Hereinafter, before describing various modes of Illustrative embodiment implemented by the mobile terminal 100, each of the aforementioned components will be described in more detail with reference to Figure 1A. With respect to the wireless communication unit 110, the broadcast receiving module 111 is typically configured to receive a broadcast signal and / or broadcast related information from an external broadcast management entity. via a broadcast channel. The broadcast channel may include a satellite channel, a terrestrial channel, or both. Two or more broadcast receiving modules may be used to facilitate the simultaneous reception of two or more broadcast channels, or to support switching among broadcast channels. The mobile communication module 112 may transmit and / or receive one or more wireless signals and one or more network entities. Typical examples of a network entity include a base station, an external mobile terminal, a server, and the like.

An example of wireless networks is a personal wireless network. In some embodiments, another mobile terminal (which may be configured similarly to the mobile terminal 100) may be a portable device, for example, a smart watch, smart glasses, or a headset (HMD), which is capable of exchanging data with the mobile terminal 100 (or otherwise cooperating with the mobile terminal 100). The short-distance communication module 114 can detect or recognize the portable device, and allow communication between the portable device and the mobile terminal 100. In addition, when the detected portable device is a device that is authenticated to communicate with the mobile terminal 100, the control apparatus 180, for example, may cause the processed data to be transmitted in the mobile terminal 100 to the portable device via the short-distance communication module 114. Thus, a user of the portable device may use the data processed in the mobile terminal 100 on the portable device. For example, when a call is received in the mobile terminal 100, the user can answer the call using the portable device. Also, when a message is received in the mobile terminal 100, the user can control the received message using the portable device.
[0019] The location information module 115 is generally configured to detect, calculate, derive or otherwise identify a position of the mobile terminal. For example, the location information module 115 includes a GPS module, a Wi-Fi module, or both. For example, when the mobile terminal uses a GPS module, a position of the mobile terminal can be acquired using a signal sent from a GPS satellite. As another example, when the mobile terminal uses the Wi-Fi module, a position of the mobile terminal can be acquired based on information related to a wireless access point (AP) which transmits or receives a signal without While necessary, the location information module 115 may perform a function of another module of the wireless communication unit 110 to obtain data from the Wi-Fi module. associated with a location of the mobile terminal as a replacement or additionally. The location information module 115 is a module used to acquire a location (or current location) of the mobile terminal, and may not be limited to a module that directly calculates or acquires the location of the mobile terminal. The input unit 120 may be configured to allow various types of input to the mobile terminal 120. Examples of such an input include audio, picture, video, data, and user input. The image and video input is often obtained by using one or more cameras 121. Such cameras 121 can process image frames of inanimate images or video obtained by image sensors. image in a video mode or image capture. The processed image frames may be displayed on the display unit 151 or stored in the memory 170. In some cases, the picture capturing apparatus 121 may be arranged in a matrix configuration to allow a plurality of pictures to be displayed. images having various angles or focal points to be input to the mobile terminal 100. As another example, the cameras 121 may be located in a stereoscopic arrangement for acquiring left and right images for implementing a stereoscopic image. The microphone 122 processes an external audio signal into electrical audio data. The processed audio data may be used in a variety of ways depending on a function currently being performed (or an application program currently running) in the mobile terminal 100. In the meantime, the microphone 122 may include matching noise elimination algorithms to eliminate an unwanted noise generated during the reception of the external audio. The user input unit 123 is a component that allows input by a user. Such user input may allow the controller 180 to control the operation of the mobile terminal 100. The user input unit 123 may include one or more of a mechanical input element or a mechanical key (e.g. a button located on a front and / or rear surface or a side surface of the mobile terminal 100, a curved switch, a pulse wheel, a pulse switch, and the like), or a touch input element, among others. As an example, the touch input element can be a virtual key, a programmable key or a visual key, which is displayed on a touch screen via software processing, or a touch key which is located on the mobile terminal at a location other than the touch screen. On the other hand, the virtual key or the visual key can be displayed on the touch screen in various forms, for example, a graphic, a text, an icon, a video, or an association thereof. The detection unit 140 is generally configured to detect one or more of internal information of the mobile terminal, environment information close to the mobile terminal, user information, or the like. The controller 180 generally cooperates with the detection unit 140 to control the operation of the mobile terminal 100 or to perform a data processing, a function or an operation associated with an application program installed in the mobile terminal as a function of the detection provided by the detection unit 140. The detection unit 140 may be implemented using any of a variety of sensors, some of which will now be described in more detail. Proximity sensor 141 refers to a sensor for detecting the presence or absence of an object approaching a surface, an object located near a surface, using an electromagnetic field, infrared rays , or the like without mechanical contact. The proximity sensor 141 may be arranged on an inner region of the mobile terminal covered by the touch screen, or near the touch screen.
[0020] The proximity sensor 141, for example, may include any of a transmissive type photoelectric sensor, a specular reflection photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation proximity sensor, a photoelectric sensor. capacitance proximity, magnetic proximity sensor, infrared proximity sensor, and the like. When the touch screen is implemented in capacitance form, the proximity sensor 141 can detect the proximity of a pointer to the touch screen by changes in an electromagnetic field, which responds to an approach of an object with conductivity. In this case, the touch screen (touch sensor) 10 can also be categorized as a proximity sensor. The term "touch in proximity" will often be used herein to denote the scenario in which a pointer is positioned to be close to the touch screen without touching the touch screen. The term "contact touch" will often be used herein to denote the scenario in which a pointer physically enters into contact with the touch screen. For the position corresponding to the touch in proximity of the pointer relative to the touch screen, such a position will correspond to a position where the pointer is perpendicular to the touch screen. Proximity sensor 141 can detect touch in proximity, and touch profiles in proximity (e.g., distance, direction, speed, time, position, state of motion, and the like). In general, the controller 180 processes data corresponding to proximity touches and proximity touch profiles detected by the proximity sensor 141, and results in visual information output to the touch screen. Further, the controller 180 may control the mobile terminal 100 to perform different operations or process different data depending on whether a touch, with respect to a point on the touch screen, is a touch in proximity or a touch contact. A touch sensor can detect a touch (or touch input) applied to the touch screen, such as the display unit 151, using any of a variety of touch methods. Examples of such touch methods include a resistive type, a capacitive type, an infrared type, and a magnetic field type, among others. For example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert changes in pressure applied to a specific portion of the display unit 151, or to convert a capacitance occurring on a specific portion of the display unit 151. display 151 as electrical input signals. The touch sensor can also be configured to detect not only an affected position and an affected area, but also tactile pressure and / or touch capacitance. A touch object is generally used to apply tactile input to the touch sensor. Examples of typical touch objects include a finger, a touch pen, a stylus, a pointer, or the like. When a touch input is detected by a touch sensor, corresponding signals can be transmitted to a touch control device. The touch control apparatus 10 can process the received signals, and then transmit corresponding data to the control apparatus 180. Therefore, the control apparatus 180 can detect the region of the display unit 151 which has been affected. Here, the touch control apparatus may be a separate component of the control apparatus 180, the control apparatus 180, and combinations thereof.
[0021] In some embodiments, the controller 180 may perform the same or different commands depending on a type of touch object that touches the touch screen or a touch key provided in addition to the touch screen. The fact of executing the same command or a different command depending on the object that provides a touch input can be decided according to a current state of operation of the mobile terminal 100 or an application program currently being executed, by example. The touch sensor and the proximity sensor can be used individually, in combination, to detect various types of touch. Such touches include a short touch, a long touch, a multi-touch, a touch-and-shoot, a quick touch, a close-in pinch, a separating pinch, a touch-and-slide , a floating feel, and the like. If desired, an ultrasonic sensor may be implemented to recognize positional information relating to a touch object using ultrasonic waves. The controller 180, for example, can calculate a position of a wave generation source based on information detected by a lighting sensor and a plurality of ultrasonic sensors. Since light is much faster than ultrasonic waves, the time during which the light reaches the optical sensor is much shorter than the time during which the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. The position of the wave generation source can be calculated using this fact. For example, the position of the wave generation source can be calculated using the time difference from the time at which the ultrasonic wave reaches the sensor as a function of light as a reference signal. The camera 121, which has been illustrated as a component of the input unit 120, typically includes at least one of an image capture device sensor (CCD, CMOS, etc.), a photo-sensor (or image sensors), and a laser sensor. The implementation of the camera 121 with a laser sensor can allow the detection of a touch of a physical object relative to a stereoscopic 3D image. The photo-sensor can be laminated on, or overlapped with, the display device. The photo sensor may be configured to scan a motion of the physical object near the touch screen. In more detail, the photo-sensor may include photodiodes and phototransistors in rows and columns for scanning content received in the photo-sensor using an electrical signal that changes according to the amount of light applied. Namely, the photo-sensor can calculate the coordinates of the physical object in a light variation to thereby obtain position information of the physical object. The display unit 151 is generally configured to output processed information in the mobile terminal 100. For example, the display unit 151 may display run screen information of an application program executed in the mobile terminal 100 or user interface (UI) and graphical user interface (GUI) information in response to the execution screen information. Also, the display unit 151 may be implemented as a stereoscopic display unit for displaying stereoscopic images. A typical stereoscopic display unit may use a stereoscopic display scheme such as a stereoscopic scheme (a glass scheme), an auto-stereoscopic scheme (non-glass scheme), a projection scheme (holographic scheme), or like.
