1 is a block diagram of a control device 100 for a smart clock according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The smart watch control apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention inputs position change information obtained from at least one of the speed change detection sensor 150, the inclination angle detection sensor 160 and the gyroscope sensor 170 A reference direction setting unit 120 for calculating normal direction information of a display for displaying contents based on the position change information and storing the normal direction information as a reference direction value, A user direction setting unit 130 for calculating and setting a front direction value of the user's gaze, and a control unit 140 for controlling the operation of the smart clock based on the reference direction value and the front direction value.

Referring to FIG. 1, the smart watch control apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a speed change detection sensor 150 that can detect a speed change of a smart clock such as an acceleration sensor, a smart An input unit 110 for receiving measurement results from at least one sensor among the sensors for measuring rotation, inclination and angle change of the smart clock such as the inclination angle sensor 160 for measuring the degree of inclination of the clock and the gyroscope sensor 170 ).

The smart clock control device 100 receives the position change information of the smart clock from the input unit 110 and calculates the normal direction of the display unit such as a display capable of displaying the content in the smart clock to obtain information on the normal direction And a reference direction setting unit 120 for setting and updating the reference direction value of the smart clock.

Here, the information on the normal direction may be information on a direction orthogonal to the surface of the display on which the contents of the smart clock are displayed. For example, when the smart watch is worn on the user's wrist, It is possible to set the normal direction of the outward direction as the reference direction value instead of the contact direction.

The reference direction value may be set as a vector value for the direction and may be set to a coordinate value indicating the direction in space.

In addition, the user direction setting unit 130 may receive the above-described position change information and calculate and store the front direction value with respect to the direction in which the user's gaze is directed.

For example, the front direction value of the user's gaze may be calculated by calculating the movement pattern of the smart clock based on the position change information of the smart clock, Information about the front direction of the user can be set as the front direction value.

The frontal direction value may be set as a vector value for the direction and may be set to a coordinate value indicating the direction in space.

For example, the control unit 140 receives the reference direction value of the smart clock from the reference direction setting unit 120, receives the front direction value of the user from the user direction setting unit 130, So that the operation of various devices such as a display power source of a smart clock, a camera, a microphone, and the like can be controlled by determining whether the display unit of the smart clock is oriented in the direction of the user's eyesight.

The smart clock in this specification refers to a mobile terminal that can be worn on the body of a user and may refer to various devices having a display for communicating with a base station or other terminal even if they do not necessarily have a clock function .

In addition, when the smart watch is mounted on the wrist of a user, the smart watch can be worn without discriminating between the left and right hands, and the same function can be implemented through setting or the like regardless of which hand is worn.

2 is a flowchart of a reference direction setting unit 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The reference direction setting unit 120 calculates the normal direction information of the display and updates the reference direction value when the acceleration change of the smart clock is equal to or greater than the first reference value based on the position change information, .

Referring to FIG. 2, the reference direction setting unit 120 receives information related to a position change of the smart clock from the input unit 110 (S200), and generates a reference clock based on the speed change information The acceleration change value may be extracted and compared with a preset first reference value (S202).

For example, when the acceleration change value of the smart clock is determined to be equal to or greater than a predetermined first reference value through an experiment or the like, the reference direction setting unit 120 sets the normal direction of the display perpendicular to the surface of the display (S204), and the calculated normal direction is set as a reference direction value and stored (S206).

If the acceleration change value of the smart clock is less than the first reference value, information related to the position change is input from the input unit 110 (S200), and the above-described steps can be repeated.

Accordingly, the reference direction setting unit 120 measures the change of the reference direction value by calculating the reference direction value by continuously calculating the normal direction when a change occurs in the position of the smart clock, Can be updated and stored.

In addition, it is possible to save the energy of the smart clock by measuring the normal direction and setting the reference direction value only when an acceleration change of a certain level or more occurs.

3 is a diagram illustrating a reference direction of the smart watch 310 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

3, when the smart clock 310 is worn on the right hand of the user, the direction orthogonal to the surface of the display on which the content is displayed is in the normal direction And when the normal direction information is calculated, the reference direction value can be determined based on the normal direction information.

For example, when the normal direction is calculated and the reference direction value is set, the reference direction setting unit 120 sets a new reference direction value < RTI ID = 0.0 > The normal direction can be calculated.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a user orientation setting unit 130 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The user direction setting unit 130 calculates a movement pattern of the smart clock 410 based on the position change information and sets the movement pattern and the movement pattern of the smart clock 410 according to the movement pattern of the smart clock 410 The stored user front direction information may be compared with each other and the specific front direction information mapped to the movement pattern of the smart clock 410 may be set as the front direction value of the user.

