US 2018/0321842 A1 · WATCH-TYPE TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME

Abstract

The present invention relates to a watch-type terminal enabling touch input sensing and a method for controlling the same. The watch-type terminal comprises: a display unit; a sensing unit for sensing the touch surface area of a touch input applied to the display unit; and a control unit for detecting the direction of changes in the touch surface area of the touch input which has been sensed and, in response to the changes in the touch surface area, for executing a particular function connected to the direction of changes of the touch surface area among a plurality of functions for controlling the operation of a watch-type terminal.

Dependent claims

A terminal, comprising:

a display unit;
a sensing unit configured to sense a touch attribute of a touch input applied to the display unit;
and
a controller configured to control a watch-type terminal to operate in either one of a first mode for controlling the operation of the watch-type terminal according to a change direction of a touch area of the touch input and a second mode for controlling screen information displayed on the display unit according to a change direction of a touch area of the touch input,
wherein the controller executes a specific function according to the either one of the modes based on a change direction of the touch attribute of the touch input in the either one of the modes, and
the touch attribute is any one of a touch area, a touch pressure and a combination of the touch area and the touch pressure.
