When the mobile terminal 100 is in the video communication mode or the photographing mode, the display unit 151 displays the photographed and / or received video or UI and GUI.

The display unit 151 may be a liquid crystal display (LCD), a thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a flexible display display, a 3D display, and an e-ink display.

Some of these displays may be transparent or light transmissive so that they can be seen through. This can be referred to as a transparent display, and a typical example of the transparent display is TOLED (Transparent OLED) and the like. The rear structure of the display unit 151 may also be of a light transmission type. With this structure, the user can see the object located behind the terminal body through the area occupied by the display unit 151 of the terminal body.

There may be two or more display units 151 according to the embodiment of the mobile terminal 100. For example, in the mobile terminal 100, a plurality of display portions may be spaced apart from one another or may be disposed integrally with each other, or may be disposed on different surfaces.

Also, the display unit 151 may be configured as a stereoscopic display unit 152 for displaying a stereoscopic image.

Here, a stereoscopic image represents a 3-dimensional stereoscopic image, and a 3-dimensional stereoscopic image represents a progressive depth and reality in which objects are located on a monitor or a screen, It is an image that makes you feel the same as the space. 3D stereoscopic images are implemented using binocular disparity. The binocular parallax means a parallax caused by the position of two eyes away from each other. When two eyes see two different images and the images are transmitted to the brain through the retina and fused, the depth and real feeling of the stereoscopic image can be felt .

The stereoscopic display unit 152 may be applied to a three-dimensional display system such as a stereoscopic system (glasses system), an autostereoscopic system (no-glasses system), and a projection system (holographic system). The stereoscopic method, which is widely used in home television receivers, includes a Wheatstone stereoscopic method.

Examples of the autostereoscopic method include a parallax barrier method, a lenticular method, an integral imaging method, and a switchable lens method. The projection method includes a reflection type holographic method and a transmission type holographic method.

Generally, 3D stereoscopic images consist of left image (left eye image) and right image (right eye image).

In addition, the 3D thumbnail image can generate a left image thumbnail and a right image thumbnail from the left image and right image of the original image frame, respectively, and combine them to generate one 3D thumbnail image. In general, a thumbnail means a reduced image or a reduced still image. The left image thumbnail and the right image thumbnail generated in this way are displayed on the screen with a difference of the left and right distance by the depth corresponding to the parallax between the left image and the right image, thereby exhibiting a stereoscopic spatial feeling.

The left and right images necessary for realizing the three-dimensional stereoscopic image can be displayed on the stereoscopic display unit 152 by a stereoscopic processing unit (not shown). The stereoscopic processing unit receives a 3D image and extracts a left image and a right image from the 3D image, or receives a 2D image and converts it into a left image and a right image.

On the other hand, when a display unit 151 and a sensor (hereinafter, referred to as 'touch sensor') that detects a touch operation form a mutual layer structure (hereinafter referred to as a 'touch screen' It can also be used as an input device in addition to the device. The touch sensor may have the form of, for example, a touch film, a touch sheet, a touch pad, or the like.

The touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in a pressure applied to a specific portion of the display unit 151 or a capacitance generated in a specific portion of the display unit 151 into an electrical input signal. The touch sensor can be configured to detect not only the position and area where the touch object is touched on the touch sensor but also the pressure at the time of touch. Here, the touch object may be a finger, a touch pen, a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like as an object to which a touch is applied to the touch sensor.

If there is a touch input to the touch sensor, the corresponding signal (s) is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal (s) and transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. Thus, the control unit 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched or the like.

Referring to FIG. 1, a proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in an inner region of the mobile terminal or in the vicinity of the touch screen, which is surrounded by the touch screen. The proximity sensor 141 may be provided as an example of the sensing unit 140. The proximity sensor 141 refers to a sensor that detects the presence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface or an object existing in the vicinity of the detection surface without mechanical contact using an electromagnetic force or an infrared ray. The proximity sensor 141 has a longer life than the contact type sensor and its utilization is also high.

