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 watch-type terminal or the proximity sensor 141 near the touch screen.

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 can be determined according to the operating state of the current watch type 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 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 main body 101 may include an audio output unit 152, a camera 121, a microphone 122, a user input unit 123, and the like. When the display unit 151 is implemented as a touch screen, the display unit 151 may function as a user input unit 123, so that the main unit 101 may not have a separate key.

The band 102 is worn on the wrist so as to surround the wrist and can be formed of a flexible material for easy wearing. As an example, the band 102 may be formed of leather, rubber, silicone, synthetic resin, or the like. In addition, the band 102 may be detachably attached to the main body 101, and may be configured to be replaceable by various types of bands according to the user's preference.

On the other hand, the band 102 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 102 may be provided with a fastener 102a. The fastener 102a 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 102a is embodied as a buckle is shown.

The watch-type terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention including at least one of the above-described configurations is configured to be worn on the wrist of a user. The touch-type terminal 100 includes a touch screen A screen 151 is provided. Then, the first function icon is displayed in one area of the face screen.

Here, the first function icon may correspond to an icon of an application, a widget icon, a notification icon indicating an event, and an icon showing specific content information provided by the application. The first function icon may correspond to a folder image icon grouped into a plurality of applications or an icon displayed with a specific function designated by the user.

For example, when the first function icon is an icon or an icon in which specific content information provided by an application is displayed, a predetermined image is not displayed and information related to an event or content information provided by the application is displayed as a first function Can be displayed in the icon.

Next, when a touch input is applied to the displayed first function icon, the controller 180 of the watch-type terminal 100 can perform a function corresponding to the first function icon.

When the execution of the function corresponding to the first function icon ends, the control unit 180 can control the screen change corresponding to the execution of the function to appear on at least one of the face screen and the first function icon . Here, the screen change corresponding to the execution of the function means that the text, image, etc. indicating the execution result of the function are displayed once or in a stream.

According to this, the user can quickly execute frequently used functions on the face screen including the time information or quickly enter the corresponding application.

Hereinafter, FIG. 2 is a representative conceptual diagram for illustrating an operation implemented in a watch-type terminal related to the present invention.

2, when the touch screen 151 is activated, a face screen 201 for displaying time information is displayed using an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second hand, and an area defined on the face screen 201, And the exercise function icon 210 may be output with a predetermined function icon in the lower region.

Also, although not shown, the predetermined icons may be implemented in a plurality of areas, and in this case, they may be arranged in different areas of the face screen. In addition, although the predetermined icon is displayed as a circular image, it is not limited thereto, and it may be implemented in various forms such as a long bar in a horizontal / vertical direction or a fan.

Also, the accumulated number of steps 220 and '120 Steps' may be displayed as cumulative information related to a predetermined function icon in another area of the face screen 201, for example, an upper area. At this time, a sensor for detecting the accumulated number of steps 220, for example, a gyro sensor / acceleration sensor, detects when the worn-type terminal 100 is worn or when a function corresponding to a predetermined function icon is triggered for the first time Can be activated. In addition, the accumulated number of steps 220 is updated and displayed according to the detection result of the sensor.

In this state, when a touch input is applied to the motion function icon 210, the user can directly enter the execution screen 230 of the application corresponding to the icon. Here, the touch input may be, for example, a short-touch input, a long-touch input, a double-short touch input, or a single tap, which is applied at a predetermined pressure or more.

Also, although not shown, the face screen 201 displayed on the touch screen 151 can be continuously displayed on the background of the execution screen 230 with a predetermined transparency. That is, the output state of the face screen can be maintained while the function corresponding to the motion function icon 210 is being executed.

In the execution area 230, for example, an operation state of an application, execution information of a specific function and the like are displayed in the first area 232, and sound source information reproduced during the execution of the function is displayed in the second area 231 Can be displayed. In the third area 233 of the execution screen 230, menus for controlling the operation of the application may be displayed.

After the execution screen 230 is output for a predetermined time (for example, one second), a countdown for measuring the running time, together with the feedback sound, may be triggered. In other words, no additional input of the user is required in the execution screen 230.

When the countdown ends, timer information for measuring the running time is displayed in the second area 231 (240). During the measurement of the running time, icons 241 and 242 for confirming the information on the running route and the running distance, for example, (233). ≪ / RTI >

Thereafter, when the touch input is applied to the information corresponding to the timer operation, the measurement result 250 of the running time is displayed on the touch screen 151. Accordingly, in the second area 231 together with the measurement result, a first button 251 for re-executing the timer operation and a second button 252 for terminating the timer operation are displayed.

