Accordingly, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the following description of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure is provided for illustration purpose only and not for the purpose of limiting the present disclosure as defined by the claims and their equivalents.

The present invention can be implemented in electronic devices including mobile terminals such as smartphones and mobile telecommunication terminals. Hereinafter, a portable terminal is used as an example of the electronic device.

The present disclosure relates to a mobile terminal for installing a motion measurement sensor and performing screen unlocking based on motion information of the terminal measured by the installed motion measurement sensor and method thereof.

FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of a mobile terminal performing screen unlocking based on motion according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the mobile terminal 100 may include a motion measurement unit 110 , a motion pattern memory 120 , a controller 130 , a touch pattern memory 140 , a touch pattern comparator 150 , and an image execution unit 160 . Here, the mobile terminals may include not only personal digital assistants (PDAs), cellular phones, smart phones, notebook computers, tablet computers, etc. classified for each terminal type, but also mobile communication terminals such as personal communication Service (PCS) phones, Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) phones, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) phones, CDMA-2000 phones, Mobile Broadband System (MBS) phones, etc.), also includes such as MP3 players, portable A mobile terminal such as a multimedia player (PMP), a handheld game console (PSP), etc., wherein the mobile terminal can reproduce moving pictures or sounds, or install applications such as games, thereby producing moving pictures or sounds or executing actions such as games application. A touch detection display (not shown) may be included in the mobile terminal. Touch detection displays may also be referred to as touch sensitive displays or touch screens or displays.

The motion measurement unit 110 may measure the direction of motion of the mobile terminal 100 and the relative speed of the mobile terminal 100 using a motion measurement sensor such as an inclination sensor, a gravity sensor, a speed sensor, an acceleration sensor, an angular velocity sensor, a gyro sensor, and the like. Change, acceleration, angular velocity, angular acceleration, change in inclination and change in movement distance. For example, when a speed sensor is used, the actual measurement time for the measured speed may be used to calculate the change amount of the moving distance, and the acceleration may be calculated based on the change amount of the speed per unit time. The motion measurement method using the motion measurement sensor uses a known method, and a detailed description thereof is omitted.

The motion pattern memory 120 stores motion patterns set for the mobile terminal 100 . For example, as shown in FIG. 2 , the motion pattern memory 120 can set the x-axis method about the front-rear direction of the screen, the y-axis direction of the left-right direction, the vertical direction of the z-axis of the up-down direction as basic directions, and set and store the motion mode, in which the movement mode is executed sequentially for the set basic directions in the order of positive x-axis direction-negative x-axis direction-negative z-axis direction-positive y-axis direction.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3 , the motion pattern storage 120 may store the left and right rotation directions around the x-axis about the front-back direction of the mobile terminal, the left-hand rotation direction and the right rotation direction around the y-axis about the left-right direction of the mobile terminal 100. The right rotation direction, and the left rotation direction and the right rotation direction around the z-axis about the up and down directions of the mobile terminal 100 are set as basic directions, and a motion pattern is set and stored in which sequentially performed for the set basic directions Rotate right around the x-axis - rotate left around the x-axis - rotate left around the z-axis - rotate right around the y-axis.

In addition, the motion pattern memory 120 may combine the vertical direction of FIG. 2 and the rotational direction of FIG. Store sport modes. Such a motion pattern may be set and stored when the mobile terminal 100 is manufactured, and may be implemented such that the motion pattern can be set, changed, or deleted by a user.

The motion pattern of the electronic device may include at least two continuous motion patterns.

The controller 130 compares the motion of the mobile terminal 110 measured by the motion measurement unit 110 with the motion pattern stored in the motion pattern memory 120 . When the motion of the mobile terminal 110 coincides with the motion pattern stored in the motion pattern memory 120, the controller 130 may unlock the screen of the mobile terminal.

In performing screen unlocking using motion of the mobile terminal 100, the controller 130 may control the image performing unit 160 to display an image of opening a door on the screen. For example, when performing screen lock, the controller 130 may control the image performing unit 160 to display an image of a closed door on the screen, and may display a message saying "please open the door", or input a voice message. In an example where the user moves the mobile device 100 (such as turning the handle of a door to push or pull the door), when the motion of the mobile terminal 100 is consistent with the set motion pattern, the controller 130 may control to display an image of the door opening on the screen. , and can output a message saying "the door has been opened" or a voice message saying "the door has been opened". At this time, images displayed on the mobile terminal 100 may vary variously according to motion patterns stored in the motion pattern memory 120 . For example, an image of a sliding door may be displayed when the motion pattern begins to move left or right in a vertical direction. When the motion pattern starts to go up or down in the vertical direction, an image of sliding the door along the upper or lower side may be displayed. When the motion of the mobile terminal 100 measured by the motion measurement unit 110 coincides with the motion pattern stored in the motion pattern memory 120 with respect to the image displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 100, the controller 130 may control the image execution unit 160 to perform the display. The screen of the operation of opening the door on the mobile terminal 100, and simultaneously controls to unlock the screen.

