Representative sensors among various sensors that may be included in the sensing unit 140 will be described in more detail.

First, the proximity sensor 141 refers to a sensor that detects the presence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface, or the presence of an object in the vicinity of the detection surface, without mechanical contact by using electromagnetic force or infrared rays. The proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in the inner area of the mobile terminal or in proximity to the touch screen, which is covered by the touch screen.

Examples of the 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. In the case where the touch screen is electrostatic, the proximity sensor 141 can be configured to detect the proximity of the object with a change of the electric field along the proximity of the object having conductivity. In this case, the touch screen (or touch sensor) itself may be classified as a proximity sensor.

On the other hand, for convenience of explanation, the act of recognizing that the object is located on the touch screen in proximity with no object touching the touch screen is referred to as "proximity touch & The act of actually touching an object on the screen is called a "contact touch. &Quot; The position at which the object is closely touched on the touch screen means a position where the object corresponds to the touch screen vertically when the object is touched. The proximity sensor 141 can detect a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (e.g., a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, have. Meanwhile, the control unit 180 processes data (or information) corresponding to the proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern sensed through the proximity sensor 141 as described above, and further provides visual information corresponding to the processed data It can be output on the touch screen. Furthermore, the control unit 180 can control the mobile terminal 100 such that different operations or data (or information) are processed according to whether the touch to the same point on the touch screen is a proximity touch or a touch touch .

The touch sensor uses a touch (or touch input) applied to the touch screen (or the display unit 151) by using at least one of various touch methods such as a resistance film type, a capacitive type, an infrared type, an ultrasonic type, Detection.

Here, the touch object may be a finger, a touch pen, a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like as an object to which a touch is applied to the touch sensor.

Thus, when there is a touch input to the touch sensor, the 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. Thus, the control unit 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched or the like. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component from the control unit 180, and may be the control unit 180 itself.

On the other hand, the control unit 180 may perform different controls or perform the same control according to the type of the touch object touching the touch screen (or a touch key provided on the touch screen). Whether to perform different controls or to perform the same control according to the type of the touch object may be determined according to the current state of the mobile terminal 100 or an application program being executed.

Touch can be sensed.

The ultrasonic sensor can recognize the position information of the object to be sensed by using ultrasonic waves. Meanwhile, the controller 180 can calculate the position of the wave generating source through the information sensed by the optical sensor and the plurality of ultrasonic sensors. The position of the wave source can be calculated using the fact that the light is much faster than the ultrasonic wave, that is, the time when the light reaches the optical sensor is much faster than the time the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. More specifically, the position of the wave generating source can be calculated using the time difference with the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the reference signal.

The camera 121 includes at least one of a camera sensor (for example, a CCD, a CMOS, etc.), a photo sensor (or an image sensor), and a laser sensor.

The photosensor can be laminated to the display element, which is adapted to scan the movement of the object to be detected proximate to the touch screen. More specifically, the photosensor mounts photo diodes and TRs (Transistors) in a row / column and scans the contents loaded on the photosensor using an electrical signal that varies according to the amount of light applied to the photo diode. That is, the photo sensor performs coordinate calculation of the object to be sensed according to the amount of change of light, and position information of the object to be sensed can be obtained through the calculation.

For example, wireless interfaces that can be used by a communication system include Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) ), Universal mobile telecommunication systems (UMTS) (in particular Long Term Evolution (LTE), Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A)), Global System for Mobile Communications May be included.

Hereinafter, for the sake of 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 an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) wireless communication system as well as a CDMA wireless communication system.

A CDMA wireless communication system includes at least one terminal 100, at least one base station (BS) (also referred to as a Node B or Evolved Node B), at least one Base Station Controllers (BSCs) , And a Mobile Switching Center (MSC). The MSC is configured to be coupled to a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and BSCs. The BSCs may be paired with the BS via a backhaul line. The backhaul line may be provided according to at least one of E1 / T1, ATM, IP, PPP, Frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL or xDSL. Thus, a plurality of BSCs may be included in a CDMA wireless communication system.

Each of the plurality of BSs may comprise at least one sector, and each sector may comprise an omnidirectional antenna or an antenna pointing to a particular direction of radial emission from the BS. In addition, each sector may include two or more antennas of various types. Each BS may be configured to support a plurality of frequency assignments, and a plurality of frequency assignments may each have a specific spectrum (e.g., 1.25 MHz, 5 MHz, etc.).

The intersection of sector and frequency assignment may be referred to as a CDMA channel. The BS may be referred to as a base station transceiver subsystem (BTSs). In this case, a combination of one BSC and at least one BS may be referred to as a "base station ". The base station may also indicate a "cell site ". Alternatively, each of the plurality of sectors for a particular BS may be referred to as a plurality of cell sites.

