Wireless Internet technologies that can be used include WLAN (Wireless LAN) (Wi-Fi), Wibro (Wireless broadband), Wimax (World Interoperability for Microwave Access), and HSDPA (High Speed ​​Downlink Packet Access).

[0132] A short-range wireless communication module (114) refers to a module for short-range wireless communication. Bluetooth, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), infrared communication (IrDA, infrared Data Association), UWB (Ultra Wideband), ZigBee, etc. can be used as short-range wireless communication technologies.

[0133] The location information module (115) is a module for obtaining the location of a mobile device, and a representative example of this is the GPS (Global Position System) module.

[0134] Referring to FIG. 17, the A / V (Audio / Video) input unit (120) is for inputting audio signals or video signals, and may include a camera (121) and a microphone (122), etc. The camera (121) processes image frames, such as still images or moving images, obtained by an image sensor in video call mode or shooting mode. The processed image frames may be displayed on the display unit (151).

[0135] The image frame processed by the camera (121) can be stored in the memory (160) or transmitted externally via the wireless communication unit (110). Two or more cameras (121) may be provided depending on the usage environment.

[0136] The microphone (122) receives an external sound signal through the microphone in call mode, recording mode, voice recognition mode, etc., and processes it into electrical voice data. The processed voice data can be converted into a form that can be transmitted to a mobile communication base station through the mobile communication module (112) in call mode and output. Various noise removal algorithms can be implemented in the microphone (122) to remove noise generated in the process of receiving an external sound signal.

[0137] The user input unit (130) generates input data for the user to control the operation of the terminal. The user input unit (130) may be composed of a key pad, a dome switch, a touch pad (static / capacitive), a jog wheel, a jog switch, etc.

[0138] The sensing unit (140) detects the current state of the mobile device (100), such as the open / close state of the mobile device (100), the position of the mobile device (100), the presence or absence of user contact, the orientation of the mobile device, acceleration / deceleration of the mobile device, etc., and generates a sensing signal for controlling the operation of the mobile device (100). For example, if the mobile device (100) is in the form of a slide phone, it can sense whether the slide phone is opened or closed. In addition, it can also sense whether power is supplied to the power supply unit (190), whether the interface unit (170) is connected to an external device, etc. Meanwhile, the sensing unit (140) may include a proximity sensor (141).

[0139] The output unit (150) is for generating output related to vision, hearing, or touch, etc., and may include a display unit (151), an audio output module (152), an alarm unit (153), and a haptic module (154).

[0140] The display unit (151) displays (outputs) information processed in the mobile device (100). For example, when the mobile device is in call mode, it displays a UI (User Interface) or GUI (Graphical User Interface) related to the call. When the mobile device (100) is in video call mode or shooting mode, it displays a captured or / and received image or UI or GUI.

[0141] The display unit (151) may include at least one of a liquid crystal display (LCD), a thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a flexible display, and a 3D display.

[0142] Some of these displays may be configured as transparent or light-transmitting, allowing the outside to be seen through them. These may be referred to as transparent displays, and representative examples of such transparent displays include TOLED (Transparant OLED). The rear structure of the display unit (151) may also be configured as a light-transmitting structure. With this structure, a user can view objects located at the rear of the terminal body through the area occupied by the display unit (151) of the terminal body.

[0143] Depending on the implementation form of the mobile device (100), two or more display units (151) may exist. For example, in the mobile device (100), multiple display units may be spaced apart from each other or arranged integrally on one surface, or may be arranged on different surfaces.

[0144] When a display unit (151) and a sensor that detects a touch action (hereinafter referred to as a "touch sensor") form a mutually layered structure (hereinafter referred to as a "touch screen"), the display unit (151) can be used as an input device in addition to an output device. The touch sensor can take the form of, for example, a touch film, a touch sheet, a touch pad, etc.

[0145] The touch sensor may be configured to convert changes in pressure applied to a specific portion of the display unit (151) or electrostatic capacitance occurring in a specific portion of the display unit (151) into an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect not only the location and area of ​​the touch, but also the pressure applied when the touch is made.

[0146] When a touch input is received on the touch sensor, a corresponding signal(s) is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal(s) and then transmits the corresponding data to the control unit (180). This allows the control unit (180) to determine which area of ​​the display unit (151) has been touched, etc.

