Representative sensors among various sensors that may be included in the sensing unit 140 will be described in more detail.

First, the proximity sensor 141 refers to a sensor that detects the presence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface, or the presence of an object in the vicinity of the detection surface, without mechanical contact by using electromagnetic force or infrared rays. The proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in the inner area of the mobile terminal or in proximity to the touch screen, which is covered by the touch screen.

Examples of the proximity sensor 141 include a transmission type photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection type photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection type photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation type proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor. In the case where the touch screen is electrostatic, the proximity sensor 141 can be configured to detect the proximity of the object with a change of the electric field along the proximity of the object having conductivity. In this case, the touch screen (or touch sensor) itself may be classified as a proximity sensor.

On the other hand, for convenience of explanation, the act of recognizing that the object is located on the touch screen in proximity with no object touching the touch screen is referred to as "proximity touch & The act of actually touching an object on the screen is called a "contact touch. &Quot; The position at which the object is closely touched on the touch screen means a position where the object corresponds to the touch screen vertically when the object is touched. The proximity sensor 141 can detect a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (e.g., a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, have. Meanwhile, the control unit 180 processes data (or information) corresponding to the proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern sensed through the proximity sensor 141 as described above, and further provides visual information corresponding to the processed data It can be output on the touch screen. Furthermore, the control unit 180 can control the mobile terminal 100 such that different operations or data (or information) are processed according to whether the touch to the same point on the touch screen is a proximity touch or a touch touch .

The touch sensor uses a touch (or touch input) applied to the touch screen (or the display unit 151) by using at least one of various touch methods such as a resistance film type, a capacitive type, an infrared type, an ultrasonic type, Detection.

For example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in a pressure applied to a specific portion of the touch screen or a capacitance generated in a specific portion to an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect a position, an area, a pressure at the time of touch, a capacitance at the time of touch, and the like where a touch object touching the touch screen is touched on the touch sensor. Here, the touch object may be a finger, a touch pen, a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like as an object to which a touch is applied to the touch sensor.

Thus, when there is a touch input to the touch sensor, the corresponding signal (s) is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal (s) and transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. Thus, the control unit 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched or the like. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component from the control unit 180, and may be the control unit 180 itself.

On the other hand, the control unit 180 may perform different controls or perform the same control according to the type of the touch object touching the touch screen (or a touch key provided on the touch screen). Whether to perform different controls or to perform the same control according to the type of the touch object may be determined according to the current state of the mobile terminal 100 or an application program being executed.

On the other hand, the touch sensors and the proximity sensors discussed above can be used independently or in combination to provide a short touch (touch), a long touch, a multi touch, a drag touch ), Flick touch, pinch-in touch, pinch-out touch, swipe touch, hovering touch, and the like. Touch can be sensed.

The ultrasonic sensor can recognize the position information of the object to be sensed by using ultrasonic waves. Meanwhile, the controller 180 can calculate the position of the wave generating source through the information sensed by the optical sensor and the plurality of ultrasonic sensors. The position of the wave source can be calculated using the fact that the light is much faster than the ultrasonic wave, that is, the time when the light reaches the optical sensor is much faster than the time the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. More specifically, the position of the wave generating source can be calculated using the time difference with the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the reference signal.

The camera 121 includes at least one of a camera sensor (for example, a CCD, a CMOS, etc.), a photo sensor (or an image sensor), and a laser sensor.

The camera 121 and the laser sensor may be combined with each other to sense a touch of the sensing object with respect to the three-dimensional stereoscopic image. The photosensor can be laminated to the display element, which is adapted to scan the movement of the object to be detected proximate to the touch screen. More specifically, the photosensor mounts photo diodes and TRs (Transistors) in a row / column and scans the contents loaded on the photosensor using an electrical signal that varies according to the amount of light applied to the photo diode. That is, the photo sensor performs coordinate calculation of the object to be sensed according to the amount of change of light, and position information of the object to be sensed can be obtained through the calculation.

The display unit 151 displays (outputs) information processed by the mobile terminal 100.

2 is a perspective view showing an example of a watch-type mobile terminal 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

2, a watch-type mobile terminal 200 includes a main body 201 having a display unit 251 and a band 202 connected to the main body 201 and configured to be worn on the wrist. In general, mobile terminal 200 may include features of mobile terminal 100 of Figures 1A-1C or similar features.

The main body 201 includes a case that forms an appearance. As shown, the case may include a first case 201a and a second case 201b that provide an internal space for accommodating various electronic components. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a single case may be configured to provide the internal space, so that a mobile terminal 200 of a unibody may be realized.

The watch-type mobile terminal 200 is configured to be capable of wireless communication, and the main body 201 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 251 may be disposed on the front surface of the main body 201 to output information and a touch sensor may be provided on the display unit 251 to implement the touch screen. The window 251a of the display unit 251 may be mounted on the first case 201a to form a front surface of the terminal body together with the first case 201a.

The main body 201 may include an audio output unit 252, a camera 221, a microphone 222, a user input unit 223, and the like. When the display unit 251 is implemented as a touch screen, the display unit 251 may function as a user input unit 223, so that the main body 201 may not have a separate key.