Examples of the proximity sensor 141 include a transmission type photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection type photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection type photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation type proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor. When the touch screen is electrostatic, it is configured to detect the proximity of the pointer by a change of the electric field along the proximity of an object having conductivity (hereinafter, referred to as a pointer). In this case, the touch screen (touch sensor) may be classified as a proximity sensor.

Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the act of recognizing that the pointer is positioned on the touch screen while the pointer is not in contact with the touch screen is referred to as "proximity touch & The act of actually touching the pointer on the screen is called "contact touch. &Quot; The position where the pointer is proximately touched on the touch screen means a position where the pointer is vertically corresponding to the touch screen when the pointer is touched.

The proximity sensor 141 detects a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (for example, a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, a proximity touch movement state, and the like). Information corresponding to the detected proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern may be output on the touch screen.

In the case where the three-dimensional display unit 152 and the touch sensor have a mutual layer structure (hereinafter referred to as a 'three-dimensional touch screen') or a three-dimensional sensor that detects the touch operation and the stereoscopic display unit 152 are combined with each other The stereoscopic display unit 152 may also be used as a three-dimensional input device.

The sensing unit 140 may include a proximity sensor 141, a three-dimensional touch sensing unit 142, an ultrasonic sensing unit 143, and a camera sensing unit 144 as an example of the three-dimensional sensor.

The proximity sensor 141 measures the distance between the sensing surface (for example, a user's finger or a stylus pen) to which the touch is applied without mechanical contact using the force of the electromagnetic field or infrared rays. The terminal recognizes which part of the stereoscopic image has been touched using the distance. In particular, when the touch screen is of the electrostatic type, the proximity of the sensing object is detected by a change of the electric field according to the proximity of the sensing object, and the touch on the three-dimensional is recognized using the proximity.

The stereoscopic touch sensing unit 142 senses the strength or duration of a touch applied to the touch screen. For example, the three-dimensional touch sensing unit 142 senses a pressure to apply a touch, and when the pressing force is strong, recognizes the touch as a touch to an object located further away from the touch screen toward the inside of the terminal.

The ultrasonic sensing unit 143 is configured to recognize the position information of the sensing target using ultrasonic waves.

The ultrasound sensing unit 143 may include, for example, an optical sensor and a plurality of ultrasound sensors. The light sensor is configured to sense light, and the ultrasonic sensor is configured to sense ultrasonic waves. Since light is much faster than ultrasonic waves, the time it takes for light to reach the optical sensor is much faster than the time it takes for the ultrasonic waves to reach the ultrasonic sensor. Therefore, it is possible to calculate the position of the wave generating source using the time difference with the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the reference signal.

The camera sensing unit 144 includes at least one of a camera 121, a photo sensor, and a laser sensor.

For example, the camera 121 and the laser sensor are combined with each other to sense a touch of a sensing target with respect to a three-dimensional stereoscopic image. When the distance information detected by the laser sensor is added to the two-dimensional image photographed by the camera, three-dimensional information can be obtained.

As another example, a photosensor may be stacked on a display element. The photosensor is configured to scan the movement of the object proximate to the touch screen. More specifically, the photosensor mounts photo diodes and TRs (Transistors) in a row / column and scans the contents loaded on the photosensor using an electrical signal that varies according to the amount of light applied to the photo diode. That is, the photo sensor performs coordinate calculation of the object to be sensed according to the amount of light change, thereby acquiring position information of the object to be sensed.

The audio output module 153 can output audio data received from the wireless communication unit 110 or stored in the memory 160 in a call signal reception mode, a call mode or a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, The sound output module 153 also outputs sound signals related to functions (e.g., call signal reception sound, message reception sound, etc.) performed in the mobile terminal 100. [ The sound output module 153 may include a receiver, a speaker, a buzzer, and the like.

