Hereinafter, a command processing method according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a command processing method according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

First, the control unit 406 checks (detects) the number of edges input from the user via the display unit 404. Here, the display unit 404 includes a touch screen that detects a touch operation by a touch sensor including a touch film, a touch sheet, a touch pad, and the like. In addition, the number of edges input from the user may be checked through the input unit 401 including a touch screen instead of the display unit 404.

For example, as illustrated in FIGS. 5A to 5C, when the user inputs a line using the user's finger, a stylus pen, a touch pen, or the like, on the display unit 404 The controller 406 checks the number of edges of the input line.

5A corresponds to cases in which the number of edges is “0” and a point is input once or a line (including a straight line or a curve) is input.

5B shows cases (a-1, a-2, a-3) in which the number of edges is "1", and FIG. 5C shows cases (b-11) in which the number of edges is "2". b-12, b-21 and b-22, b-31 and b-32.

In addition, the controller 406 may detect (confirm) an edge of a line input in a round trip up, down, left, right, or diagonally at the same place on the display unit 404 (S110).

Thereafter, the controller 406 performs a function previously stored in the storage unit 403 in response to the identified number of edges.

That is, the controller 406 controls to display the menu screen on the display unit 404 when the function previously stored in the storage unit 403 is a specific menu screen in response to the identified number of edges.

In addition, the controller 406 executes a corresponding command when a function previously stored in the storage unit 403 is a specific command corresponding to the identified number of edges. In addition, the controller 406 may control to output the execution result of the command through the display unit 404 and / or the voice output unit 405.

For example, in a state in which the corresponding menu screen or command function according to the number of edges as shown in Table 1 is pre-stored in the storage unit 403, when the number of the checked edges is 3, the control unit 406 ) Controls the display unit 404 to output a "phonebook search menu screen" previously stored in the storage unit 403 corresponding to the identified number of edges (for example, "3").

Edge number function 0 "Help" output of active window One Run the active "Close current window" function 2 Run the "electronic dictionary" program 3 Output "Phonebook Search Menu Screen" ... ...

Here, the function setting for the corresponding menu screen or command according to the number of edges pre-stored in the storage unit 403 may be clicked on the "edge input setting" button (not shown) in the user menu setting screen (not shown). It may be set using a user interface provided or a graphical user interface (not shown). In addition, the function setting according to the number of edges may be set for a menu screen or a command that a user prefers (or frequently uses) (S120).

6 is a flowchart illustrating a command processing method according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

First, the control unit 406 checks (detects) the number of points input from the user via the display unit 404. Here, the display unit 404 includes a touch screen that detects a touch operation by a touch sensor including a touch film, a touch sheet, a touch pad, and the like. In addition, the number of points input from the user may be checked through the input unit 401 including a touch screen instead of the display unit 404.

In addition, the number of input points may be checked by the number of times input within a preset time (for example, 3 seconds) (S210).

Thereafter, the controller 406 performs a function previously stored in the storage unit 403 in response to the identified number of points.

That is, the controller 406 controls to display the menu screen on the display unit 404 when a function previously stored in the storage unit 403 is a specific menu screen corresponding to the identified number of points.

In addition, the controller 406 executes a corresponding command when a function previously stored in the storage unit 403 is a specific command corresponding to the identified number of points. In addition, the controller 406 may control to output the execution result of the command through the display unit 404 and / or the voice output unit 405.

For example, in a state in which the corresponding menu screen or command function according to the number of points is pre-stored in the storage unit 403, when the number of the identified points is 2, the controller 406 may determine the identified points. In response to the number of times, a function of "calling a preset home telephone number (for example, 02-1234-5678)" previously stored in the storage unit 403 is executed (S220).

7 is a flowchart illustrating a command processing method according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

First, the control unit 406 checks (detects) the number of times of input of a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon input from the user through the display unit 404. Here, the display unit 404 includes a touch screen that detects a touch operation by a touch sensor including a touch film, a touch sheet, a touch pad, and the like. In addition, the input unit 401 including a touch screen instead of the display unit 404 may check the number of times of input of a circle, an ellipse or a polygon input from the user.

In addition, the input number of the input circle, ellipse or polygon may be confirmed as the number of times input within a preset time (for example, 5 seconds).

