In more detail, FIG. 1 illustrates a method of touching a touch pad 200 by touching N (N? 2) points on a secondary plane of a touch pad 200 that supports multi-touch with a specified geometry, To the target device having the specified geometric structure to perform the specified operation by recognizing the N points of the specified geometrical structure. The present invention is not limited to the general knowledge in the technical field of the present invention It will be understood by those skilled in the art that reference to and / or modification of the drawings 1 may be embodied with various implementations of the configuration of the touch unit 100 (e.g., some implementations may be omitted and / or replaced and / or separated and / However, it should be understood that the present invention includes all of the above-described embodiments, and the technical features thereof are not limited only by the method shown in FIG. 1 You. For convenience of explanation, the touch unit 100 will be described as an object in the form of a coating in the embodiment of the present invention. However, the structural features of the touch unit 100 of the present invention are not limited thereto, The touch unit 100 of the present invention is manufactured in the form of a module including a touch unit except for some components necessary for maintaining the coating form, and is mounted / embedded in various objects (e.g., cards, accessories, etc.) , Or in the form of a variety of objects that can be held or carried in a hand, in addition to the form of a stamp.

The target device includes a touch pad 200 that supports multi-touches, and recognizes N points touched by the touch pad 200 and recognizes a pattern of the geometric structure to perform a specified operation A wireless terminal such as a smart phone, a mobile phone, and a tablet PC having a touch pad 200 capable of recognizing the touch of the touch unit 100, a computer having or equipped with the touch pad 200, And a merchant terminal such as a CAT or POS terminal having the touch pad 200, or the like.

The touch pad 200 is a general term for an input module that supports multi-touch capable of recognizing N points touched by the touch unit 100, and preferably includes an electrostatic touch pad 200 supporting multi-touch do. However, the touch pad 200 is not limited to the electrostatic touch pad 200 but may be any touch pad 200 that can recognize N points touched through the touch unit 100 of the present invention. I will make it clear. For example, the touch pad 200 of the present invention can be realized in the form of a pressure sensitive touch pad 200 according to the intention of a person skilled in the art, and can be applied to all types ≪ / RTI > touch input configuration. Hereinafter, the touch pad 200 will be described as a capacitive touch pad 200 that supports multiple touches.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the target device can recognize at least two different touch points, which are touched on the touch pad 200, by different touch points, Distance can be set. The minimum distinction recognition distance may be set as a unit of length of a specified metric type, or may be set as a coordinate distance on a designated coordinate system set on the touch pad 200. For example, if the minimum distinction recognition distance of the touch pad 200 is set to 1.5 cm or more, the touch pad 200 can recognize two or more touch inputs at distances of less than 1 cm, It is also possible to distinguish by one touch point.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the target device may set M (M? 2) maximum number of multi-touches that can be recognized multiple times with respect to a plurality of touch points touched on the touch pad 200. For example, when the maximum number of multi-touches of the touchpad 200 is set to 16 or less, the touchpad 200 can recognize up to 16 multi-touch points through the touchpad 200, The 17th multi-touch point is not recognized.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the target device can set a minimum recognizable touch recognition area as a valid touch input for one touch point. Preferably, the target device recognizes the touch input as a valid touch input when the area of the touch point touched on the touch pad 200 is equal to or greater than the minimum touch recognition area, but does not need recognition as a valid touch input . The minimum touch recognition area may be set in an area unit of a specified metric type or may be set as a coordinate area on a designated coordinate system set in the touch pad 200. [

According to the embodiment extended from the present invention, the touch pad 200 may be capable of recognizing a geometric structure corresponding to a specified shape or shape, in addition to supporting M multi-touches. In particular, since the electrostatic touch pad 200 recognizes a touch by sensing a change in electric charge by static electricity, it is possible to recognize the electrostatic surface touch in addition to the electrostatic point touch. When the touch pad 200 supports the electrostatic surface touch, the electrostatic touch surface may have a geometric structure corresponding to the designated shape or shape. In this case, the target device can recognize not only the geometric structure formed by the N touch points touched on the touch pad 200, but also the geometric structure corresponding to the shape or shape of the touch surface by the surface touch recognition, and the N (For example, a contact surface pattern authentication value or an authentication value encoded in a pattern of a contact surface) for recognizing the geometry of each touch surface as well as the geometry of the touch points. When the target device recognizes the geometry of the touch surface touched by the touch pad 200, the number of touch surfaces of the touch unit 100 may be one (N = 1). In this case, The pad 200 may be multi-touchable. In particular, when the target device recognizes the geometric structure of the touch surface touched by the touch pad 200 and the number of touch surfaces of the touch unit 100 corresponding to the target device is one, the target device recognizes the geometry of the touch surface (For example, a contact surface pattern authentication value or an authentication value encoded in the pattern of the contact surface) for performing the designated operation, and it is evident that the present invention also includes such an implementation method. Hereinafter, the features of the present invention will be described focusing on a method for recognizing the geometric structure of the N points and using the geometric structure as an authentication value. However, the feature of the present invention is that only the geometric structure for the N points is recognized When the target device can recognize the geometry of the touch surface to be touched by the touch pad 200, it is needless to say that the method of the present invention is not limited to the geometry for the N touch points, It is clear that an implementation method of recognizing geometric structures together can be applied. In the case where the target device recognizes the geometry of the touch surface touched by the touch pad 200, the present invention is applicable to a case where the number of touch surfaces touched on the touch pad 200 is one, (For example, a contact surface pattern authentication value or an authentication value encoded in a pattern of a contact surface) can also be applied.

