To this end, a view mode change device 100 using a touch pattern input according to an example embodiment includes a touch panel 110, a pattern detector 120, and a screen controller 130.
The touch panel 110 relates to detecting a touch and corresponds to a transparent panel capable of controlling a device by directly pressing a place in which a text or a picture is displayed in combination with a cathode ray tube (CRT) or a liquid crystal display (LCD). The touch panel 110 may include an optical scheme using an infrared ray, a transparent electrode scheme using a contact point of a transparent conductive film, a capacitive scheme of detecting a change in capacitance, and a scheme of sensing a position from a distribution of force over a pressure sensor provided around a panel.
The touch panel 110 may include a display unit (not shown), and the display unit may be implemented as a display device that includes a CRT, an LCD, and the like, and may be implemented including the touch panel.
The touch panel 110 detects a touch in a mobile device of a user and displays content. The mobile device may be at least one terminal among a smartphone, a desktop personal computer (PC), a mobile terminal, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a laptop computer, and a tablet PC, and may be a device that includes a display of a touch screen type (i.e., the touch panel 110) capable of receiving information according to a selection input of an administrator and the user through an application and performing an operation of a predetermined function set through a screen that includes a touch-detection area and may be a device that includes at least one physical button or virtual button. Therefore, a type and a shape of the mobile device are not limited thereto.
The pattern detector 120 detects a first touch for a specific time duration in one area of the touch panel 110, detects a second touch for a specific time duration in another area of the touch panel 110, and detects a specific pattern according to a simultaneous movement of the first touch and the second touch. Here, the simultaneous movement represents that the first touch and the second touch are simultaneously shifted and moved by the user and may be basically performed with two fingers of the user.
The pattern detector 120 may detect the first touch and the second touch based on touch data received by the touch panel 110. Here, the first touch and the second touch may correspond to touches using two fingers of the user and may be touches by a pausing operation for a specific time duration. The first touch and the second touch refer to positions detected in one area and the other area of the touch panel 110 and a distance between the first touch and the second touch is not limited.
The pattern detector 120 may detect a double touch of the first touch and the second touch by a portion of a body of the user on the touch panel 110. For example, if the user touches a thumb and an index finger on the touch panel 110, the pattern detector 120 may detect the double touch of the first touch and the second touch by detecting the thumb of the user as the first touch and by detecting the index finger of the user as the second touch.
As described above, according to the first touch and the second touch detected as the double touch, the pattern detector 120 may detect a specific pattern based on a simultaneous movement by rotation of the first touch and the second touch that are detected being spaced apart by a predetermined distance or more within a range of the touch panel 110. In detail, the first touch and the second touch on the touch panel 110 may form the specific pattern by a movement of the user. For example, the user may form a specific pattern by positioning the first touch of the thumb and the second touch of the index finger on the touch panel 110 and then applying a simultaneous movement while rotating the first touch and the second touch in a forward direction or a reverse direction.
The pattern detector 120 may detect a specific pattern of forward rotation according to a simultaneous movement of the first touch and the second touch that move clockwise or may detect a specific pattern of reverse rotation according to a simultaneous movement of the first touch and the second touch that move counterclockwise. For example, if the user places the first touch of the thumb and the second touch of the index finger on the touch panel 110 and then simultaneously rotates the first touch and the second touch clockwise, the pattern detector 120 may detect the specific pattern of forward rotation according to the simultaneous movement that moves clockwise. Also, if the user places the first touch of the thumb and the second touch of the index finger on the touch panel 110 and then simultaneously rotates the first touch and the second touch counterclockwise, the pattern detector 120 may detect the specific pattern of reverse rotation according to the simultaneous movement that moves counterclockwise.
Here, the pattern detector 120 may detect a specific pattern according to a simultaneous movement of the first touch and the second touch generated in a central portion of the content displayed on the touch panel 110. The view mode change device 100 is based on detecting only a specific pattern generated in a central portion of the touch panel 110. The central portion may be the entire area excluding non-central portions of both sides of the touch panel 110 and thus, a width and an area thereof are not limited.
The pattern detector 120 of the view mode change device 100 according to an example embodiment may detect a specific pattern that is generated in a non-central portion of the touch panel 110. In detail, the pattern detector 120 may individually detect single touches generated in non-central portions of both sides excluding the central portion of the touch panel 110, that is, a third touch and a fourth touch, and may detect an individual movement of each of the third touch and the fourth touch. Here, the individual movement may represent that the user individually shifts and moves the third touch or the fourth touch and may be performed with a single touch alone using one finger of the user.
As one example embodiment, if the user positions the third touch that is a single touch on an upper side of a right non-central portion and shifts the third touch from an upper side to a lower side using a single finger, the pattern detector 120 may detect a specific pattern of a downward movement of the third touch.
As another example embodiment, if the user positions the fourth touch that is a single touch on a lower side of a left non-central portion and shifts the fourth touch from the lower side to the upper side using a single finger, the pattern detector 120 may detect a specific pattern of an upward movement of the fourth touch.
The screen controller 130 rotates or fixes the content displayed on the touch panel 110 by the specific pattern.
As described above, when the forward rotation that moves clockwise is detected by the pattern detector 120, the screen controller 130 may turn ON the gyro sensor in the mobile device to unlock a portrait view and horizontally rotate the content displayed on the touch panel 110. Also, when the reverse rotation that moves counterclockwise is detected by the pattern detector 120, the screen controller 130 may turn OFF the gyro sensor in the mobile device to lock the portrait view and fix the content displayed on the touch panel 110 in the portrait view.
