With the development of communication technology and terminal manufacturing technology, mobile terminals which are portable and capable of communication services are evolving into devices that support comprehensive communication and computing functions beyond the level of service of existing voice calls and short messages. Such a mobile terminal, which may be referred to as a so-called smart phone, may support various functions such as Internet service, email service, mobile messenger service, e-book service, music player,

The exemplary mobile device 100 of the present invention may be configured to include a display unit 110, a memory 120, a processor 130, a transceiver 140, an antenna 150 and a sensor unit 160 .

The processor 130 is connected to the display unit 110, the memory 120, the transceiver unit 140, the antenna 150 and the sensor unit 160 to control the overall operation of the mobile device 100, The page turning function can be executed. Specifically, the processor 130 executes an application that provides content composed of a plurality of pages, detects bending in a predetermined area of the flexible display 110 of the mobile device 100, And to execute a paging function for the contents provided in the application in response to the request. The processor 130 also detects bending in a predetermined area of the flexible display 110 to set a page turn effect and sets the detected bending to a bending operation for executing a page turn effect on the content, It is possible to set a bending operation capable of enabling the page turning effect.

The display unit 110 displays visual output information of the mobile device 100 and may display a page turning effect according to execution of the page turning function of the processor 130. [ In addition, the display unit 110 may be formed of a flexible display and may be bent by the pressure applied to the mobile device 100. In addition, the display unit 110 may be provided with a touch screen function. As a result, the display unit 110 senses input or bending applied to the display unit 110 and can transmit the sensed input or bending to the processor 130 or the sensor unit 160.

The memory 120 may store data / information for use by the mobile device 100 as well as applications that may be executed by the processor 130. The memory 120 may include, but is not limited to, a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), a flash memory, and the like, and may be embodied as any storage medium capable of storing information.

The transmission / reception unit 140 may include a transmission module (not shown) for receiving a transmission function and a reception module for receiving a reception function. In FIG. 4, the transmitting and receiving unit 140 is shown as a single component, but this is an exemplary embodiment, and the transmitting module and the receiving module may be implemented as separate components according to a specific implementation. The transceiver 140 may process radio signals input and output from the mobile device 100 and transmit and receive the radio signals through the antenna 150. [ Also, although not shown in separate figures, it is possible to process communication signals with the mobile device 100 and other devices via a wired cable connection, such as a serial port, a parallel port, or a USB port.

For this, the sensor unit 160 includes a bending detection module for detecting bending of the display unit 110 and a touch sensing module for detecting a touch or drag input on the display unit 110 . 4, the sensor unit 160 is illustrated as a single component, but this is an exemplary embodiment, and the bending sensing module and the touch sensing module may be implemented as separate components according to a specific implementation.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing a page turn function on a mobile device to which a flexible display according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied.

Referring to the steps of FIG. 5, the mobile device 100 executes an application providing content composed of a plurality of pages (step S510). The application to be executed may be any application configured to use content composed of a plurality of pages, but not limited to, an e-book viewer, a music playback application, a movie playback application, a broadcast channel application, and the like.

After the application is executed and related content is displayed, the mobile device 100 senses the bending applied to a predetermined area of the flexible display 110 (step S520). The mobile device 100 displays the page turning effect on the content provided by the application in response to the detected bending (step S530).

Specifically, the mobile device 100 can detect bending, detect the degree of bending according to the bending strength, and display the page turning effect at a different rate according to the degree of bending. For example, the mobile device 100 may determine the degree of bending (e.g., degree of first bending (slightly finned), degree of second bending (middle fined degree), and degree of bending 3 degree of bending), and it is possible to display the page turning effect in at least three speeds depending on the degree of the three bending sensed. For example, the mobile device 100 may have a first rate (e.g., one page per second) in response to a first degree of bending, a second rate (e.g., two pages per second) in response to the second degree of bending, (E.g., 30 pages per second) at a third rate in response to the < / RTI > In addition, the degree of bending and the page turnover rate are not limited to the above-described configuration, and according to an embodiment, the mobile device 100 may be configured with a greater number of page turning speeds (e.g., The degree of bending and thus five different page turning speeds) can be displayed.

