Meanwhile, the sensing unit 140 senses at least one of information in the mobile terminal, surrounding environment information surrounding the mobile terminal, and user information, and generates a sensing signal corresponding thereto. The controller 180 may control driving or operation of the mobile terminal 100 or perform data processing, function or operation related to an application program installed in the mobile terminal 100 based on the sensing signal. 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 or absence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface or an object present in the vicinity without using a mechanical contact by using an electromagnetic force or infrared rays. The proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in an inner region of the mobile terminal covered by the touch screen described above or near the touch screen.

Examples of the proximity sensor 141 include a transmission photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor. In the case where the touch screen is capacitive, the proximity sensor 141 may be configured to detect the proximity of the object by the change of the electric field according to the proximity of the conductive object. 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, an action of allowing the object to be recognized without being in contact with the touch screen so that the object is located on the touch screen is referred to as a "proximity touch", and the touch The act of actually touching an object on a screen is called a "contact touch." The position at which the object is in close proximity touch on the touch screen means a position where the object is perpendicular to the touch screen when the object is in close proximity touch. The proximity sensor 141 may detect a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (for example, a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, and a proximity touch movement state). have. Meanwhile, the controller 180 processes data (or information) corresponding to the proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern detected 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. Further, the controller 180 may control the mobile terminal 100 to process different operations or data (or information) according to whether the touch on the same point on the touch screen is a proximity touch or a touch touch. .

The touch sensor applies a touch (or touch input) applied to the touch screen (or the display unit 151) using at least one of various touch methods such as a resistive film method, a capacitive method, an infrared method, an ultrasonic method, and a magnetic field method. Detect.

As an example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in pressure applied to a specific portion of the touch screen or capacitance generated at the specific portion into an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect a position, an area, a pressure at the touch, a capacitance at the touch, and the like, when the touch object applying the touch on the touch screen is touched on the touch sensor. Here, the touch object is an object applying a touch to the touch sensor and may be, for example, a finger, a touch pen or a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like.

As such, 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 then transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. As a result, the controller 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component from the controller 180 or may be the controller 180 itself.

Meanwhile, the controller 180 may perform different control or perform the same control according to the type of touch object that touches the touch screen (or a touch key provided in addition to the touch screen). Whether to perform different control or the same control according to the type of touch object may be determined according to the operation state of the mobile terminal 100 or an application program being executed.

Meanwhile, the touch sensor and the proximity sensor described above may be independently or combined, and may be a short (or tap) touch, a long touch, a multi touch, a drag touch on a touch screen. ), Flick touch, pinch-in touch, pinch-out touch, swipe touch, hovering touch, etc. A touch can be sensed.

The ultrasonic sensor may recognize location information of a sensing object using ultrasonic waves. On the other hand, the controller 180 can calculate the position of the wave generation source through the information detected from the optical sensor and the plurality of ultrasonic sensors. The position of the wave source can be calculated using the property that the light is much faster than the ultrasonic wave, that is, the time that the light reaches the optical sensor is much faster than the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. More specifically, the position of the wave generation source may be calculated using a time difference from the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the light as the reference signal.

On the other hand, the camera 121, which has been described as the configuration of the input unit 120, includes at least one of a camera sensor (eg, CCD, CMOS, etc.), a photo sensor (or image sensor), and a laser sensor.

The camera 121 and the laser sensor may be combined with each other to detect a touch of a sensing object with respect to a 3D stereoscopic image. The photo sensor may be stacked on the display element, which is configured to scan the movement of the sensing object in proximity to the touch screen. More specifically, the photo sensor mounts a photo diode and a transistor (TR) in a row / column and scans contents mounted on the photo sensor by using an electrical signal that varies according to the amount of light applied to the photo diode. That is, the photo sensor calculates coordinates of the sensing object according to the amount of light change, and thus, the position information of the sensing object can be obtained.

The display unit 151 displays (outputs) information processed by the mobile terminal 100. For example, the display unit 151 may display execution screen information of an application program driven in the mobile terminal 100 or user interface (UI) and graphical user interface (GUI) information according to the execution screen information. .

In addition, the display unit 151 may be configured as a stereoscopic display unit for displaying a stereoscopic image.

A top-down method in which the left and right images are arranged up and down in one frame according to the way in which the left and right images are merged into three-dimensional stereoscopic images. L-to-R (left-to-right, side by side) method to be arranged as a checker board method to arrange the pieces of the left and right images in the form of tiles, a column unit of the left and right images Or an interlaced method of alternately arranging rows, and a time sequential (frame by frame) method of alternately displaying left and right images by time.

In addition, the 3D thumbnail image may generate a left image thumbnail and a right image thumbnail from the left image and the right image of the original image frame, respectively, and may be generated as one image as they are combined. In general, a thumbnail refers to a reduced image or a reduced still image. The left image thumbnail and the right image thumbnail generated as described above are displayed with a left and right distance difference on the screen by a depth corresponding to the parallax of the left image and the right image, thereby representing a three-dimensional space.

The left image and the right image necessary for implementing the 3D stereoscopic image may be displayed on the stereoscopic display by the stereoscopic processing unit. The stereoscopic processing unit receives 3D images (images of the base view and images of the extended view) and sets left and right images therefrom, or receives 2D images and converts them into left and right images.

The sound output unit 152 may output audio data received from the wireless communication unit 110 or stored in the memory 170 in a call signal reception, a call mode or a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, and the like. The sound output unit 152 may also output a sound signal related to a function (for example, a call signal reception sound or a message reception sound) performed in the mobile terminal 100. The sound output unit 152 may include a receiver, a speaker, a buzzer, and the like.

The haptic module 153 generates various haptic effects that a user can feel. A representative example of the tactile effect generated by the haptic module 153 may be vibration.
