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 or absence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface or an object present in the vicinity without using a mechanical contact by using an electromagnetic force or infrared rays. The proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in an inner region of the mobile terminal covered by the touch screen described above or near the touch screen.

Examples of the proximity sensor 141 include a transmission photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor. In the case where the touch screen is capacitive, the proximity sensor 141 may be configured to detect the proximity of the object by the change of the electric field according to the proximity of the conductive object. 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 action of being approached without contacting the object on the touch screen to recognize that the object is located on the touch screen is called proximity touch (proximity touch), and on the touch screen The act of actually touching an object is called a contact touch. The position at which the object is in close proximity touch on the touch screen means a position where the object is perpendicular to the touch screen when the object is in close proximity touch. The proximity sensor 141 may detect 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, and a proximity touch movement state). have. Meanwhile, the controller 180 processes data (or information) corresponding to the proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern detected 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. Further, the controller 180 may control the mobile terminal 100 to process different operations or data (or information) according to whether the touch on the same point on the touch screen is a proximity touch or a touch touch. .

The touch sensor applies a touch (or touch input) applied to the touch screen (or the display unit 151) using at least one of various touch methods such as a resistive film method, a capacitive method, an infrared method, an ultrasonic method, and a magnetic field method. Detect.

As an example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in pressure applied to a specific portion of the touch screen or capacitance generated at the specific portion into an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect a position, an area, a pressure at the touch, a capacitance at the touch, and the like, when the touch object applying the touch on the touch screen is touched on the touch sensor. Here, the touch object is an object applying a touch to the touch sensor and may be, for example, a finger, a touch pen or a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like.

As such, 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 then transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. As a result, the controller 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component from the controller 180 or may be the controller 180 itself.

Meanwhile, the controller 180 may perform different control or perform the same control according to the type of touch object that touches the touch screen (or a touch key provided in addition to the touch screen). Whether to perform different control or the same control according to the type of touch object may be determined according to the operation state of the mobile terminal 100 or an application program being executed.

The ultrasonic sensor may recognize location information of a sensing object using ultrasonic waves. On the other hand, the controller 180 can calculate the position of the wave generation source through the information detected from the optical sensor and the plurality of ultrasonic sensors. The position of the wave source can be calculated using the property that the light is much faster than the ultrasonic wave, that is, the time that the light reaches the optical sensor is much faster than the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. More specifically, the position of the wave generation source may be calculated using a time difference from the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the light as the reference signal.

On the other hand, the camera 121, which has been described as the configuration of the input unit 120, includes at least one of a camera sensor (eg, CCD, CMOS, etc.), a photo sensor (or image sensor), and a laser sensor.

The camera 121 and the laser sensor may be combined with each other to detect a touch of a sensing object with respect to a 3D stereoscopic image. The photo sensor may be stacked on the display element, which is configured to scan the movement of the sensing object in proximity to the touch screen. More specifically, the photo sensor mounts a photo diode and a transistor (TR) in a row / column and scans contents mounted on the photo sensor by using an electrical signal that varies according to the amount of light applied to the photo diode. That is, the photo sensor calculates coordinates of the sensing object according to the amount of light change, and thus, the position information of the sensing object can be obtained.

The display unit 151 displays (outputs) information processed by the mobile terminal 100. For example, the display unit 151 may display execution screen information of an application program driven in the mobile terminal 100 or user interface (UI) and graphical user interface (GUI) information according to the execution screen information. .

In addition, the 3D thumbnail image may generate a left image thumbnail and a right image thumbnail from the left image and the right image of the original image frame, respectively, and may be generated as one image as they are combined. In general, a thumbnail refers to a reduced image or a reduced still image. The left image thumbnail and the right image thumbnail generated as described above are displayed with a left and right distance difference on the screen by a depth corresponding to the parallax of the left image and the right image, thereby representing a three-dimensional space.

The left image and the right image necessary for implementing the 3D stereoscopic image may be displayed on the stereoscopic display by the stereoscopic processing unit. The stereoscopic processing unit receives 3D images (images of the base view and images of the extended view) and sets left and right images therefrom, or receives 2D images and converts them into left and right images.

For example, a radio interface that can be used by a communication system includes frequency division multiple access (FDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), and code division multiple access (CDMA). ), Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS) (especially Long Term Evolution (LTE), Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A)), Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), etc. This may be included.

Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the description will be limited to CDMA. However, it is apparent that the present invention can be applied to any communication system including an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communication system as well as a CDMA wireless communication system.

The CDMA wireless communication system includes at least one terminal 100, at least one base station (Base Station, BS (also referred to as Node B or Evolved Node B)), and at least one Base Station Controllers (BSCs). ), And may include a mobile switching center (MSC). The MSC is configured to connect with the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and BSCs. The BSCs may be connected to the BS through a backhaul line. The backhaul line may be provided according to at least one of E1 / T1, ATM, IP, PPP, Frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL, or xDSL. Thus, a plurality of BSCs can be included in a CDMA wireless communication system.

Each of the plurality of BSs may include at least one sector, and each sector may include an omnidirectional antenna or an antenna pointing in a radial direction from the BS. In addition, each sector may include two or more antennas of various types. Each BS may be configured to support a plurality of frequency assignments, and the plurality of frequency assignments may each have a specific spectrum (eg, 1.25 MHz, 5 MHz, etc.).