[0022] The audio output module 152 is generally configured to output audio data. Such audio data may be obtained from any one of a number of different sources, so that the audio data may be received from the wireless communication unit 110 or may be received from the wireless communication unit 110 or may have been stored in the memory 170. The audio data may be output during modes such as a signal receiving mode, a call mode, a recording mode, an voice recognition, a broadcast reception mode, and the like. The audio output module 152 may provide an audible output associated with a particular function (eg, a call signal receiving sound, a message receiving sound, etc.) performed by the mobile terminal 100. The module audio output 152 can also be implemented as a receiver, speaker, horn, or the like. A haptic module 153 may be configured to generate various tactile effects that a user feels, perceives, or experiences otherwise. A typical example of a tactile effect generated by the haptic module 153 is vibration. The intensity, mode and the like of the vibration generated by the haptic module 153 can be controlled by user selection or setting by the control unit. For example, the haptic module 153 may output different vibrations in a combinatorial or sequential manner. In addition to the vibration, the haptic module 153 may generate various other tactile effects, including a pacing effect such as a vertically movable hair pin arrangement for contacting the skin, a spraying force or suction force. air through a jet orifice or suction aperture, a skin feel, an electrode contact, an electrostatic force, an effect by reproducing the sensation of cold and heat by using an element which can absorb or generate heat, and the like. The haptic module 153 can also be used to enable the user to feel a tactile effect through a muscular sensation, for example the fingers or the arm of the user, as well as the transfer of the tactile effect by direct contact. Two or more haptic modules 153 may be provided according to the particular configuration of the mobile terminal 100.
[0023] An optical output module 154 may output a signal to indicate event generation using light from a light source. Examples of events generated in the mobile terminal 100 may include message reception, call waiting, a missed call, an alarm, a calendar announcement, an email reception, a reception of information via an application, and the like. A signal outputted from the optical output module 154 may be implemented such that the mobile terminal transmits monochrome light or light with a plurality of colors. The output signal can be terminated when the mobile terminal detects that a user has controlled the generated event, for example. The interface unit 160 serves as an interface for external devices to be connected to the mobile terminal 100. For example, the interface unit 160 may receive data transmitted from an external device, receive data from the electrical energy to be transferred to elements or components within the mobile terminal 100, or to transmit internal data of the mobile terminal 100 to such an external device. The interface unit 160 may include wired or wireless headset ports, external power supply ports, wired or wireless data ports, memory card ports, ports for connect a device having an identification module, audio input / output (1/0) ports, video 1/0 ports, headset ports, or the like. The identification module may be a chip that stores various information to authenticate the authority to use the mobile terminal 100 and may include a user identity module (UIM), a subscriber identity module (SIM) ), a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM), and the like. In addition, the device having the identification module (also referred to herein as "identification device") may be in the form of a smart card. Therefore, the identification device can be connected with the terminal 100 via the interface unit 160. When the mobile terminal 100 is connected with an external docking station 30, the interface unit 160 may be used to allow electrical energy from the docking station to be supplied to the mobile terminal 100 or may be used as a gateway to allow various order signals input by the user from the docking station to be transferred to the mobile terminal through it.
[0024] Various order signals or electrical energy input from the docking station may serve as signals to recognize that the mobile terminal is properly mounted on the docking station. The memory 170 may store programs to support operations of the controller 180 and store input / output data (eg, phone book, messages, inanimate images, videos, etc.). The memory 170 can store related data to various vibration and audio profiles that are output in response to touch inputs on the touch screen. The memory 170 may include one or more types of storage media, including flash memory, hard disk, solid state disk (SSD), silicon disk drive (SDD), multimedia microcard, and card type memory (e.g., SD or DX memory, etc.), random access memory (RAM), static random access memory (SRAM), read only memory (ROM), erasable and electrically programmable read only memory (EEPROM), a programmable read only memory (PROM), a magnetic memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, and the like. The mobile terminal 100 may also be operated with respect to a network storage device which performs the storage function of the memory 170 via a network, such as the Internet.
[0025] As mentioned above, the controller 180 controls the operations associated with the application program and typically controls the general operations of the mobile terminal 100. For example, the controller 180 may set or release a lock state for prevent a user from entering a control command with respect to applications when a state of the mobile terminal satisfies a pre-set condition. The controller 180 may also perform the associated control and processing with voice calls, data communications, video calls, and the like, or perform pattern recognition processing to recognize a handwriting input or a handwritten input. drawing input made on the touch screen in the form of characters or images, respectively. In addition, the controller 180 may control a component or combination of these components to implement various illustrative embodiments described herein.
[0026] The electric power supply unit 190 receives external electrical power or provides internal electrical power and provides the appropriate electrical power supply required to operate respective elements and components included in the mobile terminal. The power supply unit 190 may include a battery, which is typically rechargeable or removably coupled to the terminal body for charging. The power supply unit 190 may include a connection port. The connection port may be configured, by way of example, of the interface unit 160 to which an external charger, to provide the power supply for charging the battery, is electrically connected. As another example, the power supply unit 190 may be configured to recharge the wireless battery without using the connection port. In the present example, the electric power supply unit 190 can receive electrical energy, transferred from an external wireless power transmitter, using at least one of an inductive coupling method. , which is based on a magnetic induction, or a magnetic resonance coupling process, which is based on electromagnetic resonance. Various embodiments described herein may be implemented in a computer readable medium, a machine readable medium, or the like using, for example, software, hardware, or any combination thereof. . Referring now to FIGS. 1B and 1C, the mobile terminal 100 is described with reference to a bar-type terminal body. However, the mobile terminal 100 may alternatively be implemented in any of a variety of different configurations. Examples of such configurations include a watch type, a bar type, an eyewear type, or a foldable type, flap type, sliding type, toggle type, and swivel type in which two, and more, bodies are associated with each other in a relatively mobile manner, and associations thereof. The description herein will often refer to a particular type of mobile terminal (eg, a bar type, a watch type, a spectacle type, and the like). However, such teachings with respect to a particular type of mobile terminal will generally apply to other types of mobile terminals as well.
[0027] Here, if one considers that the mobile terminal 100 is at least one set, the terminal body can be understood, as a design, referring to the set. The mobile terminal 100 will generally include a housing (eg, frame, housing, cover, and the like) forming the appearance of the terminal. In this embodiment, the housing is formed using a front housing 101 and a rear housing 102. Various electronic components are incorporated in a gap formed between the front housing 101 and the rear housing 102. At least one middle housing can further positioned between the front housing 101 and the rear housing 102.
[0028] The display unit 151 is shown located on the front side of the terminal body for outputting information. As illustrated, a window 151a of the display unit 151 may be mounted on the front housing 101 to form the front surface of the terminal body together with the front housing 101. In some embodiments, electronic components may Also, examples of such electronic components include a removable battery 191, an identification module, a memory card, and the like. The rear cover 103 is shown covering the electronic components, and this cover can be detachably coupled to the rear housing 102. Thus, when the rear cover 103 is removed from the rear housing 102, the electronic components mounted on the rear housing 102 are exposed externally. As illustrated, when the rear cover 103 is coupled to the rear housing 102, a side surface of the rear housing 102 is partially exposed. In some cases, when mating, the rear housing 102 may also be completely protected by the rear cover 103. In some embodiments, the rear cover 103 may include an opening for externally exposing a camera 121b or an audio output module 152b. The housings 101, 102, 103 may be formed by injection molding a synthetic resin or may be formed of a metal, for example, stainless steel (STS), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti) , or the like. Instead of the example in which the plurality of housings form an interior space for housing components, the mobile terminal 100 may be configured so that a housing forms the interior space. In the present example, a mobile terminal 100 having a uni-body is formed such that a synthetic resin or metal extends from a side surface to a back surface. If desired, the mobile terminal 100 may include a water seal unit (not shown) to prevent the introduction of water into the terminal body. For example, the water seal unit may include a water seal element that is located between the window 151a and the front housing 101, between the front housing 101 and the rear housing 102, or between the rear housing 102 and the rear cover 103, for sealing an interior space when these housings are coupled.
[0029] The mobile terminal 100 may include a display unit 151, first and second audio output modules 152a and 152b, a proximity sensor 141, a lighting sensor 142, an optical output module 154, first and second 121a and 12lb cameras, first and second handling units 123a and 123b, a microphone 122, an interface unit 160, and the like. Hereinafter, as illustrated in FIGS. 1B and 1C, a description will be given of the illustrative mobile terminal 100 in which the front surface of the terminal body is shown having the display unit 151, the first output module. 152a, the proximity sensor 141, the illumination sensor 142, the optical output module 154, the first camera 121a, and the first manipulation unit 123a, the lateral surface of the terminal body is shown. having the second manipulation unit 123b, the microphone 122, and the interface unit 160, and the rear surface of the terminal body is shown having the second audio output module 152b and the second camera 121b.
