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.

Here, the touch object may be a finger, a touch pen, a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like as an object to which a touch is applied to the touch sensor.

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

On the other hand, the control unit 180 may perform different controls or perform the same control according to the type of the touch object touching the touch screen (or a touch key provided on the touch screen).

Touch can be sensed.

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

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 arranged to scan the motion of the object to be sensed 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 wiring line 251a of the display unit 251 is connected to the control unit through the inner space 231a of the rotation member 231 so that the rotation member 231 coupled with the display unit 251 and the clock hands 202 Can be disposed together in a compact space. Accordingly, a new type of smart clock in which an analog clock and a digital clock are fused can be provided in a more compact space.

Meanwhile, as described above, the display unit 251 may be implemented as a plurality of different display units. In other words, the display portion 251 may include different first and second display portions. In this case, the first and second display units may be disposed on different surfaces of the main body 201, respectively.

The plurality of light sources may be disposed along the periphery of the first display unit 2511. More specifically, the plurality of light sources may be disposed at positions corresponding to the clock ticks, respectively. For example, the plurality of light sources may include twelve light sources, and may be disposed at substantially equal intervals.

Hereinafter, the second display unit will be described based on a plurality of light sources, but the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, the second display unit may be a single surface as in the first display unit.

Also, the first and second display units 2511 and 2512 may both be in an activated state or only a part thereof may be activated.

When both of the first and second display units 2511 and 2512 are in the activated state, the screen information displayed on the first and second display units 2511 and 2512 may be combined to provide information related to time to the user . For example, some of the screen information for displaying the time may be output through the first display unit 2511, and another portion of the screen information for displaying the time may be output through the second display unit 2512.

When only one of the first and second display units 2511 and 2512 is activated, screen information for displaying time may be output only to the activated display unit, and a blank screen may be output to the remaining display units.

The control unit 280 of the smart watch 200 according to the present invention can control the display unit 251 to output screen information for displaying time using the position of the clock hands 202. [ Referring to FIG. 4, this will be described in more detail.

[

Although not shown, when the hour hand 202 plays the role of an hour hand or a second hand rather than a minute hand, the image object 410 corresponding to the hour hand or the image object 430 corresponding to the seconds hand, Lt; / RTI >

4B, the image objects 420 and 430 corresponding to the minute and second hands are output to the first display unit 2511, and the image object 410 corresponding to the hour hand is displayed on the first display unit 2511, May be output to the second display unit 2512. More specifically, when the second display unit 2512 includes a plurality of light sources, only the light source corresponding to the position of the hour hand among the plurality of light sources may be activated, and the remaining light sources may be inactivated. Alternatively, the control unit may control the plurality of light sources so that the color of the light emitted from the light source corresponding to the position of the hour hand among the plurality of light sources is distinguished from the color of the light emitted from the remaining light sources.

4C, the image object 410 corresponding to the hour hand is output to the second display unit 2512, and image objects 420 and 430 corresponding to the minute and second hands are displayed. Can be omitted.

More specifically, when the second display unit 2512 includes a plurality of light sources, only the light source corresponding to the position of the hour hand among the plurality of light sources may be activated, and the remaining light sources may be inactivated. When the clock hands 202 serve as the minute hand, the position of the clock hands 202 and the position of the activated light source may be combined to provide time information to the user.

Various embodiments have been described in which screen information for displaying time is output by using the position of a hand of a clock in the display unit.

The control unit 280 may selectively activate any one of the first and second display units 2511 and 2512 based on whether or not the user is perceived around the smart clock 200. [

Hereinafter, an example in which the second display unit 2512 consumes less power than the first display unit 2511 will be described.

For example, when it is determined that there is a user in the vicinity of the smart clock, the controller 280 activates the first display unit 2511 and activates the second display unit 2511, as shown in FIG. 4 (a) The display unit 2512 can be deactivated.

In this case, the control unit 280 can control the first display unit 2511 so that screen information for displaying time is output using the position of the clock hands 202. [

If the controller 280 determines that there is no user in the vicinity of the smart clock, the control unit 280 activates the second display unit 2512 as shown in FIG. 4 (c) (2511) can be deactivated.

