Abstract:
A smartphone includes: a cover layer; a display module, and comprises a component configured to cause the LCD panel to perform a display function; a pressure electrode which is located under the display module; and a shielding member which is located under the pressure electrode. At least a portion of a touch sensor which senses touch in a capacitive manner is located in the display module.
Abstract:
A method for controlling a moving direction of a display object may be provided. The method includes: detecting a position of a touch input to a touch screen; determining whether the touch satisfies a scroll mode entry condition or not; setting, when the touch satisfies the scroll mode entry condition, the moving direction of the object as a direction based on the touch position; and displaying that the object moves in the moving direction, on the touch screen.
Abstract:
A menu control method may be provided that includes: determining whether or not a touch input to a touch input device by an object satisfies at least any one of a condition that the object touches the touch input device for a time period longer than a predetermined time period, a condition that the object touches with a pressure magnitude greater than a predetermined pressure magnitude, a condition that the object touches with an area greater than a predetermined area, a condition that the object touches in a predetermined pattern, a condition that the object drags from a predetermined position, and a condition that the object touches to a predetermined rhythm; displaying the menu on the touch input device when the touch input satisfies the predetermined condition; and controlling operation of the touch input device according to manipulation to the menu by the object.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting emotions in accordance with a touch pressure, a touch area and a touch time period may include: determining characteristics of a message; detecting at least one of the magnitude of the touch pressure, touch area, and touch time period of the touch when the touch is input to a touch screen of a sender's terminal; changing state information of the characteristics in accordance with at least one of the detected magnitude of the touch pressure, touch area, and touch time period of the touch; and transmitting the message including the changed state information.
Abstract:
A virtual touch pad operation method includes: determining whether or not a hovering input or a touch input to a touch screen meets a predetermined condition; entering a virtual touch pad mode when the hovering input or the touch input meets the predetermined condition; and operating a virtual touch pad. A terminal includes: a touch screen; and a controller which controls a hovering input or a touch input to the touch screen and displays a virtual touch pad on a portion of the touch screen by the hovering input, or the terminal includes: a touch screen, and a controller which distinguishes a touch input to a virtual touch pad in accordance with a pressure magnitude or area of the touch and controls the operation of the virtual touch pad. The virtual touch pad is formed on a portion of the touch screen by the touch input satisfying a predetermined condition.
