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 .

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).

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.

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.

The main body 301 includes a case that forms an appearance. As shown, the case may include a first case 301a and a second case 301b that provide an internal space for accommodating various electronic components. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one case may be configured to provide the internal space, so that a mobile terminal 300 of a unibody may be realized.

The watch-type mobile terminal 300 is configured to allow wireless communication, and the main body 301 may be provided with an antenna for the wireless communication. On the other hand, the antenna can expand its performance by using a case. For example, a case including a conductive material may be configured to electrically connect with the antenna to extend the ground or radiating area.

A display unit 351 is disposed on a front surface of the main body 301 to output information, and a touch sensor is provided on the display unit 351 to implement a touch screen. The window 351a of the display unit 351 may be mounted on the first case 301a to form a front surface of the terminal body together with the first case 301a.

The main body 301 may include an acoustic output unit 352, a camera 321, a microphone 322, a user input unit 323, and the like. When the display unit 351 is implemented as a touch screen, the display unit 351 may function as a user input unit 323, so that the main body 301 may not have a separate key.

The band 302 is worn on the wrist so as to surround the wrist and can be formed of a flexible material for easy wearing. As an example, the band 302 may be formed of leather, rubber, silicone, synthetic resin, or the like. In addition, the band 302 is detachably attached to the main body 301, and can be configured to be replaceable with various types of bands according to the user's preference.

On the other hand, the band 302 can be used to extend the performance of the antenna. For example, the band may include a ground extension (not shown) that is electrically connected to the antenna and extends the ground region.

The band 302 may be provided with a fastener 302a. The fastener 302a may be embodied by a buckle, a snap-fit hook structure, or a velcro (trademark), and may include a stretchable section or material . In this drawing, an example in which the fastener 302a is embodied as a buckle is shown.

The body 301 or the band 302 may be provided with a sensing unit 340. The sensing unit 340 may include at least one sensor for sensing a biological signal. For example, the sensing unit 340 may include a motion sensor 340a, a thermometer 340b, a heart rate sensor 340c, a flow rate sensor 340d, a blood pressure sensor, and the like. The motion sensor 340a is a sensor capable of sensing a movement of a user and includes an acceleration sensor, a magnetic sensor, a G-sensor, a gyroscope sensor, a motion sensor a motion sensor, and a vibration sensor.

The sensing unit 340 may be disposed on the rear surface of the second case 301b or on the inner surface of the band 302 so as to contact the user's body.

Hereinafter, embodiments related to a control method that can be implemented in the mobile terminal 100 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.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of the mobile terminal 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the controller 180 enters the sleep mode (S310). The control unit 180 may enter the sleep mode according to a user input or a predetermined condition. Here, the sleep mode refers to a mode for controlling other electronic devices related to a sleeping environment such as an air conditioner or lighting, based on at least one type of biological signal for a sleeping user. At this time, the user input may be a hard key (e.g., a volume button, a home button, etc.) provided in the main body of the mobile terminal 300 or an icon corresponding to a sleep mode among soft keys displayed in a specific area of the display unit 351 May be a touch input for.

In addition, the condition for entering the sleep mode may be variously determined, such as a preset sleep time or a motion generation having a predetermined size or pattern. These conditions may be predetermined from the time of shipment and may be changed based on user input. For example, the control unit 180 may automatically enter the sleep mode without a separate additional user input when a specific time set based on user input arrives.

As another example, the controller 180 may automatically enter the sleep mode if the motion size of the user detected through the sensing unit 340 is less than a predetermined size and lasts for a time limit or more. The controller 180 determines that the user is in the sleep state and determines that the user is in the sleep mode when the motion is not detected for a predetermined time or only a very small motion is detected It can enter automatically.

As another example, if the motion magnitude sensed by the sensing unit 340 after a specific time set on the basis of the user input has continued to be less than the predetermined size for a time limit or longer, the control unit 180 automatically enters the sleep mode It is possible. However, the user input or condition for allowing the controller 180 to enter the sleep mode is not limited to the above examples.

Then, the controller 180 senses at least one kind of bio-signals for the sleeping user through the sensing unit 340 (S320). The biological signal may be at least one of various types of biological signals such as a user's motion, body temperature, foot volume, or heart rate. Further, the movement of the user may be related to an operation such as waving an arm, or may be related to vibration such as tremor. However, it should be understood that the type of the biological signal is not limited thereto, but may include various other biological signals such as blood pressure, blood flow volume, electrocardiogram, and the like. The bio-signal may be received through the wireless communication unit 110 of the mobile terminal 300 after being measured by an external device other than the sensing unit 340 of the mobile terminal 300.

