The operation flow of the user interface control method will be described with reference to the following.
The rear detector disposed at the rear of the terminal senses the rear manipulation of the user (ST101). The rear sensing unit senses the rear manipulation of the user and provides the sensing result to the display controller. The rear sensing unit senses a button press or a touch sensor manipulation located on the rear of the terminal to provide a sensing result to the display controller when a button is pressed or touch manipulation of the touch sensor occurs.
The front touch sensing unit senses a user's screen touch by driving a touch sensor disposed on a display screen on the front of the terminal (ST102). The front touch sensing unit senses a user's screen touch with respect to a touch sensor disposed on the display screen and provides it to the display controller.
The display controller determines a touch direction based on the touch sensing result of the front touch sensor (ST103). The display controller determines a touch direction by referring to a touch start point and a touch end point, which are touch sensing results of the front touch sensor. The display controller determines whether the touch direction is from the center to the outside or from the outside to the center.
The display controller determines whether the rear manipulation of the user is detected by the rear sensing unit with reference to the sensing result of the rear sensing unit (ST104). The display controller determines whether to zoom in, zoom out, or move the screen according to whether the rear manipulation of the user is sensed or not.
In the present exemplary embodiment, when the rear touch of the user is not sensed and the screen touch of the user is sensed by the front touch sensor (ST105), the display controller moves the screen according to the direction in which the screen touch moves (ST106).
The display controller zooms in and out the screen along the touch direction when the user's screen touch is sensed by the front touch sensor while the rear touch is detected by the rear sensor.
The display controller determines whether the touch sensing result of the front touch sensing unit is from the center to the outside (ST107), and if true, zooms in the center of the screen (ST108). The display controller detects a user's rear manipulation by the rear sensing unit and determines the touch sensing result of the front touch sensing unit to zoom in the center of the screen when the starting point of the touch direction is the center and the ending point is outside.
The display controller determines whether the touch sensing result of the front touch sensor is touched from the outside to the center (ST109), and if true, zooms out based on the screen center (ST110). The display controller detects a user's rear manipulation from the rear sensing unit and determines a touch sensing result of the front touch sensing unit, and zooms out based on the center of the screen when the starting point of the touch direction is outside and the ending point is the center.
In another exemplary embodiment, the display controller may zoom in and zoom out the screen according to the touch sensing result of the front touch sensor without detecting the rear operation of the user in the rear sensor, and detect the rear operation of the user in the rear sensor and detect the front surface. The screen may be moved according to the touch sensing result of the touch sensing unit.
Although the present invention has been described in more detail with reference to the examples, the present invention is not necessarily limited to these embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are not intended to limit the technical idea of the present invention but to describe the present invention, and the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments.
