As one example, the touch-sensitive input may be a virtual key or a soft key, which is displayed on a touch screen through software processing, or a touch key which is located on the mobile terminal at a location that is other than the touch screen. On the other hand, the virtual key or the visual key may be displayed on the touch screen in various shapes, for example, graphic, text, icon, video, or a combination thereof.
The sensing unit 140 is generally configured to sense one or more of internal information of the mobile terminal, surrounding environment information of the mobile terminal, user information, or the like. The controller 180 generally cooperates with the sending unit 140 to control operation of the mobile terminal 100 or execute data processing, a function or an operation associated with an application program installed in the mobile terminal based on the sensing provided by the sensing unit 140. The sensing unit 140 may be implemented using any of a variety of sensors, some of which will now be described 1 more detail.
The proximity sensor 141 may include a sensor to sense presence or absence of an object approaching a surface, or an object located near a surface, by using an electromagnetic field, infrared rays, or the like without a mechanical contact. The proximity sensor 141 may be arranged at an inner region of the mobile terminal covered by the touch screen, or near the touch screen.
The proximity sensor 141, for example, may include any of a transmissive type photoelectric sensor, a direct reflective type photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflective type photoelectric sensor, a high-frequency oscillation proximity sensor, a capacitance type proximity sensor, a magnetic type proximity sensor, an infrared rays proximity sensor, and the like. When the touch screen is implemented as a capacitance type, the proximity sensor 141 may sense proximity of a pointer relative to the touch screen by changes of an electromagnetic field, which is responsive to an approach of an object with conductivity. In this case, the touch screen (touch sensor) may also be categorized as a proximity sensor.
The term “proximity touch” will often be referred to herein to denote the scenario in which a pointer is positioned to be proximate to the touch screen without contacting the touch screen. The term “contact touch” will often be referred to herein to denote the scenario in which a pointer makes physical contact with the touch screen. For the position corresponding to the proximity touch of the pointer relative to the touch screen, such position will correspond to a position where the pointer is perpendicular to the touch screen. The proximity sensor 141 may sense proximity touch, and proximity touch patterns (for example, distance, direction, speed, time, position, moving status, and the like).
In general, controller 180 processes data corresponding to proximity touches and proximity touch patterns sensed by the proximity sensor 141, and cause output of visual information on the touch screen. In addition, the controller 180 may control the mobile terminal 100 to execute different operations or process different data according to whether a touch with respect to a point on the touch screen is either a proximity touch or a contact touch.
A touch sensor may sense a touch applied to the touch screen, such as 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.
As one example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert changes of pressure applied to a specific part of the display unit 151, or convert capacitance occurring at a specific part of the display unit 151, into electric input signals. The touch sensor may also be configured to sense not only a touched position and a touched area, but also touch pressure and/or touch capacitance. A touch object is generally used to apply a touch input to the touch sensor. Examples of typical touch objects include a finger, a touch pen, a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like.
When a touch input is sensed by a touch sensor, corresponding signals may be transmitted to a touch controller. The touch controller may process the received signals, and then transmit corresponding data to the controller 180. Accordingly, the controller 180 may sense which region of the display unit 151 has been touched. Here, the touch controller may be a component separate from the controller 180, the controller 180, and combinations thereof.
In some embodiments, the controller 180 may execute the same or different controls according to a type of touch object that touches the touch screen or a touch key provided in addition to the touch screen. Whether to execute the same or different control according to the object which provides a touch input may be decided based on a current operating state of the mobile terminal 100 or a currently executed application program, for example.
The touch sensor and the proximity sensor may be implemented individually, or in combination, to sense various types of touches. Such touches includes a short (or tap) touch, a long touch, a multi-touch, a drag touch, a flick touch, a pinch-in touch, a pinch-out touch, a swipe touch, a hovering touch, and the like.

Implementing the camera 121 with a laser sensor may allow detection of a touch of a physical object with respect to a 3D stereoscopic image. The photo sensor may be laminated on, or overlapped with, the display device. The photo sensor may be configured to scan movement of the physical object in proximity to the touch screen. In more detail, the photo sensor may include photo diodes and transistors at rows and columns to scan content received at the photo sensor using an electrical signal which changes according to the quantity of applied light. Namely, the photo sensor may calculate the coordinates of the physical object according to variation of light to thus obtain position information of the physical object.
The display unit 151 is generally configured to output information processed in the mobile terminal 100. For example, the display unit 151 may display execution screen information of an application program executing at the mobile terminal 100 or user interface (UI) and graphic user interface (GUI) information in response to the execution screen information.
In some embodiments, the display unit 151 may be implemented as a stereoscopic display unit for displaying stereoscopic images. A typical stereoscopic display unit may employ a stereoscopic display scheme such as a stereoscopic scheme (a glass scheme), an auto-stereoscopic scheme (glassless scheme), a projection scheme (holographic scheme), or the like.
The audio output module 152 is generally configured to output audio data. Such audio data may be obtained from any of a number of different sources, such that the audio data 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 reception mode, a call mode, a record mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, and the like. The audio output module 152 may provide audible output related to a particular function (e.g., a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.) performed by the mobile terminal 100. The audio output module 152 may also be implemented as a receiver, a speaker, a buzzer, or the like.
A haptic module 153 may be configured to generate various tactile effects that a user feels, perceive, or otherwise experience. A typical example of a tactile effect generated by the haptic module 153 is vibration. The strength, pattern and the like of the vibration generated by the haptic module 153 may be controlled by user selection or setting by the controller. For example, the haptic module 153 may output different vibrations in a combining manner or a sequential manner.
Besides vibration, the haptic module 153 may generate various other tactile effects, including an effect by stimulation such as a pin arrangement vertically moving to contact skin, a spray force or suction force of air through a jet orifice or a suction opening, a touch to the skin, a contact of an electrode, electrostatic force, an effect by reproducing the sense of cold and warmth using an element that may absorb or generate heat, and the like.
The haptic module 153 may also be implemented to allow the user to feel a tactile effect through a muscle sensation such as the user's fingers or arm, as well as transferring the tactile effect through direct contact. Two or more haptic modules 153 may be provided according to the particular configuration of the mobile terminal 100.
An optical output module 154 may output a signal for indicating an event generation using light of a light source. Examples of events generated in the mobile terminal 100 may include message reception, call signal reception, a missed call, an alarm, a schedule notice, an email reception, information reception through an application, and the like.
A signal output by the optical output module 154 may be implemented in such a manner that the mobile terminal emits monochromatic light or light with a plurality of colors. The signal output may be terminated as the mobile terminal senses that a user has checked the generated event, for example.
The interface unit 160 serves as an interface for external devices to be connected with the mobile terminal 100.

Accordingly, the identifying device may be connected with the terminal 100 via the interface unit 160.
When the mobile terminal 100 is connected with an external cradle, the interface unit 160 may serve as a passage to allow power from the cradle to be supplied to the mobile terminal 100 or may serve as a passage to allow various command signals input by the user from the cradle to be transferred to the mobile terminal there through. Various command signals or power input from the cradle may operate as signals for recognizing that the mobile terminal is properly mounted on the cradle.

The controller 180 may also perform the controlling and processing associated with voice calls, data communications, video calls, and the like, or perform pattern recognition processing to recognize a handwriting input or a picture drawing input performed on the touch screen as characters or images, respectively. In addition, the controller 180 may control one or a combination of those components in order to implement various exemplary embodiments disclosed herein.

As another example, the power supply unit 190 may be configured to recharge the battery in a wireless manner without use of the connection port. In this example, the power supply unit 190 may receive power, transferred from an external wireless power transmitter, using at least one of an inductive coupling method which is based on magnetic induction or a magnetic resonance coupling method which is based on electromagnetic resonance.
A communication system which is operable with the variously described mobile terminals will now be described in more detail. Such a communication system may be configured to utilize any of a variety of different air interfaces and/or physical layers. Examples of such air interfaces utilized by the communication system include Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) (including, Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-A (Long Term Evolution-Advanced)), Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), and the like.
By way of a non-limiting example only, further description will relate to a CDMA communication system, but such teachings apply equally to other system types including a CDMA wireless communication system as well as OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) wireless communication system. A CDMA wireless 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 (BSCs), and a mobile switching center (MSC). The MSC is configured to interface with a conventional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and the BSCs. The BSCs are coupled to the base stations via backhaul lines. The backhaul lines may be configured in accordance with any of several known interfaces including, for example, E1/T1, ATM, IP, PPP, Frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL, or xDSL. Hence, the plurality of BSCs may be included in the CDMA wireless communication system.
Each base station may include one or more sectors, each sector having an omni-directional antenna or an antenna pointed in a particular direction radially away from 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, with each frequency assignment having a particular spectrum (e.g., 1.25 MHz, 5 MHz, etc.).