The alarm unit 154 outputs a signal for notifying the occurrence of an event of the mobile terminal 100. Examples of events generated in the mobile terminal 100 include call signal reception, message reception, key signal input, touch input, and the like. The alarm unit 154 may output a signal for notifying the occurrence of an event by using a form other than the video signal or the audio signal, for example, vibration. The video signal or the audio signal may be output through the display unit 151 or the sound output module 153 so that the display unit 151 and the sound output module 153 may be classified as a part of the alarm unit 154 .

The haptic module 155 generates various tactile effects that the user can feel. A typical example of the haptic effect generated by the haptic module 155 may be vibration. The intensity and pattern of the vibration generated by the hit module 155 can be controlled by the user's selection or setting of the control unit. For example, the haptic module 155 may combine and output different vibrations or sequentially output the vibrations.

At this time, the mobile terminal 100 is connecting a call, transmitting or receiving a message, or performing another communication operation. Each of the reverse link signals received by the particular base station 270 is processed by the particular base station 270. The data resulting from the processing is transmitted to the connected BSC 275. The BSC 275 provides call resource allocation and mobility management functions, including the organization of soft handoffs between the base stations 270. BSCs 275 also transmit the received data to MSC 280 and MSC 280 provides additional transport services for connection with PSTN 290. [ Similarly, the PSTN 290 is connected to the MSC 280, the MSC 280 is connected to the BSCs 275, and the BSCs 275 are connected to the BS 100 so that the forward link signal is transmitted to the mobile terminal 100 270 can be controlled.

Next, a method of acquiring location information of a mobile terminal using a WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) Positioning System (WPS) will be described with reference to FIG. 2B.

A WiFi Positioning System (WPS) 300 uses a WiFi module included in the mobile terminal 100 and a wireless access point 320 transmitting or receiving a wireless signal with the WiFi module, Is a technology for tracking the position of the terminal 100, and refers to a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) based positioning technology using WiFi.

The WiFi location tracking system 300 includes a Wi-Fi location server 310, a mobile terminal 100, a wireless AP 330 connected to the mobile terminal 100, and a database 330 in which certain wireless AP information is stored .

The WiFi location server 310 extracts information of the wireless AP 320 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 320 connected to the mobile terminal 100 may be transmitted to the Wi-Fi position server 310 through the mobile terminal 100 or may be transmitted from the wireless AP 320 to the Wi- Lt; / RTI >

SSID, RSSI, channel information, Privacy, Network Type, Signal Strength, and Noise Strength based on the location information request message of the mobile terminal 100, Lt; / RTI >

The WiFi location server 310 receives the information of the wireless AP 320 connected to the mobile terminal 100 and transmits the information included in the built-in database 330 and the received wireless AP 320, And extracts (or analyzes) the location information of the mobile terminal 100 by comparing the information.

In FIG. 2B, the wireless APs connected to the mobile terminal 100 are illustrated as first, second, and third wireless APs 320 as an example. However, the number of wireless APs connected to the mobile terminal 100 can be variously changed according to the wireless communication environment in which the mobile terminal 100 is located. The WiFi location tracking system 300 is capable of tracking the location of the mobile terminal 100 when the mobile terminal 100 is connected to at least one wireless AP.

Next, the database 330 may store various information of arbitrary wireless APs located at different locations, as will be described in more detail with respect to a database 330 in which arbitrary wireless AP information is stored.

The information of any wireless APs stored in the database 300 includes at least one of MAC address, SSID, RSSI, channel information, privacy, network type, radar coordinate of the wireless AP, (Available in GPS coordinates), address of the AP owner, telephone number, and the like.

The extracted location information of the mobile terminal 100 is transmitted to the mobile terminal 100 through the Wi-Fi location server 310 so that the mobile terminal 100 can acquire the location information.