The band 202 is worn on the wrist so as to surround the wrist, and may be formed of a flexible material for easy wearing. As an example, the band 202 may be formed of leather, rubber, silicone, synthetic resin, or the like. In addition, the band 202 may be detachably attached to the main body 201, and may be configured to be replaceable by various types of bands according to the user's preference.

On the other hand, the band 202 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 202 may be provided with a fastener 202a. The fastener 202a 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 202a is embodied as a buckle is shown.

For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the mobile terminal according to the present invention is a watch type as shown in Fig. In addition, it is assumed that a watch-type mobile terminal (hereinafter referred to as a watch-type terminal) according to the present invention includes at least a part of the components shown in Figs. 1A to 1C. For example, it is assumed that the watch-type terminal according to the present invention includes a wireless communication unit 110, a display unit 151, a memory 170, and a controller 180 among the components shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C.

Currently commercially available watch type terminals are generally used in pairs with other terminals (e.g., bar type smart phones). For example, if a watch type terminal and a bar type smart phone are paired based on Bluetooth communication, the watch type terminal outputs data (for example, weather information, schedule information or call log) A control signal for remotely controlling the phone can be transmitted to the smart phone. In addition, when an event such as a call from a smart phone or an alarm time that the current time is registered in the smart phone occurs, feedback for notifying the occurrence of an event in the bar-type smart phone May be output.

However, the watch-type terminal does not necessarily have to be used in cooperation with other terminals. The watch type terminal may be used independently without being linked to other terminals. For example, the watch type terminal may directly output the data transmitted or received through communication with the server, or may output the event generated in the watch type terminal (e.g., a call is made to the watch type terminal or the current time is registered in the watch type terminal The alarm time is reached, etc.).

The hour hand and minute hand for basically informing the current time can be displayed through the display unit 151 of the watch type terminal. Of course, in addition to the hour hand and minute hand, a second hand indicating the time in seconds may be displayed. The hour, minute and second hands can be distinguished by length and width, respectively.

For example, FIG. 3 shows an example in which an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second hand are output through the display unit 151. As in the example shown in FIG. 3 (a), the bar 310 corresponding to the hour hand may be set to have a shorter length than the bar 320 corresponding to the minute hand. In addition, the bar 330 corresponding to the second hand may be set narrower than the bar 310 corresponding to the hour hand 310 and the bar 320 corresponding to the minute hand.

The control unit 180 may adjust the position of the hour hand 310 or the minute hand 320 based on the touch input to which the pointer touching the hour hand 310 or the minute hand 320 is dragged and moved. 3 (b), when the touch input to which the pointer touching the minute hand 320 is dragged in the clockwise direction is received, the control unit 180 controls the dragging movement locus of the pointer And the minute hand 320 can be adjusted.

When the position of the minute hand 320 is changed by the drag input of the user, the position of the hour hand 310 can also be automatically changed. For example, when the minute hand 320 rotates in the clockwise direction by the drag input of the user, the hour hand 310 will also slowly rotate clockwise. 3 (b), as the minute hand 320 rotates in the clockwise direction for 30 minutes, the hour hand 310 is also illustrated as being rotated to the middle region at 9:00 and 10:00. That is, the position of the hour hand 310 may be automatically adjusted in accordance with the movement of the minute hand 320, in accordance with the mechanism of movement of the hour hand 310 and the minute hand 320 in the actual clock.

The control unit 180 may move the hour hand and the minute hand simultaneously in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction. For example, if the two pointers touching the hour hand and the minute hand move in the clockwise direction or the counterclockwise direction, respectively, the controller 180 adjusts the position of the hour hand based on the movement of the pointer touching the hour hand among the two pointers, The position of the minute hand can be adjusted based on the movement of the pointer.

The watch-type terminal according to the present invention may display the hour hand and the minute hand on the display unit 151 or change the display position of the hour hand and the minute hand based on the touch input of the user.

For example, FIG. 4 shows an example in which an hour hand and a minute hand are displayed based on a touch input of a user.

A pointer that touches an arbitrary position on the display unit 151 is dragged and moved toward the center of the display unit 151 and a first drag input that is moved to the center of the display unit 151 The control unit 180 turns on the display unit 151 and displays the second drag input on the basis of the movement path of the first drag input while turning on the display unit 151. In the case where the moved pointer is dragged toward the outside of the display unit 151, And display the minute hand based on the movement path of the second drag input.

Here, the state where the display unit 151 is turned off means that the illumination for illuminating the display unit 151 is off. No information or graphic image is output on the display unit 151 when the display unit 151 is turned off. Conversely, when the display unit 151 is turned on (or activated), it may mean that the illumination for illuminating the display unit 151 is on. When the display unit 151 is turned on, information or a graphic image may be output under the control of the controller 180. [

As shown in FIG. 4A, when the pointer touching the 9 o'clock direction is moved from the center of the display unit 151 to the first drag input for dragging toward the center of the display unit 151 at 12 o'clock The controller 180 moves the hour hand 410 toward 9 o'clock along the locus of the first drag input, as in the example shown in Fig. 4 (b) And display the minute hand 420 toward 12 o'clock along the locus of the second drag input.

