one of the graphic objects, the method for utilizing the output log information will be described. Let's look more specifically together. 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, 5E, 5F, 5G, and 5H are conceptual views illustrating a method of utilizing log information in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, in response to a control command of a preset method being applied to the output log information while the log information is output to the display unit 151, the mobile terminal is associated with the output log information. Various functions can be executed.

As an example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 5A, if any one item 511 is selected in a state in which items 511, 512, and 513 corresponding to a plurality of log information are output, the controller As illustrated in (b) of FIG. 5A, 180 may execute a function of utilizing log information included in any one item 511. For example, when the log information included in any one item 511 is information related to a call, the controller 180 can send a call using the phone number included in the selected log information. have.

In addition, although not shown, if an item 512 including log information related to SNS is selected, the controller 180 can access the SNS site and output the SNS site on the display unit 151. have.

As another example, as illustrated in (a) of FIG. 5B, when a preset touch input (for example, a drag input or a long press input) is applied to any one item 511, the controller 180 may be applied. ) May execute a function matched with the preset touch input. For example, when a drag input is applied to any one item 511, the controller 180 may delete one of the one item as illustrated in (b) of FIG. 5B. . When the one item 511 is deleted, at least one of the items 514 corresponding to the log information collected on the same date as the date corresponding to the log information included in the one item on the display unit 151 Some may be output.

As another example, as illustrated in (a) of FIG. 5B, the controller 180 may provide a touch input (eg, a drag input or a long press input) of a preset method with respect to any one item 511. When applied, as shown in (c) of FIG. 5B, the one item 511 may be converted into log information 520b different from the log information outputted to the one item 511. For example, the controller 180 collects log information included in any one item 511 on a different date from the collected date, and collects log information included in any one item 511. An item 520b corresponding to the log information collected at a time similar to the above may be output.

In addition, the controller 180 may output different log information according to the direction of the touch input to the one item 511. For example, when a drag touch input (for example, a drag touch input in a left to right direction) corresponding to a first direction is applied to the one item, the controller 180 may apply to the one item. The collected log information may be output on a date preceding the collected log information. In addition, when a drag touch input (for example, a drag touch input from the right to the left direction) corresponding to the second direction different from the first direction is applied to the one item, the controller 180 determines which one of the items. The log information collected on a date later than the collected date may be output.

As described above, even if any one item 511 is switched to another item 520b, the log information included in the one item 511 may not be deleted. Therefore, when the drag touch input is applied to the other item 520b again, any one item 511 may be output again.

As another example, as illustrated in (a) of FIG. 5C, the controller 180 may provide a preset touch input (eg, a short touch input or a long touch input) with respect to any one item 511. When applied, the controller 180, as shown in (b) of FIG. 5C, each of the graphic object 531 corresponding to at least one function that can utilize the log information included in any one item 511 You can output If any one of the graphic objects 531 is selected, the controller 180 can execute a function corresponding to the selected graphic object.

For example, if log information included in any one item 511 is related to a message, the at least one function may be SNS uploading, replying, adding a schedule, memo, and dialing. In addition, if the log information included in any one of the items related to the photo, the at least one function may be SNS uploading, sharing with other mobile terminals, uploading to the cloud server, editing, message transmission, face recognition, etc. have.

On the other hand, if there is one function that can be executed in relation to the log information included in any one item 511, as shown in FIG. 5A, the one function may be immediately executed. When there are a plurality of functions that can be executed in relation to the log information included in any one item 511, as described above, graphic objects corresponding to the plurality of functions may be output.

As another example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 5D, the controller 180 indicates that there is other log information when there is other log information related to log information included in any one item 540. The notifier can output a graphic object. Therefore, the user can recognize that there is log information associated with each other, and can be directly provided with the associated log information through the selection of the graphic object.

For example, when log information corresponding to the log information included in any one item 540, camera, and SNS respectively exist, one area of the one item 540 or one of the items Graphic objects 541, 542, and 543 corresponding to the message, camera, and SNS log information may be output in an area adjacent to the item 540. In addition, when any object 543 of the graphic objects 541, 542, and 543 is selected, the controller 180 corresponds to the one graphic object 543 in one region of the display unit 151. At least part of the log information may be output. Such at least some log information may be output in the form of a pop-up window 543a. In addition, the pop-up window 543a may be output only in a state in which a touch is maintained with respect to any one graphic object 543, and may disappear when the touch ends.

Meanwhile, when the pop-up window 543a is selected while the pop-up window 543a is output, the controller 180 displays the entire log information corresponding to the one graphic object 543 on the display unit 151. Can be printed. The log information corresponding to the one graphic object 543 may be output in the form of a pop-up window, or an item of log information corresponding to the one graphic object 543 may be immediately output.