The present invention is applied to a glasses type (glass type) mobile terminal, which is a kind of wearable device. The glasses include monocular or binocular. In the eyeglass type mobile terminal, the glass (lens) is used as the display unit 151 and the user input unit 130, and a touch sensor is built in the eyeglass frame to receive the user's touch input. In addition, a camera 121 is mounted on one side of an eyeglass frame that surrounds the lens, so that the surrounding environment can be photographed according to a user's touch input through the eyeglass frame. The other configuration is the same as that of the mobile terminal of FIG. 1, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The present invention relates to a method for automatically switching to a preset mode or notifying a to-do list through a pair of glasses when a stored image is recognized after storing an image of a place (routine spot) that the user always goes to a routine . The image and the representative location (PGS log) are applied to the mode setting in a separate or combined form.

The routine spot may include a company, an elevator, a porch, a porch, a subway station, a bus stop, a conference room, and the like, and includes both individual objects and object combinations.

The default setting mode is set corresponding to the photographed image as a mode set and registered by the user in the setting menu of the mobile terminal. The default setting mode includes a mode (e.g., desk mode, elevator mode) that the user has set and registered arbitrarily as well as a mode (e.g., vibration mode, Wi-Fi on mode and others) The setting mode may include at least one or more options.

FIG. 3 illustrates a concept in which a user sets an arbitrary mode using an image of a routine spot according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the user moves from the initial position (Gasan-dong) to the restaurant, and then touches the spectacle frame to capture the inside of the restaurant. The captured image is stored in memory 160 as a representative location (GPS log).

When the user visits the restaurant more than a predetermined time, the controller 180 displays a message asking whether to set the mode on the spectacle lens. When the user selects the mode setting, the controller 180 switches to the mode setting menu. At this time, whether to set the mode can be set by touching the spectacle frame. For example, the control unit 180 recognizes that the right side of the eyeglass frame is touched, and the left side touches the eyeglass frame.

The mode setting menu includes various modes other than the basic modes of the mobile terminal. After selecting the other mode, the user sets the mode arbitrarily by inputting "compounding mode". The addition driving mode may include at least one option set by the user. The option includes at least one of a To do list that the user wants to see (e.g., menu) and / or execute (e.g., application) in the place.

Therefore, when the user comes back to the restaurant after setting the adding operation mode, the controller 180 automatically switches to the adding operation mode by referring to the stored GPS log.

The mode described in FIG. 3 is one embodiment, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The user can set a desired mode immediately after photographing the inside of the restaurant.

Fig. 4 is a first embodiment for automatically changing the mode according to peripheral recognition.

As shown in FIG. 4, the user sets a room mode by photographing and registering a door (a door or a front door) 50 of the house through glasses. At this time, the user can select the time zone and register the word as an option of the room mode according to the time. For example, from 7:00 am to 8:00 am, employee ID, yoghurt, and mobile phone can be registered, and night 10:00 to 11:00 can register the door.

When the user wearing the glasses-type terminal is in front of the door 50 in the state where the room mode is set, the controller 180 compares the image currently viewed through the glasses with the registered image stored in the memory 160.

If the comparison result indicates that the images match or the degree of similarity is high, the control unit 180 automatically switches to the door mode and displays an option set in the corresponding visiting mode, for example, water interrupting / disarming / employee / cell phone / purse. That is, if the user wears a glasses-type terminal and goes near the door 50, he / she recommends a word set at the current time. The similarity degree is set in advance.

5 is a second embodiment for automatically changing the mode according to the peripheral recognition.

The user can set the mode based on the image and location. This mode setting is applied when the same object exists in a plurality of places.

The user can set the elevator mode by photographing the elevator 60 or by setting the elevator mode by dividing the elevator mode.

Accordingly, when the user stands in front of the elevator 60, the control unit 180 automatically switches to the elevator mode, and executes the application (To do App) specified by the user while riding the elevator 60.

In addition, the present invention can set the desk mode so that when the user sits at his or her office, the terminal automatically switches to the vibration mode or the Wi-Fi on mode (changed to the profile designated by the user).

