Representative sensors among various sensors that may be included in the sensing unit 140 will be described in more detail.

First, the proximity sensor 141 refers to a sensor that detects the presence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface, or the presence of an object in the vicinity of the detection surface, without mechanical contact by using electromagnetic force or infrared rays. The proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in the inner area of the mobile terminal or in proximity to the touch screen, which is covered by the touch screen.

Examples of the proximity sensor 141 include a transmission type photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection type photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection type photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation type proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor. In the case where the touch screen is electrostatic, the proximity sensor 141 can be configured to detect the proximity of the object with a change of the electric field along the proximity of the object having conductivity. In this case, the touch screen (or touch sensor) itself may be classified as a proximity sensor.

On the other hand, for convenience of explanation, the act of recognizing that the object is located on the touch screen in proximity with no object touching the touch screen is referred to as "proximity touch & The act of actually touching an object on the screen is called a "contact touch. &Quot; The position at which the object is closely touched on the touch screen means a position where the object corresponds to the touch screen vertically when the object is touched. The proximity sensor 141 can detect a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (e.g., a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, have. Meanwhile, the control unit 180 processes data (or information) corresponding to the proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern sensed through the proximity sensor 141 as described above, and further provides visual information corresponding to the processed data It can be output on the touch screen. Furthermore, the control unit 180 can control the mobile terminal 100 such that different operations or data (or information) are processed according to whether the touch to the same point on the touch screen is a proximity touch or a touch touch .

The touch sensor senses a touch (or touch input) applied to the touch screen (or the display unit 151) by using at least one of various touch methods such as a resistance film type, a capacitive type, an infrared type, an ultrasonic type, do.

The touch sensor may be configured to detect a position, an area, a pressure at the time of touch, a capacitance at the time of touch, and the like where a touch object touching the touch screen is touched on the touch sensor. Here, the touch object may be a finger, a touch pen, a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like as an object to which a touch is applied to the touch sensor.

Thus, when 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 transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. Thus, the control unit 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched or the like. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component from the control unit 180, and may be the control unit 180 itself.

On the other hand, the control unit 180 may perform different controls or perform the same control according to the type of the touch object touching the touch screen (or a touch key provided on the touch screen). Whether to perform different controls or to perform the same control according to the type of the touch object may be determined according to the current state of the mobile terminal 100 or an application program being executed.

Touch can be sensed.

The ultrasonic sensor can recognize the position information of the object to be sensed by using ultrasonic waves. Meanwhile, the controller 180 can calculate the position of the wave generating source through the information sensed by the optical sensor and the plurality of ultrasonic sensors. The position of the wave source can be calculated using the fact that the light is much faster than the ultrasonic wave, that is, the time when the light reaches the optical sensor is much faster than the time the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. More specifically, the position of the wave generating source can be calculated using the time difference with the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the reference signal.

The camera 121 includes at least one of a camera sensor (for example, a CCD, a CMOS, etc.), a photo sensor (or an image sensor), and a laser sensor.

The camera 121 and the laser sensor may be combined with each other to sense a touch of the sensing object with respect to the three-dimensional stereoscopic image. The photosensor can be laminated to the display element, which is adapted to scan the movement of the object to be detected proximate to the touch screen. More specifically, the photosensor mounts photo diodes and TRs (Transistors) in a row / column and scans the contents loaded on the photosensor using an electrical signal that varies according to the amount of light applied to the photo diode. That is, the photo sensor performs coordinate calculation of the object to be sensed according to the amount of change of light, and position information of the object to be sensed can be obtained through the calculation.

Hereinafter, embodiments related to a control method that can be implemented in a mobile terminal configured as above will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof.

The present invention proposes a method of emotionally displaying conversation contents, background screen, and attached contents (image, audio, video) when conversation contents are moved and switched according to a message history.

The present invention is an example of an emotional message display method. When a predetermined message is selected from the message list of the conversation, the message is switched to the conversation view mode, and the contents attached to the message (conversation contents) are automatically displayed in the conversation window . The attached content is displayed on the message content.

FIG. 3 is an embodiment for automatically displaying the attached content when a message is selected.

3, when the user selects a message previously exchanged with a predetermined user (eg, joanne Holly), the control unit 180 displays the content of the conversation in the message window 50, (51) That is, the image is automatically searched and displayed on the dialog bubble. The image is a thumbnail image. The message is stored in a storage unit (memory) in the storage unit 160 and displayed on the display unit 151.

The present invention is one example of an emotional message display method. When attached contents are selected in a message window, the contents are enlarged and displayed and an attached file history can be displayed in a predetermined area. In the attached file history, the entire attached file is displayed in the form of a thumbnail in chronological order, and displayed in a different area (top or bottom) than the enlarged contents.

FIG. 4 is an embodiment for displaying content enlargement and attachment history when selecting attached content.

