The first operation unit 123a is operated to receive a command for controlling the operation of the mobile terminal 100 , and input contents may be variously set. For example, a command such as power on/off, start, end, scroll, etc., control of the sound output from the first and second sound output units 152a and 152b, and a touch recognition mode of the display unit 151 You can receive commands such as switching of The first manipulation unit 123a may be implemented in a form capable of input by a touch input, a push input, or a combination thereof.

Meanwhile, the mobile terminal 100 may be provided with a fingerprint recognition sensor for recognizing a user's fingerprint, and the controller 180 may use fingerprint information detected through the fingerprint recognition sensor as an authentication means.

At least one antenna for wireless communication may be provided in the terminal body. The antenna may be built into the terminal body or formed in the case. For example, the antenna forming a part of the broadcast reception module 111 (refer to FIG. 1 ) may be configured to be withdrawable from the terminal body. Alternatively, the antenna may be formed in a film type and attached to the inner surface of the rear cover, and a case including a conductive material may be configured to function as an antenna.

A power supply unit 190 (refer to FIG. 1 ) for supplying power to the mobile terminal 100 is provided in the terminal body. The power supply unit 190 may include a battery built into the terminal body or detachably configured from the outside of the terminal body.

When the battery is detachably configured to the terminal body, the rear cover may be detachably coupled to the rear case.

Based on the front (or front) of the mobile terminal 100 , the swivel body 200 and the main body 300 may be provided in corresponding shapes. In particular, the swivel body 200 and the main body 300 may have a bar-shaped appearance as a whole, and a rectangular shape with respect to the front surface. In this case, the rectangle means a substantial rectangle. A direction parallel to the long edge of the rectangle is defined as a longitudinal direction of each body 200 and 300 , and a direction parallel to the short edge is defined as a width direction of each body 200 , 300 .

----Rollable terminal standard drawing----

4 is a front view of a first state and a second state according to an embodiment of the mobile terminal, and FIG. 5 is a rear view of the first state and the second state according to an embodiment of the mobile terminal. 4 (a) and 5 (a) are views illustrating a first state in which the mobile terminal is reduced, and FIGS. 4 (b) and 5 (b) are views in a second state in which the mobile terminal is enlarged. is a diagram showing

As shown, the mobile terminal 100 in the first state is in a reduced state, and has a smaller size than the mobile terminal 100 in the second state. In addition, the size of the display 151 positioned on the front of the mobile terminal 100 is also smaller than that in the second state. The mobile terminal 100 in the first state may be converted to the second state by expanding in the first direction D1. In the second state, as shown in FIG. 4(b), the size of the mobile terminal 100 and the size of the display unit 151 located on the front are larger than those of the first state, as shown in FIG. 5(b). As shown, the size of the display unit 151 located on the rear surface is reduced. That is, some of the display unit 151 positioned on the rear surface of the mobile terminal 151 in the first state moves to the front of the mobile terminal 100 in the second state. Also, the mobile terminal 100 may operate in the extended display mode as the second frame is expanded and may operate in the reduced display mode as the second frame is contracted. In this case, the extended display mode may correspond to the above-described first state, and the reduced display mode may correspond to the second state.

In the following description, the direction in which the mobile terminal 100 and its display 151 are extended or enlarged is the first direction D1, and the second state is contracted to be switched from the second state to the first state (contact or retract). Alternatively, the reduced direction is referred to as a second direction D2, and a direction perpendicular to the first and second directions D1 and D2 is referred to as a third direction. The first and second directions are horizontal directions and the third direction is described based on a vertical direction. However, depending on the arrangement of the mobile terminal 100 , the first and second directions may be vertical directions, and the third direction is horizontal. direction can be

The display 151 may be coupled to the body so that the display area visible from the front of the body can be varied as the display 151 is switched between the extended display mode and the reduced display mode. That is, the display 151 may cover the front, side, and rear surfaces of the body. In this case, the display 151 may be implemented as the flexible display unit 151 of FIG. 1 . In one embodiment of the present invention, as the second frame is expanded, the display part located on the side of the body can move to the front of the body, and the display part located on the back of the body can move to the front through the side of the body. there is. In addition, as the second frame is contracted, the display portion positioned at the front of the body may move to the side of the body or may move to the rear through the side of the body.

In this way, the display unit may use the flexible display unit 151 that is bent so that the position of the display unit can be changed. The flexible display unit 151 is a display unit that can maintain a flat state like a conventional flat panel display, and can be bent, bent, folded, twisted, or curled like paper. It refers to a durable display that is manufactured on a thin and flexible substrate and is not easily broken. It can be bent in a specific direction like paper, and the flexible display unit of the present invention can be arranged so that the curvature can change in the first direction.

In addition, electronic paper is a display technology to which the characteristics of general ink are applied, and may differ from the conventional flat panel display in that it uses reflected light. Electronic paper can change information by using a twisted ball or by using electrophoresis using a capsule.

In a state in which the flexible display unit 151 is not deformed (eg, a state having an infinite radius of curvature, hereinafter referred to as a basic state), the display area of the flexible display unit 151 becomes a flat surface. In a state deformed by an external force from the basic state (eg, a state having a finite radius of curvature, hereinafter referred to as a deformed state), the display area may be a curved surface. As shown, the information displayed in the deformed state may be visual information output on the curved surface. Such visual information is implemented by independently controlling the emission of sub-pixels arranged in a matrix form. The unit pixel means a minimum unit for realizing one color. When an external force is applied to the flexible display unit 151 , the flexible display unit 151 may be deformed from a flat state to a curved state instead of a flat state.