In addition, the user's front direction information set and stored for each movement pattern of the smart clock 410 may be a preset value or a value set and stored according to the user's motion pattern input information.

4, the user direction setting unit 130 receives the position change information of the smart clock from the input unit 110 and obtains the movement pattern of the smart clock 410 as shown in FIG. 4 (A) # 1 can be calculated.

In this case, when the movement pattern # 1 of the smart clock 410 occurs as shown in FIG. 4 (A), the user orientation setting unit 130 can recognize that the user is walking forward, 1 and the acceleration change information or the like can be set in the user front direction.

Also, the user direction setting unit 130 may set the user's front direction value by checking the user's front direction information previously mapped to the movement pattern # 1.

In this case, the smart clock 410 is worn on the wrist, thereby generating limited movement patterns due to physical restrictions such as the radius of rotation of the wrist and the elbow and the bending direction.

Accordingly, when the movement pattern # 1 is generated based on the user's front direction information according to the preset and stored movement patterns, the user direction setting unit 130 finds the user's front direction information mapped to the movement pattern # 1, Value.

In addition, for example, when the user does not generate a movement pattern, the 6 o'clock direction of the clock may be set to the front direction of the user, for example, in the case where the user has lowered his or her arm.

Referring to FIG. 4B, the user's front direction information previously mapped according to the movement patterns may be a value previously measured and set according to a movement pattern through an experiment or the like, and the user may execute a specific movement pattern, And may be set and stored by the user's movement pattern input information for inputting the frontal direction value of the pattern.

4B, the user executes a motion such as the motion pattern # 2 in order to input the motion pattern information, directly inputs the user's front direction according to the motion pattern of the motion pattern # 2, have.

In this case, the movement pattern # 2 is stored according to the user's movement pattern input information, and the user's front direction information set by being mapped with the movement pattern # 2 is also mapped with the movement pattern # 2 as the user's front direction information and stored. Then, when the user performs the movement pattern # 2, the user direction setting unit 130 can set the user front direction value mapped according to the user movement pattern input information.

In this way, when the user directly inputs a certain movement pattern, it is possible to set a more accurate frontal direction value for each user, and if an error occurs in the user's frontal direction recognition, an accurate reference to the user's frontal directional value is set There is an effect that can be.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method in which a user direction setting unit 130 sets and stores a user's front direction value according to a movement pattern according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the user direction setting unit 130 receives information related to the position change information from the input unit 110 (S500), and calculates a movement pattern of the smart clock based on the input position change information After the calculation (S502), it is checked whether the calculated movement pattern is mapped to the user's front direction information set in advance or set according to the user's movement pattern input information (S504).

If there is user front direction information to be mapped with the calculated movement pattern, the user direction setting unit 130 may set and store the mapped user front direction information as the front direction value. If the front direction value changes, the new front direction value can be updated and stored.

However, if there is no user front direction information to be mapped to the calculated movement pattern, the user direction setting unit 130 may input new position change information (S500), and then perform the same steps to set the front direction value.

For example, in order to increase the accuracy of the user direction setting of the smart clock, the user direction setting unit 130 may set an allowable error range to be wide when determining whether the movement pattern is mapped to the user's front direction information.

FIG. 6 is an exemplary diagram illustrating that the controller 140 controls the operation of the smart clock 160 based on a reference direction value and a user front direction value according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 140 may control the power of the display to be turned on when the difference between the backward direction value and the reference direction value is within a second reference value.

6, the control unit 140 determines whether or not the user's line of sight is displayed on the basis of the reference direction value and the user's front direction value received from the reference direction setting unit 120 and the user direction setting unit 130 It is possible to check whether the user is in the smart clock 610 and to control the power of the display to be turned on when the user's gaze is in the smart clock 610. [

Specifically, for example, the controller 140 calculates a reverse value of the front direction direction value, determines whether the difference between the reverse direction value and the reference direction value falls within a predetermined second reference value, can do.

When the user directs the display of the smart clock to the face of the user in order to view the smart clock 610 through an experiment or the like, the second reference value may be an angle or a coordinate Can be set to a difference value. The sensitivity of the display operation can be controlled by adjusting the second reference value that is set in advance and the user can directly adjust the second reference value by inputting the sensitivity value.

Although not shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 140 receives the user's gaze information from the camera mounted on the smart clock 610 according to an embodiment of the present invention, It is possible to control the power of the display to be turned off when the distance exceeds a certain range.