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

In addition, a Global Positioning System (GPS) may be associated with the CDMA wireless communication system to identify the location of the mobile terminal 100. The satellite aids in locating the mobile terminal 100. Useful location information may be obtained by two or more satellites. Here, the position of the mobile terminal 100 can be tracked using all the techniques capable of tracking the location as well as the GPS tracking technology. Also, at least one of the GPS satellites may optionally or additionally be responsible for satellite DMB transmissions.

The location information module 115 included in the mobile terminal is for detecting, computing, or identifying the location of the mobile terminal, and may include a Global Position System (GPS) module and a WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) module. Optionally, the location information module 115 may perform any of the other functions of the wireless communication unit 110 to obtain data relating to the location of the mobile terminal, in addition or alternatively.

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 do. At present, a method of calculating position and time information using three satellites and correcting an error of the calculated position and time information using another satellite is widely used. In addition, the GPS module 115 can calculate speed information by continuously calculating the current position in real time. However, it is difficult to accurately measure the position of the mobile terminal by using the GPS module in the shadow area of the satellite signal as in the room. Accordingly, a WPS (WiFi Positioning System) can be utilized to compensate the positioning of the GPS system.

The WiFi Positioning System (WPS) is a system in which a mobile terminal 100 uses a WiFi module included in the mobile terminal 100 and a wireless AP (wireless access point) transmitting or receiving a wireless signal with the WiFi module, Is a technology for tracking a location of a wireless local area network (WLAN) using WiFi.

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

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

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

The information of the wireless AP to be extracted based on the location information request message of the mobile terminal 100 includes a MAC address, an SSID (Service Set IDentification), a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) Reference Signal Received Quality), channel information, Privacy, Network Type, Signal Strength, and Noise Strength.

As described above, the Wi-Fi position location server can receive the information of the wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100 and extract the wireless AP information corresponding to the wireless AP to which the mobile terminal is connected from the pre-established database. In this case, the information of any wireless APs stored in the database includes at least one of MAC address, SSID, channel information, privacy, network type, radius coordinates of the wireless AP, building name, Available), the address of the AP owner, telephone number, and the like. At this time, in order to remove the wireless AP provided using the mobile AP or the illegal MAC address in the positioning process, the Wi-Fi location server may extract only a predetermined number of wireless AP information in order of RSSI.

Then, the Wi-Fi location server can extract (or analyze) the location information of the mobile terminal 100 using at least one wireless AP information extracted from the database. And compares the received information with the received wireless AP information to extract (or analyze) the location information of the mobile terminal 100.

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

The Cell-ID method is a method of determining the position of the mobile station with the strongest signal strength among neighboring wireless AP information collected by the mobile terminal. Although the implementation is simple, it does not cost extra and it can acquire location information quickly, but there is a disadvantage that positioning accuracy is lowered when the installation density of the wireless AP is low.

The fingerprint method collects signal strength information by selecting a reference position in a service area, and estimates the position based on the signal strength information transmitted from the mobile terminal based on the collected information. In order to use the fingerprint method, it is necessary to previously convert the propagation characteristics into a database.

The triangulation method is a method of calculating the position of the mobile terminal based on the coordinates of at least three wireless APs and the distance between the mobile terminals. (Time of Arrival, ToA), Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) in which a signal is transmitted, and the time difference between the wireless AP and the wireless AP, in order to measure the distance between the mobile terminal and the wireless AP. , An angle at which a signal is transmitted (Angle of Arrival, AoA), or the like.

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

Various algorithms can be utilized as a method for extracting (or analyzing) the location information of the mobile terminal.

The location information of the extracted mobile terminal 100 is transmitted to the mobile terminal 100 via the Wi-Fi location server, so that the mobile terminal 100 can acquire the location information.

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

Alternatively, the image can be obtained through photo sharing. Specifically, the control unit 180 can acquire an image through the image retrieval menu 305 of the ingested food information screen 300 shown in FIG. For example, an image may be obtained by requesting another user through the image retrieval menu 305, or an image may be acquired by retrieving an image received from another user in advance. Receiving images from other users may use a Bluetooth connection or an NFC connection.

Alternatively, the control unit 180 may access a web page to acquire an image.

6, the control unit 180 may acquire an image including the nutrition composition table 600 by photographing the nutrition composition table 600 through the photographing menu 304 instead of the food image.

6 is a view for explaining acquisition of a nutrient composition table image according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Control 180 requires a simpler procedure than acquiring a food image when acquiring an image of a nutrition label. Specifically, when a food image is obtained, the food included in the image is recognized, nutrient information corresponding to the recognized food is retrieved from the memory unit 170, or when it is not stored in the memory unit 170, . However, in the case of acquiring an image of the nutrient composition table, the nutrient information can be obtained by recognizing the letter written on the image. For example, when acquiring the image of the nutrition composition table 600 as shown in FIG. 6, the controller 180 consumes 495 kcal of the calories 601 at the date and time when the image is acquired, and 78 g of the carbohydrate 602 , 10 g of protein (603) and 16 g of fat (604). Further, it is obvious that the control unit 180 can acquire more sodium, calcium, and vitamin information besides the listed calorie, carbohydrate, protein, and fat.

