Hereinafter, the components will be described in order.

The wireless communication unit 110 may include one or more modules that enable wireless communication between the mobile terminal 100 and the wireless communication system or between the mobile terminal 100 and a network in which the mobile terminal 100 is located. For example, the wireless communication unit 110 may include a broadcast receiving module 111, a mobile communication module 112, a wireless internet module 113, and the like.

The broadcast receiving module 111 receives a broadcast signal and / or broadcast related information from an external broadcast management server through a broadcast channel.

The broadcast channel may include a satellite channel and a terrestrial channel. The broadcast management server may mean a server that generates and transmits a broadcast signal and / or broadcast related information or a server that receives a previously generated broadcast signal and / or broadcast related information and transmits the same to a terminal. The broadcast signal may include not only a TV broadcast signal, a radio broadcast signal, and a data broadcast signal, but also a broadcast signal having a data broadcast signal combined with a TV broadcast signal or a radio broadcast signal.

The broadcast related information may mean information related to a broadcast channel, a broadcast program, or a broadcast service provider. The broadcast related information may also be provided through a mobile communication network. In this case, it may be received by the mobile communication module 112.

The broadcast receiving module 111 receives broadcast signals using various broadcasting systems, and in particular, digital multimedia broadcasting-terrestrial (DMB-T), digital multimedia broadcasting-satellite (DMB-S), and media forward link (MediaFLO). Digital broadcast signals can be received using digital broadcasting systems such as only), digital video broadcast-handheld (DVB-H), integrated services digital broadcast-terrestrial (ISDB-T), and the like. Of course, the broadcast receiving module 111 may be configured to be suitable for not only the above-described digital broadcast system but also other broadcast system for providing a broadcast signal.

The mobile communication module 112 transmits and receives a radio signal with at least one of a base station, an external terminal, and a server on a mobile communication network. The wireless signal may include various types of data according to transmission and reception of a voice call signal, a video call call signal, or a text / multimedia message.

Wireless Internet technologies may include Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), Wireless Broadband (Wibro), World Interoperability for Microwave Access (Wimax), High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), and the like.

The A / V unit 120 is for inputting an audio signal or a video signal, and may include a camera 121 and a microphone 122. The camera 121 processes image frames such as still images or moving images obtained by the image sensor in the video call mode or the photographing mode. The processed image frame may be displayed on the display unit 151.

The image frame processed by the camera 121 may be stored in the memory unit 160 or transmitted to the outside through the wireless communication unit 110. The camera 121 may be equipped with two or more cameras according to the configuration of the terminal.

The microphone 122 receives an external sound signal by a microphone in a call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, etc., and processes the external sound signal into electrical voice data. The processed voice data can be converted into a form that can be transmitted to the mobile communication base station through the mobile communication module 112 when the voice data is in the call mode, and output. The microphone 122 may implement various noise removing algorithms for removing noise generated in the process of receiving an external sound signal. Two or more microphones 122 may also be provided, depending on the configuration of the terminal (see reference numeral 122 ′ in FIG. 2A).

The input unit 130 is a user interface for receiving various commands from a user, and the implementation thereof is not particularly limited. In general, a keypad type, a wheel key type, a touch pad type, a touch screen type, or the like may be used in combination. Recently, a large number of touch screen systems have been adopted due to increased space utilization, demand for enlargement of display screens, and design considerations. In this case, the input unit 130 has an information display function such as the display unit 151 which will be described later. It can also be done.

The input unit 130 may include a plurality of operation units for receiving a command for controlling the operation of the mobile terminal 100. The manipulation units may be employed in any manner as long as the user is in a tactile manner to operate while having a tactile feeling.

The contents input by the operation units may be variously set. For example, there may be separate operation units for receiving commands such as start, end, move, selection, scrolling, sound resizing, mode switching, and the like. Alternatively, two or more different commands may be mapped to one operation unit.