The intersection of sector and frequency assignment may be referred to as a CDMA channel. The base stations may also be referred to as Base Station Transceiver Subsystems (BTSs). In some cases, the term “base station” may be used to refer collectively to a BSC, and one or more base stations. The base stations may also be denoted as “cell sites.” Alternatively, individual sectors of a given base station may be referred to as cell sites.
A broadcasting transmitter (BT) transmits a broadcast signal to the mobile terminals 100 operating within the system. The broadcast receiving module 111 of
Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites for locating the position of the mobile terminal 100, for example, may cooperate with the CDMA wireless communication system. Useful position information may be obtained with greater or fewer satellites than two satellites. It is to be appreciated that other types of position detection technology, (i.e., location technology that may be used in addition to or instead of GPS location 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.
The location information module 115 is generally configured to detect, calculate, or otherwise identify a position of the mobile terminal. As an example, the location information module 115 may include a Global Position System (GPS) module, a Wi-Fi module, or both. If desired, the location information module 115 may alternatively or additionally function with any of the other modules of the wireless communication unit 110 to obtain data related to the position of the mobile terminal.
A typical GPS module 115 may measure an accurate time and distance from three or more satellites, and accurately calculate a current location of the mobile terminal according to trigonometry based on the measured time and distances. A method of acquiring distance and time information from three satellites and performing error correction with a single satellite may be used. In particular, the GPS module may acquire an accurate time together with three-dimensional speed information as well as the location of the latitude, longitude and altitude values from the location information received from the satellites. Furthermore, the GPS module may acquire speed information in real time to calculate a current position. Sometimes, accuracy of a measured position may be compromised when the mobile terminal is located in a blind spot of satellite signals, such as being located in an indoor space. In order to minimize the effect of such blind spots, an alternative or supplemental location technique, such as Wi-Fi Positioning System (WPS), may be utilized.
The Wi-Fi positioning system (WPS) refers to a location determination technology based on a wireless local area network (WLAN) using Wi-Fi as a technology for tracking the location of the mobile terminal 100. This technology typically includes the use of a Wi-Fi module in the mobile terminal 100 and a wireless access point for communicating with the Wi-Fi module.
The Wi-Fi positioning system may include a Wi-Fi location determination server, a mobile terminal, a wireless access point (AP) connected to the mobile terminal, and a database stored with wireless AP information.
The mobile terminal connected to the wireless AP may transmit a location information request message to the Wi-Fi location determination server. The Wi-Fi location determination server extracts the information of the wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100, based on the location information request message (or signal) of the mobile terminal 100. The information of the wireless AP may be transmitted to the Wi-Fi location determination server through the mobile terminal 100, or may be transmitted to the Wi-Fi location determination server from the wireless AP.
The information of the wireless AP extracted based on the location information request message of the mobile terminal 100 may include one or more of media access control (MAC) address, service set identification (SSID), received signal strength indicator (RSSI), reference signal received Power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), channel information, privacy, network type, signal strength, noise strength, and the like.
The Wi-Fi location determination server may receive the information of the wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100 as described above, and may extract wireless AP information corresponding to the wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal from the pre-established database. The information of any wireless APs stored in the database may be information such as MAC address, SSID, RSSI, channel information, privacy, network type, latitude and longitude coordinate, building at which the wireless AP is located, floor number, detailed indoor location information (GPS coordinate available), AP owner's address, phone number, and the like. In order to remove wireless APs provided using a mobile AP or an illegal MAC address during a location determining process, the Wi-Fi location determination server may extract only a predetermined number of wireless AP information in order of high RSSI.
Then, the Wi-Fi location determination server may extract (analyze) location information of the mobile terminal 100 using at least one wireless AP information extracted from the database.
A method for extracting (analyzing) location information of the mobile terminal 100 may include a Cell-ID method, a fingerprint method, a trigonometry method, a landmark method, and the like.
The Cell-ID method is used to determine a position of a wireless AP having the largest signal strength, among peripheral wireless AP information collected by a mobile terminal, as a position of the mobile terminal. The Cell-ID method is an implementation that is minimally complex, does not require additional costs, and location information may be rapidly acquired. However, in the Cell-ID method, the precision of positioning may fall below a desired threshold when the installation density of wireless APs is low.
The fingerprint method is used to collect signal strength information by selecting a reference position from a service area, and to track a position of a mobile terminal using the signal strength information transmitted from the mobile terminal based on the collected information. In order to use the fingerprint method, it is common for the characteristics of radio signals to be pre-stored in the form of a database.
The trigonometry method is used to calculate a position of a mobile terminal based on a distance between coordinates of at least three wireless APs and the mobile terminal. In order to measure the distance between the mobile terminal and the wireless APs, signal strength may be converted into distance information, Time of Arrival (ToA), Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA), Angle of Arrival (AoA), or the like may be taken for transmitted wireless signals.
The landmark method is used to measure a position of a mobile terminal using a known landmark transmitter.
In addition to these position location methods, various algorithms may be used to extract (analyze) location information of a mobile terminal. Such extracted location information may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 100 through the Wi-Fi location determination server, thereby acquiring location information of the mobile terminal 100.
The mobile terminal 100 may acquire location information by being connected to at least one wireless AP. The number of wireless APs required to acquire location information of the mobile terminal 100 may be variously changed according to a wireless communication environment within which the mobile terminal 100 is positioned.
Meanwhile, in the following description, various embodiments may be realized in a recording medium readable by a computer or a device similar to the computer by using, for example, software, hardware, or a combination thereof.
In addition, the mobile terminal 100 may be a wearable device, and may be a watch-type mobile terminal among wearable devices.
Meanwhile, the input unit 120 may further include the sensing unit 140 sensing a user's input to the touch screen in addition to the camera 121, the microphone 122, and the user input unit 123 described above.
Meanwhile, the input unit 120 may include all the configurations of the sensing unit 140 in addition to all the configurations of the input unit, thereby performing all the functions performed by the sensing unit 140.
Meanwhile, the term ‘memory 170’ is interchangeable with the term ‘storage unit 170’.
The method of operating of the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a step of detecting the detaching or attaching of the pen (S310), and a step of displaying the execution image of a memo application controlled by the detaching or attaching of the pen (S330).
Among them, the step of detecting the detaching or attaching of the pen will be described in detail with reference to
The mobile terminal 100 may include a pen 195 that is attachable to or detachable from the mobile terminal 100 and in contact of the screen of the display unit 151 to provide input to the mobile terminal 100. Herein, the pen 195 may be a stylus pen.
Meanwhile, if there is a user operation of pushing the pen 195, a head portion 195-2 of the pen 195 is projected, and a user may pull the head portion 195-2 of the pen 195.
Meanwhile, when the user pulls the head portion 195-2 of the protruding pen 195, a part of the pen 195 is detached as illustrated in
The sensing unit 140 senses the rotation of the pen 195 and the control unit 180 may acquire information on at least one of the rotation of the pen 195, the rotation direction, and the rotation angle of the pen based on the sensing result of the sensing unit 140. In addition, the control unit 180 may control the operation of the mobile terminal 100 based on at least one of the rotation, the rotation direction, and the rotation angle of the pen 195. The related details will be described later.
Meanwhile, when the user further pulls the pen 195 in a state that a part of the pen 195 is detached, the entire portion of the pen 195 is detached as illustrated in
Meanwhile, when the pen 195 is completely removed, the user may make a memo on the screen of the display unit 151 using the pen 195.
Specifically, when the user touches the screen of the display unit 151 with the pen 195, the sensing unit 140 may sense the touch of the pen 195 and perform an operation corresponding to the touch of the pen 195. For example, when the user makes a memo using the pen 195, the control unit 180 may display a UI corresponding to the movement path of the touched pen 195.
That is to say, the pen 195 may contact the screen of the display unit 151 and provide input to the mobile terminal 100.
Referring back to
This will be described in detail with reference to
When the mobile terminal 100 is connected with another mobile terminal, as illustrated in
Meanwhile, if the pen 195 is detached during a telephone call, that is, while the telephone call application is being executed, the control unit 180 may execute the memo application and control the display unit 151 to display the execution image of the memo application have.
Meanwhile, as illustrated in
Meanwhile, if the pen 195 is detached while the telephone call application is being executed, the control unit 180 may display an icon for displaying the notepad UI 420. In this case, as the input for selecting an icon for displaying the notepad UI 420 is received, the control unit 180 may display the notepad UI 420.
When the pen 195 is detached while the telephone call application is being executed, the control unit 180 executes the memo application and immediately displays the notepad UI 420 (without displaying an icon for displaying the notepad UI 420, but the present invention is not limited thereto. As described above, according to the present invention, the notepad UI 420 is displayed immediately after the pen 195 is detached, thereby providing an environment in which a user who is in a telephone call may quickly take notes.
Meanwhile, the control unit 180 receives an input from the user to make a memo on the notepad UI 420, and displays a text corresponding to the received input or a UI corresponding to the received input.
