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 senses 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, do.
For example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in a pressure applied to a specific portion of the touch screen or a capacitance generated in a specific portion to an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect a position, an area, a pressure at the time of touch, a capacitance at the time of touch, and the like where a touch object touching the touch screen is touched on the touch sensor. Here, the touch object may be a finger, a touch pen, a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like as an object to which a touch is applied to the touch sensor.
Thus, when there is a touch input to the touch sensor, the corresponding signal (s) is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal (s) and transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. Thus, the control unit 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched or the like. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component from the control unit 180, and may be the control unit 180 itself.
On the other hand, the control unit 180 may perform different controls or perform the same control according to the type of the touch object touching the touch screen (or a touch key provided on the touch screen). Whether to perform different controls or to perform the same control according to the type of the touch object may be determined according to the current state of the mobile terminal 100 or an application program being executed.

Touch can be sensed.
The ultrasonic sensor can recognize the position information of the object to be sensed by using ultrasonic waves. Meanwhile, the controller 180 can calculate the position of the wave generating source through the information sensed by the optical sensor and the plurality of ultrasonic sensors. The position of the wave source can be calculated using the fact that the light is much faster than the ultrasonic wave, that is, the time when the light reaches the optical sensor is much faster than the time the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. More specifically, the position of the wave generating source can be calculated using the time difference with the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the reference signal.
The camera 121 includes at least one of a camera sensor (for example, a CCD, a CMOS, etc.), a photo sensor (or an image sensor), and a laser sensor.

The 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.

Meanwhile, the terminal system according to the present invention includes a watch-type terminal body and a cradle for supplying power to the watch-type terminal body. Hereinafter, the cradle will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
3A and 3B are front and rear perspective views of a cradle 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3C is a front perspective view showing only the case 410 except for the cover 420 of the cradle 400. FIG.
The cradle 400 according to the present invention includes a case 410 forming an outer appearance of the cradle 400 and a cover 420 formed to be capable of opening and closing the case 410. Hereinafter, the case 410 and the cover 420 will be described in detail.
The case 410 may have a shape in which the upper plate 411 and the lower plate 412 form a space and are coupled to each other. The circuit board and various electronic components mounted on the circuit board may be accommodated in a space formed between the upper plate 411 and the lower plate 412.
The case 410 may be formed by forming the upper plate 411 and the lower plate 412, respectively, and then joining the edges of the upper plate 411 and the lower plate 412 with each other. Alternatively, the upper plate 411 and the lower plate 412 may be integrally formed.
The case 410 is formed to receive at least a portion of the watch body. Specifically, the case 410 may be formed to receive the body of the watch body. The upper plate 411 of the case 410 may be provided with a seating portion 413 on which the main body can be seated. The seating portion 413 is recessed to correspond to the shape of the watch body. Therefore, the main body can be stably stably mounted on the seat portion 413.
Although not shown, the first magnet may be disposed at a position corresponding to the seating portion 413 in the case 410. In this case, the second magnet is disposed on the rear surface of the watch body. Due to the attractive force generated between the first and second magnets, the watch-type terminal can be mounted more stably in the case 410.
The cover 420 is connected to one side of the case 410 and is rotatable. That is, the cover 420 is rotated around one side of the case 410. That is, at any time when the cover 420 is opened or closed, the cover 420 and one side of the case 410 remain connected.
When the cover 420 is opened, the other side facing the one side of the case 410 is opened with the cover 420. The terminal body can be drawn into the case 410 through the opened space.
On the other hand, an opening 421 is formed on the front surface of the cover 420. The display unit formed on the main body through the opening 421 may be exposed to the outside. In other words, even if the main body is housed in the case 410, the display portion is exposed to the outside through the opening portion 421. Therefore, while charging the terminal using the cradle 400, the user can use the terminal by touching the display unit.
On the inner surface of the cover 420, a guide rib 422 for restricting the terminal body is formed. Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 4A is a perspective view of a cradle 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4B is an enlarged view of a portion of FIG. 4A.
A portion of the guide rib 422 may be formed along the periphery of the opening 421 on the inner surface of the cover 420. The guide ribs 422 are formed to correspond to a part of the outer shape of the terminal main body. Accordingly, when the terminal body is seated in the seating portion 413 and the cover 420 is covered, the guide ribs 422 are inserted into or engaged with the guide grooves formed in the terminal body. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the terminal body 301 from flowing in the seating portion 413 in advance.
