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.

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.

Next, a communication system that can be implemented through the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention will be described.

First, the communication system may use different wireless interfaces and / or physical layers. For example, wireless interfaces that can be used by a communication system include Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) ), Universal mobile telecommunication systems (UMTS) (in particular Long Term Evolution (LTE), Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A)), Global System for Mobile Communications May be included.

Hereinafter, for the sake of convenience of description, the description will be limited to CDMA. However, it is apparent that the present invention can be applied to all communication systems including an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) wireless communication system as well as a CDMA wireless communication system.

A CDMA wireless communication system includes at least one terminal 100, at least one base station (BS) (also referred to as a Node B or Evolved Node B), at least one Base Station Controllers (BSCs) , And a Mobile Switching Center (MSC). The MSC is configured to be coupled to a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and BSCs. The BSCs may be paired with the BS via a backhaul line. The backhaul line may be provided according to at least one of E1 / T1, ATM, IP, PPP, Frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL or xDSL. Thus, a plurality of BSCs may be included in a CDMA wireless communication system.

In this case, a combination of one BSC and at least one BS may be referred to as a " base station ". The base station may also indicate a "cell site ". Alternatively, each of the plurality of sectors for a particular BS may be referred to as a plurality of cell sites.

A broadcast transmission unit (BT) transmits a broadcast signal to terminals 100 operating in the system. The broadcast receiving module 111 shown in FIG. 1A is provided in the terminal 100 to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by the BT.

In addition, a Global Positioning System (GPS) may be associated with the CDMA wireless communication system to identify the location of the mobile terminal 100. The satellite 300 aids in locating the mobile terminal 100. Useful location information may be obtained by two or more satellites. Here, the position of the mobile terminal 100 can be tracked using all the techniques capable of tracking the location as well as the GPS tracking technology. Also, at least one of the GPS satellites may optionally or additionally be responsible for satellite DMB transmission.

The location information module 115 included in the mobile terminal is for detecting, computing, or identifying the location of the mobile terminal, and may include a Global Position System (GPS) module and a WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) module. Optionally, the location information module 115 may perform any of the other functions of the wireless communication unit 110 to obtain data relating to the location of the mobile terminal, in addition or alternatively.

The GPS module 115 calculates distance information and accurate time information from three or more satellites and then applies trigonometry to the calculated information to accurately calculate three-dimensional current location information according to latitude, longitude, and altitude can do. At present, a method of calculating position and time information using three satellites and correcting an error of the calculated position and time information using another satellite is widely used. In addition, the GPS module 115 can calculate speed information by continuously calculating the current position in real time. However, it is difficult to accurately measure the position of the mobile terminal by using the GPS module in the shadow area of the satellite signal as in the room. Accordingly, a WPS (WiFi Positioning System) can be utilized to compensate the positioning of the GPS system.

The WiFi Positioning System (WPS) is a system in which a mobile terminal 100 uses a WiFi module included in the mobile terminal 100 and a wireless AP (wireless access point) transmitting or receiving a wireless signal with the WiFi module, Is a technology for tracking a location of a wireless local area network (WLAN) using WiFi.

The WiFi location tracking system may include a Wi-Fi location server, a mobile terminal 100, a wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100, and a database in which certain wireless AP information is stored.

The mobile terminal 100 connected to the wireless AP can transmit a location information request message to the Wi-Fi location server.

The Wi-Fi position location server extracts information of the wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100 based on the location information request message (or signal) of the mobile terminal 100. The information of the wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100 may be transmitted to the Wi-Fi location server through the mobile terminal 100 or may be transmitted from the wireless AP to the Wi-Fi location server.

The information of the wireless AP to be extracted based on the location information request message of the mobile terminal 100 includes a MAC address, an SSID (Service Set IDentification), a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) Reference Signal Received Quality), channel information, Privacy, Network Type, Signal Strength, and Noise Strength.

