The ultrasonic sensor 142 refers to a sensor using characteristics of an ultrasonic wave having a high frequency (about 20 KHz or more) that can not be heard by the human ear.

Ultrasonic waves can be used for air, liquid, and solid. Since the frequency is high and the wavelength is short, there is a feature that high resolution can be measured.

The wavelength used for the ultrasonic sensor 142 is determined according to the frequency of the sound velocity and the sound wave of the medium and is 1 mm to 100 mm for a fish finder or sonar in the sea, 0.5 mm to 15 mm for a metal probe, Mm.

The ultrasonic sensor 142 is the same as a transmitting element and a receiving element of ultrasonic waves, and a magnetostrictive material (ferrite or the like), a voltage, an electric deformation material (rocuronite, barium titanate, etc.) are used as a sensor material.

This can be referred to as a transparent display, and a typical example of the transparent display is TOLED (Transparent OLED) and the like. The rear structure of the display unit 151 may also be of a light transmission type. With this structure, a user can see an object located behind the multifunctional black box device body through the area occupied by the display portion 151 of the multifunctional black box device body.

There may be two or more display units 151 depending on the implementation of the multifunctional black box device. For example, in a multifunctional black box device, a plurality of display portions may be spaced apart or arranged integrally on one surface, and may be disposed on different surfaces, respectively.

(Hereinafter, referred to as a 'touch screen') in which a display unit 151 and a sensor for sensing a touch operation (hereinafter, referred to as 'touch sensor') form a mutual layer structure, It can also be used as an input device.

The touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in a pressure applied to a specific portion of the display unit 151 or a capacitance generated in a specific portion of the display unit 151 into an electrical input signal. The touch sensor can be configured to detect not only the position and area to be touched but also the pressure at the time of touch.

If 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.

The proximity sensor 141 may be disposed within an interior region of the multifunctional black box device that is enclosed by the touch screen or near the touch screen. 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.

Examples of the proximity sensor 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. And to detect the proximity of the pointer by the change of the electric field along the proximity of the pointer when the touch screen is electrostatic. In this case, the touch screen (touch sensor) may be classified as a proximity sensor.

Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the act of recognizing that the pointer is positioned on the touch screen while the pointer is not in contact with the touch screen is referred to as " proximity touch & The act of actually touching the pointer on the screen is called " contact touch. &Quot; The position where the pointer is proximately touched on the touch screen means a position where the pointer is vertically corresponding to the touch screen when the pointer is touched.

The proximity sensor detects 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, a proximity touch movement state, and the like). Information corresponding to the detected proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern may be output on the touch screen.

The audio output module 152 may output audio data received from the wireless communication unit 110 or stored in the memory 160 in a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast receiving mode, or the like. The sound output module 152 also outputs sound signals related to the functions performed in the multifunctional black box device. The audio output module 152 may include a receiver, a speaker, a buzzer, and the like.

For example, different vibrations may be synthesized and output or sequentially output.

In addition to the vibration, the haptic module 154 may include a pin arrangement vertically moving with respect to the contact skin surface, a spraying force or a suction force of the air through the injection port or the suction port, a touch on the skin surface, contact with an electrode, And various tactile effects such as an effect of reproducing a cold sensation using an endothermic or exothermic element can be generated.

The haptic module 154 can be implemented not only to transmit the tactile effect through the direct contact but also to allow the user to feel the tactile effect through the muscular sensation of the finger or arm. The haptic module 154 may be equipped with two or more haptic modules 154 according to the configuration of the multifunctional black box device.

The projector module 155 is an element for performing an image project function using the multifunctional black box device and is identical to the image displayed on the display part 151 according to the control signal of the control part 180 At least some of which can display other images on an external screen or wall.