[0030] However, these components may not be limited to the arrangement. Some components may be omitted or rearranged or located on different surfaces. For example, the first handling unit 123a may be located on another surface of the terminal body, and the second audio output module 152b may be located on the side surface of the terminal body other than the rear surface of the terminal body. . The display unit 151 outputs information processed in the mobile terminal 100. For example, the display unit 151 may display run screen information of an application program running in the terminal 3025328. mobile 100 or user interface (UI) and graphical user interface (GUI) information in response to the execution screen information. The display unit 151 may be implemented using one or more suitable display devices. Examples of such suitable display devices include a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, a thin film transistor (TFT-LCD) display screen, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a flexible screen, a three-dimensional screen (3D), an electronic ink screen, and associations thereof. The display unit 151 may be implemented using two display devices, which may use the same technology or a different display technology. For example, a plurality of display units 151 may be arranged on one side, spaced from each other, or these devices may be integrated, or these devices may be arranged on different surfaces. The display unit 151 may also include a touch sensor that detects a touch input received on the display unit. When a touch is input to the display unit 151, the touch sensor can be configured to detect that touch and the controller 180, for example, can generate a control command or other signal corresponding to the touch. The content that is inputted in a tactile manner can be a text or a numerical value, or a menu item that can be integrated or designated in various modes. The touch sensor may be configured as a film having a touch profile, disposed between the window 151a and a display screen on a rear surface of the window 151a, or a wire which is patterned directly on the back surface of the window. the window 151a. Alternatively, the touch sensor may be formed integrally with the display screen. For example, the touch sensor may be disposed on a substrate of the display screen or within the display screen. The display unit 151 may also form a touch screen together with the touch sensor. Here, the touch screen can serve as a user input unit 123 (see Figure 1A). Thus, the touch screen can replace at least some of the functions of the first handling unit 123a. The first audio output module 152a may be implemented as a receiver for transferring call sounds to a user's ear and the second audio output module 152b may be implemented as a high speaker for outputting alarm sounds, multimedia audio reproduction, and the like. The window 151a of the display unit 151 will typically include an aperture to allow audio generated by the first audio output module 152a to pass. Another possibility is to allow audio to be released along an assembly gap between the structural bodies (for example, a gap between the window 151a and the front housing 101). In this case, an independently formed hole for outputting audio sounds may not be seen or otherwise camouflaged in appearance, thus further simplifying the appearance and fabrication of the mobile terminal 100. The optical output module 154 may be configured to exit the light to indicate an event generation. Examples of such events include message reception, call waiting reception, missed call, alarm, calendar announcement, email reception, receipt of information via an application, and the like. When a user has controlled a generated event, the controller 180 may control the optical output module 154 to stop the light output. The first camera 121a can process image frames such as inanimate or animated images obtained by the image sensor in a capture mode or a video call mode. The processed image frames can then be displayed on the display unit 151 or stored in the memory 170. The first and second handling units 123a and 123b are examples of the user input unit 123, which can be manipulated by user to provide input to the mobile terminal 100. The first and second handling units 123a and 123b may also be commonly referred to as manipulative parts, and may utilize any tactile method that allows the user to perform a manipulation such as touching, pushing, scrolling, or the like. The first and second handling units 123a and 123b may also utilize any non-tactile method that allows the user to perform manipulation such as proximity touch, stationary float, or the like.
[0031] Figure 1B illustrates the first handling unit 123a as a touch key, but other possibilities include a push button (or mechanical), a touch key, and combinations thereof. An input received in the first and second handling units 123a and 123b can be used in various ways. For example, the first handling unit 123a can be used by the user to provide menu entry, a home key, a cancel, a search, or the like, and the second handling unit 123b can be used by the user for providing an input for controlling a volume level outputted from the first or second audio output module 152a or 152b, to switch to a touch recognition mode of the display unit 151, or the like. As another example of the user input unit 123, a rear input unit (not shown) may be located on the rear surface of the terminal body. The rear input unit may be manipulated by user to provide input to the mobile terminal 100. The input may be used in a variety of different ways. For example, the rear input unit may be used by the user to provide an input to turn on, turn off, start, end, scroll, control the volume level output from the first or second audio output module 152a or 152b, switch to a touch recognition mode of the display unit 151, and the like. The rear input unit may be configured to allow touch input, push input, or combinations thereof. The rear input unit may be located to overlap the display unit 151 on the front side in a thickness direction of the terminal body. For example, the rear input unit may be located on a rear end portion of the rear side of the terminal body so that a user can easily manipulate it using the index when the user grips the terminal body with one hand. Alternatively, the rear input unit may be positioned at virtually any location on the rear side of the terminal body. When the rear input unit is provided on the rear surface of the terminal body, a new type of user interface using it can be implemented. Embodiments that include the rear input unit may implement some or all of the functionality of the first handling unit 123a in the rear input unit. As such, in situations where the first handling unit 123a is omitted from the front side, the display unit 151 may have a larger screen. As an additional possibility, the mobile terminal 100 may include a digital scanning sensor that scans a user's fingerprint. The control apparatus 180 can then use fingerprint information detected by the digital scan sensor as part of an authentication procedure. The digital scanning sensor may also be installed in the display unit 151 or implemented in the user input unit 123. The microphone 122 is shown at one end of the mobile terminal 100, but other locations are possible. If desired, multiple microphones can be implemented, such an arrangement for receiving stereo sounds. The interface unit 160 may serve as a path for the mobile terminal 100 to interface with external devices. For example, the interface unit 160 may include one or more of a connection terminal for connection to another device (e.g., a headset, an external speaker, or the like), a communication port for a near field (e.g., an IrDA port, a Bluetooth port, a wireless LAN port, and the like), or a power supply terminal for providing power to the mobile terminal 100. The unit interface 160 may be implemented in the form of a connector for housing an external card, such as a subscriber identification module (SIM), a user identification module (UIM), or a user card. memory for information storage. The second camera 121b is shown located on the rear side of the terminal body and includes an image capture direction which is substantially opposite to the image capture direction of a first camera unit. shots 121a. The second camera 121b may include a plurality of lenses arranged along at least one line. The plurality of lenses may also be arranged in a matrix configuration. Cameras may be referred to as "networked cameras". When the second camera 121b is operated as a networked camera, images can be captured in a variety of ways using the plurality of lenses and images with better qualities. A flash 124 is shown adjacent to the second camera 121b. When an image of a subject is captured with the image capture apparatus 121b, the flash 124 may illuminate the subject. The second audio output module 152b may be located on the terminal body. The second audio output module 152b may implement stereophonic sound functions together with the first audio output module 152a, and may also be used to implement a speaker phone mode for call communication. At least one antenna for wireless communication may be located on the terminal body. The antenna can be installed in the terminal body or formed by the housing. For example, an antenna that configures a portion of the broadcast receiving module 111 (see FIG. 1A) may be retractable into the terminal body. Alternatively, an antenna may be formed using a film attached to an inner surface of the back cover 103, or a housing that includes a conductive material. An electric power supply unit 190 for supplying electrical power to the mobile terminal 100 may include a battery 191, which is mounted in the terminal body or detachably coupled to an outside of the terminal body. The battery 191 can receive electrical energy via an electrical power source cable connected to the interface unit 160. Also, the battery 191 can be wirelessly recharged using a wireless charger. . The wireless charge can be implemented by magnetic induction or electromagnetic resonance. The rear cover 103 is shown coupled to the rear housing 102 to protect the battery 191, to prevent separation of the battery 191, and to protect the battery 191 from external impact or foreign matter. When the battery 191 is removable from the terminal body, the rear housing 103 can be detachably coupled to the rear housing 102. An accessory to protect an appearance or assist or increase the functions of the mobile terminal 100 can also be provided on the terminal. As an example of an accessory, a cover or cover for covering or housing at least one surface of the mobile terminal 100 may be provided. The cover or pocket can cooperate with the display unit 151 to increase the function of the mobile terminal 100. Another example of the accessory is a touch pen to assist or increase a touch input on a touch screen. Hereinafter, a description will be given of a communication system that is usable with the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention. A communication system that is usable with the variously described mobile terminals will now be described in more detail. Such a communication system 10 may be configured to use any of a variety of different radio interfaces and / or physical layers. Examples of such radio interfaces used by the communication system include frequency division multiple access (FDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), code division multiple access (CDMA), the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) (including Long-Term Evolution Technology (LTE), Long-Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) technology), the global communication system with mobiles (GSM), and the like. By way of non-limiting example only, a further description will relate to a CDMA communication system, but such teachings may also apply to other types of systems, including a wireless CDMA communication system as well as an OFDM wireless communication system (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing). A wireless CDMA communication system generally includes one or more mobile terminals (MT, or user equipment, UE) 100, one or more base stations (BSs, NodeB, or evolved NodeB), one or more base station controllers. (BSC), and a mobile service switching center (MSC). The MSC is configured to interface with a conventional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and BSCs. The BSCs are coupled to the base stations via terrestrial trunks. The terrestrial trunks may be configured according to any of a number of known interfaces, including, for example, El / Ti, ATM, IP, PPP, Frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL, or xDSL. Thus, the plurality of BSCs may be included in the wireless CDMA communication system. Each base station may include one or more sectors, each sector having an omnidirectional antenna or an antenna oriented in a particular direction radially opposite to the base station. Alternatively, each sector may include two or more different antennas. Each base station may be configured to support a plurality of frequency assignments, each frequency assignment having a particular spectrum (e.g., 1.25 MHz, 5 MHz, etc.).
