In this case, the touch screen (or touch sensor) itself may be classified as a proximity sensor.

For the sake of convenience of explanation, the act of recognizing that an object is located on the touch screen while the object is not in contact with the touch screen is referred to as "proximity touch" Quot; contact touch ". The position at which an object is touched on the touch screen means a position at which the object corresponds vertically to the touch screen when the object is touched.

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 by 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 when 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.

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.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of the mobile terminal 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

First, the mobile terminal 100 can start a video call according to a wireless signal transmitted / received to / from another terminal (S210). Specifically, the mobile communication unit 112 can transmit / receive a radio signal to / from another terminal (not shown). When a video call according to the wireless signal is started, the mobile terminal 100 can display a plurality of call screens on the touch screen 151 (S220). Each of the plurality of call screens may indicate that a user participating in the video call is displayed. As it is widely known, a detailed description will be omitted.

Thereafter, the mobile terminal 100 may determine whether there is a predetermined input in order to deactivate the touch screen 151 (S230).

If it is determined that there is a preset input (S230_Y), the mobile terminal 100 may disable the touch input to the touch screen 151 (S240). In this case, the mobile terminal 100 can still display a plurality of call screens. That is, the user can continue the video call but may not be able to touch input through the touch screen 151.

Here, deactivation of touch input does not mean deactivation of all touch inputs. That is, even if the touch input is inactivated, the mobile terminal 100 can maintain the activation of the touch input for activating the touch screen 151 as a whole, and deactivate the touch input.

Accordingly, the mobile terminal 100 may determine whether there is a preset input to activate the touch screen 151 (S250).

If it is determined that there is a predetermined input (S250_Y), the mobile terminal 100 can activate the touch input to the touch screen 151 (S260). That is, the user can continue the video call and can also perform touch input through the touch screen 151. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no preset input (S250_N), the mobile terminal 100 can maintain inactivation of the touch input to the touch screen 151 (S240).

Accordingly, unintentional touch input can be prevented by deactivating the touch screen 151 during a video call. In the case where a touch input is required, an input for activating the touch screen 151 is performed to enable the intended touch input .

Meanwhile, if it is determined that there is no preset input for deactivating the touch screen 151 during a video call (S230_N), the mobile terminal 100 can maintain the activation of the touch input to the touch screen 151 (S270) . In this case, the mobile terminal 100 can still display a plurality of call screens. That is, the user can continue the video call and can also touch input through the touch screen 151.

FIGS. 3 to 8 illustrate examples of touch input deactivation and activation of the mobile terminal 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the description of the parts overlapping with the above description will be omitted.

In addition, The lock message 136 may be a message informing the user that the touch input is inactivated, such as text. In this case, the lock message 136 may disappear after a predetermined time has elapsed.

Therefore, when the lock button 134 is selected, a screen as shown in FIG. 5 (b) can finally be displayed. That is, since the status bar 133 and the plurality of menus 133-1 through 133-3 disappear, the touch input can be deactivated. In this case, the lock message 136 shown in Fig. 5 (a) is not displayed, and the screen shown in Fig. 5 (b) may be displayed immediately.

In FIGS. 3 to 5, description has been given of the case where the touch input is inactivated. Therefore, the case where the touch input is activated will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8. FIG.

It is noted that the deactivation for the touch input does not mean deactivation for all the touch inputs. That is, since the status bar 133 and the plurality of menus 133-1 through 133-3 are disappeared, the touch input to the status bar 133 can be inactivated. The status bar 133 and the plurality of menus 133- 1 to 133-3) may be displayed again for a touch input. This will be described in detail below.

FIG. 6 illustrates a case where a video call is made in a state in which the touch input is inactivated, and the user can touch at least one of the first screen 131 and the second screen 132. FIG.

In this case, as shown in Fig. 7, a release button 135 may be displayed in one area of the touch screen 151. [ The position at which the release button 135 is displayed may be the same as the display position of the lock button 134 as described above.

Further, when the release button 135 is selected, the touch input to the touch screen 151 can be activated. That is, when the release button 135 is selected, the video call is maintained and the touch input to the touch screen 151 can also be activated. Therefore, the lock button 134 may be referred to as an activation button.

8 illustrates the touch screen 151 when the release button 135 is selected. Referring to FIG. 8, when the release button 135 is selected, the release button 135 can be changed to the lock button 134 and displayed. In this case, the lock button 134 may be the same shape as the release button 135, but it may be a different shape, and the shape may be the same but only the color may be different.

Accordingly, when the user desires to deactivate the touch input to the touch screen 151 again, the user can select the lock button 134, which is described with reference to FIGS.

Also, since the video call is maintained, each user can be displayed on the first screen 131 and the second screen 132.

In addition, a release message 137 may be displayed in one area of the touch screen 151. [ The release message 137 may be a message informing the user that the touch input is activated by text or the like. In this case, the release message 137 may disappear after a predetermined time has elapsed.

