Meanwhile, the sensing unit 140 senses at least one of information in the mobile terminal, surrounding environment information surrounding the mobile terminal, and user information, and generates a corresponding sensing signal. The control unit 180 may control the driving or operation of the mobile terminal 100 or may perform data processing, function or operation related to the application program installed in the mobile terminal 100 based on the sensing signal. Representative sensors among various sensors that may be included in the sensing unit 140 will be described in more detail.

First, the proximity sensor 141 refers to a sensor that detects the presence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface, or the presence of an object in the vicinity of the detection surface, without mechanical contact by using electromagnetic force or infrared rays. The proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in the inner area of the mobile terminal or in proximity to the touch screen, which is covered by the touch screen.

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. In the case where the touch screen is electrostatic, the proximity sensor 141 can be configured to detect the proximity of the object with a change of the electric field along the proximity of the object having conductivity. In this case, the touch screen (or touch sensor) itself may be classified as a proximity sensor.

On the other hand, for convenience of explanation, the act of recognizing that the object is located on the touch screen in proximity with no object touching the touch screen is referred to as "proximity touch & The act of actually touching an object on the screen is called a "contact touch. &Quot; The position at which the object is closely touched on the touch screen means a position where the object corresponds to the touch screen vertically when the object is touched. The proximity sensor 141 can detect a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (e.g., a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, have. Meanwhile, the control unit 180 processes data (or information) corresponding to the proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern sensed through the proximity sensor 141 as described above, and further provides visual information corresponding to the processed data It can be output on the touch screen. Furthermore, the control unit 180 can control the mobile terminal 100 such that different operations or data (or information) are processed according to whether the touch to the same point on the touch screen is a proximity touch or a touch touch .

The touch sensor uses a touch (or touch input) applied to the touch screen (or the display unit 151) by using at least one of various touch methods such as a resistance film type, a capacitive type, an infrared type, an ultrasonic type, Detection.

For example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in a pressure applied to a specific portion of the touch screen or a capacitance generated in a specific portion to an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect a position, an area, a pressure at the time of touch, a capacitance at the time of touch, and the like where a touch object touching the touch screen is touched on the touch sensor. 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.

Thus, when 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. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component from the control unit 180, and may be the control unit 180 itself.

On the other hand, the control unit 180 may perform different controls or perform the same control according to the type of the touch object touching the touch screen (or a touch key provided on the touch screen). Whether to perform different controls or to perform the same control according to the type of the touch object may be determined according to the current state of the mobile terminal 100 or an application program being executed.

On the other hand, the touch sensors and the proximity sensors discussed above can be used independently or in combination to provide a short touch (touch), a long touch, a multi touch, a drag touch ), Flick touch, pinch-in touch, pinch-out touch, swipe touch, hovering touch, and the like. Touch can be sensed.

The ultrasonic sensor can recognize the position information of the object to be sensed by using ultrasonic waves. Meanwhile, the controller 180 can calculate the position of the wave generating source through the information sensed by the optical sensor and the plurality of ultrasonic sensors. The position of the wave source can be calculated using the fact that the light is much faster than the ultrasonic wave, that is, the time when the light reaches the optical sensor is much faster than the time the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. More specifically, the position of the wave generating source can be calculated using the time difference with the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the reference signal.

The camera 121 includes at least one of a camera sensor (for example, a CCD, a CMOS, etc.), a photo sensor (or an image sensor), and a laser sensor.

The camera 121 and the laser sensor may be combined with each other to sense a touch of the sensing object with respect to the three-dimensional stereoscopic image. The photosensor can be laminated to the display element, which is adapted to scan the movement of the object to be detected proximate to the touch screen.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. 5A and 5B are diagrams for explaining setting of an event and a specific condition for a predetermined application according to an embodiment of the present invention. 6 is a view for explaining display and deletion of a shortcut icon according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The method for controlling a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented in the mobile terminal 100 described with reference to FIG. Hereinafter, a method of controlling a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and an operation of the mobile terminal 100 for implementing the method will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 4, the controller 180 can confirm occurrence of an event that satisfies a specific condition with respect to a predetermined application (S100).

The application may be used as a general concept of an application program executed in the mobile terminal 100 regardless of its name.

The event and the specific condition for the application can be preset. To this end, the control unit 180 may display a screen 10 for setting the event and the specific condition, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B. The user can set (11) the application and specific conditions and events to be applied to the application on the event setting screen (10).

For example, in the first setting 12 shown in FIG. 5A, the vitamin is set as a condition and an event from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm for the medicine application confirmation application. The drug use confirmation application is an example of an application, and when executed, may be an application that indicates information about drugs to be taken by the user and the like.