When the first drag input and the second drag input are received while the display unit 151 is on, the control unit 180 determines whether the hour hand 410 and the minute hand 340 are on the basis of the first drag input and the second drag input, (420). In this case, the hour hand 410 and the minute hand 420 may be overlaid on the information output through the display unit 151. [

The position of the hour hand may not exactly coincide with the travel path of the first drag input. For example, even if the trajectory of the first drag input passes from the first point of the 9 o'clock direction to the second point of the center of the display unit 151, the second drag input is shifted from the third point of the 6 o'clock direction to the second point , The position of the hour hand may be located near the center of 9 o'clock and 10 o'clock. That is, the position of the hour hand may be automatically adjusted according to the mechanism of the hour hand and the minute hand movement in an actual clock.

In the illustrated example, the first drag input and the second drag input may be successively input. That is, if a drag input is received from a first point located at 9 o'clock direction, a second point located near the center of the display unit 151 and a third point located at 12 o'clock direction, The hour hand is outputted by dragging and the minute hand can be outputted by dragging and moving the pointer from the second point to the third point.

Contrary to the illustrated example, the control unit 180 may display the minute hand based on the movement path of the first drag input and output the hour hand based on the movement path of the second drag input.

In the example described above, it is illustrated that the hour hand and the minute hand are displayed in response to a touch input (for example, a first drag input and a second drag input) received when the display unit 151 is off.

When the touch input (e.g., the first drag input and the second drag input) is received while the hour hand and the minute hand are being displayed through the display unit 151, the control unit 180 displays the touch input in response to the touch input , The position of the hour hand and the minute hand may be changed.

For example, when the hour hand and the minute hand are pointing at 10:30, a pointer that touches the 9 o'clock direction moves from the center of the display unit 151 to the first drag input and the first drag input to move toward the center of the display unit 151 When the second drag input moving toward the 12 o'clock direction is received, the control unit 180 adjusts its position so that the hour hand points to the 9 o'clock direction and adjusts its position so that the minute hand points to the 12 o'clock direction .

When the hour hand and the minute hand are displayed on the basis of the touch input of the user, the control unit 180 sets the current time and the current time so that the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand can be compared with the current time, as in the example shown in FIG. Can be controlled so that the hour and minute hands indicating the hour and minute hands are further output. Here, the hour hand and the minute hand indicating the current time may be visually distinguished from the hour hand and the minute hand output by the touch input of the user. For example, the hour and minute hands indicating the current time may be set to different colors, transparency, and length from the hour and minute hands output by the user's touch input. Accordingly, the user can easily distinguish between the two pairs of hour hand and minute hand on the display unit 151.

However, for convenience of drawing, the hour and minute hands indicating the present time are not shown in the drawings described later.

When the trajectory of the first drag input indicates the boundary of the specific hour, the controller 180 controls the controller 180 so that a menu for confirming the time zone selected by the user is output to clarify the direction of the trajectory of the first drag input can do.

For example, FIG. 5 shows an example in which a menu for selecting a time is output.

5 (a), when the pointer receives a first drag input that is dragged from the boundary of 7 o'clock to the center of the display unit 151, As in the example shown in the figure, a menu for clarifying whether the time selected by the user is 7 o'clock or 6 o'clock can be controlled to be outputted.

When 6 o'clock is selected in the menu shown, the controller 180 can adjust the position of the hour hand to indicate 6 o'clock. Alternatively, if 7 o'clock is selected in the menu, the control unit 180 may adjust the position of the hour hand to indicate 7 o'clock.

In FIG. 5 (c), as the touch input for touching the 7 o'clock on the menu is received, the hour hand 510 indicating 7 o'clock is displayed as being displayed.

When the trajectory of the second drag input is directed to the boundary between the number and the number from the center of the display unit 151, the control unit 180 can control the minute hand to point to a specific number.

For example, FIG. 6 shows an example in which the minute hand moves to point to a certain number.

6 (a), when the pointer receives a second drag input that is dragged from the center of the display unit 151 to the boundary between 12 o'clock and 1 o'clock, it is possible to control the candidate minute hands 620a and 620b directed to 12 o'clock and 1 o'clock to be outputted as in the example shown in b).

If any one of the candidate minute hand is selected, the control unit 180 can control the minute hand 610 to move to the position of the selected minute hand. For example, when the touch input is received that the pointer touching the minute hand touches the 1 o'clock, the control unit 180 can display the minute hand toward 1 o'clock. Alternatively, when the touch input is received that the pointer moves to the 12 o'clock side, the controller 180 may display the minute hand toward 12 o'clock. Thus, by setting the minute hand to point to a particular number, it will be possible to select the time in units of five minutes.

In addition to the minute hand, the hour hand may be set to move toward a particular number on the watch.

In the example described above, the hour hand and the minute hand are outputted by the drag input. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. As another example, the control unit 180 may output the hour hand and the minute hand according to the touch input touching the display unit 151 or the user's voice.

For example, FIG. 7 shows another example in which the hour hand and the minute hand are displayed.

As in the example shown in FIG. 7A, when a first touch input touching a first point at 9 o'clock direction and a second touch input touching a second point at 12 o'clock direction are received, the controller 180 ) Displays the hour hand 710 from the center of the display unit 151 toward 9 o'clock in response to the first touch input, as in the example shown in Fig. 7 (b) The minute hand 720 facing the 12 o'clock direction can be displayed from the center of the display unit 151 in response.

