When the touch screen is capacitive, the proximity sensor 141 may be configured to detect the proximity of an object having conductivity by a change in an electric field according to the proximity of the object. In this case, the touch screen (or touch sensor) itself may be classified as a proximity sensor.

On the other hand, for convenience of description, the act of approaching an object on the touch screen without contacting it so that the object is recognized that it is located on the touch screen is called “proximity touch”, and the touch The act of actually touching an object on the screen is called "contact touch". The position where the object is touched in proximity on the touch screen means a position where the object is perpendicular to the touch screen when the object is touched in proximity.

The ultrasonic sensor may recognize position information of a sensing target by using ultrasonic waves. Meanwhile, the controller 180 may calculate the position of the wave source through information sensed by the optical sensor and the plurality of ultrasonic sensors. The position of the wave source may be calculated using the property that light is much faster than ultrasonic waves, that is, the time at which light arrives at the optical sensor is much faster than the time at which ultrasonic waves reach the ultrasonic sensor. More specifically, the position of the wave source may be calculated using a time difference from the time that the ultrasonic wave arrives using light as a reference signal.

More specifically, the photo sensor mounts a photo diode and TR (transistor) in rows/columns and scans the contents placed on the photo sensor using an electrical signal that changes according to the amount of light applied to the photo diode. That is, the photo sensor calculates the coordinates of the sensing target according to the amount of change in light, and through this, location information of the sensing target can be obtained.

Next, a communication system that can be implemented through the terminal 100 according to the present invention will be described.

First, the communication system may use different air interfaces and/or physical layers. For example, the air interfaces available by a communication system include Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). ), Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS) (especially Long Term Evolution (LTE), Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A)), Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), etc. may be included.

Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the description will be limited to CDMA. However, it is apparent that the present invention can be applied to all communication systems including CDMA wireless communication systems as well as OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) wireless communication systems.

A CDMA wireless communication system includes at least one terminal, at least one base station (Base Station, BS (also referred to as Node B or Evolved Node B)), at least one base station controller (Base Station Controllers, BSCs), and mobile It may include a switching center (Mobile Switching Center, MSC). The MSC is configured to be connected to a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and BSCs. BSCs may be connected in pairs with a BS through a backhaul line. The backhaul line may be provided according to at least one of E1/T1, ATM, IP, PPP, Frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL, and xDSL. Accordingly, a plurality of BSCs may be included in a CDMA wireless communication system.

Each of the plurality of BSs may include at least one sector, and each sector may include an omni-directional antenna or an antenna pointing in a specific radial direction from the BS. In addition, each sector may include two or more antennas of various types. Each BS may be configured to support multiple frequency assignments, and each of the multiple frequency assignments may have a specific spectrum (eg, 1.25 MHz, 5 MHz, etc.).

The intersection of sector and frequency allocation may be referred to as a CDMA channel. BSs may be referred to as Base Station Transceiver Subsystems (BTSs). In this case, one BSC and at least one BS may be collectively referred to as a “base station”. A base station may also refer to a “cell site”. Alternatively, each of a plurality of sectors for a specific BS may be referred to as a plurality of cell sites.

A broadcast transmitter (BT) transmits a broadcast signal to terminals operating in a system. The broadcast reception module 111 shown in FIG. 1 is provided in the terminal 100 to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by BT.

In addition, a global positioning system (GPS) for confirming the location of the terminal 100 may be linked to the CDMA wireless communication system. The satellite helps to determine the location of the terminal 100 . Useful location information may be obtained by two or fewer or more satellites. Here, the location of the terminal 100 may be tracked using not only the GPS tracking technology but also all techniques capable of tracking the location. In addition, at least one of the GPS satellites may optionally or additionally be responsible for satellite DMB transmission.

The location information module 115 provided in the terminal 100 is for detecting, calculating, or identifying the location of the terminal 100. Representative examples include a GPS (Global Position System) module and a WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) module. can If necessary, the location information module 115 may perform any function of the other modules of the wireless communication unit 110 to obtain data on the location of the terminal 100 as a substitute or additionally.

