RF unit 110 processes radio signals carrying communications data. TheRF unit 110 may include an RF transmitter for up-converting and amplifying transmission signals and an RF receiver for low-noise-amplifying and down-converting received signals. TheRF unit 110 transfers data received on a radio channel to thecontrol unit 160 and transmits the data input from thecontrol unit 160 through the radio channel. - The
audio processing unit 120 may include at least one codec, and the at least one codec may include a data codec for processing packet data and voice codec for processing audio signal including voice. Theaudio processing unit 120 converts digital audio signals to analog audio signals by means of the audio codec to output the audio signals through a Speaker (SPK) and converts analog audio signals input through a microphone to digital audio signals by means of the audio codec. - The
storage unit 130 stores application programs and data related to the operations of the mobile terminal and is divided into a program region and a data region. More particularly, in an exemplary implementation, thestorage unit 130 stores an application program for configuring a scale of degrees of touch pressure and controlling responsiveness of the user interface depending on the degree of the touch pressure. - The
touchscreen unit 140 includes adisplay panel 140A and atouch panel 140B. - The
display panel 140A may be implemented with any of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel or an Organic Light Emitted Diodes (OLED) panel. Thedisplay panel 140A displays information including a menu, a user's input data, function settings, and an operation status in the form of visual images. For example, thedisplay panel 140A displays a booting progress screen, an idle mode screen, a call progressing screen, a settings screen, and application-specific execution screens. - The
touch panel 140B detects a touch input made on thetouchscreen unit 140. The touch input may be made on thetouchscreen unit 140 using a finger or a stylus pen. Thetouch panel 140B may be implemented with a touch sensor based on a touch sensing technology, such as a capacitive overlay, a resistive overlay, and an infrared beam, and/or a pressure sensor without limitation in the types of sensing technologies. - The
touch panel 140B is formed over a top surface of thedisplay panel 140A and also may be formed with an entire surface or a partial surface of one or more sides of the mobile terminal. Thetouch panel 140B detects a touch and transfers a corresponding touch signal to thecontrol unit 160. In an exemplary implementation, the touch signal includes location information (x, y) and pressure information (z). That is, thecontrol unit 160 acquires the location information and pressure information from the touch signal generated by the touch on thetouchscreen unit 140. - The
key input unit 150 generates a key signal in response to a key input and transfers the key signal to thecontrol unit 160. Thekey input unit 150 may be implemented in the form of a keypad including a plurality of numeric keys and navigation keys or a set of function keys on one side of the mobile terminal. In a case when the mobile terminal is implemented with a full touchscreen supporting various user inputs, thekey input unit 150 may be integrated into thetouchscreen unit 140. - The
control unit 160 controls entire operations of the mobile terminal. More particularly, in an exemplary implementation, thecontrol unit 160 includes apressure extractor 160A and auser interface manager 160B. - If a touch on the
touchscreen unit 140 is detected, thepressure extractor 160A receives the touch signal including the location information (x, y) and pressure information (z) from thetouchscreen unit 140. Thepressure extractor 160A extracts the pressure information from the touch signal and transfers the pressure information to theuser interface manager 160B. - The
user interface manager 160B controls an interactive speed according to the touch pressure for controlling operations of the user interface. If a touch is detected at a specific position on thetouchscreen unit 140, theuser interface manager 160B determines whether the touch is maintained over a threshold time duration. The threshold time duration is used to determine whether the touch is a tap touch or a pressure-sensitive touch. The threshold time duration may be set to a default value, e.g., 1 second or 2 seconds. However, the default value setting is not limited thereto and may be set to a variable that changes dynamically according to the touch pattern of the user. - If the touch is maintained over the threshold time duration, the
user interface manager 160B configures the user interface to interact based on the degree of the touch pressure. Theuser interface manager 160B enters a pressure sensitive operation mode in which an interaction degree of the user interface varies according to the touch pressure. For this purpose, theuser interface manager 160B uses the pressure information transferred by thepressure extractor 160A to determine the degree of pressure. - In an a case when an exemplary phonebook application is running, the
user interface manager 160B determines the degree of scroll speed of the phonebook application screen according to the pressure of the touch made on the screen. Theuser interface manager 160B controls the phonebook application screen to scroll fast or slow as the touch pressure increases or decreases, respectively. - In a case when an exemplary image viewer application is running, the
user interface manager 160B determines the degree of the sliding speed of the images according to the pressure of the touch made on the screen. Theuser interface manager 160B controls the images to slide fast and slow as the touch pressure increases and decreases, respectively. - Although pressure sensitive operations related to the screen scroll and image slide are described in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited thereto. Accordingly, the screen scroll and image slide may be applied to various interactive operations of the user interface. For example, the pressure sensitive degree control may be applied for color brightness and chroma control, motion speed control, sound volume control, and image zoom control.
