METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ROTATION OF SCREEN AND TERMINAL AND TOUCH SYSTEM SUPPORTING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a rotation of a screen of a terminal, the method comprising:
- determining whether the terminal is arranged in a horizontal state;
checking a rotated state or a rotation change state of the terminal in the horizontal state or when the terminal is arranged in the horizontal state; and
changing a screen output orientation of a display unit of the terminal according to the rotated state or the rotation change state of the terminal in the horizontal state,wherein the checking of the rotated state or the rotation change state of the terminal comprises;
collecting angular velocity information according to rotation of the terminal based on x, y, and z axes with respect to the horizontal state; and
determining a counterclockwise rotation or a clockwise rotation of the terminal according to analysis of the angular velocity information.

Abstract
A method for controlling rotation of a screen according to a user request regardless of an orientation state of the terminal is provided. The terminal for supporting screen rotation control, includes a sensor unit including a sensor for confirming a horizontal state of the terminal and a sensor for collecting angular velocity information of the terminal, a controller for confirming the horizontal state of the terminal based on sensing information of the sensor unit, and for confirming a rotated state or a rotation change state of the terminal in a corresponding horizontal state when the terminal is arranged in the horizontal state, and a display unit for outputting a screen having a different output direction according to the rotated state or the rotation change state of the terminal.
