The touch screen module 163 may detect a user's touch gesture on a touch screen and transmit information about the touch gesture to the controller 150. The touch screen module 163 may be configured as a separate controller (H/W).

Various sensors may be provided inside or near the touch screen to sense a touch or a proximity touch of the touch screen. As an example of a sensor for sensing a touch on a touch screen, there is a tactile sensor. The tactile sensor refers to a sensor that detects contact with a specific object to the extent that a person feels it or more. The tactile sensor may detect various information such as roughness of a contact surface, hardness of a contact object, and temperature of a contact point.

In addition, as an example of a sensor for sensing a touch of a touch screen, there is a proximity sensor.

The proximity sensor 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. Examples of the proximity sensor 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. The user's touch gesture may include tap, touch and hold, double tap, drag, pan, flick, drag and drop, and swipe.

"Tap" refers to an operation in which a user touches the screen using a finger or a touch tool (eg, an electronic pen) and then immediately lifts it from the screen without moving.

"Touch & hold" refers to an operation of holding a touch input for a threshold time (eg, 2 seconds) or longer after a user touches the screen using a finger or a touch tool (stylus). That is, it means a case where the time difference between the touch-in time point and the touch-out time point is greater than or equal to a threshold time (eg, 2 seconds). In order to recognize whether the touch input is a tap or a touch & hold, a feedback signal may be provided visually, audibly, or tactilely when the touch input is maintained for more than a threshold time. The threshold time may be changed according to an implementation example.

"Double tap" refers to an operation in which a user touches the screen twice using a finger or a touch tool (stylus).

"Drag" refers to an operation in which a user touches a finger or a touch tool on the screen and then moves a finger or a touch tool to another location on the screen while maintaining the touch. Due to the drag operation, the object is moved or a panning operation to be described later is performed.

"Panning" refers to a case in which a user performs a drag operation without selecting an object. Because panning does not select a specific object, the object does not move within the page, but the page itself moves within the screen, or a group of objects moves within the page.

"Flick" refers to an operation in which a user drags at a threshold speed (eg, 100 pixels/s) or more using a finger or a touch tool. Drag (or panning) and flick may be distinguished based on whether the moving speed of the finger or the touch tool is greater than or equal to a threshold speed (eg, 100 pixel/s).

"Drag & drop" refers to an action of a user dragging an object to a predetermined position on the screen using a finger or a touch tool and then dropping it.

“Pinch” refers to an action of moving in different directions while the user touches two fingers on the screen. It is a gesture for Pinch Open or Pinch Close of an object or page, and an enlargement value or a reduction value is determined according to the distance between two fingers.

“Swipe” is an operation that moves a certain distance in a horizontal or vertical direction while touching an object on the screen with a finger or a touch tool. Movement in the diagonal direction may not be recognized as a swipe event.

The memory 160 may include a voice recognition module (not shown) for recognizing a user's voice using a voice recognition engine and transferring the recognized voice to the controller 150.

The alarm module 164 may generate a signal for notifying the occurrence of an event of the portable terminal 100. Examples of events occurring in the mobile terminal 100 include call signal reception, message reception, key signal input, schedule notification, and the like. The alarm module 164 may output an alarm signal in the form of a video signal through the display unit 121, may output an alarm signal in the form of an audio signal through the sound output unit 122, and the vibration motor 123 It is also possible to output an alarm signal in the form of a vibration signal through.

Meanwhile, the alarm module 164 may provide a snooze function. For example, when the user sets the number of alarm repetitions (e.g., 5 times) or the alarm repetition interval (e.g., 3 minutes), the alarm module 164 sends the alarm signal a predetermined number of times (e.g., 5 times) or a predetermined number of times. It can be output at intervals (eg, 3 minutes).

Applications stored in the memory 160 may be various. For example, the application DB 165 may include a reminder application, a contact application, a map application, a music application, an e-book application, a health care application, an exercise management application, and a child care application, but is not limited thereto.

The memory 160 may map and store identification information and notification information of the BLE device 200. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the memory 160 may map and store identification information of the BLE device 200 and a plurality of notification information.

At this time, when a situation in which the AP 151 in the sleep mode needs to be awakened (for example, when a predetermined application needs to be executed in relation to the received identification information of the BLE device 200) occurs, the sensor hub 31 May transmit an interrupt signal in the sense that there is data to be transmitted to the SSP manager 32 [S10].

The SSP manager 32 may transmit a signal requesting a data type and length to be transmitted by the sensor hub 31 to the sensor hub 31 [S20]. In this case, the sensor hub 31 may transmit the contents of the format and length of data to be transmitted to the SSP manager 32 [S30]. The SSP manager 32 transmits a reception preparation completion message (Start to read MSG) to the sensor hub 31 [S40], and when the start to read MSG is received, the sensor hub 31 advances BLE signal strength data, etc. It may be processed into a packet promised to and transmitted to the SSP manager 32 [S50].

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the BLE device 200 may broadcast sensing information measured through a sensor in a Manufacturer Specific Data (MSD) field of an advertising data packet. For example, if the BLE device 200 includes a temperature sensor and the current temperature measured by the temperature sensor is 36°C, the BLE device 200 displays a temperature of 36 in the Manufacturer Specific Data<<Sensor>> field. You can broadcast by inserting a code indicating that it is ℃ ('0X06000024').

Hereinafter, a method of providing a predetermined service based on information received from the BLE device 200 by the mobile terminal 100 will be schematically described with reference to FIG. 5.

In step 510, the portable terminal 100 may search for a nearby BLE device 200, and in step 520, the portable terminal 100 may register the found BLE device 200. For example, the mobile terminal 100 may search for a new BLE device 200 that is not registered in the mobile terminal 100 through BLE communication, and register the information of the searched BLE device 200 in the memory 160. have. In this case, the portable terminal 100 may register the searched BLE device 200 by mapping it with user additional information input from the user. This will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 6.

For example, the identification information of the third BLE device (eg, ID'AAA') and the Wi-Fi mode are mapped and stored, and the identification information of the third BLE device (eg, ID'BBB') is mapped to the Bluetooth mode. You can save it.

In operation 540, when the portable terminal 100 is located within a communication radius of the BLE device 200, the portable terminal 100 may receive identification information from the BLE device 200. In this case, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the portable terminal 100 may receive sensing information from the BLE device 200.

The portable terminal 100 may compare the identification information received from the BLE device 200 with a list of registered BLE devices stored in the memory 160 to determine whether the BLE device 200 transmitting the identification information is a registered device. .
