G-sensor, gyroscope sensor, motion sensor, RGB sensor, infrared sensor (IR sensor), fingerprint sensor (finger scan sensor), ultrasonic sensor (ultrasonic sensor) , Optical sensor (for example, camera (see 121)), microphone (microphone, see 122), battery gauge, environmental sensor (for example, barometer, hygrometer, thermometer, radiation detection sensor, It may include at least one of a heat sensor, a gas sensor, etc.), and a chemical sensor (eg, an electronic nose, a healthcare sensor, a biometric sensor, etc.). Meanwhile, the mobile terminal disclosed in the present specification may combine and utilize information sensed by at least two or more of these sensors.

The sensing unit 140 senses at least one of information in the mobile terminal, surrounding environment information surrounding the mobile terminal, and user information, and generates a sensing signal corresponding thereto. The controller 180 may control the driving or operation of the mobile terminal 100 or perform data processing, functions or operations related to an application program installed in the mobile terminal 100 based on such a sensing signal. 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 or absence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface or an object existing in the vicinity using the force of an electromagnetic field or infrared rays without mechanical contact. In the proximity sensor 141, the proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in an inner area of the mobile terminal surrounded by the touch screen as described above or near 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 type proximity sensor, a magnetic type proximity sensor, an infrared proximity sensor, and the like. When the touch screen is a capacitive type, the proximity sensor 141 may be configured to detect the proximity of the object by a change in the electric field according to the proximity of the conductive object. 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 action of allowing an object to be recognized as being positioned on the touch screen by being approached without contacting an object on the touch screen is called "proximity touch", and the touch The act of actually touching an object on the screen is referred to as "contact touch". A position at which an object is touched in proximity on the touch screen means a position at which the object is vertically corresponding to the touch screen when the object is touched in proximity. The proximity sensor 141 may detect a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (for example, a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, a proximity touch movement state, etc.). have. Meanwhile, as above, the controller 180 processes data (or information) corresponding to the proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern sensed through the proximity sensor 141, and further, provides visual information corresponding to the processed data. It can be output on the touch screen. Further, the controller 180 may control the mobile terminal 100 to process different operations or data (or information) according to whether a touch to the same point on the touch screen is a proximity touch or a touch touch. .

The touch sensor applies a touch (or touch input) to the touch screen (or display unit 151) using at least one of various touch methods such as a resistive film method, a capacitive method, an infrared method, an ultrasonic method, and a magnetic field method. To detect.

As an example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert a pressure applied to a specific portion of the touch screen or a change in capacitance generated at a specific portion into an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect a location, an area, a pressure upon touch, a capacitance upon touch, and the like at which a touch object applying a touch on the touch screen is touched on the touch sensor. Here, the touch object is an object that applies a touch to the touch sensor, and may be, for example, a finger, a touch pen, a stylus pen, or a pointer.

In this way, when there is a touch input to the touch sensor, the signal(s) corresponding thereto is transmitted to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal(s) and then transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. As a result, the controller 180 can know whether an area of the display unit 151 is touched. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component from the controller 180 or may be the controller 180 itself.

Meanwhile, the controller 180 may perform different controls or perform the same control according to the type of the touch object by touching the touch screen (or a touch key provided in addition to 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 an operating state of the mobile terminal 100 or an application program being executed.

The display unit 151 may implement a touch screen by forming a layer structure or integrally with the touch sensor. Such a touch screen may function as a user input unit 123 that provides an input interface between the mobile terminal 100 and a user, and may provide an output interface between the mobile terminal 100 and a user.

The display unit 151 displays (outputs) information processed by the mobile terminal 100. For example, the display unit 151 may display execution screen information of an application program driven in the mobile terminal 100, or UI (User Interface) and GUI (Graphic User Interface) information according to such execution screen information. .

The interface unit 160 serves as a passage between various types of external devices connected to the mobile terminal 100. The interface unit 160 connects a wired/wireless headset port, an external charger port, a wired/wireless data port, a memory card port, and a device equipped with an identification module. It may include at least one of a port, an audio input/output (I/O) port, an input/output (video I/O) port, and an earphone port. The mobile terminal 100 may perform appropriate control related to the connected external device in response to the external device being connected to the interface unit 160.