For example, as illustrated in
For another example, the control unit 180 may receive the input through a text input window and display the text corresponding to the received input.
Meanwhile, although the present embodiment has been described in that the notepad UI 420 is displayed on a part of the screen of the display unit 151 and overlapped with the execution image 410 of the telephone call application, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, when the telephone 195 is executed while the telephone call application is being executed and the execution image 410 of the telephone call application is being displayed, the control unit 180 executes the memo application, and the execution image of the memo application may be displayed on the full region.
Meanwhile, when the memo application is executed as the pen 195 is detached while the telephone call application is being executed, the control unit 180 may control the output of audio from the mobile terminal 100.
Specifically, based on whether or not an external device capable of outputting audio is connected, the control unit 180 outputs the audio to be output in a speaker mode from the mobile terminal 100, or outputs the audio signal corresponding to the audio to be output to the external device connected with the mobile terminal 100. Here, the external device connected with the mobile terminal 100 is an external device capable of communicating with the mobile terminal 100 and capable of outputting audio, and includes not only an external device connected by wire but also an external device wirelessly connected thereto.
When an external device capable of outputting audio is an earphone connected with the mobile terminal 100 via the interface unit 160 or a Bluetooth earphone 900 connected with the mobile terminal 100 through the wireless communication unit 110, the control unit 180 may obtain information on whether the earphone or the Bluetooth earphone 900 is connected.
When the earphone or the Bluetooth earphone 900 is connected with the mobile terminal 100, the control unit 180 may transmit the audio signal corresponding to the audio to be outputted from the mobile terminal 100 to the earphone or the Bluetooth earphone 900. In this case, the earphone or the Bluetooth earphone 900 may output audio corresponding to the received audio signal.
The mobile terminal 100 may include a communication unit (not illustrated). The communication unit (not illustrated) may include an interface unit 160 that is connected with an external device by wire to communicate with the external device, and a wireless communication unit 100 wirelessly connected with the external device to communicate with the external device.
Meanwhile, when the earphone or the Bluetooth earphone 900 is not connected with the mobile terminal 100, the control unit 180 may control the audio output module 152 to output audio in the speaker mode.
In order to make a memo on the notepad UI, a user needs to move the mobile terminal 100 away from the ear, so that the mobile terminal 100 cannot hear the audio output in a normal mode. Accordingly, according to the present invention, when the pen 195 is detached and the memo application is executed, the audio to be output may be output in the speaker mode or may be output through an external device capable of outputting audio, and thus an environment in which a user may hear the audio output through the mobile terminal 100 while making the note.
In addition, since audio is output in a speaker mode or an audio signal is transmitted to an external device depending on whether the external device is connected, the present invention is advantageous in that audio may be delivered to the user in a manner optimized for a user's situation.
Meanwhile, based on the size of the external sound received from the mobile terminal 100, the control unit 180 may change the volume of the audio output in the speaker mode.
Specifically, the microphone 122 included in the mobile terminal 100 may receive external sound from the outside. The control unit 180 may determine the size of the external sound received from the outside.
In addition, as the size of the external sound received from the outside increases, the control unit 180 may control the audio output module 152 to volume up the audio output in the speaker mode. As another example, as the size of the external sound received from the outside is received, the control unit 180 controls the audio output module 152 to more volume down the audio output in the speaker mode.
When the audio is output in the speaker mode, the audio output in the speaker mode may not be sufficiently transmitted to the user due to noise. In addition, when there is no external noise, in the state that the audio excessively volume up, the audio may be delivered to the user.
Therefore, the present invention is advantageous in that audio have a volume optimized for the user's situation may be delivered to the user by changing the volume of the audio output according to the external sound collected by the mobile terminal 100.
Meanwhile, although the present embodiment has been described in that the pen 195 is detached and the memo application is executed while the telephone call application is being executed, the present invention is not limited thereto. When the pen 195 may be detached, the control unit 180 may execute the memo application and display the execution screen of the memo application.
When the pen 195 is mounted again, that is, when the detached pen 195 is mounted on the mobile terminal, the control unit 180 may store the memo input by the user and terminate the execution of the memo application.
In detail, as illustrated in
As another example, when the detached pen 195 is mounted on the mobile terminal 100 is displayed in the state that the text corresponding to the input received from the user is displayed, the control unit 180 may display a text corresponding to the input received from the user, may terminate the execution of the memo application, and may terminate the display of the execution video of the memo application.
In this case, the control unit 180 may display a UI 510 indicating that the memo is stored.
Thus, the present invention may control the execution and termination of the memo application as the pen is detached and mounted. In particular, according to the present invention, a notepad UI is automatically displayed when a user detach a pen to make a note, and when the user finishes the memo and mount the pen again, the memo contents are automatically stored and the memo application is terminated. It is possible to provide an environment in which the user may easily perform operations for making and finishing a note.
A memo application may be executed not only by the detachment of the pen 195 but also by another method. For example, when an input for executing the memo application is received from the user, the control unit 180 may execute the memo application and display the execution image 610 of the memo application.
Meanwhile, in the state in which the memo application is executed, the execution mode of the memo application may include a pen mode and a text mode.
In this case, the pen mode may be a mode of displaying a UI corresponding to a movement trajectory of the pen 195 that is in contact with (or proximity to) the screen. The text mode may be a mode of displaying a text corresponding to input through a text input window.
Meanwhile, when an input for executing the memo application is received from the user while the pen 195 is mounted, the control unit 180 executes the memo application in the text mode and displays the execution image 610 of the memo application.
Meanwhile, the execution image 610 of the memo application in the text mode may include a UI 611 indicating that the mode of the current memo application is the text mode. In addition, the execution image 610 of the memo application in the text mode may include a text input window 612 capable of receiving the user's touch input. In addition, the execution image 610 of the memo application in the text mode may include a notepad UI 613.
Meanwhile, the control unit 180 may receive an input from the user through the text input window 612 and may display a text 615 corresponding to the input through the text input window on the notepad UI 613.
Meanwhile, in the state that the execution mode of the memo application is the text mode, when the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 may change the execution mode of the memo application to the pen mode as illustrated in
Meanwhile, the execution image 710 of the memo application in the pen mode may include a UI 711 indicating that the execution mode of the current memo application is the pen mode.
In addition, the execution image 610 of the memo application in the text mode may include a notepad UI 713.
Meanwhile, the control unit 180 may receive an input that moves after touching the pen 195 to the screen. In this case, the control unit 180 may display a UI 715 corresponding to the movement trajectory of the movement of the pen 195 on the notepad UI 713.
Meanwhile, the notepad UI 613 included in the execution image 610 of the memo application in the text mode may be the same as a notepad UI 713 included in the execution image 710 of the memo application in the pen mode.
Specifically, the notepad UI 713 included in the execution image 710 of the memo application in the pen mode may include the text 615 corresponding to the input received in the text mode.
That is to say, when the execution mode of the memo application is changed to the pen mode, the control unit 180 may display the notepad UI 713 including the text 615 displayed in the text mode according to the input received in the text mode. Then, when an input that moves after the pen 195 is touched to the screen is received, the control unit 180 displays, on the notepad UI 173, the UI 715 corresponding to the trajectory of movement of the pen 195 together with the text 615, which are displayed in the text mode.
Meanwhile, when the pen 195 is mounted again in the state that the execution mode of the memo application is the pen mode, that is, when the removed pen 195 is mounted again, the control unit 180 may change the execution mode of the memo application as illustrated in
As described above, according to the present invention, when the pen 195 is detached, a new notepad for making a memo using the pen 195 is not newly provided, but only changes the notepad in the text mode to the pen mode. Accordingly, it is possible to provide an environment in which a memo may be input to the same notepad by selectively using the text mode or the pen mode.
Further, according to the present invention, user convenience may be improved by automatically changing the execution mode of the memo application as the pen 195 is detached and remounted without any other special input. In other words, since the attaching of the pen 195 by the user indicates that the user intends to make a memo using the pen 195. According to the present invention, the execution mode of the memo application is changed to the pen mode using the pen only by detaching the pen 195. Since the re-mounting the pen 195 by the user indicates that the user makes a memo without the pen 195. According to the present invention, the execution mode of the memo application may be changed to the text mode without employing the pen only by mounting the pen 195.
Meanwhile, referring to
Meanwhile, the notepad UI 613 included in the execution image 610 of the memo application in the text mode may include a UI 617 indicating a line on which the text is displayed.
Meanwhile, when the execution mode of the memo application is changed from the text mode to the pen mode, as illustrated in
Meanwhile, if the execution mode of the memo application is changed to the pen mode and then to the text mode again, as illustrated in
Specifically, when the execution mode of the memo application is changed from the text mode to the pen mode and then back to the text mode, the control unit 180 displays the cursor 814 in the text mode before the execution mode of the memo application is changed to the pen mode, at the same position as the position at which the cursor 614 was displayed.