Therefore, in the present specification, the input unit 130 collectively refers to operation units of a conventional type provided in a terminal for receiving a user's command. In addition, in the present invention, a user's command for implementing a specific display effect and / or a specific terminal function may be input to the terminal even without the manipulation of the input unit 130. This may be based on the detection of a specific event through the sensing unit 140, which will be described later, including the motion sensor 141 and / or the blow sensing unit 142. This may be more clearly understood from the following description and from the detailed description of the figures subsequent to FIGS. 5 to 13B.

The sensing unit 140 detects a specific event occurring in the mobile terminal 100 and generates a sensing signal related thereto. This sensing signal may be transmitted to the controller 180.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the sensing unit 140 may detect an event related to a specific motion occurring in the terminal itself. For example, the sensing unit 140 may detect a motion event of the terminal by including a motion sensor 141 as shown in FIG. 1.

The motion sensor 141 may detect at least one of an angle change, a direction change, a posture change, a position change, an intensity change of a movement, and a speed change of the terminal in relation to the movement occurring in the terminal. As the motion sensor 141, an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, an inertial sensor, or the like may be used. In addition, any sensor that can detect / recognize the movement, motion, and position of an object can be applied without any particular limitation.

An example of an angle change and a direction change of the terminal are shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B. In FIG. 3A, the terminal is inclined about 30 degrees clockwise on the same plane with reference to the line A-A '(see cw_A in FIG. 3A). 3B is a clockwise tilt (rotation) of the terminal (see cw_A in FIG. 3B) and a counterclockwise tilt (ccw_A in FIG. 3B) and B-B 'based on the A-A' line. Clockwise tilt (rotation) (see cw_B in FIG. 3B) and counterclockwise tilt (ccw_B in FIG. 3B) are shown when the line is referenced.

The angle change and the direction change of the terminal may be determined differently depending on where the reference axis of the tilt (rotation) is placed. For example, in FIG. 3G, the angle change when the C-C 'line is the reference axis among three orthogonal axes (that is, the C-C' line, the D-D 'line, and the E-E' line) is used. And direction change.

An example of the posture change of the terminal is shown in FIG. 3C. Referring to FIG. 3C, the terminal changes its posture (ie, “front and rear”) with the first surface of the first body 101 in the front and the bottom surface of the second body 102 in the front. Upside down). The up and down flipping in FIG. 12B, which will be described later, may also be an example of the terminal posture change. Of course, such terminal posture changes may be viewed as examples of terminal angle changes (and direction changes) as defined.

An example of the position change of the terminal is shown in FIG. 3D. Referring to FIG. 3D, the terminal is moving forwards in space (see FW in FIG. 3D) or backwards (see BW in FIG. 3D). In addition, various positional movements (changes) in space may correspond to this.

The shake event shown in FIG. 3E and the snap stroke event shown in FIG. 3F may also correspond to at least one of an angle change, a direction change, a posture change, and a position change of the terminal described above. Here, the snap stroke event is, for example, a movement event associated with an action (so-called "tack" stroke action) such as giving a snap to the wrist while holding the terminal in hand and then returning it to its original position. Means.

From a terminal perspective, the division of the snap stroke event and the shake event may be performed, for example, in the following manner. For example, when a motion event similar to the snap stroke event occurs at a specific time interval, the terminal may recognize that the snap stroke event has repeatedly occurred, and count the number of occurrences of the snap stroke event. On the other hand, even if a motion event similar to the snap stroke event is detected, when the motion event occurs more quickly at intervals of a specific time or less, the terminal may recognize that the shake event has occurred.

The speed change or the intensity change of the terminal movement can be easily understood through, for example, the shaking event shown in FIG. 3E. Even in the same shake event, the terminal may recognize it as another event according to a difference in the speed or / and intensity of the shake. For example, the terminal may recognize when the terminal is shaken slowly or weakly and when the terminal shakes quickly or hardly. This will be more clearly understood through the description of FIGS. 5 to 13b to be described later.