The image performing unit 160 may display an image for screen unlocking of the terminal 100 on the touch screen. When a response signal is received via the touch screen in response to the displayed image, the controller 130 may control the motion measurement unit 110 to measure the motion of the mobile terminal 100 . For example, the image execution unit 160 may display a door image 410 , a key image 420 , a handle image 430 , and a keyhole image 440 on the touch screen as shown in FIG. 4 . When the user drags the key image 420 via the touch screen to insert the key 420 into the key hole 440 , the controller 130 may control the motion measurement unit 110 to measure the motion of the mobile terminal 100 . In this example, when the user inserts the key 420 into the key hole 440 via the touch screen, the controller 130 may display an image of the key 420 being inserted into the key hole 440 . When the key 420 is inserted, when a motion pattern of rotating the key counterclockwise and a motion pattern of rotating the handle 430 in a set direction are measured by the motion measurement unit 110 as shown in FIG. 4 , the controller 130 may perform screen unlocking. Alternatively, the image performing unit 160 may display a door image 510 , a card key image 520 , a handle image 530 and a card key insertion hole image 540 as shown in FIG. 5 . When the user inserts the card key 520 into the card key insertion hole 540 via the touch screen, the controller 130 may control the motion measurement unit 110 to measure the motion of the terminal 100 . In this case, when the front portion of the card key 520 coincides with the card key insertion hole 540 , the controller 130 may display an image that the card key 520 is inserted into the card key insertion hole 540 . When a motion pattern of rotating the handle 530 in a set direction is measured, the controller 130 may perform screen unlocking. Through this, it is possible to prevent measurement of motion of the terminal 100 and execution failure of performing screen unlocking when the user does not desire the screen unlocking.

The images shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 and their descriptions are provided only for the illustrative purpose of easy understanding of the present disclosure, and an operation for explaining display of an image performing screen unlocking or measurement of motion of the motion measurement unit 110 may be performed in each way is modified.

As described above, the motion of the terminal can be measured using a motion measurement sensor installed on the mobile terminal, and the screen unlock can be unlocked based on the measured motion, so that a more intuitive and convenient user interface can be provided to the user.

Meanwhile, a screen unlocking function based on a motion of the mobile terminal 100 may be used in conjunction with touch pattern determination. For example, as shown in FIG. 6 , the touch pattern memory 140 may store a touch pattern set by the user, and the touch pattern comparator 150 may compare the touch pattern input by the user on the screen of the mobile terminal 100 with the touch pattern stored in the touch pattern memory 140. Touch patterns for comparison. In this example, when the touch pattern input by the user on the screen is consistent with the touch pattern stored in the touch pattern memory 140, the controller 130 may control the image execution unit 160 to display the images of the door and the key on the screen of the mobile terminal 100. image, and may output a message instructing to open the door using the displayed key in the form of voice or characters. In addition, when the user drags the key up to the door in response to the output guide message, the controller 130 may output the guide message indicating the movement of the mobile terminal 100 such as "please turn the key to open the door" in the form of voice or characters. Accordingly, the controller 130 may control the motion measurement unit 110 to measure the motion of the mobile terminal 100 by the user to compare the measured motion with the motion pattern stored in the motion pattern memory 120 .

In addition, the controller 130 may control the image performing unit 160 to simultaneously perform the determination of the touch pattern and the display of the images of the door and the key. For example, as shown in FIG. 7 , the controller 130 may allow the door and the key to be displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 100 via the image execution unit 160, and may control the touch pattern comparator 150 to compare the touch pattern that is touched and dragged up by the user to the door image. The movement pattern of the key is compared with the stored touch pattern.

Therefore, the movement of the mobile terminal embodies the images of the door and the key displayed on the mobile terminal to allow the user to have a feeling as if the user actually uses the key to open the door, and to use the mobile terminal intuitively and conveniently.