As described above, the Wi-Fi position location server can receive the information of the wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100 and extract the wireless AP information corresponding to the wireless AP to which the mobile terminal is connected from the pre-established database. In this case, the information of any wireless APs stored in the database includes at least one of MAC address, SSID, channel information, privacy, network type, radius coordinates of the wireless AP, building name, Available), the address of the AP owner, telephone number, and the like. At this time, in order to remove the wireless AP provided using the mobile AP or the illegal MAC address in the positioning process, the Wi-Fi location server may extract only a predetermined number of wireless AP information in order of RSSI.

Then, the Wi-Fi location server can extract (or analyze) the location information of the mobile terminal 100 using at least one wireless AP information extracted from the database. And compares the received information with the received wireless AP information to extract (or analyze) the location information of the mobile terminal 100.

As a method for extracting (or analyzing) the position information of the mobile terminal 100, a Cell-ID method, a fingerprint method, a triangulation method, and a landmark method can be utilized.

The Cell-ID method is a method of determining the position of the mobile station with the strongest signal strength among neighboring wireless AP information collected by the mobile terminal. Although the implementation is simple, it does not cost extra and it can acquire location information quickly, but there is a disadvantage that positioning accuracy is lowered when the installation density of the wireless AP is low.

The fingerprint method collects signal strength information by selecting a reference position in a service area, and estimates the position based on the signal strength information transmitted from the mobile terminal based on the collected information. In order to use the fingerprint method, it is necessary to previously convert the propagation characteristics into a database.

The triangulation method is a method of calculating the position of the mobile terminal based on the coordinates of at least three wireless APs and the distance between the mobile terminals. (Time of Arrival, ToA), Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) in which a signal is transmitted, and the time difference between the wireless AP and the wireless AP, in order to measure the distance between the mobile terminal and the wireless AP. , An angle at which a signal is transmitted (Angle of Arrival, AoA), or the like.

The landmark method is a method of measuring the position of a mobile terminal using a landmark transmitter that knows the location.

Various algorithms can be utilized as a method for extracting (or analyzing) the location information of the mobile terminal.

The extracted location information of the mobile terminal 100 is transmitted to the mobile terminal 100 through the Wi-Fi location server, so that the mobile terminal 100 can acquire the location information.

The mobile terminal 100 may be connected to at least one wireless AP to obtain location information. At this time, the number of wireless APs required to acquire the location information of the mobile terminal 100 may be variously changed according to the wireless communication environment in which the mobile terminal 100 is located.

As shown in FIG. 1A, a mobile terminal according to the present invention includes Bluetooth ™, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Infrared Data Association (IrDA), UWB (Ultra Wideband), ZigBee, NFC Field Communication), and Wireless USB (Wireless Universal Serial Bus).

Among them, the NFC module provided in the mobile terminal supports the non-contact type short-range wireless communication between the terminals at a distance of about 10 cm. The NFC module may operate in either a card mode, a reader mode, or a P2P mode. In order for the NFC module to operate in the card mode, the mobile terminal 100 may further include a security module for storing card information. Here, the security module may be a physical medium such as a UICC (e.g., a SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) or a USIM (Universal SIM)), a Secure micro SD and a sticker, or a logical medium For example, embeded SE (Secure Element)). Data exchange based on SWP (Single Wire Protocol) can be made between NFC module and security module.

When the NFC module is operated in the card mode, the mobile terminal can transmit the stored card information to the outside such as a conventional IC card. Specifically, if the mobile terminal storing the card information of the payment card such as a credit card or a bus card is brought close to the fare payment machine, the mobile local payment can be processed, and the mobile terminal storing the card information of the access card can be accessed If you are close to the time, the approval process for access may begin. Cards such as credit cards, transportation cards, and access cards are mounted on the security module in the form of an applet, and the security module can store card information on the mounted card. Here, the card information of the payment card may be at least one of a card number, balance, and usage details, and the card information of the access card may include at least one of a name, a number (e.g., It can be one.