Meanwhile, the flexible display unit 151 may be combined with a touch sensor to implement a flexible touch screen. When a touch is made to the flexible touch screen, the controller 180 (refer to FIG. 1 ) may perform a control corresponding to the touch input. The flexible touch screen may be configured to sense a touch input not only in the basic state but also in the deformed state.

The touch sensor senses a touch (or touch input) applied to the touch screen using at least one of a variety of touch methods, such as a resistive method, a capacitive method, an infrared method, an ultrasonic method, and a magnetic field method.

As an example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in pressure applied to a specific part of the touch screen or a change in capacitance occurring in a specific part of the touch screen into an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect a position, an area, a pressure at the time of touch, an electrostatic capacitance at the time of touch, etc. in which a touch object applying a touch on the touch screen is touched on the touch sensor.

On the other hand, the mobile terminal 100 may be provided with a deformation detection means for detecting the deformation of the flexible display unit 151 . Such deformation detecting means may be included in the sensing unit 140 (refer to FIG. 1).

The deformation detecting means may be provided in the flexible display unit 151 or the case (first and second frames 101 and 102 to be described later) to detect information related to deformation of the flexible display unit 151 . Here, the information related to the deformation may be a direction in which the flexible display unit 151 is deformed, a deformed degree, a deformed position, a deformed time, and an acceleration at which the deformed flexible display unit 151 is restored. In addition, the flexible display unit 151 may be various types of information detectable due to bending.

In addition, the control unit 180 changes information displayed on the flexible display unit 151 based on the information related to the deformation of the flexible display unit 151 detected by the deformation detecting means, or the mobile terminal 100. It is possible to generate a control signal to control the function of

Also, the deformation of the flexible display unit 151 may vary depending on the positions of the first frame 101 and the second frame 102 . As shown in FIG. 4 , since the bent position of the flexible display unit 151 is determined according to the positions of the first frame and the second frame, the first frame 101 and the second frame instead of the deformation detecting means of the flexible display unit 151 are 2 Depending on the position of the frame 102 , the bending deformation position and the front area of the flexible display unit 151 may be calculated.

The change of the state of the flexible display unit 151 (first or second state), that is, the size change of the display unit 151 in the front and the rear of the mobile terminal 100 according to the size change of the mobile terminal 100, It may be performed manually by a force applied by a user, but is not limited to such a manual method. For example, when the mobile terminal 100 or the flexible display unit 151 has a first state, it may be transformed into a second state by a command from a user or an application without an external force applied by the user. In order to automatically deform the flexible display 151 without external force as described above, the mobile terminal 100 may include a driving unit.

The flexible display unit 151 of the present invention is bent 180 degrees while wrapping around the side of the mobile terminal 100 in the first direction. Accordingly, a part of the flexible display unit 151 is disposed on the front side of the mobile terminal 100 based on the side of the mobile terminal 100 , and the other part of the flexible display unit 151 is located on the back side of the mobile terminal 100 . are placed For convenience of description, the flexible display unit 151 located at the front is referred to as a front side, and the flexible display unit 151 located at the rear side is referred to as a rear side. As shown in FIG. 4 , the mobile terminal may be expanded in a first direction or contracted in a second direction opposite to the first direction. In this case, the area of the flexible display unit 151 located in the front changes. That is, the sizes of the front part and the rear part may vary according to a change in the state of the mobile terminal.

A part of the flexible display unit 151 located on the front side of the mobile terminal 100 may be fixedly fixed to the front side of the first frame 101 , and the other part of the flexible display unit 151 located on the rear side of the mobile terminal 100 is It may be provided movably on the rear surface.

In addition, the flexible display unit 151 may be wound or unwound from the side of the mobile terminal in the first direction, and accordingly, a portion disposed on the rear surface of the mobile terminal 100 is moved to move the flexible display unit 151 of the flexible display unit 151 . The size of the area disposed in front of the mobile terminal 100 may be adjusted. Since the area of the flexible display unit 151 is fixed and it is composed of one continuous body, when the area of the front portion increases, the area of the rear portion decreases. Such a display unit 151 may be wound in a second frame 102 that is relatively movable to a first frame 101 to be described later, precisely on the side of the second frame 102 in the first direction, In order to adjust the area of the display unit 151 on the front side of the mobile terminal 100 , it is wound around the second frame 102 according to the moving direction of the second frame 102 and withdrawn from the second frame 102 . or pulled out) or inserted into it (insert or pushed into). This operation will be described in more detail below along with other related components of the mobile terminal 100 .

Typically, the antenna is provided in the case or housing of the mobile terminal 100, but the portion where the antenna is installed in the case or housing is limited by the flexible display unit 151 that covers the front and rear surfaces of the mobile terminal 100. can be For this reason, an antenna may be implemented on the flexible display unit 151 . Antenna on display (AOD) is a type of antenna in which a patterned electrode layer and a dielectric layer are layered to form a transparent film. The built-in display antenna can be implemented thinner than the laser Direct Structuring (LDS) technology implemented by the existing copper nickel plating method, so it has the advantage of not being exposed to the outside with little effect on the thickness. Also, the built-in display antenna may directly transmit/receive a signal from the display unit 151 . Accordingly, in the mobile terminal 100 in which the display unit 151 is positioned on both sides as in the present invention, a built-in display antenna can be used.

