The broadcast management server may mean a server that generates and transmits at least one of a broadcast signal and broadcast related information or a server that receives at least one of the pre-generated broadcast signal and broadcast related information and transmits the same to a terminal.

The broadcast related information may mean information related to a broadcast channel, a broadcast program, or a broadcast service provider. The broadcast signal may include not only a TV broadcast signal, a radio broadcast signal, and a data broadcast signal, but also a broadcast signal having a data broadcast signal combined with a TV broadcast signal or a radio broadcast signal. The broadcast related information may also be provided through a mobile communication network, and in this case, may be received by the mobile communication module 113. Broadcast related information may exist in various forms. For example, it may exist in the form of Electronic Program Guide (EPG) of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) or Electronic Service Guide (ESG) of Digital Video Broadcast-Handheld (DVB-H).

The broadcast receiving module 111 receives broadcast signals using various broadcast systems, and in particular, digital multimedia broadcasting-terrestrial (DMB-T), digital multimedia broadcasting-satellite (DMB-S), and media forward link only (MediaFLO). ), Digital broadcast signals may be received using digital broadcasting systems such as DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcast-Handheld) and ISDB-T (Integrated Services Digital Broadcast-Terrestrial). In addition, the broadcast receiving module 111 may be configured to be suitable for all broadcast systems providing broadcast signals as well as such digital broadcast systems. The broadcast signal and / or broadcast related information received through the broadcast receiving module 111 may be stored in the memory 160.

The mobile communication module 113 transmits and receives a radio signal with at least one of a base station, an external terminal, and a server on a mobile communication network. Here, the wireless signal may include various types of data according to voice call signal, video call signal, or text / multimedia message transmission and reception.

The GPS (Global Position System) module 119 receives position information from a plurality of GPS satellites.

The A / V input unit 120 is for inputting an audio signal or a video signal, and may include a camera 121 and a microphone 123. The camera 121 processes image frames such as still images or moving images obtained by the image sensor in the video call mode or the photographing mode. The processed image frame may be displayed on the flexible display unit 151.

The image frame processed by the camera 121 may be stored in the memory 160 or transmitted to the outside through the wireless communication unit 110. Two or more cameras 121 may be provided according to the configuration aspect of the terminal.

The microphone 123 receives an external sound signal by a microphone in a call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, etc., and processes the external sound signal into electrical voice data. The processed voice data may be converted into a form transmittable to the mobile communication base station through the mobile communication module 113 and output in the call mode. The microphone 123 may use various noise removing algorithms for removing noise generated in the process of receiving an external sound signal.

The user input unit 130 generates key input data input by the user for controlling the operation of the terminal. The user input unit 130 may include a key pad, a dome switch, a touch pad (static pressure / capacitance), a jog wheel, a jog switch, a finger mouse, and the like. In particular, when the touch pad forms a mutual layer structure with the flexible display unit 151 to be described later, this may be referred to as a touch screen.

The sensing unit 140 detects a current state of the mobile terminal 100 such as an open / closed state of the mobile terminal 100, a position of the mobile terminal 100, presence or absence of a user contact, and controls the operation of the mobile terminal 100.

In addition, it may be responsible for sensing functions related to whether the power supply unit 190 is supplied with power, whether the interface unit 170 is coupled to an external device, and the like.

The sensing unit 140 may include a band sensor 141. The band sensor 141 is an element that converts information about a position at which the flexible display unit 151 is folded or bent into an electrical signal. In addition, the band sensor 141 may output different signals according to the degree to which the flexible display unit 151 is folded or bent. Therefore, the controller 180 can know the position and the degree at which the flexible display unit 151 is folded or bent using the output value of the band sensor 141. In general, the band sensor 141 is in close contact with the flexible display unit 151 and is uniformly distributed in the flexible display unit 151.

The sensing unit 140 may include an acceleration sensor 142. The acceleration sensor 142 converts an acceleration signal in one direction into an electrical signal, and is widely used with the development of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. The acceleration sensor 142 measures the acceleration of a large value embedded in an airbag system of a vehicle and used to detect a collision, and recognizes the minute movement of a human hand and uses the acceleration of a minute value used as an input means such as a game. There are many different types of measurements. The acceleration sensor 142 is usually configured by mounting two or three axes in one package, and in some cases, only one Z axis is required depending on the use environment. Therefore, if for some reason it is necessary to use the acceleration sensor in the X-axis or Y-axis direction instead of the Z-axis direction, the acceleration sensor may be mounted on the main substrate using a separate engraving substrate.