4, when a user selects an image attached to a specific dialog bubble (content) in a message window, the control unit 180 switches from an interactive view mode to an attached file view mode, And displays the entire attached file history in a thumbnail form in the attached file area 52 at the lower end of the screen. The thumbnail of the currently enlarged image displayed in the attachment area 52 is highlighted and displayed.

In this state, when the user presses the message icon or the enlarged image is dragged from top to bottom, the dialog content is displayed in an overlay form on the enlarged image. Particularly, the conversation contents displayed in the form of the overlay can be defined as conversation contents before and after the time when the attached file is transmitted.

Also, the size of the image can be changed when the image is dragged, and the size of the image can be determined by the degree of drag (e.g., distance), as shown in the thick block arrow.

As an example of the emotional message display method, the background image may be automatically changed or the image or music may be automatically reproduced according to the type of the attached file when the message is moved in the attached file view.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart for automatically changing a background screen or reproducing contents according to a type of contents attached to a message when moving a message, and FIGS. 6A and 6B are detailed embodiments of FIG.

The user can jump in the conversation by flicking the screen in the attachment view, moving the conversation, or selecting another thumbnail in the attachment history.

When the user flickes the screen in a predetermined direction (downward direction) to move the conversation bubble (S100), the controller 180 moves and checks whether content is attached to a new conversation bubble (content) displayed on the screen (S110) . If the content is attached to the new conversation bubble as a result of the check, the attached content is displayed in the conversation content (see FIG. 3), and the type of the attached content is confirmed (S120).

Accordingly, the control unit 180 automatically changes the background image to the corresponding content or plays the image or music according to the type of the attached content (S130). The operation is maintained while the user performs the movement of the conversation contents (S140).

The controller 180 automatically changes the background image to a content image when the new dialog bubble is moved close to the center of the screen by a predetermined distance. If the attached content is an image, the background image is the same as an image displayed in the dialog bubble. If the attached content is an image, the background image becomes a playback screen.

In addition, the controller 180 highlights the thumbnail corresponding to the content attached to the new dialog bubble in the attached file area 52 so as to be distinguished from other thumbnails.

6A shows a case where an image is attached to a dialogue bubble. When a new dialogue bubble 61 appears in the center of the screen by flicking in a state that one dialogue bubble 60 is displayed, .

6B shows a case where an image file is attached to the conversation bubble. When the new conversation bubble 61 is close to the screen, the control unit 180 automatically reproduces the attached image to change the background screen. In addition, when the music file 62 is attached to the conversation bubble, the control unit 180 automatically reproduces the music file.

Figs. 4, 6A and 6B are applied to the case where the user sequentially moves the conversation bubble up and down by flicking. However, the user can select a specific thumbnail in the attachment file area 52 and jump directly to another dialog bubble. Since the jump of the conversation bubble can be said to be the movement of the conversation bubble in a broad sense, the operation at the conversation bubble jump is the same as the operation described in the egg.

FIG. 7 illustrates an example of changing the background image or automatically reproducing the content according to the type of the attached content when the message content is jumped.

7, when the user selects another thumbnail in the attachment file area 52 in a state in which the specific dialog bubble is displayed, the control unit 180 displays the dialog bubble including the selected thumbnail on the center of the screen And displays the contents attached to the conversation bubble. Also, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the control unit 18 automatically changes the background image to the corresponding content, or reproduces the image or music according to the type of the content.

The operations described so far have been described by taking as an example the movement of the conversation bubble (conversation contents) mainly in the attachment file view. However, even when the user moves the conversation bubble in different conversation view and one conversation view, the same features are applied to the same.

Therefore, the present invention can automatically display the contents attached to the conversation bubble when moving between conversation views or in a single conversation view and during quick movement between conversation bubbles.

8A and 8B show an example of displaying the conversation contents and the attached contents when moving between conversation bubbles or conversation view.

As shown in FIG. 8A, when the user flickes the dialog bubble including the attached file left and right in the first dialog view, the control unit 180 switches to the second dialog view, And displays the contents of the conversation before and after receiving the attached file along with the retrieved conversation contents.

Accordingly, when the contents of the conversation including the attached file are dragged, the control unit 18 automatically searches for and displays the conversation contents including the same attachment file in the other conversation view, thereby determining which conversation was exchanged Make it easy to know.

FIG. 8B shows the attached contents included in the conversation contents when the user scrolls the conversation contents by dragging a bar in the conversation view, thereby allowing the user to easily find the conversation contents desired by the user.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an operation of changing a background screen when moving between conversation views, and FIGS. 10A and 10B are detailed embodiments thereof.

As shown in FIG. 9, the user can select and display a conversation view exchanged with a specific user. When the dialog view is displayed, the user can change the dialog theme by selecting the 'time machine' function.