In addition, the memory 170 stores data supporting various functions of the mobile terminal 100. The memory 170 may store a plurality of application programs (application programs or applications) driven by the mobile terminal 100, data for operation of the mobile terminal 100, and instructions. At least some of these application programs may be downloaded from an external server through wireless communication. In addition, at least some of these application programs may exist on the mobile terminal 100 from the time of delivery for basic functions of the mobile terminal 100 (eg, incoming calls, outgoing functions, message reception, and outgoing functions). Meanwhile, the application program may be stored in the memory 170, installed on the mobile terminal 100, and driven by the controller 180 to perform an operation (or function) of the mobile terminal.

Referring to FIG. 2, a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a display unit 151, a sensing unit 140, and a control unit 180.

Here, since the general functions that the display unit 151, the sensing unit 140, and the controller 180 can execute in the mobile terminal have been described in detail with reference to FIG. 1, redundant descriptions are omitted.

In the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the sensing unit 140 senses an extended input on the display unit 151, the controller 180 executes an application or command specified by the user or A designated application list or command list may be displayed on the display unit 151, and the selected application or command may be executed.

This point will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a process of designating an extended input by a user according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, in step S310, the user may designate an extended input that can be input to the mobile terminal. The extended input according to an embodiment of the present invention is, for example, a first extended input that is a long touch for a specified time after a drag touch, or a second extended input that is an additional input of a designated key after a drag touch, or a path specified by the user. It may be a third extended input that is a drag touch.

In the present specification, the first to third extended inputs are described as an example, but this is only an embodiment, and the extended input according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the first to third extended inputs described above. That is, in light of the technical idea of the present invention, those skilled in the art that the extended input according to the embodiment of the present invention may be variously generated according to the user's preference or may be designated by modifying an existing method according to the environment to which the present invention is applied. It will be self-evident.

Subsequently, in step S320, the mobile terminal 100 may receive an application or command to be executed when a designated extended input is input from the user. Although not described in detail in step S320, when only one application or command is input in step S320, the mobile terminal 100 of the present invention can interpret the specified application or the command to be executed immediately when the specified extended input is input. Conversely, when a plurality of applications or commands are input from a user in step S320, it may be interpreted as outputting a list of a plurality of designated applications or commands when a designated extended input is input.

Up to now, with reference to FIG. 3, a process in which a user inputs an extended input and a corresponding application or command in the mobile terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described.

4 is a flow chart illustrating a control process of a mobile terminal when an extended input is input according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 5 to 10 are exemplary views for explaining each step of FIG. 4.

Referring to FIG. 4, the method of controlling a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention may include sensing the extended input when the user inputs a known extended input to the mobile terminal in step S410. .

For example, it is assumed that the user designates the type of the extended input as the first extended input, for example, after a drag touch from the right of the touch screen to the left of the display unit 151 and then a long touch in the center of the touch screen. Let's assume.

In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 5, in a situation where the first screen 501 is displayed on the display unit, when the user drags the touch screen from the right side of the display unit 151 to the left, as illustrated in FIG. A second screen 502 that can be dragged together may be displayed on the first screen 501 according to a user's drag touch. In addition, when the user makes a long touch that stops for a specified time in the center area of the predetermined touch screen, the mobile terminal 100 may sense the input of the first extended input.

Referring back to FIG. 4, the mobile terminal executes an application or command designated by the user according to the first extended input in step S420, or displays a designated application list or command list to the user through the display unit 151, and Alternatively, it may include executing the command.

For example, while a user is reading CNN news in English, it is possible to execute a preset application through the first extended input.

For example, when a user prefers to listen to music, while executing a predetermined application (ie, the first screen is an execution screen of a predetermined application), the music listening application may be directly executed through the first extended input.

That is, in the existing mobile terminal, commands that can be input by a user are limited, and thus there is an inconvenience of having to go through several processes in order to execute an application or command that the user prefers. However, according to an embodiment of the present invention, by designating an application or command that the user prefers in response to the first extended input, the user can immediately execute the application or command.

Referring to FIG. 7, according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is illustrated that a plurality of commands designated by a user in response to a first extended input are displayed on the display unit 151.