----Foldable terminal standard drawing----

6 is a perspective view of the foldable mobile terminal 100 viewed from one direction in an unfolded state according to an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the foldable mobile terminal 100 of the present invention may include a configuration corresponding to one type of the mobile terminal 100 of FIG. 1 .

The present invention relates to a foldable mobile terminal 100 including a display unit 210 on a pair of bodies 201 and 202 that fold around a hinge unit 301 .

The pair of bodies 201 and 202 of the present invention includes a first body 201 and a second body 202 connected through a hinge portion 301 . In the mobile terminal 100 of the present invention, in a fully folded state, the first body 201 and the second body 202 may be overlapped, and in the fully unfolded state, the first body 201 and the second body 202 are One plane can be configured.

The display unit 210 of the present invention outputs visual information and can be folded together with a pair of bodies 201 and 202 that are folded into a flexible display. The display unit 201 may be provided on one surface of the pair of bodies 201 and 202 . Specifically, the display unit 201 corresponds to the first area 211 supported by the first body 201 , the second area 212 supported by the second body 202 , and the hinge unit 301 . A third region 213 may be included. Here, the third region 213 is provided between the first region 201 and the second region 202 and can be folded and unfolded corresponding to the folding mechanism of the first body 201 and the second body 202 . .

7 is a view showing a foldable mobile terminal viewed from a folded state according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, FIG. 7A is a view of the side of the foldable mobile terminal 100 provided with the hinge unit 301 in a folded state. 7B is a front view of the foldable mobile terminal 100 in a folded state. FIG. 7C is a view of the foldable mobile terminal 100 as viewed from the lower side in a folded state.

The mobile terminal 100 of the present invention may be folded in an in-folding manner or in an out-folding manner. The in-folding method and the out-folding method may be classified in a direction in which the pair of bodies 201 and 202 are folded.

The in-folding method is a method in which a pair of bodies 201 and 202 are folded in a direction including the display unit 201 (refer to FIG. 6 ), and FIG. 7 shows the in-folding method. In the in-folding method, the display unit 201 may be exposed to the outside in the unfolded state without being overlapped and not exposed to the outside in the folded state.

The out-folding method is a method in which the display unit 201 is folded in a direction opposite to that in which it is provided. In the out-folding method, the pair of bodies 201 and 202 may be exposed to the outside in both a folded state and an unfolded state. The present invention is characterized in that it detects a folding angle and acquires external information in response to the folding angle, and is applicable to an out-folding method in addition to the in-folding method.

Hereinafter, embodiments related to a control method that can be implemented in the mobile terminal configured as described above will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential characteristics of the present invention.

8 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration module of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. The block diagram of FIG. 8 is for better explaining the embodiment of the present invention, and the mobile terminal described below may be implemented as the mobile terminal shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 .

Referring to FIG. 8 , the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a body 810 , a display 820 , and a controller 830 .

The body 810 is hardware constituting the mobile terminal 100 and may be implemented with the hardware shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 described above. That is, the body 810 is composed of a swivel body and a main body to drive a swivel mobile terminal, or to drive a rollable mobile terminal including a first frame and a second frame, or a first body and a first body connected through a hinge. 2 It is possible to drive a foldable mobile terminal including the body.

However, the swivel mobile terminal, the rollable mobile terminal, and the foldable mobile terminal are merely examples of hardware for applying the embodiment of the present invention and are not limited thereto.

The display 820 may display visual information. Here, the visual information may include text, an indicator, an icon, content, an application, an image, and a video. Also, the display 920 may output visual information to the screen based on a control command of the controller 940 .

In an embodiment of the present invention, the display 820 outputs an application. In this case, the display 820 may output an application based on the control of the controller 830 . Hereinafter, a method of expressing an application having a non-scrollable attribute as intended by a developer will be described in detail.

In addition, as described above in FIG. 1 , the display 820 may be implemented as a touch screen by forming a mutually layered structure or integrally formed with the touch sensor, but the output function and the touch function may be individually controlled. This will be described in detail in the drawings below.

The controller 830 may process data, control each unit of the mobile terminal 900 described above, and control data transmission/reception between the units. In the present invention, the controller 830 may be implemented as the controller 180 of FIG. 1 .

Operations performed by the mobile terminal 100 may be controlled by the controller 830 . However, for convenience, in the drawings and the following description, these operations are collectively described as being performed/controlled by the mobile terminal 100 .

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 31 . In describing and understanding the embodiments of the present invention below, reference may be made to the contents described above in relation to FIGS. 1 to 8 .

9 is a diagram for explaining a problem in that an application that does not consider a screen ratio is output.

Referring to FIG. 9A , the developer of the application 910 may develop the application 910 in anticipation of the 16:9 aspect ratio of the mobile terminal in general. Here, the aspect ratio of 16:9 is merely an example, and other aspect ratios are also possible.