[0032] The intersection of sector and frequency assignment may be referred to as the CDMA channel. Base stations can also be called base station transceiver (BTS) subsystems. In some cases, the term "base station" may be used to collectively refer to a BSC, and one or more base stations. Base stations can also be denoted by 15 "cell sites". Alternatively, individual sectors of a given base station may be called cell sites. A broadcast transceiver (BT) transmits a broadcast signal to the mobile terminals 100 operating within the system. The broadcast reception module 111 of FIG. 1A is typically configured within the mobile terminal 100 to receive broadcast signals transmitted by the BT. Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites for locating the position of the mobile terminal 100, for example, can cooperate with the wireless CDMA communication system. Useful position information can be obtained with more or fewer satellites than two satellites. It should be appreciated that other types of position sensing technology (i.e., location technology that may be used in addition to or instead of GPS tracking technology) may alternatively be implemented. If desired, at least one of the GPS satellites may alternatively or additionally be configured to provide satellite DMB transmissions.
[0033] Hereinafter, a description will be given of illustrative embodiments related to control methods that may be practiced in the mobile terminal having such a configuration, with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention may be specified in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential features of the present invention. A home screen and objects included in (or taken out of) the home screen will be described first, and then a method of controlling the home screen and included objects according to the present invention will be described. to be described. Figs. 2A, 2B and 2C are conceptual views each illustrating a home screen page on a mobile terminal in accordance with the present invention. A control apparatus 180 (see FIG. 1) of a mobile terminal in accordance with an illustrative embodiment described herein may output an idle screen, a home screen, or a menu screen on a display unit. The idle screen, the home screen, or the menu screen may include at least one graphic object, and the graphic object may be an icon associated with an application installed in the mobile terminal or a widget. Here, the icon may indicate a function of the execution of an application associated with each icon. Also, the widget may indicate a function of providing brief information or a function on a home screen without running an application. Whether or not the icon and the widget are moved to the idle screen, the home screen or the menu screen may be decided by a user selection.
[0034] Meanwhile, the idle screen, the home screen, or the menu screen, as shown in (a) of Fig. 2A, may include a plurality of home screen pages (or pages). 210 and 220 according to a user selection or the number of applications installed in the mobile terminal. The idle screen, the home screen, or the menu screen may include a home screen page 200, which outputs thereon a credential region, which provides information about the home screen portion, among the plurality of home screen pages to which currently output graphical objects belong, and graphic objects. The idle screen, the home screen or the menu screen may further include a base region 300 on which icons corresponding to specific applications preset by a user selection or the controller 180 are output in a fixed way.
[0035] The icons output on the base region 300 may be output continuously to the base region 300 even though a home screen page currently output 210 is swapped to another home screen page 220. The following description will be given of a "home screen page" which may include objects such as icons and the widget, without distinguishing separately the terms from the idle screen, the home screen or the home screen. the menu screen. The home screen page may have a size corresponding to the display unit 151 (see FIG. 1), and include a preset number of objects for facilitating recognition by the user.
[0036] Also, a home screen page that is currently output on the display unit 151 can be swapped to another home screen page, which is different from the home screen page currently output, in response to a touch gesture applied by the user. That is, the controller 180 may switch a first home screen page 210, which is currently output to the display unit 151, as illustrated in (a) of FIG. a second home screen page 220, as shown in (b) of Fig. 2A, in response to a touch gesture applied to the display unit 151. Although not shown, in addition to the first and second home screen pages 210 and 220, more home screen pages, such as third and fourth home screen pages, may be output on the display unit 151. The number of home screen pages can be decided by a user selection or by the number of applications installed in the terminal. As shown in (b) of Fig. 2B, the plurality of home screen pages 210 and 220 may simultaneously be output to the display unit 151 in response to the aforementioned touch gesture. One of the plurality of home screen pages may be output on the display unit 151 when the touch gesture is removed from the display unit 151. The home screen page, as is illustrated in (b) of Fig. 2B, can be displayed transparently so that edges and a surface of the home screen page can not be separated from other screens displayed on the display unit .
[0037] Namely, as shown in (b) of Figure 2B, the controller 180 may display objects (icons and the widget) included on the home screen pages, without surface area between the home screen pages. As illustrated in (c) of Fig. 2C, a background screen (or background image) 350 may be output on the display unit 151 according to a user selection or setting. by the controller 180. The controller 180 may control the display unit 151 to output the background screen 350 and the home screen page 210 overlapping. The controller 180 may control the display unit 151 to continuously output the background screen 350 when the home screen page 210, which is currently output on the display unit display 151, is swapped to another home screen page by a user selection. Also, the controller 180 may control the display unit 151 to output different background screens 350 with respect to a plurality of home screen pages, respectively.
[0038] In addition, the controller 180 may control the transparency of the display unit 151 so that graphical objects outputted to a home screen page and the background screen 350 may be displayed. distinguished from each other. For example, objects (the icons and the software gadget) included in the home screen page may be opaque out to overlap the background screen 350 to facilitate the distinction by the display. user. As described above, the home screen page may include the background screen 350 and the graphic objects, and the graphic objects may be output on the background screen 350 of way to overlap. Hereinafter, a description will be provided focusing on the home screen, but the present invention may also be applied to various embodiments, such as a home screen, a lock screen , an inactive screen of a lid and the like. Hereinafter, a description will be provided of graphic objects and a background screen displayed on a home screen page in more detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of arranging graphic objects on a home screen page in a mobile terminal in accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, and Figs. 4A and 4B are The present invention relates to a home screen page including a plurality of graphic objects on a display unit 151. Although the plurality of graphic objects are arranged on the home screen page, the layout of graphic objects may change. Also, the present invention can be applied to a case where positions of a plurality of graphic objects are also set when a home screen page is set. Hereinafter, a description will be provided of a control method of a display unit for not outputting a plurality of graphic objects on a specific region while the plurality of graphic objects are output on a page. home screen, but it can also be applied in a similar way to a position setting case for arranging graphic objects when setting a home screen page.
[0039] First, a mobile terminal in accordance with an illustrative embodiment described herein may display a home screen page including a plurality of graphic objects on a display unit (S310). A home screen page may be output on the display unit 151. The home screen page may be divided into at least one virtual region having a preset unit size. Here, the virtual region refers to a region that is not displayed on the home screen page, namely, a reference region for arranging graphic objects. In more detail, the controller 180 can decide the size and position of each graphic object according to the unit size.
[0040] For example, the home screen page can be divided into 20 regions each having a unit size corresponding to a 5 x 4 matrix. Here, the size of each region can be the same or different. Also, the number of virtual regions can be preset or adjusted by a user. The unit size of the virtual region may vary depending on the number of virtual regions. For example, when the home screen page is set to be divided into 12 regions corresponding to a 4 x 3 matrix, the controller 180 can control the display unit 151 to change the unit size and the number of virtual regions.
[0041] The home screen page can also output a background screen 350 and a plurality of graphic objects. Here, the plurality of graphic objects may be icons associated with applications installed in the mobile terminal or a widget.
[0042] The fact that the plurality of graphic objects are included or not on the home screen page may be decided by a user. For example, the controller 180 may control some of the user selected icons from icons, which are associated with a plurality of applications installed in the mobile terminal, for inclusion on the screen page. Home. Here, the fact that the icons are included on the home screen page may refer to the fact that icons are output on the home screen page. Meanwhile, the plurality of graphic objects can be output on the home screen page in different sizes from each other. Here, the size of each graphic object can be preset or adjusted by a user.
[0043] For example, when a preset touch (or a preset touch type) is applied to a graphical object output on the home screen page, the controller 180 may change a size of the graphical object to touch applied. In more detail, when a long touch is applied to a graphical object output on the home screen page, the controller 180 may perform a function of changing the size of the graphical object. Here, the controller 180 can change the size of the graphic object. in a size corresponding to a displacement length of a pull input applied to an edge of the graphic object. The plurality of graphical objects output on the home screen page may be arranged on the home screen page according to a user selection or a preset condition. Here, the positions of the plurality of graphic objects arranged on the home screen page can be based on virtual regions. In more detail, the controller 180 may arrange the plurality of graphics objects 30 to correspond to a size of at least one of a plurality of virtual regions. That is, the controller 180 may arrange the plurality of graphic objects at positions that are set according to the virtual region.