At this time, the control unit 180 can sense only a predetermined type of biomedical signal through the sensing unit 340 based on the user input before entering the sleep mode. For example, if the bio-signals that the sensing unit 340 can detect are four kinds of bio-signals such as a user's motion, body temperature, foot volume, and heart rate, if the user selects only a type of bio-signal before entering the sleep mode The control unit 180 can sense only the movement of the user through the sensing unit 340 after entering the sleep mode. Thus, it is possible to prevent a situation in which a user's body temperature, foot volume, and heart rate are not detected, thereby reducing unnecessary calculation amount in analyzing a biological signal.

Next, the control unit 180 generates a control signal corresponding to the detected bio-signal through step S320 (S330). If the sleeping environment of the sleeping user changes, the sleeping state of the user changes according to the changed sleeping environment, and the biological signals sensed at each sleeping state may also be changed. Accordingly, the controller 180 can detect the magnitude or pattern of each type of biological signal in real time or periodically, and generate a control signal according to the detected value. Such a control signal may be a signal instructing to control a predetermined function of at least one of the electronic devices affecting the sleeping environment.

The memory 170 may store a reference value for determining the sleep state for each type of the biological signal, and information about the electronic device and the control value to be controlled for each sleep state. The control unit 180 may determine a user's sleep state by comparing the bio-signal with a reference value stored in the memory 170, and may generate a control signal for a predetermined electronic device using a control value corresponding to the determined sleep state. For example, in the memory 170, a sleep state corresponding to a body temperature higher than a reference value of 36.5 degrees is 'hot', an electronic device to be controlled in a sleep state corresponding to 'hot' Quot; -10 degrees ". If a body temperature of 37 degrees is sensed through the sensing unit 340, the controller 180 compares the body temperature with the reference value of 36.5 stored in the memory 170 to classify the sleep state as 'hot' It is possible to generate a control signal instructing to lower the temperature by '-10 degrees', which is the control value, for the 'air conditioner' which is an electronic device to be controlled in the corresponding sleep state.

On the other hand, as the temperature of the sleeping environment is higher than the user's preferred temperature, the user feels uncomfortable, and the number of times the user turns around may increase, and thus the size of the user's movement sensed through the sensing unit 340 may increase . Alternatively, as the temperature of the sleeping environment is lower than the user's preferred temperature, if the user feels cold as the user feels cold, vibration may be included in the motion of the user sensed through the sensing unit 340. Accordingly, the control unit 180 may generate a control signal for decreasing the temperature by determining that the sleep state of the user corresponds to 'hot' when the size of the motion becomes larger than the predetermined value. In contrast, when the motion sensed through the sensing unit 340 includes vibration, the controller 180 determines that the user's sleep state corresponds to 'cold', and generates a control signal instructing to increase the temperature can do. At this time, the degree of temperature control can be set differently depending on the magnitude of movement, the duration of vibration, and the like.

The above description has been given only of the operation of generating the control signal for the electronic device related to the temperature of the sleeping environment on the basis of the movement of the bio-signals for the sleeping user. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, It is apparent to those skilled in the art that it is possible to generate a control signal for an electronic device associated with an element other than temperature (e.g., brightness, noise, etc.) based on the signal. For example, when the user's heart rate sensed through the sensing unit 340 does not decrease below a predetermined ratio with respect to the heart rate at the time of non-sleep, the controller 180 controls the brightness of the sleep environment (E.g., illumination) can be generated. This is because a normal person has a lowered heart rate during sleep than a normal heart rate, and has a tendency to take a sleep in a sleeping environment with low brightness.

Then, the control unit 180 transmits the control signal to the other electronic device through the wireless communication unit 110 (S340). The electronic device receiving the control signal can control a specific function related to the user's sleeping environment according to the control signal. At this time, one control signal can be simultaneously transmitted to two or more electronic devices. For example, the control unit 180 may transmit a control signal to the air conditioner and the boiler, which commands the temperature to be increased by +10 degrees.

4A and 4B are exemplary views of a setting screen provided for setting various information related to the sleep mode in the mobile terminal 300 related to the present invention.

