Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. At this time, it should be noted that the same components in the accompanying drawings are represented by the same reference numerals as possible. In addition, detailed descriptions of well-known functions and configurations that may blur the gist of the present invention will be omitted.

An embodiment of the present invention is described using a portable terminal as an example, but is not limited thereto, and may be applied to a large display device such as a TV, a computer, a laptop, and the like. A portable terminal according to embodiments of the present invention is a terminal having a touch screen, and preferably, a mobile communication terminal, a portable multimedia player (PMP), a personal digital assistant (PDA), and a smart device. The present invention can be applied to all information communication devices and multimedia devices such as smart phones, MP3 players, and the like, and applications thereof.

1 is a block diagram showing the structure of a portable terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the portable terminal of the present invention includes a wireless communication unit 110, an audio processing unit 120, a storage unit 130, a touch screen unit 140, a key input unit 150, and a controller 160. It may include.

The wireless communication unit 110 performs a function of transmitting and receiving corresponding data for wireless communication of the mobile terminal. The wireless communication unit 110 may include an RF transmitter for upconverting and amplifying a frequency of a transmitted signal, and an RF receiver for low noise amplifying and downconverting a received signal. In addition, the wireless communication unit 110 may receive data through a wireless channel, output the data to the controller 160, and transmit data output from the controller 160 through the wireless channel.

 The audio processor 120 may be configured as a codec, and the codec includes a data codec for processing packet data and an audio codec for processing an audio signal such as voice. The audio processor 120 converts the digital audio signal into an analog audio signal through an audio codec, plays back through a speaker, and converts an analog audio signal input from a microphone into a digital audio signal through an audio codec.

The storage unit 130 stores programs and data necessary for the operation of the portable terminal, and may be divided into a program area and a data area. The storage unit 130 according to the embodiment of the present invention sets a touch pressure to determine the rate of change of the user interface degree, the program for operating the user interface by increasing or decreasing the rate of change according to the touch pressure Can be stored.

The touch screen unit 140 includes a display unit 140A and a touch panel 140B.

The display unit 140A may be formed of a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light emitting diode (OLED), or the like. The display unit 140A visually provides a menu of the portable terminal, input data, function setting information, and various other information to the user. For example, the display unit 140A outputs a portable terminal booting screen, a standby screen, a display screen, a call screen, a setting screen, an application execution screen, and the like.

The touch panel 140B detects whether the touch mechanism is in contact with the touch screen. The touch device may correspond to a user's hand or a touch pen (stylus pen). The touch panel 140B may be configured as a touch sensing sensor such as a capacitive overlay, a resistive overlay, an infrared beam, or a pressure sensor. Without being limited thereto, any kind of sensor capable of detecting contact or pressure of an object may be used in the touch panel 140B of the present invention.

The touch panel 140B may be attached to the display unit 140A and may be formed on one side, one side, or both sides of the portable terminal. The touch panel 140B detects a user's touch input, generates a touch signal, and transmits the generated touch signal to the controller 160. The touch signal according to the embodiment of the present invention may include position information (X axis, Y axis) and pressure information (Z axis). Accordingly, when a touch event occurs, the controller 160 may acquire not only information on the touch position but also information on the touch pressure.

The key input unit 150 receives a key manipulation signal of a user for controlling the portable terminal and transmits the same to the controller 160. The key input unit 150 may be configured as a keypad including a numeric key and a direction key, and may be formed as a predetermined function key on one side of the portable terminal. According to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in the case of a portable terminal capable of all operations using only the touch screen unit 140, the key input unit 150 may be included in the touch screen unit 140.

The controller 160 controls the overall operation of the mobile terminal. In particular, the control unit 160 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a touch pressure extracting unit 160A and a user interface operating unit 160B.

When a touch event occurs, the touch pressure extractor 160A is transmitted from the touch screen unit 140 and receives a touch signal including position information (X-axis, Y-axis) and pressure information (Z-axis). The touch pressure extractor 160A extracts information about the touch pressure, among the touch signals, and transmits the information to the user interface operator 160B.