In this case, the control unit 280 can control the second display unit 2512 so that the screen information for displaying the time is output using the position of the clock hands 202.

The control unit 280 may determine whether a user is present in the vicinity of the smart clock using an image input through the camera 221 or a sensing signal measured by the sensing unit 240. [ Alternatively, based on the signal strength of the predetermined mobile terminal 100 sensed through the wireless communication unit 210, it is possible to determine whether there is a user in the vicinity of the smart clock.

Meanwhile, according to the present invention, in addition to displaying the current time, various information related to time can be displayed on the display unit. Hereinafter, this will be described in more detail.

5 is a conceptual diagram for explaining a method of controlling a display unit to display information related to a subject image included in an image input through a camera.

The smart watch 200 according to the present invention may include a camera 221. More specifically, the main body 201 may be provided with a camera 221. The camera 221 may be disposed on the main body 201 such that the photographing direction is the same direction as that of the display unit 251. [

An image including a subject image may be input through the camera 221. [ For example, when the distance between the smart clock 200 (more specifically, the distance sensor) and the subject is within a predetermined distance, the control unit 280 controls the camera 221 to perform shooting with respect to the subject Can be controlled.

The control unit 280 can recognize the subject image included in the image input through the camera 221. [ More specifically, the control unit 280 can specify a subject image included in the image based on a predetermined face recognition algorithm.

The control unit 280 may control the display unit 251 to display information related to the object based on the recognized object image.

5A, the controller 280 can control the display unit 251 to output screen information for displaying time using the position of the clock hands 202, as described above have. The control unit 280 may control the display unit 251 to output the image object 520 at a position corresponding to the hour hand when the hour hand 202 plays a role of a minute hand.

5B, the control unit 280 recognizes a subject image included in the image input through the camera 221 and displays the information related to the recognized subject image on the display unit 251 Can be controlled.

For example, when the image of the subject A is recognized through the camera 221, the display unit 251 may output the schedule information 520a and 520b related to the recognized subject A. [ More specifically, the control unit 280 may display the schedule information 520a and 520b at a position corresponding to the clock scale associated with the schedule.

The schedule information 520a and 520b may be received from the predetermined mobile terminal 100 communicated with the smart clock 200 through the wireless communication unit 210. [ In other words, when certain information is input to the mobile terminal 100 by the user, the smart clock 200 can receive the schedule information in real time via the wireless communication unit 210. [ The schedule information received in real time may be temporarily stored in the memory of the smart clock 200. [

Referring to FIG. 5C, the recognized information related to the object image may be information about an event 540 generated in the predetermined mobile terminal 100, in addition to the predetermined information related to the object.

Examples of the event generated in the mobile terminal 100 include a message reception, a call signal reception, a missed call, an alarm, a schedule notification, an email reception, information reception through an application, and the like.

5D, the information related to the subject image included in the image input through the camera 221 may include, in addition to the schedule information related to the subject, information related to the external home appliance set by the subject Lt; / RTI >

More specifically, when the operation of the external home appliance is performed, the controller 280 may receive information related to the operation of the external home appliance from the external home appliance through the wireless communication unit 210 . Further, the control unit 280 may control the display unit 251 to output information 530a and 530b related to the operation of the external home appliance.

At this time, the information 530a and 530b related to the operation of the external home appliance may be output together with information 510 related to the current time. In addition, the information 530a and 530b related to the operation of the external home appliance may be displayed in a color different from the information 510 related to the current time. Accordingly, the user can easily recognize the current time and information related to the operation of the external home appliance at the same time.

For example, if the external home appliance is a washing machine, when the washing machine starts to operate, the controller 280 can receive information related to the washing time through the wireless communication unit 210.

In addition, the control unit 280 may receive information on the subject related to the operation of the washing machine together with the information related to the received washing time. In this case, the information about the subject may be associated with the information related to the washing time. Therefore, information related to the washing time associated with the information on the subject can be output to the display unit 251 based on the subject image included in the image input by the camera 221 according to the present invention.

