FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a portable terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - A
wireless communication unit 110 performs transmitting and receiving functions of corresponding data for wireless communication of the portable terminal. Thewireless communication unit 110 may include an RF transmitter for up-converting a frequency of a transmitted signal and amplifying the signal, and an RF receiver low-noise-amplifying a received signal and down-converting the signal. Further, thewireless communication unit 110 may receive and output data through a wireless channel to acontrol unit 180, and transmit data output from thecontrol unit 180 through the wireless channel. Thewireless communication unit 110 may receive weather information at a current time from a server providing weather information through a wireless communication network, and transmit it to thecontrol unit 180. The weather information may include, for example, temperature information, humidity information, and atmospheric condition information. - The
audio processing unit 120 may be configured by a CODEC. The CODEC preferably includes a data CODEC processing packet data and an audio CODEC processing an audio signal such as voices. Theaudio processing unit 120 converts a digital audio signal into an analog audio signal using an audio CODEC, and plays the analog audio signal using a speaker (SPK) (not shown). Further, theaudio processing unit 120 converts an analog audio signal input from a microphone (MIC) into a digital audio signal using the audio CODEC. - A
vibration output unit 130 comprises a structural element performing a function generating and outputting vibration, and is configured by a vibration motor. Thevibration output unit 130 generates and outputs vibration under the control of thecontrol unit 180. - A
storage unit 140 serves to store programs and data necessary for an operation of the portable terminal. Thestorage unit 140 may be, for example, divided into a program area and a data area. Thestorage unit 130 may be configured by a volatile storage medium, a nonvolatile storage medium, or a combination thereof. The volatile storage medium preferably includes semiconductor memories such as RAM, DRAM, or SRAM. The nonvolatile storage medium preferably includes hard disks. Thestorage unit 140 stores environmental information around the portable terminal corresponding to an image and image change information. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, thestorage unit 140 may store environmental information around the portable terminal corresponding to a sound and vibration pattern. - A
sensor unit 150 collects environmental information around the portable terminal or senses a user input to the portable terminal and a tilted state of the portable terminal. Thesensor unit 150 can be composed of a first sensor unit for collecting environmental information around the portable terminal, and a second sensor unit for sensing a user input to the portable terminal or a tilted state of the portable terminal. The first sensor unit can be configured, for example, by a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. The first sensor unit collects and transfers temperature information and humidity information to acontrol unit 180. The sensor unit can be configured by an acceleration sensor, a terrestrial magnetic field sensor, a gyro sensor, a touch sensor, and a proximity sensor. The second sensor unit senses a user input to the portable terminal or a tilted state of the portable terminal, and transfers a sensed result to thecontrol unit 180. Thesensor unit 150 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the foregoing sensors. An illumination sensor, an infrared sensor, a speech recognition sensor, and an image sensor (camera module) are some non-limiting examples of sensors that can be used as thesensor unit 150. - With continued reference to
FIG. 1 , aninput unit 160 receives a user's key operation signal for controlling the portable terminal and transfers of the key operation signal to thecontrol unit 180. The control unit is typically a microprocessor. Theinput unit 150 can be configured by a keypad with numeric keys, character keys, and arrow keys such as a 3*4 keyboard, a Qwerty keyboard. Theinput unit 150 may be configured by a touch pad. Theinput unit 160 generates input signals executing functions of a portable terminal according to a user's input, and transfers the input signals to thecontrol unit 180. Among sensors constituting thesensor unit 150, a sensor such as an acceleration sensor, a touch sensor, a gyro sensor, a terrestrial magnetic field sensor for sensing the user input can all provide a function as theinput unit 160. - A

control unit 180 controls overall operations of the portable terminal and signal flow between internal blocks therein. Thecontrol unit 180 controls the first sensor unit of thesensor unit 150 to collect environmental information around an exterior of the portable terminal. Thecontrol unit 180 extracts from thestorage unit 140 an image corresponding to the collected environmental information and the image change information. Thecontrol unit 180 controls the second sensor unit of thesensor unit 150 to sense a user input to the portable terminal or a tilted state of the portable terminal. Thecontrol unit 180 controls the display ofdisplay unit 170 to change and display the extracted image according to the extracted image change information and the sensed user input to the portable terminal or the sensed tilted state of the portable terminal. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, thecontrol unit 180 may extract from thestorage unit 140 sound or vibration pattern information corresponding to the collected environmental information.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating a method for providing UI by a portable terminal according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention. A sensor unit 150 (shown inFIG. 1 ) according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention preferably includes a first sensor unit and a second sensor unit. The first sensor unit is configured by a sensor collecting temperature information, and the second sensor unit is configured by a sensor sensing a tilted state of orientation of the portable terminal. - At step (210), a