The user interface operator 160B controls a series of processes of operating the user interface by increasing or decreasing the rate of change according to the touch pressure according to the embodiment of the present invention. To this end, the user interface operator 160B determines whether the touch is maintained for a preset time when a touch event occurs at a specific position of the touch screen. This is to distinguish a general touch for clicking and a touch for entering a touch pressure interlocking mode. The preset time may be set as a default value such as "1 second" and "2 seconds", but is not limited thereto and may be changed flexibly according to a user's touch habit.

If the touch is maintained for a preset time, the user interface operator 160B sets the touch pressure to determine the rate of change of the user interface degree. In addition, the user interface operator 160B enters the touch pressure interlocking mode and increases or decreases the speed of change according to the touch pressure to operate the user interface. To this end, the user interface operator 160B may use information about the touch pressure extracted and transmitted from the touch pressure extractor 160A.

For example, if the function is a phone book view, the user interface operator 160B sets the touch pressure to determine the degree of scroll speed. The user interface operator 160B may control the scroll speed of the phone book screen to increase as the touch pressure increases, and to control the scroll speed of the phone book screen to decrease as the touch pressure decreases.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, when the function is an image display, the user interface operator 160B sets the touch pressure to determine the screen moving speed. Then, the user interface operator 160B may control the screen movement speed in the direction to increase as the touch pressure increases, and the screen movement speed in the direction to decrease as the touch pressure decreases.

In the above description, only the matters for determining the degree of the scroll speed or the screen movement speed is not limited thereto. That is, the present invention can be used for any user interface that displays or sets degrees. For example, it may be used in a user interface such as setting brightness, brightness, saturation, speed of on-screen motion, sound volume control, length display, image size up or down, and the like.

Specific embodiments of operating the user interface by increasing or decreasing the speed of change according to the touch pressure of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 8.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of operating a user interface by increasing or decreasing a change rate of a degree according to a touch pressure, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, in operation S205, the UI interface 160B detects that the portable terminal has entered a menu for executing a specific function. The specific function may mean all user interfaces for displaying or setting the above-mentioned degree, and may be, for example, a phone book, an image view, a sound source playback, or a mobile terminal environment setting.

In operation S210, the UI interface 160B determines whether a touch event occurs at a specific location. Here, the specific position may be a position of a soft key separately provided to link touch pressure with a specific function. Meanwhile, according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the specific position may mean an arbitrary position on the touch screen since it is not necessary to provide a softkey to link touch pressure with a specific function.

In operation S220, the user interface operator 160B determines whether the generated touch is maintained for a preset time. This is to distinguish between a general touch and a touch for entering the touch pressure interlocking mode of the present invention. If the touch is not maintained for more than a predetermined time, the user interface operator 160B detects this as a general touch. Accordingly, the user interface operator 160B proceeds to step S230 and controls to perform a corresponding function of the portable terminal.

On the other hand, if the touch is maintained for more than the set time, the user interface operator 160B detects this as a touch to enter the touch pressure interlocking mode and proceeds to step S240. Accordingly, the mobile terminal proceeds to step S250 to increase or decrease the speed of change according to the touch pressure to operate the user interface.

For example, when the user interface is a sound source playback, the user interface operator 160B sets the touch pressure to determine the sound volume of the sound source. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the user interface operator 160B controls the sound of the sound source to increase or decrease at a faster speed as the touch pressure increases, and as the touch pressure decreases, the sound of the sound source gradually increases at a slow speed. It can be controlled to be smaller or smaller.

As another example, when the user interface is a backlight brightness control of the display unit 140A, the user interface operator 160B sets the touch pressure to determine a change rate of the brightness of the screen. In addition, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the user interface operator 160B controls the backlight brightness to gradually darken or brighten as the touch pressure increases, and as the touch pressure decreases, the backlight brightness gradually darkens or brightens at a slower speed. Can be controlled to lose. Such embodiments are only a few, but are not necessarily limited thereto.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a specific process of performing the step S250 shown in FIG. 2 by the user interface operator 160B of the present invention.

