Abstract
A terminal wearable by a user and a control method thereof are provided. The terminal includes: a body configured to wrap at least one region of a wrist and detachably formed; a sensing unit disposed in one surface of the body and configured to sense a movement of at least one of tendons passing through the wrist and the wrist; and a controller configured to generate a control signal for controlling an external device to execute a function previously matched to the sensed movement of the at least one of the tendons and the wrist.
Claims12
A terminal comprising:
- a body configured to detachably wrap around a user's wrist;
- a flexible display unit that is bowable and positioned on a first region of the body;
- a sensing unit positioned on a surface of the body and configured to sense a direction in which the user's wrist faces and to sense movements of tendons passing through the wrist, the movements caused by movements of the user's fingers;
- a first camera and a second camera located at different positions of the body and facing in different directions;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- select at least the first camera or the second camera based on the sensed direction;
- cause the flexible display unit to display an image received from the selected camera, the image displayed on a region of the flexible display unit based on the sensed direction;
- execute a first function related to the image when a shape formed by the sensed movements matches any of a plurality of predetermined shapes;
- determine a position where the display unit wraps around the wrist by determining an area where the sensing unit and the wrist are in contact with each other;
- control a size of a specific display region of the display unit based on the determined position;
- and
- adjust a sensitivity of the sensing unit based on the determined position.