In detail, if the execution mode of the memo application is changed from the text mode to the pen mode and then changed from the pen mode to the text mode, the control unit 180 displays the UI 817 representing a line on which a text is displayed on the same position as the display position of the UI 617 representing the line in which the text in the text mode before the execution mode of the memo application is changed to the pen mode is displayed.
Then, when an input is received from the user, the control unit 180 may display the text corresponding to the input received from the user at the position of the cursor 814.
For example, when the text 615 “Hello nice to m” has been displayed in the text mode, the cursor 614 has been displayed to the right of the text 615 of “Hello nice to m”, and the UI 715 corresponding to the movement trajectory of the pen 195 is displayed in the pen mode. In this case, when change to the text mode is made, the control unit 180 may display the cursor 814 on the right side of the text 615 of “Hello nice to m”. When the input corresponding to “e” is received from the user while the cursor 814 is being displayed, the control unit 180 displays the text “e” at the cursor position to display the text of “Hello nice to me”.
As described above, according to the present invention, the text mode and the pen mode may be easily changed as the pen 195 is detached and mounted, and the position where the new text is input is the same as the position where the new text is input in the previous text mode, thereby eliminating inconvenience of re-designating the position where the new text is displayed and simplifying the user's operation.
Meanwhile, although the present invention has been described in that the cursor 814 is displayed at the same position as that of the cursor 614 displayed in the previous text mode, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
For example, as illustrated in
Here, the new position at which the UI 821 representing the line on which the text is displayed is displayed may be the lower line of the UI 715 corresponding to the movement trajectory of the pen 195 in the pen mode.
When the execution mode of the memo application is changed from the text mode to the pen mode and then changed from the pen mode to the text mode again, the control unit 180 displays, at the new position, the cursor 822 indicating the position where the text corresponding to the user input is displayed.
In this case, the new position for displaying the cursor 822 representing the position at which the text is displayed may be a point in the lower line of the UI 715 corresponding to the movement trajectory of the pen 195 in the pen mode.
Changing the execution mode of the application from the pen mode to the text mode may be regarded as the intention of the user to complete the memo in the pen mode and to make a new memo in the text mode. Thus, according to the present invention, the user is allowed to to make a new memo under the UI 715 corresponding to the movement trajectory of the pen 195 when the execution mode of the application is changed from the pen mode to the text mode again, thereby improving the convenience of the user.
All embodiments described with reference to
The structure of the flexible display device will be described in detail with reference to
The flexible display device (deformable display device 200) according to an embodiment of the present invention may a next generation display device which may be not only bent but also may be stretchable, unlike the conventional display device which is implemented only with a rigid material such as glass or silicon, and may be implemented under a new environment.
In one embodiment, the flexible display device 200 may be a stretchable display device that is stretched when pulled, and may be reduced back to its original state when released. The stretchable display device may be stretched when pulled, and may be fixed in a stretched state after a certain period of time in the stretched state. In addition, the stretchable display device may be reduced to its original state when a force for reducing it is applied.

Therefore, the following description will be made while focusing on specific elements and functions of the flexible display device 200.
Referring to
The sensing unit 210 may sense the intensity of the force applied to a display unit 250 and the direction of the force.
According to one embodiment, the sensing unit 210 may include one or more pressure sensors. The one or more pressure sensors may be disposed in the display unit 250. When the sensing unit 210 includes the one or more pressure sensors, each pressure sensor 211 may detect a change in capacitance or a change in resistance between both ends of a region to which pressure (force) is applied, as illustrated in
According to another embodiment, the sensing unit 210 may include a plurality of acceleration sensors 213-1 to 213-4, as illustrated in
The acceleration sensor is a sensor that detects acceleration or impact strength when an object moves. The motion state of the display unit 250 may be detected in detail by the acceleration sensor. The acceleration sensor may sense the acceleration of the display unit 250 in three directions (x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis) perpendicular to each other. The control unit 290 may acquire the moving speed using the accelerations in the three-axis direction measured through the acceleration sensor. The control unit 290 may obtain the expanded distance of the display unit 250 in the three-axis direction using the obtained moving speed. The control unit 290 may acquire the direction and the strength of the force applied to the display unit 250 using the movement speed and the movement distance acquired using the acceleration sensor. The control unit 290 may expand the display unit 250 according to the direction and the strength of the acquired force.
According to another embodiment, the sensing unit 210 may include a plurality of hall sensors. The hall sensors may be disposed inside the display unit 250 or on the display unit 250. When the sensing unit 210 includes a plurality of hall sensors, the control unit 290 may expand or reduce the display unit 250 through a voltage sensed by the hall sensor depending on a force applied to the display unit 250.
The display unit 250 may be stretched in at least one direction. The display unit 250 may include a flexible substrate and an image display unit. The flexible substrate may be formed of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) material with excellent stretchability and may be expanded according to the pulling force. The image display unit is formed on the flexible substrate and may be expanded together as the flexible substrate is expanded. The image display unit may display an image.
The display unit 250 may include an organic light emitting diode (OLED).
The storage unit 270 may match the force applied to the display unit 250 with the degree of expansion or reduction of the display unit 250 corresponding to the intensity of the force and may store the matching result. The degree of expansion of the display unit 250 may indicate the length along which the display unit 250 is expanded and the degree of reduction of the display unit 250 may indicate the length along which the display unit 250 is reduced.
The control unit 290 may expand or reduce the display unit 250 depending on the force sensed through the sensing unit 210. The enlargement of the display unit 250 may indicate that the size of the screen displayed by the display unit 250 is enlarged and the reduction of the display unit 250 may indicate that the size of the screen to be displayed by the display unit 250 is reduced. The control unit 290 may change a graphic or an image displayed on the screen as the screen size of the display unit 250 is enlarged or reduced.
In addition, the control unit 290 may control the whole operation of the flexible display device 200. More detailed operations of the control unit 290 will be described later with reference to accompanying drawings.
Referring to
The upper case 240, the lower case 260, and the intermediate case 220 form an appearance of the rollable display device 200_2. The intermediate case 220 may have a cylindrical shape, but is not limited thereto, and may have various shapes such as a hexahedron shape. The intermediate case 220 may be partially opened as illustrated in
The upper case 240 and the lower case 260 may have a structure that covers the intermediate case 220 at upper and lower cases thereof. The upper case 240 and the lower case 260 may not expose various components provided inside the intermediate case 220 to the outside. The upper case 240 may have a recessed part 246 recessed inwardly of the upper case 240 so as to be in the form of a plane. At least one of a camera 241 and an audio output module 242 may be formed in the recess part 246. The first holder 223 (illustrated in
The display unit 250 may roll in toward the inside of the intermediate case 200 or roll out toward the outside from the intermediate case 220. In other words, the display unit 250 may be unwound, unrolled, or uncoiled toward the inside of the intermediate case 220, or may be unwound, unrolled, or coiled out from the intermediate case 220.
In the state that the display unit 250 is not deformed (for example, a state having an infinite radius of curvature; hereinafter referred to as a first operation state), a region displayed by the display unit 250 may be a plane. In the state (e.g., a state having a finite radius of curvature; hereinafter referred to as a second operating state) of the display unit 250 deformed by an external force in the first operating state, a region displayed by the display unit 250 may be a curved surface. As illustrated in the drawings, the information displayed in the second operating state may be visual information output on the curved surface. Such visual information may be realized by independently controlling the light emission of sub-pixels arranged in a matrix form.
The display unit 250 may be placed in a bent state (e.g., the state that the display portion 250 is bent up and down or left and right) instead of a flat state in the first operation state. In this case, if an external force is applied to the display unit 250, the display unit 250 may be deformed into the flat state (or a less bent state) or a more bent state.
Meanwhile, the display unit 250 may be combined with a touch sensor to realize a flexible touch screen. When a touch is made to the flexible touch screen, the control unit 290 may perform control corresponding to the touch input. The flexible touch screen may sense the touch input not only in the first operating state but also in the second operating state.
Meanwhile, the rollable display device 200-2 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a deformation sensing unit for sensing deformation of the display unit 250. The deformation sensing unit may be included in the sensing unit 210 (see
The deformation sensing unit may be provided in the display unit 250 or the intermediate case 220 to sense information related to the deformation of the display unit 250. In this case, the information related to the deformation may be the deformation direction of the display unit 250, the deformation degree of the display unit, the deformed position of the display unit, the deformation time, and the acceleration at which the deformed display unit 250 is restored. In addition, the information may be various pieces of information that may be sensed as the display unit 250 is bent.