[0044] In the meantime, the mobile terminal in accordance with one illustrative embodiment of the present invention can then control the display unit 151 to arrange the plurality of graphic objects on the other region, with the exception of the specific region, from the exit region of the home screen page (S320).
[0045] In arranging the plurality of graphic objects on the home screen page in the mobile terminal according to an illustrative embodiment described herein, the plurality of graphic objects can be arranged on the screen. other region, with the exception of the specific region, the exit region of the home screen page.
[0046] Here, the specific region is a region where any of the plurality of graphic objects is not arranged on the home screen page, i.e., may be called a non-layout region. The specific region can be set according to a preset condition or according to a user selection. The preset condition may be related to a background screen output on the home screen page. For example, when the background screen includes a facial image, the preset condition may be a condition that a region with the facial image outputted thereon is set to the specific region. As another example, when the background screen is a landscape image, the preset condition may be a condition that a region on which a specific figure is output in the landscape is set to the specific region. . As another example, the controller 180 can adjust the specific region in response to a preset touch applied to the background screen. For example, the controller 180 may set a touch-sensitive region of an output region of the background screen to the specific region.
[0047] The specific region may have a variable size and position. In more detail, the controller 180 may change at least one of the size and position of the specific region according to a preset touch applied to the specific region. For example, when a touch having the same profile as a preset profile is detected on the specific region, the controller 180 can perform a change function of at least one of the size and position of the region. specific. Here, the controller 180 can change the at least one of the size and position in response to a pull input applied to the specific region. When the size and position of the specific region change, the controller 180 may also rearrange the plurality of graphical objects outputted to the home screen page so that the graphic objects are not outputted to the region. specific.
[0048] Also, executable functions on the mobile terminal may be associated with (or related to) the specific region where any of the graphical objects located on the home screen page is not outputted. For example, when a facial image of a particular person is output to the specific region, the controller 180 can recognize the face of the person and associate information related to the recognized face with the specific region. In more detail, the information related to the face may be telephone number information, email information, a photo and the like, which are pre-stored in the memory 170 of the mobile terminal. In addition, when any information has not been stored in the memory 170, the related information to the face may be information that a user enters directly. When a function is associated with the specific region, the controller 180 may perform the function in response to a preset touch applied to the specific region. Here, the preset touch can be a double touch, a touch with a specific profile, and the like, and can be freely set by the user. Meanwhile, when the specific region is set in the mobile terminal according to an illustrative embodiment described herein, the plurality of graphic objects may be arranged on the other region except for the specific region. Here, the controller 180 may arrange the plurality of graphics objects according to a preset condition. The preset condition can be set by the user or preset during the initial production of the mobile terminal. The preset condition may be a frequency of use of an application associated with a graphic object, a type of an application associated with a graphic object, a size of a graphic object and the like. For example, the controller 180 may arrange a graphical object with a smaller size on an upper portion of the display unit 151 and a larger size graphic object on a lower portion of the display unit. display 151 when arranging the graphic objects on the other region of the home screen page.
[0049] When the specific region is set, even when additional graphic objects (e.g., icons) are to be outputted to the home screen page, the mobile terminal according to an illustrative embodiment described herein may arrange the additional graphic objects (for example, the 5 icons) on the other region, except the specific region, from the home screen page. In the meantime, the number of graphic objects to be arranged on the other region may be limited. That is, since the number of the aforementioned virtual regions is limited on the other region, the number of graphical objects to be arranged on the other region can be limited depending on the virtual regions. Therefore, when the plurality of graphic objects included on the home screen page are not all displayed on the other region, the controller 180 may change sizes of at least some of the plurality of graphical objects or move at least some of the plurality of graphic objects to another home screen page which is different from the current home screen page. Here, when the sizes of the at least some graphic objects change, the controller 180 can adjust a unit size of the virtual region to a size corresponding to the changed sizes of the graphic objects. In addition, the controller 180 may adjust the unit size of the virtual region to adjust the number of graphical objects to be outputted to the home screen page. The foregoing description has been provided of the method of arranging the graphic objects on the home screen page, but the present invention may not be limited thereto. The present invention can also be applied in a situation in which screen information outputted on the display unit 151 is obscured by graphical objects that are output together with the screen information. In more detail, the present invention may be applied in a variety of situations, such as when graphical objects are output on a lock screen indicating a lock state of the mobile terminal, a case where a pop-up window is output on the screen. display unit to obscure other screen information, and the like.
[0050] Hereinafter, the control method will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As illustrated in (a) of Fig. 4A, the controller 180 may control the display unit 151 to output a home screen page which includes a background screen 350 and a plurality of graphic objects. Here, the controller 180 may set a specific region 400, on which the plurality of graphic objects are not to be output, from an exit region of the home screen page. For example, as illustrated in (a) of FIG. 4A, when a facial image is output on the background screen 350, the control apparatus 180 can adjust a facial region with the image face to the specific region 400 on which the plurality of graphic objects are not to be output. When the specific region is set on the home screen page, the controller 180 may arrange the plurality of graphic objects on the other region, except for the specific region 400. The controller 180 may decide on the arrangement positions of the plurality of graphic objects according to a preset reference. For example, as shown in (b) of FIG. 4A, the control apparatus 180 can sequentially arrange the plurality of graphic objects according to sizes thereof, starting from a graphic object with the the smallest size, from top to bottom of the display unit 151. Here, the control device 180 can control the display unit 151 to not arrange the plurality of graphic objects on the specific region 400 In more detail, as illustrated in (a) of Fig. 4A, a graphics object (or software gadget) 401 may be output to the specific region 400. Here, the controller 180 may move the a graphic object 401, which is currently output on the specific region 400, to the other region of the home screen page so that a graphic object 401 can not be output to the specific region 400.
[0051] Here, the control apparatus 180 can move a graphical object 401 by considering the size of the graphical object 401. For example, when the graphical object 401 has a larger size than the other graphic objects outputted on the home screen page, the controller 180 may move one graphical object 401 to a lower portion of the other region of the home screen page. For example, as shown in (b) of Fig. 4A, the controller 180 may move the graphical object 401 output on the specific region 400 to the lower portion of the other region of the screen page. Home. This may allow the user to see the background screen 350 output on the specific region 400 without visual interference with a graphic object. The controller 180 may also move the other graphics objects that are not output to the specific region 400, as well as the graphics object 401. More specifically, when the graphics object 401 is output to the specific region 401 is moved to a region of the display unit 151, other graphic objects outputted on one region may be moved to another region which is different from a region on the remaining region of the region. In this case, the other graphic objects can be moved within the other region, with the exception of the specific region 400, of the home screen page. That is, a plurality of graphic objects included on a home screen page can generally be rearranged while a graphic object taken out on a specific region is moved to the other region of the screen page. 'Home. This may make it possible to adjust a region with graphics objects output thereon and a region without a graphical object output thereon. Meanwhile, when there is no display space for graphic objects, which are output on the specific region 400, on the remaining region of the home screen page, the mobile terminal in one mode Embodiments described herein may change sizes of at least some of the plurality of graphic objects. Here, the controller 180 may also change the unit size of the virtual region of the home screen page to match the change in the size of the graphic object. Here, as the unit size of the virtual region changes, the number of graphical objects that can be outputted on the home screen page may also increase. More specifically, when the unit size of the virtual region decreases, the number of graphic objects that can be output on the home screen page may increase.
[0052] For example, as shown in (a) of Fig. 4B, the controller 180 can detect that there is no empty space, up to which graphical objects 402, 403, 404, and 405 out on the specific region must be moved, on the remaining region of the home screen page, except for the specific region 400. Here, the specific region 400 may be a region, on which a facial image is out, from the background screen 350 out on the home screen page. In this case, the controller 180 may change sizes of at least some of the plurality of graphic objects to generate a blank space. For example, as illustrated in (b) of Fig. 4B, the controller 180 may reduce sizes of all or at least some of the plurality of graphic objects. Here, by changing the sizes of the graphic objects, the controller 180 may generate a blank space within the remaining region of the home screen page so that the graphical object outputted to the region 15 specific 400 can be moved on the generated empty space. When the empty space is generated, as shown in (b) of FIG. 4B, the control apparatus 180 can arrange the graphic objects 402, 403, 404 and 405 output on the specific region 400 on the empty space . That is, according to the present invention, a region where any one of a plurality of graphic objects is not to be arranged can be set in the arrangement of the plurality of graphic objects included on the home screen page. . For this purpose, the sizes and positions of layout of the graphic objects may change. This can result in solving a problem that the background screen is obscured due to a complicated icon layout on the home screen page. The foregoing description has been provided of the method of controlling the display unit to not output graphic objects to the specific region of the home screen page. Hereinafter, a method of setting a specific region on which the graphic object is not arranged will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figs. 5A-5C are conceptual views illustrating a method of setting a specific region, on which a graphic object is not to be arranged, an output region of a home screen page.