control unit 180 controls the first sensor unit to collect current temperature information around a portable terminal. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, thecontrol unit 180 may control awireless communication unit 110 to collect temperature information from a server providing weather information through a wireless communication network. - At step (220), the
control unit 180 extracts an image corresponding to the collected temperature information and image change information from astorage unit 140. In the first exemplary embodiment, the image is an image of a material whose state can be changed according to a temperature. The material image is formed of a background image. For example, since a state of ‘water’ can be changed to ‘ice’, ‘water’, or ‘steam’, a ‘water’ image may correspond to an image of the first exemplary embodiment. To extract the image corresponding to the temperature information and the image change information, thecontrol unit 180 first checks material state (status) information corresponding to the collected temperature information. Material state information is stored in thestorage unit 140 by temperatures. Thecontrol unit 180 can check the material state information corresponding to the collected temperature information from thestorage unit 140. -
FIG. 3 is a view illustrating material state information classified by temperatures according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The material state information is stored that information to 0° C. is as ‘ice’, information of 0˜10° C. is as ‘melting’, information of 10˜15° C. is as ‘cool water’, information of 15˜25° C. is as ‘water’, information of 25˜30° C. is as ‘warm water’, and information greater than 30° C. is as ‘steam’. The temperature can be set to reflect or regardless of real properties of a material. For example, when the material is ‘water’, if real properties of the material are reflected, material state information of an ‘ice’ should be set to a temperature less than 0° C., and material state information of a ‘steam’ be set to a temperature greater than 100° C. However, because the portable terminal really exists in a room temperature, material state information can be optionally set based on a room temperature.FIG. 3 illustrates material state information according to temperature information optionally set based on the room temperature. - The
storage unit 140 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention stores an image corresponding to respective material state information, and image change information. The image corresponds to a material image capable of perceiving a material state intuitively (freezing water image in a case of ‘ice’, flowing water image in a case of ‘water’, steam image in a case of ‘steam’). The image change information may correspond to information regarding an image change amount or a changed speed according to a change in a tilted state of the portable terminal. Thecontrol unit 180 checks material state information and then extracts an image corresponding to the checked material state information and image change information. For example, when current temperature information is 17° C., thecontrol unit 180 checks that material state information is ‘water’ from thestorage unit 140 and then extracts an image (flowing water image) corresponding thereto and image change information (image change amount or changed speed according to a change in a tilted state) from thestorage unit 140. - At step (230), the
control unit 180 controls the second sensor unit to sense a tilted state of the portable terminal. The tilted state of the portable terminal is associated with a positioned pattern of the portable terminal. The portable terminal may lie, stand on a desk, or slants in up, down, left and right directions at given angle. Thecontrol unit 180 controls the second sensor unit configured by acceleration sensor or terrestrial magnetic field sensor to sense a tilted direction and angle of the portable terminal. - At step (240), the
control unit 180 controls thedisplay unit 170 to change and display the extracted image according to the extracted image change information and the collected tilted state information of the portable terminal. For example, thecontrol unit 180 may control thedisplay unit 170 to adjust and display a tilt of a background image (extracted image). In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, thecontrol unit 180 may control thedisplay unit 170 to display at least one icon on the background image together therewith. Upon displaying the at least one icon, thecontrol unit 180 controls thedisplay unit 170 to change and display a tilt or a position of the icon according to the image change information and tilted state information of the portable terminal.FIGS. 4A to 4C are views illustrating display screens displayed by providing a UI according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, respectively. Referring to the material states ofFIG. 3 , a background image shown inFIG. 4A is a material image of a ‘water’ state. A background image shown inFIG. 4B is a material image of a ‘melting’ state which shows a slight tilt angle difference thanFIG. 4A . A background image shown inFIG. 4C is a material image of an ‘ice’ state. Icons are illustrated inFIGS. 4A to 4C together with the background images, respectively. A portable terminal stands in a [b] ofFIG. 4A . The portable terminal slants in a left direction at a given angle in an [a] ofFIG. 4A . The portable terminal slants in a right direction at a given angle in a [c] ofFIG. 4 a. - The
control unit 180 displays a background image and an icon according to image change information (image change amount information according to a change in a tilted state) and a tilted state of a portable terminal sensed by the second sensor unit. The [b] ofFIG. 4A shows a background image of a pattern that a portable terminal is put in water and a plurality of icons on the background image. The [a] and [c] ofFIG. 4B change and display a pattern of a background image (tilt of water surface) and a tilt or position of an icon according to a tilted angle of the portable terminal. -