When the dialog view is moved by the scroll or flicking operation with the time machine function being applied, the control unit 180 automatically changes the background image to the contents included in the plurality of dialog bubbles according to the dialog view movement. For example, if an image is attached to three conversation bubbles while the conversation view is moving, the background is changed three times. The movement of the conversation view includes both conversation bubble movement and conversation bubble movement within the conversation view, as described above.

10A is an example of changing the conversation theme, and FIG. 10B is an example of actively changing the background screen when moving between conversation views.

As shown in FIG. 10A, the user can select the 'time machine' function to change the dialogue theme for the background image. In this state, when the user flickes the screen up and down in the dialog view to move the dialog bubble, the controller 180 displays or plays the content attached to the dialog bubble to change the background image actively do. In addition, when the user flickes the screen left and right in the dialog view, the user moves to another dialog view, and if the content is attached to the dialog bubble displayed at the center of the moved dialog view, the background image is automatically changed with the corresponding content.

As an example of the emotional message display method, the present invention can show the attached contents as a preview when the message notification popup is switched.

FIG. 11 shows an example in which the attached content is previewed when the message notification pop-up is switched.

In general, when a new message is received, the controller 180 displays a message notification pop-up 70 at the top of the screen to notify the user that a new message has arrived. The user can switch the message notification pop-up 70 to another message notification pop-up 70 by flicking the message notification pop-up 70 left and right.

In the case of switching the message notification pop-up as described above, when the attached content is attached to a corresponding message, the received image is displayed as a background image, or an image or music file is reproduced to show the attached content as a preview, .

FIG. 12 shows an example of setting a background image of a message list of conversation.

As shown in FIG. 12, when a user selects a specific message list (e.g., Joanne Holly) from the conversation, a conversation bubble (conversation content) with an image attached thereto is displayed in the conversation view (dialogue window). When an attached image included in the conversation bubble is selected, the image is switched to an attached file view (window), and the corresponding image is enlarged and displayed, and all the attached files are displayed in the attached file area at the lower end.

In this state, if the user presses the 'Back key', it switches to the previous conversation view (dialog window), and if 'Back key' is pressed once more in the ideal state, the first conversation is displayed. At this time, the control unit 180 automatically displays the image that the user has recently viewed as the background image of the selected message list. Therefore, the user can easily check the attached file as well as the existence of the attached image in the corresponding message list.

13 is an example of changing a background screen as a web page in an embodiment of the present invention that actively changes the background screen.

As shown in Fig. 8B, the user can scroll the conversation bubble (dialogue content) up and down using the scroll bar in the dialogue view (dialogue window). At this time, if the URL is included in the specific dialog bubble, the control unit 180 changes the background screen with the web page preview corresponding to the URL.

FIG. 14 is an embodiment for retrieving information included in a message and storing it in a chat album to facilitate message retrieval.

The controller 180 analyzes the URL address, the music, the picture, the moving picture, and the main conversation contents included in the conversation bubble (contents) through the above-described various implementations, .

Thereafter, the controller 180 periodically checks the information stored in the chat album 80 to inform the user of the change. For example, when a time limit is imminent, information indicating a schedule / time, such as a coupon (e.g., movie coupon), is displayed on the chat album 80 or displayed on the idle screen. In addition, if the stored URL is the harmful site 81, the malicious site list can be displayed. If the user selects the URL, a message asking whether to execute the malicious site can be displayed.

In addition, the present invention can directly enter the attachment file window in the chat album 80. [ For example, when the user selects the URL "WWW.GOOGLE.COM" in the chat album 80, the chat content with the URL is displayed overlaid on the background image and the attachment file window is displayed. At this time, the attached file window also displays the contents of the conversation before and after the contents of the conversation with the URL attached thereto. In this state, if the user selects 'back key', it switches to the dialog view window.

Accordingly, when the user selects a desired image, URL, music, or video from the chat album 80 without selecting a message, the user can view the attached bubble (content) and background image Window). When 'Back key' is selected in this state, a dialog box is displayed.

In the present invention, for convenience of explanation, the dialog bubble, the dialogue content, the dialogue view, the dialogue window, the background image and the background screen are used in combination, but the meaning of the two words has the same meaning.

As described above, according to the present invention, when a predetermined message is selected in the message list of the conversation, the contents attached to the message (conversation contents) are automatically displayed in the conversation window, and conversation contents and dialogue boxes When the file is switched to another window, the background image (image) is automatically changed to the attached content or the image and music are reproduced, thereby enabling the user to display the message more emotionally.

The present invention described above can be implemented as computer readable codes on a medium on which a program is recorded. The computer readable medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer readable medium include a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state disk (SSD), a silicon disk drive (SDD), a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, , And may also be implemented in the form of a carrier wave (e.g., transmission over the Internet). Also, the computer may include a control unit 180 of the terminal. Accordingly, the above description should not be construed in a limiting sense in all respects and should be considered illustrative.
