System for driving device through touch input in low-power mode in which display is turned off

Abstract

The present invention relates, in general, to a system and a method for quickly driving a device through a touch input in a low power mode in which a display of the device is off. More particularly, the present invention relates to a device driving system and a device driving method, which can minimize power consumption through only a predetermined touch input in a low power mode in which a display of a device is off, and quickly perform unlocking of the device, system control or execution of an application.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for quickly driving a device through touch input in a low power consumption mode in which the display of the device is turned off, and in particular to a device driving system and a method thereof, which, in a low power consumption mode in which the display is turned off, Quickly perform unlocking, system control, or application execution while minimizing power consumption through pre-programmed touch input only; in low-power modes with the display turned off, analysis users can be minimized by executing The low-power algorithm of the touch input algorithm limits the effective touch area of ​​the touch panel to a certain area of ​​the panel, minimizing the number of scans or changing the effective touch area of ​​the touch panel in normal mode and low power mode The touch input method under the low power consumption mode can minimize the power consumption in the low power consumption mode; it can enabl...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] First, when the device is in a low-power state (low-power mode), it must be changed to the use mode through a physical button

When the user needs to use an application, it is ready to input on the touch screen, but due to the existence of physical buttons (or software buttons), additional operations are required

[0007] Second, when the device is in a low power consumption state, in order to execute the desired application, the user needs to go through too many processes

For example, when a smartphone user wants to use the camera application to take pictures of a beautiful scene, the process required to drive the camera application is cumbersome and takes a long time, and may miss the desired scene

[0008] Third, the control of the low-power background application or system control of the device requires users to use buttons or screens, which is very inconvenient

This not only requires the power required to turn on the screen, but also needs to complete the above-mentioned various processes, so it is very complicated

[0009] Fourth, for other various system controls, prior art devices require button input

Such a physical button (software button) becomes a big constraint point in the design of the device, for example, hinders the aesthetic factor of the design, and becomes an obstacle in terms of waterproof design, etc.

[0010] Fifth, for users (children, elderly) who are not familiar with how to use the touch screen, the execution of the application is very unfamiliar

[0013] The unlocking method of the device (electronic device) disclosed in the above (patent document) also needs to unlock the device when an on (on) touch input is detected in the state where the switch image in the off state is displayed on the display. The method also has the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. In the low power consumption mode, other display on (on) processes are required to perform system control after unlocking, and it also needs to go through a cumbersome and complicated process.