- The pressure sensitive degree control method for a touchscreen-enable mobile terminal is described in more detail below with reference to
FIGS. 2 to 8E . -
FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a pressure sensitive degree control method for a touchscreen-enabled mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - The
user interface manager 160B first verifies a foreground running application in step S205. The foreground running application may be any application having an application interface with an interactive interface such as a phonebook, an image viewer, a music player, and operation environment settings. - After verifying the foreground running application, the
user interface manager 160B monitors a touchscreen to detect a touch made at a specific position in step S210. Here, the specific position may be a soft key formed on the touchscreen for mapping the touch pressure and an interactive function. The specific position may be an area anywhere in a range of the touchscreen which interacts with the pressure of a touch made thereon. - If a touch is detected in step S210, the
user interface manager 160B determines whether the touch is maintained over a threshold time duration in step S220. The threshold time duration is used to determine whether the touch is a normal touch event or a pressure-sensitive touch event. If the touch does not remain over the threshold time duration, theuser interface manager 160B determines that a normal touch event is input, and thus executes an operation related to the normal touch event in step S230. - If the touch is maintained over the threshold time duration, the
user interface manager 160B determines that the pressure sensitive touch event is input, and thus enters a pressure sensitive operation mode in step S240. In the pressure sensitive operation mode, theuser interface manager 160B controls an interaction degree of the user interface according to the touch pressure in step S250. - In an a case when an exemplary audio player is running, the
user interface manager 160B determines a degree of sound volume according to a pressure level of the touch made on the touchscreen. Theuser interface manager 160B controls such that the sound volume of the audio player increases fast or slow as the touch pressure increases or decreases, respectively. - In a case when an exemplary backlight brightness control function is activated, the
user interface manager 160B determines the degree of brightness according to the pressure level of the touch made on the touchscreen. Theuser interface manager 160B controls such that the brightness of the backlight becomes dark fast or bright slow as the touch pressure increases or decreases, respectively. Although the description has been provided with exemplary cases of the audio player function and the backlight brightness control function, the present invention is not limited thereto. Accordingly, various applications may be applied to determine the pressure sensitive degree according to the pressure level of touch made on the touchscreen. -
FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a pressure sensitive degree control process according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - Once the mobile terminal enters a pressure sensitive operation mode, the
user interface manager 160B controls a touch pressure indicator to display on thetouchscreen unit 140 in step S310. The touch pressure indicator illustrates the degree of the pressure of a touch made on thetouchscreen unit 140. The touch pressure indicator may provide an alarm notifying a user of an excessive touch pressure which may cause significant physical impact on the touchscreen. - The
user interface manager 160B verifies the touch pressure information provided by thepressure extractor 160A in step S320 and executes a function, while controlling an interactive degree of the function, according to the level of the touch pressure in step S330. - In this case, the touch pressure levels and the interactive degree may be classified as shown in Table 1.
-
TABLE 1 Touch pressure level (integer) Interaction speed level 1~10 Level 111~25 Level 2 26~40 Level 3 - - - - - - - Referring to Table 1, in a case when the pressure level of the touch made on the touch screen is 20, the
user interface manager 160B sets an interaction speed level to level 2. Here, if the interaction is a screen scroll, theuser interface manager 160B controls the screen to scroll at the speed of level 2. If the interaction is a sound volume adjustment, theuser interface manager 160B control the volume to increase or decrease at the speed of level 2. - The
user interface manager 160B monitors a detected change in the touch pressure level in step S340. If there is no change in the touch pressure level, theuser interface manager 160B maintains an execution of the function. - Otherwise, if there is a change in the touch pressure level, the
user interface manager 160B determines whether the touch is released in step S345. If it is determined that the touch is released, theuser interface manager 160B ends the execution of the corresponding function. Otherwise, if it is determined that the touch is not released, theuser interface manager 160B determines whether the pressure level of the touch is increased or decreased in step S350. - If it is determined that the pressure level of the touch is increased, the
user interface manager 160B increases the interaction speed level of the user interface in step S370. In the case of the screen scroll, theuser interface manager 160B increases the screen scroll speed to level 3. In the case of the sound volume adjustment, theuser interface manager 160B increases or decreases the sound volume to level 3. - According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, if a touch pressure level is greater than a threshold, the
user interface manager 160B determines that the touch pressure is increased. For example, in order to determine the increase of the touch pressure at the current interaction speed level 2, theuser interface manager 160B detects the touch pressure greater than 26 which is a minimum value of a pressure range corresponding to the interaction speed level 3. - In step S350, if it is determined that the pressure level of the touch is decreased, the
user interface manager 160B decreases the interaction speed level of the user interface in step S360. In the case of the screen scroll, theuser interface manager 160B decreases the screen scroll speed tolevel 1. - If a touch pressure level is in the pressure range lower than the current pressure range detected, the
user interface manager 160B determines that the touch pressure is decreased. For example, in order to determine the decrease of the touch pressure at the current interaction speed level of 2, theuser interface manager 160B detects the touch pressure less than 10 which is a maximum value of the pressure range corresponding to theinteraction speed level 1. -

If no change is detected in the pressure level, theuser interface manager 160B maintains the currently running operation in step S430, i.e., scrolling the phonebook screen upward at the speed oflevel 1. - If a change is detected in the pressure level, the
user interface manager 160B determines whether the touch is released in step S435. If it is determined that the touch is released, theuser interface manager 160B ends the execution of the corresponding function. If it is determined that the touch is not released, theuser interface manager 160B determines whether the touch pressure is increased or decreased in step S440. - If it is determined that the touch pressure is increased, the
user interface manager 160B controls such that the screen scroll speed increases in step S445. - In order to determine the increase of the touch pressure at the current scroll speed of
level 1, theuser interface manager 160B detects the touch pressure in the range of 11˜25 (see Table 1). As illustrated in the execution screen part <b> ofFIG. 6 , the scrolling speed of the phonebook screen increases to level 2. - The
user interface manager 160B then updates thetouch pressure indicator 610 to indicate the scroll speed (i.e., level 2) in step S420. - If the touch pressure is decreased, the
user interface manager 160B controls the screen scroll speed to decrease in step S450. - The