At this time, when a touch input is applied to the second button 252 for terminating the timer operation, or a palm touch or a horizontal direction, for example, a left-to-right drag-touch input is applied to the touch screen 151 , The execution of the function for measuring the running time is ended.

Accordingly, the face screen including the time information is displayed on the touch screen 151 again. At this time, the result corresponding to the execution of the function, that is, the measurement result of the running time (running time) It is displayed in summary form. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, a measurement value of running time is displayed adjacent to the motion function icon 210, and a boundary of the motion function icon 210 is set to a length corresponding to the displayed value A predetermined image object can be drawn. Such a display change can be updated together when the running time is measured again.

Further, although not shown, in another embodiment, a screen showing the measurement result of the running time may be displayed as a background image of the face screen for a predetermined time.

Further, although not shown, when a touch input is applied to the background of the function icon or the face screen in which the display change has been made, detailed information corresponding to the execution of the function, for example, details related to the measurement result of running time And may be switched to a screen including information (e.g., running route, running distance, etc.).

According to the embodiments described above, a specific function can be immediately executed on a face screen including time information without moving a page, or can quickly enter an associated application. Furthermore, by continuously displaying the execution result of the specific function on the face screen, it is possible to induce re-execution of the function.

Next, Fig. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the conceptual diagrams of Fig.

3, a face image including time information is displayed on the touch screen 151 of the watch-type terminal 100 according to the present invention, and a first function icon is displayed in one area of the face image (S10).

As described above, the first function icon includes an icon of an application, a widget icon, an icon indicating an occurrence of an event, an icon indicating a part of various contents information provided by a specific application, A folder icon, or an icon indicating a specific function specified by the user, and the like.

Also, in one embodiment, additional information associated with the first function icon may be displayed in another area of the face screen. Here, the cumulative information associated with the first function icon may be cumulative information corresponding to execution of the function corresponding to the first function icon, or cumulative information corresponding to execution of another function associated with the first function icon. Such cumulative information is automatically updated and displayed as a specific function is executed. The execution of a specific function is not limited to the intentional input of the user but also the result of detection of natural behavior (for example, walking or running behavior) A specific time zone entry, a specific place entry, etc.) are satisfied.

Next, when a touch input is applied to the first function icon, a function corresponding to the first function icon may be executed (S20).

Specifically, when a touch input is applied to the first function icon, the control unit 180 of the watch-type terminal 100 displays the execution screen of the application corresponding to the first function icon to execute the function.

At this time, the output state of the face screen including the time information may be maintained on the touch screen 151 during the execution of the function, or the face screen may be switched to the screen corresponding to the execution of the function.

In addition, the controller 180 may ignore touch input from an area or point outside the first function icon while a function corresponding to the first function icon is executed on the face screen. That is, the input of the control command to the area or the point outside the first function icon can be restricted while the specific function is executed on the face screen. In this case, while the function is being executed, the first function icon may be changed to an icon for canceling the execution of the function.

Also, if the execution of the function corresponding to the first function icon is performed on the face screen, the controller 180 can output the image corresponding to the execution of the function as a dynamic image with the background of the face screen. Accordingly, the user can visually intuitively understand that a specific function is being executed, and can feel an aesthetic feeling through the image.

When the execution of the function is terminated (S30), the watch-type terminal 100 performs a step of controlling the screen change corresponding to the execution of the function to appear on at least one of the face screen and the first function icon (S40).

At this time, if the function is executed by displaying the execution screen of the application corresponding to the first function icon, the control unit 180 stores the execution screen of the application as the first function icon You can switch back to the face screen.

In addition, the control unit 180 can automatically store the execution result of the function at the time when the execution of the function ends.

Here, the screen changes corresponding to the execution of the function can be variously implemented. Specifically, the control unit 180 may display an image related to at least one of the background of the face screen and the first function icon as the function is executed. For example, an image representing the execution result of the function may be displayed on the background of the face screen, or an object or text representing the execution result of the function may be displayed within or adjacent to the first function icon.

In this state, if the touch input is applied to the image representing the execution result of the function, detailed information on the execution result of the function can be confirmed.

Also, when cumulative information related to the first function icon is displayed in another area of the face screen, the cumulative information may be updated and displayed so as to correspond to the execution of the function when execution of the function is terminated. In addition, a length-varying image object corresponding to the accumulated information may be formed along the edge of the touch screen 151.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 4A, 4B, 5, 6A, 6B, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14A, 14B, 14C, 16 and 17, various embodiments related to a method of executing a specific function on a face screen in a watch-type terminal according to the present invention will be described in more detail.