In addition, the mobile device 100 can further detect the bending direction, and can display the page turning effect in different directions according to different bending directions. For example, the mobile device 100 may be configured to detect at least two directions (e.g., a first bending direction (a direction in which the flexible display is bent upward) (see FIG. 2)) and a second bending direction (See FIG. 3)) can be determined, and the page turning effect can be displayed in different directions according to the detected bending direction. For example, the mobile device 100 may execute a flip to previous page function in response to the sensed first bending direction and perform a flip to next page function in response to the sensed second bending direction. In addition, according to an embodiment, the mobile device 100 may execute the next page turning function in response to the sensed first bending direction and execute the previous page turning function in response to the sensed second bending direction.

Furthermore, the mobile device 100 can perform page-turning functions at different speeds and different directions depending on the detected degree of bending and bending direction.

In addition, the mobile device 100 can execute the page turning function by interlocking the touch input on the flexible display 110 with the bending. Specifically, the mobile device 100 may determine the bending made after the touch to the predetermined area on the flexible display has continued for a predetermined time duration or longer, as a bending operation for the paging function. With such an embodiment, one embodiment of the present invention provides an intuitive user action that forces the user to touch the finger on the flexible display 110 to move the page of content executed in the application, It can be detected by bending motion for effect.

In addition, the mobile device 100 may interact with the touch input on the flexible display 110 to perform a paging function in another manner. Specifically, the mobile device 100 is capable of displaying a plurality of predetermined regions (e. G., At both lower edge portions of the flexible display 110 or at a plurality of predetermined regions set on both sides of the flexible display 110) Sensing a touch and determining a bending operation in at least one of the at least two predetermined areas as a bending operation for a page turn function. With this embodiment, one embodiment of the present invention provides an intuitive user action to hold both lower or both sides of the flexible display 110 with both hands to move a page of content executed in an application to a page It can be detected as bending motion for turning effect.

6 is a diagram showing an exemplary situation in which a user bends a mobile device to which a flexible display is applied.

For example, assuming that the user is reading the e-book contents using the flexible display device to which the present invention is applied, Similar bending effects can be activated by bending both edges by hand.

Fig. 7 is an exemplary illustration of divided areas of a flexible display in which bending is sensed.

In one embodiment of the present invention, bend sensing is performed in the sensor unit 160 by dividing areas where bending is recognized in the flexible display 110. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the regions where the bending sensing is performed include six regions: upper left region 710, upper right region 720, interrupted left region 730, 740, a lower left region 750, and a lower right region 760, respectively. However, this bending sensing area setting is exemplary and, according to an embodiment, the areas 710, 720, 730, 740, 750, 760 shown in FIG. 7 do not occupy the entire area of the flexible display 110 Can be set as areas occupying only the upper left corner, upper right corner, interrupted left corner, interrupted right corner, lower left corner, and lower right corner. Furthermore, areas for bending detection may be set in a manner different from the area division shown in FIG. 7 according to an embodiment.

One embodiment of the present invention can detect bending in any one of the areas described above and display the page turning effect on the content provided in the executed application in response to the detected bending. In addition, one embodiment of the present invention can perform the page turning function at different speeds and different directions by sensing the degree of bending and bending direction in such area.

Further, an embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that bending is detected in an area of one of the upper left corner, the left left corner, and the lower left corner and one of the upper right corner, the stop right corner and the lower right corner The detected bending can be determined as the bending for the page turning function. With this embodiment, one embodiment of the present invention allows a user to hold an arbitrary position on the left hand side of the flexible display 110 with one hand to move a page of content executed in an application, The intuitive user action of bending and holding the position of the user with the other hand can be detected as the bending operation for the page turn effect.

