Preferably, the light emission pattern includes at least one of a holding time for repeatedly lighting and extinguishing the flash unit, a number of times the flash unit is turned on and off, a time interval between turning on and off the flash unit, Can be determined according to the set value for one.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, an operation method of a portable terminal equipped with the light emitting case is provided. The operation method includes: detecting a predetermined event occurrence; And turning on / off the flash unit according to a predetermined light emission pattern corresponding to the event when the event occurrence is detected.
Advantageously, the event may include at least one of receiving a predetermined user input, receiving an alert according to a predetermined application activation, receiving a message, and receiving a call connection request.
Preferably, the light emission pattern includes at least one of a holding time at which the flash unit repeatedly turns on and off, a number of times the flash unit is turned on and off, a time interval between turning on and off the flash unit, Can be determined according to the set value for one.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for performing the operating method.
According to the present invention, the light-emitting case functions as a protective case, and the light-emitting case emits light in a different light-emitting pattern according to an event without mounting a separate light-emitting module such as an LED module. .
According to the present invention, since the light emitting case can be realized to emit light with various emission patterns and various emission colors, it is possible to provide users with various designs and aesthetics.
