Glass type terminal having three-dimensional input device and screen control method thereof
First Claim
1. A terminal configured to be worn on a head of a user as eyewear, comprising:
- a lens coupled to a frame;
an arm coupled to a frame and having a plurality of sides comprising an upper side, a lower side opposite from the upper side, an inner side disposed to face the head of the user, and an outer side opposite the inner side;
a touch sensor located on or in at least two different sides of the plurality of sides of the arm; and
a controller operatively connected to the touch sensor and configured to control the terminal to display a screen on the lens based on touches to the touch sensor,wherein the touch sensor comprises transmit-electrodes arranged in a lengthwise direction of the arm, and receive-electrodes arranged in a widthwise direction of the arm, andwherein a bundle of the receive-electrodes are arranged on the inner side of the arm and a bundle of the transmit-electrodes are arranged at an inner corner region on the outer side of the arm.

Abstract
Disclosed are a glass type terminal capable of supporting gestures using one finger or two fingers by providing a three-dimensional input device at a temple hinged to a rim of a lens, and an input method thereof. For three-dimensional touch inputs, the temple is configured to have an upper surface, a lower surface, an inner side surface and an outer side surface provided touch sensor, respectively. Upon sensing of a touch input applied onto said one or more surfaces of the temple using one finger or two fingers, a screen displayed on a lens is controlled in correspondence to the sensed touch input. Under such configuration, a user can control the screen in a more convenient manner.

12. A method for operating a terminal configured to be worn on a head of a user as eyewear, the terminal including a lens coupled to a frame, an arm coupled to a frame and having a plurality of sides, a touch sensor located on or in at least two different sides of the plurality of sides, a camera configured to capture a still or moving picture, a movement sensor configured to sense a movement of the user'"'"'s head;
- and a controller operatively connected to the touch sensor and the movement sensor, the method comprising;
controlling the terminal to display a screen on the lens based on touches to the touch sensor, entering a capture mode when touches are detected to each of the at least two different sides for a predetermined length of time; enlarging or contracting a preview image of an object to be captured by the camera when the detected touches to the at least two different sides are moved in opposite directions; focusing the object to be captured according to a direction of movement of the user'"'"'s head detected by the movement sensor while the touches to each of the at least two different sides are maintained; and capturing an image of the object when the touches to each of the at least two different sides are removed, wherein the plurality of sides of the arm comprise an upper side, a lower side opposite from the upper side, an inner side arranged to face a head of the user, and an outer side opposite from the inner side. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