In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the sensing unit 140 may detect an event related to a specific external input generated outside the terminal and input to the terminal. For example, the sensing unit 140 may include a blow detector 142 as illustrated in FIG. 1 to sense a blow of a user input to the terminal.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, when the user "after" and the input wind is input through a microphone (see 122 'of FIG. 4A) provided in the mobile terminal 100, the blow detection unit ( 142 may detect a sound according to the user's mouth from the sound input through the microphone. As described above, a signal processing method such as inter frame noise elimination may be applied to detect the user's mouth wind sound. In FIG. 4B, an example is a method of determining that sound signals of 59.45 Hz and 65.45 Hz among the input sound signals in the expected sound range of the user's mouth may be noise.

Another method of detecting a user's mouth wind is to use a sound / speech recognition technique. In other words, when the user blows the wind after "after", it is an example of recognizing the sound after "after" using voice recognition technology.

In addition, the blow detector 142 may be configured to further obtain at least one of the input direction and the intensity of the wind blowing according to the implementation manner. For example, the blow detector 142 may include an directional microphone to detect an input direction of the wind. In addition, the blow detector 142 may be configured to detect the intensity of the wind from the signal waveform of the wind wind sound by including an acoustic analysis device. This will also be more clearly understood from the following description.

In this case, whether to activate or deactivate the sensing operation of the sensing unit 140 may be determined according to a user's setting. For example, if the user does not want to execute the operations according to the present invention described below, the sensing unit 140 may be set to be deactivated.

Alternatively, the activation / deactivation of the sensing unit 140 may be automatically controlled by the terminal itself according to a specific situation. For example, with reference to the embodiments of FIGS. 10A to 10E to be described later, when an alarm / morning call is being transmitted after a call is received until the user presses a call button, or when a broadcast receiving / video playing application is received. Only while this is being executed, the sensing operation of the sensing unit 140 may be set to be activated. This will be more clearly understood from the description below.

 The output unit 150 is used to generate an output related to sight, hearing, or tactile sense, and may include a display unit 151, an audio output module 152, an alarm unit 153, a haptic module 154, and the like. have.

The display unit 151 displays and outputs information processed by the mobile terminal 100. For example, when the mobile terminal is in a call mode, the mobile terminal displays a user interface (UI) or a graphic user interface (GUI) related to the call. When the mobile terminal 100 is in a video call mode or a photographing mode, the mobile terminal 100 may display a photographed and / or received image, a UI, or a GUI.

The display unit 151 may include two or more display devices or modules according to the implementation form of the mobile terminal 100.

Can be used. The touch sensor may have, for example, a form of a touch film, a touch sheet, a touch pad, or the like.

The touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in pressure applied to a specific portion of the display module 151 or capacitance generated at a specific portion of the display device / module into an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect not only the position and area of the touch but also the pressure and directionality of the touch.

If there is a touch input to the touch sensor, the corresponding signal (s) is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal (s) and then transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. Thus, the controller 180 can know which area of the display device / module has been touched.

The sound output module 152 may output audio data received from the wireless communication unit 110 or stored in the memory unit 160 in a call signal reception, a call mode or a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, and the like. In addition, the sound output module 152 may output a sound signal related to a function (eg, a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.) performed by the mobile terminal 100. The sound output module 152 may include a receiver, a speaker, a buzzer, and the like.

The alarm unit 153 outputs a signal for notifying occurrence of an event of the mobile terminal 100. Examples of events occurring in the mobile terminal include call signal reception, message reception, key signal input, and touch input. The alarm unit 153 may output a signal for notifying occurrence of an event in a form other than a video signal or an audio signal, for example, vibration. The video signal or the audio signal may also be output through the display unit 151 or the audio output module 152.