In addition, as another example, when any one graphic object 543 is selected, as shown in (a) of FIG. Output log information corresponding to one graphic object 543 on the display unit 151 as a whole, or output a list including portions of log information corresponding to any one graphic object 543. Can be.

As another example, when a touch input of a preset method is applied to a predetermined area or a specific graphic object on the display unit 151, the controller 180 collects a log collected on a date different from a date corresponding to the currently output log information. Information can be output. As illustrated in (a) of FIG. 5F, when the graphic object 571 or 572 outputted in the area 570 in which the date (or the date, for example, January 15) is displayed, the controller 180 is selected. As shown in (b) of FIG. 5F, log information collected on a date different from the date (for example, January 15) (for example, January 14) may be output. In addition, although not shown, if a drag touch input is applied to the area 570 on which the date is displayed, the controller 180 may output log information collected on a date different from the date. In addition, the controller 180 may control a date changed according to the degree of drag. That is, the interval with the date may vary according to the drag information.

On the other hand, as shown in (a) of FIG. 5G, the controller 180 can group the collected log information at regular time intervals and output them. Here, the time intervals to be grouped may be based on the user's setting. As such, when the collected log information is grouped at a predetermined time interval, the controller 180 can briefly output at least a part of the log information included in the corresponding group. Therefore, the user can grasp the log information included in the group at a glance.

On the other hand, if the area 560 corresponding to any one of the plurality of groups is selected, the log information item corresponding to any one of the groups as shown in (b) of FIG. Can be output. As shown, at least part of the log information may be output to the output log information item. In addition, although not shown, the display unit 151 may output the log information included in the selected group in detail based on the selection of any one group.

In addition, although not shown, the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention collectively transmits log information included in each group or transmits log information included in each group to an external terminal, or compresses them. Can be used as For example, when a touch input of a preset method is applied to any one of areas corresponding to each of the plurality of groups, the controller 180 may utilize log information included in the one or more areas. A graphic object corresponding to one function (eg, transfer, memo, sharing function, etc.) may be output. In addition, the output graphic object controller 180 may utilize the log information included in the one area to perform a function corresponding to the selected graphic object.

As described above, at least one of the log information grouped at a predetermined time interval may be moved to another group based on the user's selection. For example, as illustrated in (a) of FIG. 5H, in a state where log information corresponding to January 15 is grouped into first, second, and third groups 561, 562, and 563, The log information included in the two groups 562 may be moved to the first group 561 as shown in (b) of FIG. 5H.

As such, when log information included in the second group 562 is moved to the first group 561, the controller 180 considers the time information included in the moved log information, and thus, the first group 561. And time information of the second group 561.

As described above, the mobile terminal and its control method according to an embodiment of the present invention may control and utilize log information in various ways in response to a control command for log information.

Hereinafter, a method of controlling log information on an electronic calendar will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, 6E, and 6F are conceptual views illustrating a method of controlling log information using an electronic electronic calendar in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 180 is a method for providing the collected log information for each day, and any one date in the electronic calendar output on the display unit 151. If is selected, log information corresponding to the selected date may be output.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 6A, the electronic calendar, which is divided into a plurality of areas based on days, may be displayed on the display unit 151. Each of the plurality of areas corresponds to a plurality of areas. The number of log information collected on the date may be displayed. For example, the electronic calendar 600 corresponding to November may display the number of log information collected on each date. Therefore, when 22 log information is collected on November 1, identification information '22' may be output in one region of the region 601 corresponding to November 1. In addition, when eleven log information is collected on November 8, identification information '11' may be output to one region of the region 602 corresponding to November 8.

Therefore, the user can grasp the collection status of the log information only by the electronic calendar output to the display unit 151.

Meanwhile, in the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, in the electronic calendar divided into a plurality of areas based on the days, the log information collected on the days corresponding to the area selected by the user is represented. You can set the title.

For example, as illustrated in (a) of FIG. 6B, when a touch input (for example, short touch, long touch, etc.) of a preset method is applied to any one of the plurality of areas 610. As illustrated in (b) of FIG. 6B, the controller 180 may output a pop-up window 611 for receiving a title for the one area. When a title is input through the pop-up window 611, for example, when a title of 'Jeju Island travel' is input, the controller 180 displays the input title as illustrated in (c) of FIG. 6B. It may be set to a title representing log information collected on a date corresponding to any one of the areas. In addition, such a title may be output on at least a portion of any one area 612 as shown in (c) of FIG. 6B.

In addition, although not shown, the controller 180 may store log information corresponding to a specific date separately from other log information based on a user's selection. In this case, the controller 180 may generate an application using log information corresponding to the specific date. When the generated application is executed, the controller 180 can output log information corresponding to the specific date. In this case, the controller 180 may utilize the set title as at least a part of the title of the application. The generated application may be an application corresponding to an e-book function.

