Abstract:
The present invention relates to an input device and method of a portable terminal. The present invention includes generating an input event by a first input mode, generating a second input event by a motion of the portable terminal simultaneously or consecutively with the input event, and controlling operation of an application program according to the user function of the portable terminal in consideration of the first and second input events.
Abstract:
A mobile terminal and a method of displaying data for the same are disclosed. The data display method includes displaying one or more tags, checking whether a motion of the mobile terminal is detected, identifying the terminal motion if terminal motion is detected, and displaying rearranged tags when the identified terminal motion is related to tag rearrangement.
Abstract:
A mobile communication terminal and method for processing missed events are disclosed. A user can check missed events on a wait screen at a glance and rapidly respond to the missed events. A controller stores the missed events received in a wait state. When the wait state is changed to an enabled state, an event displaying unit displays event icons associated with the missed events on key cells of a touch keypad. When an event icon is touched, a function executing unit executes a function associated with the touched event icon. A display changes from the wait screen to the function executing screen. Since the missed events are displayed as event icons on the touch keypad, a user can read a state of the missed events at a glance. As well, the user can read contents of the missed events that are associated with the event icon touched on the function executing screen, and rapidly respond to the missed events.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a motion input device for portable terminal and an operation method using the same. A motion input device of a portable terminal of the present invention includes a sensor unit configured to collect a sensor signal from at least one sensor; an operation recognition unit configured to generate a motion signal corresponding to an operation of portable terminal based on the sensor signal; a scenario preparation unit configured to generate an input scenario based on at least one motion signal; and a scenario mapping unit configured to detect, in a scenario database, a standards scenario corresponding to the input scenario, and to generate an input signal corresponding to the standards scenario.

Abstract:
A mobile terminal having a foldable display and an operation method for the same are disclosed. The foldable display unit includes a plurality of display zones, wherein the application of program depends on the degree of folding angle of the display unit, and the display unit displays on its screen according to the folding angle. Further, variations of closing and opening motion of the foldable display unit triggers different modes of operation and displays.

Abstract:
A method of supporting divided screen areas and a mobile terminal employing the same are disclosed. The method includes: generating input signals for one of sequentially and simultaneously activating a plurality of user functions; activating the user functions according to generated input signals; dividing a screen into divided screen areas that correspond to activated user functions; and outputting functional view areas associated with the activated user functions to the corresponding divided screen areas.
Abstract:
An operating mode control apparatus and method for a mobile terminal are disclosed. The apparatus and method enable the user to control the operation of a mobile terminal on the basis of the proximity of the user to the mobile terminal, the movement of the mobile terminal, and the housing orientation thereof. Hence, the user may enjoy a visuo-spatial user interface.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of operating a user interface (UI) based on a motion sensor and a mobile terminal using the same. The method of operating a UI of a mobile terminal including a touch sensor and a motion sensor includes identifying an input of a mode conversion key, activating the motion sensor, and converting a UI mode to a motion mode. The mobile terminal having a touch sensor and motion sensor may include a display unit and a controller. The display unit may display an application execution screen. The controller may activate the motion sensor if mode conversion is requested in an activated state of the touch sensor, and may activate the touch sensor if mode conversion is requested in an activated state of the motion sensor.