The haptic module 154 generates various tactile effects that the user can feel. Vibration is a representative example of the haptic effect generated by the haptic module 154. The intensity and pattern of vibration generated by the haptic module 154 can be controlled. For example, different vibrations may be synthesized and output or may be sequentially output.

In addition to the vibration, the haptic module 154 may be used for the effects of stimulation by the arrangement of pins vertically moving with respect to the contact skin surface, the effect of the injection force of the air through the injection or inlet or the stimulation through the suction force, and the stimulation that rubs the skin surface. Various tactile effects may be generated, such as effects by stimulation through contact of electrodes, effects by stimulation using electrostatic force, and effects of reproducing a sense of warmth and heat using an endothermic or heat generating element.

The haptic module 154 may not only deliver a haptic effect through direct contact, but also implement a haptic effect through a muscle sense of a user's finger or arm. Two or more haptic modules 154 may be provided according to configuration aspects of the mobile terminal 100.

The memory unit 160 may store a program for the operation of the controller 180 and may store input / output data (eg, a phone book, a message, a still image, a video, etc.). The memory unit 160 may store data regarding vibration and sound of various patterns output when a touch input on the touch screen is performed.

In addition, in connection with the present invention, the memory unit 160 may further include a motion event related to the movement occurring in the terminal according to the angle change, direction change, posture change, position change, intensity change, speed change, a combination of two or more thereof, and the like. A look-up table that defines a display effect corresponding thereto may be stored in advance. Similarly, the memory unit 160 may previously store a lookup table that defines both the aforementioned wind blowing event and a display effect corresponding thereto.

By referring to the previously stored lookup table as described above, the controller 180 can apply the display effect corresponding to the motion event and / or the wind blow event to the dot matrix display 151b.

Here, the "dot display change" means a change in the display aspect of each dot that constitutes the dot matrix display.

For example, the blinking of the dot in which the dot is turned on or off may belong to this. Flickering of dots may proceed at different speeds for each dot. In addition, all of the dots constituting the dot matrix display may blink at the same time, but may also partially blink. In addition, the dots may blink in a particular order, pattern, or randomly.

As another example, a change in color displayed by individual dots may belong to a change in dot display. For example, the dot display (output) color may change from blue to red. Such a dot color change can be implemented by, for example, configuring individual dots as full color LEDs. Alternatively, even when the individual dots are implemented as monochromatic LEDs, for example, when the dot matrix display is configured by a combination of a blue LED, a red LED, a yellow (or green) LED, a white LED, and the like, the change of the dot color as described above is changed. Can be implemented. The change of dot color may also occur collectively or partially, and may be generated to have a specific order, pattern or random.

Further, the "dot pattern image" refers to all images that can be patterned or shaped by a combination of a plurality of dots.

Here, the positional shift of the dot pattern image means that the display position on the dot matrix display is changed while the dot pattern image itself is not changed. This will be clearly understood through the example of FIG. 5 to be described later.

In addition, the dispersion of the dot pattern image means that the original image due to the dot pattern is scattered and displayed by accompanied by a change in the blinking state of the dots, a change in the display position, and the like. This will be clearly understood through the example of FIG. 6 to be described later.

In addition, the formation, replacement, or disappearance of a dot pattern image means a display effect such that a dot pattern image, which was not originally present, is newly displayed, the original dot pattern image is replaced with another image, or the original dot pattern image disappears. do.

The change of the dot pattern image may further include an image size change such that the original dot pattern image is reduced or enlarged, an image distortion caused by the original dot pattern image being biased or superimposed on either side, or the like. . Of course, it is obvious that countless image changes can be included here.

Further, it will be understood that the "display effect" may appear correspondingly based on the intensity, speed, direction, duration, number of occurrences, or a combination of two or more of the detected events. For example, even if a shake event, a snap stroke event, or the like occurs, the dot pattern change may occur faster or more frequently in proportion to the magnitude of the detected motion or the magnitude of the speed. For another example, the direction in which the change of the dot pattern occurs may be determined corresponding to the direction of the sensed operation (see FIG. 5). In addition, the time at which the change of the dot pattern is maintained / continued or the frequency and speed at which the change of the dot pattern occurs may be changed in proportion to the length of the detected operation duration.