The watch-type terminal according to the present invention will be described in detail based on the above description.

<Display of information related to time>

When a change is made to the output of the hour hand and the minute hand, the control unit 180 can control to output information related to the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand.

For example, FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a watch-type terminal according to the present invention.

First, when a touch input is received through the display unit 151 in step S810, the control unit 180 outputs an hour hand or a minute hand through the display unit 151 in response to the touch input, The position can be changed (S820).

Thereafter, the control unit 180 may control the display unit 151 to output information related to the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand (S830).

Here, the time-related information output through the display unit 151 may include weather, a missed call record, a schedule, an alarm, and a coupon. At this time, the time-related information output through the display unit 151 may be received from another terminal interlocked with the watch-type terminal, or may be stored in the watch-type terminal. In another example, the watch-type terminal may output the time-related information received from the server through the display unit 151. [

With reference to the embodiments described below, an example in which information related to the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand is outputted will be described in detail.

9 is a diagram showing an example in which weather information corresponding to the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand is outputted.

When the touch input in which the pointer touching the hour hand is dragged in the clockwise direction or the counterclockwise direction is received while the hour hand and the minute hand are output through the display unit 151, The output position can be controlled to be adjusted.

9 (a), when the user input for moving the pointer by dragging in the clockwise direction is received, the controller 180 causes the hour hand to rotate clockwise also along the pointer Can be controlled.

When the hour hand moves in the clockwise direction, the control unit 180 can control so that the weather information of the indicated time zone is outputted as the hour hand moves.

For example, in Figures 9 (a) and 9 (b), due to the movement of the hour hand, the hour and minute hands are illustrated as indicating 11 o'clock and changing to 3 o'clock. The control unit 180 can control so that the weather information expected at 3 o'clock is output as in the example shown in Fig. 9 (c) as the hour hand and the minute hand are changed to indicate 3 o'clock.

At this time, when the hour hand rotates in the clockwise direction, the control unit 180 outputs the weather information of the future with respect to the current time, and controls the weather information of the past to be outputted when the hour hand rotates counterclockwise .

For example, when the hour hand and minute hand indicate 11:00 am, if the hour hand rotates clockwise and the hour hand and the minute hand indicate 3:00, the control unit 180 displays the predicted weather information at 3:00 pm, Can be controlled. If the hour hand rotates clockwise and then indicates 3 o'clock, the control unit 180 will be able to output the weather information at 3 o'clock in the morning of the next day.

As another example, if the hour hand and minute hand indicate 11:00 am and the hour hand rotates counterclockwise so that the hour hand and minute hand indicate 3 o'clock, the control unit 180 displays the weather information of 3:00 am Can be controlled. If the hour hand rotates one time in the counterclockwise direction to indicate 3 o'clock, the control unit 180 will be able to output the weather information of 3 o'clock the previous day.

The weather information corresponding to the time indicated by the changed hour hand and minute hand may be outputted not only when the hour hand moves in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction but also when the minute hand moves in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

10 is a diagram showing an example in which a missed call record is outputted as the hour and minute hands move.

When the touch input in which the pointer touching the hour hand is dragged and moved in the counterclockwise direction is received while the hour hand and the minute hand are being output, the control unit 180 sets the time Can be controlled to be outputted.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10A, when a touch input is received in which the pointer touching the hour hand moves in a counterclockwise direction, the controller 180 controls the output position of the hour hand along the pointer . For example, in FIG. 10 (a), as the pointer touching the hour hand indicating 9 o'clock is dragged to the position indicating 8 o'clock, it is illustrated that the hour and minute hands are changed to indicate 8 o'clock.

Then, the control unit 180 can control to output the out-of-office telephone call between the current time (i.e., 9 o'clock) and the past time indicated by the hour and minute hands (i.e., 8 o'clock).

In FIGS. 10B and 10C, after a message indicating the number of missed calls between the current time and the past time is outputted, detailed information of the missed call is outputted.

Even when the hour hand is dragged and moved in the counterclockwise direction, even when the minute hand is dragged in the counterclockwise direction, the first time point indicated by the first time and minute hands and the second time point indicated by the changed hour and minute hands, May be output.

(E.g., a text message, an instant message, and an e-mail), a history of reception of a message, etc. between the first time and the second time, as well as the silent and missed telephone records May be output.

11 is a diagram showing an example in which certain information is output as the hour hand and the minute hand move.

When the hour hand or the minute hand is dragged in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction, the control unit 180 may control the display unit 151 to output the predetermined information corresponding to the changed time.

11 (a), if the hour hand and the minute hand indicate 11 o'clock as the pointer touching the hour hand is dragged in the clockwise direction, the control unit 180 displays the the schedule information registered at 11:00 pm, which is the future time point with respect to the time indicated by the first hour hand and the minute hand (assuming 9:00 pm), to be output, as in the example shown in FIG.