4 will be described again.

The control unit 180 receives an instruction to select at least one food included in the acquired food image (S403).

There may be one food in the acquired image, but there may be multiple foods. In addition, if there is a plurality of foods, each food may be a food consumed by the user, but some foods may not be consumed. Accordingly, the control unit 180 may receive an input for selecting at least one of the at least one foods included in the acquired image.

The user can select and input the food that the user has taken from the acquired image.

The selection input may be a touch input for touching the display unit 151. For example, it may be an input lightly depressing the display unit 151, but is not limited thereto, and may be an input for depressing the display unit 151 for a long time.

When receiving the command to select at least one food included in the acquired image, the controller 180 may display information indicating that the selected food is selected for the selected food. For example, the information indicating that it is selected may be a marker for the touched portion, and will be described in detail with reference to Fig.

7 is a view for explaining an operation of receiving an instruction to select at least one food contained in an image obtained according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 7, the controller 180 may display the obtained image 710 on the food selection screen 700 when the image is acquired.

The food selection screen 700 may include an acquired image 710, a selection initialization button 730, and a completion button 740.

The acquired image 710 may include at least one or more foods. It is of course possible to include other objects besides food. 7, the acquired image 710 may include a banana 711, a pizza 712, a spoon 720, a rice 714, and orange juice 715. The control unit 180 may receive an instruction to select at least one food from the acquired image 710. [ The controller 180 may display information indicating that the selected food is selected by the marker 720 for the selected food. The marker 720 may be a circular indicia for the selected portion and may be a transparent indicia so that the food is not covered, but this is by way of example and not by way of limitation.

The user can select at least one food that the user has consumed in the acquired image 710 displayed on the display unit 151. [ When the user has consumed pizza, rice, and orange juice, the user can touch and select pizza 712, rice 714, and orange juice 715 from the acquired image 710.

The control unit 180 may display the marker 720 with respect to the received selection input. The control unit 180 may display the marker 720 only for the pizza 712, the rice 714, and the orange juice 715 that received the selection input, as shown in FIG. As a result, the user can visually confirm which food has been selected.

The selection initialization button 730 may be a button for canceling the previously input selection. When the control unit 180 receives the input of the selection initialization button 730, it can release all the food choices received so far. In this case, all of the markers 720 displayed in the acquired image 710 may also disappear. The user can initialize the selection by inputting a selection initialization button 730, such as when selecting a food not consumed or selecting a place other than food. Alternatively, it may further include a button for canceling only the previous selection, not releasing all the selections.

The completion button 740 may be a button for completing the food selection and proceeding to the next step. When receiving the completion button 740, the control unit 180 automatically crops the selected food and proceeds to the food information input step.

Crop is the task of cropping only the parts of a picture or picture. In accordance with the present invention, the control unit 180 can crop only the food image corresponding to the selected portion as the input of the completion button 740 is received. For example, when a completion button 740 is input on the food selection screen 700 shown in FIG. 7, a crop (crop) that cuts only the corresponding image to the pizza 712, the rice 714 and the orange juice 715 ) Operation can be performed. The crop can be done by analyzing the color of the selected part and the surrounding part, and other known techniques can be used.

The control unit 180 may convert the selected food into a food information input step after cropping. The image after the crop will be described later.

Returning to FIG.

The control unit 180 provides a food information input window for each selected food (S405), and receives a command for each food information input window (S407).

According to an embodiment of the present invention, all the food information included in the image can be displayed on the display unit 151 at one time.

Alternatively, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the food information included in the image can be displayed on the display unit 151 in correspondence to each food by one window. In particular, the control unit 180 may receive a selection command for each food included in the image, and may provide a window for receiving food information for each selected food. The control unit 180 may display a food information input window on the display unit 151 as one method for providing a food information input window.

8 to 10, a food information input window according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The control unit 180 may display the food information input window 800 on the display unit 151 upon receiving the completion button 740 input on the food selection screen 700 of FIG.

The food information input window 800 may include at least one of a food image 810, a meal time item 820, a food name item 830, an intake amount item 840, and a window selection item 850. It is to be noted that other items may be added or omitted.

The food image 810 may be an image obtained by cropping the food selected on the food selection screen 700. The control unit 180 can analyze the surrounding image based on the touched portion and cut out only the portion determined as one object. The control unit 180 may receive a drag input or a pinch in / pinch-out for the food image 810 and modify the displayed food image 810.

