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. For example, the display unit 151 may display execution screen information of an application program driven by the mobile terminal 100 or UI (User Interface) and GUI (Graphic User Interface) information according to the execution screen information .

In addition, the display unit 151 may be configured as a stereoscopic display unit for displaying a stereoscopic image.

Generally, 3D stereoscopic images consist of left image (left eye image) and right image (right eye image). A top-down method of arranging a left image and a right image in one frame according to a method in which a left image and a right image are combined into a three-dimensional stereoscopic image, A checker board system in which pieces of a left image and a right image are arranged in a tile form, a left-to-right (right-side) Or an interlaced method in which rows are alternately arranged, and a time sequential (frame-by-frame) method in which right and left images are alternately displayed in time.

In addition, the 3D thumbnail image may generate a left image thumbnail and a right image thumbnail from the left image and right image of the original image frame, respectively, and may be generated as one image as they are combined. In general, a thumbnail means a reduced image or a reduced still image. The left image thumbnail and the right image thumbnail generated in this way are displayed on the screen with a difference of the left and right distance by the depth corresponding to the parallax between the left image and the right image, thereby exhibiting a stereoscopic spatial feeling.

The left and right images necessary for realizing the three-dimensional stereoscopic image can be displayed on the stereoscopic display unit by the stereoscopic processing unit. The stereoscopic processing unit receives a 3D image (an image at a reference time point and an image at an expansion point), sets a left image and a right image therefrom, or receives a 2D image and converts it into a left image and a right image.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For example, if six events occur and six Noti icons are generated, the mobile terminal 100 sends a first noti icon 1331 for the sms event, a second noti icon 1332 for the phone event A third noti icon 1333 for a Facebook event, a fourth noti icon 1334 for a toll event, a fifth noti icon 1335 for a calendar event, a sixth noti icon 1336 for a mail event, And the number 6 (1320) in the circle button 1310 can be displayed.

Then the mobile terminal 100 displays a first noti icon 1331 for the most recently received sms event in the one button 1310 and the user selects the first noti icon 1331, You can check the event.

Here, the mobile terminal 100 may delete the first noti icon 1331 for the sms event displayed on the noti bar 1330 when the sms event is confirmed by the user.

Next, the mobile terminal 100 can display a second noti icon 1332 for the next received phone event in the one button 1310, if the sms event is confirmed by the user.

Here, when the Noti icon displayed in the one button 1310 is converted from the first noti icon 1331 for the sms event to the second noti icon 1332 for the telephone event, 4 (1320) is displayed, indicating that four noties remain.

In some cases, when the number of noties corresponding to one event is plural, the mobile terminal 100 can display the total sum number in the one button 1310 by the corresponding number.

In addition, the mobile terminal 100 can display the color of the one button differently according to the number of noties.

As shown in FIG. 27, the mobile terminal 100 may generate a circle button 1310 only in a region designated by the user when the circle button 1310 is generated.

The mobile terminal 100 may generate a circle button 1310 only in a blank area of the entire area of the display screen when the circle button 1310 is generated.

In another case, the mobile terminal 100 may generate the circle button 1310 only when a specific input of the user is input from the entire area of the display screen when the circle button 1310 is generated.

The mobile terminal 100 may change the color or size of the circle button 1310 according to the number of noties when the circle button 1310 is generated.

For example, when the one button 1310 is generated, the mobile terminal 100 displays the color of the circle button 1310 in a darker color as the number of notches increases, and the color of the circle button 1310 decreases as the number of notches decreases. Can be lightly displayed.

As shown in Fig. 30, when the mobile terminal 100 flickers the Noti icon displayed in the one button 1310 in the first direction after the user has generated the one button 1310 and later confirms the event , The noti icon 1334 for that event may be arranged in the last order among the noti icons arranged on the noti bar 1330. [

That is, when the user wants to check a predetermined event at a later time, the mobile terminal 100 may move the order of the noti icon of the event to the last one according to a specific input of the user input in the one button 1310 .

For example, if the user flickes the notht icon-related notht icon 1334 in the upward direction, the mobile terminal 100 may display the nothtod event-related notht icon 1334 in the last order over the nottiba 1330 have.

That is, the toll event related noeth icon 1334 may be located further behind the schedule event related noeth icon 1335 and the mail event related noeth icon 1336. [

Then, the mobile terminal 100 may display a schedule event related icon 1335, which is the next noty icon, in the one button 1310.

Here, the schedule event related icon 1335 can be removed from the NotiBar 1330.