First, after the video call is initiated, the user can take a gesture holding the fist and stretching it. In this case, the gesture screen 138 is formed in one area of the touch screen 151. When the predetermined motion is sensed or the gesture is photographed, such motion or gesture can be displayed on the gesture screen 138. [ Accordingly, the gesture screen 138 can be displayed by changing the gesture to grip the fist as shown in FIG. 12 (a) and the gesture that stretches the fist as shown in FIG. 12 (b).

If the gripping and stretching gesture is pre-set as a gesture to deactivate the touch input, the touch input may be deactivated as shown in Figure 12 (c). In this case, the gesture screen 138 shown in FIG. 12 (b) may disappear at the same time as the touch input is deactivated or after a predetermined time elapses.

In FIG. 12, the gesture holding the fist is illustrated as disabling the touch input, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Thus, conversely, a fist stretching gesture can be set to deactivate the touch input.

13 shows a case where the touch input is activated by the user gesture in a state in which the touch input is inactivated.

That is, the video call can proceed with the touch input being inactive, in which case the user can take a gesture of opening his hand and gripping his fist. Therefore, the hand as shown in FIG. 13 (a) can be displayed on the gesture screen 138 by changing the gesture holding the fist as shown in FIG. 13 (b).

If the gesture that grasps the fist is set in advance as a gesture for activating the touch input, the touch input can be activated as shown in FIG. 13 (c). In this case, the gesture screen 138 shown in FIG. 13 (b) may disappear at the same time as the touch input is deactivated or after a predetermined time elapses.

In FIG. 13, the case where the gesture for activating the touch input is set as the gesture for holding the fist is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, the gesture for deactivating the touch input and the gesture for activation may be set in advance by the same gesture, as shown in Fig.

12 to 14, only the gesture screen 138 is displayed in the process of activating or deactivating the touch input. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, the gesture screen 138, the lock button 134, the release button 135, the lock message 136, the release message 137, and the like described in FIGS. 4 to 11 may be simultaneously displayed. This will be described with reference to FIG. 15 to FIG.

Specifically, the process of deactivating the touch input will be described with reference to FIG. Referring to FIG. 15 (a), as described above, the fist image can be displayed on the gesture screen 138 as the fist of the user of the mobile terminal 100 is shot or detected after the video call is started. In this case, the lock button 134 may be displayed.

Accordingly, when the user performs a fist-spreading gesture or touches the lock button 134, the fist-spreading gesture is displayed on the gesture screen 138 as shown in FIG. 15 (b) Can disappear. Also, the lock message 136 may disappear for a predetermined time.

Thereafter, the touch input may be deactivated as shown in Fig. 15 (c).

The process of activating the touch input will be described with reference to FIG. Referring to FIG. 16 (a), as a state in which the palm or hand of the user of the mobile terminal 100 is photographed or detected while the touch input is inactive after the video call is started, the gesture screen 138 displays a hand The expanded image can be displayed as described above. In this case, the release button 135 may be displayed.

Accordingly, when the user performs a gesture holding a fist or touches the release button 135, the gesture holding the fist is displayed on the gesture screen 138 as shown in FIG. 16 (b) Can be changed to the lock button 134 and displayed. Also, the release message 137 may disappear for a predetermined time.

Thereafter, the touch input can be activated as shown in Fig. 16 (c).

In the above description, the case where the gesture for activating or deactivating the touch input is the operation of holding the fist or stretching the fist has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Accordingly, a gesture holding an odd-numbered fist after the start of a specific video call is made to deactivate touch input, and a gesture holding an even-numbered fist may be set to activate a touch input. In addition, various other gestures, sounds, user face changes, etc. other than a fist gripping or stretching gesture may be set as input for deactivation and activation of the touch input.

In the above description, the touch input is activated or deactivated during the video call. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Accordingly, the same can be applied to the case where the touch input is activated or deactivated during execution of various applications.

17 to 20 are views showing an example of the touch input deactivation and activation of the mobile terminal 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, a case in which a navigation application is executed will be described. In the case where another application is executed, the same can be applied. Hereinafter, the description of the parts overlapping with the above description will be omitted. Furthermore, embodiments according to the following description can be implemented in combination with the above-described embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 17, a navigation application can be executed. In this case, the lock button 134 may be displayed in one area of the execution screen. The user can select the lock button 134 to prevent unintentional touch input during the execution of the navigation application.

If the lock button 134 is selected, the touch input to the touch screen 151 as shown in FIG. 18 may be inactivated. In this case, it is described that the lock button 134 can disappear upon being selected.

Thereafter, the user can touch the touch screen 151 as shown in FIG. 19 to operate the navigation application. In this case, the release button 135 can be displayed as shown in Fig.

Thereafter, when the release button 135 is selected, the screen is switched to the screen as shown in FIG. 17, and the touch input to the touch screen 151 can be activated. In this case, the release button 135 may be changed to the lock button 134 and displayed.