The above description may be equally applied to a case of a wind and wind event. That is, the change (ie, display effect) of the dot pattern to be reflected on the dot matrix display may be set differently based on (or in proportion to) the intensity, the direction, the duration, the number of occurrences of the wind and wind event. For example, other display effects may be mapped according to strength (strong or weak blowing), long and short (long or short blowing), etc. of the mouth wind event.

In addition, all of the above descriptions related to the display effect may be similarly applied to other embodiments of the present invention (that is, controlling output contents related to a specific operation executed in the terminal according to a detected event). For example, the sound / vibration transmitted from the terminal may be silently switched in a faster time in proportion to the strength or speed of the operation of shaking the terminal.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention (ie, reflecting a specific display effect on a dot matrix display of a terminal according to a detected event) will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8, and another embodiment of the present invention ( That is, controlling the output content related to a specific operation executed in the terminal according to the detected event) will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 13b.

5 to 13b are just a few examples of the above-described one embodiment or another embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, in addition to the content to be described in the above drawings there can be a variety of implementations of course. In addition, it is obvious that the mapping relationship between a specific event and a specific display effect (or a specific output control content) may be different from that in FIGS. 5 to 13B according to a predefined content in the terminal. In addition, the mapping relationship may of course vary according to the user's setting. For example, when a terminal is provided with a menu item for newly setting or changing the mapping relationship, the user may enter the menu item and newly define or change the mapping relationship according to his / her convenience and taste. There will be.

Hereinafter, FIGS. 5 to 13b will be described in turn.

5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display effect reflected in a dot matrix display according to a tilt event occurring in a terminal. Referring to FIG. 5, a dot pattern displaying a time (10 o'clock in the present example) at the center of the dot matrix display 151b in FIG. 5B is obtained by tilting the mobile terminal 100 left or right. It can be seen that the display is moved to the left side (see FIG. 5A) or the right side (see FIG. 5C) of the display area of the dot matrix display 151b in correspondence to the tilt direction.

According to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the tilting event generated in the terminal is detected by the sensing unit 140, the controller 180, as an example of the display effect, is tilted in the tilting direction of the tilting event. Correspondingly, the display position of the dot pattern displayed on the dot matrix display 151b can be shifted. Although not specifically illustrated through the drawings, the movement of the display position of the dot pattern as described above may occur in correspondence with, for example, the generation (input) direction of the wind and wind event.

6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display effect reflected in a dot matrix display according to a shaking event occurring in a terminal. Referring to FIG. 6, when the mobile terminal 100 is shaken while a specific dot pattern is displayed on the dot matrix display 151b as shown in FIG. 6A, the dot pattern starts to be dispersed (FIG. b)), and disappear completely afterwards (see FIG. 6 (c)).

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the shaking event generated in the terminal is detected by the sensing unit 140, the controller 180 is an example of the display effect, the strength and speed of the shaking event. , The dot pattern displayed on the dot matrix display 151b may be dispersed or completely extinguished in correspondence with the duration. This may also be similarly applied in the case of a wind blow event (hereinafter, the same).

In this case, in order to prevent a malfunction caused by the shaking of the terminal caused by an unintended operation of the user, the controller 180 may detect, for example, the detected movement by a specific width ( If it is determined that the shaking is not more than width), it may be determined that the shaking event has not occurred. Or, it may be determined that the detected event is valid only when the detected event occurs at a strength, speed, or time above a certain threshold. This is equally applicable to all the description below.