The user can display a desired food image through dragging or pinch-in / pinch-out if the displayed food image 810 is not the desired food image.

The meal time item 820 is an item for selecting the time when the food is consumed. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 180 may receive an input for selecting a time during which the food is consumed in the meal time item 820 from morning / lunch / evening / snack. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 180 may acquire the time at which the food image is photographed, and automatically determine one of the morning / lunch / evening / snack based on the acquired time. For example, the control unit 180 can automatically select the meal time item 820 in the morning when it is determined that a photograph including the food image 810 is photographed at 7:00 in the morning. The time for breakfast / lunch / dinner / snack can be set as default. For example, the controller 180 may set the morning time to 06:00 to 08:00, the lunch time to 11:30 to 13:00, and the evening time to 17:00 to 19:00 depending on the default value. However, this is an example and the user may set it arbitrarily.

The food name item 830 is an item that analyzes the food image 810 cropped by the control unit 180 and displays a list estimated as the food. The food name entry 830 may include an estimated food name 831 through 834 and a search 835. [ The control unit 180 may receive an input to select one of the estimated food names 831 to 834 or the search 835. [ When receiving an input for selecting one of the estimated food names 831 to 834, the control unit 180 can retrieve the food information of the corresponding food from the memory unit 170. [ The estimated food name may be the name of the food in question, such as a color and shape analysis of a cropped food image 810, or a comparison of similarities with other food images. Alternatively, other known techniques may be used.

When receiving the input for selecting the search 835, the control unit 180 searches for food corresponding to the input name, controls the display unit 151 to display the searched food list, and displays one of the displayed food lists The user can retrieve the food information of the food from the memory unit 170. [ This is to allow food selection through search if the food is not estimated smoothly and the food can not be accurately estimated.

In addition, it may further include items to be directly input. In this case, the controller 180 can receive both the food calorie input and the nutrient information input as well as the food name input. In particular, this can be used in the case of food that the user originally created. In the case of a food made by a user creatively, since it is highly likely that nutrient information about the food is not stored, it is possible to provide a direct entry item.

In addition, it may further include an additional food selection menu (not shown) such as a sauce or the like depending on the food name to be selected. For example, when receiving an input to select a pizza 832 as shown in FIG. 9, an additional food selection menu (not shown) for selecting a source, such as a hot sauce, cheese sauce, etc., . This makes it possible to obtain more detailed information on the food consumed by the user, and to provide the user with a more accurate diet management method.

If the food name corresponding to the food image 810 is in the food name item 830, the user selects the corresponding food name, and if not, the user can select the search 830 to search for and select the food.

The intake item 840 is an item for selecting the amount of food eaten in the food image 810. The intake item 840 may include at least one of a sliding bar 841 and an intake unit 842 that can be adjusted to the left or right to select an intake amount. As the sliding bar 841 is moved to the left, the amount of intake is decreased, and as the amount of movement is increased toward the right, the amount of intake can be increased. The intake unit 842 is changed to the corresponding unit according to the food name selected in the food name item 830. [ In the case of the rice of Fig. 8 or the pizza of Fig. 9, the intake unit 842 is expressed as a meal, and in the case of juice as shown in Fig. 10, the intake unit 842 may be represented by cup. Also, the value of the intake unit 842 may vary as the sliding bar 841 is adjusted.

In addition, the control unit 180 may receive the intake amount not through the sliding bar 841 but through another method. For example, when receiving the food selection input from the food image 710 as a touch input as shown in FIG. 11, the controller 180 can recognize that the amount of food is input according to the degree of touch. Specifically, the longer the user touches, the shorter the touch, the less the user can perceive. In addition, the degree of touch may be displayed (1100) on the display unit 151. [ For example, the longer the touch, the thicker the display 1100 is, or the longer the touch, the larger the size of the display 1100, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, the controller 180 may receive an intake amount input according to a predetermined method. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, when the controller 180 receives the input 1201 for dragging the food downward, the controller 180 can recognize that the food has been consumed 0.5 times. In addition, when the control unit 180 receives the input 1202 for dragging the food into a circular shape, the controller 180 can recognize that the food has been consumed by one person. Each setting is exemplary and may be set by default or may be set according to the input received from the user.

The window selection item 850 of FIGS. 8 to 10 is an item for selecting each food information input window 800. In the case of the first food information input window 800, the window selection item 850 may include only the following items, the intermediate food information input window 800 may include the previous item and the next item, The input window 800 may include a previous item and a storage item. The control unit 180 can return to the previous food information input window through the previous item to correct the food information that was previously mistakenly input and can switch to the food information input window for the next food through the next item, You can save and exit the information input for the food you have ingested.

4 will be described again.

The control unit 180 displays the received food information received through the food information input window (S409).