Meanwhile, the target device may include a sound input unit 415 for receiving a sound signal, and may have a function of receiving the sound signal and recognizing an encoded code therein. In this case, the touch unit 100 may include an electronic module 400 for outputting sound data obtained by dynamically generating an authentication code having a structure according to a designated code generation rule. The electronic module 400 of the touch unit 100 outputs the dynamically generated authentication code as sound data in the form of a sound signal at a designated time point and the target device is connected to the electronic module 400 of the touch unit 100 The sound signal output from the sound signal receiving unit can receive the encoded signal. At this time, N points touched to the touch pad 200 of the target device through the touch unit 100 are set to a first authentication value (= 1) to allow the specific program 440 included in the target device to perform the designated operation, A fixed authentication value), and the authentication code encoded in the sound data can perform a function of a second authentication value (= dynamic authentication value) for causing the target device to perform the designated operation.

Also, the target device may include a proximity communication module (e.g., an NFC module operating in accordance with a Near Field Communication (NFC) based proximity wireless communication standard) for processing proximity wireless communication, It can process proximity wireless communication. In this case, the touch unit 100 may embed an electronic module 400 that dynamically generates an authentication code having a structure according to a designated code generation rule and transmits the authentication code through the proximity wireless communication. The electronic module 400 of the touch unit 100 transmits the dynamically generated authentication code through the proximity wireless communication at a designated time, and the target device is transmitted from the electronic module 400 of the touch unit 100 Quot; authentication code " At this time, N points touched to the touch pad 200 of the target device through the touch unit 100 are set to a first authentication value (= 1) to allow the specific program 440 included in the target device to perform the designated operation, A fixed authentication value), and the authentication code can perform a function of a second authentication value (= dynamic authentication value) for causing the target device to perform a specified operation.

Meanwhile, when the target device includes the proximity communication module, the electronic module 400 of the touch unit 100 can transmit a unique code stored in the internal memory through the proximity wireless communication, It is possible to receive a unique code transmitted from the electronic module 400 of the touch unit 100. At this time, the unique code received by the target device through the proximity wireless communication performs a function of a second authentication value (= unique authentication value) for causing the target device to perform the designated operation, (For example, in a state in which the program 440 is installed) in a state in which the program 440 is available, recognizing N points touched by the touch pad 200 among a plurality of programs 440 and executing a specified program 440 ) Or may be used as a command value to activate (e.g., to transition from a state in which the installed program 440 is running or a state in which it operates in the background).

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the target device may include both the sound input unit 415 and the proximity communication module. In this case, any one of the sound input unit 415 and the proximity communication module may selectively transmit the second authentication value It can be used for receiving input. Alternatively, the sound input unit 415 may be used to receive a second authentication value (e.g., a first authentication code encoded in sound data), and the proximity communication module may use a third authentication value (e.g., The second authentication code). Alternatively, the proximity communication module may be used to receive a second authentication value (e.g., a first authentication code received through proximity wireless communication), and the sound input unit 415 may receive a third authentication value (e.g., The first authentication code). Alternatively, the proximity communication module may be used to receive a command value for driving or activating a specific program 440 of the target device, and the sound input unit 415 may use a second authentication value (e.g., ) Can be used for receiving input.

Preferably, the N touch units 110 may be manufactured by laser cutting, mechanical cutting, or the like. If the material of the touch plate is deformed by heat (for example, an electrostatic inducing material), a part of the touch plate may be deformed by heat during the laser cutting. In this case, the N touch portions 110 may be simultaneously or simultaneously touched on the second plane of the touch pad 200 through a mechanical correction cutting or abrasion process on the deformed portion, The touch module 115 can be pressed and fixed to the fixed frame 120 at a predetermined pressure or more, which is set to cancel the deformed state in the process of fixing the touch module 115 to the fixed frame 120.

According to the method of the present invention, various cutouts, patterns, patterns, patterns, logos, and the like may be additionally cut on the cut portion of the touch plate to form the N touch units 110.
