Patent Images
1. A method for controlling an operation of a portable terminal using a microphone, comprising:
- detecting an operation mode of the portable terminal and driving an audio recognition mode according to the detected operation mode to activate the microphone;
converting a contact or motion signal generated on or near the microphone into digital data and detecting audio characteristics from the converted digital data to extract audio analysis data for recognition of a type of the input signal; and
determining whether there is User Interface (UI) setting information corresponding to the extracted audio analysis data type, and performing a relevant function specified in the UI setting information according to the determination outcome.

Abstract
A method for controlling an operation of a portable terminal using a microphone includes detecting an operation mode of the portable terminal and driving an audio recognition mode according to the detected operation mode to activate the microphone, converting a signal, inputted through the microphone, into digital data and detecting audio characteristics from the digital data to extract audio analysis data for recognition of a type of the input signal, and determining whether there is UI setting information corresponding to the extracted audio analysis data type and performing a relevant function of the UI setting information.

7. An apparatus for controlling an operation of a portable terminal using a microphone, comprising:
-
a microphone; an analog/digital (A/D) converter converting a contact or motion signal, inputted from the microphone, into digital data; a memory storing a menu execution command predetermined for each User Interface (UI) setting information type; an audio data processor detecting the audio characteristics of the digital data outputted from the A/D converter and extracting audio analysis data from the detected data to recognize a type of the input signal; and a controller detecting an operation mode of the portable terminal, driving an audio recognition mode according to the detected operation mode to activate the microphone, searching the memory to determine whether there is UI setting information corresponding to the extracted audio analysis data type, and performing a relevant function of the UI setting information on the basis of the information stored in the memory. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method for controlling an operation of a portable terminal using a microphone, comprising:
-
detecting a contact or motion signal via the microphone and converting the detected signal into digital data; determining a type of input signal corresponding to the converted digital data; comparing the determined input signal type to a predetermined table having a plurality of User Interface (UI) setting information; and if there is a match between the determined input signal type to one of the UI setting information, performing a corresponding function specified in the matched UI setting information. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
