1 is a conceptual diagram illustrating functions of a computer system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the following description, the term " standby mode " means a mode in which power is supplied to the display unit 160 in the computer system 100 in an operable state, and the display unit 160 is in the security release state. In this case, the main menu is displayed on the display unit 160 of the computer system 100, and the programs stored in the computer system 100 are executed according to the user's input through the main menu. The " program execution mode " means a mode in which a specific program is being executed.

The present invention provides a computer system and a control method thereof, which, when a specific touch pattern 110 is input from a user in a standby mode or a program execution mode, executes a predetermined program corresponding thereto.

The computer system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can generate and register mapping information that maps a specific touch pattern 110 and a corresponding preset program when the user inputs a specific touch pattern 110 .

After the mapping information is registered, the operation of the computer system 100 in the standby mode or the program execution mode according to an embodiment of the present invention can be controlled as follows.

When the computer system 100 receives a specific touch pattern 110 from the user in the standby mode, the computer system 100 can execute the program set in accordance with the registered mapping information and enter the program execution mode. Then, the computer system 100 can display a program to be executed on the display unit 160. [

In addition, when the computer system 100 receives a specific touch pattern 110 from the user in the program execution mode, the computer system 100 can execute the program set in accordance with the registered mapping information and maintain the program execution mode. Then, the computer system 100 can display a program to be executed on the display unit 160. [

Accordingly, the user can use the executed program displayed on the computer system 100 via the display unit 160. [ As described above, in the standby mode or the program execution mode, the user can directly access and use the desired program with only the specific touch pattern 110 input.

Hereinafter, a computer system and a control method thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

2 is a control block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a computer system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2, a computer system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include an input unit 120, a storage unit 140, a display unit 160, and a controller 180.

Computer system 100 may correspond to a personal computer system such as a desktop, laptop, tablet, or handheld computer. Also, the computer system 100 may be a mobile phone, a wired / wireless telephone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart phone, a DMB terminal, a tablet PC, (General Packet Radio System) terminal and a 3G terminal such as an International Mobile Telecommunication 2000 (IMT-2000) terminal using a WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) technology, a Universal Mobile Telecommunication Service A multimedia device, and an application thereof.

The input unit 120 is connected to the controller 180 and operates to receive a touch pattern 110 from a user.

The input unit 120 is configured to transfer data from the outside world into the computer system 100. For example, the input unit 120 may be used to perform a search and to make a selection with respect to the GUI 170 on the display unit 160.

In addition, input 120 may be used to issue commands in computer system 100. The input unit 120 may include a touch sensing device configured to receive an input from a user's touch and transmit the information to the control unit 180. [ For example, the touch sensing device may correspond to a touch pad or a touch screen.

The touch sensing device can recognize not only the touch but also the position and size of the touch on the touch sensing surface. The touch sensing apparatus reports this touch to the control section 180, and the control section 180 interprets this touch according to its programming. For example, the control unit 180 may start a job according to a specific touch. A dedicated processor may be used to process the touch locally and reduce the need for the main processor of computer system 100. [

The touch sensing device may be based on sensing techniques including, but not limited to capacitive sensing, resistive sensing, surface acoustic wave sensing, pressure sensing, optical sensing, and / or the like. In addition, the touch sensing means may be based on single point sensing or multipoint sensing. Single point sensing can distinguish only a single touch while multi-point sensing can distinguish multiple touches that occur at the same time.

The input unit 120 may be a touch screen disposed on or in front of the display unit 160. The touch screen may be integral with display portion 160 or may be a separate component.

The touch screen has several advantages over other input technologies such as touchpad, mouse, and the like. As an advantage, the touch screen is disposed in front of the display unit 160, so that the user can operate the GUI 170 directly. For example, a user may simply place his finger on an object to be controlled. On the touchpad, there is no one-to-one relationship like this. In the touchpad, the touchpad is generally placed in a different plane away from the display. For example, the display is generally located in a vertical plane, and the touchpad is generally located in a horizontal plane. This makes his use less intuitive and therefore more difficult when compared to the touch screen.

In addition to being a touch screen, the input unit 120 may be a multipoint input device. Multipoint input devices have advantages over conventional single point devices in that they can distinguish two or more objects (fingers). A single point device can not distinguish a large number of objects at all.