4A, 4B, 5, 6A, 6B and 7 illustrate various embodiments when a running function icon is displayed on the face of the watch-type terminal 100. FIG.

4A, a face screen 401 for displaying time information is displayed on the touch screen 151 of the watch-type terminal 100 using the hour hand, the minute hand, and the second hand, At the center, a running function icon 402 may be displayed. Steps of the user may be displayed at a position opposite to the running function icon 402, that is, at the upper center of the face screen 151.

At this time, if a touch input (e.g., tap) is applied to the running function icon 402, the running home screen 410 is output as the running function is executed. The running home screen 410 includes a first area 412 for displaying the operating state of the running function, a second area 411 for displaying the sound source information to be reproduced when the running function is executed, 3 region 413 may be included.

When the running home screen 410 is outputted and a predetermined time (for example, one second) has elapsed, a timer operation for executing the running function is automatically started (421). At this time, the countdown corresponding to the timer operation may be output together with the sound to call attention of the user. When the countdown corresponding to the timer operation is completed (e.g., 3 seconds), the running time is automatically measured (431). On the other hand, while the countdown is being performed after the timer operation, the execution of the running function can be canceled by applying an input to the cancel icon 422. [

During the measurement of the running time, the watch-type terminal 100 activates a sensor (GPS sensor, PPG sensor, etc.) provided in the main body and detects biometric signals such as the current position information and the user's heart rate and respiration rate in real time .

The user can confirm the detected information either during the running time measurement or after the completion of the measurement. For example, if the first icon 432 is selected in FIG. 4A, the running map information and the running route can be checked in conjunction with the map application. Also, the user's heart rate is displayed on the second icon 433, but the change pattern of the user's biomedical signal can be verified in detail during the running.

When the measurement end button 252 (FIG. 2) is selected after the measurement of the running time is completed, or when a swipe input is applied to the touch screen 151 in the palm touch or in the horizontal direction, or a predetermined time elapses, The time is automatically recorded. On the other hand, if the measured running time is below the reference value, a user's intentional input is required for record keeping.

Also, when the measured running time is saved, it switches to the face screen. The measurement result of the running time is applied to at least one of a face screen and a running function icon displayed on the face screen. At this time, detailed information (not shown) related to the measurement result of the running time may be output to the touch screen for a predetermined time before the stored running time is switched to the after-view screen.

4B, when the running home screen 410 is output or a countdown for executing a running function is performed, or while a sound source is being reproduced, the sound source information is related to the second area 411 on which the sound source information is displayed Control can be performed.

Specifically, when a drag-touch input is applied to the second area 411 in the vertical direction, for example, the top-down direction, the second area 411 is covered with the execution screen of the running function currently output to the touch screen 151, The reproduction control screen 420 of the sound source corresponding to the reproduction control screen 420 is displayed.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the playback key 422 of the playback control screen 420 is selected while the sound source has not yet been played back, the sound source can not be automatically played back. In this case, the touch screen 151 may display a guide screen 430 indicating that the sound source can be downloaded as a stream from an external device (e.g., mobile terminal) connected to the watch-type terminal 100 and reproduced.

5, when the measurement of the running time is completed, '12 seconds' is displayed on the running function icon 510 displayed on the face screen 501 as a measurement result of the running time which has been executed previously. A bar-shaped object having a length corresponding to the measured running time is displayed on the rim of the running function icon 510.

Also, the number of user steps 520, which is cumulative information displayed in another area of the face screen 501, is updated and displayed according to the execution of the running function.

On the other hand, in the face screen 501, a touch (for example, the background of the face screen 501, the running function icon 510, or the area 520 where the cumulative information is displayed) to which a screen change corresponding to the execution of the running function When the input is applied, the control unit 180 can output the detailed information 502 corresponding to the execution of the running function to the touch screen 151. [

For example, if the touch input is received in the area 520 where the cumulative information is displayed and the touch input subsequent to the touch input is applied on the detailed information 502, , Year, and the like) at a glance (503). At this time, the level of the specific reference can be gradually changed in proportion to the pressure of the touch input applied to the detailed information 502 (or in inverse proportion).

In addition, the detailed information 502 may include time information related to execution of the function. Here, the time information related to the execution of the function may be any one of a time at which the function is executed, a time interval at which the function is executed, or a time period from when the function is executed until when the function is executed.