Referring to FIG. 4B, the guide rib 422 may be formed with a bent portion 422a. The bent portion 422a is disposed between the terminal body 301 and the gap. Therefore, when an external force is applied to one side of the cover 420 and the cover 420 is opened, the bent portion 422a is moved to the space where the gap is formed. Therefore, the cover 420 can be easily opened even when the terminal body is housed in the case 410.
Meanwhile, the elastic part 430 may be provided between the case 410 and the cover 420. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig.
5A to 5C are perspective views for explaining the arrangement relationship of the case 410, the cover 420 and the elastic portion 430. FIG. 5D is a conceptual diagram for explaining that the elastic portion 430 is deformed when the cover 420 is opened.
One end 432 of the elastic portion 430 contacts the case 410 and the other end 433 contacts the cover 420. [ The body 431 of the elastic part 430 connects the one end 432 to the other end 433.
The body 431 of the elastic portion 430 may be in the form of a spring. A space is formed inside the body 431, and a latching shaft 440 is disposed in the space. The space formed inside the body 431 has a substantially cylindrical shape. The inner diameter of the space is formed to be equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the retaining shaft 440, so that the retaining shaft 440 is stably disposed in the space.
One end 432 and the other end 433 of the elastic part 430 extend along the longitudinal direction of the body 431. One end 432 and the other end 433 of the elastic portion 430 are arranged parallel to each other.
5D, one end 432 and the other end 433 of the elastic portion 430 are formed so as to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. When an external force is applied to one side of the cover 420 to open the cover 420, the gap between the one end 432 and the other end 433 is narrowed. At this time, the other side opposite to the one side of the cover 420 is rotated in the direction (R1 direction) away from the case 410, and the cover 420 is opened.
Thereafter, when the external force is not applied any more, the one end 432 and the other end 433 are spaced apart from each other by a restoring force of the elastic portion 430. Therefore, the cover 420 is naturally switched from the open state to the closed state. In other words, the elastic portion 430 keeps the cover 420 in a closed state in a circular state. The elastic portion 430 is formed so that when the elastic deformation occurs due to an external force, the cover 420 is switched to the open state.
The latching shaft 440 extends in the longitudinal direction of the body 431 of the elastic portion 430. The latching shaft 440 is formed to be longer than the length of the body 431 so that the latching shaft 440 protrudes in both sides in a space formed inside the body 431. That is, both ends of the latching shaft 440 are disposed outside the space formed inside the body 431. Further, the latching shaft 440 is disposed on the space such that the lengths of both ends of the latching shaft 440 disposed outside the space are equal to or similar to each other.
The case 410 and the cover 420 are formed with first and second engaging portions 414 and 424 so as to be engaged with the engaging shaft 440. Specifically, the first and second fastening portions 414 and 424 are formed as a pair and are engaged with both ends of the fastening shaft 440.
Referring to FIGS. 5A and 5B, the first latching portion 414 is disposed inside the second latching portion 424 with respect to the longitudinal direction of the latching shaft 440. However, it is also possible that the second latching portion 424 is disposed inside the first latching portion 414.
A first latching groove 414a is formed on the inner side of the first latching portion 414 and a latching axis 440 is disposed on the upper side of the first latching groove 414a. The first latching portion 414 may be formed on the upper plate 411 of the case 410. In this case, a receiving portion 415 formed on the lower plate 412 of the case 410 may be disposed at the lower end of the first latching groove 414a. That is, the engaging shaft 440 can be stably disposed between the first engaging part 414 and the receiving part 415 on the first engaging groove 414a. The width of the receiving portion 415 is formed to correspond to the width of the first engaging portion 414 so that the receiving portion 415 does not interfere with the second engaging portion 424.
A second latching groove 424a is formed on the inner side of the second latching portion 424. The second latching groove 424a is formed to be larger than the cross-sectional area of the latching shaft 440. More specifically, the width of the second latching groove 424a is formed to correspond to the diameter of the latching shaft 440, so that the latching shaft 440 is allowed to move left and right in the second latching groove 424a prevent. The length of the second locking groove 424a is larger than the diameter of the locking shaft 440. Therefore, even after the engaging shaft 440 and the case 410 are assembled first, the engaging shaft 440 can be easily passed through the second engaging groove 424a. Therefore, the latching shaft 440, the case 410, and the cover 420 can be easily assembled without using an adhesive or a fastening means.
On the other hand, referring to FIG. 5C, a flow prevention portion 416 is disposed on one side of both ends of the latching shaft 440. Specifically, the flow preventing portion 416 may be formed on the lower plate 412 of the case 410, like the receiving portion 415. As shown in the figure, the receiving portion 415 and the flow preventing portion 416 may be formed integrally or separately.
