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 uses 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, Detection.

For example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in a pressure applied to a specific portion of the touch screen or a capacitance generated in a specific portion to an electrical input signal. 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.

2 is a flowchart of a method of controlling a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3 is a diagram for explaining how a user analyzes a pattern for confirming contents according to an embodiment of the present invention. 4A to 5B are diagrams for explaining how to change the layout of content according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The method for controlling a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented in the mobile terminal 100 described with reference to FIG. Hereinafter, a method of controlling a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and an operation of the mobile terminal 100 for implementing the method will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 2, the controller 180 may analyze a pattern that the user confirms the contents displayed on the touch screen 151 (S100).

According to an example, the control unit 180 may track the user's gaze to analyze a pattern in which the user confirms the content. The control unit 180 may track the user's gaze from the image obtained through the camera 121, as shown in FIG. 3 (a). Various methods are known for the principle of tracking the user's gaze, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted here. In the present invention, any method can be applied as long as the user can know where the user's gaze stays.

The control unit 180 may track the user's gaze to determine whether the user's gaze is maintained in a specific area of the content displayed on the touch screen 151. [ The control unit 180 can measure the time at which the user's line of sight is maintained in a specific area. The control unit 180 may analyze a pattern of a user's focus on an area of the content according to the measured time.

For example, the control unit 180 may measure the time at which the user's line of sight is maintained in the area where the image 10 is displayed and the time at which the text 20 is maintained in the area where the text 20 is displayed. If the user's gaze is kept longer in the area in which the image 10 is displayed, the controller 180 may analyze the image as having a pattern in which the user mainly confirms the image.

However, this is merely an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. A reference time of a constant value can be preset for the image 10 and the text 20, respectively. The controller 180 may analyze which area the user mainly confirms based on the ratio of the measurement time to the reference time.

According to another example, the controller 180 may measure a time when a specific area of the content is displayed on the touch screen 151 in order to analyze a pattern in which the user confirms the content. Referring to FIG. 3B, the user can scroll the screen displayed on the touch screen 151 to confirm the content composed of the image 10 and the text 20.

The control unit 180 may measure the time at which a specific area of the content is displayed on the touch screen 151 according to the scrolling of the user. The control unit 180 may analyze a pattern of a user's focus on an area of the content according to the measured time.

For example, the control unit 180 may measure the time at which the area where the image 10 is displayed on the touch screen 151 and the time at which the area where the text 20 is displayed is maintained. If the image is displayed on the touch screen 151 for a longer period of time, the control unit 180 may analyze the image to have a pattern in which the user mainly confirms the image.

However, this is merely an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. A reference time of a constant value can be preset for the image 10 and the text 20, respectively. The controller 180 may analyze which area the user mainly confirms based on the ratio of the measurement time to the reference time.

3 (c), the controller 180 may receive the biometric information of the user from the external device 200 in order to analyze a pattern in which the user confirms the content. As an example, FIG. 3 (c) shows an earphone including an EEPROM chip as an external device 200. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any device capable of measuring biometric information capable of detecting the user's physical condition such as brain waves, pulse rate, heart rate, and the like can be applied.

The control unit 180 can receive the biometric information measured by the external device 200 through the wireless communication unit 110. [ The control unit 180 can compare the received biometric information with a predetermined specific criterion. The specific criterion may be predetermined to determine whether the user is concentrated on each biometric information.

For example, when the measured EEG shows a certain waveform, the controller 180 can determine that the user is concentrated. The controller 180 may determine that the user intends to check the content displayed on the touch screen 151 at a point of time when the user determines that the user is concentrated. For example, when the image 10 is displayed on the touch screen 151 when the biometric information of the user is determined to be in a concentrated state, the control unit 180 may analyze that the user has a pattern for mainly confirming the image .

According to an example, the controller 180 may determine the pattern of the user when the predetermined period or the number of times is satisfied. For example, when the user's eyesight retention on the image is repeated three times or more during one day, the controller 180 can determine that the image area is mainly confirmed by the user's pattern. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the period or the number of times may be differently determined as necessary.

Referring back to FIG. 2, the controller 180 may determine a topic that the user is interested in based on the pattern [S110].

4A shows that the user focuses on an area in which the image 10 is displayed among the contents displayed on the touch screen 151. FIG. As described with reference to FIG. 3, the control unit 180 may analyze the user as having a pattern of mainly confirming images in the contents. In this case, the control unit 180 may preferentially determine that the subject, which the user is interested in, is an image other than text.

Similarly, FIG. 5A shows that the user focuses on the area where the text 20 is displayed among the contents displayed on the touch screen 151. FIG. As described with reference to FIG. 3, the control unit 180 can analyze a user as having a pattern for mainly confirming text in contents. In this case, the control unit 180 may preferentially determine that the topic of interest to the user is text rather than an image.

In addition, the control unit 180 may determine a more specific subject that the user is interested in based on the image of the content or the content of the text. A specific subject can be determined by analyzing words included in the category or text to which the content of the content belongs. For example, the word 'style' may appear repeatedly in an area where the user's gaze is maintained for a certain period of time. In this case, the controller 180 may determine that 'style' is a topic that the user is interested in.

Referring again to FIG. 2, the controller 180 may store the subject in the memory 170 (S120).

The controller 180 may store the topic of interest to the user in the memory 170. That is, the controller 180 may store an image area in the case of FIG. 4A and a text area in which the user is interested in the case of FIG. 5A. When storing the subject in the memory 170, the control unit 180 may store the storing time.

