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.

On the other hand, the touch sensors and the proximity sensors discussed above can be used independently or in combination to provide a short touch (touch), a long touch, a multi touch, a drag touch ), Flick touch, pinch-in touch, pinch-out touch, swipe touch, hovering touch, and the like. 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, with reference to Figs. 17 to 30, an operation method of a mobile terminal for controlling earphones and earphones based on a detachment gesture (or a detachment operation) will be described.

17 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of a mobile terminal for controlling an earphone and an earphone based on a detachment operation according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 17, when at least one speaker unit of the first or second speaker unit 201a or 201b is detached, the earphone unit 200 transmits a detachment gesture sensing signal to the mobile terminal 100 (S1701).

The detachment gesture may refer to a gesture in which one or more speaker portions 201a and / or 201b are detached from the ear 300 with the ear 300 inserted therein.

When the detachment gesture sensing signal is transmitted in the state that the mobile terminal 100 performs the call operation, the control unit 180 terminates the call step by step (S1703a), and outputs the resultant sound through the earphone unit 200 in a stepwise manner And transmits a command signal to the earphone unit 200 to stepwise stop the sensing of the transmitted tone (S1705a).

The control unit 180 terminates the call step by step until the volume level at which the transmission sound is sensed through the earphone unit 200 discontinuously at predetermined intervals during the detachment of the detached speaker unit, It may mean an operation of terminating a call after a predetermined settling time elapses after decreasing an output volume level.

The operation of the control unit 180 to stop the output of the synthesized sounds of the first and second speaker units 201a and 201b is performed by the first and second speaker units 201a and 201b during the detachment of the detached speaker unit, (For example, by decreasing the volume level by one level) every predetermined period (for example, one second) of the volume level of the synthesized sound output through the speakers 201a and 201b.

The operation of the control unit 180 to stop the transmission sound sensing of the earphone-microphone unit 203 in a stepwise manner allows the volume level of the transmission sound sensed by the earphone-microphone unit 203 to be preset It may mean an operation that discontinuously decreases every cycle.

The first and second speaker units 201a and 201b output the output of the synthesized sound according to the stepwise command signal of the control unit 180. When the stepped sound output stop command and the stepped transmission sound sensing stop command are transmitted to the earphone unit 200, The earphone microphone 203 stops the sensing of the transmitted sound step by step according to the stepwise command signal of the controller 180 (S1707a).

Meanwhile, when the detachment gesture sensing signal is transmitted in the state where the mobile terminal 100 performs the call waiting operation, the controller 180 rejects the incoming call step by step (S1703b), and outputs the ring tone through the earphone unit 200 To the earphone unit 200 (step S1705b).

The operation of the control unit 180 to reject the incoming call in steps may be such that the volume level at which the ringing tone is output through the earphone unit 200 is discretely discretely set at predetermined intervals during the detachment of the detached speaker unit, And may deny an incoming call when a predetermined settling time has elapsed.

The operation of the control unit 180 to stop the ringing output of the first and second speaker units 201a and 201b step by step is the same as that of the first and second speaker units 201a and 201b May be discontinuously decreasing the volume level of the ringing tone output through the ringing tone generator 20 at predetermined intervals.

When the stepwise ringing output stop command is transmitted to the earphone unit 200, the first and second speaker units 201a and 201b stepwise stop the ringing output according to the stepwise command signal of the controller 180 (S1707b).

Meanwhile, when the detachment gesture sensing signal is transmitted in the state where the multimedia playback operation is performed by the mobile terminal 100, the controller 180 stops the multimedia playback step by step (S1703c), and stops the output of the multimedia sound step by step And transmits a command signal to the earphone unit 200 (S1705c).

The operation of the control unit 180 to stop the multimedia sound output of the earphone unit 200 in stages is performed by the speaker unit 201a and the sound output unit 201b through the first and second speaker units 201a and 201b while the detachable speaker unit is detached. It may mean an operation of discretely decreasing the volume level of the sound every predetermined period.

When the instruction to stop the multimedia sound output step by step is transmitted to the earphone unit 200, the first and second speaker units 201a and 201b stop the output of the multimedia sound step by step (S1707c).

When a double touch gesture sensing signal is transmitted by the mobile terminal 100 during an operation mode other than the communication operation, the call waiting operation and the multimedia reproduction operation, the controller 180 reproduces the multimedia (S602d), and outputs the multimedia sound And transmits a command signal for outputting to the earphone unit 200 (S603d).

When an instruction to output the multimedia sound is transmitted to the earphone unit 200, the first and second speaker units 201a and 201b output the multimedia sound (S604d).

Hereinafter, an operation method of the mobile terminal for controlling the earphone and the earphone when the detachment operation is acquired in the busy state will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 18 to 21. FIG.

When the desorption sensing signal is transmitted to the mobile terminal 100, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 transmits the volume level of the synthesized sound output to the first speaker unit 201a and the second speaker unit 201b, And transmits a command signal to the earphone unit 200 to discontinue the reduction in proportion to the detachment time of the speaker unit and output the harmonic sound (S1803).

The first and second speaker units 201a and 201b in the earphone unit 200 can receive and output the volume level of the synthesized sound output at the first level level, (For example, one level per one second) in every predetermined period in proportion to the time, and outputs the resultant sound (S1804).

When the detached speaker unit is inserted into the user's ear 300 again within a preset time after the first and / or second speaker units 201a and / or 201b are detached, the control unit 180 in the mobile terminal 100, Transmits a command signal to the earphone unit 200 to increase and decrease the reduced volume level of the output sound signal to the first level (S1805).

When the command to increase the volume level is sent, the first and second speaker units 201a and 201b in the earphone unit 200 increase the volume level of the reduced condensed sound to the first level and output the condensed sound (S1806).

If the predetermined time has elapsed since the first and / or second speaker units 201a and / or 201b are detached, the control unit 180 in the mobile terminal 100 ends the call (S1807) And sends a command signal to the earphone unit 200 to stop the output and stop the sensing of the transmitted tone (S1808).