The control unit 290 may change the information displayed on the display unit 250 or may generate a control signal to control the function of the rollable display device 200-2, based on the information related to the deformation of the display unit 250.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first operation state of the rollable display device 200-2, which is an inactive state, may refer to a state that only a minimum display region is exposed to the outside. The second operation state of the rollable display device 200-2, which is an active state, may refer to the state that the display unit 250 is expanded. The expanded display unit 250 may refer to that the screen displayed by the display unit 250 is expanded. The expansion at this time is gradually made. The display region of the rollable display device 200-2 may be expanded or reduced by rolling the display unit 250. The display region of the rollable display device 200-2 may be expanded or reduced by rolling the display unit 250. In this case, although the expansion or the reduction of the rollable display device 200-2 may be realized one time, the change of the display region may be gradually expanded or reduced. Accordingly, all states except for the first operation state may be named the second operation state.

As illustrated in
The control unit 290 (illustrated in
When the display unit 250 is separated from the outer circumferential surface of the inner case 238, the control unit 290 may turn on the separated part and turn off the not-separated part. The control unit 290 may detect that the display unit 250 is separated from the outer circumferential surface of the inner case 238 by using the length sensing unit 211 disposed on the inner circumferential surface of the inner case 238. Accordingly, the control unit 290 may turn on the separated part and turn off the non-separated part.
Referring to
The shaft 281 may be rotated as the inner case 238 is rotated.
The inner case 238 may be configured in the form of a roller to be rotatable, and may perform a function of winding or unwinding the display unit 250 according to the rotation. The inner case 238 is axially connected with the intermediate case 220 to be is rotatable.
The length sensing unit 211 may sense the winding length of the display unit 250 or the unwinding length of the display unit 250. The length sensing unit 211 may include a magnetic member. The length sensing unit 211 may include at least one hall sensor. The length sensing unit 211 will be described later in detail.
The rotation amount sensing unit 213 may sense the number of times that the display unit 250 is wound on the inner case 238. In other words, the rotation amount sensing unit 213 may sense how many times the display unit 250 is wound as the display unit 250 is wound on the inner case 238. The rotation amount sensing unit 213 may include a magnetic member. The rotation amount sensing unit 213 may include at least one hall sensor. This will be described in detail later.
Each of the plurality of circuit boards 280 may mount a plurality of electronic circuit components for operation of the rollable display device 200-2.
The flexible circuit board 283 may connect the display unit 250 with the electronic circuit components mounted on the inner case 238. The electronic circuit component may include one or more of the sensing unit 210, the storage unit 270, and the control unit 290 illustrated in
A support frame 262 supports the circuit board 280 and may be provided inside the inner case 238.
The inner case 238 may be rotated by the magnetic force between the length sensing unit 211 and rolling sensing units 234 spaced apart from each other under the display unit 250. The rolling sensing unit 234 may include a magnetic member and may include one or more hall sensors. The display unit 250 may be rotated together with the inner case 238 while being wound on the inner case 238 by the magnetic force. Specifically, the display unit 250 may be rolled by an attractive force between the rolling sensing unit 234 and the length sensing unit 211. For example, when the length sensing portion 211 includes a magnetic member of an N pole and the rolling sensing unit 234 includes a magnetic member of an S pole, they are attracted to each other by their attractions. The position sensing unit 211 may be fixed in position. The rolling sensing unit 234 is attracted while linearly moving toward the length sensing unit 211 and the rolling sensing units 234, which are subsequently formed while being spaced apart from each other, are continuously introduced into the intermediate case 220. Rolling sensing units 234, which have already been introduced, continuously interact with the length sensing unit 211, so that the rolling sensing units 234 rotate about the length sensing unit 211 while maintaining the balance in the attractive force between the rolling sensing unit 234, which is newly introduced, and the length sensing unit 211, 234. Through such a mechanism, the display unit 250 is rolled while being wounded.
The display unit 250 is provided on the bottom surface thereof with a sheet 222 having the rolling sensing unit 234. The sheet 222 may be included in the display unit 250 and may be provided separately from the display unit 250. The sheet 222 may have a flexible material. For example, the sheet 222 may be silicone or Thermoplastic Poly Urethane (TPU). The sheet 222 may be attached in the form of a sheet frame to the bottom surface of the display unit 250, and sequentially fixes the rolling sensing units 234. The sheet 222 may be formed through bonding, taping, or inserting molding. In addition, the sheet 222 has a thin thickness with a flexible property and may be formed of a material representing excellent elasticity and elongation. This is to allow the rolling sensing units 234 to have the same magnetic polarity so the display units 250 are spread due to the repulsive force to be flat. In other words, the rolling sensing units 234 having the same magnetic polarity generate repulsive force therebetween to push the rolling sensing units 234 adjacent to each other such that the display units 250 are spread to be flat.
The length sensing unit 2111 may sense the magnetic force with the rolling sensing unit 234 to calculate the winding length or the unwinding length of the display unit 250. The rotation amount sensing unit 213 may sense the number of frequencies that the display unit 250 is wound around the outer circumferential surface of the internal case 238. The details thereof will be described with reference to

In this case, the control unit 180 may expand or reduce a screen 1310 such that the screen 1310 has the size corresponding to the size of the execution image of the specific application. For example, the control unit 180 may expand the screen 1310 by a specific length so that the entire portion of the execution image of a specific application may be included without being truncated. For another example, the control unit 180 may reduce the screen 1310 by a specific length so that the screen 1310 includes only the execution image of the specific application.
In the state that the execution image of the memo application is displayed, there may be a case where the user needs additional space for note.
For example, as illustrated in
As another example, when a UI corresponding to the trajectory of the text or the pen 195 is displayed on a region having a specific area or more of the entire region of the notepad UI, a space may be insufficient for the user to make a note.
In this case, if the ratio of the region where the information (the text, the UI corresponding to the trajectory of the pen 195, the attached image, etc.) is displayed on the notepad UI becomes a specific ratio of the entire area of the notepad UI, the control unit 180 additionally expand the screen and may display an execution image of a memo application on the expanded screen 1310. In addition the execution image of the memo application displayed on the screen 1310 additionally expanded may include an expanded notepad UI.

In this case, the first region may be a region corresponding to the length of “a” in which the screen 1310 has already been expanded. In addition, the second region may be a region corresponding to a part expanded from the screen 1310 by the length of “b”.
For example, as illustrated in
In addition, the control unit 180 may display the execution image 1710 of the telephone call application, which has been previously executed, on a first region of the screen 1805 expanded by the length of “a” and the length of “b”, that is, on a region 1870 corresponding to the length of “a” which has been already expanded.
In addition, the control unit 180 may display the execution image 1810 of the memo application, which is an application newly executed as the pen 195 is detached, on the second region of the screen 1805 expanded by the length of “a” and the length of “b”, that is, on the region 1880 corresponding to the length of “b” additionally expanded.
Meanwhile, although the present embodiment has been described in that the execution image of the application, which has been previously executed, is displayed on the first region, and the execution image of the application executed as the pen is detached is displayed on the second region, the embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the execution image of the application executed as the pen is detached may be displayed on the first region, and the execution image of the application, which has been previously executed, may be displayed on the second region.
Meanwhile, one or more UI objects included in the execution image of the application being executed may be rearranged after the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 is additionally expanded.
The details thereof will be described with reference to
Referring to
Meanwhile, if a screen is additionally expanded as the pen 195 is detached in the state that a specific application is already being executed, the control unit 180 may display an execution image 1830 of a specific application on a screen 1805 additionally expanded.
Meanwhile, the execution image 1830 of the specific application displayed on the screen 1805 additionally expanded may include one or more objects 1831, 1832, 1834, 1835, 1836, 1837, 1838, and 1839.

Accordingly, the control unit 180 may display the execution image 1830 of the specific application, which has the size different from the size of the execution image 1710 of the specific application displayed on the screen 1310 displayed before the screen is additionally expanded.
In the case of rollable display devices, the maximum expanded length of the screen may be limited. In addition, when the length of the screen is excessively expanded, it is inconvenient for a user to use the rollable display device.
In this case, the UI objects included in the execution image of the application which is being executed are re-arranged, so that the execution image of the application, which has a smaller size, is displayed, thereby preventing the size of the screen from being excessively enlarged.
Description has been made in the foregoing embodiment, the execution image of the first application being executed is displayed on the first region of the expanded screen, and the execution image of the second application executed as the pen is attached is displayed on the second region of the expanded screen.
However, the present invention is not limited to thereto. For example, the present invention may be implemented in a scheme that the execution image of the second application executed as the pen is detached may be displayed on the entire region of the expanded screen.
For example,
Meanwhile, if the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 may additionally expand a screen which is previously expanded. In addition, if the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 may execute the memo application and an execution image 1920 of a memo application may be displayed on a screen 1910 additionally expanded as illustrated in
Meanwhile, an execution image of a telephone call application, which is running, is not displayed. However, the execution image of the telephone call application is only terminated, and the control unit 180 may keep executing the telephone call application. Accordingly, even if the execution image 1920 of the memo application is displayed on the entire portion of the screen 1910 additionally expanded, the user may keep making the telephone call.