31, after generating the one button 1310, the mobile terminal 100 displays the noti icon displayed in the original button 1310 in the second direction in order to delete the noti without confirming the event, If so, the Noti icon 1334 for that event may be deleted.

In one example, if the user flickes down the noti icon 1334 in the down direction, the mobile terminal 100 may delete the noti icon 1300 related to the to-do event.

Then, the mobile terminal 100 may display a schedule event related icon 1335, which is the next noty icon, in the one button 1310.

Here, the schedule event related icon 1335 can be removed from the NotiBar 1330.

As shown in FIG. 32, when a plurality of events are received, the mobile terminal 100 may display the Noti icons 1331 to 1336 corresponding to each event on the NotiBar 1330.

Here, the noti icons 1331 to 1336 may be displayed in the reverse order of the time when the event is received on the noti bar 1330.

For example, when a mail event, a calendar event, a toll event, a facebook event, a telephone event, and an sms event are sequentially received, a first noti icon 1331 for an sms event, a second noti icon 1332 A third noti icon 1333 for a Facebook event, a fourth noti icon 1334 for a toll event, a fifth noti icon 1335 for a calendar event, a sixth noti icon 1336 for a mail event, May be displayed in the reverse order of the time the event was received on the noti bar 1330.

Also, the mobile terminal 100 may display the number of notices of the event corresponding to each circle area by a number.

For example, the mobile terminal 100 may display the number 2 (1320) in the first circle area and the number 2 (1320) in the first circle area if the number of Notices related to the telephone event located in the first circle area is two, If the number of associated Notches is 1, the number 1 (1320) can be displayed in the second circle area.

In some cases, the mobile terminal 100 may display the original region in different colors according to the number of events related to the event located in the original region.

33, when a specific user input such as a long touch or the like is received, the mobile terminal 100 generates a time axis 1360 and, along the time axis 1360, , It is possible to generate a plurality of one-button buttons 1310 in which a plurality of Noti icons are displayed.

For example, along the time axis 1360, a second noti icon 1332 associated with the most recently received phone event, a third noti icon 1333 associated with a Facebook event, a fourth noti icon 1334 associated with a toll event, An event-related fifth Noety icon 1335, and a mail event-related sixth Noti icon 1336 may be displayed in order of event occurrence time.

Here, the user may, along time axis 1360, perform a flicking operation to select previous Noti icons.

Then, when the user selects the third noty icon 1333 related to the Facebook event, the mobile terminal 100 can execute the Facebook event, leaving only the circle button 1310 having the third noti icon 1333 .

34, when the user selects one noti icon among the noti icons placed along the time axis 1360 and performs a flicking operation in the first direction, You can keep the Noti icon on it.

For example, if the user selects a notht icon-related noti icon 1334 among the noti icons placed along the time axis 1360 and performs a flicking operation in the upward direction, An associated noti icon 1334 may be stored on the nonty bar 1330. [

35, when a user selects a noti icon from the noti icons disposed along the time axis 1360 and performs a flicking operation in the second direction, .

That is, the mobile terminal 100 does not display the noteteye icon on the notet bar 1330 even if an event related to the noteti icon to be displayed later occurs.

In one example, if the user selects a token event related noti icon 1334 among the noti icons placed along the time axis 1360 and performs a flicking operation in the downward direction, It is possible to inhibit the display of the associated noty icon 1334. [

Therefore, the mobile terminal 100 does not display the noti icon related to the toll event on the noti bar 1330 even if a to-be-called event occurs.

In some cases, the mobile terminal 100 may store only the prohibited Noti icons in the forbidden area 1390.

Then, the mobile terminal 100 may control the display prohibited area 1390 to cancel the display prohibition on the prohibited noti icons again.

Here, the released noti icons may be displayed on the noti bar 1330 when a related event occurs later.

36, when a predetermined event occurs while the user is using the application and a noti for the event is received, the mobile terminal 100 displays the corresponding event related noti icon 1334 on the noti bar 1330 Can be displayed.

Then, the mobile terminal 100 can generate and display a circle button 1310 in an area of the display screen where the user is not disturbed.

Then, the user can select the one button 1310 to confirm the event.

37, when the user wishes to prohibit the generation of the one button 1310 during the use of the application, if the generated one button 1310 is flicked in a predetermined direction, (100) can prohibit the generation of the circle button (1310) during use of the app.

For example, when the user flickes the generated one button 1310 in the downward direction and reaches the disturbance prohibited area 1380 where the one button 1310 is located at the bottom, The button 1310 can be inhibited from being generated.