In addition, the user is authenticated mainly based on the touch pattern, and secondly based on the motion of the mobile terminal, so that the security of personal information stored in the mobile terminal can be more strengthened.

Although not shown, the mobile terminal 100 may further include a touch screen unit (also referred to as a touch detection display, touch sensitive display, touch screen or display), and the touch screen provides an input/output interface between the mobile terminal 100 and a user. That is, the touch screen transmits a user's touch input to the mobile terminal 100 . In addition, the touch screen displays the output of the mobile terminal 100 to the user. That is, the touch screen displays visual output to the user. Such visual output is presented in the form of text, graphics, video, and combinations thereof.

The methods described above in connection with the accompanying drawings of the present invention may be provided as one or more instructions of one or more software modules, or computer programs stored in a memory (not shown) in an electronic device including a mobile terminal.

FIG. 8 illustrates a schematic block diagram of a mobile terminal performing screen unlocking based on motion according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 8 , the mobile terminal 800 may include a motion measurement unit 810 , a motion pattern memory 820 , a controller 830 , a password memory 840 , a password comparator 850 , and an image execution unit 860 . Here, since the functions and operations of the motion measurement unit 810, motion pattern memory 820, and controller 830 are the same as those of the motion measurement unit 110, motion pattern memory 120, and controller 130 of FIG. 1, their detailed descriptions are omitted.

As described above, a touch detection display (not shown) may be included in the mobile terminal. Touch detection displays may also be referred to as touch sensitive displays or touch screens or displays.

The password memory 840 may store a password set by a user. When the screen lock of the mobile terminal 800 is performed, the user may press an input key installed in the mobile terminal 800 or touch an input key displayed on the touch screen to input a password. The password comparator 850 compares the password input by the user with the password stored in the password memory 840 .

In this regard, when the password input by the user coincides with the password stored in the password memory 840, the controller 830 may output a message indicating the movement of the mobile terminal 800, and then, the controller 830 may perform the operation based on the mobile terminal 800 as described above. The movement performs secondary user authentication.

The method described above in connection with FIG. 8 of the present invention may be provided as one or more instructions in one or more software modules, or computer programs stored in a memory (not shown) in an electronic device including a mobile terminal.

FIG. 9 illustrates a screen unlocking method of a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 9 , the motion pattern memory 120 may store a set motion pattern of the mobile terminal 100 ( 910 ). Also, the touch pattern memory 140 may store a touch pattern set by a user ( 920 ). Here, although the storage of the touch pattern is performed after the motion pattern, this is just an example of the order of progress, and the order of progress is not limited thereto.

The image performing unit 160 may display images of doors and keys on the touch screen of the mobile terminal 100 . When the user touches an image displayed on the touch screen, the controller 130 may control the motion measurement unit 110 to measure the motion of the mobile terminal 100 ( 930 ). For example, as shown in FIG. 4 , the image execution unit 160 may display a door image 410 , a key image 420 , a handle image 430 , and a keyhole image 440 on the touch screen. In this example, when the user drags the key image 420 via the touch screen to insert the key 420 into the keyhole 440, the controller 130 may receive a response signal corresponding to the dragging of the key 420 from the touch screen, and accordingly, control the movement The measuring unit 110 measures the movement of the terminal 100 . In this regard, when the user inserts the key 420 into the key hole 440 via the touch screen, the controller 130 may display an image of the key 420 being inserted into the key hole 440 . When a main motion pattern (such as turning the key counterclockwise after the key 420 is inserted) is measured, the controller 130 may perform screen unlocking.

Alternatively, in order to strengthen user authentication for unlocking of the mobile terminal 100, motion patterns may be performed in combination. For example, after the key 420 in FIG. 4 has been inserted into the keyhole 440 , the controller 130 may measure whether the main motion pattern of turning the key counterclockwise has been measured by the motion measurement unit 110 . In an example where a primary motion pattern has been measured, the controller 130 may determine whether a secondary motion pattern of the rotary handle 430 has been measured. In this example, the primary and secondary motion patterns may be distinguished via a sound effect (such as "click") or a message (such as "Primary verification was successful").

Alternatively, the screen unlocking method of a mobile terminal according to the present disclosure may strengthen user authentication by combining a touch pattern and a motion pattern. For example, the touch pattern memory 140 may set and store a touch pattern of dragging the displayed key image 420 up to the key hole 440 as shown in FIG. Compare ( 940 ) with the stored touch pattern. Here, although the display of the door image and the key image and the comparison of the touch patterns have been described by one image, the operation may be performed as a separate process as described in FIG. 6 . Also, the screen executed by the image execution unit 160 is not limited to FIG. 4 , but various modifications are of course possible.