On the other hand, when there are a plurality of subject images recognized in the image input through the camera, information related to the plurality of subjects may be output to the display unit at a time, or sequentially. In a case where the information is sequentially output, the information related to the plurality of subjects may be sequentially output according to the time order of the predetermined information included in the information.

Further, when a plurality of subject images are recognized on the image and at least one subject image is not on the pre-registered subject, information related to the plurality of subjects may not be output to the display unit in terms of privacy protection .

The clock hands 202 related to the present invention are formed to be rotatable by the driving force provided from the driving unit 230 so as to display the current time.

Further, in the present invention, the clock hands 202 may be formed so that their positions can be changed based on application of an external force different from the driving force. Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, various embodiments related to the case where an external force is applied to the hourglass needle 202 will be described.

6A to 6D are conceptual diagrams for explaining various embodiments related to the case where an external force is applied to the clock hands related to the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 6A to 6C, the clock hands 202 according to the present invention can be changed in position when an external force is applied, and when the external force is released, As shown in FIG.

More specifically, the clock hands 202 can be moved in the first position, along the direction in which the external force is applied (d1 direction in the figure), and can reach the second position. After the clock hands 202 reach the second position, when the external force is released, the clock hands 202 can return to the third position adjacent to the first position. Here, the difference between the first position and the third position may be a result of reflecting the flow time during movement of the hour hand 202. If the time during which the clock hands 202 is moved is less than one minute, the first position and the third position may be the same position.

Alternatively, the clock hands 202 may be formed to return to a position corresponding to the current time after a predetermined time (for example, several seconds) has passed after the external force is released.

6A, when the position of the hour hand 202 is changed, the control unit 280 controls the display unit 251 to display the time corresponding to the changed hour hand can do. In other words, when the position of the clock hands 202 is changed, the control unit 280 controls the display unit 251 to output the graphic object 620 corresponding to the time indicated by the changed clock hands 202 Can be controlled.

At this time, the graphic object 620 corresponding to the time indicated by the modified clock hands 202 may be displayed in a different color from the graphic object 610 indicating the current time.

Meanwhile, the control unit 280 may generate notification information related to the time corresponding to the changed position of the clock hands 202.

Referring to FIGS. 6A and 6D, after the clock hands 202 returns to a position corresponding to the current time, a time passes to a position corresponding to the displayed position of the graphic object 620 The notification information can be output. In other words, when the current time reaches the time corresponding to the position of the clock hands 202 previously changed by the external force, the control unit 280 outputs the notification information 630 to the display unit 251 or the sound output unit 252, As shown in FIG.

That is, the announcement information may be visually output through the display unit 251 or may be audibly output through the sound output unit 252.

Meanwhile, although not shown, the notification information may be output through the mobile terminal 100 communicated with the smart clock 200. Specifically, the announcement information may be output through the display unit 151 or the sound output unit 152 of the mobile terminal 100.

Referring to FIGS. 6B and 6B, after the clock hands 202 returns to a position corresponding to the current time, a time passes to a position corresponding to the displayed position of the graphic object 620 The schedule information 640 may be output to the display unit 251. [

6B can be replaced with the description given above with reference to FIG. 6A.

Referring to FIGS. 6C and 6C, when the position of the hour hand 202 is changed due to an external force, the daily information 650 related to the time indicated by the changed hour hand 202 May be output to the display unit 251. [ Here, the living information may be information related to at least one of weather, temperature, traffic, and the like.

The living information may be information received from the predetermined server or the mobile terminal 100 through the wireless communication unit 210.

6D, when the wireless communication unit 210 is wirelessly connected to the predetermined mobile terminal 100, the wireless communication unit 210 transmits the event generated in the mobile terminal 100 Related information can be received from time to time.

Further, the display unit 251 may display the time related to the information related to the event. In other words, the graphic object 660 may be output to the display unit 251 at a position corresponding to the time when the event is generated.

6B, when the position of the clock hands 202 is changed to a position corresponding to the time at which the event is generated due to an external force, information 670 related to the event is displayed on the display unit 251 .

Accordingly, the user can recognize information related to the event generated in the mobile terminal 100 through the smart clock 200. [ Further, by controlling the output of information 670 related to the event through the clock hands 202, the user can more intuitively recognize the time at which the event is generated.