When the NFC module is operated in the reader mode, the mobile terminal can read data from an external tag. At this time, the data received from the mobile terminal by the tag may be coded into a data exchange format (NFC Data Exchange Format) defined by the NFC Forum. In addition, the NFC Forum defines four record types. Specifically, the NFC forum defines four RTDs (Record Type Definitions) such as Smart Poster, Text, Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), and General Control. If the data received from the tag is a smart poster type, the control unit executes a browser (e.g., an Internet browser), and if the data received from the tag is a text type, the control unit can execute the text viewer. When the data received from the tag is a URI type, the control unit executes the browser or makes a telephone call, and if the data received from the tag is a general control type, it can execute appropriate operations according to the control contents.

When the NFC module is operated in a peer-to-peer (P2P) mode, the mobile terminal can perform P2P communication with another mobile terminal. At this time, LLCP (Logical Link Control Protocol) may be applied to P2P communication. For P2P communication, a connection can be created between the mobile terminal and another mobile terminal. At this time, the generated connection can be divided into a connectionless mode in which one packet is exchanged and terminated, and a connection-oriented mode in which packets are exchanged consecutively. Through P2P communications, data such as business cards, contact information, digital photos, URLs in electronic form, and setup parameters for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity can be exchanged. However, since the usable distance of NFC communication is short, the P2P mode can be effectively used to exchange small-sized data.

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.

In the following description of the drawings, the drawings drawn on the left-hand side are referred to in the clockwise order.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for selecting identification information of a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a communication network according to identification information. 4 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example of an external device communicating with a mobile terminal, and FIGS. 5A, 5B, and 5C illustrate a method of performing communication between a first terminal and a second terminal.

The mobile terminal according to the present invention may proceed with storing the first identification information (S210).

5A) for storing first identification information, a communication unit 110 for communicating with an external device, a display unit 151 for outputting screen information, and a control unit 180 ). The identification unit 500 may be called a telephony framework. Also, the first identification information may be information for authenticating a usage right of the mobile terminal.

For example, the first identification information may be information included in a subscriber identity module (SIM). The subscriber identity module may be a card-like module for storing information related to various services used in the mobile terminal. In addition, the information included in the subscriber identity module may include various information such as subscriber authentication information, billing information, and security information of the mobile terminal. That is, the mobile terminal can provide various services using the first identification information.

Meanwhile, the mobile terminal according to the present invention may not proceed to step S210. In this case, the first identification information may not be stored in the mobile terminal. That is, the mobile terminal may be a mobile terminal that can not independently perform communication using the communication network based on the identification information before receiving the identification information from the external device.

Even if the mobile terminal does not proceed to step S210 and the first identification information is not stored, the steps described below may be continued as it is.

After storing the first identification information, the mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may proceed with receiving the second identification information different from the first identification information from the external device (S220).

A mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention can receive second identification information stored in the external apparatus through communication from an external apparatus.

The communication with the external device may be performed by a local area communication method. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 1A, the present invention can be applied to various wireless communication systems such as Bluetooth ™, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Infrared Data Association (IrDA), UWB (Ultra Wideband), ZigBee, NFC ), Wi-Fi (Wireless-Fidelity), Wi-Fi Direct, and Wireless USB (Wireless Universal Serial Bus) technology.

Meanwhile, the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention may not store the first identification information in the identification unit 500. [ In this case, the control unit 180 may store the second identification information in the identification unit 500.

5A, the mobile terminal, in which the first identification information is not stored, may receive the second identification information received from the external device, and may store the second identification information in the identification unit 500. FIG.

Referring to FIG. 5A, an identification unit of a first terminal (also referred to as a telephony framework in the drawing) may include a telephony manager and an identification information storage unit to securely perform communication using first identification information. The Telephony manager may provide an application programming interface (API) between the identification information storage unit and the control unit in order to perform communication using the SIM information. The identification information storage unit may store the identification information, and may provide the identification information to the communication unit to perform communication.

