Various embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an apparatus for providing a user-defined touch input pattern according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 1, the touch input apparatus 100 includes an input unit 110 and a processing unit 120. The touch input device 100 refers to a device for recognizing a touch input pattern based on a received user touch input pattern and for executing an event corresponding to the user touch input pattern. The touch input device 100 may be an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a smart phone, a notebook computer, a digital broadcast terminal, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants), a PMP .

The input unit 110 is for receiving a user touch input pattern, and may be a touch screen capable of receiving input through a touch sensor. The touch screen, which is the input unit 110, can receive a touch input pattern through a resistance film type, a capacitive type, an infrared type, an ultrasonic type, and various other touch input methods. The input unit 110 may operate as a display unit for displaying an image or an image through the touch screen.

The processing unit 120 includes at least a microprocessor, and defines an event corresponding to the touch input pattern, and executes a corresponding event when the received user touch input pattern is defined. Each step performed by the processing unit 120 or the result of each event executed may be stored in the storage unit. The storage unit may be included in the processing unit 120 or may be a device included in the touch input device 100 separately from the processing unit 120. In this case,

A method of providing a user-defined touch input pattern on the touch input device will be described later in detail with reference to FIG.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing a user-defined touch input pattern according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, first, an event corresponding to a touch input pattern is defined (S10).

The touch input pattern refers to various types of touch inputs that can be received through the receiver. The touch input pattern may include a tap for inputting a touch such as a finger or a stylus pen such that the input means touches the input portion lightly, a long tap for maintaining a tap state for a predetermined time or longer, A double tap for inputting two tabs continuously in a time period, and a drag for changing the coordinates of the input means to another position while the input is maintained. The touch input pattern corresponding to the drag may include a pattern in various directions such as a touch input for dragging in one direction and a touch input for dragging in a direction while holding the touch input after dragging in one direction .

The touch input pattern includes a first set pattern or a user defined pattern. The first set pattern means a touch input pattern already defined in the first implementation step, and the user defined pattern means a touch input pattern newly defined by addition of a user although it is not defined at the initial implementation stage. If an additional touch input pattern other than the touch input pattern defined in the initial implementation step is desired to be used, the user can add a user defined pattern.

An event refers to various processes that can be executed in the processing unit. Events may include various processes that can be performed in the processing unit such as application switching, application shutdown, screen scrolling, screen zooming, screen scaling, setting mode activation, activation of receive restriction mode,

Defining an event corresponding to a touch input pattern means setting an event to be executed when a touch input pattern corresponding to an event is received and sets an event by mapping or matching events corresponding to each touch input pattern . For example, an event can be defined by mapping an event that switches a running application to a double-taped touch input pattern.

The touch input device 100 may have various modes related to the operation of the touch input device 100. [ The touch input device 100 may be a general mode in which general operations such as application execution, telephone call and the like are performed, a touch input pattern type selection and an event corresponding to each touch input pattern, And may have a set mode in which various operations are performed to provide a user-defined touch input pattern on the device 100. The operation of defining an event corresponding to each of the touch input patterns can be performed in a state in which the setting mode is activated but is not limited to being performed in a state in which the setting mode is activated, Etc. < / RTI > Activating a specific mode in this specification means switching the currently executing mode to a specific mode. For example, if the currently running mode is the normal mode, the normal mode is switched to the setting mode when the setting mode is activated.

The touch input device 100 may have a reception restriction mode. The reception limiting mode means a state in which the input unit 110 does not receive the user touch input pattern until an input for releasing the reception limiting mode is received. By activating the reception limiting mode, unintended event occurrence can be prevented. The reception limiting mode may be one of a plurality of events.

An event corresponding to the touch input pattern can be defined, and a touch input pattern group can be generated. The touch input pattern group means a group in which at least one touch input pattern and an event corresponding to each touch input pattern are defined. The touch input pattern group is generated for managing the touch input pattern in units of groups. For example, the user can input a touch input pattern to be used in a specific situation and an event corresponding to the touch input pattern in one touch input pattern group Can be generated. For example, an event for switching between running applications is matched with a touch input pattern as a double tap, an event corresponding to a touch input pattern and a touch input pattern in which a screen enlargement event is matched with a touch input pattern as a long tap, A touch input pattern group can be generated.

The generation of the touch input pattern group may include independently defining an event corresponding to the touch input pattern included in each of the touch input pattern groups for each of the touch input pattern groups. The event corresponding to the touch input pattern is independently defined for each touch input pattern group. That is, the touch input patterns included in the first touch input pattern group and the touch input patterns included in the second touch input pattern group are the same, The event corresponding to the touch input pattern included in the first touch input pattern group and the event corresponding to the touch input pattern included in the second touch input pattern group may be different. For example, the touch input pattern included in the first touch input pattern group and the touch input pattern included in the second touch input pattern group are the same as the touch input pattern called the long tap. In the first touch input pattern group, The corresponding event is the screen enlargement, whereas in the second touch input pattern group, the event corresponding to the long tab may be the screen reduction.

The generation of the touch input pattern group may include independently setting the use of the touch input pattern included in each of the touch input pattern groups for each of the touch input patterns. Whether or not the touch input pattern is used means to set whether or not to execute an event corresponding to the touch input pattern when the corresponding touch input pattern is received in a situation where an event corresponding to one touch input pattern is defined. For example, when the touch input pattern is set to be used, when the touch input pattern is received, an event corresponding to the corresponding touch input pattern is executed. If the touch input pattern is set not to be used, The event corresponding to the touch input pattern is not executed.

The independent use of the touch input pattern of each touch input pattern group means that the touch input pattern included in the first touch input pattern group and the touch input pattern included in the second touch input pattern group are the same, The event corresponding to the touch input pattern included in the first touch input pattern group and the event corresponding to the touch input pattern included in the second touch input pattern group are also the same, The use of the touch input pattern and whether the touch input pattern included in the second touch input pattern group is used may be different. For example, the touch input pattern included in the first touch input pattern group and the touch input pattern included in the second touch input pattern group are the same as the double tap, and correspond to the touch input pattern included in the first touch input pattern group And the event corresponding to the touch input pattern included in the second touch input pattern group is also the same as the screen enlargement but the double tap is used in the first touch input pattern group, Can be disabled. In this case, when the first touch input pattern group is activated and the double tap is received, the screen enlargement event is executed. However, when the double tap is received while the second touch input pattern group is activated, the screen enlargement event is not executed Do not.

Each of the touch input pattern groups can be mapped to an application. Each of the touch input pattern groups is mapped to the application, which means defining a touch input group to be activated and used during execution of a specific application. For example, the first touch input pattern group may be mapped to application A, which is a music application, the second touch input pattern group may be mapped to application B, which is a game application, and the touch input pattern group may be mapped When the first touch input pattern group is activated and the touch input pattern included in the first touch input pattern group is received when the application A is executed, an event corresponding to the corresponding touch input pattern is executed. When the application B is executed When the second touch input pattern group is activated and a touch input pattern included in the second touch input pattern group is received, an event corresponding to the corresponding touch input pattern may be executed.

Then, the user's touch input pattern is received from the user (S11).

The user touch input pattern refers to a touch input pattern that the user actually inputs through the input unit 110 and may be any one of various types of touch input patterns as described above. The user touch input pattern can be received by detecting the movement of the input means through input 110.

When an event corresponding to the received user touch input pattern is defined, an event corresponding to the received touch input pattern is executed (S12).

The event corresponding to the received touch input pattern is executed when, for example, an event corresponding to the touch input pattern of the long tap is defined as a screen enlargement event and a long tap is received as the user touch input pattern, The enlargement event is executed.
