Abstract
The present invention relates to an electronic device having a touch screen and a method of operating the same.
An electronic device having a touch screen according to the present invention includes a touch screen, a menu providing unit for providing a secret touch registration screen to a touch screen according to a secret touch registration request for setting a lock, and a plurality of touches on a secret touch registration screen. When input, the touch recognition module detects one or more first touch points corresponding to each touch, and a controller configured to register each first touch point as a secret touch.
Description
The present invention relates to an electronic device having a touch screen and a method of operating the same, and more particularly, to an electronic device having a touch screen capable of setting and releasing a lock using a touch and a method of operating the same.
As communication technology has developed, most people have provided electronic devices such as mobile communication terminals or computers.
Meanwhile, in recent years, electronic devices have been provided with a touch module, so that a user can operate an electronic device by touching a menu displayed on a touch screen using an object such as a hand or a pen.
As more and more users use such electronic devices, they set locks on the electronic devices so that their personal information or important information cannot be seen by others.
In general, a lock is set and released by registering a password, which usually consists of four numbers.
However, such a combination of numbers is required these days, a technique that can utilize the characteristics of individual users in a more uniform and static way that individual personality is important.
Thus, an object of the present invention for solving the above problems, a plurality of touch input simultaneously or consecutively with a password for setting the lock having a touch screen that can set or unlock the lock An electronic device and its method of operation are provided.
Accordingly, the electronic device having a touch screen according to the present invention includes a touch screen; A menu providing unit providing a secret touch registration screen to the touch screen in response to a secret touch registration request for setting a lock; A touch recognition module configured to detect one or more first touch points corresponding to each touch when a plurality of touches are input to the secret touch registration screen; And a controller that registers each of the first touch points as a secret touch.
The secret touch registration screen may include a valid area for determining the touch as a valid input and an invalid area for determining the touch as an invalid input.
The effective area may include N small areas divided into one or more areas.
The touch recognition module may recognize two or more touches input to any one of the N small areas.
The controller may store a small area to which the first touch point belongs and the number of touch points included in the small area among the N small areas, and register each first touch point as the secret touch. It is done.
The menu providing unit may provide a unlock screen for unlocking the touch screen to the touch screen according to the unlock request, and the touch recognition module corresponds to each touch when a plurality of touches are input to the unlock screen. Detects one or more second touch points, and the controller determines whether each of the second touch points corresponds to the first touch points registered as the secret touch, and if so, releases the lock.
The unlock screen may include a valid area for determining the touch as a valid input and an invalid area for determining the touch as an invalid input.
The effective area may include N small areas divided into one or more areas.
The touch recognition module may recognize two or more touches input to any one of the N small areas.
The controller determines whether each of the second touch points is a touch point belonging to a small area registered as the secret touch among the N small areas, and includes the touch points included in the small area to which each second touch point belongs. The number of times is equal to the number of touch points included in the small area registered as the secret touch, and when the two conditions are satisfied, the lock is released.
The touch recognition module may determine a multi-touch when the plurality of touches are input at the same time, and detect a multi-touch point corresponding to each touch.
When the plurality of touches are touches that are continuously input within a preset time, the touch recognition module determines that the touch is a continuous touch and detects one continuous touch point.
The controller may register each touch point as a full lock secret touch corresponding to the full lock or a partial lock secret touch corresponding to the partial lock when the lock setting is a full lock or a partial lock. .
The partial lock may correspond to one of a text message, a phone call and a photo album view.
On the other hand, the operation method of the electronic device with a touch screen according to the present invention, when a secret touch registration request for the lock setting is input, the first step of displaying a secret touch registration screen on the touch screen; Detecting a plurality of first touch points corresponding to each touch when a plurality of touches are input to the secret touch registration screen; And a third step of registering each detected first touch point as a secret touch.
In addition, when the unlock request is input, a fourth step of displaying the unlock screen on the touch screen; when a plurality of touches are input to the unlock screen, detecting at least one second touch point corresponding to each touch And a fifth step of determining whether the detected second touch points correspond to the first touch points registered as the secret touch, and releasing the locks if the corresponding second touch points correspond to the first touch points registered as the secret touch.
Therefore, in the related art, each of the preset passwords is sequentially pressed to unlock the electronic device. However, according to the present invention, at least one multi-touch is used to immediately unlock the lock or unlock the lock using a combination of several combinations. You can do it. That is, since the secret touch for locking setting can be registered by a combination of multi-touch and continuous touch or touch, the number of cases where the secret touch can be registered by secret touch is more diverse than in the related art.
It can also be unlocked with a single multi-touch, making it easier to remember than a password consisting of individual numbers.
In addition, there is an effect that it is easy to partially lock and unlock by changing a touch on a message or a telephone function.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
However, in describing the present invention, when it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