The GPS module 115 calculates distance information and accurate time information from three or more satellites, and then applies trigonometry to the calculated information to accurately calculate three-dimensional current location information according to latitude, longitude, and altitude. can Currently, a method of calculating position and time information using three satellites and correcting errors in the calculated position and time information using another one satellite is widely used. In addition, the GPS module 115 may calculate the speed information by continuously calculating the current location in real time. However, it is difficult to accurately measure the location of the terminal using the GPS module in the shaded area of the satellite signal such as indoors. Accordingly, in order to compensate for positioning by the GPS method, a WiFi Positioning System (WPS) may be utilized.

A Wi-Fi positioning system (WPS: WiFi Positioning System) uses a WiFi module provided in the terminal 100 and a wireless AP (Wireless Access Point) that transmits or receives a wireless signal with the WiFi module, the location of the terminal 100 As a technology for tracking , it refers to a wireless local area network (WLAN)-based positioning technology using WiFi.

The Wi-Fi location tracking system may include a Wi-Fi positioning server, the terminal 100, a wireless AP connected to the terminal 100, and a database in which arbitrary wireless AP information is stored.

The terminal 100 connected to the wireless AP may transmit a location information request message to the Wi-Fi location location server.

The Wi-Fi positioning server extracts information on the wireless AP connected to the terminal 100 based on the location information request message (or signal) of the terminal 100 . Information on the wireless AP connected to the terminal 100 may be transmitted to the Wi-Fi positioning server through the terminal 100 or may be transmitted from the wireless AP to the Wi-Fi positioning server.

Based on the location information request message of the terminal 100, the extracted wireless AP information is MAC Address, SSID (Service Set IDentification), RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator), RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power), RSRQ (Reference Signal) Received Quality), channel information, Privacy, Network Type, signal strength, and noise strength may be at least one.

As described above, the Wi-Fi positioning server may receive information on the wireless AP connected to the terminal 100 and extract wireless AP information corresponding to the wireless AP to which the terminal is connected from a pre-established database. At this time, the information of arbitrary wireless APs stored in the database includes MAC Address, SSID, channel information, Privacy, Network Type, latitude and longitude coordinates of the wireless AP, the name of the building where the wireless AP is located, the number of floors, and detailed indoor location information (GPS coordinates). available), the AP owner's address, phone number, and the like. In this case, in order to remove a mobile AP or a wireless AP provided using an illegal MAC address in the positioning process, the Wi-Fi positioning server may extract only a predetermined number of wireless AP information in order of increasing RSSI.

Thereafter, the Wi-Fi positioning server may extract (or analyze) the location information of the terminal 100 using at least one wireless AP information extracted from the database. By comparing the included information with the received wireless AP information, location information of the terminal 100 is extracted (or analyzed).

As a method for extracting (or analyzing) the location information of the terminal 100, a Cell-ID method, a fingerprint method, a triangulation method, and a landmark method may be utilized.

The Cell-ID method is a method of determining the location of a wireless AP having the strongest signal strength among nearby wireless AP information collected by the terminal as the location of the terminal. It has the advantages of being simple to implement, not requiring additional cost, and being able to quickly obtain location information, but has a disadvantage in that the positioning accuracy is lowered when the installation density of the wireless AP is low.

The fingerprint method is a method of collecting signal strength information by selecting a reference position in a service area, and estimating the position through signal strength information transmitted from a terminal based on the collected information. In order to use the fingerprint method, it is necessary to make a database of propagation characteristics in advance.

The triangulation method is a method of calculating the position of a terminal based on the coordinates of at least three wireless APs and the distance between the terminals. In order to measure the distance between the terminal and the wireless AP, the signal strength is converted into distance information, the time at which a wireless signal is transmitted (Time of Arrival, ToA), the time difference of the signal is transmitted (Time Difference of Arrival, TDoA), The angle at which the signal is transmitted (Angle of Arrival, AoA) may be used.

The landmark method is a method of measuring the location of a terminal using a landmark transmitter that knows the location.

In addition to the enumerated methods, various algorithms may be utilized as a method for extracting (or analyzing) the location information of the terminal.

The location information of the terminal 100 extracted in this way is transmitted to the terminal 100 through the Wi-Fi positioning server, so that the terminal 100 can acquire the location information.

The terminal 100 may acquire location information by being connected to at least one wireless AP. In this case, the number of wireless APs required to acquire the location information of the terminal 100 may be variously changed according to the wireless communication environment in which the terminal 100 is located.

Meanwhile, various embodiments below may be implemented in a computer-readable recording medium using, for example, software, hardware, or a combination thereof.