Meanwhile, although the telephone call application is continuously running, when the execution image of the telephone call application is not displayed, that is, when the execution image of the telephone call application is run in background, the control unit 180 may display a UI representing that the telephone call application is running in background or a UI 1930 including execution information of the telephone call application.
When the pen re-mounted, the control unit 180 may reduce a screen of a rollable display device 200-2.
The length of the screen of the rollable display device 200-2, which has been reduced, may be equal to the length of a screen of the rollable display device 200-2 before the screen is expanded as the pen 195 is detached.
For example, it is assumed that a screen is additionally expanded by the length of “b” as illustrated in
For another example, it is assumed that a screen is expanded as illustrated in
Meanwhile, if the detached pen 195 is attached again, the control unit 180 may store, in the storage unit 170, information (that is, a memo input by the user) displayed on the notepad UI and may terminate the execution of the memo application.
As described above, according to the present invention, the expansion of a screen, the execution of an application, and the reduction of the screen, the storage of the information, and the termination in the execution of the application are controlled only by detaching and re-attaching the pen without another operation, thereby improving the convenience of the money.
The control unit 180 may receive, from a user, a touch input to a screen. If received is a touch input to a region that the execution image 2120 of the telephone call application is displayed, the control unit 180 may reduce the additionally expanded screen 2110 as illustrated in
Meanwhile, the description on the forgoing embodiment has been described regarding that information corresponding to an input received from a user is displayed on a notepad UI. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the information corresponding to the input received from the user may be displayed on an execution image of a specific application.
For example, if a touch input using the pen 195 is received as illustrated in
In this case, if an input to store the information 2121 corresponding to the received input is received, the control unit 180 may store the information 2121 corresponding to the received input in the storage unit 170.
In this case, the control unit 180 may store only information 2121 corresponding to the received input, that is, information displayed on the execution image of the telephone call application. However, the present invention is not limited. The control unit 180 may store the execution image 2120 of the telephone call application and the information 2121 corresponding to the received input included in the execution image 2120 of the telephone call application.
Meanwhile when a touch input to an execution image 2120 of the telephone call application is received while a telephone call is being made together with a mobile terminal of a specific person, the control unit 180 display information corresponding to the received touch input on an execution image 2120 of the telephone call application, may match information corresponding to the received touch input with the information on a telephone number of the specific person, and may store the matching result. The details thereof will be described below.
Meanwhile, although the present embodiment has been described in that a screen is reduced if a touch input is received with respect to a region that the execution image 2120 of the telephone call application is displayed, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
For example, it may be implemented that, even if the touch input is received with respect to the region that the execution image 2120 of the telephone c application is displayed, if an input is received from a user in the state that the screen is not reduced, the control unit 180 may display information corresponding to the received input on the execution image 2120 of the telephone call application even if the execution image 2120 of the telephone call application.
As described above, the present invention may provide an environment that a user may not only make a memo on an execution image of the memo application, but directly make a memo an execution image of another application. In particular, in the case of the telephone call application, information on a caller is mainly displayed on the execution image of the telephone call application. Accordingly, the present invention may provide an environment that a memo may be directly made on the execution image of the telephone call application instead of a notepad and both the execution image of the telephone call application and the memo contained in the execution image of the telephone call application may be stored. Accordingly, a user may make a call with a certain caller while easily detecting the type of the note.
In addition, the present invention has an advantage of resolving the inconvenience of a user to be caused due to a larger screen by reducing the size of a screen when the user makes a memo on the execution image of another application.
Meanwhile, although the foregoing embodiment has been described in that the memo application is executed as the pen 195 is detached during the execution of the telephone call application, the present invention is not limited thereto.
The details thereof will be described with reference to

As described above, the present invention provides an environment that information associated with applications may be easily stored while not only a telephone call application, but various applications are being executed.
For example, the present invention may provide an environment that a user may easily make a desired memo while a user is using an Internet application by providing an execution image of the memo application while the Internet application is being executed.
The details thereof will be described in detail with reference to
Referring to
Meanwhile, the control unit 180 may display an execution image 2310 of the Internet application and an execution image 2320 of a memo application may be displayed on a screen 2330 which is additionally expanded. In this case, the execution image 2320 of the memo application may include a notepad UI on which information corresponding to an input received from a user is displayed.
In this case, a user may make a memo of information associated with the execution image 2310 of the Internet application on the execution image 2320 of the memo application, based on the execution image 2310 of the Internet application.
Meanwhile, the execution image 2320 of the memo application may contain an image obtained by scraping information contained in the execution image of the application which is running.
For example, when the execution image 2310 of the Internet application and the execution image 2320 of the memo application are displayed on the screen 2330 which is additionally expanded as the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 may display an image obtained by scraping the information included in the execution image 2310 of the Internet application on the execution image 2330 of the memo application.
Specifically, the execution image 2310 of an Internet application may include an image 2340 of a specific web-page. Meanwhile, the control unit 180 may receive an input for selecting information 2341 contained in the image 2340 of the specific web-page. Meanwhile, when an input for selecting the information 2341 contained in the image 2340 of the specific web-page is received, the control unit 180 displays information 2341 corresponding to the information 2341 contained in the image 2340 of the specific web-page 2321 on the execution image 2320 of the memo application.
The information 2321 corresponding to the information 2341 contained in the image 2340 of the specific web-page may be text. For example, when the information 2341 included in the image 2340 of a specific web-page is text, the information 2321 corresponding to the information 2341 contained in the image 2340 of the specific web-page may also be text. In this case, the control unit 180 may display a text corresponding to the text contained in the image 2340 of the specific web-page on the execution image 2320 of the memo application in a scheme of copying a text contained in the image 2340 of the specific web-page.
Meanwhile, when information contained in the image 2340 of a specific web-page is an image, information corresponding to information contained in the image 2340 of the specific web-page may be an image. In this case, the control unit 180 may acquire an image corresponding to an image contained in the image 2340 of the web-page in a manner of capturing an image included in the image 2340 of a specific web-page or downloading the image from the server and displaying the acquired image on the execution image 2320 of the memo application.
Meanwhile, the control unit 180 may change the execution image of the Internet application, based on the input received from the user.
In detail, as illustrated in
For another example, although not illustrated, the control unit 180 may display an execution image of an Internet application containing an image in which the specific web-page is scrolled as described in
Meanwhile, the control unit 180 may receive an input for selecting information 2441 included in an image. Meanwhile when the input for selecting the information 2441 contained in the image 2440 of the second web-page is received, the control unit 180 may display the information 2421 corresponding to the information 2441 contained in the image 2440 of the second web-page on the execution image 2320 of the memo application.
Although the description has been made with reference to
Accordingly, hereinafter, the description will be made regarding an embodiment additionally applied in addition to the embodiments described with reference to
Meanwhile, as illustrated in
Meanwhile, when the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 may expand a screen of the rollable display device 200-2. In this case, the control unit 180 may control the display unit 151 such that the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 is expanded by a specific length.
In detail, when the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 may expand the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 by a specific length such that the expanded screen 2710 contains the entire portion of the execution image 2720 of the application in the pen memo mode without cropping the execution image 2720.
The size of the execution image of the memo application when the execution mode of the memo application is a pen mode may be different from the size of the execution image of the memo application when the execution mode of the memo application is a text mode. Accordingly, when the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 may expand the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 by a specific length such that the expanded screen 2710 contains the entire portion of the execution image 2720 of the memo application.
Meanwhile, when the pen 195 is attached as illustrated in
Meanwhile, when the detached pen 195 is attached again, the control unit 180 may reduce the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 and may display, on the reduced screen 2810, the execution image 2820 of the memo application in the text mode.
In this case, the control unit 180 may control the display unit 151 such that the screen of the rollable display device 2002-2 is reduced by a specific length.
In detail, when the pen 195 is attached again, the control unit 180 may reduce the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 by a specific length such that the execution image 2820 of the memo application in the text mode is displayed on the entire portion of the screen 2810 in which the execution image 2820 of the memo application in the text mode is reduced.
As described above, according to the present invention, as the pen 195 is detached and attached again, the execution mode of the memo application is automatically changed and a screen is provided in size corresponding to the execution mode of the memo application, thereby improving the convenience of the user. In other words, in the pen mode, a screen may be expanded such that a user may make a memo on a larger screen. In the text mode, a screen may be reduced such that the user may easily make memo by using a text input window.
The rollable display device 200-2 may include a first case 295 and a second case 298. The first case 295 may be provided at one end of the display unit, and the second case 298 may be provided at an opposite end of the display unit.
In this case, the second case 298 includes the same configuration as that of the first case 295, and may expand and reduce the screen. In other words, the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 may be expanded and reduced through the operation in the first case 295 and may be expanded and reduced through the operation in the second case 298.
