As shown in these figures, the controller 180 of the electronic device 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention can operate in different operation modes based on the intentions of the user.
As shown in
The controller 180 may acquire user manipulation applied to the housing 101 through the sensing unit 140. For example, the controller may recognize whether the user wants to input any character, symbol, and/or image when the user performs a handwriting operation while gripping the housing 101.
The sensing unit 140 may be a combination of at least one of the sensors including the optical sensor 148, the gyro sensor 143, the acceleration sensor 144 and the angular acceleration sensor 145. For example, the sensing unit 140 may track a trajectory of the tip 102 when the user writes while gripping the housing 101.
The controller 180 may perform step S20 of selecting an operation mode according to the user's operation. The operation mode may include a first mode S30 and a second mode S40.
The first mode may be a mode in which content corresponding to a trajectory according to a motion of an end of the housing 101 is stored in the memory 170. That is, the first mode may be a case in which the user who grips the electronic device 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention performs a recording operation. In the first mode, the controller 180 may acquire handwriting input by the user using the sensing unit 140. The acquired handwriting may be stored in a text format in the memory 170. The acquired handwriting may be stored in an image format in the memory 170. Storage in the text format may be more advantageous than storage in the image format in terms of storage capacity.
The second mode may be a mode that performs a function corresponding to the trajectory of the end of the housing 101. For example, the controller 180 may recognize characters and the like corresponding to user manipulation applied to the electronic device 100 as an instruction for controlling operation of the electronic device 100 in the second mode. In the second mode, the controller 180 may not regard characters or the like corresponding to the user's operation as content to be stored in the memory 170. Thus, the user of the electronic device 100 may not operate the electronic device 100 itself to perform various operations using the electronic device 100. For example, the user may activate or deactivate a necessary function without operating a button or the like provided in the electronic device 100.
In the first mode, the controller 180 may perform step S31 of acquiring a trajectory of the housing 101. More specifically, the trajectory of the housing 101 may refer to a trajectory of the tip 102 located at one end of the housing 101.
The controller 180 may perform step S33 of generating content corresponding to the trajectory. For example, the controller 180 may recognize content such as characters, numerals, a picture and the like input by the user using the electronic device 100.
The controller 180 may extract characters through an image processing procedure when user input is acquired through the optical sensor 148. The extracted characters can be converted into text.
The controller 180 may perform step S35 of storing the generated content. The content can be stored in the memory 170 of the electronic device 100. When the content is text, storage space can be saved.
The controller 180 may perform step S37 of transmitting the stored content to another device. The electronic device 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention may execute communication functions such as call transmission and reception and message transmission and reception. The controller 180 may transmit content stored in the memory 170 to another device of the user. For example, the controller 180 may transmit the content to a device having a larger display. Accordingly, the user may view the content more conveniently.
In the second mode, the controller 180 may perform a step S41 of activating a specific function according to an inputted characters and/or symbols.
The user may input a specific character and/or symbol into the electronic device 100 griped by the user. The specific characters or the like may be commands that activate and/or deactivate specific functions. For example, if the user grasps the electronic device 100 and inputs a symbol [, the controller may enter the second mode. If the user inputs the symbol [, and then inputs call and then inputs the symbol], it may be seen that the user wants to use a specific function that performs call function.
The controller 180 may perform step S43 of executing the activated specific function. For example, when the character or the like for executing the call function is input as described above, the controller 180 may execute a function of calling using a telephone number or the like input after [call].
As shown, operation modes may include a first operation mode and a second operation mode. Motion tracking may be performed in the first operation mode and functions may be executed in the second operation mode.
In the first operation mode, the controller 180 may store a motion tracking result as content.
In the second operation mode, the controller 180 may execute a specific function corresponding to user input. That is, the controller 180 does not store user input as content.
As shown, the electronic device 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention may operate in different operation modes according to a user's input.
As shown in
The grip portion GP may be a lower area of the housing 101. The grip portion GP may be coated with rubber or the like or may be processed to correspond to shape of the finger F. Therefore, the finger F that is in contact with the grip portion GP may not slip.
The user may use the electronic device 100 by griping the electronic device 100 in contact with the object 300. The object 300 may be paper or the like. Ink may be stained to the object 300 through the tip 102 that is in contact with the object 300 when the electronic device is used for an object 300 of paper material. Accordingly, the user may visually confirm the characters or the like, which is a trajectory of moving the electronic device 100 by griping the electronic device 100.
If the user writes characters or the like on the object 300, the written content may be sensed through the sensor unit 140. For example, it may be visually sensed through the optical sensor 148 or sensed as a spatial movement through the gyro sensor 143 or the like.
As shown in
Some of the user's inputs may be a control command OC. That is, some of the user's inputs may not be a description of a matter requiring memo but may be a command inputted by a user to control the operation of the electronic device 100.
The control command OC may be a combination of at least one of predetermined characters and symbols. For example, the characters called call may be predetermined to the control command OC.
As shown in
In the case of the group A, specific characters are set as control command OC. For example, if characters called call are input, call function may be performed, and if characters called message are input, message transmission/reception function may be performed. When the specific characters are set to the control command OC, the user may control the electronic device 100 more intuitively.
In the case of the group B, a combination of specific characters and symbols is set to the control command OC. For example, when characters called call are written between the quotation marks, it means that it may be a control command OC corresponding to the call function. In such a case, the possibility of confusion with the input of ordinary content may be reduced.
In the case of the group C, a combination of specific characters and information related to the specific characters is set as a control command OC. For example, it means that it may function as a control command OC when telephone number information or counterpart information is inputted after characters called call is inputted.
In the case of the group D, a specific symbol is set as a control command OC. For example, it means that it may function as a control command OC of call rejection when the X is input.
The controller 180 may perform a specific function including a call function, a message transmission/reception function, a contact display function, an alarm function, a playback function, a recording function, and an e-mail transmission/reception function based on the input specific characters and/or symbols.
As shown in
As shown in
The controller 180 may further perform other functions related to the activated function. For example, the controller may activate the display 150. The display 150 may be provided on the housing 101 of the electronic device 100. The display 150 may display information related to the function currently being performed.
As shown in
When the second content WC2 is input, the controller 180 may store the inputted second content WC2 in the memory 170.
The controller 180 may determine whether to hold the specific function activated by the previously input control command OC in response to the input of the second content WC2. For example, the call function may be maintained regardless of whether the second content WC2 is input or not. In this case, the user may input a necessary memo while maintaining the communication with the other party.
As shown in
As shown in
As shown, the electronic device 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention may switch operation modes in response to a specific posture and/or gesture taken by the user.
As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
When the user switches the posture to be equal to or less than the critical time CP from the time t3 to the time t4 while the controller is operating in the second operation mode, the controller 180 may not switch the operation mode regardless of switch of the posture. That is, it means that the operation mode may be prevented from being changed even if careless operation is input for a while.
As shown, the electronic device 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention may control an operation of a tip 102 according to an operation mode.
As shown in
In the case of inputting the content WC, the controller 180 may cause ink to be ejected from the tip 102. Accordingly, the user may visually confirm the content WC described on the object 300 of the paper material.