The touch pattern 110 may be a continuous touch pattern or a discontinuous touch pattern received from a user. The continuous touch pattern refers to a touch pattern that is input continuously without being separated from the input unit 120, when the user's hand or stylus touches the input unit 120 to start inputting the pattern. The discontinuous touch pattern refers to a touch pattern that is input from the input unit 120 at least one time when the user's hand or stylus starts touching the input unit 120 and starts inputting the pattern.

The storage unit 140 typically provides a location for storing computer code and data used by the computer system 100. By way of example, storage 140 may include read only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), hard disk drive, and / or the like. The information also resides on a removable storage medium and can be loaded or installed on the computer system 100 when needed. The removable storage medium includes, for example, a CD-ROM, a PC-CARD, a memory card, a floppy disk, a magnetic tape, and a network component.

The storage unit 140 is composed of a program memory and data memories. The program memory may store a system function program that performs system functions of the computer system 100 and application programs that perform an application that is driven by input through the input unit 120. [

The system function program may be a program that performs processing close to the program or hardware provided by the manufacturer in order to enable the user to operate the computer system 100. [ The system function program can include a program for backward function, vibration mode on / off function, Wifi on / off function, automatic turn on / off function and GPS on / off function.

In addition, the application program may be an application program installed in advance in the computer system 100 or installed by a user, and may include a program created by a user or experts to solve a specific problem. The application program may include a music playback program, a schedule management program, a chat program, a memo program, a game program, a schedule management program, a video playback program, a web browsing program, and the like.

The data memory stores data used or generated during execution of the above-described programs. In particular, the storage unit 140 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may store a touch pattern 110 received from a user. Also, the storage unit 140 according to the embodiment of the present invention may further store the mapping information. The mapping information is information that maps the touch pattern 110 input by the user and the program selected by the user.

The display unit 160 is connected to the controller 180 and operates to visually output data.

The display unit 160 may be a liquid crystal display (LCD) (e.g., an active matrix, a passive matrix, etc.). The display unit 160 may be a display unit such as a monochrome display, a color graphics adapter (CGA) display, an enhanced graphics adapter (EGA) display, a variable-graphics-array (VGA) display, a super VGA display, a cathode ray tube Monitor. Further, the display unit 160 may correspond to a display implemented by a plasma display or an electronic link.

Display 160 is configured to display a graphical user interface (GUI) 170 that provides an easy-to-use interface between a user of computer system 100 and an application running on the operating system or operating system. Generally speaking, the GUI 170 represents graphical images of programs, files, and operating options. A graphical image may include a window, a field, a dialog, a menu, an icon, a button, a cursor, a scroll bar, and so on. This image can be arranged in a predefined layout, or it can be dynamically created to help the user take the specific action taken.

A user may select and activate an image to initiate functions and tasks associated with various graphical images. By way of example, the user can select a button to open, close, minimize, or maximize a window, or an icon to activate a particular program. The GUI 170 may display information such as non-interactive text and graphics on the display unit 160 for the user.

The control unit 180 controls the overall operation of the computer system 100 and receives a touch pattern 110 from a user through the input unit 120 and displays a program corresponding to the touch pattern 110 on the display unit 160 ). ≪ / RTI > That is, the instructions retrieved from the storage unit 140 may be used to control the reception and processing of input and output data between the components of the computer system 100. The control unit 180 may be implemented on a single chip, multiple chips, or multiple electrical components. A variety of architectures can be used, including, for example, dedicated or embedded processors, single-purpose processors, controllers, ASICs, and the like.

In most cases, the control unit 180 is responsible for executing the computer code with the operating system and generating and using the data. The operating system is generally known and will not be described in more detail. For example, the operating system can handle OS / 2, DOS, Unix, Linux, Palm OS, and so on. The operating system may also be a special purpose operating system, such as may be used for a limited purpose instrumented computing device. The operating system, other computer code, and data may reside in the storage unit 140 that operates in conjunction with the control unit 180.

The control unit 180 receives a program corresponding to the touch pattern 110 and the touch pattern 110 from the user in the step of storing the touch pattern 110, 110) and the program corresponding to the touch pattern. The control unit 180 may store the touch pattern 110 and the mapping information in the storage unit 140.

The controller 180 can generate a thumbnail for the touch pattern 110 by receiving the touch pattern 110 from the user in the step of storing the touch pattern 110. [

In addition, the controller 180 may display the program and the thumbnail so that the generated thumbnail corresponds to the program.