In addition, the input direction of the input circle, ellipse or polygon may also be checked with the input circle, ellipse or polygon, such as whether it is input in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

For example, when the user inputs two circles in the clockwise direction using the user's finger, a stylus pen, a touch pen, etc., on the display unit 404, the controller 406 may be configured with respect to the input circle. The input direction and the number of inputs are checked (for example, two inputs in a clockwise direction) (S310).

Thereafter, the controller 406 performs a function previously stored in the storage unit 403 in response to the identified number of times of input of the circle, ellipse or polygon and / or the input direction.

That is, the controller 406, when a function previously stored in the storage unit 403 is a specific menu screen corresponding to the input number and / or input direction of the identified circle, ellipse or polygon, displays the menu screen. Control to display on the display unit 404.

In addition, the controller 406 executes a corresponding command when a function previously stored in the storage unit 403 corresponds to a specific number of inputs and / or input directions of the identified circle, ellipse, or polygon. In addition, the controller 406 may control to output the execution result of the command through the display unit 404 and / or the voice output unit 405.

As an example, when inputted twice in the clockwise direction, the controller 406 controls to execute a "screen protection function setting" command previously stored in the storage unit 403 according to the direction and the number of times of input (S320).

8 is a flowchart illustrating a command processing method according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.

First, the control unit 406 checks the number of vibrations in the up / down, left / right, or diagonal directions of the sensor unit 402 input through the sensor unit 402. The sensor unit 402 may be a motion recognition sensor. In addition to the number of vibrations, the vibration directions (up, down, left, right, diagonal directions, etc.) can be checked (detected) together.

In addition, the input frequency can be checked by the number of times input within a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) (S410).

Thereafter, the controller 406 performs a function previously stored in the storage unit 403 in response to the identified frequency.

That is, the controller 406 controls to display the menu screen on the display unit 404 when a function previously stored in the storage unit 403 is a specific menu screen in response to the identified frequency.

In addition, the controller 406 executes a corresponding command when a function previously stored in the storage unit 403 is a specific command in response to the identified frequency. In addition, the controller 406 may control to output the execution result of the command through the display unit 404 and / or the voice output unit 405 (S420).

9 is a flowchart illustrating a command processing method according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention.

First, the controller 406 detects a user's movement in an image input through the input unit 401 including a camera. Herein, the movement of the user may include movement of a focused user's face (eg, movement in a direction such as up, down, left, right, and diagonal lines), movement of the focused pupil, movement of the focused hand, and movement of the focused finger. It may be to detect the movement of the body part of the user focused by the camera, and the like, and the method of detecting the movement of the user may be implemented through various application programs.

In addition, the detected movement of the user may be confirmed as the movement of the user detected within a predetermined time (S510).

Thereafter, the controller 406 checks the number of edges in the detected user movement.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the controller 406 checks the number of edges among the movements of the user's finger focused by the camera. In this case, in the case of FIG. 10, when the number of edges according to the movement of the user's finger is "2" (701, 702), the controller 406 determines the number of edges according to the movement of the user's finger. It is confirmed as "2" (S520).

Thereafter, the controller 406 performs a function previously stored in the storage unit 403 in response to the identified number of edges.

That is, the controller 406 controls to display the menu screen on the display unit 404 when the function previously stored in the storage unit 403 is a specific menu screen in response to the identified number of edges.

In addition, the controller 406 executes a corresponding command when a function previously stored in the storage unit 403 is a specific command corresponding to the identified number of edges. In addition, the controller 406 may control to output the execution result of the command through the display unit 404 and / or the voice output unit 405 (S530).

In this way, a command is input by an easy, convenient and simple operation, and the pre-stored function may be performed on the input command.

As described above, in the first to fifth embodiments, the number of edges, the number of points, the input direction and / or the number of polygons, the number of vibrations and / or vibrations of the terminal, and the number of edges according to the movement of the user confirmed through the camera are described. Although each has been described, the above contents may be implemented in combination with each other.

That is, for example, when the number of edges and the number of points are combined, when the user inputs "V ... N" continuously (or within a predetermined time) on the display unit 404, the control unit 406, "V" is "edge one time", "..." is "point two times", "N" is "edge two times" with respect to the said continuously input "V ... N", and "edge 1", respectively. It may be configured to perform a function such as output of a menu or execution of a corresponding command previously stored in the storage unit 403 corresponding to "time, point 2, edge 2".