The second case 298 may have the same configuration as that of the first case 295, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the second case 298 may only serve as a holder that allows the user to pull the second case 298 to expand the screen.
Meanwhile, the pen 195 may be attached to the first case 295 or the second case 298. Meanwhile, the rollable display device 200-2 may include two pens. When the rollable display device 200-2 includes two pens, one pen may be attached to the first case 295 and the other pen may be attached to the second case 298.
The first case 295 may include a first sensing unit (not illustrated) for sensing a user's touch to the first case 295. The second case 298 may include a second sensing unit (not illustrated) for sensing a user's touch to the second case 298.
The control unit 180 may determine a region of the screen on which the execution image of the memo application is displayed, based on the first sensing unit (not illustrated) for sensing the touch of the user to the first case 295 and a second sensing unit (not illustrated) for sensing the touch of the user to the second case 298,
The user grips the first case 295 and the second case 298 with one hand and detaches the pen 195 with the other hand.
As illustrated in
Meanwhile, when the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 may expand the screen as illustrated in
When the touch of the user to the first case 295 is detected by the first sensing unit and the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 displays the execution image of the memo application on the left side region 2911 of the expanded screen.
When the user holds the pen with the right hand, the user holds the rollable display device 200-2 with the left hand. When the user holds the rollable display device 200-2 with the left hand, the user holds the first case 295 with the left hand.
Accordingly, when the pen 195 is detached in the state that the user holds the first case 295 with the left hand, that is, when the pen 195 is detached in a state that a touch to the first case 295 is being sensed, the control unit 180 may determine that the pen 195 is detached by the user's right hand.
Meanwhile, when the user supports the rollable display device 200-2 by holding the first case 295 with the left hand of the user, the user may make a memo on the side closer to the first case 295 supported by the user. In this case, the rollable display device 200-2 may be prevented from being shaken and the user making a memo may feel convenient.
Accordingly, when the user detaches the pen 195 while holding the first case 295 with the left hand, the control unit 180 may display the execution image of the memo application in the left region 2911 of the expanded screen.
As illustrated in
Meanwhile, when the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 may expand the screen as illustrated in
Meanwhile, if the touch of the user to the second case 298 is detected by the second sensing unit (not illustrated) and the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 displays the execution image of the memo application on a right region 3012 of the expanded screen 3010.
That is to say, when the user supports the roller-covered display device 200-2 by holding the second case 298 with the right hand, the user may be allowed to make a memo on the side closer to the second case 298 supported by the user, thereby preventing the rollable display device 200-2 from being shaken and providing convenience to the user who make a note.
Accordingly, when the pen 195 is detached in the state that the user holds the second case 298 with the right hand of the user, the control unit 180 displays the execution image of the memo application on the right region 3012 of the expanded screen 3010.
Meanwhile, the hand supporting the rollable display device 200-2 may be changed in the state that the pen is detached. For example, when the user holds the first case 295 with the left hand of the user and grips the pen 195 with the right hand of the user while making a note, the user, so the user holds the second case 298 with the right of the user and holds the pen 195 with the left hand of the user by changing the hand to make a note.
In this case, if the touch to the first case 295 is no longer detected and the touch to the second case 298 is detected, while the touch to the first case 295 is detected in the state that the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 may display the execution image of the memo application displayed in the left region of the expanded screen on the right region of the expanded screen.
Meanwhile, a recent mobile terminal has a function of automatically rotating an image on a screen. Similarly, the rollable display device 200-2 may also rotate an image on the screen at 180 degrees.
When the image on the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 is rotated at 180 degrees, and when the touch to the second case 298 is detected and the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 may display the execution image of the memo application on the left region of the expanded screen.
In addition, when the image on the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 is rotated at 180 degrees, and when the touch to the first case 295 is sensed and the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 may display the execution image of the memo application on the right region of the expanded screen.
The forgoing embodiment has been described in that, when the pen is detached from the rollable display device 200-2, the screen is expanded by a specific length, and when the pen is mounted on the rollable display device 200-2, the screen is reduced by a specific length.
However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 may be expanded or reduced according to the input of rotating the pen.
As illustrated in
Meanwhile, when a part of the pen 195 is detached, the first sensing unit (not illustrated) of the first case 295 may detect that a part of the pen 195 is detached.
Meanwhile, as illustrated in
Meanwhile, when a part of the pen 195 is detached and the pen 195 is rotated, the control unit 180 may control the display unit 151 such that the screen is expanded or reduced.
Specifically, the sensing unit 140 may sense the movement of the pen 195. Meanwhile, based on the movement of the pen 195 sensed by the sensing unit 140, the control unit 180 may determine that a part of the pen 195 is detached.
Meanwhile, the sensing unit 140 may sense the rotation of the pen 195. In this case, based on the rotation of the pen 195 sensed by the sensing unit 140, the control unit 180 may determine the rotation state and the rotation direction of the pen 195.
Meanwhile, when the pen 195 is rotated in the first direction in the state that the part of the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 may control the display unit 151 to expand the screen. When the pen 195 is rotated in the second direction opposite to the first direction in the state that a part of the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 may control the display unit 151 to reduce the screen.
Meanwhile, the rollable display device 200-2 may include an elastic member (not illustrated). When the pen 195 is rotated, the elastic member (not illustrated) may apply the elastic force to the pen 195 in a direction opposite to the rotating direction of the pen 195. Therefore, when a user, who has applied the rotational force to the pen 195 by holding the pen 195, releases the pen 195, the pen 195 may be recovered to the state before the pen is rotated, by the elastic member (not illustrated).
Meanwhile, if the pen 195 is recovered to the state before the pen 195 is rotated, the control unit 180 may control the display unit 151 to stop the expansion or reduction of the screen.
For example, when the user rotates the pen 195 in the first direction by applying rotational force to the pen 195, the control unit 180 may control the display unit 151 to expand the screen. When the user releases the pen 195, elastic force acts on the pen 195 to recover the pen 195 before the pen 195 is rotated. The control unit 180 may control the display unit 151 to stop the expansion of the screen.
For another example, when the pen 195 is rotated in the second direction by applying the rotational force to the pen 195, the control unit 180 may control the display unit 151 to reduce the screen. In addition, when the user releases the pen 195, elastic force is applied to the pen 195 so the pen 195 is recovered to the state before the pen 195 is rotated, and the control unit 180 may control the display unit 11 to stop the reduction of the screen.
The description has been made with reference to
As illustrated in
The image of the web-page, which is included in the screen 3410 before the screen is expanded, may be a partial image 3320 of the whole image of the web-page. In other words, when the size of the whole image of the web-page is larger than the size of the screen 3410 before the screen 3410 is expanded, the control unit 180 displays the partial image 3320 of the whole image of the web-page on the screen 3410 before the screen 3410 is expanded.
In addition, when a handling of scrolling a partial image 3320 of the web-age included in the screen 3410 before the screen is expanded, the control unit 180 may change the image, which is included in the screen 3410 before the screen 3410 is expanded, to another partial image.
Meanwhile, when the pen 195 rotates in the first direction in the state that a part of the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 may control the display unit 151 to expand the screen as illustrated in
Meanwhile, if the screen is expanded, the control unit 180 may display a partial or whole image 3310 of the web-page on the expanded screen 3420. In this case, the partial or whole image 3310 of the web-page may include the partial image 3320 of the web-page displayed on the screen 3310 before the screen 3310 is expanded and the partial image 3330 of the web-page additionally displayed as the screen is expanded.
In other words, if the screen is expanded in the state that a part of the web-page is displayed, another partial image of the web-page, which may not be displayed due to the size of the image, may be displayed in the additional display space produced as the screen is expanded.
Therefore, according to the present invention, the image, which is currently displayed on the we-page, is maintained to be continuously maintained while another part of the web-page is additionally displayed on the additionally expanded display space. Accordingly, the user does not need view the currently displayed image by changing the image. That is, the present invention may provide an environment that the user views the currently displayed image while viewing another part of the web-page.
Further, the present invention may provide an advantage that the user may easily adjust the size of the screen through the rotation of the pen by enlarging or reducing the screen when the pen is rotated.
Meanwhile, when a screen is expanded and a new image is additionally displayed on an expanded screen 3420, the control unit 180 may rotate the image displayed on the expanded screen 3420 and display the rotated image. In other words, an image 3320 displayed on a screen 3410 is not rotated as illustrated in
Meanwhile,
As illustrated in
When the pen 195 is rotated in the first direction in the state that a part of the pen 195 is detached, the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 may be expanded.
Meanwhile, if the screen of the display device 200-2 is expanded to the maximum expanded length and the pen 195 is rotated in the first direction in the state that the part of the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 may scroll down the web-page and may display an image 3510 of the scrolled web-page on the screen 3430 expanded to the maximum extension length.
