Abstract:
A method and apparatus for unlocking a mobile terminal can immediately execute a specific application at a lock screen. The method of unlocking a mobile terminal includes: outputting a lock screen including an icon area in which at least one icon representing an application is displayed and a pattern area that receives a pattern gesture input for unlocking; sensing a touch signal that moves a specific icon displayed in the icon area to the pattern area; determining whether a first pattern gesture for unlocking is input to the pattern area without release of the touch signal; determining, if a first pattern gesture is input, whether the input first pattern gesture corresponds with a preset unlock pattern gesture; and unlocking, if the input first pattern gesture corresponds with a preset unlock pattern gesture, the mobile terminal and executing an application corresponding to the specific icon.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to controlling an application in a mobile terminal. The present disclosure includes an application control method and apparatus for a mobile terminal, earphone device, and application control system. The method for application control in a mobile terminal may include detecting connection of earphones having a sensor for sensing earphone wearing, sending, upon detection of earphone connection, an interrogation signal to the sensor of the earphones, receiving a response signal, corresponding to the interrogation signal, from the earphones, determining whether the earphones are worn by a user on the basis of the response signal, and controlling, when the earphones are not worn, an application being executed to stop output of an audio signal to the earphones.
Abstract:
An electronic device with a touch sensor includes a body mounted with an electronic element, and a cover detachably coupled to the body. The body includes a signal generating circuitry that generates an electric signal, a first antenna that transmits the electric signal, and a touch processing circuitry that processes a touch signal received through the first antenna. The cover includes a touch sensor that is driven by the electric signal and recognizes a touch, and a second antenna connected with the touch sensor. The second antenna receives the electric signal and transmits a touch signal sensed through the touch sensor unit.