In addition, the time information may be displayed corresponding to a position of the edge area of the touch screen 151 that matches the time at which the function was executed. For example, if the time at which the function is executed is 4:00 in FIG. 5, a bar-shaped object may be displayed at the 4 o'clock position in the border area of the detailed information 502 or the face screen 501. Here, the length of the bar-shaped object in the horizontal direction may correspond to the time at which the function is executed. With this display, the function can intuitively provide time information related to execution without page movement.

In another embodiment, FIG. 6C shows an example of a method for quickly entering detailed information on a face screen.

6C, when a pressure exceeding the reference range is applied to the touch point of the received touch input on the running function icon while the face screen 603 on which the running function icon 630 is displayed is displayed, One or more guide objects 650 may be displayed in the edge region of the screen to guide entry into the detailed information.

Here, the guide object 650 may be an image similar to the bar-shaped object described above. When a plurality of the guide objects 650 are displayed, length, color, transparency and the like may be displayed in different images according to the execution result of the running function. In addition, the guide object 650 may be displayed in the edge area at a position that matches the time at which the running function was executed. Also, the guide object 650 may be output only while the received touch input is held on the running function icon. That is, when the received touch input is released, the display of the guide object 650 may disappear.

In this state, when the touch input received in the running function icon 630 is dragged to the area where the guide object 650 is displayed, the user directly enters the detailed information 604 corresponding to the guide object displayed at the point where the drag input ends .

Thereafter, when the touch input is applied to the detailed information 604, the face screen 603 is displayed again on the touch screen 151, and a confirmation history of detailed information can be displayed on the face screen. For example, the execution result of the function displayed in the running function icon 6300 can be converted to that relating to the detailed information (630 ").

Meanwhile, FIG. 6A shows the entry mode of the setting mode related to the running function and the operation method in the setting mode.

When a drag input is applied in the horizontal direction on the face screen on which the first function icon is displayed or on the running home screen 601 shown in FIG. 6A, the control unit 180 of the watch-type terminal 100 sets the setting mode related to the running function (602).

On the other hand, the control unit 180 can restrict entry into the setting mode after the running time is started according to execution of the running function.

Items related to the setting of the running target value (running target time, running target distance, running target calorie, etc.) and items related to the setting of the sound source to be reproduced while measuring the running time Back list, interlocked sound source application, interlocked device, etc.), and if any one is selected based on user input, corresponding setting information can be changed.

Next, while the running function is being executed, the watch-type terminal 100 can receive position information on the main body through the position information module 115. [ To this end, the watch-type terminal 100 may activate the position information module 115 for detecting the position information on the main body at the time when the touch input is applied to the running function icon. The controller 180 may record the detected position information while the function corresponding to the running function icon is executed.

6B, in a setting mode 6040 related to the running function, the controller 180 sets the position information module 115 to the inactive state while the running function is being executed, or records the corresponding position information Can be controlled.

For example, when setting information that does not permit the detection of position information is inputted in the setting screen 605 (605a), an icon (or an icon (or a button) indicating that the position information can not be detected during execution of the running function 115) is in an inactive state) may be displayed in an area 614 associated with the control of the running function.

Meanwhile, FIG. 7 shows an example in which a running function icon is displayed on a face screen in an always-on mode for saving battery consumption of the watch-type terminal 100. The left face 701 of FIG. 7 shows that the running function is executed, and the execution of the right face 702 running function of FIG. 7 is stopped. In the always-on mode, the information displayed on the touch screen 151 may be displayed in black and white. In addition, the bar displayed on the frame of the left face screen 701 can be gradually changed in length in proportion to the execution time of the running function.

Next, FIGS. 8, 9, 10, and 11 show various embodiments when a water balance function icon is displayed on the face screen of the watch-type terminal 100. FIG.

8, a face image 801 for displaying time information is displayed on the touch screen 151 of the watch-type terminal 100 by using an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second hand, and the center of the face image 801 The icons 810 and 820 related to the water balance function may be displayed on the lower side.

For example, in the face screen 801, the first function icon 810 may be an action icon for increasing the total water balance and the second function icon 820 may be an action icon for decreasing the total water balance . In addition, for example, the first function icon 810 displays cumulative information (for example, five cups) of water intake for one day, and the second function icon 820 displays cumulative information of coffee intakes during one day Cup) can be displayed.