The flow preventing portion 416 is disposed on the outer side of the first and second latching portions 414 and 424 with respect to the longitudinal direction of the latching shaft 440. The flow preventing portion 416 is formed so as to be in contact with the bottom surface of the latching shaft 440. Accordingly, the flow preventing portion 416 prevents the stopping shaft 440 from coming out of the first or second stopping grooves 414a, 424a, and the first and second stopping portions 414, So that the state held by the shaft 440 is maintained.
Hereinafter, the assembling procedure of the elastic portion 430, the latching shaft 440, the first latching portion 414, the second latching portion 424, and the flow prevention portion 416 will be described. The latching shaft 440 is inserted in the inner space of the elastic portion 430 in advance. Both ends of the latching shaft 440 are inserted into the first latching grooves 414a, respectively, so that the latching shaft 440 is caught by the first latching portions 414. The elastic portion 430 is inserted into the latching shaft 440 while one end of the latching shaft 440 is inserted into only one of the pair of first latching grooves 414a and then the other end of the latching shaft 440 It is also possible that the first latching groove 433 is inserted into the rest of the first latching grooves 414a. Then, both end portions of the latching shaft 440 are inserted into the second latching grooves 424a, respectively. The length of the second latching groove 424a is longer than the diameter of the latching shaft 440 so that the latching shaft 440 can be easily inserted into the second latching groove 424a. The stopper shaft 440 is firmly fixed between the cover 420 and the case 410 by disposing the flow preventing portions 416 at the outermost ends of the both ends of the stopping shaft 440.
The cradle 400 according to the present invention includes a connection terminal 450 for supplying power to a terminal body mounted on the case 410 and a protrusion 460 for protecting the connection terminal 450 from an external magnetic body. This will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
6A is an enlarged view of the connection terminal 450 and the protrusion 460 formed in the case 410 and FIG. 6B is a conceptual diagram for explaining the arrangement relationship of the connection terminal 450 and the protrusion 460. FIG.
The connection terminal 450 is formed in the case 410 and is connectable to the watch-type terminal body. Specifically, one end of the connection terminal 450 is exposed to the outside of the case 410, and the other end is formed inside the case 410. The other end of the connection terminal 450 may be connected to a circuit board disposed between the upper plate 411 and the lower plate 412.
At least two connection terminals 450 may be provided to perform the power supply function. That is, at least one of the connection terminals 450 serves as a (+) pole for the power supply function and the other serves as a (-) pole for the power supply function.
On the other hand, since one end of the connection terminal 450 is exposed to the outside of the case 410, there is a fear that an external magnetic material comes into contact with the connection terminal 450 and a short circuit is generated. Therefore, a protrusion 460 is formed around at least one of the connection terminals 450 to prevent contact with the external magnetic body.
The protrusion 460 is formed in the case 410 so as to surround at least a part of the periphery of the connection terminal 450. The projection 460 may be integrally formed with the upper plate 411 of the case 410 as shown in FIG. In the drawing, the protruding portion 460 is wrapped around the connection terminal 450 by 360 °. However, a slight gap may be formed on the side surface of the protrusion 460 so that the connection terminal is not completely wrapped.
6A, the protrusion 460 is applied to only one of the positive terminal (+) and the negative terminal (-) for the power supply function among the connection terminals 450. However, the present invention is not limited thereto , The protrusion 460 can be applied to both of the terminals.
Referring to FIG. 6B, the height of the connection terminal 450a is formed to be equal to or lower than the height of the protruding portion 460. If the connection terminal 450a is formed higher than the protrusion 460, the connection terminal 450a may be exposed to the outside of the protrusion 460, thereby causing contact with the external magnetic body.
On the other hand, it is preferable that one end P1 of the connection terminal is located between the inclined portions 461 formed at the end of the projecting portion 460. Specifically, an inclined portion 461 is formed at an end of the protruding portion 460. The inclined portion 461 is formed inside the protruding portion 460. Referring to FIG. 6B, the inclined portion 461 may be formed to have a height l1 to a height l2 in the longitudinal direction of the protruding portion 460. Accordingly, one end P1 of the connection terminal is preferably positioned between the above-mentioned elevations l1 and l2.
On the other hand, although not shown, elastic means such as a spring may be disposed on the lower end of the connection terminal 450a. If there is no external force on the connection terminal 450a, one end P1 of the connection terminal 450a is positioned between the inclined portions 461 as described above. When an external force is applied to the connection terminal 450a, the elastic means is compressed, and a part of the connection terminal 450a outside the case 410 enters the inside of the case 410.