[0053] The present invention may automatically adjust a specific region 400, on which a graphic object is not to be arranged, from the exit region of the home screen page, or this may be set by a user. In more detail, the present invention can set a region, which satisfies a preset condition, from the exit region of the home screen page to the specific region 400 on which a graphic object is not to be output. . Here, the preset condition may be a condition of detecting a region with a specific image outputted thereon through image recognition with respect to a background screen 350 outputted on the 10 home screen page. For example, as shown in (a) of Fig. 5A, the control apparatus 180 can detect, as a specific region 400, a facial region, on which a facial image is output, from the screen of background 350. Here, as shown in (b) of FIG. 5A, the control apparatus 180 can also output a guide image, which indicates that the facial region with the facial image outputted thereon is the specific region 400. Here, the controller 180 can change at least one of a size and a position of the specific region 400 in response to a touch applied to the guide image. For example, the controller 180 may increase or decrease the size of the specific region 400 in response to a pull input applied to a region edge of the guide image. As another example, the controller 180 may change the position of the specific region 400 in a direction corresponding to a direction of movement of a pull input, in response to the pull input applied to a region. central picture guide. After that, the controller 180 can detect at least one graphical object that has emerged overlapping at least a portion of the facial region with the facial image outputted therefrom. For example, as illustrated in (a) and (b) of Figure 5A, a graphic object 501 of the plurality of graphic objects included on the home screen page may be output on the specific region 400 of way to overlap the facial image.
[0054] Here, the control apparatus 180 can control the display unit 151 to output a graphic object 501, which is currently output to the specific region 400, to the other region, except the region. specific 400, from the home screen page. For example, as shown in (c) of Fig. 5A, the controller 180 may output a one graphic object 501 to the other region of the home screen page. This can allow the user to see the home screen page in the state in which the graphic objects included on the home screen page are arranged without obscuring the facial image output on the screen. Also, the present invention can set the specific region on which a graphic object should not be arranged according to a user selection. For example, as shown in (b) of Fig. 5B, the controller 180 can detect a region on which a touch with a preset area or more is applied to the home screen page. Touch with the preset area or greater may refer to a touch whose touch area, from a start time at which touch is detected to an end time at which touch is not detected, is greater than the area preset. Here, the controller 180 can set a region, on which touch with the preset area or more is applied, from the exit region of the home screen page to the specific region 400 without departing from graphic object on it. After that, as shown in (c) of Fig. 5B, the control apparatus 180 can output the guide image indicating the specific region 400. Also, as shown in (d) of Fig. 5B, The controller 180 may control the display unit 151 to output the graphic object 501, which is currently output to the set specific region 400, to the other region of the home screen page at the same time. Except for the specific region 400. Meanwhile, when the graphic object 501 output on the specific region 400 is moved to the other region except the specific region, the controller 180 may provide a user interface for the user to select a region or part, on which a graphic object 501 is to be output, from the other region. In more detail, as illustrated in (b) of FIG. 5C, the control apparatus 180 can output a plurality of images 501a, 501b, 501c and 501d, each indicating an expected output region, on which the a graphical object 501 must be output on the other region, on at least a part of the other region. Here, when a touch applied to a 501d among the plurality of images 501a, 501b, 501c and 501d is detected, the controller 180 may output a graphic object 501 to a region corresponding to the image at detected touch 501d. For example, as shown in (c) and (d) of Fig. 5C, the controller 180 may output a graphic object 501 to a region corresponding to a detected touch image 501d of the plurality Images 501a, 501b, 501c and 501d. The foregoing description has been provided of the method of setting the specific region, with no graphical object outputted therefrom, of the output region of the home screen page. This may provide the user with a screen on which an image output on the specific region of the background screen 350 output on the home screen page is not obscured. Hereinafter, a method of outputting a plurality of graphic objects in a grouped manner will be described in more detail. Figs. 6A-6D are conceptual views illustrating a method of outputting a plurality of graphic objects in a grouped manner.
[0055] The present invention can control the display unit 151 to not output a plurality of graphic objects, which are included on the home screen page, on a specific region of the output region of the display page. 'homepage. Here, when there is a graphical object output on the specific region, the controller 180 may control the display unit 151 to output the graphical object, which is currently outputted to the specific region, on the other region with the exception of the specific region. When it is determined that the other region does not have a blank space to output the graphical object outputted to the specific region, the controller 180 may group at least some of the plurality of graphic objects included in the 25 home screen page and take out the grouped graphic objects on a region of the home screen page. Here, the grouping may refer to the fact that the at least some graphic objects are displayed using a folder image, and the display unit 151 is controlled to output the at least some graphic objects when the folder image is selected. For example, as shown in (a), (b) and (c) of Fig. 6A, the controller 180 may indicate at least some of the graphic objects 601, 602, 603, and 604 using a display image. folder 610.
[0056] Here, the control apparatus 180 can detect the at least some of the plurality of graphical objects 601, 602, 603 and 604 according to a preset reference or a user selection. Here, the preset reference may be function similarities, usage frequencies, an identical or similar manufacturer or developer, or the like, with respect to applications indicated by the graphic objects. After detecting the at least some graphic objects 601, 602, 603 and 604, the control apparatus 180 can group the at least some graphic objects 601, 602, 603 and 604 and indicate the grouping by outputting a file image on the display unit 151. Here, as illustrated in (c) of FIG. 6A, the control apparatus 180 can output the file image and the other graphic objects, except for the at least some graphic objects 601, 602, 603 and 604 among the plurality of graphic objects, on the other region except for the specific region without the graphic object output thereon.
[0057] The controller 180 may also group the at least some of the graphic objects 601, 602, 603 and 604 among the plurality of graphic objects, in response to a preset touch applied to the home screen page. In more detail, after setting the specific region 400, when the other region except for the specific region 400 does not have a void space to move up to it the graphical object output on the specific region 400, the controller 180 may output screen information for the user to select at least some graphic objects to be grouped from the plurality of graphic objects. For example, as shown in (b) and (c) of Figure 6B, the controller 180 may output screen information to select at least some of the plurality of graphic objects. Here, according to the present invention, at least some graphic objects 601, 602, 603 and 604, which are included in a closed loop generated by a touch, out of the plurality of graphic objects can be detected. After that, the controller 180 may group the at least some graphical objects 601, 602, 603 and 604 and indicate the at least some of the grouped graphic objects 601, 602, 603 and 604 using a folder image 610. Therefore, the respective regions occupied by the at least some graphic objects 601, 602, 603 and 604 can be reduced to a region.
[0058] Thereafter, as shown in (d) of Fig. 6B, the controller 180 can rearrange the folder image including the at least some graphic objects and other graphic objects on the other region to the same. exception of the specific region 400.
[0059] Meanwhile, when the at least some graphic objects 601, 602, 603, and 604 are grouped in the folder image 610, the controller 180 can output the at least some graphic objects 601, 602, 603, and 604 to the computer. display unit 151 via a touch applied to the folder image 610. In this case, the controller 180 can output the graphic objects 10 grouped in the folder image 610 on a window 620 in response to a touch applied to the folder image 610. Also, even when the graphic objects grouped in the folder image 610 are output to the pop-up window 620, the control apparatus 180 can control the image. display unit 151 for outputting the pop-up window 620 to the other region except for the specific region 400. In more detail, the control apparatus 180 may change at least one of a position, a size and transparency of the window in inlay 620 so that the pop-up window 620 may not overlap the specific region. For example, as shown in (a) and (b) of Fig. 6C, the controller 180 may control an output position of the popup window 620, which includes the at least some graphic objects 601, 602, 603 and 604 grouped in the folder image 610, so that the pop-up window 620 can be output to the other region except for the specific region 400.
[0060] As another example, as illustrated in (a) and (c) of FIG. 6C, the control apparatus 180 may output the pop-up window 620 including the grouped graphic objects 601, 602, 603 and 604. in the folder image 610 so as to adjust the transparency of the pop-up window 620. In this case, the control apparatus 180 can control the display unit 151 to transparently output the pop-up window 620. in order to prevent the pop-up window 620 from obscuring the specific region 400. Therefore, the display unit may be controlled to output graphic objects so as to prevent the graphical objects from overlapping a specific region of a home screen page. In addition, a folder image can be used to provide an additional region for outputting graphic objects on the home screen page with the limited output region. Meanwhile, the present invention may be applied to any case of an overlapping pop-up window output, as well as the back-up image. For example, as illustrated in (a), (b) and (c) of FIG. 6D, when a pop-up window indicating video reproduction is output on at least a portion of the display unit 151, the controller 180 may control a size, position and transparency of the pop-up window and control the display unit 151 so as not to output the pop-up window 620 to the specific region 400. The foregoing description has The method of using the folder image has been provided when a blank space, except for the specific region, is not detected on the home screen page. Hereinafter, a description will be given of a method of outputting a graphical object, which is currently output so as to overlap the specific region, on the other region except for the specific region. Figs. 7A and 7B are conceptual views illustrating a method of outputting a graphic object, which is outputted to a specific region in an overlapping state, to the other region except for the specific region.