7A to 7C illustrate examples of display effects reflected in a dot matrix display according to a snap stroke event occurring in a terminal.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when a snap stroke event occurring in the terminal is detected by the sensing unit 140, the controller 180 is an example of the display effect, and a dot matrix is generated every time the snap stroke event occurs. The dot pattern displayed on the display 151b may be changed.

For example, referring to FIG. 7A, a dot pattern that flashed in correspondence with the first snap stroke event (see (a) and (a ′) of FIG. 7A) may display a dot matrix display in response to the second snap stroke event. The display position is moved from the top to the bottom of 151b, and then stacked at the bottom (see FIGS. 7A and 7B). The dot pattern then disappears as it passes from top to bottom of the dot matrix display 151b in correspondence with the third snap stroke event (see FIGS. 7A and 7C), and corresponds to the fourth snap stroke event. It can be seen that disappearing faster passing (it is referred to as "passing" in preparation for "passing", see Figure 7a (d) and (d ')).

As another example, referring to FIG. 7B, an initial " heart " dot pattern is displayed on the dot matrix display 151b (see (a) in FIG. 7B), and each time a snap stroke event occurs, the dot It can be seen that the pattern is changed (replaced) into a "face expression" shaped dot pattern (see (b) of FIG. 7B) and then a "star" shaped dot pattern (see (c) of FIG. 7B). have.

As another example, referring to FIG. 7C, each time a snap stroke event occurs, it can be seen that a dot pattern of an “arrow” shape displayed on the dot matrix display 151b is repeatedly blinking (see FIG. 7C ( a), (b), (c) in that order).

In the above, the case where the change of the dot pattern occurs every time a snap stroke event occurs is described, but may be set differently. For example, when the snap stroke event occurs a predetermined number of times in a predetermined time, the controller 180 may display only one specific dot pattern mapped to the dot matrix display 151b. For example, when the snap stroke event occurs twice in a row, a dot pattern having a "heart" shape is displayed on the dot matrix display 151b. Alternatively, the dot pattern may be changed as many times as the number of occurrences at a time later, corresponding to the number of occurrences of the continuous snap stroke event. For example, when the snap stroke event occurs three times in succession, the dot pattern is repeatedly generated three times after the three snap stroke events are completed. The content related to the continuous detection of the motion event (or the repetitive detection within a predetermined time) may be similarly applied to the above-described shake event. In this case, the change of the dot pattern may occur in proportion to the repetition speed / intensity of the shaking event.

8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display effect reflected on a dot matrix display according to a motion trajectory generated in a terminal. Referring to FIG. 8, as the motion event generated in the terminal has a "heart" shape of the motion trajectory as shown in FIG. 8A, a dot pattern having a "heart" shape is displayed on the dot matrix display 151b ( (B) of FIG. 8).

As described above, when a motion event having a continuous motion trajectory is detected by the sensing unit 140, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 180 is an example of the display effect. A dot pattern having a shape corresponding to (ie, identical or close to) may be displayed on the dot matrix display 151b.

As described above, although the case of the motion event as the specific event detected by the sensing unit 140 has been mainly described in FIGS. 5 to 8, the same may be applied to the case of the mouth wind event. This is also the case in the embodiments to be described below.

In particular, in the case of a wind blow event, a display effect reflecting an intuitive perception of the user related to the wind blow may occur. For example, a display effect such that a "balloon" shaped dot pattern swells on the dot matrix display 151b as the user's mouth is input to the mobile terminal 100, and then "balloon" as the mouth wind is continuously input. Display effects such as “dot dot pattern burst” and display effects such as “flying paper” may occur. Or display effects in which warm energy / heart is displayed / transmitted according to the input of the wind (for example, display effects such as the “heart-shaped” dot pattern becomes larger, brighter, or reddish) May occur in the dot matrix display 151b.

