Abstract
A method of controlling applications in a mobile terminal is provided. The method includes collecting acceleration values continuously using an acceleration sensor, when the mobile terminal is being moved; identifying a motion trace indicating that the mobile terminal has been moved from the collected acceleration values; matching the identified motion trace with a preset motion trace, and executing a control command mapped to the preset motion trace to control an application in the mobile terminal, if the matching succeeds.
Claims14
A method of controlling applications in a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- presetting a motion trace for the mobile terminal:
- binding the preset motion trace to a control command of an application, prior to collecting acceleration values:
- collecting the acceleration values continuously using an acceleration sensor, when the mobile terminal is being moved;
- identifying a motion trace of the mobile device, indicating that the mobile terminal has been move, from the collected acceleration values;
- matching the identified motion trace with the preset motion trace;
- and
- executing a control command mapped to the preset motion trace to control an application in the mobile terminal, if the matching succeeds.
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- an acceleration sensor for detecting an acceleration when the mobile terminal is being moved;
- and
- a controller for presetting a motion trace of the mobile terminal, binding the preset motion trace to a control command of an application, prior to collecting acceleration values, collecting the acceleration values continuously using the acceleration sensor, when the mobile terminal is being moved, identifying a motion trace of the mobile terminal, indicating that the mobile terminal has been moved, from the collected acceleration values, matching the identified motion trace with the preset motion trace, and executing a control command mapped to the preset motion trace to control applications in the mobile terminal, if the matching succeeds.