8A and 8B are diagrams illustrating an exemplary page flipping effect of a page from the bottom edge of the page in accordance with sensed bending, and FIGS. 8C and 8D illustrate exemplary page flipping effects, Figs. 8e and 8f are diagrams showing an exemplary page turning effect that a page is passed from one side of the page to the other side according to the detected bending. Fig.

In accordance with the execution of the paging function in response to the above-described bending detection, the exemplary mobile device 100 of the present invention can display the page turn effect as in Figs. 8a-b, 8c-d or 8e-f . However, depending on the nature or implementation of the content being paged, the mobile device 100 may display a different way of page turning in response to bending detection.

FIG. 9 is a view illustrating an exemplary display screen in which contents composed of a plurality of pages to which a page turnover function according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention can be applied.

As described above, the page turning function according to the present invention can be applied to an electronic book content composed of a plurality of pages, a music list content composed of a plurality of pages, a game list content composed of a plurality of pages, Channel list contents, and the like. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can be applied to any contents requiring a page turn function. 9 is an exemplary configuration in which a specific item can be selected for content including a plurality of items (e.g., a plurality of audio files, a plurality of movie files, etc.) The page turning effect can be applied by the bending detection according to the present invention. In addition, if the content is e-book content composed of a plurality of pages, for example, the book content is displayed on a page basis unlike the content configuration of FIG. 9, and the example screen and the page turn effect of FIGS. Can be displayed.

10 is a flowchart illustrating a method for setting a page turnover function on a mobile device to which a flexible display according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied.

Referring to the steps of FIG. 10, the mobile device 100 executes an application providing content composed of a plurality of pages (step S1010). The mobile device 100 selects a menu for page turn effect setting (step S1020). This menu selection may be accomplished through specific key or key manipulation of the mobile device 100, specific touch or drag input on the display, specific bending operation for menu selection, etc., according to an implementation. Upon entering the page turn effect setting mode, the mobile device 100 senses bending in a predetermined area of the flexible display 110 (step S1030). The mobile device 100 sets the detected bending as a bending operation for executing a turning effect on the content provided in the application (step S1040).

In addition, the bending detection in step S1030 may include a bending direction detection as well as a bending direction detection, so that in step S1040, the detected bending is detected as a different turning speed depending on the degree of bending or a page turning effect As shown in FIG. Through the page turning effect setting, the user of the mobile device 100 can change the predetermined bending operation to another bending operation desired to execute the page turning effect.

11 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing a page turnover function on a mobile device according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to the steps of FIG. 11, the mobile device 100 executes an application providing content composed of a plurality of pages (step S1110). The application determines whether the mobile device 100 supports flexible display (step S1120). If it is determined in step S1120 that the mobile device 100 supports the flexible display, the mobile device 100 senses bending in a predetermined area of the flexible display 110 (step S1130). In response to the detected bending, the mobile device 100 displays a page turning effect on the content provided by the application (step S1140).

However, if it is determined in step S1120 that the mobile device 100 does not support the flexible display (i.e., if the display unit 110 is not a flexible display), the mobile device 100 can perform a drag on a predetermined area of the display (Step S1150). In response to the detected drag, the mobile device 100 displays the page turning effect on the content provided in the application (step S1140).

Further, the drag detection in step S1150 may include detection of the direction of the drag as well as the distance to be dragged (e.g., the distance dragged from the drag start point). Accordingly, in step S1160, the mobile device 100 may determine that the dragged distance detected in response to the detected drag is at a different rate (e.g., one page per second when moving about 3 cm from the drag start point, four pages per second , 40 pages per second when moving about 9 cm), as well as execute the page turning function in different directions according to the detected drag direction in response to the detected drag.

Through such an embodiment, regardless of whether the mobile device supports the flexible display, when the page turnover function according to the present invention is implemented in an application, the application can be applied to a mobile device applying a flexible display It can be installed and executed in all mobile devices that do not support flexible displays.