When the hour hand or the minute hand moves by 12 o'clock in the morning, the control unit 180 controls the display unit 151 to output date information indicating that the hour hand or the hour hand has been changed to a new date . For example, in the example shown in FIG. 11 (b), when the pointer touching the hour hand indicating 11 o'clock is dragged in the clockwise direction and the hour hand passes 12 o'clock, As in the example shown in c), it is possible to control so that date information indicating that the hour indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand indicates the time when one day has elapsed is output. Thereafter, when the hour hand rotates further clockwise to indicate 8:00 am, the control unit 180 controls the schedule information registered at 8:00 am on the next day to be outputted as in the example shown in FIG. 11 (d) It will be possible.

Although not shown, if the hour hand rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the controller 180 may output the past schedule information relative to the current time. In addition, not only when the hour hand has moved but also when the minute hand moves clockwise or counterclockwise, the schedule information registered at the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand may be output.

12 is a diagram showing an example in which usable coupon information is outputted as the hour hand and the minute hand move.

When the hour hand or the minute hand is dragged in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction and the time indicated by the hour hand before and after the minute hand and the time indicated by the hour hand and minute hand after the change indicate different dates, The coupon information expiring on the date (or the coupon information expiring in a predetermined time) can be output.

First, in the example shown in FIG. 12A, it is assumed that the hour hand and the minute hand are in a state indicating 6:00 PM. In this state, if the pointer touching the hour hand moves past 12 o'clock while dragging clockwise, the hour and minute hands will indicate the morning time of the next day.

12 (b), when the hour hand and the minute hand are changed to indicate the morning of the next day, the control unit 180 causes the display unit 151 to display a coupon Information can be controlled to be outputted.

In FIGS. 12C and 12D, a message indicating that a coupon that expires on the day prior to the change shown in FIG. 12 is output, and then a list of coupons scheduled to expire is output.

Unlike in the example shown in FIG. 12, the control unit 180 may output a list of coupons that expire on a date after the change. In addition, although FIG. 12 illustrates that the coupon list is output when the time indicated by the hour and minute hands after the change indicates a date that is different from the time indicated by the hour hand before change and the minute hand, the time indicated by the hour hand and minute hand The coupon list may be output when the hour hand and the minute hand indicate a predetermined time or more from the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand.

In the above-described embodiments, when the position of the hour hand or the minute hand is changed by the touch input, it is exemplified that weather information, missed call information, schedule information, coupon information, and the like are outputted.

Alternatively, when a predetermined touch input is received while the display unit 151 is off, the control unit 180 outputs the hour and minute hands, and generates schedule information, weather information, or time information corresponding to the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand, The telephone records of missed calls, and the like can be output.

For example, FIG. 13 shows another example in which the schedule information indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand is outputted.

When a predetermined touch input for outputting the hour hand and the minute hand is received while the display unit 151 is off, the control unit 180 can control the hour and minute hands to be output based on the touch input.

13A, a first drag input from the 9 o'clock direction toward the center of the display portion 151, and a second drag input from the center of the display portion 151 toward the 12 o'clock direction from the center of the display portion 151, as in the example shown in Fig. When the drag input is input, the control unit 180 can control the hour and hour hands toward 9 o'clock and 12 o'clock as shown in FIG. 13 (b).

Then, as in the example shown in FIG. 13C, the control unit 180 can control to output the schedule registered at 9 o'clock indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand. Generally, the control unit 180 can control the schedule to be registered in the future time zone indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand compared to the current time, considering that the user's interest in the future schedule is higher than the past schedule.

At this time, the controller 180 may determine whether the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand indicates AM or PM, based on the remaining time with the current time. For example, if the current time is 10:00 am and the hour and minute hands indicating 3:00 are output, the controller 180 determines that the minute and hour hands are in the afternoon It can be judged to indicate 3 o'clock.

As described above with reference to FIG. 11, when a touch input is received in which the pointer touching at least one of the hour hand and the minute hand outputted based on the touch input of the user is dragged in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction, May be output.

13, it is exemplified that the schedule information registered at the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand is outputted. However, instead of the schedule information, weather information corresponding to the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand, or weather information corresponding to the time point indicated by the hour hand, A record may be output.

When there is another schedule which is started or terminated within a predetermined time from the schedule information currently being output when the schedule information is being output, the control unit 180 displays a search button 151 for searching previous or next schedule through the display unit 151 Can be controlled to be outputted.

For example, FIG. 14 shows an example in which a search button is output. There is a next schedule to be started within a predetermined time from the previous schedule ending within a predetermined time from the starting point of the schedule information being outputted or the end point of the schedule information being outputted in a state in which the schedule registered at the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand is being output In this case, the controller 180 may control the search buttons 1410a and 1410b to search for the previous schedule or the next schedule, as in the example shown in FIG. 14 (a). A button 1410a displayed on the left side of the display unit 151 in FIG 14A is for searching a schedule before a current schedule being output and a button 1410b displayed on the right side of the display unit 151, May be used to search for the next schedule relative to the currently displayed schedule.

When the previous button is output, the previous schedule is outputted as compared with the current schedule, and when the next button is output, the next schedule can be outputted as compared with the current schedule.

At this time, the controller 180 can automatically change the positions of the hour hand and the minute hand to indicate an arbitrary position between the start time, the end time, the start time, or the end time of the previous schedule or the next schedule.