[0147] A proximity sensor (141) may be placed within the internal area of ​​the mobile device covered by the touch screen or near the touch screen. 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 existing nearby without mechanical contact using the force of an electromagnetic field or infrared rays. Proximity sensors have a longer lifespan and higher utilization than contact sensors.

[0148] Examples of the above proximity sensor (141) include a transmission-type photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection-type photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection-type photoelectric sensor, a high-frequency oscillation-type proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor. When the touch screen is capacitive, it is configured to detect the proximity of the pointer by a change in the electric field according to the proximity of the pointer. In this case, the touch screen (touch sensor) may be classified as a proximity sensor.

[0149] Hereinafter, for the convenience of explanation, an act of bringing a pointer close to the touchscreen without making contact with it so that it is recognized that the pointer is located on the touchscreen is referred to as a "proximity touch," and an act of actually making contact with the touchscreen is referred to as a "contact touch." A position on the touchscreen where a proximity touch is made with a pointer means a position where the pointer corresponds vertically to the touchscreen when the pointer makes a proximity touch.

[0150] The proximity sensor (141) detects proximity touch and proximity touch patterns (e.g., proximity touch distance, proximity touch direction, proximity touch speed, proximity touch time, proximity touch location, proximity touch movement status, etc.). Information corresponding to the detected proximity touch action and proximity touch pattern can be output on the touch screen.

[0151] The audio output module (152) can output audio data received from the wireless communication unit (110) or stored in the memory (160) in a call signal reception mode, call mode or recording mode, voice recognition mode, broadcast reception mode, etc. The audio output module (152) also outputs audio signals related to functions performed in the mobile device (100) (e.g., call signal reception sound, message reception sound, etc.). The audio output module (152) may include a receiver, a speaker, a buzzer, etc.

[0152] The alarm unit (153) outputs a signal to notify the occurrence of an event in the mobile device (100). Examples of events occurring in the mobile device include reception of a call signal, reception of a message, input of a key signal, and touch input. The alarm unit (153) may also output a signal to notify the occurrence of an event in a form other than a video signal or an audio signal, for example, vibration. The video signal or audio signal may also be output through the display unit (151) or the voice output module (152), and thus they (151, 152) may be classified as part of the alarm unit (153).

[0153] The haptic module (154) generates various tactile effects that can be felt by the user. A representative example of the tactile effect generated by the haptic module (154) is vibration. The intensity and pattern of the vibration generated by the haptic module (154) can be controlled. For example, different vibrations can be synthesized and output or output sequentially.

[0154] In addition to vibration, the haptic module (154) can generate various tactile effects, such as effects caused by stimulation such as pin arrangements moving vertically with respect to the contact skin surface, air injection or suction through nozzles or suction ports, brushing against the skin surface, contact with electrodes, electrostatic force, and effects caused by reproduction of hot and cold sensations using elements capable of absorbing or exotherming heat.

[0155] The haptic module (154) can not only transmit tactile effects through direct contact, but can also be implemented so that the user can feel the tactile effects through the muscle senses of the fingers or arms, etc. Two or more haptic modules (154) may be provided depending on the configuration of the mobile device (100).

[0156] The memory (160) can store a program for the operation of the control unit (180), and can also temporarily store input / output data (e.g., phonebook, messages, still images, videos, etc.). The memory (160) can store data regarding various patterns of vibration and sound output when a touch input is made on the touch screen.

[0157] The memory (160) may include at least one type of storage medium among a flash memory type, a hard disk type, a multimedia card micro type, a card type memory (e.g., SD or XD memory, etc.), a random access memory (RAM), a static random access memory (SRAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), a programmable read-only memory (PROM), a magnetic memory, a magnetic disk, and an optical disk. The mobile device (100) may also operate in relation to web storage that performs the storage function of the memory (160) on the internet.

[0158] The interface unit (170) acts as a passageway for all external devices connected to the mobile device (100). The interface unit (170) receives data from the external device, supplies power, and transmits it to each component inside the mobile device (100), or allows data inside the mobile device (100) to be transmitted to the external device.