Here, the mobile terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention displays a plurality of command lists 701 specified by the user near the long touch position of the first extended input, and allows the user to select and touch a predetermined command. By reducing the distance to be moved, it is possible to provide more convenience to the user.

7 illustrates that three command lists 701 specified by the user are displayed, but the number of them may be variously changed according to the user's designation, and that an application list may also be included. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art in the light of.

In addition, although not shown in detail in FIG. 7, by providing a UI (user interface) for setting a specific location where the mobile terminal 100 displays a command list in a location preferred by the user, It will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the technical idea of the present invention that the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment may be able to meet the delicate taste of the user.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), when the mobile terminal 100 senses the first extended input, the first screen 501 previously displayed on the display unit 151 )Up, the second screen 703 with different transparency is dragged over the first screen 501 where the first extended input has begun to be input by displaying different transparency of the dragged second screen 703 according to the drag touch The extended command list can be outputted on the screen. In this case, the user executes an application or command specified by the user while simultaneously viewing or comparing the content of the first screen 501 and a portion of the dragged second screen 703, or an application list or a specified There is an advantage of being able to select and execute a predetermined application or command on the command list.

In addition, according to another embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 7 (b), when the mobile terminal 100 senses the first extended input, the first screen 501 previously displayed on the display unit 151 Up, the second screen 502 dragged according to the drag touch may be deleted, and the designated application list or command list may be displayed on the first screen 501 where the first extended input is started to be input. When the user executes a pre-designated application or command related to the first screen 501, the second screen 502 that was insignificantly dragged according to the drag touch included in the first extended input is deleted so that the user There is an advantage of being able to focus more on (501).

In addition, similarly, when the screen displayed on the display unit 151 is scrolled by the drag touch of the first extended input, the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention provides a list of applications or commands designated on the screen before being scrolled. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the technical idea of the present invention that a list can be displayed.

Until now, referring to FIGS. 4 to 7, when the mobile terminal 100 senses the first extended input, a list of commands specified by the user is displayed to the user, and when a predetermined command is selected, the corresponding command is sent to the mobile terminal 100. ) Can be executed.

However, the above-described embodiment refers to an embodiment for convenience of understanding and description of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

For example, in step S310 of FIG. 3 as the extended input according to an embodiment of the present invention, the second extended input may be designated as the user's preferred extended input. That is, the user may designate an additional input of the designated key as the second extended input after the drag touch.

Here, the additional input is one of a physical key provided in the mobile terminal, a soft key displayed on a touch screen among the display units of the mobile terminal, and a touch key provided in a portion other than the touch screen. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the technical idea of the present invention that the user can designate variously according to the means provided in the mobile terminal.

For example, in step S310 of FIG. 3 as the extended input according to an embodiment of the present invention, the third extended input may be designated as the user's preferred extended input. For this purpose, although not shown in FIG. 3, the control method of the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the display unit 151 according to a designated method (for example, 2X2) or a method designated by the user. The step of dividing the image screen and displaying it to the user, and receiving a path of the drag touch input from the user between the divided regions through the above-described third extended input.

8 to 10, FIG. 8 shows an example in which the mobile terminal 100 divides the screen into 2×2 on the display unit 151 and displays it to the user according to the user's designation. As illustrated in FIG. 1, suppose that a user dragged touch from the second area to the fourth area is designated as the third extended input. In this case, the mobile terminal 100 is a drag touch-in from the second area to the fourth area even when a predetermined first screen is displayed on the display unit 151 of the mobile terminal 100 as illustrated in FIG. 10. When sensing that the third extended input is input, a designated application or command may be executed or a designated application list or command list may be displayed.

The control method of the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention described above may be implemented as a computer-readable code in a computer-readable recording medium. Computer-readable recording media include all types of recording media in which data that can be decoded by a computer system are stored. For example, there may be read only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), magnetic tape, magnetic disk, flash memory, optical data storage device, and the like. In addition, the computer-readable recording medium can be distributed to a computer system connected through a computer communication network, and stored and executed as code that can be read in a distributed manner.

The above has been described with reference to the embodiments of the present invention, but those of ordinary skill in the relevant technical field variously modify the present invention within the scope not departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention described in the following claims.
