According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method of providing an interface of a mobile terminal for emptying a specific folder or deleting data stored in a specific folder will be described.

Figure 2 shows a flowchart of one embodiment of the present invention for emptying a specific folder or deleting data stored in a specific folder.

Referring to FIG. 2, an embodiment of the present invention includes an object selecting step S10, a motion detecting step S20, a motion determining step S30, and a function executing step S40.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram for explaining an object selection step S10 of FIG. 2. Referring to FIG. 3, at least one or more folders are displayed on the touch screen 50 by touching a specific point on the touch screen 50 or the touch pad 60. In the object selecting step S10, the specific folder is selected by touching a specific folder portion among the folders displayed on the touch screen 50. In FIG. 3, the trash folder 52 is selected, but in another embodiment Inbox folders or other folders can be selected. By touching the trash folder 52 area, an indicator is displayed on the trash folder 52 to indicate that the trash folder 52 has been selected. Since the trash folder 52 is selected, information about data stored in the trash folder 52 is not displayed on the touch screen 50. Meanwhile, the recycle bin folder 52 is a temporary storage folder for temporarily storing deleted data.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram for describing the motion detection step S20 of FIG. 2. Referring to FIG. 4, when the mobile terminal 100 to which the embodiment of the present invention is applied moves, the inclination angle of the mobile terminal 100 in the longitudinal direction is changed by θ from a state where the trash folder 52 is selected. At this time, the motion sensor 70 measures the change amount of the angle θ and the change direction of the angle θ in the longitudinal direction of the mobile terminal 100 from the trash folder 52 is selected. Θ, which is a change amount of the tilt angle, is a change amount of the tilt angle in the longitudinal direction of the mobile terminal 100 on a plane perpendicular to the horizontal plane, that is, a change amount of the tilt angle generated by tilting the mobile terminal 100 in the vertical direction.

Although not shown in the drawing, the control unit 10 according to the detection signal of the motion sensor 70 in the motion determination step (S30), the change amount θ of the inclination angle in the longitudinal direction of the mobile terminal 100 and the first predetermined angle It is determined whether or not there is a value between the second predetermined angles. However, the first predetermined angle is smaller than the second predetermined angle.

5 to 7 are schematic diagrams for explaining the function execution step S40 of FIG.

5 and 7, if it is determined that θ is a value between the first predetermined angle and the second predetermined angle, the controller 10 may trash at least one data belonging to the trash folder 52 in the function execution step S40. Delete from the folder 52.

Referring to FIG. 5, the function execution step S40 will be described in more detail. In the function execution step S40, information about data stored in the trash folder 52 is displayed on the touch screen 50. In this case, information about the data is displayed in the form of a fluidized bed, which forms the upper and lower layers from the top to the bottom. Information about data is typically the name of a file. Information about two or more data is displayed in the form of a liquid contained in a cup, and θ, which is a change amount of the inclination angle in the longitudinal direction of the mobile terminal 100, is moved from the state of the mobile terminal 100 in the object selection step S10 to the horizon direction. If it is changed, as shown in Fig. 5, it is displayed as being inclined in the horizontal direction, and the change amount θ of the inclination angle in the longitudinal direction of the mobile terminal 100 is in the vertical direction from the state of the mobile terminal 100 in the object selection step S10. If it is changed to, it is displayed as if it is inclined in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. On the other hand, the information about the two or more data is displayed in a fluidized bed form the upper and lower layers while going from the top to the bottom in the oldest time stored in the mobile terminal 100.

 Referring to FIG. 7, as the change amount θ of the inclination angle in the longitudinal direction of the mobile terminal 100 is maintained between the first predetermined angle and the second predetermined angle, data is deleted from the upper layer data to the lower layer data. At this time, the data is deleted in a form in which information about data displayed in the form of a fluidized bed flows out from the cup. As the information on upper data flows out and is deleted, the information on the lower layer data is stored in the upper data. As information relating to the location is located, and as the information regarding the lowest layer data rises, information about data belonging to the trash folder 52 is not displayed on the touch screen 50, but is newly displayed on the lower layer.

On the other hand, in the function execution step (S40), as the data is deleted from the trash folder 52 which is a specific folder, a specific sound is generated. That is, as the information on the data displayed on the touch screen 50 flows out, the sound of running water occurs.

On the other hand, although not shown in the figure, in the above-described embodiment has a function execution stop step. In the function execution stop step, as the change amount θ of the inclination angle in the longitudinal direction of the mobile terminal 100 during the function execution step S40 is changed to be less than the first predetermined angle from the state where the trashcan folder 52 is selected, The function execution step S40 is stopped. That is, the mobile terminal 100 is moved closer to the state where the trashcan folder 52 has been selected so that the change amount θ of the inclination angle in the longitudinal direction of the mobile terminal 100 becomes less than the first predetermined angle, so that the trashcan folder ( Deletion of data belonging to 52) is stopped.

In the above-described embodiment, the information about the data stored in the Trash folder 52 is displayed on the touch screen 50 in the function execution step S40. However, in another embodiment, the Trash folder ( Information about data stored in 52 may be displayed on the touch screen 50.