The control unit 180 can delete the specific subject stored in the memory 170 if the specific subject stored for a predetermined period of time is not used. Alternatively, the control unit 180 may delete the specific topic if the specific topic is not judged again for a certain period of time on a topic that the user is interested in. For example, if a specific word, which is a topic that the user is interested in, is not used within the predetermined time, the controller 180 determines that the specific word is not a topic that the user is interested in, Can be deleted.

Referring again to FIG. 2, when a specific application is executed, the controller 180 may change the display format of the content provided by the specific application based on the subject [S130].

When the specific application is executed, the control unit 180 can determine whether the stored theme is related to the content provided in the specific application executed. A specific application may be applied regardless of its name or type if it provides an image or text containing content such as a web browser.

If a topic of interest to the user is stored as an image, the image may be included in the content provided by the particular application. In this case, the control unit 180 may determine that the content provided by the specific application is related to the stored topic.

The control unit 180 may change the display format of the content so that the user can more easily check the image included in the content provided by the specific application. As shown in FIG. 4B or FIG. 5B, the controller 180 may change a layout for displaying an image or text included in the content provided by the specific application based on the theme.

The controller 180 may enlarge the image area 11 and display the image area 11 at the top of the content, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), if the subject of interest of the user is the image area. The control unit 180 can display the text area 21 following the lower part of the image area 11. [ In FIG. 4 (a), the image region 11 is one, and if there are more images in the content, the image regions can be displayed continuously in the lower portion.

Accordingly, a user who mainly checks an image in the content can conveniently check the image included in the content from the top of the content.

At the same time, the control unit 180 may display an indicator 30 for converting the contents of the text area 21 into a voice and outputting the voice. The user can touch the indicator 30 while checking the image. The control unit 180 can convert the contents of the text area 21 into a voice and output it.

Converting text to speech will not be limited to any particular method. Any known method or any other method may be applied as a method for converting text to speech.

Through this, the user can easily check the contents of the text located under the image while checking the image of the upper part of the contents.

According to another example, the control unit 180 can display the image areas 12 to 14 included in each part of the contents together at the top of the contents as shown in (b) of FIG. 4B. In this case, the controller 180 may adjust the sizes of the image areas 12 to 14 so that the images are simultaneously displayed on one screen. The control unit 180 can display the text area 22 following the lower part of the image areas 12 to 14. 4B shows a case in which there are three image areas 12 to 14, and when there are more images included in the content, the controller 180 may collect other images as well.

Accordingly, a user who mainly checks an image in the content can conveniently check the image included in the content from the top of the content.

According to another example, the control unit 180 can display the image areas 15 to 15 "included in the respective portions of the contents in the uppermost portion of the contents, as shown in (c) of Fig. In this case, the control unit 180 can enlarge and display the size of the image areas 15 to 15 ". According to one example, if the user applies a flick touch input in a particular direction in the image region 15, the control unit 180 may display the image region 15 'below it. In this case, the control unit 180 may display the image area 15 under the image area 15 ".

The control unit 180 can display the text area 23 in succession to the lower part of the image areas 15 to 15 ". [0064] In (c) of FIG. If there are more images included in the content, the control unit 180 may display other images in a superimposed manner.

Accordingly, a user who mainly checks an image in the content can conveniently check the image included in the content from the top of the content.

The control unit 180 may enlarge the text area 24 and display the text area 24 at the top of the contents as shown in FIG. 5 (b), if the subject of interest of the user is the text area. The control unit 180 may display the image area 16 in the lower part of the text area 24. [

Accordingly, a user who mainly confirms text in the contents can conveniently check the text included in the contents from the top of the contents.

According to another example, the control unit 180 can reduce and display the image area 17 included in the content, as shown in (b) of FIG. 5B. The control unit 180 can display the text area 25 on a part other than the image area 17. [ In FIG. 5B, (b) shows a case where there is only one image area 17, and when there are more images included in the content, the controller 180 can also reduce and display other images. The control unit 180 can display the reduced image areas together with the image area 17 and display them. Alternatively, the control unit 180 may display another reduced image area at the original position of each image.

Accordingly, a user who mainly confirms text in the contents can conveniently check the text included in the contents without being disturbed by the image portion.

According to another example, the controller 180 may display the text area 26 included in the content at the top of the content, as shown in (c) of FIG. At the same time, the control unit 180 may display an indicator 40 for viewing other contents on the lower part of the text 26. [ When the user selects the indicator 40, the controller 180 may continuously display the content including the text associated with the displayed text area 26 in the lower part of the text area 26. [

Through this, the user who mainly confirms the text in the contents can continuously check the related text.

FIGS. 6 to 10 are views for explaining content setting according to the setting of a keyword of interest and the set keyword of interest according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 6 shows setting of a keyword of interest according to a pattern of a user. The control unit 180 may set interest keywords in the displayed content based on a topic that the user is interested in. Referring to FIG. 6, as described above, the control unit 180 can determine the text area 20 in which the user's line of sight is maintained as a topic that the user is interested in. The control unit 180 may set the 'style', which is a specific word in which the user's line of sight is mainly maintained, as the keyword of interest 50 in the text area 20. [

In addition, the control unit 180 may determine a keyword of interest to which the user is interested based on the content of the content or the content of the text. The control unit 180 may analyze the keyword of interest by analyzing the words included in the category or text to which the content of the content belongs. For example, if the category in which the user's line of sight is maintained for a predetermined period of time is 'style', the control unit 180 may set 'style' as the keyword of interest.

The control unit 180 may store the keyword of interest in the memory 170. [ When storing the subject in the memory 170, the control unit 180 may store the storing time. The control unit 180 can delete the specific keyword of interest stored in the memory 170 if a particular keyword of interest stored for a predetermined period of time is not used.