When the touch pattern comparator 150 determines that the motion pattern of the key image coincides with the stored touch pattern ( 950 ), the controller 130 may output a guide message indicating the motion of the mobile terminal 100 ( 960 ).

When the user moves the mobile terminal 100 according to the guidance message, the motion measurement unit 110 measures the motion direction including the motion direction of the motion of the mobile terminal, and the velocity, acceleration, angular velocity, angular acceleration, change amount of inclination, and motion distance with respect to the corresponding motion direction. At least one of the amount of change (970). In this regard, the motion measurement unit 110 may measure motion from a state in which motion is fixed for a set time or longer until motion is fixed again for a set time or longer as one sport mode. Alternatively, the motion measurement unit 110 may determine the start and end of motion using a specific input key or touch of a specific point, or use a preset motion pattern to determine the start and end of motion. In addition to these methods, various modified methods can be applied to the method of determining the start and end, the pattern for recognizing the motion.

When the motion of the user's mobile terminal 100 is consistent with the motion pattern stored in the motion pattern memory 120 (980), the controller 130 may perform a door opening operation on the image displayed by the image execution unit 160, and output a corresponding sound effect or message, thereby performing a screen unlock (990).

Although in FIG. 9, the controller 130 performs a process for comparing a touch pattern with a pre-stored touch pattern, and then measures the motion of the terminal to compare the measured motion with a pre-stored motion pattern, the controller 130 130 may measure the motion of the terminal to compare the measured motion with a pre-stored motion pattern before comparing the touch pattern with the pre-stored touch pattern.

The method described above in connection with FIG. 9 of the present invention may be provided as one or more instructions in one or more software modules, or computer programs stored in a memory (not shown) in an electronic device including a mobile terminal.

FIG. 10 illustrates a screen unlocking method of a mobile terminal according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIGS. 8 and 10 , the motion pattern storage 820 may store motion patterns set for the mobile terminal 800 ( 1010 ). In addition, the password storage 840 may store a password set by a user (1020). Here, although the drawing shows that the storage of the password is performed after the exercise mode, this is only an example of the order of execution, and the order of execution is not limited thereto.

The image execution unit 860 may display an image of a sliding door on the screen of the mobile terminal 800, or display an image of an input keypad for inputting numbers and letters of a password and an image of a sliding door (1030). In this regard, the image of the door that can be displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 800 is of course not limited to the image of the sliding door.

When the user inputs a password via an input key installed in the mobile terminal 800 or touches an input keypad image to input a password, the password comparator 850 may compare the input password with a password stored in the password memory 840 ( 1040 ).

When the input password coincides with the stored password (1050), the controller 830 may input a guide message indicating the movement of the mobile terminal 800 (1060). Here, although the drawing shows that an image of a sliding door is displayed according to the user's password input and then a guide message indicating movement is output, the mobile terminal may receive the password from the user, and when the input password matches the stored password, the mobile terminal may Output the image and guidance message of the sliding door.

When the user moves the mobile terminal 800 according to the guidance message, the motion message unit 810 measures parameters including the motion direction of the motion of the mobile terminal 800, the speed, acceleration, angular velocity, angular acceleration, change in gradient, and motion distance of the mobile terminal 800. At least one of the amount of change (1070).

When the motion of the user's mobile terminal 800 is consistent with the motion pattern stored in the motion pattern memory 820 (1080), the controller 830 may perform an operation of opening the sliding door on the image displayed by the image execution unit 860, and output a corresponding sound effect or message, thereby performing screen unlocking (1090).

The method described above in connection with FIG. 10 of the present invention may be provided as one or more instructions in one or more software modules, or computer programs stored in a memory (not shown) in an electronic device including a mobile terminal.

11 and 12 together illustrate an example of a touch screen according to a degree of motion of a mobile terminal used in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Here, a mobile terminal is an example of an electronic device.

FIG. 11 shows a touch screen image, and FIG. 12 shows the degree of flipping of screen pages in the touch screen image according to the degree of motion of the mobile terminal.

In the locked state, a touchscreen image representing the locked state is displayed. The mobile terminal stores predefined touch gestures for unlocking the locked screen image. The touch gesture may be a single touch or a single gesture held for a predetermined period of time.