The control unit 180 may provide the display unit 351 with a type of biosignal to be sensed in the sleep mode and a setting screen for setting the electronic device to be controlled in the sleep mode.

First, referring to FIG. 4A, the user can select an electronic device to be controlled in the sleep mode through the first setting screen. Such an electronic device is not particularly limited as long as it can form a wireless communication link with the wireless communication unit 110 of the mobile terminal 300. [ For example, an electronic device related to the temperature of a sleeping environment may be selected as an air conditioner, an electric fan, a boiler, a window switch, etc., and an electronic device related to the brightness of a sleeping environment may be selected as a lighting device. Audio, TV, and the like can be selected as electronic devices. The control unit 180 can arrange the icons corresponding to the respective electronic devices and display them on the setting screen. 4A, the first icon 401 corresponding to the air conditioner, the second icon 402 corresponding to the fan, the third icon 403 corresponding to the lighting, the fourth icon 403 corresponding to the TV, An icon 404, a fifth icon 405 corresponding to the audio, and a sixth icon 406 corresponding to the boiler may be displayed on the setting screen. The control unit 180 may generate a predetermined visual effect on the icon selected according to the user input among the icons corresponding to the respective electronic apparatuses so as to be distinguished from the non-selected icons.

In FIG. 4A, only the icons corresponding to the six electronic devices are shown. However, when there are other electronic devices related to the sleep environment, icons for the sleep devices can be displayed. In addition, the user may select the electronic device registration area 410 of the first setting screen to register a new electronic device to be controlled in the sleep mode.

Referring to FIG. 4B, a user can select a type of a biological signal to be sensed in the sleep mode through the second setting screen. The control unit 180 can display icons on the setting screen by sorting the icons of the types of the biological signals. 4B, an icon 421 corresponding to a motion, an icon 422 corresponding to a body temperature, an icon 423 corresponding to a foot volume, an icon 424 corresponding to a heart rate, Etc. may be displayed on the second setting screen. The controller 180 generates a predetermined visual effect on the icon selected according to the user's input among the icons corresponding to each kind of bio-signal, and displays the selected visual effect so as to be distinguished from the non-selected icon. In addition, the control unit 180 may control the sensing unit 340 to detect only the type of biomedical signal selected on the second setting screen when the sleep mode is entered.

5 is an exemplary diagram illustrating an operation in which the mobile terminal 300 related to the present invention enters a sleep mode according to predetermined conditions.

The control unit 180 can enter the sleep mode according to a user input or a predefined condition.

Referring to FIG. 5A, when the controller 180 receives a touch input continuously knocking the display unit 351 in a screen deactivation state for a predetermined number of times (for example, twice) or more, the controller 180 can enter the sleep mode have. Referring to FIG. 5B, when the sleep reservation time is set through the above-described setting screen or the like with reference to FIG. 4, the controller 180 can enter the sleep mode simultaneously with the preset sleep reservation time . 5 (b) shows that the sleep reservation time is displayed on the lock screen. However, this is for the sake of easy understanding of the explanation, and the display unit 351 displays the sleep time in the inactive state as shown in It should be understood that the sleep mode may be entered when the reservation time arrives.

5C, the controller 180 may enter the sleep mode when it is determined that the main body of the mobile terminal 300 reciprocates more than a predetermined number of times within a predetermined range. For example, a user wearing the mobile terminal 300 on his or her wrist can operate the mobile terminal 300 to enter the sleep mode through a simple action of waving the wrist.

Meanwhile, the user input or condition for entering the sleep mode in the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C, and various other types of input and conditions may be set Of course it is.

6 is an exemplary diagram for explaining an operation of the mobile terminal 300 related to the present invention for classifying the sleep state of the user based on the biological signal.

In the memory 170, information on a reference value for determining a sleep state for each type of a living body signal can be stored in advance. The controller 180 may classify the sleep state of the user in real time or periodically by comparing the biological signal sensed through the sensing unit 340 with the reference value stored in the memory 170.

Specifically, the controller 180 accesses the memory 170 in which at least one reference value is stored for each type of the biological signal, and compares the biological signal with a reference value to classify the sleep state. In addition, the controller 180 may store the data on the sleep state of the user classified in real time or periodically in the memory 170 together with the time information.