The intersection of sectors and frequency assignments may be called a CDMA channel. BSs may be called Base Station Transceiver Subsystems (BTSs). The base station may also indicate a cell site. Or, each of the plurality of sectors for a particular BS may be called a plurality of cell sites.

The broadcast transmitter (BT) transmits a broadcast signal to the terminals 100 operating in the system. The broadcast receiving module 111 illustrated in FIG. 1A is provided in the terminal 100 to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by BT.

In addition, a satellite positioning system (Global Positioning System, GPS) for identifying the position of the mobile terminal 100 may be linked to the CDMA wireless communication system. The satellite 300 helps to locate the mobile terminal 100. Useful location information may be obtained by up to two or more satellites. Here, the location of the mobile terminal 100 may be tracked using all the technologies capable of tracking the location as well as the GPS tracking technology. In addition, at least one of the GPS satellites may optionally or additionally be responsible for satellite DMB transmission.

The location information module 115 provided in the mobile terminal is used to detect, calculate, or identify the location of the mobile terminal. Examples of the location information module 115 may include a Global Position System (GPS) module and a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) module. If necessary, the location information module 115 may perform any function of other modules of the wireless communication unit 110 to substitute or additionally obtain data regarding the location of the mobile terminal.

The GPS module 115 calculates distance information and accurate time information away from three or more satellites, and then triangulates the calculated information to accurately calculate three-dimensional current position information according to latitude, longitude, and altitude. can do. Currently, a method of calculating position and time information using three satellites and correcting the error of the calculated position and time information using another satellite is widely used. In addition, the GPS module 115 may calculate speed information by continuously calculating the current position in real time. However, it is difficult to accurately measure the position of the mobile terminal using the GPS module in the shadowed area of the satellite signal such as indoors. Accordingly, in order to compensate for GPS positioning, a WPS (WiFi Positioning System) may be utilized.

The Wi-Fi Positioning System (WPS) uses a WiFi module provided in the mobile terminal 100 and a wireless access point (AP) for transmitting or receiving a wireless signal with the WiFi module. As a technology for tracking the location of a, it refers to a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) based location positioning technology using WiFi.

The Wi-Fi location tracking system may include a Wi-Fi location server, a mobile terminal 100, a wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100, and a database in which any wireless AP information is stored.

The mobile terminal 100 connected to the wireless AP may transmit a location information request message to the Wi-Fi location server.

The Wi-Fi positioning 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. Information of the wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100 may be transmitted to the Wi-Fi positioning server through the mobile terminal 100, or may be transmitted from the wireless AP to the Wi-Fi positioning server.

Based on the location information request message of the mobile terminal 100, the extracted information of the wireless AP is MAC Address, Service Set IDentification (SSID), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), RSRQ ( It may be at least one of Reference Signal Received Quality, Channel Information, Privacy, Network Type, Signal Strength, and Noise Strength.

As described above, the Wi-Fi location server receives the information of the wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100, and extracts the wireless AP information corresponding to the wireless AP to which the mobile terminal is connected from a pre-established database. At this time, the information of any wireless AP stored in the database is MAC address, SSID, channel information, Privacy, Network Type, latitude and longitude coordinates of the wireless AP, building name, floor number, indoor detailed location information (GPS coordinates) Available), the AP owner's address, telephone number, and the like. In this case, in order to remove the wireless AP provided by the mobile AP or the illegal MAC address in the positioning process in the positioning process, the Wi-Fi positioning server may extract only a predetermined number of wireless AP information in the order of high RSSI.

Thereafter, the Wi-Fi location server may extract (or analyze) location information of the mobile terminal 100 using at least one piece of wireless AP information extracted from a database. The location information of the mobile terminal 100 is extracted (or analyzed) by comparing the included information with the received wireless AP information.

As a method for extracting (or analyzing) the location information of the mobile terminal 100, a cell-ID method, a finger print method, a triangulation method, a landmark method, or the like may be utilized.

The Cell-ID method is a method of determining the location of a mobile AP having the strongest signal strength among neighboring wireless AP information collected by the mobile terminal. The simple implementation, no additional cost, and quick location information can be obtained. However, the low installation density of the wireless AP reduces the positioning accuracy.

The fingerprint method is a method of selecting a reference location in a service area, collecting signal strength information, and estimating a location based on signal strength information transmitted from a mobile terminal based on the collected information. In order to use the fingerprint method, it is necessary to database propagation characteristics in advance.

The triangulation method calculates the position of the mobile terminal based on the coordinates of at least three wireless APs and the distance between the mobile terminals. In order to measure the distance between the mobile terminal and the wireless AP, the signal strength is converted into distance information, a time of arrival of a radio signal (ToA), a time difference of transmission of a signal (Time Difference of Arrival, TDoA) , Angle of signal transmission (Angle of Arrival, AoA) may be used.

The landmark method is a method of measuring the location of a mobile terminal using a landmark transmitter that knows the location.

In addition to the methods listed, various algorithms may be utilized as a method for extracting (or analyzing) location information of a mobile terminal.

The extracted location information of the mobile terminal 100 is transmitted to the mobile terminal 100 through the Wi-Fi positioning server, the mobile terminal 100 can obtain the location information.