The first setting 12 of FIG. 5A (a) may mean that an event called vitamin intake occurs at 10 am, which is a specific condition. The control unit 180 may display a shortcut icon of the drug use confirmation application on the touch screen 151 according to an event occurring at 10 am on the condition.

For the new second setting 13, the user can apply an input to the application selection area, as shown in Figure 5A. In this case, the control unit 180 can display various applications installed in the mobile terminal 100, as shown in (b) of FIG. When the user selects the call application 20 for which the event is to be set up, the control unit 180 sets the call application 20 in the application selection area of the second setting 13 as shown in (a) Can be displayed.

The user can apply the input to the condition selection area to set a specific condition, as shown in (a) of FIG. 5B. In this case, the control unit 180 may display the address book 14 for setting the conditions for the call application 20. [ When the user selects a specific person (Jane) to which an event is to be set, the control unit 180 sets the specific person (Jane) selected in the condition selection region of the second setting 13 as shown in (b) Can be displayed.

The user may apply an input to the event selection area to set an event, as shown in Figure 5b (b). In this case, the control unit 180 may display a configurable event 15 for setting an event for the call application 20. If the user selects the missed call as the event, the control unit 180 can display the missed call, which is the event selected in the event selection area of the second setting 13, as shown in (c) of FIG. 5 . The set event may be stored in the memory 170.

Figures 5A and 5B illustrate setting conditions and events for the call application 20. However, as an example, the list of specific conditions and events that can be set for each application may be variously set as needed. Also, according to an example, a user can create and add a list of specific conditions and events.

As described with reference to FIG. 5A, according to the first setting 12, when the 10:00 am comes, the controller 180 can confirm that a vitamin taking event corresponding to the set condition occurs.

Referring back to FIG. 4, the control unit 180 may display a shortcut icon on the touch screen 151 that can execute an application in connection with a specific condition [S110].

6 (a) shows icons a and b displayed on the touch screen 151 of the mobile terminal 100. As shown in Fig. The time displayed on the touch screen 151 is 9:28 am (T1), indicating that the event has not yet occurred. The control unit 180 may display the shortcut icon 30 of the medicine consumption confirmation application as shown in FIG. 6 (b) if the vitamin intake event is detected at the time of arrival at 10:00 am (T2).

6 (a) shows a premise that a desktop screen is displayed on the touch screen 151. FIG. The desktop may be a screen displayed first when the touch screen 151 is powered on. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the controller 180 can display the shortcut icon 30 on a screen other than the desktop screen as needed.

The control unit 180 may display a shortcut icon reflecting a specific condition or event. For example, the shortcut icon 30 shown in (b) of FIG. 6 is displayed reflecting the vitamin which is the event information. That is, when the general icon of the drug use confirmation application is only the tablet shape, the controller 180 can generate and display the shortcut icon 30 to which the event information is further added.

According to an example, the control unit 180 may display the shortcut icon 30 so as to be distinguished from other icons a and b that are displayed originally. Referring to FIG. 6 (b), the controller 180 may display the border of the shortcut icon 30 in a specific color. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any display such as a color, shape, symbol, or character that can be distinguished from the previously displayed icon of the shortcut icon 30 can be applied.

Referring back to FIG. 4, the controller 180 may receive a predetermined input for the shortcut icon 30 (S120).

The predetermined input may include at least one of selection of a shortcut icon, deletion of a shortcut icon, termination of an event, or occurrence of another specific event. If there is the predetermined input, the controller 180 may determine that the purpose of the displayed shortcut icon 30 has been performed.

For example, the user may take the vitamin and apply an input to select the shortcut icon 30. That is, the display of the shortcut icon 30 is intended to allow the user to confirm and take the vitamin while being displayed. In this case, the control unit 180 may not display the shortcut icon 30 until an event satisfying a specific condition (arriving at 10:00 am) is generated again.

Referring back to FIG. 4, the control unit 180 may delete the displayed shortcut icon 30 (S130).

For example, FIG. 5 (a) shows that the first setting 12 is set at 10 am and 1 pm under specific conditions. As shown in (c) of FIG. 6, when the control unit 180 reaches 1:00 PM (T3), it can be determined that there is an input for ending the corresponding event. Accordingly, the control unit 180 can delete the display of the shortcut icon 30 as shown in (c) of FIG.

In this way, the user can set a meaningful time for the set event so that the shortcut icon is displayed only at the corresponding time.

Referring to FIG. 6 (d), it can be seen that the time displayed on the touch screen 151 is 12:30 PM (T4), yet before 1:00 pm. According to one example, if the user selects the displayed shortcut icon 30 before the end of the event, the control unit 180 can delete the shortcut icon 30.