For example, when the search button 1410b for searching the next schedule of the currently outputted schedule (the schedule starting from 8:00 and ending at 10:00 is illustrated as being outputted in FIG. 14 (a)) is touched, The control unit 180 can control to output the next schedule as in the example shown in FIG. 14 (b). At this time, the control unit 180 may cause the hour hand and the minute hand to point to any position between the start time, the end time, and the start time or end time of the next constant schedule.

For example, in FIG. 14B, it is illustrated that the position of the hour hand 1420 and the minute hand 1430 are adjusted in accordance with the following predetermined start time (exemplified at 11:00).

If a predetermined touch input is received while the schedule information is being output, the control unit 180 may enter an edit mode for editing schedule information currently being output. When the user adjusts the positions of the hour hand and the minute hand in the state of entering the edit mode, the control unit 180 can change a predetermined start time or end time according to the positions of the changed hour hand and minute hand.

For example, FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the watch-type terminal under the edit mode.

As in the example shown in FIG. 15A, when predetermined information is input, a predetermined touch input (for example, a long touch input for touching an empty space where certain information is not displayed for a predetermined time or longer) The control unit 180 can control the watch type terminal to enter the edit mode.

When entering the editing mode, the control unit 180 can control so that the start time of the current output is changed. When the start time can be changed, the control unit 180 can control the hour hand and the minute hand to indicate a predetermined start time. For example, since the start time of a kind before change is 8 o'clock, the control unit 180 can display the hour hand and the minute hand to face 8 o'clock and 12 o'clock, respectively.

When the completion button (for example, the start button 1510 shown in FIG. 15 (b)) is touched after the position of at least one of the hour hand and the minute hand is changed with the start time being changeable, ) Can change the start time of the schedule by the time indicated by the position of the changed hour hand and minute hand. For example, in (b) of FIG. 15, since the hour hand and the minute hand indicate 9 o'clock, the predetermined start time will be changed to 9 o'clock.

When the change of the start time is completed, the control unit 180 can control so that a certain end time can be changed. When the end time can be changed, the control unit 180 can control the hour hand and the minute hand to indicate a predetermined end time. For example, since the end time of the constant before the change is 10 o'clock, the control unit 180 can display the hour hand and the minute hand toward 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock, respectively.

When the completion button (for example, the end button 1520 shown in (c) of FIG. 15) is touched after the position of at least one of the hour hand and the minute hand is changed in a state in which the end time can be changed, ) Can change the fixed end time by the time indicated by the position of the changed hour hand and minute hand. For example, in FIG. 15 (c), the hour hand and the minute hand indicate 11 o'clock, so that the predetermined end time will be changed to 11 o'clock.

In FIG. 15 (d), as a result of the schedule editing, it is illustrated that the predetermined start time is changed to 9:00 and the fixed end time is changed to 11:00.

When a predetermined touch input is received, the controller 180 may display the remaining time information from the current time to the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand while outputting the hour hand and the minute hand.

For example, FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example in which remaining time information is output.

When a predetermined touch input for outputting the hour hand and the minute hand is received while the display unit 151 is off, the control unit 180 can control the hour and minute hands to be output based on the touch input.

16A, a first drag input from the 9 o'clock direction toward the center of the display unit 151 and a second drag input from the center of the display unit 151 toward the 12 o'clock direction from the center of the display unit 151, When the drag input is input, the control unit 180 can control the hour hand directed to 9 o'clock and the minute hand directed to the 12 o'clock direction to be output as in the example shown in Fig. 16 (b).

Then, the control unit 180 can control to output the remaining time information from the current time to the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand, as in the example shown in (c) of FIG. For example, when the current time is 8 o'clock, the controller 180 may control to output the remaining time information 1610 indicating that 1 hour is left until the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand.

As in the example shown in the Figures, time-related information may be overlayed on the hour hand and the minute hand. The control unit 180 may control the hour and minute hands so that the output of the hour hand and the minute hand is stopped when a predetermined time elapses since the time related information is output. As another example, when the touch input for touching the display unit 151 is received while the time-related information is being output, the control unit 180 stops the output of the hour hand and the minute hand, When the touch input for re-touching the display unit 151 is received, the output of the hour hand and the minute hand may be controlled to be resumed.

<Add time-related settings>

When a predetermined touch input is received while the hour hand and the minute hand are being output, the control unit 180 may add settings related to the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand.

For example, FIG. 17 is a view for explaining an operational flow diagram of a watch-type terminal according to the present invention.

First, when a touch input is received through the display unit 151 in step S1710, the control unit 180 outputs an hour hand or a minute hand through the display unit 151 in response to the touch input, The position can be changed (S1720).

Thereafter, the control unit 180 may add settings related to the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand through the display unit 151 (S1730).

Here, the city association setting may include a timer, an interruption mode, an alarm, a schedule or an application end time, and the like. With reference to the drawings described below, an example in which a setting associated with the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand is added will be described in detail.

18 is a diagram showing an example in which a schedule or alarm corresponding to the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand is added.