The second terminal is a device capable of communicating with a mobile terminal, and may be a mobile terminal having a communication unit, a smart watch, a smart glass, or the like. The SmartWatch is a kind of wearable device and is a device that can be worn on the wrist or face.

At this time, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal according to the present invention can receive the second identification information from the external device if the user's selection or predetermined condition is satisfied.

The predetermined condition may be a condition that the external device and the mobile terminal are located within a predetermined distance, a condition that the external device and the mobile terminal perform close range communication, a condition that the battery remaining amount of the external device is a predetermined amount or less, A condition in which the user is registered in advance.

For example, the control unit 180 may receive second identification information from the external device through short-range communication when an external device is detected within a distance that enables short-range communication based on the mobile terminal. The short-range communication may be a Bluetooth (Bluetooth) method.

As another example, the control unit 180 may receive information on the remaining battery level from an external device. At this time, the controller 180 can receive the second identification information when the battery remaining amount is less than a preset amount. Accordingly, the present invention can provide a method of performing communication through an external device with respect to an apparatus whose communication performance is limited due to insufficient battery remaining amount.

As another example, the controller 180 may receive specific information from an external device before receiving the second identification information. The specific information may be external device specific information or predetermined password information. For example, the external device specific information may be international mobile equipment identity (IMEI).

The specific information may be transmitted from the first terminal to the second terminal using the NFC communication method. At this time, if the specific information received from the second terminal is pre-registered information, the controller 180 can receive the second identification information. Thus, the present invention can enhance the security by restricting indiscreet reception of the identification information from the external device.

At this time, the controller 180 may store notification information indicating that the second identification information is information received from the external terminal. For example, the controller 180 may store the second identification information as virtual identification information to recognize virtual identification information.

5B, when the first terminal and the second terminal are connected to each other by short distance communication, the first terminal may request identification information from the second terminal have. At this time, the first terminal may be a terminal in which the first identification information is not stored.

Here, the identification information may be SIM information. The second terminal may transmit the second identification information to the first terminal in response to the identification information request.

When the second identification information is received, the control unit 180 of the first terminal may store the second identification information in the identification unit 500. In this way, the first terminal can perform communication based on the second identification information using the communication unit of the second terminal through short-distance communication with the second terminal.

Meanwhile, unlike the above description, the first terminal may receive the second identification information from the second terminal while the first identification information is stored. In this case, the controller 180 of the first terminal may store the first identification information and the second identification information together in the identification unit 500.

For example, referring to FIG. 5C, a first terminal may request identification information from a second terminal while the first terminal and the second terminal are performing near-field communication. The second terminal may transmit the second identification information to the first terminal in response to the identification information request.

When the first terminal receives the second identification information, the first terminal may store the first and second identification information together in the identification unit 500.

If the second identification information is stored, the mobile terminal can perform the communication using one of the first identification information and the second identification information (step < RTI ID = 0.0 > S230).

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 3, the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention can perform communication through different networks based on the identification information. That is, the mobile terminal 100 can perform the communication network authentication procedure through the identification information to use any one of the plurality of communication networks. At this time, each identification information may include authentication information of different communication networks.

If the first and second identification information are stored in the identification unit 500, the controller 180 performs communication using one of the first identification information and the second identification information can do.

For example, referring to FIG. 5B, in a mobile terminal not including the first identification information, when the second identification information is received from the second terminal, the controller 180 determines, based on the second identification information, The communication unit of the second terminal can be controlled so that communication is performed.

The method for performing communication using the second identification information will be described in more detail. The control unit 180 of the first terminal can use the communication unit of the second terminal through short-range communication. That is, the control unit 180 may control the communication unit of the second terminal to perform communication based on the second identification information.

Thereafter, the first terminal can perform communication based on the identification information of any one of the first identification information and the second identification information that has been stored previously. For example, referring to FIG. 5C, the first terminal may deactivate the first identification information and perform communication using a communication network capable of communication through the second identification information.

