Apparatus and method for controlling mobile terminal user interface execution
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal control apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of touch sensors on a rear of the mobile terminal;
a touch recognition unit recognizing a touch of one or more fingers sensed by at least one of the plurality of touch sensors and displaying a respective user interface on a front screen on a front of the mobile terminal according to a location of the recognized touch of the one or more fingers, so as to match a location of the displayed respective user interface on the front screen to the location of the recognized touch of the one or more fingers; and
an execution unit recognizing a respective change in the touch of the one or more fingers and executing the displayed respective user interface on a basis of a result of the recognition of the respective change in the touch of the one or more fingers,wherein, when all user interfaces cannot be displayed on the front screen of the mobile terminal, the touch recognition unit additionally displays a sub user interface or a movable user interface on the front screen of the mobile terminal, and recognizes a change in touches of user fingers on the rear of the mobile terminal matched to one or more locations of the sub user interface or movable user interface.

13. A mobile terminal apparatus, comprising:
-
a plurality of touch sensors on a rear of a mobile terminal; a touch recognition unit configured to recognize a touch and location of one or more fingers sensed by at least one of the plurality of touch sensors and then configured to display a respective user interface on a front screen on a front of the mobile terminal at a second location based on the recognized location of the one or more fingers; and an execution unit configured to recognize a change in the touch of the one or more fingers and configured to execute the displayed respective user interface on a basis of a result of the recognition of the change in the touch of the one or more fingers, wherein the touch recognition unit sets locations and numbers of user interfaces to be displayed on the front screen based on a determined distribution of touch areas on the rear of the mobile terminal touched by the one or more fingers, and wherein, when the determined distribution of the touch areas on the rear of the mobile terminal represents that a maximum number of fingers that can simultaneously touch an area on the rear of the mobile terminal is less than a number of available user interfaces to be displayed, user interfaces of the plurality of available user interfaces that are not initially displayed on the front screen are subsequently available to a user through a scrolling operation between the user interfaces by the one or more fingers that touch the rear of the mobile terminal. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A mobile terminal control method, comprising:
-
recognizing a touch of one or more fingers sensed by at least one of a plurality of touch sensors on a rear of the mobile terminal; displaying a respective user interface on a front screen of the mobile terminal according to a location of the recognized touch of the one or more fingers, so as to match a location of the displayed respective user interface on the front screen to the location of the recognized touch of the one or more fingers; and recognizing a change in the touch of the one or more fingers and executing a displayed user interface based on a result of the recognition of the change in the touch of the one or more fingers, wherein the displaying of the respective user interface includes simultaneously displaying a plurality of user interfaces on the front screen on the front of the mobile terminal according to recognized touches of a plurality of fingers, and wherein, when all user interfaces cannot be displayed on the front screen of the mobile terminal, the displaying of the user interface includes additionally displaying a sub user interface or a movable user interface on the front screen of the mobile terminal and the recognizing of the change in the touch of the one or more fingers further includes recognizing a change in the recognized touches on the rear of the mobile terminal matched to one or more locations on the sub user interface or the movable user interface. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)