11 and 13, it is exemplified that the schedule information registered at the time indicated by the minute hand and the hour hand is outputted. If there is no schedule registered at the time indicated by the minute hand and the hour hand, no schedule will be output on the display unit 151. [

For example, in FIG. 18A, a message indicating that there is no schedule registered at the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand is displayed on the display unit 151. In this state, when the touch input (for example, a long touch input for touching any one of the hour hand or the minute hand for a predetermined time or longer) for touching either the hour hand or the minute hand is received, You can add a new schedule or alarm in time.

18 (a), when the touch input for touching the minute hand is received, the control unit 180 determines whether an alarm or an event (for example, And a selection menu 1810 for selecting which to add.

When the alarm item is touched in the selection menu 1810, the control unit 180 can add an alarm at the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand.

When a calendar item among the selection menus is touched, the controller 180 may add a schedule with the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand as the start time.

At this time, the control unit 180 can automatically set a predetermined end time. For example, the control unit 180 may set a predetermined end time one hour after the start time. As another example, the control unit 180 can control the user to set a predetermined end time to be newly registered while adding a schedule for setting the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand to the start time. If the completion button is touched after the position of at least one of the hour hand and the minute hand is changed in a state where the end time can be set, the control unit 180 can set the time point indicated by the changed hour hand and minute hand to a predetermined end time will be. The ending time setting method has been described in detail with reference to FIG. 15, so that a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example in which a timer expires at the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand.

In the state where the hour hand and the minute hand are being output, when the touch input in which the pointer touching the hour hand or the minute hand is dragged in the clockwise direction is received, the control unit 180 sets the output position of the hour hand or the minute hand in response to the touch input by the user Can be changed.

Then, the control unit 180 can start a timer that starts at the time point (or the current time point) indicated by the hour hand before and after the minute hand, and expires at the time indicated by the hour hand and minute hand after the change.

For example, in FIGS. 19 (a) to 19 (c), as the minute hand pointing at 12 o'clock moves to point at 1 o'clock, it is illustrated that a timer expires after 5 minutes.

Alternatively, when a predetermined touch input is received while the display unit 151 is off, the control unit 180 may display the hour hand and the minute hand at a position instructed by the touch input while turning on the display unit 151 have. In this case, the control unit 180 may start a timer that starts at the current time and expires at the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand.

When the timer expires, the control unit 180 may output feedback indicating that the timer has expired. The feedback may be in the form of an alarm sound, vibration, or a message output through the display unit 151.

20 is a diagram showing an example in which the disturbance prohibiting mode is set until the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand.

When the pointer touching at least one of the hour hand and the minute hand is dragged in the clockwise direction, the control unit 180 can control the disturbance prohibition mode to be set until the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand. 20A, when a drag input in which two pointers touching the hour hand and the minute hand respectively are dragged in a clockwise direction is received, the control unit 180 controls the movement of the two pointers The position of the hour hand and the minute hand can be adjusted.

When the positions of the minute hand and the hour hand are changed, the control unit 180 can control the mobile terminal to be set in the disturbance prohibiting mode until the time indicated by the changed hour hand and minute hand. For example, in FIG. 20 (b), a message including period information set in the disturbance prohibiting mode is illustrated as being output.

Here, the disturbance prohibited mode may mean a state in which the reception notification output of characters, telephone, etc. is limited. That is, under the disturbance prohibited mode, even if a telephone call is made to the mobile terminal, the ringing sound or vibration may not be output.

Alternatively, when a predetermined touch input is received while the display unit 151 is off, the control unit 180 may display the hour hand and the minute hand at a position instructed by the touch input while turning on the display unit 151 have. In this case, the controller 180 can set the mobile terminal to the disturbance prohibition mode from the current time to the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand.

Thereafter, if the current time exceeds the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand, the control unit 180 may terminate the disturbance prohibited mode.

In addition to the disturbance prohibited mode, the control unit 180 may control the set value of the mobile terminal to be maintained until the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hands. For example, the control unit 180 may set the watch-type terminal to the vibration mode or the airplane mode from the present time to the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand, or may set Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GPS Or the like can be controlled so as to be maintained in the ON state (or OFF state).

Then, when the current time exceeds the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand, the control unit 180 ends the vibration mode or the airplane mode, or the communication module such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GPS is turned off Quot; state &quot;).

<Application control>

If a predetermined touch input is received while the hour hand and the minute hand are being output, the control unit 180 may execute a control command for controlling an application running on the other terminal in cooperation with the watch type terminal or the watch type terminal.

For example, FIG. 21 is a view for explaining an operation flow diagram of a watch-type terminal according to the present invention.

First, it is assumed that a predetermined application is running through another terminal interlocked with a watch-type terminal or a watch-type terminal.

When the touch input is received through the display unit 151 in step S2110, the control unit 180 outputs the hour hand or the minute hand through the display unit 151 in response to the touch input, (S2120).

Thereafter, the control unit 180 processes a control command for an application being executed through the watch-type terminal based on the touch input to the hour hand or the minute hand, or transmits a control command for remotely controlling an application running through the other terminal, (S2130).

For example, FIG. 22 shows an example in which the content output by the movement of the hour hand or the minute hand is changed.

If an application is running through another terminal associated with a watch-type terminal or a watch-type terminal, an execution screen of the application can be output through the display unit 151. [ At this time, the hour hand and the minute hand may be overlaid on the execution screen of the application.