Referring to FIG. 6A, a sleep state classification table stored in the memory 170 can be identified to classify the sleep state according to the motion size (left side) and the body temperature (right side). The control unit 180 accesses the memory 170 and then searches the sleep state classification table based on the bio-signal to determine the sleep state corresponding to the motion size and the body temperature sensed through the sensing unit 340.

It is assumed that the first reference value S1 and the second reference value S2, which is larger than the first reference value S1, are set in the sleep state classification table for the motion size. If the motion magnitude of the user sensed through the sensing unit 340 is less than the first reference value S1, the controller 180 may classify the sleep state as 'up'. If the motion magnitude of the user is equal to or greater than the first reference value S1 and less than the second reference value S2, the control unit 180 can classify the sleep quality as 'middle'. If the motion size of the user is equal to or greater than the second reference value S2, the control unit 180 may classify the sleep state as 'low'. In this case, 'phase' may correspond to deep sleep, 'middle' to shallow sleep, 'lower' to non-sleep state, and the bio signal may move in the order of 'upper' -> middle -> lower The user may be in a sleep state that fails to take a good night's sleep. In general, the number of times or the size of a person is increased as the sleeping environment becomes inconvenient, so that a sleeping state classification table for classifying the sleeping state of the user based on such tendency can be stored in the memory 170. [

FIG. 6 (b) is a graph showing the result of monitoring the user's motion size with respect to the total sleep time from the time of entering the sleep mode to the end of the sleep mode. 6B, when the user's motion size is less than the first reference value S1 in the first interval (0 to T1), the third interval (T2 to T3), and the seventh interval (T6 to) Accordingly, the controller 180 may classify the sleep state of the user as 'up' in the first period (0 to T1), the third period (T2 to T3), and the seventh period (T6 ~). Since the motion size of the user is less than the first reference value S1 and less than the second reference value S2 in the second section T1 to T2, the fourth section T3 to T4, and the sixth section T5 to T6, The controller 180 may classify the sleep state of the user as 'middle' in the second period T1 to T2, the fourth period T3 to T4, and the sixth period T5 to T6. In addition, since the motion size of the user is equal to or greater than the second reference value S2 in the fifth period T4 to T5, the controller 180 classifies the sleep state of the user as 'low' in the fifth period T4 to T5 .

Meanwhile, FIG. 6 shows that the sleep state is classified based on the motion size of the user. However, the sleep state can be classified by the same method for other kinds of bio-signals other than the motion size. For example, the controller 180 may classify the sleep state according to whether or not the motion of the user sensed through the sensing unit 340 includes vibration of a predetermined pattern. If the user feels cold, the user is shaken. Therefore, the controller 180 can classify the sleep state in the order of 'up' -> middle -> lower 'as the magnitude of vibration increases.

In FIG. 6, the sleep state is classified into three categories of 'up', 'middle' and 'lower', but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, it is possible to further subdivide the sleep state (eg, 'best', 'upper', 'middle', 'lower', 'lowest') by setting three or more reference values. The reference value for classifying the number of classified sleep state or sleep state may be changed according to user input. Hereinafter, the sleep state of the user is classified into 'upper', 'middle', and 'lower' depending on the size of the motion, and the sleep state of the user is classified into 'hot', ' It is assumed that the classification is one. That is, the sleep state at a specific time point can be classified individually for each type of bio-signal.

The control unit 180 generates a control signal corresponding to the classified sleep state and transmits the generated control signal to another electronic device, which will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS.

7 is an exemplary diagram for explaining an operation of the mobile terminal 300 related to the present invention to control the air conditioner 500 based on a living body signal.

The control unit 180 may temporarily suspend the generation of the control signal during a period in which the sleep state is classified as 'up'. The reason for the sleep state being "up" is that the user is more likely to be at a deep sleep, ie, very comfortable sleeping, and therefore has little or no need to control other electronic devices. On the other hand, the control unit 180 may generate a control signal for a period in which the sleep state is classified as 'middle' or 'low'.

At this time, it goes without saying that the control unit 180 can generate different control signals when the sleep state is 'middle' or when the sleep state is 'low'. That is, when the sleep state is classified as 'low', a control signal for controlling other electronic devices can be generated so that a greater change in the sleeping environment at that point of time can be generated as compared with the case where the sleeping state is classified as 'middle'.

