A service mapped to the relative topological relationship of one or two figures may be performed.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a user interface method performed in an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The method disclosed in FIG. 7 is a method in which the touch device 2 of the electronic device 1 has a screen and the touch device 2 is applied in a black screen state.

Referring to FIG. 7, the touch device 1 having a screen receives at least two figures in a black screen state (S10).

That is, the touch device 1 having a screen receives at least two figures in a black screen state in which a touch input can be received while the screen is turned off.

The execution unit 3 may include a command for turning on a screen of the touch device 2 mapped to the relative topology of the at least two figures, personal authentication or automatic login to the electronic device, and a specific app in the electronic device. Perform a service including at least one of the execution (S12).

For example, in a smartphone, which is an electronic device 1, in a black screen state in which a screen input of the touch device 2 is turned off, the touch device 2 may be inputted in parallel with, or crossing, or overlapping two lines. ), The execution unit 3 turns on the screen of the service that is mapped to the relative phase relationship between the two input lines, that is, the touch device 2, performs personal authentication, and then selects a predetermined app. You can run an Internet browser.

At this time, the execution unit 3, when the input pattern by the at least two figures is input at least two different from the touch position and direction on the touch device 2, the relative between the figures forming each of the at least two input patterns If the phase relationship is the same, a service including at least one of a command to turn on the screen of the touch device 2, an automatic login to the electronic device, and a specific app execution on the electronic device may be performed on the two or more input patterns. .

Furthermore, the execution unit 3 further considers not only the relative phase relationship, but also at least one of an associated property between the at least two figures and a self-property of the at least two figures, the screen of the touch device 2. The service may include at least one of a command to turn on, automatic login to the electronic device, and execution of a specific app on the electronic device.

8 is a flowchart of a user interface method performed in an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The method shown in FIG. 8 may be performed by the electronic device 10 shown in FIG. 4.

The touch device 2 detects whether a touch event has occurred in the touch device 2 by executing an interrupt program or a polling program in the sleep mode or the standby mode (S20 and S21).

In this case, the sleep mode is a black state in which the touch device 2 having a screen can receive a touch input while the screen is turned off or a state in which the touch device 2 having a screen can receive a touch input. It may be a screen state. The standby mode may be a state in which the touch device 2 having a screen can detect a touch input while the screen is turned on.

When the touch event is detected by the touch device 2, the touch up performing unit 11 confirms whether the detected touch event is touch up (S22). In this case, the touch up indicates a state in which the touch coordinate value is not input since the touch is completed on the touch device 2.

When it is determined that the touch event is a touch up, the touch up performing unit 11 stores the information of the figure input to the touch device 2 and the self attribute of the corresponding figure in the figure storage unit 15 during the touch up ( S23). At this time, the information of the figure may indicate the type of the figure input to the touch device 2 when the touch-up. That is, the information of the figure includes whether the figure input to the touch device 2 when the touch-up is a point, a line, a circle, or a polygon such as a triangle or a rectangle. The self-property of the figure may be at least one of touch coordinates, touch time, touch intensity, thickness of a touch line, touch area and touch acceleration, number of bent points, and a degree of bending, but are not limited thereto.

Thereafter, the touch-up performing unit 11 checks in the figure storage unit 15 whether there is at least one previous figure inputted by the touch device 2 before the touch-up (S24).

As a result of the check, if the previous figure is less than one, the touch-up performer 11 increases the storage address of the figure storage unit 15 and proceeds to step S20 (S30).

On the other hand, if there is more than one previous figure, the touch-up performer 11 determines whether a service mapped to the relative phase relationship between the figure inputted at the time of touch-up and the at least one previous figure is stored in the service storage unit 14. Check (S25).

As a result of the check, if there is no service mapped to the relative phase relationship between the figure and the at least one previous figure, the touch-up performer 11 adds at least one additional figure to the input pattern by the figure and the at least one previous figure. It is checked whether there is a list of the figure patterns (S31), and if not, the information and self attributes of all figures stored in the figure storage unit 15 are initialized (S32). If so, the touch-up performer 11 increases the storage address of the figure storage unit 15 (S29).