Here, disabling the first identification information may mean controlling the communication unit so that communication is not performed using the first identification information. Conversely, activating the first identification information may mean controlling the communication unit to perform communication using the first identification information.

5C, in the mobile terminal including the first identification information, when the second identification information is received from the second terminal, the controller 180 determines whether the communication is based on the second identification information The communication unit of the first terminal may be deactivated and the communication unit of the second terminal may be activated.

Whether or not to perform communication through the identification information of the first and second identification information can be determined by a predetermined condition or a user's selection.

For example, the controller 180 may select one of the first identification information and the second identification information during the power-on of the mobile terminal. In addition, the controller 180 can select whether to perform communication with the identification information of the first or second identification information before the mobile terminal is switched from the locked state to the released state.

Also, the controller 180 may select one of the first identification information and the second identification information at the request of the user at any time during the continuation of use of the mobile terminal.

At this time, the controller 180 may select any one of the first and second identification information according to a user's control command or predetermined conditions. The predetermined condition may be a condition related to the position information, a condition related to the communication state, a condition related to the charge, and the like.

For example, the control unit 180 performs communication through a first communication network, which indicates first identification information having a higher communication intensity, among the first communication network indicated by the first identification information and the second communication network indicated by the second identification information .

Also, the control unit 180 may be configured to identify, based on one of the first identification information and the second identification information, that the predetermined condition is changed while the communication is being continued, Information can be used to perform communication.

For example, when it is detected that the communication strength of the second communication network is higher during the communication through the first communication network indicated by the first identification information, the controller 180 performs communication through the second communication network can do.

In addition, the control unit 180 can change an accessible application based on the identification information. That is, the control unit 180 can access the first application groups based on the first identification information, and can access the second application groups based on the second identification information.

At this time, while the controller 180 is performing communication through the first identification information, the controller 180 may deactivate the first identification information and access the second identification information to access the second application group .

In the foregoing description, the communication is performed using any one of the first identification information and the second identification information. However, the present invention is not limited to this, Communication may be performed.

In this case, the present invention can simultaneously provide functions available in each of the first and second identification information.

When the controller 180 performs communication using the second identification information, the control unit 180 may receive a call signal from the second identification information. For example, the control unit 180 may receive a call signal from an external terminal. Accordingly, the external device can not directly inform the user of the alarm of the call signal, thereby reducing the battery consumption.

At this time, when the alarm of the call signal is output for a predetermined time or more, the controller 180 may control the external device to output an alarm of the call signal through the short distance communication. That is, when the alarm of the on-call signal is output for a predetermined time or more to the external device, the controller 180 determines that the user does not recognize the alarm signal, and outputs the alarm signal again to the external device You can provide an opportunity.

The control unit 180 can continuously maintain close-range communication with the external device. For example, the control unit 180 can maintain the activation of the Bluetooth communication mode regardless of the transmission and reception of the identification information.

Meanwhile, the control unit 180 may permanently store the second identification information in the identification unit 500, and if the predetermined condition is satisfied, the control unit 180 may delete the second identification information from the identification unit. The predetermined condition may include a condition that short-distance communication with an external device is disconnected, a condition that an external device is located outside a predetermined distance, a condition that a predetermined time elapses after reception of the second identification information, A condition in which the AP is not used, a condition in which the access point is connected to a specific AP, and the like.

For example, the controller 180 may delete the second identification information from the identification unit 500 when short-range communication is disconnected during short-distance communication with the external apparatus that transmitted the second identification information . Thus, the present invention can efficiently use the storage space of the limited identification portion. Further, the present invention temporarily stores the identification information, thereby further enhancing the security associated with the identification information.

In addition, the external device that transmits the second identification information can activate its own communication unit to perform communication using the second identification information when the short-range communication is disconnected.

In addition, when the short-range communication is disconnected, the controller 180 may determine whether to continue storing the second identification information or to delete the second identification information. At this time, if the second identification information is continuously stored, the controller 180 may receive various services based on the identification information.