The output unit 150 is for outputting an audio signal, a video signal, or an alarm signal. The output unit 150 may include a flexible display unit 151, an audio output module 153, an alarm unit 155, and the like.

The flexible display unit 151 refers to a display that can be folded, bent or rolled like a paper, unlike a general flat panel display.

In this case, the touch screen panel is a transparent panel attached to the outside and may be connected to a bus inside the portable terminal. The touch screen panel keeps an eye on the contact result and sends corresponding signals to the touch screen panel controller when there is a touch input. The touch screen panel controller processes the signals and then transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180 so that the controller 180 can know whether there is a touch input and which area of the touch screen has been touched.

In addition, the flexible display unit 151 may include a liquid crystal display, a thin film transistor-liquid crystal display, an organic light-emitting diode, and a 3D display. It may also include at least one. In addition, two or more flexible display units 151 may exist according to an implementation form of the mobile terminal 100.

The sound output module 153 may include a speaker, a buzzer, and the like.

The alarm unit 155 outputs a signal for notifying the occurrence of an event of the portable terminal 100. Examples of events occurring in the mobile terminal 100 include call signal reception, message reception, key signal input, and the like. The alarm unit 155 outputs a signal for notifying occurrence of an event in a form other than an audio signal or a video signal. For example, the signal may be output in the form of vibration. When a call signal is received or a message is received, the alarm unit 155 may output a vibration to inform this. Alternatively, when a key signal is input, the alarm unit 155 may output a vibration in response to the key signal input. This vibration output allows the user to recognize the occurrence of the event. Of course, the signal for notifying the event occurrence may be output through the flexible display unit 151 or the sound output module 153.

The memory 160 may store a program for processing and controlling the controller 180 and may provide a function for temporarily storing input or output data (for example, a phone book, a message, a still image, a video, etc.). It can also be done.

The memory 160 may be a flash memory type, a hard disk type, a multimedia card micro type, a card type memory (for example, SD or XD memory), RAM The storage medium may include at least one type of storage medium.

The interface unit 170 may receive data from such an external device or receive power and transmit the data to each component in the mobile terminal 100, and may transmit data in the mobile terminal 100 to an external device. .

The controller 180 typically controls the operation of each unit to control the overall operation of the mobile terminal 100. For example, perform related control and processing for voice calls, data communications, video calls, and the like. In addition, the controller 180 may include a multimedia playback module 181 for multimedia playback. The multimedia playback module 181 may be configured in hardware in the controller 180 or may be configured in software separately from the controller 180.

The power supply unit 190 receives external power and internal power under the control of the controller 180 and supplies power necessary for operation of the respective components.

Referring to FIG. 2, the case forming the exterior of the mobile terminal 100 is formed by the first case 100A-1 and the second case 100A-2. The first case 100A-1 and the second case 100A-2 are disposed on both of the first and second flexible display units 151a and 151b to support the first and second flexible display units 151a and 151b. do. Various electronic components are built into the first case 100A-1 and the second case 100A-2. Such cases may be formed by injecting synthetic resin, or may be formed to have a metal material such as stainless steel (STS) or titanium (Ti).

The first sound output module 153a and the first camera 121a may be disposed in the main body, specifically, the first case 100A-1. In addition, the user input unit 130a and the microphone 123 may be disposed in the second case 100A-2. The first and second flexible display units 151a and 151b overlap each other between the first case 100A-1 and the second case 100A-2. Each of the first flexible display unit 151a and the second flexible display unit 151b may be an independent display, or may be a display in which both surfaces are exposed as transparent displays.

The flexible display units 151a and 151b include a liquid crystal display (LCD), organic light emitting diodes (OLED), and the like, which visually express information. The flexible display units 151a and 151b may be configured such that the touch pads overlap with each other in a layer structure, so that the flexible display units 151a and 151b operate as a touch screen to input information by a user's touch.

The first sound output module 153a may be implemented in the form of a receiver or a speaker. The first camera 121a may be implemented to be suitable for capturing an image or a video of a user or the like. The microphone 123 may be implemented in a form suitable for receiving a user's voice, other sounds, and the like.

