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.

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.

6 is a view for explaining an embodiment of outputting image contents in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the mobile terminal may output image content 610 through a display unit. Here, the display unit may be provided in the mobile terminal as described above and may be located in the eye direction of the user. Therefore, the following description will be made with reference to the display unit in the direction in which the user looks. In addition, the image content 610 may correspond to various visual data such as an image and a video. In addition, the image content 610 shown in FIG. 6 may correspond to a part of various areas included in the image content 610. FIG. More specifically, the image content 610 output from the mobile terminal will be described with reference to only a part of the image content 610 having an omnidirectional image or the image content 610 having a wide width in the lateral direction of the drawing.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal may output only a portion of the image content 610 to the output area 620. More specifically, the image content 610 may have an omnidirectional image, but only a portion of the image content 610 can be output to the output area 620 since the size of the display unit of the mobile terminal is limited. Accordingly, an area actually visible to the user corresponds to the output area 620. [

More specifically, the output area 620 of the mobile terminal can be changed according to the rotation of the user's head. That is, since the mobile terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention is exemplified by a head mounted display (HMD) worn on the user's head, The output area 620 can be determined. For example, when the user turns his / her head to the left, the mobile terminal outputs the left direction of the image content 610 to the output area 620 so that the user can naturally view the image content 610.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal may include a first object 630 in the output area 620 and output it. Here, the first object 630 may correspond to a moving image. More specifically, the mobile terminal can output a moving image to a part of the output area 620 that can be viewed by the user, and can reproduce the moving image.

In addition, the mobile terminal may include the second object 640 in the output area 620 and output it. Here, the second object 640 may correspond to an item included in the image content 610. [ For example, if the image content 610 is an image for a den, then the second object 640 may correspond to an item generally stored in the den, such as a book, a bookcase, a desk, a chair, or a stand. In addition, although it is illustrated that the mobile terminal outputs only one second object 640 to the output area 620, the image content 610 may include various objects.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal may determine a second object 640 output to the image content 610 based on the first object 630 output to the output area 620.

More specifically, when the first object 630 is a moving image, the mobile terminal can determine a subject of a moving image from a hash tag or a keyword corresponding to the moving image. Accordingly, the mobile terminal can output the second object 640, which is suitable for the first object 630, to the image content 610. For example, if the first object 630 is a horror movie, the mobile terminal may output the inside of the room with the image content 610 and output a rope, blood, or broken window, etc., to the second object 640 can do.