However, various mobile terminals that have been recently developed do not have a uniform aspect ratio of 16:9, and the user can set the aspect ratio or divide an area inside the display to use it. In particular, since a user has a need to simultaneously execute a plurality of applications on a display, the mobile terminal needs to use a divided screen.

Hereinafter, FIGS. 9 (b) and (c) describe an embodiment in which an application 910 is output to a divided area in a mobile terminal having an aspect ratio of 16:9, and FIG. 9 (d) is a rollable display. An embodiment in which the application 910 is output to a divided area on an extended display in a mobile terminal or a foldable mobile terminal will be described.

For example, referring to FIGS. 9B to 9D , the mobile terminal may output the application 910 to the divided area of the display. In this case, the aspect ratio of the divided area may correspond to 1:1. Accordingly, the application 910 may generate a cropped area 911 unlike output in the existing 16:9 aspect ratio. That is, when the output screen ratio is changed, a layout compatibility problem may occur when the application 910 is executed.

This is a problem that occurs because the developer of the existing application developed the application without expecting the extended display to be divided or the case where the aspect ratio of the display is 1:1.

However, this is not a big problem if the application 910 has a scrollable attribute. This will be described with reference to FIG. 10 .

10 is a diagram for describing a case in which an application has a scrollable attribute or a non-scrollable attribute.

Fig. 10 (a) illustrates application of a scrollable attribute, and Fig. 10 (b) illustrates application of a non-scrollable attribute. Here, the scrollable property means that the screen can be moved up and down or left and right. That is, the scrollable property means that when a user touches an output screen and then drags it up, down, or left and right, the screen moves up, down or left and right.

In more detail, the screens 1010a and 1010b of FIGS. 10A and 10B may correspond to screens actually output on the display ( 151 of FIG. 1 ) of the mobile terminal. Accordingly, the horizontal and vertical sizes of the screens 1010a and 1010b may correspond to a previously determined state. For example, the horizontal and vertical sizes of the display included in the main body of the swivel terminal have an aspect ratio of 1:1. As such, the horizontal and vertical sizes of the screens 1010a and 1010b have fixed values because the body of the mobile terminal is made of hardware.

In this case, the mobile terminal may add content views 1030a and 1030b to the container views 1020a and 1020b in order to output the application to the screens 1010a and 1010b.

Here, the content screens 1030a and 1030b are screens actually defined or implemented by a user, and may correspond to a screen actually viewed by the user. The content screens 1030a and 1030b may have a scrollable attribute or a non-scrollable attribute according to a developer's implementation. For example, the first content screen 1030a may have a scrollable attribute, and the second content screen 1030b may have a non-scrollable attribute.

Accordingly, when the first content screen 1030a is added to the first container screen 1020a, a user using the first content screen 1030a may scroll the first content screen 1030a.

On the other hand, when the second content screen 1030b is added to the second container screen 1020b, a user using the second content screen 1030b may scroll the second content screen 1030b.

That is, in relation to the problem presented in FIG. 9 , when the content screens 1030a and 1030b shown to the user have a scrollable attribute, a problem does not occur. On the other hand, when the application has a non-scrollable attribute like the second content screen 1030b, a user using the second content screen 1030b cannot use a partial area of the second content screen 1030b.

11 is a diagram for explaining a problem of an application having a non-scrollable attribute. 11 may refer to the drawing of FIG. 10(b). In this case, it may be assumed that the developer intends to output the application like the first screen 1100 .

However, when the application has a non-scrollable property, the first screen 1100 intended by the developer may not be properly output. That is, the display of the mobile terminal may correspond to the screen 1110 , and the container screen 1120 to which an application is added may have a non-scrollable property. In this case, the screen 1110 may have an aspect ratio of 1:1, and the first screen 1100 of the application intended by the developer may have an aspect ratio of 16:9.

The application may be added to the container screen 1120 in order to be output to the user. In this case, if the container screen 1120 has a non-scrollable property, there is a second area 1140a from which the frame of the application is cut or the developer intends. It may be output to the second screen 1140b instead of the first screen 1100 .

That is, an application or container screen having a scrollable attribute does not cause a problem with the second area 1140a or the second screen 1140b. Accordingly, a method for solving the problem of an application or container screen having a non-scrollable property is introduced below. Prior to this, the layout of the application with the non-scrollable property may have a stack-based layout and a relative position-based layout. Let's look at the problems that occur in each case.

12 is a diagram for explaining a problem in a stack-based layout. 12A shows a screen 1210 of an application intended by a developer. At this time, it is assumed that the application is developed in anticipation of being output to a screen having an aspect ratio of 16:9.

In particular, when an application is developed with a stack-based layout, it may have a layout structure as shown in FIG. 12B . The stack-based layout corresponds to the same meaning as the linear layout of Android or the stack view of IOS.

More specifically, the screen 1210 developed with a stack-based layout is characterized in that the first to sixth screens 1201, 1202, 1203, 1204, 1205, and 1206 are arranged in the order in which they are added.

On the other hand, as shown in (c) of FIG. 12 , when an application developed with a stack-based layout in anticipation of an aspect ratio of 16:9 is output to a screen having an aspect ratio of 1:1, the mobile terminal transmits the application to the seventh It can be output to the screen 1220 . That is, in the case of an application developed with a stack-based layout, the user cannot use the lower area of the first screen 1210 .