For example, the user input unit 130 may be implemented as a dome switch or a touch pad that may receive a command or information by a user's push or touch operation, or may be operated by a wheel or jog method or a joystick that rotates a key. Or the like. In functional terms, for inputting commands such as start, end, call, etc., for inputting a selection of an operation mode, etc., a hot-key for activating a special function in the mobile terminal 100, and the like. It can be used in various ways.

In addition, a power supply unit 190 for supplying power to the portable terminal is mounted at the bottom of the second case 100A-2. The power supply unit 190 is, for example, a rechargeable battery, and may be detachably coupled to the second case 100A-2 for charging.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling the operation of a portable terminal according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, first, the controller 180 photographs a user using the camera 121 and displays the photographed image on the flexible display unit 151 (S200). The image may be an image captured and stored in advance, or may be an image captured in real time such as a video call or a video call and displayed on the flexible display unit 151. Instead of the user, another subject may be a photographing target.

Next, when a signal is detected by the band sensor 141, the controller 180 determines whether the position where the signal is detected is the first area (S205). When the interval between the band sensor 141 becomes wider or narrower in the uniformly distributed band sensor 141, the controller 180 determines that a signal is detected, and the interval of the band sensor 141 is widened. The narrowing area is regarded as the first area. The first area is one of all areas in which the interval between the band sensors 141 can be widened or narrowed. For example, in the rectangular band sensor 141, the first area may be four corner parts or a center part. In general, since the band sensor 141 is in close contact with the flexible display unit 151, the band sensor 141 may detect a signal by folding or bending the flexible display unit 151.

As a result of determination in S205, when a signal is detected through the first region, the controller 180 distorts the image to correspond to the detected signal (S210). Since the magnitude of the detected signal is different depending on whether the interval between the band sensors 141 is widened or narrowed, the degree of distortion of the image may vary according to the size of the signal. In addition, the size of the signal may vary depending on the size of the area where the signal is detected. In order to identify the distorted image, the controller 180 may display the distorted image on the flexible display unit 151.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S205 that no signal is detected through the first region, the controller 180 determines whether a signal is detected through the second region of the band sensor 141 (S215). As a result of the determination of S215, when a signal is not detected through the second area, no deformation occurs in the image.

On the other hand, when a signal is detected through the second region as a result of S215 determination, the region except for the user's appearance is converted into an arbitrary color in the image (S220). The arbitrary color may be a single color or an image or color preset by a user. For example, when the image is a picture of the upper body of the user and the background, the background may be converted to white. In order to check the converted image, the controller 180 may display the converted image on the flexible display unit 151.

Next, the controller 180 transmits the distorted image in step S210 or the image converted in step S220 to the counterpart (S225). Therefore, the other party can see the deformed image in step S210 or step S220. The modified image transmission may occur at a time set by the user, or may occur in real time, such as a video call or a video call. Even after the image is deformed in step S210 or S220, the signal is not detected through the band sensor 141, and the deformed image may be displayed on the flexible display unit 151.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a mobile terminal according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, first, the controller 180 displays an image on the flexible display unit 151 (S230). The image may be an image captured by the camera 121, may be a pre-stored image, or may be a standby screen displayed on the flexible display unit 151 or an execution screen of a menu.

Next, when a signal is detected by the band sensor 141, the controller 180 determines whether the position where the signal is detected corresponds to a specific region (S235). That is, an area where the interval between the band sensors 141 is widened or narrowed corresponds to a position where a signal is detected. As a result of the determination in S235, when a signal is not detected through a specific region, the image is not deformed.

On the other hand, if the signal is detected through the specific region as a result of the S235 determination, the controller 180 transforms the image to correspond to the signal detected through the specific region (S240). Since the magnitude of the detected signal is different depending on whether the interval between the band sensors 141 is widened or narrowed, the degree of deformation of the image may vary depending on the size of the signal.

Next, the controller 180 displays the modified image on the flexible display unit 151 (S245). The signal detected in step S235 may be a temporarily detected signal. Therefore, when the signal is temporarily sensed, the image is deformed, and the deformed image may be displayed on the flexible display unit 151 even when the signal is not detected through the band sensor 141.

The deformation of the image may be shown as various embodiments according to a user's setting, and may be set such that different image deformations occur in each region to which a signal is input.