On the other hand, the second identification information may be deleted from the identification unit based on a predetermined condition. The predetermined condition may be a use state of the second identification information, an elapsed time and position of a predetermined time, a communication state (for example, a state in which communication is performed through a separate communication network), and the like.

In the foregoing, a method of utilizing the identification information received from the external device has been described. The present invention receives identification information from an external device, and can perform communication through at least two pieces of identification information.

Hereinafter, a method of switching to the released state based on the identification information of any one of the first and second identification information while the mobile terminal is in the locked state will be described. 6A and 6B are conceptual diagrams illustrating a method of switching to the released state based on the identification information of any one of the first and second identification information while the mobile terminal is in the locked state.

The mobile terminal according to the present invention may store at least one identification information in the identification unit. When one identification information is stored in the identification unit, the mobile terminal can perform communication using one identification information.

However, if at least two pieces of identification information are stored in the identification unit, the mobile terminal can perform communication using one or more pieces of identification information among the at least two pieces of identification information.

That is, the mobile terminal can perform communication using at least one of two pieces of identification information, or can perform communication using at least two pieces of identification information at the same time.

Meanwhile, when at least two pieces of identification information are stored in the identification unit, the controller 180 can select one or more pieces of identification information among the at least two pieces of identification information.

 The selection of the identification information may be performed when the mobile terminal is powered on, when the mobile terminal is in a locked state, or when the mobile terminal is in use.

For example, the controller 180 may select one or more pieces of identification information of at least two pieces of identification information when the mobile terminal is switched from the locked state to the released state.

More specifically, in order to prevent the user from indiscreetly touching the display unit 151, when the power of the display unit 151 is turned on, A lock state in which reception of a control command is restricted, and a release state in which a control command of the user can be received.

6A, when the control unit 180 is in a locked state in which reception of a control command of the user is restricted, the controller 180 outputs a lock screen indicating the locked state on the display unit 151 can do. The lock screen may include a graphic object indicating an emergency call function capable of performing a call without identification information, a graphic object for switching the lock state to the cancel state, and the like.

Also, as shown in the second diagram of FIG. 6A, when the control unit 180 is in a state of being able to receive a control command of the user, it may output a home screen page or an execution screen of the application. The home screen page may be a page including an icon or widget of an application installed in the mobile terminal.

If the first and second pieces of identification information are detected before switching from the locked state to the released state, the control unit 180 determines whether any one of the first and second identification information Can be selected.

That is, the control unit 180 may output an identification information list including a plurality of identification information stored in the identification unit 500 on the lock screen indicating the lock status. 6B, an identification information list including the first and second identification information may be output on the display unit 151 on the lock screen indicating the lock status.

At this time, if any one of the first and second identification information is selected, the controller 180 can switch the lock state to the released state based on any one of the identification information.

More specifically, when the first identification information is selected, the controller 180 switches to the first release state, and when the second identification information is selected, the controller 180 switches to the second release state.

The first release state may be a state in which the first application group is accessible based on the first identification information. The first release state may be a state in which the first communication network in which the authentication is performed using the first identification information is available.

The second release state may be a state in which the second application group is accessible based on the second identification information. In addition, the second release state may be a state in which the second communication network in which the authentication is performed using the second identification information is available.

For example, as shown in the upper right portion of FIG. 6B, the controller 180 may enter the first release state when the locked state is switched to the released state using the first identification information . At this time, a home screen page associated with the first identification information may be displayed on the display unit 151. [ On the home screen page, applications 601, 602, 603, and 604 included in the first application group may be included.

At this time, the applications 601, 602, 603, and 604 included in the first application group may be applications that can be installed only through the first communication network that has been authenticated using the first identification information.