FIG. 4B shows a pattern of a background image and a tilt of an icon differently from those ofFIG. 4A in the same tilted state. In real properties of a material, melting water has liquidity and moving speed lower than those of completely melted water. Such real properties of a material are reflected such that an image change amount (image change information) according to a tilt corresponding to a ‘melting’ state is set a value less than that of a ‘water’ state. Accordingly, thecontrol unit 180 controls the second sensor unit to differently display an image according to the extracted image change information although the sensed tilted state of the portable has the same value. Upon comparing [a] and [c] ofFIG. 4B with [a] and [c] ofFIG. 4A , the portable terminal is displayed to slant at the same angle but a pattern of a background image (tilt of a water surface) and a tilt of an icon are differently displayed. This different display is the reason why image change information corresponding to a ‘melting’ state and image change information corresponding to a ‘water’ state are set to different values, respectively. - A background image configured by a material image of an ‘ice’ state and a plurality of icons are illustrated in
FIG. 4C . In this case, the background image and a plurality of icons are displayed to be fixed regardless of a tilted state of the portable terminal. Because an ice is in a solid state, a water surface is not changed according to a tilt. When a given solid material is also included in the ice, a solid material is fixed to an ice not to be moved. Such real properties of a material are reflected such that the portable terminal does not change and display a background image and an icon according to a tilted state in an ‘ice’ state. The [a] and [c] ofFIG. 4C indicate a pattern of the portable terminal of the [b] ofFIG. 4C slanting in left and right directions, respectively. In the [a] and [c] ofFIG. 4C , the background image and the icons are displayed not to be changed. Upon comparingFIGS. 4A to 4C with each other, when the portable terminal also slants in the same direction and angle, the reason for displaying different images is that image change information corresponding to a ‘water’ state, image change information corresponding to a ‘melting’, and image change information corresponding to an ‘ice’ are differently set. A user can estimate what is a current temperature based on tilts of a background image and an icon. - In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, after
step 240, thecontrol unit 180 controls asensor unit 150 or aninput unit 160 to sense whether a user touch is input in the portable terminal. When the touch input is sensed, thecontrol unit 180 may control thedisplay unit 170 to display an effect image on an area of the touch input. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, thecontrol unit 180 may also extract an effect image corresponding to the background image corresponding to current temperature information upon extracting the background image atstep 220. In this case, thestorage unit 140 stores a background image and an effect image corresponding to material state information. -
FIG. 4D indicates an effect image displayed when a user touches an icon.FIG. 4D displays an image of a broken ice around a touched icon when a user touches the icon in a state that a background image of an ‘ice’ state is displayed. Thestorage unit 140 stores an effect image corresponding to an ‘ice’ state. Thecontrol unit 180 extracts an effect image corresponding to collected current temperature information from thestorage unit 140. Thecontrol unit 180 also controls asensor unit 150 or aninput unit 160. When a user's touch input is sensed, thecontrol unit 180 controls thedisplay unit 170 to display the extracted effect image on a region of the touch input.FIG. 4D shows an exemplary embodiment in which a user touches an icon. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

Because a background image shown inFIG. 4D is a background image of an ‘ice’ state, a broken sound (‘ajak’) of an ice may be output when a user inputs a touch. As shown inFIG. 4A , if a background image of a ‘water’ state is displayed, a falling sound of water drops may be output when a user inputs a touch of the screen. Due to different sound and vibration pattern information being stored according to temperature information, when a current temperature varies, a user may receive varied sound or vibration UI. - An exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a step of setting a kind of a material displayed as an image before performing
step 210. There are various materials whose state varies according to a temperature. Respective materials have different patterns (e.g., colors). Further, because state variation occurs in different temperatures (e.g., boiling point, freezing point) according to materials, states of the materials may be different in the same temperature condition. For example, wine, perfume, beer, juice, milk, and coffee are different in shape, and state variation occurs in different temperatures from each other. The listed materials can be selectively provided when a material displayed as an image is selected. The portable terminal may include a menu for selecting a kind of a material to be used as an image. When a user selects the menu, the portable terminal lists display selective materials. When a user selects one material, the portable terminal constructs a background image as an image associated with the selected material. Thestorage unit 140 stores material state information by materials according to temperatures. Thecontrol unit 180 may extract an image and image change information (or sound or vibration pattern information) using material state information according to a temperature range associated with a material selected by a user. - A first exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a corresponding UI (output image, sound, vibration) to a user using a first sensor unit collecting temperature information and a second sensor unit collecting tilted state information of the portable terminal such that the user can feel improved emotional pleasure.