That is, for example, when the user's eyes move away from the display periphery where the pupil of the user is set to a certain range by receiving the position information of the pupil of the user from the camera mounted on the front part of the smart clock 610, can do.

The technique of measuring the position information of the user's eyes by the camera can be performed by detecting the light reflected from the iris of the user or by optically detecting the pupil of the user.

In this way, the control unit 140 can further save the power of the smart clock 610 by additionally checking the user's gaze using the camera, and in accordance with the movement of the user, Even when it is judged to be in the visual direction, the smart clock can be controlled to perform correct operation by further confirming.

Although the control unit 140 described above calculates the backward value of the user's frontal direction value to determine the difference from the reference directional value, this is to match the orientation of the user, By determining the difference, the operation of the smart clock can be controlled.

FIG. 7 is an exemplary diagram illustrating that the control unit 140 changes the display content of the smart clock based on the reference direction value and the user front direction value according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the difference between the reverse direction value of the front direction value and the reference direction value is within the third reference value, the control unit 140 may control that the specific content set in the content is displayed on the display .

Referring to FIG. 7, for example, when the user does not see the smart clock, the control unit 140 can control to display the time content so that the function of the clock is implemented. As described above, It is possible to control the content displayed on the display 710 of the smart clock to be displayed by replacing the content displayed on the smart clock with a preset specific content when the difference between the reverse value of the smart clock and the reference direction value is within a predetermined third reference value.

For example, when a message reception event is generated from a terminal such as a smart phone communicating with a smart clock, the user can be notified of the occurrence of an event using at least one of the visual, auditory, and tactile senses, When a user moves the smart clock in the direction of the eye to check the contents of the event, the controller 140 determines whether the difference between the backward direction value of the user's front direction and the reference direction value is within the second reference value Can be displayed on the display (710).

The third reference value may be a value previously set and stored through an experiment or the like and may be set to a value smaller or larger than the second reference value so that the user may view the time content and the content according to the specific event And can be set to be displayed separately.

8 is a diagram exemplarily showing that the control unit 140 displays different contents according to the rotation pattern (1) or (2) of the smart clock 810 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 140 may control to change at least one of the display position and content content of the content displayed on the displays 820 and 830 according to the change pattern of the reference direction value .

In addition, the controller 140 may control to display a specific content when a specific change pattern is generated according to a change pattern of the reference direction value, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

8, the control unit 140 determines a change pattern in which the reference direction value input from the reference direction setting unit 120 changes, and controls the content display position set in accordance with each change pattern to be adjusted It is possible to control the content of the content to be controlled or displayed to change.

For example, the reference direction value of the display of the smart clock 810 of FIG. 8 is set to the direction that is the front direction of the user, that is, the direction that is the normal direction of the display. In this case, when the user rotates the smart clock 810 as shown in Fig. 8 (1), the reference direction value changes along the arrow path in Fig. 8 (1), and the rotation pattern of the reference direction value So that a specific content such as time content can be displayed in the first display area 820. [

On the contrary, when the user rotates the smart clock 810 as shown in (2) of FIG. 8, the reference direction value changes along the arrow path of FIG. 8 (2), and the rotation pattern of the reference direction value is measured So that the content is displayed in the second display area 830. [ In this case, it is also possible to control not only the content display position but also a content different from the case of (1).

The first display area 820 and the second display area 830 may be separately set on the same display or may be separate display devices.

That is, when the user rotates the smart clock 810 and the user turns his or her headlight toward the eye direction, the controller 140 can control the content to be displayed in the first display area 820 set in the backlight part, When the wrist is rotated in the direction opposite to the above-described direction, the content can be controlled to be displayed in the second display area 830 set in the wrist part.

By controlling the control unit 140 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the contents related to the privacy of the user can be set to be displayed in the second display area 830, have.

Further, even if the user rotates the smart clock in any direction, there is an effect that the user can easily confirm the content by changing the display area of the content.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 140 can further control the operation of the microphones mounted on the smart clock based on at least one of the change pattern of the reference direction value and the value of the distance between the smart clock and the user have.

For example, when the change pattern of the reference direction value in (2) of FIG. 8 occurs, the control unit 140 displays the contents related to voice introduction in the second display area 830, So that a microphone capable of inputting voice can be operated.

In this case, it is possible to control the microphone to operate only when the smart clock approaches within a predetermined distance based on the value of the distance measurement between the user and the smart clock by using a distance measuring sensor such as an ultrasonic sensor or a proximity sensor.