In addition, when the first release state is switched to the first release state, the controller 180 may output a graphic object 600 indicating that the first identification information is in use in one area of the display unit 151. [

As another example, referring to the lower right figure of FIG. 6B, the controller 180 may enter the second release state when the locked state is switched to the released state using the second identification information. At this time, a home screen page associated with the first identification information may be displayed on the display unit 151. [ On the home screen page, applications 611, 612, 613, and 614 included in the second application group may be included. The applications 611, 612, 613, and 614 included in the second application group may be applications that can be installed only through the second communication in which the authentication is performed using the second identification information.

In addition, when the second release state is switched to the second release state, the controller 180 may output a graphic object 610 indicating that the second identification information is being used in one area of the display unit 151. [

That is, in the present invention, when different identification information is selected, the mobile terminal can enter different suitable states using the different identification information.

In the above description, when the mobile terminal changes from the locked state to the released state, a method of selecting one or more pieces of identification information among at least two pieces of identification information has been described. Through this, the present invention can provide the user with a different status of the application accessible to the user according to the identification information.

Alternatively, as shown in the bottom right of FIG. 7, the control unit 180 may output a pop-up window asking whether to perform communication using the second identification information, based on the second status information. Through this, the present invention can provide a method for the user to select the identification information for performing communication among the first and second identification information.

In the above, the method of selecting the identification information based on the status information of the mobile terminal has been described.

Hereinafter, a control method after receiving the identification information from the external apparatus will be described. 8A and 8B are conceptual diagrams illustrating a control method after receiving identification information from an external device in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The control unit 180 may receive the identification information from the at least one external device included within the preset distance through the short distance communication. At this time, the controller 180 may receive all the identification information from at least one external device included within a predetermined distance, or may receive some identification information based on the user's selection.

The control unit 180 may output a list of external devices to the display unit 151 in order to receive identification information from at least one of the external devices. Through the list of the external devices, the user can select external devices to receive the identification information.

At this time, the controller 180 may receive the identification information from the external device when the external device is located within the predetermined distance or the user's request.

For example, referring to FIG. 8A, the controller 180 may perform short-range communication with the smartwatch when the smartwatch as an external device is located within a predetermined distance.

When the identification information is transmitted through the communication, the smartwatch deactivates the communication unit included in the smartwatch and can perform communication using the mobile terminal. For example, the control unit 180 may perform a telephone function based on a call signal received from the external terminal on the smart watch. Accordingly, the SmartWatch can reduce battery consumption in the communication unit.

If it is detected that the external device is located outside a predetermined distance after receiving the identification information from the external device located within a predetermined distance, the control unit 180 may delete the identification information received from the external device in the identification unit have.

For example, referring to FIG. 8B, when the SmartWatch, which is an external device, is located outside a predetermined distance, the controller 180 may delete the identification information received from the SmartWatch.

At this time, the SmartWatch can reactivate the inactivated communication unit included in the SmartWatch and perform communication again by itself.

In the above description, identification information is received from an external device located within a predetermined distance.

Hereinafter, a case where a call signal is received from an external terminal will be described. 9 illustrates a case where a call signal is received from an external terminal in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the mobile terminal according to the present invention, at least one identification information may be stored in the identification part. At this time, each identification information may include unique telephone number information. That is, the present invention can have different telephone number information by the number of the identification information.

At this time, when the call signal is received from the external terminal, the control unit 180 can determine whether any one of the plurality of identification information included in the identification unit is received based on the information of the call signal.

For example, referring to FIG. 9, the controller 180 may receive a call signal for the second identification information from an external terminal.

In this case, the control unit 180 may control the mobile terminal to perform communication with the identification information that is the object of the call signal. Then, the call signal can be received and the telephone function can be executed. That is, even in the case of the identification information received from the external apparatus, the present invention can perform the telephone function on the mobile terminal by using the received identification information.

If it is determined that both the first and second identification information are available, the controller 180 determines whether the call signal is one of the first and second identification information based on the status information of the mobile terminal And can perform the telephone function for the call signal. The status information of the mobile terminal may be communication billing information, location information, communication strength information, and the like.

For example, when it is determined that both the first and second identification information are available, the control unit 180 determines whether any one of the first and second identification information Can be selected.