First, when the user interface operator 160B enters the touch pressure interlocking mode, the user interface operator 160B may control to display a touch pressure indicator for displaying the touch pressure (or touch pressure strength) on the touch screen unit 140 in step S310. The user may visually check the magnitude of the touch pressure applied to the touch screen by using the touch pressure indicator. In addition, the user may use the touch pressure indicator to determine whether excessive touch pressure is applied to the touch screen.

In operation S320, the user interface operator 160B extracts and detects a touch pressure signal from a touch signal transmitted from the touch pressure extractor 160A. In addition, the user interface operator 160B proceeds to step S330 to control the performance of a specific function linked to the touch pressure according to the size of the touch pressure and performs the corresponding function.

In this case, the user interface operator 160B may level the change rate of the user interface degree according to the touch pressure as shown in Table 1 below.

Touch pressure magnitude (unit is integer) Speed of change level 1-10 Level 1 11-25 Level 2 26-40 Level 3 -
-
- -
-
-

In other words, when the size of the touch pressure generated in the touch screen is 20, the user interface operator 160B sets the change rate of the corresponding user interface to the level 2. For example, in the case of screen scrolling, the user interface operator 160B scrolls the screen at the speed of level two. Alternatively, in the case of adjusting the sound volume of the sound source, the user interface operator 160B increases or decreases the sound volume at the speed of level 2.

The user interface operator 160B determines whether the touch pressure generated in step S340 is changed. If there is no change in the touch pressure, the process returns to step S330 to continue the corresponding interface.

On the other hand, if there is a change in the touch pressure, the user interface operator 160B proceeds to step S345 to determine whether the touch is released. If the touch is released, the user interface operator 160B ends the performance of the corresponding function. On the other hand, if the touch is not released, the user interface operator 160B proceeds to step S350 to determine whether the touch pressure is increased or decreased.

If the touch pressure is increased, the user interface operator 160B proceeds to step S370 to increase the speed of change of the corresponding user interface. For example, in the case of a screen scroll event, the user interface operator 160B increases the screen scroll speed to a level 3 speed. Alternatively, in the case of the sound volume control event of the sound source, the user interface operator 160B increases or decreases the sound volume at the level 3 speed.

Here, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the user interface operator 160B may determine that the touch pressure is increased when the touch pressure size corresponding to the next level or more is detected. For example, when the current level is 2, the user interface operator 160B needs to detect a touch pressure of 26 or more, which is a minimum touch pressure size corresponding to level 3, in order to detect an increase in the touch pressure.

On the other hand, if the touch pressure is reduced, the user interface operator 160B proceeds to step S360 to reduce the rate of change of the user interface degree. For example, in the case of a screen scroll event, the user interface operator 160B decreases the screen scroll speed to a level 1 speed.

Similarly, the user interface operator 160B may determine that the touch pressure is reduced when the pressure level of the touch pressure size range corresponding to the previous level is sensed. For example, if the current level is 2, the user interface operator 160B needs to detect a touch pressure of 10 or less, which is the maximum touch pressure level of level 1, in order to detect the decrease in the touch pressure.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which the user interface operator 160B sets the touch pressure to determine the screen scroll speed, and thus operates the user interface. 4, reference will be made to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment in which a user who views a phonebook adjusts a scroll speed of a phonebook screen using touch pressure.

On the other hand, Figures 4 and 6 shows an embodiment having a separate softkey for operating the user interface by changing the degree according to the touch pressure.

First, in the start step of FIG. 4, the user interface operator 160B detects that the user has entered an arbitrary menu in which a screen scroll event may occur. Here, the arbitrary menus include menus that cannot display all information on a screen, such as a phone book, sound source playback, and an image display. In this regard, it is assumed that the phone book menu is entered in FIG. 6. The user interface operator 160B then sets the touch pressure to determine the scroll speed.