For example, the image may be distorted and displayed to correspond to the sensed signal. That is, when the magnitude of the detected signal is large, the distortion degree of the image may be increased, and when the magnitude of the detected signal is small, the degree of distortion of the image may be reduced.

In addition, the image may be displayed by applying a convex effect or a concave effect. At this time, the specific region that can exhibit the convex effect of the image, and the specific region that can exhibit the concave effect may be different positions in the band sensor 141, the signal is the same position and the interval between the band sensor 141 is widened It may also be the case that the signals with narrow intervals, and are detected, respectively. The degree of convex effect and the degree of concave effect may vary depending on the degree of the detected signal.

In addition, the image may be displayed by applying an enlargement effect or a reduction effect. The specific area that can show the magnification effect of the image, and the specific area that can show the reduction effect may be different positions in the band sensor 141, a signal having the same position and a wider distance between the band sensors 141, and It may also be the case that the signals with narrower intervals are each detected. The degree of magnification and the degree of magnification may vary depending on the degree of the detected signal.

In addition, the brightness of the image may be changed or the color of the image may be changed. The brightness of the image may be largely changed or small depending on the degree of the sensed signal. The color of the image can be adjusted according to the detected signal level, or the color tone of the entire image can be changed.

In addition, the image can be displayed by rotating it clockwise or counterclockwise. For example, the image may be displayed by rotating 90 degrees clockwise or 90 degrees counterclockwise.

In addition, when the image is displayed in the original ratio in step S230, the image can be transformed and displayed in full screen, and if the image is displayed in full screen, the image can be transformed and displayed in the original ratio.

The specific area that can represent each image deformation may be different positions in the band sensor 141, and the same position and the signal in which the interval of the band sensor 141 is widened and the signal in which the interval is narrowed are respectively detected. It may be.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a mobile terminal according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 6, first, the controller 180 displays one image of the plurality of images having an order on the flexible display unit 151 (S300). The one image may be an image selected by the user. The plurality of images having the above order may be a plurality of images according to a generation order, or may be a plurality of images arranged in an order set by a user.

Next, when a signal is detected by the band sensor 141, the controller 180 determines whether the position where the signal is detected corresponds to the first area (S305). As a result of the determination of S305, when a signal is detected through the first area, the plurality of images are sequentially displayed as a slide show (S310). Here, the playback speed of the slideshow may be determined in response to the sensed signal. That is, since the magnitude of the detected signal varies according to the extent of the interval between the band sensors 141 being widened or narrowed, the speed of the slide show may vary according to the magnitude of the signal.

On the other hand, when a signal is not detected through the first region as a result of S305 determination, the controller 180 determines whether the position where the signal is detected corresponds to the second region (S315). As a result of determination in S315, when a signal is not detected through the second area, the controller 180 continuously displays the one image displayed in step S300 on the flexible display unit 151. Here, the first region and the second region may be different positions in the band sensor 141, the same position and the case where the signal of the interval between the band sensor 141 is widened, and the signal of which the interval is narrowed is respectively detected. It may be.

On the other hand, if a signal is detected through the second region as a result of the S315 determination, the plurality of images are displayed as a slide show in reverse order (S320). Here, the playback speed of the slideshow may be determined in response to the sensed signal.

Next, when a signal is detected by the band sensor 141, the controller 180 determines whether the position where the signal is detected corresponds to the third region (S325). As a result of the determination in S325, when the signal is not detected through the third region, the slide show displayed in operation S310 or S320 is performed.

On the other hand, if a signal is detected through the third region as a result of the S325 determination, the speed of the slide show displayed in step S310 or S320 is changed to correspond to the detected signal (S330).

The signals sensed in steps S305 and S315 may be temporarily detected signals. Therefore, when the signal is temporarily sensed, the slideshow may be displayed, and the slideshow may be displayed on the flexible display unit 151 even when the signal is not detected through the band sensor 141.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling operation of a portable terminal according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 7, the controller 180 displays a part of the image on the flexible display unit 151 (S400). The image may be not only an image stored in the memory 160 but also a standby screen of a portable terminal or an execution screen of a menu.

Next, when a signal is detected by the band sensor 141, the controller 180 determines whether the position where the signal is detected corresponds to the first region (S405). As a result of determination in S405, when a signal is not detected through the first area, the controller continuously displays a part of the image displayed in operation S400 on the flexible display unit 151.