control unit 180 analyzes the collected temperature information and humidity information to check whether they correspond to an occurrence condition of condensation or frost formation. Thestorage unit 140 stores information regarding an occurrence condition of condensation or frost formation. Thecontrol unit 180 compares the collected temperature information and humidity information with the stored occurrence condition of condensation or frost formation. The occurrence condition of condensation or frost formation can be set to reflect an occurrence condition of real condensation or frost formation, or as given data. - At step (530), when the collected temperature information and humidity information correspond to the occurrence condition of condensation or frost formation, the
control unit 180 extracts a condensation or frost formation image corresponding to the collected temperature information and humidity information and image change information from thestorage unit 140.

However, the condensation or frost formation image is continuously display in an area on which the drag is not input. - In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, required touch input intensity can differently set to remove the condensation and frost formation images. In practice, removing frost formed on a window requires a force stronger than that in removing humidity formed on the window. Such properties of a material are reflected and an image change information is set. A touch input intensity required to remove the frost formation image is stored to be greater than that required to remove the frost formation image. A user should input a drag to increase an input intensity larger in a case of removing the frost formation image than that of removing the condensation image. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, image changing information can be set to correspond to the input number of touches instead of the touch input intensity. In this case, the input number of touches required to remove the frost formation image is stored to be greater than that required to remove the condensation image. For example, removing the condensation image may require one drag, but removing the frost formation image may require a plurality of drags.
- In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, after performing
step 560, thecontrol unit 180 controls the second sensor unit to sense whether a touch is input to a part from which the condensation or frost formation image is removed. When an icon is disposed on the part from which the condensation image or the frost formation image is removed, and is touched, thecontrol unit 180 may execute a function corresponding to the touched icon.

The first sensor unit is a sensor capable of collecting temperature information. The second sensor unit is a sensor sensing a motion input to the portable terminal. - At step (710), the
control unit 180 controls the first sensor unit to collect current temperature information around a portable terminal. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, thecontrol unit 180 may control awireless communication unit 110 to collect temperature information from a server providing weather information through a wireless communication network. - At step (720), the
control unit 180 extracts an image corresponding to the collected temperature information and image change information from astorage unit 140. In a third exemplary embodiment, the image is of a material whose state varies according to a temperature, and a material image is configured by an icon. In the same manner as in the first exemplary embodiment, an image of ‘water’ being a material whose state varies to ‘ice’, ‘water’, and ‘steam’ according to a temperature is applicable to the third exemplary embodiment. Further, respective images of other materials whose states vary according to a temperature are applicable to the third exemplary embodiment. An icon according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be configured by a 2D or 3D image, according to a type of display screen used. Astorage unit 140 stores material state information by temperatures. Acontrol unit 180 checks material state information corresponding to collected temperature information from thestorage unit 140. The material state information by temperatures shown inFIG. 3 is equally applicable to the third exemplary embodiment. Thestorage unit 140 stores a corresponding image and image change information by material states. The image corresponds to a material image (cube or square (ice), globe or circle (water), a set of small globes or circles (steam)). The image change information may correspond to moving speed of an icon or icon change information according to a motion input to the portable terminal. - At step (730), the
control unit 180 controls adisplay unit 170 to display an extracted image (icon). Thecontrol unit 180 controls thedisplay unit 170 to display icons according to a preset arrangement method. At step (740), thecontrol unit 180 controls the second sensor unit to sense a motion input to the portable terminal. The motion according to the third embodiment of the present invention may include tapping, snapping, shaking, and tilting. The second sensor unit according to the third exemplary embodiment of the present invention is preferably configured by one or more of an acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, or terrestrial magnetic field sensor. In the third exemplary embodiment of the present invention, it is assume that a snapping or shaking motion is input to the portable terminal. Snapping refers to a motion input with more than set acceleration in a given direction. When a user input a motion in the portable terminal, at step (750) thecontrol unit 180 senses a motion input and controls thedisplay unit 170 to change and display an image according to the extracted image change information and the sensed motion input. Namely, when the second sensor unit senses a movement of the portable terminal and transfers it to thecontrol unit 180, thecontrol unit 180 changes and displays an icon according to image change information extracted based on moving information and current temperature information of the portable terminal received from the second sensor unit. -