The mobile terminal 100 may obtain location information by being connected to at least one wireless AP. In this case, the number of wireless APs required to obtain location information of the mobile terminal 100 may be variously changed according to a wireless communication environment in which the mobile terminal 100 is located.

As described above with reference to FIG. 1A, a mobile terminal according to the present invention includes Bluetooth ( ^TM ), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Infrared Data Association (IrDA), Ultra Wideband (UWB), ZigBee, and NFC (Near). Short-range communication technologies such as field communication and wireless universal serial bus (USB) may be applied.

Among these, the NFC module provided in the mobile terminal supports contactless short-range wireless communication between terminals at a distance of about 10 cm. The NFC module may operate in any one of a card mode, a reader mode, and a P2P mode. In order for the NFC module to operate in a card mode, the mobile terminal 100 may further include a security module for storing card information. Here, the security module may be a physical medium such as a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) (for example, a subscriber identification module (SIM) or a universal SIM (USIM)), a secure micro SD, and a sticker, or a logical medium embedded in a mobile terminal ( For example, it may be an embedded SE (Secure Element). Data exchange based on a single wire protocol (SWP) may be performed between the NFC module and the security module.

When the NFC module is operated in the card mode, the mobile terminal can transmit the stored card information to the outside like a conventional IC card. Specifically, when the mobile terminal storing the card information of the payment card such as a credit card or bus card is close to the toll payment machine, the mobile short-range payment can be processed, and the mobile terminal storing the card information of the access card is approved for access. Close to the flag, the approval process can be started. Cards such as credit cards, transportation cards, and access cards are mounted in a security module in the form of an applet, and the security module may store card information about the mounted card. Here, the card information of the payment card may be at least one of a card number, balance, and usage history, and the card information of the access card may include at least one of a user's name, number (eg, student's student number or company number), and access history. It can be one.

When the NFC module is operated in the reader mode, the mobile terminal can read data from an external tag. In this case, the data received by the mobile terminal from the tag may be coded in a data exchange format (NFC Data Exchange Format) determined by the NFC forum. In addition, the NFC Forum defines four record types. Specifically, the NFC forum defines four record type definitions (RTDs) such as smart poster, text, uniform resource identifier (URI), and general control. If the data received from the tag is a smart poster type, the controller may execute a browser (eg, an Internet browser). If the data received from the tag is a text type, the controller may execute a text viewer. When the data received from the tag is a URI type, the controller executes a browser or makes a phone call, and when the data received from the tag is a general control type, the controller can execute an appropriate operation according to the control content.

When the NFC module is operated in a peer-to-peer mode, the mobile terminal may perform P2P communication with another mobile terminal. In this case, LLCP (Logical Link Control Protocol) may be applied to P2P communication. A connection may be created between the mobile terminal and another mobile terminal for P2P communication. In this case, the generated connection may be classified into a connectionless mode in which one packet is exchanged and terminated, and a connection-oriented mode in which packets are continuously exchanged. Through P2P communication, data such as electronic business cards, contact information, digital photos, URLs, and setup parameters for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections can be exchanged. However, since the available distance of NFC communication is short, the P2P mode may be effectively used for exchanging small data.

Hereinafter, embodiments related to a control method that can be implemented in the mobile terminal configured as described above will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential features of the present invention.

In addition, embodiments of the present invention will be described taking the case where the mobile terminal is the mobile terminal 100 of FIGS. 1A to 1C as an example, but according to the embodiment, the mobile terminal 200 of FIG. 2 and the mobile terminal of FIG. 300 and the mobile terminal 400 of FIG. 4.

Hereinafter, examples of a method for setting and releasing interaction constraints of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 21.

5 is a block diagram illustrating some components of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a controller 180, a display unit 151, a memory 170, and an input unit 120.

Here, the memory 170 may store the application 171. Although only one application 171 is illustrated in FIG. 5 for convenience, a plurality of applications may be stored in the memory 170. The application 171 may be a native application installed at the time of shipment of the mobile terminal 100 or an OS / firmware upgrade, or may be an application downloaded and installed separately from an external server by a user of the mobile terminal 100.

In addition, the memory 170 may include a first user input for restricting an interaction, a second user input for canceling an interaction, a creation date of the content, an interaction allowable content item list 172, and an interaction permission range for each interaction allowable content item. 173, an interaction permission period 174 for each interaction permission content item, and whether to execute an execution command for each interaction permission content item.

The display unit 151 may display an interaction constraint setting window according to a user input.

Subsequently, the controller 180 may include an interaction constraint service constraint module. In FIG. 5, the interaction constraint service module is illustrated as being implemented in the controller 180. However, according to an embodiment, the interaction constraint service module may be implemented in a separate memory, a memory 170, or an external memory. The interaction constraint service module may be implemented at the time of shipment of the mobile terminal 100 or may be implemented at OS / firmware upgrade.

As an example, if the user input received from the input unit 120 is a specific user input for interaction constraint, the controller 180 provides the interaction constraint setting window to the display unit 151 and through the interaction constraint setting window, When the interaction allowance period and the interaction allowance range are set, the interaction constraint may be performed such that only the contents generated within the interaction allowance period among the contents included in the interaction allowance allowance may be allowed.