Referring to FIG. 7A, the controller 180 controls the second section T1 to T2, the fourth section T3 to T4, and the sixth section T5 to T6), it is possible to generate a control signal instructing to lower the temperature of the sleeping environment to a first temperature value (e.g., 24 degrees). The control unit 180 may transmit a control signal to the electronic device related to the temperature of the sleeping environment through the wireless communication unit 110. [ Referring to FIG. 7 (b), a control signal instructing to lower the temperature of the sleeping environment to the first temperature value is transmitted to the air conditioner 500, so that the target temperature of the air conditioner 500 corresponds to the first temperature value And information on the current temperature and the target temperature may be displayed in the operation window 510. [

Referring again to FIG. 7A, the controller 180 determines whether the temperature of the sleeping environment is greater than the first temperature value during the fifth period T4 to T5, To a low second temperature value (e.g., 22 degrees). Referring to FIG. 7 (c), a control signal instructing to lower the temperature of the sleeping environment to the second temperature value is transmitted to the air conditioner 500, so that the target temperature of the air conditioner 500 corresponds to the second temperature value And information on the current temperature and the target temperature may be displayed on the operation window 510. [

7 (b) and 7 (c), information corresponding to the control signal is displayed on the operation window 510 of the air conditioner 500. However, this is for convenience of explanation, One air conditioner 500 may control the temperature without displaying additional information in the operation window 510. [ 7, the control signal is transmitted to the air conditioner 500. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In one example, the control signal may be sent to a boiler or window system, which is another electronic device associated with the temperature of the sleeping environment. In this case, the boiler can control the temperature of the sleeping environment by raising or lowering the target temperature according to the control signal, and the window system can control the temperature of the sleeping environment through the temperature outside the sleeping environment by adjusting the opening and closing degree of the window .

8 is another exemplary diagram for explaining the operation of the mobile terminal 300 related to the present invention for controlling the air conditioner 500 based on the biological signal.

In the memory 170, a sleep state classification table for classifying the user's sleep state according to a body temperature of the living body signal can be stored. It is assumed that the third reference value S3 and the fourth reference value S4, which is larger than the third reference value S3, are set in the sleep state classification table. If the temperature of the user sensed through the sensing unit 340 is less than the third reference value S3, the controller 180 may classify the sleep state as 'cold'. If the body temperature of the user is less than the third reference value S3 and less than the fourth reference value S4, the controller 180 may classify the sleep state as 'normal'. If the body temperature of the user is equal to or higher than the fourth reference value S4, the controller 180 can classify the sleep state as 'hot'. That is, the body temperature at which the third reference value S3 is less than the fourth reference value S4 is the body temperature corresponding to the normal body temperature range, the body temperature at which the body temperature is less than the third reference value S3 is at the body temperature below the normal body temperature range, The body temperature above S4 may be classified as a body temperature higher than the normal body temperature range.

Referring to FIG. 8A, the controller 180 refers to the sleep state classification table stored in the memory 170 to calculate a first interval (0 to T1), a third interval (T2 to T3), and a fifth interval The sleep state during the fourth period T3 to T4 is classified as' normal ', the sleep state during the second period T1 to T2 is classified as' hot', the sleep state during the fourth period T3 to T4 is referred to as' '. At this time, the control unit 180 may not generate any control signal during the first period (0 to T1), the third period (T2 to T3), and the fifth period (T4) in which the sleep state is classified as' have. This is because the body temperature sensed during the first interval (0 to T1), the third interval (T2 to T3), and the fifth interval (T4) is within the normal body temperature range, so that the user is likely to be comfortable sleeping.

The control unit 180 may control the steering angle of the blade 520 downward and transmit a control signal to the air conditioner 500 to increase the air flow rate for the second section T1 to T2 classified as' . The control unit 180 changes the steering angle of the blade 520 upward for the fourth period T3 to T4 classified as 'cold', and transmits a control signal to the air conditioner 500 .

Referring to FIG. 8B, the air conditioner 500 receives a control signal generated based on a biological signal sensed during the second interval T1 to T2, and changes the steering angle of the blade 520 downward And an operation of increasing the air volume can be performed. Since the second period T1 to T2 is a period in which the sleeping environment is classified as 'hot', the steering angle of the blade 520 is adjusted downward so that the wind sent from the air conditioner 500 can reach the user who is asleep more And increase airflow.