In addition, a total water balance area 820 can be displayed above the center of the face screen 151. [ The total water balance value 820 is updated based on the execution result of the function corresponding to the first function icon 810 or the second function icon 820. [ In addition, although not shown, the total water balance area 820 may display the degree (or the degree of under-reaching) of the predetermined target water balance.

When a touch input (e.g., a single touch input or a single tap) is applied to the first function icon 810, a control command for increasing the total water balance on the face screen 801 is executed. That is, while the function corresponding to the first function icon 810 is being executed, the control unit 180 displays an image related to the execution of the function on the background of the face screen while maintaining the output of the face screen 801 . According to this, a function related to total water balance can be executed without moving the page on the face screen.

Accordingly, the first function icon 810 is switched to the menu for canceling the execution of the function (811), and the first function icon 810 is switched to the menu for canceling the execution of the function, The area is displayed with a dynamic image 811a indicating that the function is being executed. When a touch input is applied to the menu 811 while the function corresponding to the first function icon 810 is being executed, the function being executed is canceled.

In addition, while the function corresponding to the first function icon 810 is executed, an animation effect such that water rises upward in the image corresponding to the execution of the function on the face screen 801 can be displayed. At the same time, the value displayed in the total water balance area 820 increases as the control command is applied (820 ") as the page-turning effect is applied to the value displayed in the total water balance area 820.

When the execution of the function is terminated, the first function icon 812 displays updated information on the water intake amount for one day (e.g., 5 glasses -> 6 glasses).

On the other hand, if a touch input (e.g., a single touch input or a single tap) is applied to the second function icon 820, a control command for reducing the total water balance on the face screen 801 . As a result, an animation effect such that water falls down in the background of the face screen 801 can be displayed, and the numerical value of the total water balance area 820 " is reduced. The cumulative information of coffee intake over the course of the day is updated and displayed (eg 0 -> 1 cup).

According to this, the user can easily confirm the change of the water balance due to the water ingestion on the face screen without moving the page. Accordingly, it is possible to naturally induce the user's water intake.

Next, FIG. 9 shows the operation mode in the entry mode and the setting mode related to the water balance.

9, the control unit 180 of the watch-type terminal 100 can enter the setting mode related to the water balance function (901).

An image 911 of the face image can be displayed on the setting screen 911 corresponding to the setting mode. When a touch input is applied to the displayed image 911, the control unit 180 may provide guide information 902 related to the water balance function as a peek card. That is, when the drag-touch input is applied to the guide information 902 in the vertical direction, the next guide information 903 is provided next.

When a touch input is applied to a specific area in the provided guide information 903, the user can enter a learning mode (Learning Mode) 904 associated with a specific area to which the touch input is applied.

In the learning mode, there are two scenarios: 1) the overall scenarios related to the water balance required per day, 2) the scenarios in which the water balance changes according to the water ingestion or coffee intake, and 3) the total water balance is set to the target value Scenarios to be reached or the like may be provided in time order or selectively.

Hereinafter, FIG. 10 shows an embodiment in which only one water balance function icon 1010 is displayed in the lower region of the face screen 1001. The water balance function icon 1010 displays cumulative information (for example, 5 cups) of water intake for one day.

Meanwhile, in relation to the water balance function, the memory 170 of the watch-type terminal 100 may previously store a target value related to execution of the water balance function.

In this case, the control unit 180 controls the execution of the function at the reference time interval, that is, the notification information that induces water intake, while the execution result of the function corresponding to the water balance function icon 1010 is equal to or less than the pre- (E.g., 'time to water') to another area 1030 of the face image 1001.

Here, the reference time interval may be a predetermined specific time interval or may be variable according to situation information (e.g., internal information such as user's motion information, external environmental information such as today's humidity, remaining time until goal attainment, and remaining water intake amount) Possible time interval.

For example, if the value displayed in the total water balance area 1020 is below the target value and the reference time elapses from the time when the function corresponding to the water balance function icon 1010 is executed, The notify information for inducing water ingestion may be displayed on the display unit 1030.

When the touch input is applied to the water balance function icon 1010 in response to displaying the notify information, the cumulative information of the water intake amount displayed in the water balance function icon 1010 and the value displayed in the total water balance area 1020 is updated (1021, 1011).

In another embodiment, information related to the recently transmitted imoji may be displayed in the background of the imoji function icon 1510 and the face screen 1501, or information related to the recently received imoji may be displayed. Also, the setting of this display can be changed or canceled in the setting mode.

16 and 17 illustrate embodiments in which various function icons are displayed by using a plurality of chronograph areas displayed on the face screen or automatically changed to a function icon suitable for a situation.