In addition, the display effect may be an entertainment element. This may increase the interest of the user. That is to reflect the entertainment element and the game element in the dot pattern to be displayed on the dot matrix display 151b. For example, a display effect such that a dot pattern having a "ball" shape moves according to a direction in which the mobile terminal 100 is tilted, and "" displayed on the dot matrix display 151b whenever the mobile terminal 100 is hit or shaken. Display effects, such as dice games, where numbers "change or" dice "rolls can occur. In addition, by distinguishing a snap stroke in the left direction, a snap stroke in the right direction, and a snap stroke in the downward direction, effects such as manipulating a kind of joystick can be achieved, such as "tetris" on the dot matrix display 151b. Could be

In the above, the case where the controller 180 reflects a specific display effect on the dot matrix display 151b in response to a specific event detected by the sensing unit 140 according to an embodiment of the present invention. It was. Hereinafter, referring to FIGS. 9 to 13B, according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, a case in which the controller 180 controls specific output contents of the terminal in response to a specific event detected by the sensing unit 140 will be described. do.

9 is a diagram illustrating that an operation of a dot matrix display is activated / deactivated according to a flipping event occurring in a terminal. Referring to FIG. 9, the dot matrix display 151b in the operation activation state in FIG. 9A may be switched to the operation inactivation state as a flip event occurs (see FIG. 9B). In this case, when the flip event occurs once more, the dot matrix display 151b may be switched back to an operation activation state as shown in FIG. 9C. Or a specific event (e.g., a terminal manipulation event such as opening a folder or pressing a specific key or a specific event that needs to activate an operation of the dot matrix display 151b) such as a call reception. If not, even if the terminal is turned over again, the operation deactivation state of the dot matrix display 151b may be maintained (see FIG. 9D).

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when a flipping event occurring in the terminal is detected by the sensing unit 140, the controller 180 displays an dot matrix display corresponding to the flipping event as an example of the output control content. The display operation of 151b may be switched to an activated or deactivated state.

10A to 10D illustrate various output control contents related to a specific operation of a terminal according to a shaking event occurring in the terminal. 10E is a diagram illustrating an output control content related to a specific operation of a terminal according to a flip event occurring in the terminal.

Referring to FIG. 10A, when a call is received, the caller information (in this example, the caller name) is displayed on the dot matrix display 151b, and the mobile terminal 100 transmits a ring tone or vibration according to the set mode. (See (a) of FIG. 10A). At this time, when the user shakes the mobile terminal 100, the sender information displayed on the dot matrix display 151b gradually disappears, and the ring tone or vibration that is transmitted also gradually decreases, thereby finally switching to the silent state (FIG. 10A). (B), (c), (d) sequentially).

The above function (control method of output contents) is used in a specific situation (for example, when a call must be received during a meeting) where it is required to switch the ringing tone to a silent state without hanging up the received call. This can be very useful if

In this case, the unit in which the sender information displayed on the dot matrix display 151b disappears may be a letter unit or a dot unit. In addition, there may be silent switching such as disappearance and / or ringing of the sender information in proportion to shaking strength / speed or the like and in proportion to shaking time.

In a similar sense to the above, the user may mute the currently ringing alarm or wake-up call (see FIG. 10B), or pause or snooze the alarm or wake-up call, e.g. after 10 minutes. May be resent) (see FIG. 10C). In this case, the same or similar method as described with reference to FIG. 10A may be used.

As another example, the contents described with reference to FIGS. 10A to 10C may be similarly applied to broadcast reception (for example, DMB viewing), video playback, music playback, and the like through the mobile terminal 100.

FIG. 10D illustrates a case in which a voice output associated with a broadcasting or playing video being watched is muted as a shaking event is generated. In FIG. 10E, a broadcasting or playing video being watched as a flip event is generated. An example of stopping or pausing an image reception / output related to an example is illustrated. 10D and 10E are merely shown as if the folder is in the closed state to show the change of the dot pattern displayed on the dot matrix display 151b according to the detected event. Since broadcasting / video viewing is generally performed through the main display 151a of the mobile terminal 100, the shaking or flipping event may occur when a folder is opened.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the shaking event or the flipping event occurring in the terminal is detected by the sensing unit 140, the controller 180 is an example of the output control content, and the detected In response to the event, the output of sounds, vibrations, and images related to various applications running on the terminal may be stopped or delayed.