Referring to FIG. 8 (c), the air conditioner 500 receives the control signal generated for the fourth period T3 to T4, changes the steering angle of the blade 520 upward, Can be performed. Since the fourth period T3 to T4 is a period in which the sleeping environment is classified as 'cold', the steering angle of the blade 520 is adjusted upward so that the wind sent from the air conditioner 500 can reach relatively less to the sleeping user And lowering the airflow.

According to FIG. 8, in order to create a comfortable sleeping environment for a user who feels a cold or a heat, a control signal for improving the quality of the sleeping environment is generated by adjusting the wind direction or the wind volume in addition to the method of controlling the temperature of the sleeping environment, Electronic devices can be controlled.

8, it is also possible to control only one of the wind direction and the wind amount, or to control the temperature to the wind direction and the wind amount together with the wind direction, Can be controlled through the same method.

9 is an exemplary diagram for explaining an operation of the mobile terminal 300 related to the present invention for controlling the illumination 600 based on a biological signal.

Referring to FIG. 9A, the controller 180 controls the second section T1 to T2, the fourth section T3 to T4, and the sixth section T5 < / RTI > through T6) to lower the brightness of the illumination 600 to a first brightness value. It is also possible to generate a control signal to command the brightness of the illumination 600 to be lowered to a second brightness value that is less than the first brightness value during a fifth interval T4 to T5 during which the sleep state is classified as & . In general, a person takes a more comfortable sleep in a low-light sleep environment, and the greater the brightness of the sleep environment, the less likely it is to sleep, or the more uncomfortable the person becomes. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the control signal is transmitted to the illumination 600 arranged in the sleeping environment, and a plurality of lights 600a through 600f are arranged in the sleeping environment.

Referring to FIG. 9B, the plurality of lights 600a-600b receiving the control signals generated in the second period T1 to T2, the fourth period T3 to T4, and the sixth period T5 to T6, 600f may lower the brightness to a first brightness value in accordance with the control signal.

Referring to FIG. 9C, the plurality of lights 600a-600f receiving the control signals generated in the fifth period T4-T5 may change the brightness from the first brightness value to the second brightness value Value can be further lowered.

9, the brightness of the sleeping environment is controlled through the lights 600a to 600f, but it is not limited to illumination. For example, an electronic device having a screen such as a TV or a monitor can control all the electronic devices that may affect the brightness of a sleeping environment through the above-described method.

Further, when a plurality of lights 600a to 600f are arranged in the sleeping environment, the control unit 180 may generate a control signal instructing to turn off the power of some lights, instead of uniformly lowering the brightness of each of the lights . For example, in FIG. 9 (b), the brightness of the sleeping environment is changed by turning off the power of the first illumination 600a and the second illumination 600b and keeping the brightness of the remaining lights 600c-600f as they are . In addition, in FIG. 9C, the power of the third illumination 600c and the fourth illumination 600d is further turned off, and the brightness of the remaining lights 600e-600f is maintained, The brightness can be further lowered.

According to FIG. 9, a method of lowering the brightness of the sleeping environment through electronic devices such as illumination has been described as the size of the user's sleeping motion is increased, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the higher the heart rate of a sleeping user, the lower the brightness of the sleeping environment.

10 is an exemplary diagram for explaining an operation of the mobile terminal 300 related to the present invention for controlling the speaker 700 based on a living body signal.

Referring to FIG. 10 (a), the controller 180 controls the second section T1 to T2, the fourth section T3 to T4, and the sixth section T5 to T6) to lower the volume of the speaker 700 to the first volume value. It is also possible to generate a control signal that commands to lower the volume of the speaker 700 to a second volume value that is less than the first volume value during the fifth interval T4 to T5 during which the sleep state is classified as & . In general, a person takes a more comfortable sleep in a low-noise sleep environment, and in a sleep environment where noise above a predetermined value exists, the person tends not to take deep sleep or feel uncomfortable,

Referring to FIG. 10B, the speaker 700 receiving the control signals generated in the second section T1 to T2, the fourth section T3 to T4, and the sixth section T5 to T6, The volume can be lowered to the first volume value in accordance with the control signal.

Referring to FIG. 10 (d), the speaker 700 receiving the control signal generated in the fifth period T4 to T5 may further lower the volume to the second volume value according to the control signal.