Here, it is assumed that one or more chronograph areas in which information for measuring a time interval is displayed in a predetermined area of a face screen including time information may be displayed.

The chronograph area provides a time watch function related to the time information output on the face screen, so that the time can be precisely measured. The chronograph area may be provided with a single needle for measuring the hour, minute, or second in a generally circular circle shape. For example, if the chronograph area is displayed at 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 9 o'clock on the face screen, each chronograph area will be displayed with the hour hand knob to measure 'hour' Minute chronograph for measuring the seconds, and a second-hand chronograph for measuring the seconds.

When the touch screen 151 displays a face image including one or more chronograph areas and the touch input is applied to one point of the face image after the chronograph area is exited, , 'Timer chrono mode') to the first function icon (hereinafter referred to as 'function chrono mode').

The state in which the mode is switched to the function chrono mode is shown in Figs. 16 and 17. Fig.

16, in the function chrono mode, a first function icon 1610, a second function icon 1620, and a second function icon 1620 are respectively displayed at 9 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 3 o'clock on the face screen 1601, 3 function icon 1630 can be displayed.

For example, the first function icon 1610 corresponds to the above-described water balance function, the second function icon 1620 corresponds to the imoji transmission function described above, and the third function icon 1630 corresponds to the above- Function.

In the twelve directions of the face screen 1601, one or more accumulated information related to the function icons displayed in the other chronograph areas may be displayed. For example, the Total water balance (2.0L) associated with the first function icon 1610 and the Total steps (150steps) associated with the third function icon 1630 may be displayed 1641.

In this state, when a drag-touch input is applied to the face screen 1601 in the horizontal direction, a setting mode for changing setting information such as changing, adding, and deleting icons displayed in the plurality of chronograph areas on the face screen 1601 (1602). ≪ / RTI > As a result of changing the setting information in the setting mode, for example, the first function icon 1610 corresponding to the water balance function disappears from the face screen 1601, and a third function icon corresponding to the running related function (1630 ").

17, in the function chrono mode, a running related function icon 1710 may be displayed in the chronograph area displayed at 6 o'clock on the face screen 1701. [

The cumulative information associated with the running related function icon is displayed in one area of the face screen 170 outside the displayed chronograph area, for example, 12 o'clock. For example, the number of steps of the user during a day (e.g., 750 steps) may be displayed as cumulative information.

On the other hand, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the controller 180 can switch the function icon displayed in the chronograph area to another function icon corresponding to the predetermined condition.

Also, the controller 180 may change the cumulative information associated with the function icon displayed in the chronograph area to cumulative information associated with another icon corresponding to the predetermined condition.

Here, the predetermined condition may correspond to a specific condition stored in the watch-type terminal 100, for example, a specific location, a specific time zone, a connection with a specific device, an event occurrence in a specific application, and the like.

For example, in FIG. 17, normally, a running related function icon 1710 is displayed in the chronograph area displayed on the face screen 1701, and when a predetermined specific time zone (for example, can be set at intervals of two hours) water balance function icon (1720).

At this time, before the function icon displayed in the chronograph area is changed, the controller 180 pops up a notification icon 1720 indicating that the function icon is changed according to the predetermined condition being satisfied.

This preset condition can be set or changed by entering the setting mode related to the chronograph area. For example, in a case where the predetermined condition is set to a specific time zone in the setting mode, a change scenario of the function icons displayed in the chronograph area for one day can be generated.

Also, although not shown, the water balance function icon 1720 may be automatically changed to the running related function icon 1710 again when the time zone corresponding to the preset condition has elapsed.

It should be noted that the function icons described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 15 may also be displayed in the chronograph area.

In the foregoing, various embodiments have been described in which a touch input is applied to various function icons displayed on a face screen to execute a function without moving a page. However, the watch-type terminal 100 according to the present invention may be implemented such that a function corresponding to the function icon is executed through another user interface in addition to the touch input.

For example, in a state where a face screen including at least one function icon is displayed, a predetermined voice command or predetermined gesture input (e.g., gesture recognition through muscle movement detection such as gripping and stretching a fist) If you do, you can perform certain functions without moving the page.

As described above, according to the watch-type terminal and the control method thereof according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to quickly execute a specific function without moving a page on a face screen including time information, The information is continuously displayed on the face screen so that the user can continuously check the execution result of the function without having to enter the application separately. Thus, execution of the function can be induced. In addition, it is possible to directly access detailed information related to the execution result of a specific function through the minimum input on the face screen, and then to return to it again.
