Description

Event-driven beam-projector mobile communication terminal and its operation method {EVENT-DRIVEN BEAM-PROJECTOR MOBILE TELEPHONE AND OPERATING METHOD OF THE SAME}

The present invention relates to a beam-projector mobile communication terminal and an operation method thereof, and more particularly, to an event-driven beam-projector mobile communication terminal in which the driving of the beam-projector is automatically controlled in response to an event preset by a user. And a method of operation thereof.

The user interface of the mobile communication terminal has acted as one of the most important factors for product differentiation. The user interface is roughly divided into an input device that receives input from a user and a display device that provides an output to the user.

In particular, the display device that provides the output to the user has moved away from the conventional monochromatic liquid crystal display, and colorful display devices such as high-definition and large-area color TFT LCD (Thin Film Transistor) and color OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) It is already generally adopted.

However, due to constraints on the volume and weight of mobile communication terminals that must be carried at all times, the large area of the display device has a certain limitation. For example, in the case of a general mobile communication terminal, a display device having a display screen of about 2 inches is recognized as a limit, and a case of having a display screen of about 3 inches is limited even when a display panel having a touch panel type is used. It is recognized as.

In addition to overcoming the large area limitations of the display device, implementations including a beam projector of an internal type or an external type of a mobile communication terminal have emerged as a method for enabling various applications. The beam-projector makes it possible to enlarge and reproduce an image captured on a liquid crystal panel or the like on a white wall on which a screen and an image can be projected by irradiating light from a rear surface of a liquid crystal panel or the like on which an image is captured.

Although the integration of the beam-projector with the mobile communication terminal has many problems to be solved due to the characteristics of the beam-projector that consumes a lot of power (for example, the battery consumption problem of the mobile communication terminal and the heat generation problem of the beam-projector lamp), Enable a variety of applications. For example, when using a beam-projector in the case of mobile TV broadcasting such as Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) and similar methods (DVH-T, OneSeg, etc.), it may be possible to reproduce a vivid screen in a large area. . In addition, it may be possible to use a function such as a video call realized in the third generation mobile communication in a large area through a beam-projector.

However, the integration of the beam-projector and the mobile communication terminal has not yet provided a practical application beyond simply being able to provide a display of the mobile communication terminal on a large screen. In applications requiring provision, it is necessary to find a way to utilize more than the characteristics of a beam-projector that simply provides a large display.