[0061] The present invention can control the display unit to not output graphical objects, which are included on the home screen page, on the specific region of the home screen page. Here, the controller 180 can control the display unit 151 to display at least one graphic object, which is output on the specific region, on the other region except for the specific region. When the at least one graphic object output on the specific region is moved to be output to the other region, the controller 180 may decide an output position of the at least one graphic object according to a line virtual reference preset.
[0062] In more detail, the controller 180 may include at least one reference line which divides an entire output region of the display unit 151 into at least two virtual regions. For example, as shown in (b) of Figure 7A, the controller 180 may include two reference lines that divide the entire output region of the display unit 151 into four virtual regions. After that, the controller 180 may move the at least one graphical object included on the specific region to a virtual region within a virtual region in which the graphical object 501 is included. For example, as shown in (a) and (b) of Figure 7A, the display unit 151 can be divided into four virtual regions based on two virtual reference lines. Here, for explanation, the four virtual regions can be called, starting from an upper left region in a clockwise, first quadrant, second quadrant, third quadrant, and fourth quadrant direction. The controller 180 may detect the quadrant at which the graphic object 501 output on the specific region 400 belongs. After that, the controller 180 may move the graphical object 501 output on the specific region 400 to the other region except for the specific region within the quadrant at which the graphic object 501 belongs. For example, as shown in (b) of Fig. 7A, when the graphic object 501 output on the specific region 400 belongs to the second quadrant, the controller 180 can control the display unit 151 to exit. The graphic object 501 on the other region except for the specific region within the second quadrant. When the virtual region does not have empty space therein to move the graphical object 501 output to the specific region, the controller 180 may move the graphical object 501 to another virtual region. 25 on which the graphic object is not output, according to a preset hierarchy. Here, the preset hierarchy can be one of clockwise or counterclockwise. For example, when the preset hierarchy is clockwise, the controller 180 can detect a blank space to output the graphic object 501 in the clockwise hierarchy, depending on the clockwise direction. of a quadrant to which the graphic object 501 belongs. For example, as shown in (a) of Fig. 7B, the graphic object 501 output on the specific region 400 may belong to the second quadrant. Also, the controller 189 may detect that the second quadrant does not have a void space up to which the graphical object outputted on the specific region is to be moved for output. After that, the controller 180 can detect whether or not the third quadrant, clockwise depending on the second quadrant, has an empty space to output the graphic object 501 output on the second quadrant. specific region 400. When the third quadrant has the space to output the currently outputted graphic object 501 to the specific region 400, the controller 180 may control the display unit 151 to output the graphic object 501. , which is currently out on the specific region 400, on the third quadrant. Namely, according to the present invention, even when a graphical object output on a specific region is moved to the other region, except for the specific region, the graphical object can be moved according to a preset reference . The foregoing description has been provided of the method of moving the graphical object output on the specific region to the other region of the home screen page except for the specific region. Hereinafter, a description will be provided of a method of visually discriminating a graphic object located on a specific region from other graphic objects when the specific region is set. Fig. 8 is a conceptual view illustrating a method of visually distinguishing a graphical object output on a specific region from other graphical objects, when the specific region is set. According to the present invention, when a specific region on which a graphical object is not to be outputted on a home screen page is set, a graphical object outputted on the specific region can be detected from a plurality of of graphic objects belonging to the home screen page. When the graphical object outputted to the specific region is detected, the controller 180 may display the output graphical object on the specific region to be visually distinctive from other graphical objects. For this purpose, the controller 180 may change at least one of a size, color, and transparency of the graphical object outputted to the specific region, or provide an animation effect (e.g., a blinking effect). to the graphic object.
[0063] For example, as shown in Figure 8, the controller 180 may output the graphical object output to the specific region by changing the size and transparency of the graphical object. Therefore, the user can recognize information about a graphic object whose output position must change. The foregoing description has been provided of the output method of the graphical object output on the specific region of the visually distinctive manner. Hereinafter, a description will be given of a method of arranging a plurality of graphic objects belonging to a home screen page when a posture of a main body of a mobile terminal changes. . Figs. 9A-9D are conceptual views illustrating a method of arranging a plurality of graphic objects included on a home screen page when a posture of a main body of a mobile terminal changes. The mobile terminal according to an illustrative embodiment of the present invention may define a posture of a main body 100 thereof aligned with a reference line as a first posture, and a posture of the main body 100 rotated. 90 ° to the reference line as a second posture depending on the reference line formed along the direction of gravity. The first posture can also be called vertical direction and the second posture, horizontal posture. The mobile terminal according to an illustrative embodiment of the present invention may further include a posture detection unit which is configured to detect a posture of the main body 100. Here, the posture detection unit can detect the posture. of the main body 100 using a gravity sensor, an acceleration sensor and the like. The controller 180 may output the home screen page on the display unit 151 when the main body 100 is placed at the first posture. After that, the controller 180 can detect the change in posture of the main body 100 to the second posture.
[0064] Here, when the change of the main body posture 100 is detected, the control apparatus 180 can arrange a background screen 350 and graphical objects 901, 902 and 903 which belong to the screen page. welcome so that they are appropriate for the changed posture.
[0065] In more detail, when the posture of the main body 100 is changed from the first posture to the second posture, the control apparatus 180 can move output positions of the graphical objects 901, 902 and 903 output on the display page. home screen, while maintaining an exit direction of the background screen 350. Here, the controller 180 can output the plurality of graphic objects 901, 902 and 903 to the other region, except for a specific region 400, from the exit region of the home screen page. Here, the specific region 400 may change depending on the first posture 10 and the second posture. More specifically, the specific region 400 may be defined according to a condition related to an image output on the specific region 400. Here, the image output on the specific region 400 may be output to a different position in response to the change of The main body posture 100. In this case, the specific region 400 may change as the output position of the output image on the specific region 400 changes. For example, as shown in (a) of Fig. 9A, at the first posture of the main body 100, the specific region 400 can be set via facial recognition with respect to the screen of Also, the controller 180 can adjust a region with a facial image outputted thereon to the specific region 400. Here, as shown in (b) of FIG. 9A, the posture of the main body 100 can be changed from the first posture to the second posture. In this case, at the second posture of the main body 100, the controller 180 may again detect a region where the facial image is output and re-set the detected region to the specific region 400. After that, the second posture of the main body 100, the control apparatus 180 can output the plurality of graphic objects 901, 902 and 903 to the other region, except for the specific region of the screen page of Home. Meanwhile, at the second main body posture 100, a horizontally wide screen 30 may be provided to allow the use of the two side spaces of the display unit 151. Also, in view of the horizontally wide screen, the plurality of graphic objects 901, 902 and 903 can be arranged in series on a lower region of the screen. Thus, in the present invention, the plurality of graphical objects 901, 902 and 903 can be arranged in series on the two side spaces or the lower region of the display unit 151. In more detail, like this is illustrated in (b) of FIG. 9A, the control apparatus 180 can arrange the plurality of graphic objects 901, 902, and 903 in series on the lower portion of the display unit 151. As a Another example, as illustrated in (a) and (b) of FIG. 9B, the control apparatus 180 can arrange the graphic objects 901, 902 and 903 on at least a portion of a left or right region of the 151. The graphic objects can always be visible at the second posture.
[0066] However, when the main body 100 is placed at the second posture, the controller 180 may decide whether or not to output the graphic objects according to a preset condition. Namely, according to the present invention, at the second posture of the main body 100, icons can be output only in a specific condition for efficient use of the vertically narrow display unit 151.
[0067] Here, the preset condition may correspond to whether or not an object is present adjacent to the display unit 151. Namely, the present invention provides a method of efficient use of the display unit. 151 by outputting a plurality of graphic objects when a user intends to touch the display unit 151.
[0068] For example, as shown in (a) of Fig. 9C, when the main body 100 is placed at the second posture, the controller 180 can exit only the background screen 350 without exiting the plurality of graphic objects belonging to the home screen page. Here, as shown in (b) of FIG. 9C, the control apparatus 180 can detect that a finger is present adjacent to the display unit 151. In this case, the The command 180 may output the plurality of graphic objects belonging to the home screen page on the display unit 151. Here, the plurality of graphic objects may be output so that their transparencies are adjusted. according to a relative distance between the object and the display unit 151. For example, as shown in (b) of Fig. 9C, when the relative distance between the user's finger and the unit of 151 display is shorter, the plurality of graphic objects can be output more clearly.
[0069] Meanwhile, at the second posture of the main body 100, the controller 180 is unlikely to be able to output all of the plurality of graphic objects, which belong to the home screen page, on the unit. in the case of the output of the plurality of graphical objects in series on the lower region. In this case, the control apparatus 180 can output at least only some of the plurality of graphic objects to the display unit 151. Here, the control apparatus 180 can output the other graphic objects, which were not output on the display unit 151, again on the display unit 151.