Next, the input unit 120 may include a camera 121 or an image input unit for inputting an image signal, a microphone 122 for inputting an audio signal, or an audio input unit and a user input unit 123 for receiving information from a user. For example, a touch key, a mechanical key, and the like may be included. The voice data or the image data collected by the input unit 120 may be analyzed and processed as a control command of the user.

For example, the user input received by the input unit 120 may be a preset specific gesture input, may be a preset fingerprint input, or may be a touch input of a preset specific button.

The particular button may be a FA button generated on the display screen or a toggle button generated on at least one of a contents title bar and a quick menu bar. Can be.

In addition, the user input received by the input unit 120 may be a face recognition input according to a preset specific button or may be a preset voice input.

Accordingly, the controller 180 may control the display unit 151 to provide an interaction constraint setting window according to a preset user input.

6A to 6D are schematic diagrams for describing an interaction constraint setting process of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when a main user wants to share only specific content with others, an interaction constraint function for sharing only specific content with others and unsharing the remaining contents with others on all screens currently being executed is directly performed. You can run

As illustrated in FIG. 6A, the mobile terminal may receive a user input from the main user 520 while executing a predetermined app on the screen 510.

The mobile terminal can then determine whether the received user input is a specific user input for interaction constraint.

Here, the specific user input for the interaction constraint may be a predetermined specific gesture input.

In some cases, the specific user input for interaction constraint may be a preset fingerprint input or a touch input of a preset specific button.

In this case, the specific button may be a FA button generated on the display screen or a toggle button generated on at least one of a contents title bar and a quick menu bar. Can be.

As another case, the specific user input for the interaction constraint may be a face recognition input according to a preset specific button or may be a preset voice input.

As illustrated in FIG. 6B, if the received user input is a specific user input for interaction constraint, the mobile terminal may display the first interaction constraint setting window 610 on the screen 510.

Here, the first interaction constraint setting window 610 may be a setting window for setting an interaction allowance period.

For example, the first interaction constraint setting window 610 may include a calendar including a date picker 612 function.

The first interaction constraint setting window 610 cancels the interaction permission period set by the main user 520 and the approval button 616 for approving the interaction permission period set by the main user 520. It may include a cancel button 614 to.

Accordingly, the main user 520 may set an interaction allowance period through a calendar including a date picker 612 function included in the first interaction constraint setting window 610.

Here, the setting of the interaction allowance period means that when the generated dates are included in the set interaction allowance period, only the corresponding contents can be shared with others.

Subsequently, when the interaction allowance period is set, the mobile terminal may check whether there is content generated within the set interaction allowance period.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6C, if there is content generated within the set interaction allowance period, the second interaction constraint setting window 620 may be displayed on the screen 510.

Here, the second interaction constraint setting window 620 may be a setting window for setting the interaction allowable range.

For example, the second interaction constraint setting window 620 may select an interaction allowable content item list 622, an interaction allowance range 624 for each interaction allowable content item, and whether to execute an execution command for each interaction allowable content item. May include a button 626.

In this case, the interaction allowable content item list 622 may include only content items generated within the set interaction allowance period.

The second interaction constraint setting window 620 cancels the interaction permission range set by the main user 520 and the approval button 628 for approving the interaction permission range set by the main user 520. It may include a cancel button 627 to.

Therefore, the main user 520 may set the interaction allowance range through the second interaction constraint setting window 620.

Here, the setting of the interaction allowance range means that the use scope of others for the contents to be shared is restricted.

For example, if the interaction allowance is set to view permission only, the use range of others for the content to be shared is limited to the view of the content, and the left and right sweep function or the zoom in / out of the content is limited. Only functions are provided.

In addition, when allowing an execution command for each interaction allowable content item in the interaction permission range, the other person may have a right to execute a command of the execution screen.

However, in the interaction permission range, when restricting the execution command for each interaction allowable content item, the other person may not have the authority to execute the command of the execution screen.

Next, as illustrated in FIG. 6D, when the interaction allowance range is set, the mobile terminal may perform an interaction constraint that allows only interactions among contents included in the set interaction allowance period within the interaction allowance period. have.

For example, when the mobile terminal displays a gallery screen in which contents are arranged by date, if the interaction constraint is set to share only the content item 710 generated on December 25, 2014, the tine 530 may be assigned to the user. If you select the content item 710 created on December 25, 2014, you can view the content, but in addition to the content item 710 created on December 25, 2014, the content created on August 21, 2014 When the item 720 is selected, the content cannot be viewed due to interaction constraints.

In this case, the mobile terminal may display a message 730 indicating that there is no access right on the screen 510.

Here, when the interaction constraint is performed, the main user 520 may share only specific content that can be allowed to interact with, like the other person 530.

However, when a user input for automatically identifying the main user 520 is set, the mobile terminal can release the interaction restriction only to the main user 520.

For example, when the user input is a face recognition input, since the mobile terminal can immediately identify the main user, only the main user can immediately release the interaction constraint, and thus the main user can immediately use all contents.

7A to 7F are schematic diagrams for explaining user input for setting interaction constraints of a mobile terminal.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, various user inputs may be set in advance so that an interaction restriction function may be immediately executed on a currently executed screen.

As illustrated in FIG. 6A, the mobile terminal may provide an interaction constraint setting window when the user input is a preset specific gesture input.

In some cases, as illustrated in FIG. 7A, the mobile terminal may provide an interaction constraint setting window when the user input is a preset fingerprint input.