6 is a flowchart of a mode change method of the eyeglass-type mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention that automatically displays information related to a routine action of a user.

When the user accumulates a predetermined number of times of commuting at a predetermined place, for example, a specific stop or subway station based on the location information, the control unit 180 automatically registers the place as a routine spot (routine spot) S100), the user is confirmed whether or not the mode is set. The routine spot is stored as a GPS value as a cannon position. The user sets a desired mode for the routine spot, and selects an option (information) to be provided to the user in the corresponding mode (S110).

After the user's location is detected and the user approaches the pre-registered routine spot, the controller 180 operates the camera to repeatedly photograph the image of the routine spot, and stores only the unchanged portion as a place image (identification image) in the memory 160 (S120).

When accessing the routine spot, the controller 180 scans the camera image on the user's gaze based on the GPS value, and compares the camera image with the registered location image (S130 to S150). If the two images are identical, the control unit 180 displays the association information of the routine spot on the glass (S160). If not, the process returns to the step S130. Here, the fact that two images are identical means that there is more than a predetermined rate of similarity.

The present invention can optimize the display time of the association information of the routine spot through LOG recording and analysis.

That is, when a stop or a subway station is registered as a routine spot, the user takes an extended shot of the route to the routine spot and registers a duplicate image.

Accordingly, the controller 180 compares the pre-registered redundant image with the image of the places where the user's gaze is frequent while the user is moving to the routine spot, and determines whether the current user is moving to the routine, that is, the routine spot. As a result of the determination, when the controller 180 recognizes that it is moving to the current routine spot, the controller 180 displays relevant information of the routine spot, for example, a bus timetable, a subway operation time, have. The bus timetable is displayed 10 minutes before the stop.

Figure 7 shows the identification of the routine spot and the registration of the extended image.

7, when the user rides the bus at 8:00 for three consecutive days, the control unit 180 confirms whether or not the mode is registered to the user, and when the user sets the stop mode, And the image of the identification is photographed and registered. Therefore, on the fourth day when the user approaches the stop, the image of the stop is photographed and compared with the registered identification image. If the two images are the same, the stop related information is displayed on the glass. In the same way, the present invention can extend the identification image and provide the user with necessary information according to the stopping access distance (time). That is, in FIG. 7, the information on the fourth day is displayed five minutes before the arrival of the stop (10m), the additional information 1 + related information is displayed seven minutes before the arrival of the stop on the fifth day, , The additional information 1,2 + related information can be displayed 10 minutes before the stop (20m).

Figures 8 and 9 show an embodiment that automatically shows information associated with a routine action of the user.

As shown in Fig. 8, when a user approaches the subway while the specific subway station "Guro Digital Complex" is registered as a routine spot, the subway timetable is automatically displayed on the glass. For example, information such as Arriving at Daelim, 3 minutes, 6 minutes, 1 minute, 4 minutes after arrival is displayed. The above information is public information and is displayed via Wifi or a data network. That is, based on the subway arrival time of the "subway route map app" stored in the goggle type terminal, when the vicinity of the subway is recognized through the GPS and the situation recognition system, the subway arrival time at the corresponding station is displayed on the glass.

Then, as shown in Fig. 9, when the user approaches the stop at the state where the specific stop "E-Mart" is registered as the routine spot, the bus timetable is automatically displayed on the glass. For example, information such as 5536 2 minutes 30 seconds arrival and 5616 6 minutes arrival is displayed.

In addition, the present invention registers an image of a frequent viewer as an identification image as well as a place, and when the registered person is seen, information related to the user, for example, a friend who uses the same SNS, . In other words, the app and the information specified by the user are displayed together.

As described above, according to the present invention, when an image of a place (routine spot) to be routinely registered by the user is registered and the user approaches the place, the user automatically switches to a predetermined mode or performs a To do list on the glass It is possible to provide convenience to the user by displaying it.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the above-described method can be implemented as a computer-readable code on a medium on which a program is recorded. The computer readable medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored.