13 is a diagram for explaining a problem in a layout based on a relative position.

Similar to FIG. 12A , FIG. 13A shows a screen 1310 of an application intended by a developer. In this case, unlike FIG. 12 , the developer may set the layout based on the relative position of the screen of the application.

In particular, when a layout based on a relative position is developed, it may have a layout structure as shown in (b) of FIG. 13 . Relative position-based layout has the same meaning as Android's Relative Layout, Constraint Layout, or IOS's default layout.

More specifically, the screen 1310 developed as a layout based on relative position is characterized in that the first to sixth screens 1301, 1302, 1303, 1304, 1305, 1306 are arranged based on each other's positions. do. For example, in the relative position-based layout, assuming that the upper-left corner of the screen is the (0,0) point, the position of the first screen 1301 is determined based on the (0,0) coordinate, and the second It may refer to a layout in which the position of the second screen 1302 is determined based on the position of the first screen 1301 .

Also, for another example, the layout based on the relative position is at the top of the screen in the case of the first to fifth screens 1301, 1302, 1303, 1304, and 1305, and at the bottom of the screen in the case of the sixth screen 1306. It may mean a layout to arrange.

That is, the layout based on the relative position may refer to a layout in which the arrangement of the screen is determined based on the coordinates of another screen or screen.

At this time, as shown in (c) of FIG. 13 , when an application developed with a layout based on a relative location in anticipation of an aspect ratio of 16:9 is output to a screen having an aspect ratio of 1:1, the mobile terminal provides the application 7 may be output to the screen 1320 .

That is, when the application is developed with a layout based on a relative location, the seventh screen 1320 may include only the first screens 1301 to the third screen 1303 and the sixth screen 1306 . The mobile terminal does not output the fourth screen 1304 and the fifth screen 1305 and does not output the sixth screen ( 1306) can be output at the bottom of the screen. That is, in the case of an application developed with a layout based on a relative location, a problem occurs that the user cannot use the fourth screen 1304 and the fifth screen 1305 .

Hereinafter, a method of maintaining layout compatibility when outputting an application having a non-scrollable attribute will be described in detail.

14 is a diagram for explaining a method of maintaining layout compatibility in a stack-based layout.

In an embodiment of the present invention, when an application has a non-scrollable attribute and is output in a stack-based layout, the mobile terminal generates a scrollable screen, adds the scrollable screen to the screen, and adds the application to the scrollable screen It can be added and output to the screen.

More specifically, when the application 1430 has a stack-based layout and non-scrollable properties, the mobile terminal may generate the scrollable screen 1420 . Thereafter, the mobile terminal may add the stack-based application 1430 to the scrollable screen 1420 , and the scrollable screen 1420 may be output to the screen 1410 .

Accordingly, the user can scroll the application 1430 because the scrollable screen 1420 to which the application 1430 is added is a scrollable attribute even though the application 1430 itself has a non-scrollable attribute.

Also, in an embodiment of the present invention, when at least one of the horizontal or vertical length of the application 1430 is greater than the horizontal or vertical length of the screen 1410, the mobile terminal displays the application 1430 on the scrollable screen ( 1420) can be added to the output.

In more detail, the horizontal length of the application 1430 may be 9, the vertical length may be 16, the horizontal length of the screen 1410 may correspond to 9, and the vertical length may correspond to 9 . (This is a proportional number and does not mean an exact number.) At this time, since the vertical length of the application 1430 is longer than the vertical length of the screen 1410, the mobile terminal displays the application 1430 on the scrollable screen 1420. In addition, the scrollable screen 1420 may be added to the screen 1410 and output.

At this time, when the horizontal length of the application 1430 is greater than the horizontal length of the screen 1410, the mobile terminal may define the scrollable screen 1420 as a landscape mode, and the vertical length of the application 1430 is the screen ( If it is larger than the vertical length of the 1410 , the scrollable screen 1420 may be defined as a portrait mode.

Accordingly, the mobile terminal may output the non-scrollable application 1430 to the screen 1410 via the scrollable screen 1420 to solve problems such as screen cutoff or screen unused space.

15 is a view for explaining a method of maintaining layout compatibility in a layout based on a relative position.

In an embodiment of the present invention, when an application has a non-scrollable attribute and is output in a layout based on a relative position, the mobile terminal may create a virtual frame. The mobile terminal may add the generated virtual frame to the scrollable screen and may output the application by adding it to the virtual frame.

More specifically, when the application 1540 has a layout based on a relative position and non-scrollable properties, the mobile terminal may generate a virtual frame 1530 . The mobile terminal may add the application 1540 having a non-scrollable attribute to the virtual frame 1530 , and may add the virtual frame 1530 to the scrollable screen 1520 and output it on the screen 1510 .

Here, the mobile terminal may define a virtual frame 1530 for layout correction (aspect ratio correction). In this case, the aspect ratio of the virtual frame 1530 may be predetermined or set by a user.

In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, when the application 1540 is in the portrait mode, the mobile terminal sets a smaller value among the aspect ratios set in the application 1540 as the ratio of the x-axis, and in the landscape mode, the application 1540 ), the smaller value among the aspect ratios can be set as the ratio of the y-axis. Thereafter, the mobile terminal may generate the virtual frame 1530 based on the ratio of the x-axis or the ratio of the y-axis.