Referring to FIG. 6B, when the watch body 410 is mounted on the case 410, the connection terminal 450a contacts the connection portion 360 formed on the watch body. Thus, the cradle 400 of the present invention can supply power to the watch-type terminal body through the connection terminal 450a and the connection portion 360. [
Referring to FIG. 6B, when the watch body is mounted on the case 410, a part of the connecting portion 360 enters the inside of the protrusion 460. At this time, the edge of the connection part 360 may be recessed to correspond to the shape of the inclined part 461. By hooking the edge of the connecting portion 360 to the inclined portion 461, the connecting portion 360 can enter the protruding portion 460 up to the height l2. Thus, the connection terminal 450a is pushed into the case 410. On the other hand, the restoring force of the elastic means disposed under the connection terminal 450a pushes the connection terminal 450a to the outside of the case 410 continuously. Accordingly, the one end P1 of the connection terminal 450a and the connection portion 360 can be stably contacted.
Referring to FIG. 6B, regardless of whether or not the watch body 410 is mounted on the case 410, the connection terminal 450a is formed inside the protruding portion 460. Therefore, the risk of the external magnetic substance sticking to the connection terminal 450a to cause a short circuit is remarkably reduced.
Meanwhile, in the present invention, when the watch body 400 is mounted on the cradle 400, the cradle 400 may be mounted to form a stationary body. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 7A is a perspective view showing a cradle 400 in which a mounting type is implemented and a watch-type terminal mounted thereon, FIG. 7B is a perspective view showing only the cradle 400 shown in FIG. A-A 'direction. 7D is a cross-sectional view taken along the line B-B 'of FIG. 7B.
The first and second recess portions 417 and 425 are formed on the case 410 and the cover 420 so that the bands formed on both sides of the watch body are drawn out of the case 410, .
Specifically, the first recess portion 417 is formed to be recessed inward of the case 410 from the side surface of the case 410. The width of the first recessed portion 417 is formed to correspond to the width of the band. If the upper plate 411 and the lower plate 412 of the case 410 are formed respectively, recesses are formed in the upper plate 411 and the lower plate 412, respectively, and they are coupled to each other to form the first recessed portion 417 .
Similar to the above, the second recess portion 425 is formed to be recessed in the lateral direction of the cover 420 at the side of the cover 420. The width of the second recess portion 425 is formed to correspond to the width of the band and the first recess portion 417.
Referring to FIG. 7A, when the cover 420 is in a closed state, band grooves including the first and second recess portions 417 and 425 are formed. Accordingly, bands of the watch-type terminal are drawn out of the case 410 and the cover 420 through the band groove. The cradle 400 may be lifted from the ground by balancing the drawn bands and the cables coupled to the case 410. Hereafter,
Referring to FIGS. 7B and 7D, first and second grooves 418 and 419 for receiving a cable body and a cable C connected to the body are formed on the rear surface of the case 410. FIG. The body of the cable can be engaged with the cradle 400 while being inserted into the first groove 418. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the body of the cable from protruding to the outside of the cradle 400.
Meanwhile, the width of the first groove 418 is formed to correspond to the width of the body of the cable. However, at least a portion may be formed to be wider than the width of the body of the cable, in order to facilitate coupling of the cable to the cradle 400 while the user grips the body of the cable by hand.
A hole is formed in one side of the first groove 418 so that the body of the cable can be electrically connected to the circuit board disposed in the case 410 of the cradle 400 through the hole.
A second groove 419 for receiving the wire C is formed in connection with the first groove 418. The width of the second groove 419 may be formed to correspond to the width of the electric wire C. [ On the other hand, at least a part of both sides of the second groove 419 may be formed with a fixing part for fixing the electric wire C. [ The wire C can be stably fixed in the second groove 419 by tightening both sides of the wire C by the fixing portion.
On the other hand, the electric wire C is made of a material which can be warped by an external force. That is, the electric wire C is bent according to the direction of the force when a force of a certain magnitude or more is applied. The wire (C) remains bent when no further force is applied. After the cable is coupled to the cradle 400, the wire C can be turned to face the opposite side of the cradle 400 from the exit from the second groove 419.
Referring to FIG. 7A, the electric wire C may be disposed between the bands formed on both sides of the watch body in a bent state as described above. As the wire C is balanced between the bands, the cradle 400 can be raised from the ground. Specifically, the user can adjust the angle formed between the cradle 400 and the ground by adjusting the degree of bending of the wire C. Also, the user can keep them standing on the ground even while charging the cradle 400 and the watch-type terminal, thereby easily confirming the display portion of the watch-type terminal.
The above-described mobile terminal is not limited to the configuration and method of the embodiments described above, but all or some of the embodiments may be selectively combined so that various modifications may be made to the embodiments.