FIGS. 8A to 8C are views illustrating display screens displayed by providing a UI according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, respectively. In accordance withFIG. 3 , an artisan should appreciate thatFIG. 8A shows an image of an ‘ice’ state,FIGS. 8B and 8C show an image of a ‘water’ state.FIG. 8A shows a pattern in which a cubical icon of 3D image is rotated. Thecontrol unit 180 changes and displays an icon based on intensity and a direction of a motion that a user input in the portable terminal, and icon information itself (image change information). In practice, when a cubical ice piece is put in a closed case and shaken, the ice piece moves in the case. In the present invention, real properties of a material are reflected in a method for providing UI in a portable terminal, and thecontrol unit 180 rotates and displays an icon according to the intensity and direction of a motion input to the portable terminal. -
FIG. 8B shows a pattern that a circular icon of a 3D image is rotated. When the same intensity of a motion is practically applied to a water drop and an ice piece, moving speed of the ice piece is higher than that of the water drop. The present invention reflects such real properties of a material. Referring toFIGS. 8A and 8B , assuming that the same intensity of a motion is input to the portable terminal, icons ofFIG. 8A and icons ofFIG. 8B are displayed that the icons ofFIG. 8A is rotated faster than those ofFIG. 8B . -
FIG. 8C shows a changed pattern of an icon when a user slants the portable terminal displaying an icon shown inFIG. 8C in a leftward direction. Namely,FIG. 8C shows a pattern that two global icons located in a right side are moved to a left side to be combined with two global icons located in the left side. A pattern of the two combined icons is shown to be similar to that of two combined water drops. Image change information extracted atstep 720 contains icon change information. The image change information refers to pattern change information of an icon according to a motion input. For example, icon change information corresponding to an ‘ice’ is information not to change an image shape according to the motion input. Icon change information corresponding to ‘water’ is information that combines and displays a plurality of icons into one icon according to the motion input. - In the same manner as in the first exemplary embodiment, the
storage unit 140 may also store sound or vibration pattern information corresponding to current temperature information in the third exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In this case, thecontrol unit 180 also extracts sound or vibration pattern information upon extracting an image and image change information corresponding to current temperature information atstep 720. The extracted sound or vibration pattern information can be used to output sound or vibration according to a user's motion input. In a case where the sound or vibration pattern information corresponding to an ‘ice’ is set as a sound or vibration pattern occurring when an ice piece strikes against a wall, the sound or vibration pattern is also extracted when an icon and image change information corresponding to an ‘ice’ are extracted by thecontrol unit 180. - When a user inputs a motion in the portable terminal in a state that an icon of an ‘ice’ shape shown in
FIG. 8A is displayed, thecontrol unit 180 controls anaudio processing unit 120 or avibration output unit 130 to output sound or vibration according to the extracted sound or vibration pattern information. Further, in a case where sound or vibration pattern information corresponding to ‘water’ is set as a sound or vibration pattern occurring when water drop strikes against a wall, the sound or vibration pattern is also extracted when the icon and image change information corresponding to ‘water’ are extracted by thecontrol unit 180. When a user inputs a motion in the portable terminal in a state that an icon of a ‘water’ shape shown inFIG. 8 b is displayed, thecontrol unit 180 controls anaudio processing unit 120 or avibration output unit 130 to output sound or vibration according to the extracted sound or vibration pattern information. In practice, vibration intensity when an icon piece strikes against a wall is greater than that when a water drop strikes against the wall. Such real properties of a material are reflected in the portable terminal such that vibration occurring in an icon in a ‘water’ state is stronger than that in an icon in a ‘water’ state. - A third exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a corresponding UI (image, sound, vibration output) to a user using a first sensor unit collecting temperature and a second sensor unit sensing a motion input to the portable terminal such that the user can feel improved emotional pleasure in using the portable terminal.