[0070] For example, as shown in (a) of Fig. 9D, when a preset touch is applied to a lower region 900, on which the plurality of graphic objects are serially outputted, the controller 180 can take out the other graphic objects, which have not yet been released, near (910) of the lower region 900.
[0071] Here, the controller 180 may move a graphic object 904 from the other graphic objects in the lower region 900 in response to a pull input applied to the graphic object 904. When the graphic object 904 is moved into the region lower 900, as shown in (b) of Figure 9D, the graphic object 904 can be output on the lower region 900.
[0072] Although not illustrated, the plurality of graphic objects may be moved along a pull input that is applied to the lower region 900 in a left or right direction. Here, the controller 180 can move the currently output graphical object along the direction of the pull input, so that at least some of the currently output graphical objects can disappear from the display unit. 151 and graphic objects, without being out, can be newly released according to the distance of displacement. The foregoing description has been provided of the method of arranging the graphic objects according to the characteristic of the display unit 151 in response to the change in the posture of the main body. The present invention has illustrated the arrangement of graphic objects, which is changed according to the posture of the present invention, but can also be applied to an electronic device having a display unit which has a limited output region. For example, for a portable device having a portable display unit on a wrist, the present invention may also be applied to the display unit of the portable device that has the limited output region. Hereinafter, a description will be provided of a method of using a specific region without a graphical object output therefrom in more detail. Figures 10A, 10B, 11A and 11B are conceptual views illustrating a method of associating a function relevant to a specific region with the specific region. When a home screen page includes a specific region on which a graphic object is not output, at least one function may be associated with the specific region. Here, the function associated with the specific region may be a function relevant to an output image on the specific region. In more detail, when a facial image of a particular person is output on the specific region, the function associated with the specific region may be a call function of the person, a function of sending a message to the person, a function of sharing information with the person and the like. For example, as illustrated in (a) of Fig. 10A, a facial image of a particular person outputted to a background screen 360 of a home screen page may be recognized. Here, the control apparatus 180 can set a region on which the facial image of the particular person is output to a specific region 1000. Also, when at least one function is associated with the specific region 1000, the apparatus 180 may output at least one graphical object 1010 indicating the at least one function in the vicinity of the specific region 1000, in response to a preset touch applied to the specific region 1000. For example, as illustrated in b) of Figure 10A, when a long touch is applied to the specific region 1000, the controller 180 may output the graphical object 1010 indicating a calling function of the particular person in the vicinity of the specific region 1000. Although not illustrated, when two or more functions are associated with the specific region 1000, the controller 180 may output graphical objects indicative of the at least two functions, respectively, in the vicinity of the specific region 1000.
[0073] Here, when a touch is applied to the graphical object 1010 indicating a function associated with the specific region 1000, the controller 180 may perform the function. For example, as shown in (b) and (c) of Fig. 10A, when a touch applied to the graphic object 1010 indicating a calling function of the particular person is detected, then the apparatus of command 180 can perform the numbering for the particular person. Meanwhile, when a preset touch applied to the specific region 1000 is detected, a screen for setting a function to be associated with the specific region 1000 may be outputted. The preset touch can be set by a user 10 or preset. For example, as shown in (a) of Fig. 10B, the controller 180 can detect a double touch applied to the specific region 1000 within a preset period. Here, as shown in (b) of Fig. 10B, the controller 180 may output a setting screen to set a function to be associated with the specific region 1000 on the display unit 151. L The controller 180 may allow the user to enter the function to be associated with the specific region 1000 via the setting screen. Also, a function for reproducing information labeled on the background screen can be associated with the specific region. Here, the tagged information is information that is stored associated with an image, and may be image-related information, such as a location, a time, a recorded voice, a written note, and the like at the time of writing. the capture of the image.
[0074] Also, the controller 180 may output a graphic object relevant to the information tagged on the background screen. Here, the graphic object can be taken out on the background screen or always out on a region of the background screen, in response to a preset touch. Here, a graphic object 1210 relating to the tagged information may indicate a type of the tagged information, and be associated with an output function of the tagged information. For example, as shown in (a) and (b) of Fig. 11A, when a preset touch applied to the specific region 400 is detected, the control apparatus 180 can control the related graph object 1210. labeled information to be output. When a preset touch is applied to the specific region 400, the controller 180 can immediately output the tagged information.
[0075] Here, when the tagged information is a voice, the voice can be output via a microphone. When the tagged information is a note, the note may be output on the display unit 151. For example, as shown in (b) and (c) of Fig. 11B, when the tagged information is a voice, the controller 180 may output the voice, in response to a split pinch touch applied to the specific region. Further, as shown in (d) of Fig. 11B, the controller 180 can stop voice output in response to a close-in pinch applied to the specific region while the voice is output. .
[0076] Similar to associating a function with the specific region, the controller 180 may also associate information with the specific region and store associated information. As a result, various functions can be performed on the home screen page. Also, a region without a graphical object outputted thereon on a home screen page 20 may be used in more varied ways. The foregoing description has been provided of the method of using the specific region on which any graphic object is not output. Hereinafter, a description will be provided of a method of using history information regarding a home screen page.

[0077] Here, the history information can be related information to the background screen of the home screen page, information indicating a layout of the graphic objects on the background screen, information indicating a function associated with the background screen, and the like. Here, the information indicating the arrangement of graphic objects on the background screen can refer to information about a specific region of the background screen on which any graphic object is not. got out. Also, the information indicating the arrangement of graphic objects on the background screen can refer to an output position of each of the graphic objects.
[0078] Here, the controller 180 can output the history information to the display unit 151 when a preset touch is applied to the background screen. For example, as shown in (b) of Fig. 12A, the controller 180 may output the history information, in response to a touch drawing a pattern equal to a preset pattern detected on the screen page Home. The preset pattern can be preset by a user. Also, the preset touch can be various. The controller 180 may set a background screen, which has previously been set to a home screen page, and related layout information to icons on the background screen. again on the home screen page 20. Namely, the controller 180 can read (or open) both the background screen and the layout of the graphics object information on the background screen through the historical information. For example, as shown in (c) and (d) of Fig. 12A, when a block of history information is selected, the controller 180 can change a current home screen page. to a home screen page indicated by the selected history information. Namely, the home screen page currently outputted on the display unit 151 can be changed to a background screen, and the layout of the graphic objects taken out on the background screen , which are indicated by the selected history information. Therefore, a background screen that has previously been set to a home screen page and layout information on icons that have been output on the background screen may be provided through history information. Meanwhile, the controller 180 can provide the history information in a variety of ways. For example, as shown in (b) of FIG. 12A, the history information can be output on the display unit 151 according to the storage hierarchy in the memory 170. As another example, as shown in Fig. 12B, the history information can be output to the display unit 151 according to the time hierarchy of the information has been tagged to an image which has been set as a display screen. background. This can provide a user with images that have previously been stored as a background screen, according to the time-based hierarchy. Hereinafter, a description will be given of a method of recommending a background screen with a specific region set thereon. Fig. 13 is a conceptual view illustrating a method of recommending a background screen with a specific region set thereon. The present invention can set a specific region, on which any graphic object should not be output, from an exit region of a home screen page. Meanwhile, a background screen 350 of the home screen page may change to another image. In more detail, the user may set one of a plurality of images stored in memory 170 on a background screen of the home screen page. In this case, the controller 180 can detect at least one of the plurality of images stored in the memory 170 without changing as much as possible an arrangement state of currently output graphic objects. More specifically, as illustrated in (b) of Fig. 13, the control apparatus 180 can detect an input of drawing a pattern of a pattern equal to a preset pattern, which is applied to a specific region.
[0079] The controller 180 can detect a size and position of the specific region in response to the drawing input of the design of the pattern equal to the preset pattern. After that, the controller 180 can detect at least one image, 3025328 in which a facial image is output to a region having a size and position similar to the specific region. For example, as shown in (c) of Fig. 13, the controller 180 can output at least one image 370, 380, in which a facial image is output over a region similar to the specific region, on In the meantime, a plurality of home screen pages may be set, and each home screen page may have the same background screen or a back screen. different plan. That is, the controller 180 may control each of the plurality of home screen pages to include the at least one image 370, 380, or control all of the plurality of screen pages. to be changed to one of the at least one image 370, 380. Here, when the at least one image 370, 380 is selected, the controller 180 may change the background screen to the desired image. At least one selected image 370, 380. In this case, any graphic object can be prevented from being output on the specific region that has been set so as not to leave a graphic object on it, with the least of changing a previous layout state of graphic objects. Therefore, the specific region on which any graphic object should not be output can be maintained on the home screen page. By maintaining the specific region without a graphical object, a function associated with the specific region can be provided to a user as it is, although a background screen changes. The foregoing description has been provided of the method of changing the background screen with the least change in the layout state of the plurality of graphic objects on the home screen page.
