Referring to FIG. 1, first, a sound generated as a user input means passes a patterned uneven member is detected (S110). In one embodiment of the present invention, the concave-convex member is a member having a concave-convex structure, and may be a member having a protrusion or depression alone, or a combination of the protrusion and the depression. That is, in the present specification, the concave-convex member may not necessarily have a concave portion and a concave portion, but may have a case having at least one of concave portions or concave portions.

Then, the information according to the detected sound pattern is recognized (S120). In particular, the pattern of the sound according to the present invention is determined according to the pattern of the uneven member, which will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present invention, the sound generated as the user input means scratches the uneven portion is preferably such that the high frequency to come out to distinguish from the external noise, and further filtering process may be added to distinguish from the external noise.

2 to 4 are diagrams illustrating a sound pattern according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, at least one protrusion 220 is provided on the substrate 210, and the protrusion 220 may have a gap between protrusions and a width of the protrusion itself. Alternatively, concave portions may be formed on the substrate 210, and structures having height differences of at least a certain level may be the concave-convex members according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, a sound is generated as the user input means (the human finger in FIG. 3) passes through the protrusion 220 which is the uneven member. That is, when the user input means is pressed through the protruding portion 220 while pressurizing the user with a constant force, sound is generated as the protruding portions 220 are passed, and the pattern of sound (for example, interval) (For example, an interval) of the projecting portion 220 corresponding to the concave and convex member corresponding to the concave / convex pattern.

Referring to FIG. 4, the pattern of the protrusion 220 and the sound pattern for determining information over the user input means may be determined according to at least one of the strength, interval, and duration of the sound.

The present invention further provides a so-called user terminal based information delivery method, which transmits information through a user terminal such as a cellular phone, from a pattern of sound generated from a user scratch gesture on an uneven member.

According to the present invention, information to be delivered by the user terminal is determined according to the sound pattern analyzed as described above, wherein the information is determined according to a correspondence relationship between a preset sound pattern and the information, and the preset sound pattern; The correspondence between the information may be stored in advance in the memory unit of the user terminal. For example, according to a sound pattern generated when the user terminal scratches the uneven member provided in a specific space or location, information determination and transmission are possible from the sound pattern, such as the position information of the user terminal is determined.

The present invention further provides an uneven member that facilitates information transfer according to the sound pattern.

Referring to FIG. 6, it can be seen that the uneven member 310 according to the present invention has a pattern in which a gap is narrowed toward the right side. When the user input means is advanced (scratch) from the left side to the right side of the convexo-concave member 310, the pattern of the detected sound also narrows in the interval (difference). That is, if the moving speed of the user input means is the same, the interval between the plurality of detected sounds is determined only by the distance between the actual protrusions, so that various information can be transmitted according to the change of the interval.

In addition, the uneven band for information transmission according to Figure 6 has a separate tagging region at both ends of the band, the tagging region has a unique intaglio or embossed pattern. That is, the user terminal receives the start information indicating that the scratch-based terminal information transmission according to the present invention starts from the sound generated as the user scratches the tagging region and the pattern, and then the sound pattern (for example, narrowing) Information is transmitted through the user terminal according to a change in interval such as a sound interval.