For example, when the mobile terminal sets a specific user input for setting an interaction constraint as a fingerprint input, when the main user 520 inputs a fingerprint to the fingerprint recognition unit 800 of the mobile terminal, the screen 510 is displayed. The main user 520 may be identified by displaying the fingerprint pattern 810 recognized above, and comparing the fingerprint pattern 810 with a preset fingerprint pattern.

When the main user 520 is identified, the mobile terminal may provide an interaction constraint setting window for setting the interaction constraint.

As another case, as shown in FIG. 7B, the mobile terminal may provide an interaction constraint setting window when the user input is a touch input of a predetermined specific button.

For example, the specific button may be a FA button 820 generated on the display screen 510.

Accordingly, when the mobile terminal sets a specific user input for setting the interaction constraint as a touch input of the FA button 820, the mobile terminal displays the FA button 820 on all the screens 510, and the main user 520 When touch inputting the FA button 820, an interaction constraint setting window for setting the interaction constraint may be provided.

As another case, as shown in FIG. 7C, the mobile terminal may provide an interaction constraint setting window when the user input is a touch input of a predetermined specific button.

For example, the specific button may be a toggle button 830 generated on a contents title bar of the display screen 510.

Accordingly, when the mobile terminal sets a specific user input for setting the interaction constraint as a touch input of the toggle button 830, the mobile terminal displays a toggle button 830 on the content title bar, and the main user 520 toggles the toggle button. When touch input is input, the interaction constraint setting window for setting the interaction constraint may be provided.

As another case, as illustrated in FIG. 7D, the mobile terminal may provide an interaction constraint setting window when the user input is a preset voice input of the user.

For example, when the mobile terminal sets a specific user input for setting the interaction constraint as the voice input of the user, the mobile terminal displays the voice recognition button 850 on the content title bar, and the main user 520 displays the voice recognition button ( When the user inputs the touch screen 850, the microphone image is displayed on the display screen 510 to indicate that the user is preparing for voice recognition, to receive a specific voice of the main user 521, and compare the voice with a preset voice to the main user 521. Can be identified.

When the main user 521 is identified, the mobile terminal may provide an interaction constraint setting window for setting the interaction constraint.

As another case, as illustrated in FIG. 7E, the mobile terminal may provide an interaction constraint setting window when the user input is a touch input of a preset specific button.

For example, the specific button may be a toggle button 840 generated on at least one of the quick menu bar 550 of the display screen 510.

Accordingly, when the mobile terminal sets a specific user input for setting the interaction constraint as a touch input of the toggle button 840 of the quick menu bar 550, the mobile terminal displays the toggle button 840 on the quick menu bar 550. When the main user touches the toggle button 840, the interaction constraint setting window for setting the interaction constraint may be provided.

As another case, as shown in FIG. 7F, the mobile terminal may provide an interaction constraint setting window when the user input is a face recognition input of a preset user.

For example, when the mobile terminal sets a specific user input for setting the interaction constraint as the face recognition input of the user, the mobile terminal displays a face recognition button 844 on the content title bar, and the main user 520 displays the face recognition button. When touch inputting the 844, the camera 841 may operate to perform the face recognition mode.

When the face recognition mode is performed, the mobile terminal displays a notification mark 842 indicating that face recognition is in progress on the status menu bar 843, displays a face image photographed on the display screen 510, and is currently photographed. The main user 520 may be identified by comparing the face image 840 of the main user 520 with a preset face image.

When the main user 520 is identified, the mobile terminal may provide an interaction constraint setting window for setting the interaction constraint.

8 is a diagram illustrating an interaction home screen according to an interaction constraint setting of a mobile terminal.

As illustrated in FIG. 8, when an interaction constraint is set through the interaction constraint setting window, the mobile terminal may generate and display the interaction home screen 900 on the display screen 510.

Here, the interaction home screen 900 may display only the upper items including the content that allows the interaction according to the interaction constraint setting.

For example, the upper items may be at least one of a widget item 910, an app item 920, and a folder item 930 including content allowing interaction according to an interaction constraint setting. However, it is not limited thereto.

In this case, each upper item may include at least one content that can be shared by setting an interaction constraint.

As such, since the interaction home screen 900 collects and displays only all the parent items including the shareable content, others may share content only within the range of the parent items included in the interaction home screen 900. For the main user, there is the convenience of safely sharing only the content he / she wants with others.

When the interaction constraint is set, the mobile terminal displays the interaction home screen 900 on the display screen 510 so that others can execute only the content that can be allowed to interact among the content items included in the interaction home screen 900. Can be.

Here, the other person cannot move to or execute a page screen other than the interaction home screen 900.

If another person moves to a page screen other than the interaction home screen 900, the mobile terminal may display an access permission message on the interaction home screen 900.

In addition, when a specific user input for releasing interaction constraint is received on the interaction home screen 900, the mobile terminal may execute all contents by releasing the interaction constraint of all contents included in the interaction home screen 900. .

Here, the specific user input for releasing the interaction constraint may be a predetermined specific gesture input.

In some cases, the specific user input for canceling the interaction constraint may be a preset fingerprint input or a touch input of a preset specific button.

In this case, the specific button may be a FA button generated on the display screen or a toggle button generated on at least one of a contents title bar and a quick menu bar. Can be.