Specifically, when the pen 195 is maintained to be rotated in the first direction, the control unit 180 may continuously scroll the web-page, and the image of the continuously scrolled web-page may be displayed on the screen 3430 expanded to the maximum expansion length.
In this case, if a user recover the pen 195 to the state before the pen 195 is rotated by releasing the pen 195, the control unit 180 stops scrolling the web-page and displays a partial image 3510 of the displayed web-page when the scrolling of the web-page is stopped.
The user may continue to expand the size of the screen to obtain additional information from other portions of the web-page that are not yet displayed. Accordingly, when the screen is expanded to the maximum extension length, it is possible to provide an environment in which the user may easily acquire additional information by automatically scrolling the web-page without any additional operation for scrolling the web-page.
Meanwhile, the description has been made with reference to
However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In addition, it may be implemented that the reduced image of the web-page is displayed as the pen 195 is rotated in the first direction in the state that the screen is expanded to the maximum expansion length.
Specifically, when the pen 195 is rotated in the first direction in the state that the screen is expanded to the maximum extension length, the control unit 180 displays the reduced image 3610 of the web-page.
For another example, when the pen 195 is rotated in the first direction in the state that the screen is expanded to the maximum extension length, and the pen is maintained to be rotated in the first direction, the control unit 180 may display an image of the web-page gradually reduced.
For another example, whenever the pen 195 is rotated in the first direction in the state that the screen is expanded to the maximum extension length, the control unit 180 may display an image of the web-page reduced by a specific ratio.
As described above, the present invention may provide an environment in which the user may easily obtain additional information by providing a reduced image as the pen is rotated when the screen is expanded to the maximum extension length.
Meanwhile, although the embodiments of
Although the description has been made with reference to
The user may press the pen 195 to capture an image of the currently displayed web-page.
Meanwhile, when the pen 195, which has been partially detached, is mounted on the rollable display device 200-2 as the user presses the pen 195, the control unit 180 captures an image 3710 of the displayed web-page and the captured image may be stored in the storage unit 170.
For another example, the user may capture the image of the currently displayed web-page and may pull the pen 195 to make a memo on the captured image.
Meanwhile, when the pen 195, which has been partially detached, is completely detached from the rollable display device 200-2 as the user pulls the pen 195, the control unit 180 may capture an image 3810 of the displayed web-page as illustrated in
In addition, the control unit 180 may display the captured image 3810 of the web-page. In addition, when an input for the memo is received from the user on the captured image 3810 of the web-page, the control unit 180 may display information 3820 corresponding to the input received from the user on the captured image 3810 of the web-page.
Meanwhile, as illustrated in
As described above with reference to
In addition, the present invention may be provided an environment allowing a user to simply perform a capture function in a desired capture scheme using the pen. In detail, when wanting to only capture a web-page currently displayed, a user may capture the web-page only by pressing the pen as illustrated in
Further, according to the present invention, when a user wants to make a memo on a web-page after capturing the web-page, the pen is completely detached, so the process of making a memo is performed subsequently to the capturing, thereby improving the user convenience.
Meanwhile, although the description is made with reference to
For example, the user may pull the pen 195 to detach a portion of the pen 195 to capture an image of the web-page. In this case, when an input for detaching a part of the pen 195 is received from the user, the control unit 180 may control the display unit 151 to expand the screen.
Meanwhile, when an input for detaching the part of the pen 195 is received from the user, the control unit 180 may expand the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 to a length in which the whole image of the web-page may be displayed.
Meanwhile, since the length of the whole image of the web-page is longer than the maximum extension length of the screen, even if the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 is expanded to the maximum extension length, the whole image of the web-page may not be displayed. In this case, that is, when the length of the whole image of the web-page is longer than the maximum extension length of the rollable display device 200-2, the control unit 180 may expand the rollable display device 200-2 to the maximum expansion length.
Meanwhile, when an input for rotating the pen 195 in the first direction is received in the state that the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 is expanded to the maximum extension length, the control unit 180 may scroll down the web-page and displays an image of the scrolled web-page 3510 on a screen 3430 expanded to the maximum expansion length as illustrated in
For another example, if an input for rotating the pen 195 in the first direction is received while the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 is expanded to the maximum extension length, the control unit 180 may display a whole image 3610 of a web-page by reducing the image of the web-page as illustrated in
Meanwhile, when an input for attaching the pen 195, which is partially detached, to the rollable display device 200-2 is received as illustrated in
When a call request is received from another mobile terminal while the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 is closed, and when a part of the pen 195 is detached, the control unit 180 may control the display unit 151 to be expanded as illustrated in
Meanwhile, when the screen is expanded, the control unit 180 displays, on the expanded screen, information 3910 on the other party requesting the telephone call, a UI 3920 for connecting the telephone call with the other party, and a UI 3930 rejecting the call.
Meanwhile, when an input for selecting the UI 3920 for calling the other party is received, the control unit 180 may receive the call of the mobile terminal of the other party. When an input for selecting a UI 3930 for rejecting the call of the other party is received, the control unit 180 may reject the call of the mobile terminal of the other party.
Meanwhile, when the user pushes the pen 195 back into the rollable display device 200-2, that is, when an input is received in which a part of the detached pen 195 is attached to the rollable display device, the control unit 180 may change the screen to be in a closed state by reducing the expanded screen again, and may receive the call of the mobile terminal of the other party.
Meanwhile, when the user pulls the pen 195, that is, when receiving an input for completely detaching the pen 195, which is partially detached, from the rollable display device 200-2, the control unit 180 may connect a telephone call with the mobile terminal of the other party and may execute the memo application as illustrated in
Meanwhile, when the user pulls the pen 195 again, that is, when an input for attaching the pen 195, which is partially attached to the rollable display device 200-2, is received so that a call is connected with the mobile terminal of the other party, the control unit 180 may output an audio received through the telephone call with the other party in a normal mode.
Meanwhile, when a user pulls the pen 195, that is, when an input for completely detaching the pen 195, which is partially detached, from the rollable display device 200-2 is received so that a call is connected with the mobile terminal of the other part, the control unit 180 may output, in a speaker mode, an audio received through the telephone call with the other party or may transmit an audio signal corresponding to the audio to an external device which outputs the audio.
As illustrated in
Meanwhile, when the screen is expanded, the control unit 180 may display one or more icons 40211 and 4022 corresponding to the application associated with the pen 195 on the expanded screen.
In this case, the application associated with the pen 195 may refer to an application that may control the operation of the application using the pen 195. For example, an application associated with the pen 195 may include a memo application allowing a user to make a memo using the pen 195, a wallpaper application of displaying one or more icons and allowing a user to select a particular icon using the pen 195, a game application allowing the user to play a game using the pen 195, and a gallery application allowing a user to edit a picture using the pen 195 or draw a new picture.
Meanwhile, based on a user operation to rotate the pen 195 in the state that one or more icons 4021 and 4022 corresponding to the application associated with the pen 195 are displayed, the control unit 180 may receive an input for selecting a specific icon of one or more icons 4021 and 4022.
More specifically, as illustrated in
Meanwhile, when the input for rotating the pen 195 in the second direction opposite to the first direction is received in the state that the second icon 4022 is highlighted, the control unit 180 may change the highlighted icon from the second icon 4022 to the first icon 4021. In other words, the control unit 180 may highlight the first icon 4021.
When an input for completely detaching the pen 195 from the rollable display device 200-2 is received in the state that a specific icon is highlighted, the control unit 180 determines an input for selecting a specific icon as being received.
Meanwhile, when one or more icons 4021 and 4022 are displayed and a specific icon is highlighted, when an input for completely detaching the pen 195 from the rollable display device 200-2 is received, the control unit 180 may display the execution image of the application corresponding to the specific icon.
For example, when the icon corresponding to the memo application is selected, the control unit 180 may display an execution image 4030 of the memo application, as illustrated in
For another example, when an icon corresponding to the wallpaper application is selected, the control unit 180 may display the execution image 4040 of the wallpaper application, as illustrated in
Meanwhile, when an input for completely detaching the pen 195 from the rollable display device 200-2 is received, the control unit 180 may execute the application corresponding to the specific icon, and may expand the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 to have the size corresponding to the size of the execution image of the executed application.
Here, the size of the screen corresponding to the size of the execution image of the executed application may include the size of the execution image of the executed application, which covers the entire portion of an image having a preset size, when the execution image of the executed application is displayed in a preset size (for example, a size allowing a user to most comfortably view the execution image).
For example, when the predetermined size of the image of the memo application is 20 cm in width and 15 cm in length, the control unit 180 may expand the screen so that the size of the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 is 20 cm in width and 15 cm in length.
For another example, when the preset size of the image of the wallpaper application is 10 cm in width and 15 cm in length, the control unit 180 expands the screen so that the size of the screen of the rollable display device 200-2 is 10 cm in width and 15 cm in length.