10, the noise of the sleeping environment is controlled through the speaker 700. However, the present invention is not limited to the speaker 700 and may be applied to other mobile terminals 100 and 300, a TV or a home theater, Can be controlled through the above-described method. In addition, it is possible to control an electronic device which is not provided with an audio output function but can cause noise in a sleeping environment. For example, when the washing machine operates in the 'strong washing mode' and relatively loud noise is generated, the control unit 180 transmits a control signal to the washing machine through the wireless communication unit 110 to command the motor rotation speed or torque to be reduced And when the washing machine receives such a control signal, the washing machine operates in a 'weak washing mode', thereby reducing noise generation.

Referring to FIG. 10, as the sleep state of the user classified on the basis of the biological signal such as the size of the user's sleeping motion or the heart rate deviates from the comfortable state, the noise of the sleeping environment is lowered through the electronic device such as the speaker 700, Can help you get a good night's sleep.

11 is an exemplary diagram for explaining an operation in which the mobile terminal 300 related to the present invention controls the TV 800 based on a living body signal.

The control unit 180 may generate a control signal instructing to simultaneously control a plurality of functions according to the classified sleep state and transmit the control signal to another electronic apparatus.

Referring to FIG. 11 (a), the controller 180 controls the second section T1 to T2, the fourth section T3 to T4 and the sixth section It is possible to generate a control signal instructing to lower the volume and the screen brightness to the third volume value and the third brightness value during the interval T5 to T6, respectively. Further, it is possible to generate a control signal instructing to turn off power to the fifth section (T4 to T5) in which the sleep state is classified as " lower ".

Referring to FIG. 11B, the TV 800 receiving the control signals generated in the second period T1 to T2, the fourth period T3 to T4, and the sixth period T5 to T6 receives a control signal To the third volume value while at the same time lowering the screen brightness to the third brightness value. Referring to FIG. 11 (d), the TV 800 receiving the control signals generated in the fifth period T4 to T5 may turn off the power to output no sound or light.

11, two or more functions of the TV 800 related to the sleeping environment are simultaneously controlled by using one control signal. However, the present invention is not limited to the TV 800, It is irrelevant to the electronics associated with two or more of the elements (eg, temperature, light, noise, etc.).

On the other hand, in Figs. 7 to 11, the operation of controlling a predetermined electronic device by generating a control signal based on any one kind of biological signal among various types of biological signals has been described for each control signal. The mobile terminal 300 according to the embodiment of the present invention can control other electronic devices by generating control signals according to the result of combining two or more kinds of biometric signals simultaneously sensed by the sleeping user, This will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

12 is an exemplary diagram for explaining an operation of the mobile terminal 300 related to the present invention for controlling the air conditioner 500 on the basis of two or more kinds of biological signals. 12, the operation of adjusting the temperature of the sleeping environment through the air conditioner 500 by combining the motion size and the body temperature in the types of the biological signals will be described. At this time, the user can set priorities and weights according to the types of biological signals through the above-described setting screen or the like with reference to FIG. 4. In FIG. 12, it is assumed that the motion size is set to have a higher priority than the body temperature.

12 (a), the size of the motion in the second section T1 to T2 is greater than or equal to the second reference value S2, but the body temperature is higher than the third reference value S3 corresponding to the normal range, And has a size smaller than the reference value S4. If the control value corresponding to the magnitude of the motion over the second reference value S2 is stored in the memory 170 at a value of -10 degrees and the body temperature at the third reference value S3 is less than the fourth reference value S4, If the corresponding control value is stored as '+0 degree' (i.e., no control signal is generated), the control unit 180 may generate a control signal according to the result of applying the weight corresponding to the priority to each control value have. At this time, it is assumed that the weight for motion size is 0.7 and the weight for body temperature is 0.3.

Referring to FIG. 12B, the controller 180 sets a weight value 0.7 to a control value (i.e., -10 degrees) corresponding to the magnitude of the motion that is equal to or greater than the second reference value S2 in the second interval T1 to T2 To generate a control signal instructing to lower the temperature by 7 degrees, and then transmit the control signal to the air conditioner 500. [ At this time, since the body temperature of the second section T1 to T2 is in the normal range and the control value is '+0 degree', the value to which the weight 0.3 is applied may not be considered. 12B, the target temperature of the air conditioner 500 may be set to 23 degrees, which is lower than the first temperature T1 by 30 degrees and by 7 degrees. In the operation window 510, And the target temperature can be displayed.