In another case, the specific user input for canceling the interaction constraint may be a face recognition input according to a preset specific button or may be a preset voice input.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the specific user input for the interaction constraint and the specific user input for the interaction constraint release may be identical to each other, but may be different from each other in some cases.

9A to 9C are diagrams illustrating execution screens for content items in which interaction constraints are set.

As shown in FIGS. 9A to 9C, when a content item having interaction constraints is selected, the mobile terminal may display content included in the content item.

For example, FIG. 9A illustrates a photo 1010 included in a gallery album related content item.

Herein, the other person may have only a viewing right of viewing only the picture that can be shared among the pictures 1010 included in the gallery album related content item.

Therefore, since the use range for the contents to be shared is limited to the view of the contents only, the other person can execute only the left and right sweep function or the zoom in / out function of the photo contents.

In addition, FIG. 9B is a phone execution screen 1020 on which a phone app is executed, and the other person can use only a dial function on the phone execution screen 1020 and cannot use other call functions or the like.

9C shows a video 1030 included in a specific folder item.

Here, the other person may have only a viewing right of viewing only the video that can be shared among the videos 1030 included in a specific folder item.

Therefore, since the use range for the contents to be shared is limited to only the viewing of the contents, others can only execute the play function of the video contents.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating selection of non-interactable content items according to interaction constraints, and FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating selection of interaction allowed content items according to interaction constraints.

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, when a user input for selecting a higher item displayed on the interaction home screen is received, the mobile terminal displays a plurality of content items included in the selected higher item and displays the plurality of content items. In the meantime, the identification mark may be displayed on the content items in which the interaction constraint is set.

For example, as illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11, when the album-related parent item 1040 is selected, the mobile terminal may display a plurality of content items included in the album-related parent item 1040.

Here, the content items may include an interaction allowable content item 1041 that can be shared with another person and a non-interactable content item 1043 that cannot be shared with another person.

At this time, an identification mark 1042 may be displayed on the interaction allowable content item 1041 or the non-interactable content item 1043.

10 and 11 illustrate an embodiment in which an identification mark 1042 is displayed on the edge of an interaction-allowable content item 1041 that can be shared with others, thereby distinguishing it from the non-interactable content item 1043 that cannot be shared with others. .

Here, the identification mark 1042 can be variously displayed using a color, a shape, a mark, or the like.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, when the other person 530 selects the non-interactable content item 1043 that cannot be shared with the other person, the mobile terminal may not access the message on the screen of the album related upper item 1040. Can be generated and displayed.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 11, when the other person 530 selects the interaction allowable content item 1041 that can be shared with the other person, the mobile terminal displays content 1061 included in the interaction allowable content item 1041, and When a user execution command for the displayed content is input, the user execution command may be allowed or blocked according to whether a preset execution command is allowed.

For example, if the user execution command for the displayed content 1061 is previously set to not allow, the mobile terminal may allow only some basic execution functions and block all other execution functions.

Accordingly, the tine 530 may perform only a left and right sweep function or a zoom in / out function of the photo content.

If the other person 530 selects a specific toggle button 1063 in order to perform the correction function of the picture content 1062, the mobile terminal may not access the message 1050 on the screen of the picture content 1062. Can be generated and displayed.

12 to 15 are schematic diagrams for explaining a user input for executing an interaction constraint release of a mobile terminal.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, various user inputs may be set in advance so that an interaction restriction release function may be immediately executed on a currently executed screen.

As illustrated in FIG. 12, the mobile terminal may release the interaction constraint when the user input is a preset specific gesture input.

Here, the user input for canceling the interaction constraint may be the same as the user input for setting the interaction constraint.

For example, the gesture input for canceling the interaction constraint may be the same as the gesture input for setting the interaction constraint.

In some cases, the user input for canceling the interaction constraint may be different from the user input for setting the interaction constraint.

For example, the gesture input for canceling the interaction constraint and the gesture input for setting the interaction constraint may be different from each other.

In another case, if the user input for removing the interaction constraint is a gesture input, the user input for setting the interaction constraint may be any one of a fingerprint input, a touch input, a voice recognition input, a face recognition input, and the like, in addition to the gesture input.

If the user input is a preset specific gesture input for removing the interaction constraint, the mobile terminal may release the interaction constraint and display the interaction constraint release message 1110 on the screen 510.

In addition, when a specific user input for releasing interaction constraint is received on the interaction home screen 900, the mobile terminal may release the interaction constraint of all contents included in the interaction home screen 900.

In some cases, when a user input for selecting a higher item displayed on the interaction home screen 900 is received, the mobile terminal displays an execution screen of the selected higher item, and on the execution screen of the higher item, the mobile terminal specifies a specific for canceling the interaction restriction. When the user input is received, the interaction restriction of all contents included in the higher item may be released.

However, as described above, when a specific user input for releasing interaction constraint is a gesture input, the user content may not be secured because it is easily exposed to others.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 13, when a specific user input for releasing interaction constraint is a gesture input, in order to enhance security for user content, the mobile terminal receives a password input when a gesture input for releasing interaction constraint is received. The password input window 1120 may be provided.

The mobile terminal may release the interaction restriction and display the interaction restriction release message 1110 on the screen 510 when a password previously set by the user is input through the password input window 1120.

In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 14, the mobile terminal may release the interaction constraint when the user input is a preset fingerprint input.