The controller 180 collects log information collected on a date corresponding to any one region through a touch input to one region among a plurality of regions included in the electronic calendar output to the display unit 151. Can be printed. In addition, the controller 180 may output the log information collected on a plurality of dates together. For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 6C, when dragged from one of the regions 621 to at least one other region 622 of FIG. As such, the at least two regions 621 and 622 may be selected. Accordingly, the controller 180 is based on the touch input to the at least two areas 621 and 622 or the touch input to the graphic object 623 corresponding to different categories, as shown in FIG. 6C (c). As such, log information collected on at least two dates corresponding to the at least two regions 621 and 622 may be output together. On the other hand, although not shown, if the region to be selected is not continuous, a plurality of regions may be selected through a touch input of another method or a separate icon for selecting a plurality of regions other than the drag touch input.

Meanwhile, as shown in (a) of FIG. 6D, when the touch input started in the area 631 corresponding to any one day in the electronic calendar is continuously moved for a predetermined length or more, FIG. 6D. As shown in (b) and (c), log information collected on a date corresponding to the area 631 may be deleted.

In addition, when a touch input having a predetermined length or more is applied in the region 631, the controller 180 may move the region 631 along the path of the touch input to give a visual effect to the user.

In addition, the controller 180 can directly access the log information collected on a specific date on an idle screen, so that an icon or widget can access the log information collected on the specific date. You can output

Such an icon or widget may be output on the standby screen through a control command applied on the idle screen. In addition to the above method, as shown in FIG. 6E (a), a touch input of a preset method (for example, a long touch input) for the region 641 corresponding to a specific date while the electronic calendar is output. ) Is applied, as shown in (b) of FIG. 6E, an icon 651 or a widget for outputting log information corresponding to the specific date may be output on the standby screen 650.

Meanwhile, when the touch input of the preset method is applied to the area 641 on the electronic calendar, the screen information output on the display unit 151 may be directly converted to the standby screen 650 in the electronic calendar. . In this case, when the screen is switched to the standby screen 650 while the touch input to the area 641 is maintained, the controller 180 can output an icon 651 to the point where the touch input is applied. . After the icon 651 is moved by a touch input continuous to the touch input, when the touch on the icon 651 is released, the icon 651 may be located at a point where the touch is released. have.

Meanwhile, in order to protect the privacy of a user, the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may output an input window for receiving a password when a control command for access to log information is authorized. For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 6F, when a control command for outputting log information collected on a date corresponding to any one area 641 is applied, the controller 180 may control the controller 180 of FIG. 6F. As shown in (b) of, the password can be input using the input window 660.

In addition, the controller 180 outputs an input window 660 for inputting a password and then, in addition to a method for inputting a password, when a touch input corresponding to a preset pattern is applied to any one area 641. In addition, log information corresponding to any one of the areas 641 may be output.

Meanwhile, the controller 180 may request input of a password or a predetermined pattern when accessing all the collected log information. In addition, the controller 180 may request input of a password or a preset pattern only when there is a request for access to log information corresponding to a date selected by the user among the collected log information. Meanwhile, the controller 180 may output log information when a preset pattern is applied or a preset password is input.

In the above, the method of controlling the log information through a touch input applied to at least one of the plurality of areas included in the electronic calendar has been described. Hereinafter, a method of controlling log information by using a touch input to graphic objects corresponding to different categories that are output in response to selection of any one of a plurality of areas will be described in more detail with the accompanying drawings. Take a look. 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D, 7E, and 7F are conceptual views illustrating a method of controlling log information using a graphic object in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the number of log information corresponding to the category may be displayed in at least one area of each of the graphic objects 711, 712, 713, and 714 corresponding to different categories. . For example, when one log information related to SNS is collected, identification information '1' may be output to one region of the SNS related graphic object 711. In addition, although not shown, the graphic object corresponding to the category in which the collected log information does not exist may be visually displayed as inactive.

Based on the date, log information corresponding to a predetermined period may be searched. For example, the controller 180 may search for 'character received from Hyun-woo' during the period of 'January 1' to 'January 10'.

Also, in this case, the controller 180 may change a period during which log information is searched in response to a drag input of a predetermined region on the display unit. For example, as illustrated in (a) of FIG. 9C, when the period information display area 941 is a preset area, the controller 180 corresponds to a drag input to the period information display area 941. For example, as shown in FIG. 9C (b), the existing search periods of 'January 1' to 'January 10' may be changed to 'December 25' to 'January 1'. Also, the controller 180 may set different ranges in which the period is changed according to the degree of dragging to the period display area. For example, when a drag input having a first length is applied, a search period of '5 days' interval may be set based on the reference date. When a drag input having a second length longer than the first length is applied, a search period of '7 days' interval may be set.

Although not shown, at least one of information about a search result and guide information indicating that the search period can be changed through the period display areas 941 and 942 is included in the period display areas 941 and 942.