More specifically, when the application 1540 is in the portrait mode, since the horizontal ratio among the aspect ratios set in the application 1540 is a smaller value, the horizontal ratio of the application 1540 is set to that of the virtual frame 1530 . It can be set as a percentage of the x-axis. Similarly, when the application 1540 is in the landscape mode, since the vertical ratio among the aspect ratios set in the application 1540 is a smaller value, the vertical ratio of the application 1540 is the y-axis of the virtual frame 1530 . It can be set as a percentage.

Accordingly, the mobile terminal outputs the non-scrollable application 1540 to the screen 1510 through the virtual frame 1530 and the scrollable screen 1520, so that even if the screen ratio is different from the developer's intention, the application can be expressed as intended.

16 is a diagram for explaining an aspect ratio of a virtual frame that can be set by a user.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the aspect ratio, that is, the aspect ratio of the virtual frame of FIG. 15 is characterized in that it has a preset default value or a user set value.

In more detail, FIG. 16(a) is a diagram illustrating that a virtual frame has an aspect ratio of 16:9, which is a preset default setting value, and FIG. It is a diagram for explaining having an aspect ratio of :9. In this case, the user can variously set the aspect ratio of the virtual frame, such as 21:9, 19:9, or 16:9. That is, the mobile terminal may set the aspect ratio of the virtual frame differently according to the user's setting.

17 is a view for explaining an embodiment of switching the location of an application in a mobile terminal related to the present invention.

In the embodiment of Fig. 17, the mobile terminal related to the present invention may be the above-described swivel terminal as an example. That is, the body of the mobile terminal includes a swivel body 1710 and a main body 1720 , wherein the swivel body 1710 is rotatable with respect to the main body 1720 . In this case, the first display included in the swivel body 1710 has a first screen, and the second display included in the main body 1720 has a second screen. Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, the aspect ratio of the second screen of the second display of the main body 1720 is 1:1.

The mobile terminal outputs a first application 1711 having a non-scrollable property to a first display of the swivel body 1710 and a second application 1721 having a scrollable property to a second display of the main body 1720 can be printed out.

In an embodiment of the present invention, upon receiving a signal for changing the output positions of the first application 1711 and the second application 1721, the mobile terminal adds the first application 1711 to the scrollable screen to 2 can be output to the screen of the display. For example, the mobile terminal may receive a user input signal for touching the first application 1711 and then dragging it in the direction of the second application 1721 .

More specifically, when the first application 1711 having a non-scrollable attribute is output through the first display of the swivel body 1710 , the user may use the entire screen of the first application 1711 . However, when the first application 1711 having a non-scrollable attribute is output through the second display of the main body 1710, the above-described problem may occur if it does not go through a scrollable screen (not shown).

In order to solve this problem, the mobile terminal generates a virtual frame (not shown) according to whether the first application 1711 is stack-based or relative position-based, and adds it to the scrollable screen. 2 You can output through the display.

Accordingly, the first application 1711 output after being added to the scrollable screen may be scrollable by the user even if it has a non-scrollable attribute.

In addition, although the first application 1711 and the second application 1721 have been described by taking another application as an example, the first application 1711 and a new application (not shown) generated by the first application 1711 are also applied. Of course it is possible. For example, when a home screen is output to the swivel body 1710 and a third application included in the home screen is selected, when a third application is output to the main body 1720, the embodiment of FIG. 17 is also applied. can do.

18 is a diagram for explaining an embodiment of switching the location of an application in a mobile terminal related to the present invention. Hereinafter, descriptions overlapping with the embodiment of FIG. 17 will be omitted.

In the embodiment of Fig. 18, the mobile terminal related to the present invention may be the above-described rollable terminal as an example. That is, the body of the mobile terminal includes a first frame and a second frame, wherein the second frame is expandable or contractible from the first frame, and as the body expands or contracts by the second frame, the display visible from the front of the body It is characterized in that the size of the region is variable.

In particular, due to the extension of the second frame, the size of the display area viewed from the front of the body may be larger than that of a general mobile terminal. Accordingly, the mobile terminal may output one or more applications by dividing the display area.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal outputs the first application 1811 to the first area 1810 , the second application 1821 to the second area 1820 , and the third area 1820 ) to output the third application 1831 . In this case, the first area 1810 may correspond to the left area of the display, the second area 1820 may correspond to the upper right area, and the third area 1830 may correspond to the lower right area. Accordingly, the second area 1820 and the third area 1830 may have an aspect ratio of 1:1. Also, the first application 1811 may correspond to an application having a non-scrollable attribute.

In one embodiment of the present invention, in response to receiving a signal for changing the output positions of the first application 1811 and the second application 1821 , the mobile terminal moves the first application 1811 to the second area 1820 . output, and the second application 1821 may be output to the first area 1810 .

In this case, when the first application 1811 having a non-scrollable attribute is output to the first area 1810 that is a large screen, the user may use the entire screen of the first application 1811 . However, when the first application 1811 having a non-scrollable attribute is output to the second area 1820 having an aspect ratio of 1:1, if it does not go through a scrollable screen (not shown), the above-described problem may occur. can That is, there is a problem that the fourth area 1840 of the first application cannot be used.

To solve this problem, the mobile terminal may generate a virtual frame based on the layout of the first application 1811 , add it to the scrollable screen, and then output it through the second area 1820 .