For example, when the mobile terminal sets a specific user input for canceling interaction constraint as a fingerprint input, when the main user 520 inputs a fingerprint to the fingerprint recognition unit of the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal is recognized on the screen 510. The fingerprint pattern 1132 may be displayed and compared to a preset fingerprint pattern, the fingerprint recognition completion message 1130 may be displayed on the screen 510 in the case of the fingerprint of the main user 520.

When the main user 520 is identified, the mobile terminal may release the interaction constraint and display the interaction constraint release message 1110 on the screen 510.

In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 15, the mobile terminal may release the interaction constraint when the user input is a touch input of a predetermined specific button.

For example, the specific button may be a FA button 820 generated on the display screen 510.

Accordingly, when the mobile terminal sets a specific user input for canceling the interaction constraint as a touch input of the FA button 820, the mobile terminal displays the FA button 820 on all screens 510, and the main user 520 displays the FA button 820. When the FA button 820 is touched, the interaction constraint may be released, and the interaction constraint release message 1110 may be displayed on the screen 510.

Here, when the specific user input for releasing the interaction constraint is a touch input of the FA button 820, the interaction constraint may be released by another person, so that security of the user content may not be secure.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 15, when the specific user input for releasing the interaction is a touch input of the FA button 820, in order to enhance security for the user content, the mobile terminal may use the FA button for releasing the interaction constraint. When a touch input of 820 is received, a password input window 1120 for password input may be provided.

The mobile terminal may release the interaction restriction and display the interaction restriction release message 1110 on the screen 510 when a password previously set by the user is input through the password input window 1120.

In some cases, the specific button may be a toggle button 830 generated on a contents title bar of the display screen 510.

In this case, when the specific user input for releasing the interaction constraint is a touch input of the toggle button 830, the interaction constraint may be released by another person, so that security of the user content may not be secure.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 15, when the specific user input for releasing interaction constraint is a touch input of the toggle button 830, the mobile terminal may toggle the toggle button for releasing interaction constraint in order to enhance security of user content. When a touch input of 830 is received, a password input window 1120 for password input may be provided.

The mobile terminal may release the interaction restriction and display the interaction restriction release message 1110 on the screen 510 when a password previously set by the user is input through the password input window 1120.

In addition, the mobile terminal may release the interaction constraint as described above even when the specific user input for canceling the interaction constraint is a voice recognition input or a face recognition input.

According to the present invention, although the user input for the interaction constraint cancellation and the user input for the interaction constraint setting may be set to be the same, in some cases, the user input for the interaction constraint cancellation and the user input for the interaction constraint setting are differently set. It can also be used.

16 to 19 are diagrams illustrating a process of setting and releasing interaction constraints.

If the other person 530 selects the non-interactable content item 1043 that cannot be shared with the other person, the mobile terminal may generate and display an access permission disable message 730 on the screen of the upper item related to the album.

When the mobile terminal receives a touch input of the FA button 820 for releasing interaction restriction from the main user 520, the mobile terminal provides a password input window 1120 for password input, and provides a password input window 1120. If a password previously set by the main user 520 is input, the interaction constraint may be released, and the interaction constraint release message 1110 may be displayed on the screen.

Here, the touch input of the FA button 820 for canceling the interaction constraint may be the same as the touch input of the FA button 820 for setting the interaction constraint.

As another case, as shown in FIG. 19, when the main user 520 touches the face recognition button 844 while executing the screen of the album-related higher item, the mobile terminal enters the face recognition mode. Can be done.

When the face recognition mode is performed, the mobile terminal displays a notification mark 842 indicating that the face is being recognized on the status menu bar 843, and displays a face image and a preset face image of the currently captured main user 520. In comparison, primary user 520 may be identified.

When the main user 520 is identified, the mobile terminal may provide an interaction constraint setting window for setting the interaction constraint, and set the interaction constraint on the remaining contents except for contents to be shared with others.

Here, the content items may include an interaction allowable content item 1041 that can be shared with another person and a non-interactable content item 1043 that cannot be shared with another person.

At this time, an identification mark 1042 may be displayed on the interaction allowable content item 1041 or the non-interactable content item 1043.

If the other person 530 selects the non-interactable content item 1043 that cannot be shared with the other person, the mobile terminal may generate and display an access permission disable message 730 on the screen of the upper item related to the album.

When the main user 520 touches the face recognition button 844 while performing the interaction constraint, the mobile terminal performs the face recognition mode and identifies the main user 520 through face recognition. When the interaction constraint is released, the interaction constraint release message 1110 may be displayed on the screen.

Here, the face recognition input for releasing the interaction constraint may be the same as the face recognition input for setting the interaction constraint.

In another case, although not shown, when the mobile terminal receives a touch input of a toggle button for interaction restriction from a main user while executing a screen of an album-related higher item, the mobile terminal provides a setting window for interaction restriction. Interaction constraints may be set for the remaining contents other than the contents to be shared with others.

When the mobile terminal receives a touch input of a toggle button for canceling interaction restriction from the main user, the mobile terminal provides a password input window for inputting a password, and when a password preset by the main user is input through the password input window. In addition, the interaction constraint may be released, and the interaction constraint release message may be displayed on the screen.

