By scrolling the display unit 151 or the touch pad 135, the user may move an object displayed on the display unit 151, for example, a cursor or a pointer located at an icon. Further, when the finger is moved on the display portion 151 or the touch pad 135, the path along which the finger moves may be visually displayed on the display portion 151. [ This may be useful for editing an image displayed on the display unit 151.

One function of the terminal may be executed in response to a case where the display unit 151 (touch screen) and the touch pad 135 are touched together within a predetermined time range. In the case of being touched together, there may be a case where the user clamps the terminal body using the thumb and index finger. For example, the function may include activation or deactivation of the display unit 151 or the touch pad 135.

The proximity sensor described as an example of the sensing unit 140 with reference to FIG. 1 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4.

4 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a proximity depth of a proximity sensor.

As shown in FIG. 4, when a pointer such as a user's finger is close to the touch screen, the proximity sensor disposed in or near the touch screen detects this and outputs a proximity signal.

The proximity sensor may be configured to output different proximity signals according to a distance between the proximity touched pointer and the touch screen (hereinafter, referred to as "proximity depth").

The distance at which the proximity signal is output when the pointer approaches the touch screen is referred to as a detection distance. When the proximity signal output from each proximity sensor is compared by using a plurality of proximity sensors having different detection distances, the proximity is measured. I can know the depth.

In FIG. 4, for example, a cross section of a touch screen on which three proximity sensors capable of sensing three proximity depths is disposed is illustrated. Of course, proximity sensors that detect less than three or more than four proximity depths are also possible.

Specifically, when the pointer is completely in contact with the touch screen (d ₀ ), it is recognized as a touch touch. When the pointer is positioned below the distance d ₁ on the touch screen, the pointer is recognized as a proximity touch of a first proximity depth. When the pointer is spaced apart from the distance d ₁ or more and less than d ₂ on the touch screen, the pointer is recognized as a proximity touch of a second proximity depth. When the pointer is spaced apart from the distance d ₂ or more and less than d ₃ on the touch screen, the pointer is recognized as a proximity touch of a third proximity depth. In addition, when the pointer is spaced apart from the distance d ₃ or more on the touch screen, it is recognized that the proximity touch is released.

Accordingly, the controller 180 can recognize the proximity touch as various input signals according to the proximity and proximity positions of the pointer to the touch screen, and perform various operation controls according to the various input signals.

The application message header 721 and the application message payload 723 are included in the message service payload 713 and transmitted. The message created by the application is included in the application message payload 723 area. That is, information about data requested to the other terminal is included in the application message payload 723 and transmitted. In addition, the application message header 721 information including the application identifier 731 representing the application identification information may be configured to be included in the message service payload 723 by driving the application program. have.

The message service processor 630 may determine the purpose of the received message service from the configuration of data included in the message service payload 713. That is, when the application message header 721 and the application message payload 723 are included in the message service payload 713 area, the received message is provided to the application processor 610. do. The message service processor 630 grasps an attribute of the application message header 721 included in the message service payload 713 and transfers the received message to the application program processor 610. Accordingly, the application program processor 610 acquires data included in the application message payload 723 and processes it.

As described above, according to the exemplary embodiment, a message for requesting to provide data to another terminal may be created by driving an application program in the mobile terminal 600. The request message may be provided to another terminal through a message service, and the other terminal may also provide the requested data from the mobile terminal 600 using the message service. Therefore, according to the embodiment, the mobile terminal 600 and the other terminal can exchange data with each other by using a message service, and an application program can process the received data and provide a useful result.

Next, an example of driving an application program will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8. 8 is a diagram illustrating a data transmission method using a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment.

First, an application program is driven in the application program processor 610 of the mobile terminal 600 and a message for requesting data provision to another terminal is created (S801).

As an example, the data requested to the other terminal through the message may be location information of another terminal. In addition, the data requested to the other terminal through the message may be time information arriving in the region where the other terminal is set or time information leaving the set region. The data requested to the other terminal through the message may be time information of staying in the region where the other terminal is set.

The set area may be set in the mobile terminal 600 in which a message is written to request the provision of data to the other terminal. For example, the set area may be set by selecting a specific point on a map displayed on the display unit 640 of the mobile terminal 600. The specific point may be, for example, a place such as home, school, work, school, or the like.

The set area may be set to an area located within a predetermined radius from a specific point selected on the map. For example, the predetermined radius may be set to 20m, 50m, 100m, etc., and the radius may be variously changed and set as necessary.

The specific point may be set by searching for a corresponding address through input of address information. In addition, the specific point may be set through a name search input. In addition, the specific point may be set by inputting longitude coordinates and latitude coordinates.

When the mobile terminal 600 provides a touch screen function, a specific point may be selected by clicking an object on the map displayed on the display unit 640. That is, a specific point may be selected by touching a desired point on the map displayed on the display unit 640 provided with the touch screen function. In this case, two points may be selected and a rectangular area defined by the two points may be set as a specific area. At this time, the two points are the two corner points in the diagonal direction forming the rectangular area. In addition, a specific region may be selected by dragging on the map displayed on the display unit 640.