12A, the magnitude of the motion in the fourth period T3 to T4 is less than the first reference value S1 and the body temperature is the third reference value S3 lower than the normal range, ≪ / RTI > If the control value corresponding to the magnitude of the motion that is less than the first reference value S1 is stored in the memory 170 as '+0 degrees' (i.e., no control signal is generated) and the body temperature is lower than the third reference value S3 If the corresponding control value is stored as " +10 degrees ", the controller 180 applies the weight 0.3 to the control value corresponding to the body temperature lower than the third reference value S3, And then transmits the air conditioner 500 to the air conditioner 500.

Referring to FIG. 12C, the target temperature of the air conditioner 500 receiving the control signal for commanding the temperature increase of 3 degrees may be set to 26 degrees, which is 3 degrees higher than 23 degrees, which is the temperature of the third time point T3 And information on the current temperature, the target temperature, and the like may be displayed in the operation window 510.

12 illustrates only two types of bio-signals, i.e., a motion size and a body temperature, it goes without saying that control signals can be generated based on more kinds of bio-signals. It is also possible to generate the control signal based on only the biosignal having the highest priority without applying the weight to the control value corresponding to each kind of bio-signal. Alternatively, although not shown, the control signals may be generated in accordance with the result of sorting the sleep state based on only a predetermined number of higher-order bio-signals in descending order of the amount of change within a predetermined time.

13A is an exemplary view of a sleeping information screen provided by the mobile terminal 300 related to the present invention.

The control unit 180 may display a sleep information screen through visualization of information on the user's sleep state from the start point of the sleep to the end point of the sleep through the display unit 351. [ At this time, the control unit 180 may display the sleeping information screen on the display unit 351 based on the user input.

Referring to FIG. 13A, the controller 180 may display a sleep information screen corresponding to the sleep state monitored on the latest date or the date selected by the user. In addition, an icon 461-464 corresponding to the date of monitoring the sleeping state may be included in one side of the sleeping information screen. The controller 180 selects one of the icons 464 from among the icons 461 to 464 and guides the change information of the sleep state according to the monitored time to the date corresponding to the selected icon 464. [ Area 450 can be displayed. At this time, the total sleep time (for example, 6 hours 53 minutes) of the corresponding date may be displayed together.

The gauge area may be in the form of a circular band as shown in FIG. 13A. The controller 180 may control the gauge area in a predetermined direction (for example, clockwise or counterclockwise ) Can be generated. Also, as the inside of the gage area 450 is filled, the gage area 450 can be divided into a plurality of sub areas by a predetermined visual effect as shown in Figs. 13A and 13B. Where each sub-region may indicate a sleep state at a time corresponding to a point at which the sub-region is located in the gauge region 450. At this time, an indicator I indicating a water surface start point (or a water surface end point) may be displayed on one side of the gage area 450.

Referring to FIG. 13 (b), the controller 180 may display different sleep states classified in time in the gage area 450. For example, the first zone 451 is a zone classified as' up ', the second zone 452 is a zone classified as' middle', the third zone 453 is a zone classified as' May be a zone classified as " lower ". The user can see through his gauge area 450 that his sleeping state is in the order of "middle" -> "upper" -> "lower" -> "upper" -> middle -> lower It can intuitively grasp the change.

Although not shown, when the controller 180 receives a touch input to the gage area 450, the control unit 180 determines whether the touch input has been received from the bio-signal corresponding to the received position, the sleep state, Detailed information about the function and the like can be displayed on the display unit 351. [

13B is an exemplary diagram illustrating a statistical screen for information on the sleep state of the user of the mobile terminal 300 related to the present invention.

The control unit 180 may display a statistical screen on the display unit 351 by analyzing the information on the user's sleeping state for a predetermined period of time.

Referring to FIG. 13B, the controller 180 statistically monitors the stored monitoring information for a predetermined period of time, and displays an average sleep time area 471, a total sleep time area 472, An accumulated time area 473 for each sleep state of the past date, an accumulated time area 474 for each sleep state of the most recent date, and the like. At this time, the control unit 180 can set a period for performing the statistics according to the user input, and can automatically delete the monitoring information that has passed the predetermined period from the memory 170.

In the above description, the control signal is generated based on one bio-signal of the user. However, when the number of users is two or more, the bio-signals of the respective users are weighted and added, It is also possible to generate a control signal based on the control signal.

The present invention described above can be embodied as computer-readable codes on a medium on which a program is recorded.