In addition, when a specific user input for releasing interaction constraint is received from the interaction home screen, the mobile terminal may release the interaction constraint of all contents included in the interaction home screen.

In addition, when a user input for selecting a higher item displayed on the interaction home screen is received, the mobile terminal displays an execution screen of the selected higher item, and when a specific user input for canceling interaction restriction is received on the execution screen of the higher item. In addition, the interaction restriction of all contents included in the parent item may be released.

20 is a diagram illustrating an interaction setting window according to another embodiment of the present invention.

As illustrated in FIG. 20, when the mobile terminal receives a user input for interaction constraint from the main user 520 while executing a screen of an album-related higher item, the mobile terminal may set an interaction constraint setting window 1300 for interaction constraint. Can be provided.

Here, the interaction constraint setting window 1300 may be displayed in a layout form corresponding to the screen of the upper item related to the album.

For example, when generating the interaction constraint setting window 1300, the mobile terminal may provide the mobile terminal to match the layout shape of the currently running app.

Here, the interaction constraint setting window 1300 may include an all item selection button 1320 capable of selecting all content items.

Accordingly, when the main user 520 selects an area in which the content item to be shared with others is arranged in the interaction constraint setting window 1300, the mobile terminal displays a selection confirmation mark 1310 on the screen of the corresponding area. In addition, only the content item located in the region where the selection confirmation mark 1310 is displayed may be set to allow interaction.

When the mobile terminal sets interaction constraints on the remaining contents other than the contents to be shared with others, the mobile terminal may allow the interaction allowing content items 1041 that can be shared with others and the non-interacting content items 1043 that cannot be shared with others. Identification mark 1042 may be displayed.

If the other person 530 selects the non-interactable content item 1043 that cannot be shared with the other person, the mobile terminal may generate and display an access permission disable message 730 on the screen of the upper item related to the album.

As described above, the mobile terminal provides the interaction constraint setting window 1300 in the same shape as the layout of the currently executed screen, so that the user can easily and easily search for other content items except for content items to be shared with others. You can easily set interaction constraints.

21 is a flowchart illustrating a method of executing interaction constraints in a mobile terminal according to one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 21, the mobile terminal receives a user input from a main user while executing a predetermined app on a screen (S10).

Subsequently, the mobile terminal checks whether the received user input is a specific user input for interaction constraint.

Here, the specific user input for the interaction constraint may be a predetermined specific gesture input.

In some cases, the specific user input for interaction constraint may be a preset fingerprint input or a touch input of a preset specific button.

In this case, the specific button may be a FA button generated on the display screen or a toggle button generated on at least one of a contents title bar and a quick menu bar. Can be.

As another case, the specific user input for the interaction constraint may be a face recognition input according to a preset specific button or may be a preset voice input.

If the received user input is a specific user input for interaction constraint, the mobile terminal provides a first interaction constraint setting window (S15).

Here, the first interaction constraint setting window may be a setting window for setting an interaction allowance period.

Setting the interaction allowance period means that when the generated dates are included in the set interaction allowance period, only the corresponding contents can be shared with others.

Subsequently, the mobile terminal checks whether the setting of the interaction allowance period is completed through the first interaction constraint setting window (S17).

If the interaction allowance period is set, the mobile terminal checks whether there is content generated within the set interaction allowance period (S19).

Next, if there is content generated within the set interaction allowance period, the mobile terminal provides a second interaction constraint setting window (S21).

Here, the second interaction constraint setting window may be a setting window for setting an interaction allowance range.

For example, the second interaction constraint setting window may include an interaction allowable content item list, an interaction allowance range for each interaction allowable content item, and a selection button on whether to allow an execution command for each interaction allowable content item.

In this case, the interaction allowable content item list may include only content items generated within the set interaction allowance period.

Here, the setting of the interaction allowance range means that the use scope of others for the contents to be shared is restricted.

For example, if the interaction allowance is set to view permission only, the use range of others for the content to be shared is limited to the view of the content, and the left and right sweep function or the zoom in / out of the content is limited. Only functions are provided.

In addition, when allowing an execution command for each interaction allowable content item in the interaction permission range, the other person may have a right to execute a command of the execution screen.

However, in the interaction permission range, when restricting the execution command for each interaction allowable content item, the other person may not have the authority to execute the command of the execution screen.

Next, the mobile terminal checks whether the interaction allowable range has been set through the second interaction constraint setting window (S23).

Subsequently, when the interaction allowance range is set, the mobile terminal performs an interaction constraint that allows interaction only with contents generated within the interaction allowance period among contents included in the set interaction allowance range (S25).

In addition, if the received user input is not a specific user input for interaction constraint, the mobile terminal checks whether the received user input is a specific user input for interaction constraint release (S27).

If the received user input is a specific user input for canceling the interaction constraint, the mobile terminal may release the interaction constraint and provide an interaction constraint release message (S29).

As described above, the present invention can easily perform interaction restriction or release on desired content through the set user input on the current execution screen.

In addition, the present invention may provide convenience to a user by displaying an interaction home screen in which all contents on which the interaction constraint has been executed and the upper items including the content are arranged and arranged.

In addition, the present invention can enhance the security of the content by performing a password input together with the set user input when the interaction restriction is released.

In addition, the present invention provides an interaction setting window in a layout form corresponding to the current execution screen, so that the user can conveniently set the interaction constraint.