When a motion of the mobile terminal corresponding to a predetermined motion is detected while, for example, a single touch is maintained, unlocking of the screen of the mobile terminal may be performed. The predetermined motion may be a motion performed by the user's hand in an up, down, right, or left direction or a combination of these directions. The mobile terminal can be rotated using the user's elbow as an axis. In mobile terminals, a gyro sensor is used to detect rotation of the mobile terminal.

When the touch on the touch screen is maintained for a predetermined time, the user lifts the mobile terminal with an elbow to unlock the screen of the mobile terminal. That is, when the mobile terminal moves upward in a motion such as a rotation while the touch on the touch screen is maintained, unlocking of the screen of the mobile terminal may be performed.

Also, when the touch on the touch screen is maintained for a predetermined time, the user lifts the mobile terminal with the elbow and releases the touch to unlock the screen of the mobile terminal. That is, when the mobile terminal moves upward in a motion such as rotation when a touch on the touch screen is held and then the touch is released, unlocking of the screen of the mobile terminal may be performed.

The embodiments of FIGS. 11 and 12 according to the present invention can be described in another way as follows.

Turning of a page showing a touch screen image according to the degree of motion of the mobile terminal 100 measured by the motion measurement unit 110 is shown. The unlocking of the screen of the mobile terminal may be performed by the degree of motion of the mobile terminal. In addition, the degree of turning of the pages of the touch screen image may conform to the motion of the mobile terminal. For example, if the degree of motion of the mobile terminal is 1/4 of the required motion, 1/4 of the screen pages may be flipped. As shown in FIG. 11, this means that 3/4 of the lock screen page 1110 can be displayed, and 1/4 of the main page (or a page representing priority execution before the page is locked) 1120 can be displayed on the lock screen. under. In this way, as shown in FIG. 12, if the degree of motion of the mobile terminal is 1/2 of the required motion, 1/2 of the screen pages may be flipped. This means that 1/2 of the lock screen page 1210 can be displayed, and 1/2 of the main page (or the page representing the priority execution before the page is locked) 1220 can be displayed below the lock screen. However, it is also possible to set such a condition: only when the movement of the mobile terminal is fully executed according to a predetermined method, the locked screen pages 1110, 1210 can completely disappear, and the main page (or the page that represents the priority execution before the page is locked) 1120, 1220 may be fully displayed.

Also, a touch on the touch detection display in a predetermined manner by, for example, a finger (F) may be used as another prior requirement to unlock the screen of the mobile terminal using the degree of motion of the mobile terminal. The first touch may use examples described in the specification with reference to other drawings. For example, the first touch may be a first gesture including touching and dragging of the touch from the touched point to a predetermined position as shown in FIGS. 4 , 5 , 6 and 7 . Also, the first touch may include multi-touch.

Therefore, a time to hold before the movement of the mobile terminal may be required. For example, the movement of the mobile terminal may need to be within a predetermined period of time, eg, two or three seconds. If there is no motion of the mobile terminal, a request for an input requiring the first touch again may be displayed on the touch detection display. That is, when the electronic device with the touch detection display is in the user interface locked state, the image is displayed on the touch detection display. The image may be the image shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5 . Subsequently, if an image contact on the touch detection display is detected according to a predetermined pattern, such as moving the image to a predetermined position or a predetermined touch pattern as shown in FIG. 6 , the controller (microprocessor) 830 controls to display A message requesting the motion of the electronic device or a voice requesting the motion of the electronic device is output. In addition, after the motion of the mobile terminal, or at substantially the same time as the motion of the mobile terminal, release of touch (image contact) for unlocking of the screen of the mobile terminal may also be required.

Regarding the motion of the mobile terminal, a first motion pattern of the mobile terminal is detected, and if the first motion pattern corresponds to a second motion pattern stored in the mobile terminal, and the image contact is also released, screen unlocking of the mobile terminal is performed. Here, after detecting the first movement pattern corresponding to the second movement pattern stored in the mobile terminal, the release of the image contact may be performed, or after detecting the second movement pattern corresponding to the mobile terminal. At substantially the same time as the first motion pattern, release of the image contact may be performed. In addition, when the first motion pattern corresponds to the second motion pattern, the mobile terminal may output a sound effect corresponding to the user interface unlock state, and when the first motion pattern of the mobile terminal does not correspond to a predetermined motion pattern, the mobile terminal may output Sound effects corresponding to the UI lock state.