FIG. 9 is a flow chart illustrating a method for providing a UI by a portable terminal according to a fourth exemplary embodiment of the present invention. A fourth exemplary embodiment of the present invention illustrates a procedure for providing UI to a terminal user in transmitting and receiving contents by a first portable terminal and a second portable terminal. In the fourth exemplary embodiment of the present invention, each of the first portable terminal and the second portable terminal includes a near distance wireless communication unit. Eachsensor unit 150 of the first portable terminal and the second portable terminal preferably includes a first sensor unit and a second sensor unit. The first sensor unit preferably comprises a sensor collecting temperature information, and the second sensor unit is a sensor sensing a motion input to the portable terminal. It is assumed that eachcontrol unit 180 of the first portable terminal and the second portable terminal controls the first sensor unit to collect temperature information, and extracts a background image and image change information corresponding to the collected temperature information from astorage unit 140. - Now referring to
FIG. 9 , at step (905), the first portable terminal and the second portable terminal control respective near distance wireless communication units to perform communication connection with each other. Bluetooth, Wifi, or Zigbee communication is preferably used as a communication connection technology between the first portable terminal and the second portable terminal. For example, when the Bluetooth communication technology is used, a Bluetooth module is included in each of the first portable terminal and the second portable terminal. The first portable terminal and the second portable terminal perform pairing with each other to connect for communication. - Next, at step (910), the
control unit 180 of the first portable terminal sets a current portable terminal mode to a contents transmission mode. In more detail, when a user of the first portable terminal selects a contents transmission function included in the first portable terminal and selects at least one contents to be transmitted, thecontrol unit 180 sets the portable terminal mode to the contents transmission mode. Consequently, at step (915) acontrol unit 180 of the second portable terminal sets a current portable terminal mode to a contents receiving mode. - At step (920), the
control unit 180 of the first portable terminal controls thedisplay unit 170 to display contents icons and a background image to be transmitted. The background image is an image extracted according to current temperature information. At step (925), thecontrol unit 180 of the second portable terminal controls thedisplay unit 170 to display a background image. The background image displayed on the second portable terminal is also included in an extracted image according to current temperature information.FIG. 10 is a view illustrating a display screen displayed by providing a UI according to a fourth exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In example <a> ofFIG. 10 , a background image being a material image in a liquid state and contents icons associated with contents to be transmitted are illustrated in a first portable terminal. A background image being a material image in a liquid state is illustrated in the second portable terminal. - At step (930), the
control unit 180 of the first portable terminal controls a second sensor unit to sense a tilt input. - When the second sensor unit senses the tilt of the first portable terminal, at step (935) the
control unit 180 controls thedisplay unit 170 to change and display a background image and contents icons corresponding to the input tilt. For example, thecontrol unit 180 controls thedisplay unit 170 to change and display a water surface of a material image in a liquid state according to a tilted direction and angle, and to move and display contents icons according the tilted direction and angle. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, thecontrol unit 180 may change and display the background image and the contents icons according to the input tilt and the extracted image change information. Namely, the background image and the contents icons may be differently displayed according to current temperature information in the same tilted state. - At step (940), the
control unit 180 of the first portable terminal controls the second sensor unit to sense tilt of the first portable terminal. When it is determined that the tilt of the first portable terminal is equal to or greater than a threshold tilt atstep 940, thecontrol unit 180 controls a near distance wireless communication unit to transmit contents to the second portable terminal. At step (950), thecontrol unit 180 of the first portable terminal controls thedisplay unit 170 to remove and display a contents icon associated with transmitted contents. It appears as though the contents are “poured” from the first terminal display to the second terminal display. - At step (955), the
control unit 180 of the second portable terminal receives contents and checks whether contents reception is terminated. When the contents reception is terminated, then at step (960) thecontrol unit 180 of the second portable terminal controls thedisplay unit 170 to generate and display a contents icon associated with the received contents. - Example <b> of
FIG. 10 illustrates display screens of the first portable terminal and the second portable terminal when one contents are transmitted to the second portable terminal. The first portable terminal displays four contents icons from which one contents icon is removed. One contents icon is generated and displayed on the second portable terminal. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, thecontrol unit 180 of the first portable terminal may control adisplay unit 170 to remove and display a contents icon associated with contents transmitted after transmitting termination of contents. Further, thecontrol unit 180 of the second portable terminal may control adisplay unit 170 to generate and display contents icons associated with contents being received before receiving termination of contents. - The transmission of contents is performed until at least one contents selected by a user for transmission is completely transmitted to the second portable terminal. Each time the contents are transmitted, contents icons are removed and displayed, but the contents icons are generated and displayed. Example <c> of