That is, the user can see the displayed shortcut icon 30 and recognize that they should take the vitamin. If the user takes the vitamin, the shortcut icon 30 need not be displayed until 10 am the next day. Accordingly, when the user selects the shortcut icon 30 after taking the vitamin, the control unit 180 can delete the shortcut icon 30 displayed. Thereafter, the control unit 180 may display another icon in the empty area.

Through this, the user can recognize that there is an event to be performed corresponding to the shortcut icon just by viewing the shortcut icon being displayed. In addition, it is possible to efficiently manage the icon on the desktop having the limited area through automatic display or automatic deletion of the shortcut icon.

In addition, the control unit 180 can delete the shortcut icon 30 upon receiving an input for deleting the displayed shortcut icon 30. Alternatively, the control unit 180 may be configured to delete the shortcut icon 30 when another preset event occurs. For example, if information indicating that the vitamin is harmful depending on the health condition of the user is received, the control unit 180 may delete the displayed shortcut icon 30.

Through the above description, the user can see the displayed shortcut icon and intuitively recognize the corresponding specific event. In addition, if the shortcut icon does not need to be displayed, the shortcut icon is deleted, and the area of the touch screen 151 can be effectively used.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an event setup according to a schedule of a user according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG.

Upon receiving the input to the schedule application, the control unit 180 can display the execution screen 40 of the schedule application, as shown in Fig. The user can set up events and corresponding applications (21, 22) for each schedule (41, 42). In this case, when the set time has passed, the control unit 180 determines that the condition is satisfied, and can display a shortcut icon of the corresponding application 21, 22 on the touch screen 151.

In this way, the user can change the shortcut icon displayed according to the schedule, thereby facilitating easy icon management.

8 is a diagram for explaining execution of an application and deletion of a shortcut icon through a shortcut icon according to an embodiment of the present invention. When receiving the predetermined input, the control unit 180 can execute the application in association with the set specific condition.

Referring again to FIG. 5 (b), the second setting 13 is set to display a shortcut icon when a missed call is received from a particular person Jane for the call application 20. When the missed call is turned on from the specific person Jane, the control unit 180 can display the shortcut icon 31 of the call application 20 as shown in FIG. 8 (a). In this case, the control unit 180 may display a name on the shortcut icon 31, reflecting the absence of a call from a specific person (Jane) that is a set condition.

8A shows that the number 1 is displayed at the upper right corner of the fixedly displayed call icon 1. In FIG. This means that one missed call came. According to an example, the control unit 180 may display the number of missed calls from the specific person (Jane) on the shortcut icon 31. [

When a user tries to make a call to the specific person, a call icon (1) is conventionally selected and information on the specific person (Jane) should be selected in the executed call application. However, according to the present invention, when the user selects the shortcut icon 31 as shown in FIG. 8B, the control unit 180 can directly establish a call connection to the specific person Jane. FIG. 8 (c) shows a screen for connection to the specific person (Jane).

If the shortcut icon 31 selected in FIG. 8 (b) is selected or the call connection is performed according to the selection, the control unit 180 determines that the purpose of notifying the missed call from the specific person (Jane) can do. Therefore, the control unit 180 can delete the display of the shortcut icon 31 as shown in (d) of FIG.

In the above description, the shortcut icon 31 is selected to execute the direct call connection function for the specific person (Jane) of the call application. For example, when the shortcut icon corresponding to another application is selected, the control unit 180 can immediately execute a specific function reflecting the specific condition or event of the corresponding application. Also, in this case, the control unit 180 can delete the selected shortcut icon.

Through this, the user can execute a specific function of the application reflecting the specific condition or event by selecting the shortcut icon.

9 is a view for explaining an alarm output upon displaying and deleting a shortcut icon according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The control unit 180 may generate an alarm when the shortcut icon is displayed or deleted. As described with reference to FIG. 5 (a), according to the first setting 12, when the time reaches 10:00 am, the control unit 180 can display the shortcut icon 30. In this case, the controller 180 may output a vibration through the haptic module 153 as an alarm to inform that the shortcut icon 30 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 9A.

In addition, when 1:00 pm is reached, the control unit 180 can delete the displayed shortcut icon 30. In this case, the controller 180 may output an alarm sound through the sound output unit 152 to notify that the shortcut icon 30 is deleted, as shown in FIG. 9 (b).

The alarm is displayed when the shortcut icon 30 is displayed and the sound is displayed when the shortcut icon 30 is displayed. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Whether or not an alarm is applied can be preset as necessary. Although the above-described alarm describes the output of vibration or sound, it is not limited thereto. The alarm can be applied to any type of alarm, as long as it can inform the user of the display or deletion of the shortcut icon 30.

10 and 11 are views for explaining deletion of a shortcut icon according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 10, the controller 180 may delete the shortcut icon 30 upon receiving an input to the specific area 30_1 of the shortcut icon 30.