Accordingly, since the first application 1811 is added to the scrollable screen, scrolling by the user may be possible even if it has a non-scrollable attribute.

19A and 19B are diagrams for explaining an embodiment of outputting a related application according to a swivel operation in a mobile terminal related to the present invention. 19A illustrates an embodiment in which an application related to the main body is output according to a swivel operation, and FIG. 19B describes an embodiment in which an application related to the swivel body is output according to a swivel operation.

In an embodiment of the present invention, when the swivel body 1910 is switched from the pre-rotation state to the post-rotation state, the mobile terminal displays an application related to the application being output on the display of the swivel body 1910 of the main body 1920. It can be output to the display.

In more detail, referring to the left drawing of FIG. 19A , a state in which the swivel body 1910 and the main body 1920 of the mobile terminal overlap each other is shown. In this case, the mobile terminal may output the first application 1911 to the swivel body 1910 .

In an embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal may output the first application 1911 to the display of the swivel body 1910 .

Referring to the right drawing of FIG. 19A , when the mobile terminal detects a swivel motion while the first application 1911 is output on the display of the swivel body 1910, the first application is displayed on the display of the main body 1920 A second application 1912 associated with 1911 may be output.

Here, the swivel operation may correspond to the operation of rotating the swivel body 1910 by 90 degrees to form a right angle with the main body 1920 . The swivel operation may be performed not only physically by a user, but may also be performed automatically by various signals. The mobile terminal may perform a swivel operation based on a user's command.

Also, the second application 1912 may be related to the first application 1911 or may correspond to a preset application. For example, when the first application 1911 is a message application and an address is included in the contents output from the message application, the mobile terminal may output a map application to the second application 1912 . Also, for another example, when the first application 1911 is a camera application, the second application 1912 may correspond to a gallery application according to a user setting.

Even in the case of the above-described operation, when the second application 1912 has a non-scrollable attribute, it may be output through a scrollable screen. That is, when the mobile terminal detects a swivel motion, the mobile terminal generates a scrollable screen based on the properties of the second application 1912 output on the display of the main body 1920 and then displays the second application 1912 on the scrollable screen. may be added and output to the display of the main body 1920 .

19B is similar to the embodiment of FIG. 19A , but the first application 1911 being output from the swivel body 1910 is output to the display of the main body 1920 according to the swivel operation, and is associated with the first application 1911 . An embodiment in which the second application 1912 is output to the display of the swivel body 1910 will be described.

More specifically, referring to the left drawing of FIG. 19B , when the mobile terminal detects a swivel motion while the first application 1911 is output on the display of the swivel body 1910, the main body 1920 of The first application 1911 may be output to the display, and the second application 1912 associated with the first application 1911 may be output to the display of the swivel body 1910 .

In this case, when the first application 1911 has a non-scrollable attribute, a method of generating a scrollable screen and outputting it on the display of the main body 1920 may be equally applied to FIG. 19B .

20 is a view for explaining an embodiment of outputting applications from a list of recently used applications in a mobile terminal related to the present invention.

The recently used application list 2040 may include a first application icon 2031 , a second application icon 2032 , a third application icon 2033 , and a fourth application icon 2034 .

In one embodiment of the present invention, when the mobile terminal receives a signal for selecting the second application icon 2032 and then dragging it briefly to the display of the swivel body 2010, the second application ( 2042) can be printed.

Further, in another embodiment of the present invention, when receiving a signal to drag the third application icon 2033 to the display of the main body 2020 after selecting the third application icon 2033, the mobile terminal is displayed on the display of the main body 2020. A third application 2043 may be output.

At this time, whether the second application 2042 output on the display of the swivel body 2010 is scrollable does not matter, but in the case of the third application 2043, since it is output on the display of the main body 2020, the non-scrollable property In the case of having, the above-described problem occurs.

In an embodiment of the present invention, when the third application 2043 has a non-scrollable attribute, when outputting it to the display of the main body 2020, the mobile terminal may generate and output a scrollable screen. Accordingly, the user can scroll even when the third application 2043 has a non-scrollable attribute.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal outputs a pop-up window 2230 corresponding to the notification upon receiving the notification, and responds to the notification based on a signal for selecting the pop-up window 2230 can output the application 2241 that does.

More specifically, referring to FIG. 22A , upon receiving the notification, the mobile terminal may output a pop-up window 2230 corresponding to the notification on the display of the swivel body 2210 . . In this case, when a plurality of notifications are received, of course, the mobile terminal may output a plurality of pop-up windows 2230 .

The mobile terminal may output the application 2241 corresponding to the first notification on the display of the main body 2220 based on a signal for selecting the pop-up window 2231 corresponding to the first notification. For example, the user may touch the pop-up window 2231 corresponding to the first notification.

In this case, when the application 2241 has a non-scrollable attribute, the mobile terminal may add the application 2241 to the scrollable screen and output it on the display of the main body 2220 .

Similarly, referring to FIG. 22B , as the mobile terminal receives the notification, the mobile terminal may output a pop-up window 2230 corresponding to the notification on the display of the main body 2220 . When receiving a signal for selecting the pop-up window 2231 corresponding to the first notification, the mobile terminal may output the application 2241 corresponding to the first notification on the display of the main body 2220 . .