In FIG. 6, when the user touches the soft key 620 for scrolling the phonebook screen upward, a corresponding touch signal is generated and transmitted to the controller 160. The touch pressure extractor 160A extracts the touch pressure from the corresponding touch signal and transmits the touch pressure to the user interface operator 160B. Then, the user interface operator 160B detects the touch pressure transmitted from the touch pressure extractor 160A in step S405. The user interface operator 160B may then obtain information about the touch pressure generated on the touch screen.

In operation S410, the user interface operator 160B checks a scroll speed corresponding to the obtained touch pressure. For example, if the sensed touch pressure is 5, the user interface operator 160B checks the scroll speed corresponding to level 1. In operation S415, the UI interface 160B scrolls the screen upward based on the confirmed scroll speed. In FIG. 6A, it can be seen that the phonebook screen is scrolled upward at a speed corresponding to level 1. FIG.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in operation S420, the UI interface 160B may display a touch pressure indicator 610 linked to the current screen scroll speed (level 1) on one side of the touch screen. The user may visually check the magnitude of the touch pressure applied to the touch screen by using the touch pressure indicator 610. In addition, the user may use the touch pressure indicator 610 to check whether a pressure is applied to the touch screen to the physical impact.

In operation S425, the user interface operator 160B determines whether there is a change in touch pressure. If there is no change, the user interface operator 160B proceeds to step S430 and continues to perform the function. In FIG. 6A, the phonebook screen is scrolled upward at the speed of level 1. FIG.

On the other hand, if there is a change in the touch pressure, the user interface operator 160B determines whether or not the touch is released in step S435. If the touch is released, the UI 160B ends the corresponding function. However, if the touch is not released, the user interface operator 160B proceeds to step S440 to determine whether the touch pressure is increased or decreased.

If the touch pressure is increased, the user interface operator 160B proceeds to step S445 and controls the scroll speed of the screen to be increased. In this case, in order for the user interface operator 160B to detect the increase in the touch, it is assumed that the changed touch pressure intensity is in the range of 11 to 25 as shown in Table 1 below. In this case, as shown in <b> of FIG. 6, the screen scrolling speed of the phone book is increased to a speed corresponding to level 2.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the user interface operator 160B proceeds to step S420 to display the touch pressure indicator 610 in association with the changed screen scrolling speed (level 2).

On the other hand, if the touch pressure is reduced, the user interface operator 160B proceeds to step S450 and controls to reduce the scroll speed of the screen.

The user interface operator 160B repeats the above process, and when the touch is released, the user interface operator 160B ends the performance of the corresponding function.

Meanwhile, although FIG. 6 has been described on the assumption that the soft key 620 for scrolling the screen upward and the soft key 630 for scrolling the lower side are provided separately, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other words, the softkeys for scrolling may be integrated into one, the scrolling speed may be reduced for level 1 and level 2, and the scrolling speed may be increased for level 3 and level 4.

In FIG. 6, an embodiment in which touch pressure determines a screen scrolling speed of a phone book is described. However, as described above, the present invention can be used in any user interface that displays or sets the degree, and FIG. 7 illustrates an embodiment in which touch pressure is linked to the backlight brightness setting of the screen.

7 will be briefly described.

First, in FIG. 7A, it is assumed that the user has touched the softkey 720 for setting the backlight of the screen brightly with a touch pressure of level 4. FIG. The backlight brightness is then brightened at a rate of level 4, and the touch pressure indicator 710 indicates that the current touch pressure corresponds to level 4. As the touch pressure decreases, the speed at which the backlight brightens gradually decreases as described above.