Here, in the case of unlocking or locking the portrait view by turning ON or OFF the gyro sensor by the specific pattern, the screen controller 130 of the view mode change device 100 may provide notification information about an operation of the gyro sensor to the user through a text of “sensor ON” or “sensor OFF” on one area of the touch panel 110. Depending on example embodiments, the text may be output on one area that does not interfere with the displayed content and may be output with any one notification function among an alert sound, an alert light, and a vibration. Herein, the present invention provides the user with the aforementioned text or notification function for the operation of the gyro sensor, thereby minimizing a functional error unintended by the user. Here, without being limited to the aforementioned example, any type of emoticons, contents, or texts that notify ON or OFF of the gyro sensor may be applied as the aforementioned text.
Further, after unlocking the portrait view by turning ON the gyro sensor by forward rotation, the screen controller 130 of the view mode change device 100 according to an example embodiment may control the displayed content to be fixed to the right or to the left according to the specific pattern of the downward movement or the specific pattern of the upward movement detected by the pattern detector 120.
In the case of unlocking the portrait view by turning ON the gyro sensor, the displayed content is shifted as right full content or left full content according to a movement of the mobile device. That is, since the gyro sensor in the mobile device operates finely according to a movement of the user, there is an inconvenience in that the displayed content is changed to the right full content or the left full content according to a movement of the mobile device regardless of the intent of the user.
Therefore, when the gyro sensor is turned ON to unlock the portrait view by forward rotation according to a simultaneous movement of the first touch and the second touch, the view mode change device 100 according to an example embodiment may detect a specific pattern of a downward movement of the third touch that moves from an upper side to a lower side in a right non-central portion or a specific pattern of an upward movement of the fourth touch that moves from the lower side to the upper side in a left non-central portion and may fix the displayed content to the right or the left.
The following description is made based on an example in which the gyro sensor is turned ON to unlock the portrait view.
As an example embodiment, when the user shifts the third touch from the upper side to the lower side in the right non-central portion of the touch panel 110 using a finger of the user, the screen controller 130 may detect the specific pattern of the downward movement of the third touch and may fix, to the right, the displayed content of which the portrait view is unlocked. Here, fixing to the right may represent fixing the content in a state in which a speaker and camera portion, that is, an upper end of the mobile device is present on the left and a microphone portion, that is, a lower end of the mobile device is present on the right.
As another example embodiment, when the user shifts the fourth touch from the lower side to the upper side in the left non-central portion of the touch panel 110 using a finger of the user, the screen controller 130 may detect the specific pattern of the upward movement of the fourth touch and may fix, to the left, the displayed content of which the portrait view is unlocked. Here, fixing to the left may represent fixing the content in a state in which the speaker and camera portion, that is, the upper end of the mobile device is present on the right and the microphone portion, that is, the lower end of the mobile device is present on the left.
Here, fixing to the right or fixing to the left described herein is not limited to the aforementioned description. The view mode change device 100 according to an example embodiment may detect a specific pattern according to an individual movement of the third touch or the fourth touch and may fix the content in a single direction when the gyro sensor is turned ON.
The screen controller 130 of the view mode change device 100 according to an example embodiment may control rotation or fixation by a specific pattern only in the content displayed on the touch panel 110 through a pre-specified application.
For example, only when a video or image related application is executed, the screen controller 130 may turn ON the gyro sensor by a specific pattern to unlock the portrait view or may turn OFF the gyro sensor to lock the portrait view and may set the displayed content to be fixed to the right or to the left. Here, when an application related to a messenger or social network services/sites (SNS) is executed, the screen controller 130 may perform only a function of turning OFF the gyro sensor by the specific pattern to lock the portrait view.
That is, the view mode change device 100 according to an example embodiment may control rotation or fixation of content according to a type of application that runs in the mobile device, and when the application related to the messenger or SNS is executed, may perform only the function of turning OFF the gyro sensor to lock the portrait view.
Depending on example embodiments, an application capable of controlling rotation or fixation of content by a specific pattern may be set according to a selection input from the user and may be differently set according to a website.
In basic, the view mode change device 100 according to an example embodiment may detect a movement of the first touch and the second touch, which are detected through the pattern detector 120, that simultaneously rotate in a forward direction or a reverse direction and rotate or fix the displayed content through the screen controller 130. Here, the view mode change device 100 according to an example embodiment may perform a simple gyro sensor function, that is, a function of rotating or fixing the displayed content through various example embodiments in addition to the aforementioned method.
As a first example embodiment, when the user places two fingers on the touch panel 110 and rotates the other finger in a forward direction or a reverse direction with one finger as an axis, the view mode change device 100 according to an example embodiment may rotate or fix the displayed content by detecting the first touch and the second touch and by detecting a movement of the other touch that rotates in the forward direction or the reverse direction with one of the first touch and the second touch as an axis.
As a second example embodiment, when the user places a palm or a plurality of fingers on the touch panel 110 and then rotates the same in the forward direction or the reverse direction, the view mode change device 100 may rotate or fix the displayed content by detecting the palm or the plurality of fingers and by detecting a movement of a detected large-area touch or a plurality of touches that moves in the forward direction or the reverse direction.
As a third example embodiment, when the user touches a finger more than once on the touch panel 110, the view mode change device 100 according to an example embodiment may rotate or fix the displayed content by detecting a single touch multiple times.
As a fourth example embodiment, when the user draws a circle on the touch panel 110 with a single touch of a finger, the view mode change device 100 according to an example embodiment may rotate or fix the displayed content by detecting the single touch and by detecting a movement of the detected touch that rotates in the forward direction or the reverse direction.
As a fifth example embodiment, when the user makes a touch using the palm or the plurality of fingers on the touch panel 110 for a predetermined time duration or more, the view mode change device 100 according to an example embodiment may detect the touch using the palm or the plurality of fingers and may rotate or fix the displayed content if the detected touch is maintained for the predetermined time duration or more.