In operation S25, if a service mapped to the relative phase relationship between the figure and the at least one previous figure is stored in the service storage unit 14, the touch-up performer 11 inputs the figure and the at least one previous figure. It is checked whether there is a figure pattern list in which at least one additional figure is added to the pattern (S26).

As a result of the check, if there is no figure pattern list, the touch-up performer 11 performs a service mapped to the relative phase relationship between the figure and at least one previous figure (S27).

On the other hand, if there is a figure pattern list, the touch-up performer 11 sets the execution of the service mapped to the relative phase relationship between the figure and the at least one previous figure to a standby state (wait wait = TRUE), and counts the interval time. Start (S28).

Thereafter, the touch-up performing unit 11 increases the storage address of the figure storage unit 15 and causes the touch device 2 to operate in the sleep mode or the standby mode, and if the touch event does not occur in the touch device 2, The subsequent touch input time is calculated based on the difference in the interval time counted in time (S40).

The touch-up performer 11 checks whether the calculated next touch input time has passed the set input time and the execution wait is TRUE (S41).

When the calculated subsequent touch input time has passed the set input time and the execution wait is TRUE, the touch-up performer 11 is connected to a service waiting to be performed, that is, a relative phase relationship between the figure and at least one previous figure. Performs the mapped service, and initializes the information and self attributes of all the figures stored in the figure storage unit 15 (S42).

In operation S27 or S42, the touch-up performing unit 11 may include at least two input patterns based on the figure and at least one previous figure when the touch pattern and the input pattern are different from each other in touch position and direction. If the relative phase relationship between the figure forming the input pattern and the at least one previous figure is the same, the service mapped to the relative phase relationship between the figure and the at least one previous figure is identically performed with respect to the at least two input patterns. Can be.

Furthermore, in step S27 or S42, the touch-up performing unit 11 may not only have a relative phase relationship between the figure and the at least one previous figure, but also an association property between the figure and the at least one previous figure, In consideration of at least one of self attributes of at least one previous figure, a service mapped to a relative phase relationship between the figure and at least one previous figure may be performed.

On the other hand, in step S22, if the touch event is not touch-up, the touch duration performing unit 12 checks whether the touch event is touch duration (S33).

If the result of the check is not the touch duration, the touch duration performing unit 12 determines the touch event as touchdown and starts counting the touchdown time (S39), and proceeds to step S20.

On the other hand, if the touch event is the touch duration, the touch duration performing unit 12 calculates the duration by the difference of the touchdown time counted from the current time (S34).

The touch duration performing unit 12 checks whether the calculated duration is greater than the set duration (S35).

The touch duration performing unit 12 proceeds to step S20 when the calculated duration does not pass the set time, and if it passes, the last continuous figure inputted before the touch duration is stored in one or more figure storage units 15. Check whether there is (S36).

If the last continuous figure is not stored in the figure storage unit 15, the touch persistence performing unit 12 proceeds to step S20, and if stored, the at least one last previous figure input to the touch device before the persistence type and the touch persistence. It is checked whether the service mapped to the relative phase relationship therebetween is stored in the service storage unit 14 (S37).

The touch persistence performing unit 12 proceeds to step S20 if the service mapped to the relative phase relationship between the persistence type and the at least one previous persistence figure is not stored in the service storage unit 14, and if it is stored, the persistence type and In operation S38, a service mapped to a relative topological relationship between at least one previous continuous figure is performed.

In this case, the touch sustain performing unit 12 may input at least two or more inputs when the continuous input pattern by the continuous figure and the at least one previous figure is input to the touch device 2 differently in touch position and direction. If the relative phase relationship between the persistent figure forming the pattern and the at least one previous figure is the same, the service mapped to the relative phase relationship between the persistent figure and the at least one previous figure is identically performed for at least two input patterns. can do.

Furthermore, the touch sustain performing unit 12 may not only have a relative phase relationship between the continuous figure and the at least one previous figure, but also an association property between the persistent figure and the at least one previous figure and the at least one last figure. In consideration of at least one of self attributes of one persistence figure, a service mapped to a relative phase relationship between the persistence figure and at least one persistence figure may be performed.