The control unit 180 searches for a touch pattern corresponding to the touch pattern 110 input from the user among the touch patterns stored in the storage unit 140, The program corresponding to the touch pattern 110 can be executed by using the display unit 160. [

When the controller 180 executes the program corresponding to the touch pattern 110, the controller 180 corresponds to the touch pattern 110 that receives the standby mode screen displayed on the display unit 160 or the program screen currently being executed To the program screen.

3 is a flow chart schematically illustrating a method for controlling a computer system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, a method for controlling the operation of the computer system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention starts from the step 210 of registering the touch pattern 110 by the computer system 100. The computer system 100 then performs a standby mode or a program execution mode (220).

If the computer system 100 does not receive any touch patterns 110 through the input unit 120 in the standby mode or the program execution mode ("NO" in step 230), the computer system 100 proceeds to step 220, Mode or program execution mode.

On the contrary, when the computer system 100 receives the touch pattern 110 through the input unit 120 in the standby mode or the program execution mode (Yes in step 230), the computer system 100 transmits the touch pattern 110 And retrieves the touch pattern stored in the storage unit 140 (240).

Then, the computer system 100 determines whether the input touch pattern 110 is the same as the touch pattern stored in the storage unit 140. Here, the computer system 100 can determine the same touch pattern if the input touch pattern 110 is not exactly the same as the touch pattern stored in the storage unit 140, if the touch pattern 110 has the same identity.

If the input touch pattern 110 is not the same as the touch pattern stored in the storage unit 140 (No in step 250), the computer system 100 proceeds to step 220 to maintain the standby mode or the program execution mode .

On the contrary, if the input touch pattern 110 is the same as the touch pattern stored in the storage unit 140 (Yes in step 250), the computer system 100 uses the display program to set the program according to the mapping information of the touch pattern (260).

Then, the computer system 100 switches to the program screen set in accordance with the mapping information of the touch pattern 110, which is currently input to the standby mode screen or the program execution mode screen displayed on the display unit 160. [

4 is a flowchart schematically illustrating an operation of registering a touch pattern in a computer system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the computer system 100 may display the main menu list using the display unit 160 (211). The computer system 100 may then display the main menu list and wait for the user to select the main menu. The main menu list may include a system function menu and an application menu.

If the computer system 100 does not select the main menu from the user (No in step 212), the computer system 100 may proceed to step 211 and wait for the user to select the main menu 212 ).

Conversely, when the computer system 100 selects the main menu from the user (YES in step 212), the computer system 100 displays the submenu list for the selected main menu (213).

The computer system 100 may then display a submenu list and wait to receive a submenu from the user. The submenu list is a submenu list of each main menu list.

For example, the submenus of the System Functions menu can include screenshots, backslash, vibration mode (on / off), Wifi (on / off), auto rotation (on / off) and GPS . In addition, the submenu of the system function menu is not limited to this, and may include anything capable of controlling the system function of the computer system 100.

The submenu of the application menu may include a music playback program, a schedule management program, a chat program, a memo program, a game program, a schedule management program, a video playback program, a web browsing program, and the like. The submenu of the application menu is not limited to this, and may include all applications installed in advance in the computer system 100 or installed by the user.

If the computer system 100 does not select a sub-menu from the user (No in step 214), the computer system 100 may proceed to step 213 to display the sub-menu list for the selected main menu. The computer system 100 may then display the submenu list and wait 214 to receive a submenu from the user.

Conversely, if the computer system 100 receives a sub menu from the user (Yes in step 214), the computer system 100 proceeds to step 215 to display the touch pattern input screen (step 215).

The touch pattern input screen is a screen for receiving a touch pattern 110 from a user.

Then, the computer system 100 determines whether the input of the touch pattern 110 is completed. If the input of the touch pattern 110 is not completed (" NO & The process proceeds to step 215, where the user can continuously receive the touch pattern 110 from the user (step 216).

There are two methods for determining whether the input of the touch pattern 110 has been completed by the computer system 100. The first method receives the touch pattern 110 for a predetermined time and determines that the input of the touch pattern 110 is completed when a predetermined time elapses. In the second method, when the user's hand or stylus touches the touch screen and starts to input a pattern and is separated from the touch screen, it is determined that the input of the touch pattern 110 is completed.