In contrast, in FIG. 7B, it is assumed that the user has touched the softkey 730 to set the level of the level 1 to darken the backlight of the screen. The brightness of the backlight then darkens gradually at the speed of level 1, and the touch pressure indicator 710 indicates that the current touch pressure corresponds to level 1. As the touch pressure increases, the speed at which the backlight darkens gradually increases as described above.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which the user interface operator 160B operates a user interface by determining a screen movement speed of touch pressure according to another embodiment of the present invention. 5 will be referred to in FIG. 5. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment in which a user viewing an image adjusts a position of an image currently displayed.

5 and 8 illustrate an embodiment in which a soft key for performing a function of the portable terminal by changing the degree according to the touch pressure is not provided.

First, in the start step of FIG. 5, the user interface operator 160B detects that the user has entered an arbitrary menu in which a screen moving event may occur. Here, the arbitrary menu may be an image display menu, which is illustrated in <a> of FIG. 8. 8A illustrates an embodiment in which only an image corresponding to the image display area 810 is displayed 815 on the touch screen when the entire image 805 cannot be displayed on the touch screen. In this case, the user needs to move the position of the screen to observe the entire image.

In operation S505, the UI interface 160B initiates a soft key for screen movement when a touch event occurs in an arbitrary area of the touch screen. This is illustrated in <b> of FIG. 8, and is a direction for moving the screen to an upper 825a, lower 825c, left 825b, and right 825d centered on an arbitrary area 820 touched by a user. Softkeys are initiated. Although the embodiment has been described above in which the direction softkey is disclosed, the softkey does not necessarily need to be disclosed. For example, the moving direction of the screen may be determined by determining whether the area touched later corresponds to any of up, down, left, and right directions based on an arbitrary area 820 first touched.

Meanwhile, when the user selects and touches any direction among the direction softkeys for moving the screen, the user interface operator 160B extracts the touch pressure and the moving direction of the screen from the received touch signal in step S510. The user interface operator 160B may extract a moving direction of the screen by using the touched direction softkey or the moving direction of the touch. In addition, the user interface operator 160B checks the screen moving speed corresponding to the corresponding touch pressure.

In operation S520, the UI interface 160B controls to move the current screen position according to the checked screen moving speed and moving direction. As shown in <c> of FIG. 8, when the user touches the softkey 825a at a pressure corresponding to level 1, the current screen moves upward.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the user interface operator 160B may display the touch pressure indicator 830 linked to the current screen moving speed (level 1) on one side of the touch screen in operation S525.

In operation S530, the UI interface 160B determines whether there is a change in touch pressure. If there is no change, the user interface operator 160B proceeds to step S535 and continues to perform the function.

On the other hand, if there is a change in the touch pressure, the user interface operator 160B proceeds to step S540 to determine whether the screen movement direction is changed. If the screen movement direction is not changed, the user interface operator 160B proceeds to step S545 and maintains the current screen movement direction. On the other hand, if the screen movement direction is changed, the user interface operator 160B proceeds to step S550 and changes the screen movement direction according to the changed direction.

In operation S555, the user interface operator 160B determines whether the touch is released. If the touch is released, the user interface operator 160B ends the execution of the corresponding function. On the other hand, if the touch is not released, the user interface operator 160B proceeds to step S560 to determine the increase or decrease of the touch pressure.

If the touch pressure is increased, the flow proceeds to step S565 to increase the moving speed of the screen in the corresponding direction. On the other hand, if the touch pressure is reduced, the flow proceeds to step S570 to reduce the moving speed of the screen in the corresponding direction.

Referring to <d> of FIG. 8, when the pressure of the user touching the softkey 825a is increased to a pressure corresponding to level 2, the user interface operator 160B may level the moving speed toward the upper side of the current screen. Increase at a speed equal to 2.

The user interface operator 160B proceeds to step S525 to display the touch pressure indicator 830 in association with the changed screen moving speed (level 2), which is illustrated in FIG.

Meanwhile, FIG. 8E illustrates a case where the touch pressure and the screen movement direction are changed during the screen movement. At any point in time, if the user touches the softkey 825d with a level 3 pressure, the user interface operator 160B increases the speed of movement to the right of the current screen to a level corresponding to level 3.
