The touch sensor may be configured to detect not only a touched position and area, but also a pressure at the time of touch.

When there is a touch input to the touch sensor, a signal(s) corresponding thereto is transmitted to a touch controller (not shown). The touch controller processes the signal(s) and then transmits the corresponding data to the controller 1180. As a result, the controller 1180 can know which area of the display 1151 is touched.

The proximity sensor 1141 may be disposed in an inner area of the smart unmanned calculator surrounded by the touch screen or near the touch screen. 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. When the touch screen is capacitive, it is configured to detect the proximity of the pointer by a change in an electric field according to the proximity of the pointer. In this case, the touch screen (touch sensor) may be classified as a proximity sensor.

Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, an action of allowing the pointer to be recognized as being positioned on the touch screen by approaching the touch screen without contacting the pointer is referred to as "proximity touch", and the touch The act of actually touching the pointer on the screen is referred to as "contact touch". A position at which a proximity touch is performed by a pointer on the touch screen means a position at which the pointer corresponds vertically to the touch screen when the pointer is touched.

The proximity sensor detects a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (eg, 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.). Information corresponding to the sensed proximity touch operation and proximity touch pattern may be output on the touch screen.

The sound output module 1152 may output audio data received from the wireless communication unit 1110 or stored in the memory 1160 in a call signal reception, a call mode or a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, and the like.