FIG. 10 illustrates a pattern that at least one contents selected by a user is all transmitted from the first portable terminal to the second portable terminal. All contents icons are removed from display on the first portable terminal, but all five contents icons are generated and displayed on the second portable terminal. - In the same manner as in the first exemplary embodiment, each
storage unit 140 stores sound or vibration pattern information corresponding to current temperature information in a fourth exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Eachcontrol unit 180 of the first portable terminal and the second portable terminal may also extract sound or vibration pattern information in extracting an image corresponding to current temperature information and image change information. The extracted sound or vibration pattern information can be used to output the sound or vibration according to a tilt input. - In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the
control unit 180 of the first portable terminal may control a near distance wireless communication unit to check whether the second portable terminal approximates to the first portable terminal after performingstep 920. Only when the first portable terminal approximates to the second portable terminal, thecontrol unit 180 may set data to be transmitted. The first portable terminal checks for the presence of execution of data transmission according to a tilt input according to whether the second portable terminal is within approximate reception distance to the first portable terminal to perform communication therewith. Near Field Communication (NFC), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) or Infrared communication technology is preferably used to check whether portable terminals sufficiently approximate to each other to perform communication. The foregoing communication technology may not only recognize presence of approximation of a given object but also check information what device(s) are approximates thereto to perform communication therewith. Namely, the first portable terminal may check that the second portable terminal is approximate thereto to perform communication. When thecontrol unit 180 of the first portable terminal recognizes an approximation of the location of the second portable terminal through a near distance wireless communication unit, acontrol unit 180 of the second portable terminal also recognizes that the first portable terminal approximates thereto through the near distance wireless communication unit. - A fourth exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a corresponding UI (image, sound, vibration output) to a user using a first sensor unit collecting temperature and a second sensor unit sensing tilted state information the portable terminal such that the user can feel improved emotional pleasure and can intuitively judge a current data transmission state.

For example, a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor are all included in the portable terminal associated with the first sensor unit, a menu selecting whether to drive only a temperature sensor, only a humidity sensor, or both of them by a user can be included. Further, both of an acceleration sensor and a terrestrial magnetic field sensor are preferably included in the portable terminal associated with the first sensor unit, a menu selecting whether to drive only the acceleration sensor, only the terrestrial magnetic field sensor, or both of them by the user can be included. Further, a menu selecting whether to collect temperature information or humidity information using a first sensor or to collect weather information through a
wireless communication unit 110 may be included. Moreover, a menu selecting what UI is provided among the first to fourth exemplary embodiments. - In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the temperature information and the humidity information collected by the first sensor unit are applicable to an application screen of a portable terminal showing a real background. For example, in a case of a portable terminal executing a navigation function, a map of a 3D image can be displayed similar to a real background (roads, buildings).
- The
control unit 180 controls the first sensor unit to collect temperature information or humidity information. When the temperature is high, thecontrol unit 180 displays heat haze on a road using the collected temperature information. When humidity is high, thecontrol unit 180 may display water drop in air using the collected humidity information. Further, the portable terminal may control thewireless communication unit 110 to receive weather information and apply it to an application screen showing a real background. For example, thecontrol unit 180 receives weather information using thewireless communication unit 110. When thecontrol unit 180 receives weather information that it is raining now, it may show a rainy image on a 3D image map. - The above-described methods according to the present invention can be realized in hardware or vi the execution of software or computer code that can be stored in a recording medium such as, for example, a CD ROM, a DVD, a RAM, thumbnail drive, a floppy disk, a flash storage, a hard disk, or a magneto-optical disk or downloaded over a network, so that the methods described herein can be executed by such software using a general purpose computer, or a special processor, microprocessor or in programmable or dedicated hardware, such as an ASIC or FPGA.