Meanwhile, as a result of determination in S405, when a signal is detected through the first area, the controller 180 scrolls the image in the direction of the first area (S415). Here, the direction of the first region refers to the direction of the first region in which a signal is detected based on the center of the band sensor 141. Since the first area is one of all areas in which the signal can be detected by the band sensor 141, the direction of the first area may be all 360 degrees based on the center of the band sensor 141. For example, when a signal is detected at the left side based on the center of the band sensor 141, the controller 180 scrolls the image to the left side.

Next, the controller 180 displays a portion of the scrolled image on the flexible display unit 151 (S415).

As shown in FIG. 8, the controller 180 displays an arbitrary number of images on the flexible display unit 151 (S500). The image may be not only an image stored in the memory 160 but also a standby screen of a mobile terminal, an execution screen of a menu, or a menu icon.

Next, when a signal is detected by the band sensor 141, the controller 180 determines whether the position where the signal is detected corresponds to the first region (S505). As a result of determination in S505, when a signal is detected through the first area, the number of images smaller than the arbitrary number is displayed on the flexible display unit 151 (S510).

Meanwhile, as a result of determination in S505, when a signal is not detected through the first area, the controller 180 determines whether the position where the signal is detected corresponds to the second area (S515). As a result of determination in S515, when a signal is not detected through the second area, the controller 180 continuously displays the arbitrary number of images displayed in operation S500 on the flexible display unit 151. Here, the first region and the second region may be different positions in the band sensor 141, the same position and the case where the signal of the interval between the band sensor 141 is widened, and the signal of which the interval is narrowed is respectively detected. It may be.

Whether the flexible display unit 151 is folded or bent may be detected through the band sensor 141. As a result of determination S605, when the flexible display unit 151 is not folded or bent, deformation of the image does not occur.

Next, as a result of determination S605, when the flexible display unit 151 is folded or bent, a portion of the rear surface of the folded flexible display unit 151 is displayed in the display direction of the image (S610). That is, the user may bend a portion of the flexible display unit 151 on which the image is displayed to see a portion of the rear surface of the flexible display unit 151.

Next, the controller 180 determines whether a character is input to a portion of the rear surface of the displayed flexible display unit 151 (S615). As a result of the determination of S615, when no character is input, no deformation on the image occurs. On the other hand, if the character is input, as a result of the determination S615, the controller 180 displays the input character on the flexible display unit 151 so as to overlap the image displayed in step S600 (S625). On the other hand, after the input characters are displayed on the flexible display unit 151 so as to overlap with the image, and then the flexible display unit 151 is unfolded again, the flexible display unit 151 may display the images and the characters displayed so as to overlap the images.

As a result of the determination in S710, when a signal is not detected through the first area, the image displayed in step S700 is maintained.

On the other hand, when a signal is detected through the first region as a result of S710 determination, the controller 180 changes an arbitrary region selected in S705 to a predetermined color (S715). The predetermined color may be not only a single color but also a specific image set by the user or a color generated by the user.

Next, the controller 180 determines whether the position where the signal is detected corresponds to the second area (S820). As a result of the determination of S820, when no signal is detected, the changed image is continuously displayed in operation S715. On the other hand, if a signal is detected as a result of the S820 determination, in step S715, any area changed to a predetermined color is changed back to the original image displayed in the step S700. Here, the first region and the second region may be different positions in the band sensor 141, the same position and the case where the signal of the interval between the band sensor 141 is widened, and the signal of which the interval is narrowed is respectively detected.

Next, the controller 180 displays a specific image on the background image (S805). Here, the specific image may be a menu icon, an avatar, or a character.

Next, when a signal is detected by the band sensor 141, the controller 180 determines whether the position where the signal is detected corresponds to the first region (S810). The first area may be an area close to an area where the specific image is displayed.

As a result of the determination in S810, when no signal is detected, the display of the specific image displayed in operation S805 is maintained. As a result of determination in S810, when a signal is detected, the specific image is moved or deformed and displayed on the flexible display unit 151 in operation S815. For example, the menu icon may be displayed by changing its position whenever a signal is detected through the first area.

The signal detected in step S805 may be a temporarily detected signal. Therefore, when the signal is temporarily sensed, the moved or deformed specific image is displayed, and even when the signal is not detected through the band sensor 141, the moved or deformed specific image may be displayed on the flexible display unit 151. .