For example, in FIG. 22 (a), the photographer's hand 2210 and the minute hand 2220 output through the gallery application for photograph confirmation are overlaid.

When the hour hand or the minute hand moves in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction by the touch input while the specific content is being output, the control unit 180 can control to output the content of the next or the next sequential order based on the specific content standard .

For example, as in the example shown in FIG. 22 (b), when a touch input for dragging the minute hand in the clockwise direction is received, the control unit 180 displays, in response to the touch input, It is possible to control so that a photograph of the order number (or the previous order number) is outputted.

Although not shown, if a touch input for dragging the minute hand in a counterclockwise direction is received, the control unit 180 outputs a picture having a previous order (or a next order) And so on.

In FIG. 22, it is exemplified that the next or previous sequential content of the current output content can be outputted in response to the touch input for moving the minute hand. However, in response to the touch input for moving the hour hand, The content of the next or previous sequence may be output.

As another example, in response to the touch input for rotating either the hour hand or the minute hand, the control unit 180 changes the archive folder of the content, and in response to the touch input for rotating the other one, .

For example, if there is a folder 1, a folder 2, and a folder 3 storing photographs on the device, the content in the folder 1 is output in response to the touch input for rotating the hour hand, Or the content in the folder 3 is output. In response to the touch input for rotating the minute hand, the content in the next or previous sequential number of the content currently being output in the folder 1 can be controlled to be output.

Here, the content of the previous or next sequence may be determined on the basis of the sequence when the contents are sorted based on the generation time, the modification time, or the name.

In the example shown in FIG. 22, the description has been made on the basis of the photo content, but the present invention can also be applied to changing the content output of music, moving images, documents, and the like.

The control unit 180 may control the background screen to be changed in response to the touch input for rotating either the hour hand or the minute hand.

For example, FIG. 23 shows an example in which the background screen of a watch-type terminal is changed.

23 (a), when the touch input in which two pointers touching the hour hand and the minute hand respectively are dragged in the clockwise direction or the counterclockwise direction is received, , It is possible to control the background screen of the display unit 151 to be changed.

In response to the touch input for rotating the hour hand or the minute hand, the control unit 180 changes the reproducible content such as music or moving picture and the like in response to the touch input. The playback time may be changed.

For example, when a touch input for rotating the hour hand is received, the control unit 180 outputs the previous or next sequential content of the currently outputting content in response to the touch input, whereas when the touch input for rotating the minute hand is received , And to control the fast forwarding or rewinding operation of the currently reproduced content to be executed.

In performing the fast forwarding or rewinding operation, the control unit 180 may control the reproduction time of the content to be changed by the time changed by the hour hand and the minute hand.

For example, FIG. 24 shows an example in which the reproduction time of the reproducible content is changed.

When the touch input for rotating the minute hand in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction is received while the content is being reproduced, the controller 180 can change the playback point of the content in response to the touch input. For example, when the touch input for rotating the minute hand in the clockwise direction is received, the control unit 180 performs a fast forward operation in response to the touch input and receives a touch input for rotating the minute hand in the counterclockwise direction , And can perform a rewinding operation in response to the touch input.

At this time, the control unit 180 may control the reproduction time to move by the changed time due to the movement of the minute hand.

For example, if the minute hand rotates by 5 minutes in the clockwise direction, the controller 180 can control the playback time to move back five minutes. 24 (a) and 24 (b), as the minute hand of the watch-type terminal 200 rotates clockwise by 5 minutes, the reproduction time 110 of the moving picture being reproduced in the bar- It has been illustrated as changed backward.

When the touch input for displaying the hour hand and the minute hand is received while the application is being executed through the watch-type terminal or the other terminal interlocked with the watch-type terminal, the control unit 180 determines whether the hour and minute hands You can set the end time to end the application.

For example, FIG. 25 shows an example in which an application is scheduled to be terminated at a time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand.

When the touch input for outputting the hour hand and the minute hand is received while the application is being executed through the other terminal associated with the watch type terminal or the watch type terminal, It is possible to control the time and hour hands on the execution screen to be overlaid. 4, if the first drag input and the second drag input are received, the control unit 180 outputs the hour hand by the first drag input, and the hour hand is output by the second drag input, . &Lt; / RTI &gt;

If the execution screen of the application is being output through the display unit 151, the control unit 180 causes the hour and minute hands on the application execution screen to be overlaid so that the hour and minute hands are displayed on the application execution screen, as in the example shown in FIG. Control.

The control unit 180 can set the application to be terminated at the time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand. For example, in FIG. 25A, the hour hand and the minute hand indicate 2:30, so that the control unit 180 can set the current running application to end at 2:30.

In addition, the controller 180 may output remaining time information from the current time to the end time, as in the example shown in FIG. 25 (b). In FIG. 25 (b), after 1 hour and 30 minutes, a message to guide the end of the application is output.

Thereafter, if the current time reaches the set end time, the control unit 180 can control the application to be terminated. In addition, the control unit 180 may control the mobile terminal to enter the power saving mode while the application is terminated. When the mobile terminal enters the power save mode, the display unit 151 will be set to the off state, as in the example shown in FIG. 25 (c).