22 (b), as in FIG. 22 (a), if the application 2241 has a non-scrollable property, the application 2241 can be added to the scrollable screen and output to the display of the main body 2220. there is. Also, when the mobile terminal outputs the application 2241 on the display of the main body 2220 , the mobile terminal may end the output of the previously output notification pop-up window 2230 .

23A and 23B are diagrams for explaining an embodiment of outputting an application upon receiving a notification in a mobile terminal related to the present invention. Hereinafter, the embodiment of FIGS. 23A and 23B may be understood with reference to FIG. 22 . 23A and 23B, the mobile terminal related to the present invention may be a rollable terminal as an example.

Referring to the first drawing of FIG. 23A , a mobile terminal having an extended display outputs a first application 2311 to a first area 2310 , and outputs a second application 2321 to a second area 2320 , , the third application 2331 may be output to the third area 2330 .

Referring to the second drawing of FIG. 23A , the mobile terminal may output a pop-up window 2340 corresponding to the notification as the notification is received while applications are output to the divided area. In this case, when receiving a plurality of notifications, the pop-up window 2340 may include a plurality of notification pop-ups.

Referring to the third drawing of FIG. 23A , as the mobile terminal receives a signal for selecting the pop-up window 2341 corresponding to the first notification, instead of the third application 2331 output to the third area 2330 A fourth application 2342 corresponding to the first notification may be output. For example, the user may touch the pop-up window 2341 corresponding to the first notification.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal may output an application corresponding to the notification to a preset area among the first area 2310 , the second area 2320 , and the third area 2330 . In this case, the preset area corresponds to an area set by the user, corresponds to an area in which a history in which the fourth application 2342 has been previously executed, or has priority among the first area 2310 to the third area 2330 . (priority) may correspond to the highest or lowest region.

In addition, if the fourth application 2342 has a non-scrollable property, the mobile terminal adds the fourth application 2342 to the scrollable screen when outputting it to the third area 2330 having an aspect ratio of 1:1. You can print later.

Referring to the first drawing of FIG. 23B , a mobile terminal having an extended display outputs a first application 2311 to a first area 2310 and a second application 2321 to a second area 2320 . can That is, unlike in FIG. 23A , a region divided into two may be provided instead of a region divided into three.

31 is a flowchart illustrating an operation flow of a framework of a mobile terminal for explaining an embodiment of the present invention. Each step of FIG. 31 described below may be controlled by the controller of FIG. 1 . In addition, the mobile terminal performing the control method of FIG. 31 may include the above-described swivel terminal, rollable terminal, and foldable terminal. In addition, the following flowchart is a framework inside the mobile terminal for understanding the above-described embodiment, and the above-described embodiment is not limited thereto, and it goes without saying that the above-described embodiment may be implemented by other methods.

In step S3101, the mobile terminal may use a screen having an aspect ratio of 1:1. In addition, the screen with the aspect ratio of 1:1 is only given as an example, and the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to all cases where the screen ratio of the screen and the screen ratio of the application intended by the developer are different.

In step S3102, the mobile terminal may launch an activity. Here, the activity may correspond to an application component in which the mobile terminal provides a screen on which a UI exists to the user. That is, executing the activity means that the mobile terminal outputs a screen for interaction with the user. Also, one application may consist of several activities.

In step S3103, the mobile terminal may apply an xml layout file to activity set content. That is, as described above, since one application may consist of several activities, the mobile terminal may apply the xml layout file to compile the activity set content.

In step S3113, in the case of a stack-based layout, the mobile terminal may determine whether at least one of the height and width of the root view is greater than the height or width of the screen.

In step S3114 , when at least one of the height or width of the root view is smaller than the height or width of the screen, the screen configuration may be completed because the root view does not need to scroll.

In step S3115, when at least one of the height or width of the root view is greater than the height or width of the screen, the mobile terminal may define a scrollable screen in a larger direction. For example, when the height of the root view is greater than the height of the screen, the mobile terminal may define a scrollable screen (portrait mode) capable of vertical scrolling. Also, for another example, when the width of the root view is greater than the width of the screen, the mobile terminal may define a scrollable screen (landscape mode) in which left and right scrolling is possible.

In step S3116, the mobile terminal may add the root view to the scrollable screen.

In step S3117, the mobile terminal may set the scrollable screen as the root view.

In step S3118, the mobile terminal may complete the screen configuration in the scrollable root view.

In step S3119, in the case of a layout based on a relative location, the mobile terminal may determine whether the root view is a portrait mode or a landscape mode.

In step S3120, when the root view is in the portrait mode, the mobile terminal may set a smaller value among the set aspect ratios as the ratio of the x-axis.

On the other hand, in step S3121, when the root view is in the landscape mode, the mobile terminal may set a smaller value among the set aspect ratios as the ratio of the y-axis.

In step S3122, the mobile terminal may define a virtual frame with a set direction and set value. In this case, the aspect ratio of the virtual frame may correspond to a preset basic setting value or a user setting value.

In step S3123, the mobile terminal may add the root view to the virtual frame.

In step S3124, the mobile terminal may add the virtual frame to the scrollable screen.

In step S3125, the mobile terminal may set the scrollable screen as the root view.

In step S3126, the mobile terminal may complete the screen configuration in the scrollable root view.