11 is a diagram illustrating that a video call is converted to a voice call according to a shaking event occurring in the terminal. Referring to FIG. 11, when a video call is received, a dot pattern indicating that the received call is a video call may be displayed on the dot matrix display 151b (see FIG. 11A). At this time, when the user shakes the mobile terminal 100, the dot pattern indicating the video call displayed on the dot matrix display 151b gradually disappears, and finally, the video call is converted into the voice call and the voice call is also switched. The dot pattern indicating that the image is displayed can be displayed on the dot matrix display 151b (see (b), (c), and (d) in FIG. 11). The same can be applied during the video call.

In FIG. 11, only the case where the video call is switched to the voice call according to a specific motion event is taken as an example, but the same technical concept may be applied to various applications. For example, the ringtone may be switched to vibration (or vice versa), erasing / displaying of the subtitle output when playing a video, and selecting a language regarding the subtitle being output. In addition, it is possible to control various output contents such as controlling the playback order of the video or music being played (for example, moving the playback order forward or backward 10 seconds).

12A and 12B also show that the output volume or the intensity of vibration is adjusted according to the shaking event or the post blowing event.

In the case of FIG. 12A, the volume or vibration intensity increases in stages according to a shaking event or a wind blowing event occurring in the terminal. In this case as well, the increase in the volume / vibration intensity can be displayed via the dot matrix display 151b (see (a), (b) and (c) in Fig. 12A).

In the case of FIG. 12B, the posture of the mobile terminal 100 is different from that of FIG. 12A, in which the volume or vibration intensity decreases in stages as a shaking event or a wind up event occurs. (See (a), (b), (c) sequence in FIG. 12B).

9 to 12B, the present invention has been described with a few examples, but it is apparent that various embodiments may exist in addition to a method of controlling a specific output content based on a specific event detection according to the present invention.

As described above, referring to FIGS. 9 to 12B, as an output related to a specific operation executed in a terminal is controlled, a dot pattern related to the output control content may be displayed on the dot matrix display 151b. Other examples of this are illustrated through FIGS. 13A and 13B.

Referring to FIG. 13A, for example, when an alarm / morning call is set to be delayed by a 10-minute delay as an event as shown in FIG. 10C occurs, the dot matrix display 151b has a shape of an “hourglass filled with sand on top”. Can be displayed (see Fig. 13A (a)). After that, the display effect such as sand gradually falls to the lower part of the hourglass continues, and when the delay time is set to 10 minutes, as shown in (b) of FIG. While the dot pattern is displayed on the dot matrix display 151b, an alarm / morning call can be sent (see (c) of FIG. 13A).

In the case of FIG. 13A, the alarm / morning call delay transmission is taken as an example. However, the "hourglass" shape dot pattern may be set to be displayed, for example, 10 minutes before the alarm / morning call transmission. Alternatively, when the user reserves the timer function for a specific purpose, the "hourglass" shaped dot pattern may be displayed.

In the case of FIG. 13B, an example of counting down the dot matrix display 151b corresponding to the number of messages or mails sequentially transmitted when broadcasting or simultaneously transmitting a message or mail is shown (FIG. 13B). (a), (b), (c) sequence).

In FIG. 13B, the number of messages to be broadcasted is counted down as an example. However, the countdown display as described above may be equally applied to cases such as upload or download time of a specific content, message transmission time, and scheduled recording / transmission / viewing time. Of course it is. In addition, different pattern effects may be applied to the dot matrix display 151b each time the count number decreases.

Although the above has been described with reference to embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may variously modify the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the claims below. And can be changed easily.
