The communication unit 110 may include one or more components for communicating between the terminal 100 and the communication system or between the terminal 100 and the network on which the terminal 100 is located.

For example, the communication unit 110 may include a broadcast receiving module, a mobile communication module, a wireless Internet module, a short distance communication module, and the like.

The broadcast receiving module 111 receives broadcast signals and / or broadcast-related information from an external broadcast management server through a broadcast channel.

The broadcast channel may include a satellite channel and a terrestrial channel. The broadcast-related information may refer to a broadcast channel, a broadcast program, or information related to a broadcast service provider.

The broadcast signal may include a TV broadcast signal, a radio broadcast signal, a data broadcast signal, and a broadcast signal in which a data broadcast signal is combined with a TV broadcast signal or a radio broadcast signal.

The mobile communication module transmits and receives radio signals to and from at least one of a base station, an external terminal, and a server on a mobile communication network. Here, the wireless signal may include various types of data depending on a voice call signal, a video call signal, or a text / multimedia message transmission / reception.

The wireless Internet module refers to a module for wireless Internet access, and the wireless Internet module can be built in or externally.

The short-range communication module is a module for short-range communication. Bluetooth, radio frequency identification (RFID), infrared data association (IrDA), ultra wideband (UWB), ZigBee, and Near Field Communication (NFC) may be used as the short distance communication technology.

The position information providing unit 120 is a module for confirming or obtaining the position of the terminal 100.

One example is the GPS (Global Position System) module. The GPS module receives position information from a plurality of satellites. Here, the location information may include coordinate information indicated by latitude and longitude.

For example, the GPS module can accurately calculate the current location according to the triangulation method by measuring the precise time and distance from three or more satellites and measuring three different distances.

A method of obtaining distance and time information from three satellites and correcting the error by one satellite may be used.

In particular, the GPS module can acquire latitude, longitude and altitude as well as three-dimensional velocity information and accurate time from the position information received from the satellite.

When the display unit 130 and the touch pad have a mutual layer structure to constitute a touch screen, the display unit 130 may be used as an input device in addition to the output device.

The display unit 131 may be a liquid crystal display, a thin film transistor-liquid crystal display, an organic light-emitting diode, a flexible display, a three-dimensional display 3D display).

 Also, there may be two or more display units 130 according to the embodiment of the terminal 100.

For example, the mobile terminal 100 may include an external display unit (not shown) and an internal display unit (not shown) at the same time.

 The touch screen can be configured to detect the touch input position as well as the touch input area as well as the touch input pressure. In addition, the touch screen can be configured to detect not only the real-touch but also the proximity touch.

In this specification, the term "real-touch" refers to a case where a pointer is actually touched on the screen, and "proximity-touch" , But approaches a predetermined distance from the screen.

In this specification, a pointer is a tool for touching or touching a specific portion of a displayed screen. For example, there are stylus fans and fingers.

Although not shown in the figure, various sensors may be provided in or near the touch screen to sense touch or proximity touch of the touch screen.

 Or various sensors for sensing touch or proximity touch of the touch screen may be disposed.

An example of a sensor for sensing the touch of the touch screen is a tactile sensor.

A tactile sensor is a sensor that detects the contact of a specific object with a degree or more that a person feels. The tactile sensor can sense various information such as the roughness of the contact surface, the rigidity of the contact object, and the temperature of the contact point.

In addition, a sensor for sensing the touch of the touch screen can sense a touch-drag. The term "touch drag" refers to a case where a touched point is moved while a touch is maintained. That is, it refers to a case in which the touch is held and dragged.

 The act of tapping a predetermined point of the display screen through the pointer to distinguish it from the touch drag may be referred to as "tap-touch ".

In this case, a sensor (for example, a tactile sensor) that senses the touch can sense the drag direction of the touch drag, the drag speed, the drag length, and the like.

An example of a sensor for sensing a touch on a touch screen is a proximity sensor.

The proximity sensor refers to a sensor that detects the presence or absence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface or a nearby object without mechanical contact using the force of an electromagnetic field or infrared rays. Therefore, the proximity sensor has a considerably longer life than the contact-type sensor and its utilization is also considerably high.

Examples of proximity sensors 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.

Among them, the operation principle of the high-frequency oscillation type proximity sensor will be described. In the oscillation circuit, when the high frequency of the stationary wave is oscillated, the oscillation amplitude of the oscillation circuit is attenuated or stopped when the sensing object approaches the sensor sensing surface, These changes are converted into electrical signals to detect the presence or absence of the sensing object.

Therefore, even if any non-metallic substance comes between the high frequency oscillation proximity sensor and the sensing object, the proximity switch can detect the sensing object to be detected without interference of the object.

Even if the proximity sensor is not mounted, it may be configured to detect the proximity of the pointer with a change of the electric field along the proximity of the pointer if the touch screen is electrostatic. Thus, in the case where the pointer is not actually touched on the touch screen but is located close to the touch screen, the position of the pointer and the distance between the pointer and the touch screen can be detected.

The position where the pointer is proximately touched on the touch screen means a position where the pointer corresponds to the touch screen in a vertical direction when the pointer is touched.

When the proximity distance of the pointer is within a predetermined distance range, it can be recognized as a proximity touch.

Proximity means the distance between the screen and the pointer. In particular, proximity may mean the shortest distance between the screen and the pointer.

In this specification, the term "a predetermined point on the screen is touched proximately" means that the pointer is located at a position on the space vertically corresponding to the predetermined point, and is recognized as a proximity touch.

 The proximity sensor detects proximity touch and proximity touch patterns (e.g., proximity distance, proximity touch direction, proximity speed, proximity touch time, proximity touch position, proximity touch movement state, etc.) Information corresponding to the operation and the proximity touch pattern can be output on the touch screen.

In this specification, proximity speed means the speed at which the pointer approaches the screen or the speed at which the pointer moves away from the screen. For example, the proximity sensor can sense proximity-drag drag direction, drag speed, drag length, and the like. The term " proximity-drag "refers to a case in which the point of proximity touch is moved while the proximity touch is maintained. That is, the case of dragging in a state where the proximity touch is maintained.