The data requested by the other terminal through the message may further include not only location information of the other terminal, but also time information of the other terminal located at the corresponding location. In addition, the specific place may be set in plural.

Next, the created message is sent to the other terminal using a message service (S802).

One or more terminals may be selected as the other terminal. The other terminal may be directly selected by a user by inputting an identification number of another terminal, and may be selected by referring to data stored in the mobile terminal 600 such as an address book.

As described with reference to FIG. 7, the application message header 721 and the application message payload 723 are included in the message service payload 713 and transmitted. The message created by the application is included in the application message payload 723 area. That is, a message for requesting location information or time information of another terminal is included in the application message payload 723 and transmitted. In addition, the application message header 721 information including the application identifier 731 indicating application program identification information may be configured by the application program.

In this process, the application program executable file may be attached to the other terminal through the message service, or link information for downloading the application program executable file may be provided.

This is because, when the corresponding application program is not installed in the other terminal, the attribute of the message included in the message service transmitted from the mobile terminal 600 cannot be determined. When the corresponding application program is not installed in the other terminal, the description of the transmitted application program may be implemented to be displayed on the other terminal. Accordingly, the user of the other terminal can determine the usefulness of the application and determine whether to install it. The user can download and install the application by using the attached file or by referring to the link information. In addition, by providing user information of the mobile terminal 600 requesting data provision, it may help the other terminal user to determine whether to install an application program.

If the user of the other terminal approves data provision, the other terminal provides the requested data to the mobile terminal 600 through a message service. The data may be input from a user through driving of the application program. In addition, when the user has been approved in advance, data may be automatically extracted from the other terminal and a message may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 600.

Accordingly, the message including the data provided from the other terminal is received by the mobile terminal 600 through the message service (S803).

The message service processor 630 of the mobile terminal 600 may determine the purpose of the received message service from the configuration of data included in the message service payload 713. That is, when the application message header 721 and the application message payload 723 are included in the message service payload 713 area, the received message is provided to the application processor 610. do. Accordingly, the application program processor 610 may acquire data included in the application message payload 723.

As a result, the application program processor 610 processes the data provided from the other terminal by driving the corresponding application program corresponding to the received data attribute (S804).

In this case, location information of the other terminal provided from the other terminal through the message service may be displayed on the display unit 640 together with a map. In addition, location information of the other terminal and time information such as arrival time, dwell time, and departure time, which are provided from the other terminal through the message service, are transmitted at set time intervals to be displayed on the display unit 640 together with a map. Can be. Alternatively, when data transmission is requested every time a plurality of places are moved, data may be transmitted according to whether or not the place is changed, instead of being transmitted on a time basis. It can also be sent in consideration of both time and place. For example, if there is no place change for 2 hours, the current location information can be set to be transmitted.

For example, when a parent uses the mobile terminal 600 and the child uses the other terminal, the parent can grasp the child's time zone location information based on the location information and time information provided from the other terminal of the child. .

If the parent wants to know the location information for each child's time zone, the parent may send a message requesting the location information at a predetermined time interval to the other terminal of the child through the mobile terminal 600. At this time, the parent may operate the mobile terminal 600 to send a message at regular time intervals. In addition, the parent may set the sending time interval in advance, the message may be automatically sent according to the time interval set in the mobile terminal 600. In addition, when the mobile terminal 600 first requests data from the other terminal, the mobile terminal 600 may be configured to automatically provide data according to the time interval set by the other terminal by setting and requesting a time interval for providing data. It may be.

In this way, the parent can grasp the child's time zone location information through the message service between the terminals. At this time, as the data is extracted at regular time intervals, the movement direction and movement speed of the child may be calculated for each time zone, and the position information and movement speed of the child may be provided for each time zone. Location information and moving speed of each child may be calculated and provided by another child of the child, or may be calculated and provided by the mobile terminal 600 of the parent.

The data provided from the other terminal may be stored in the mobile terminal 600, and the parent may check the location information of the child at any time as well as the time at which the data is provided from the other terminal of the child. That is, the parent may check data of a predetermined time period or all data from the accumulated data stored in the mobile terminal 600.

When the parent wants to check whether the child arrives at a specific area, the parent provides setting information about the specific area to the other terminal of the child through the mobile terminal 600, and the time information that arrives at the corresponding area and the departure time information. You can request data. Accordingly, the other terminal of the child may extract the time information and the departure time information arriving in the specific area, and may provide data to the mobile terminal 600 through a message service. In addition, the other terminal may provide the mobile terminal 600 with a residence time of the child in the specific region from the information on the arrival time and the departure time. Meanwhile, the residence time of the child in the specific region may be calculated by the mobile terminal 600 itself. This may be performed by referring to arrival time information and departure time information provided from the other terminal. The specific area may be set in plural. As described above, when a plurality of specific regions are set, the other terminal may be implemented to provide data regarding arrival times, departure times, and residence times for the plurality of specific regions.
