Patent number: 12149879Abstract: A wireless sound device capable of effectively receiving a command that meets a user's intention without an error despite a user input unit having a limited size, and a method for controlling the same. The wireless sound device includes a wireless communication unit for wireless communication with an external device, a touch sensor for sensing a touch input of a user in a touch standby mode, a force sensor for sensing a force based on the touch input, a sound output unit for outputting an audio signal received from the external device, and a controller that controls a touch mode of the wireless sound device to be switched to a touch accepting mode or a touch ignoring mode in response to the touch input, and, when a touch validity of the touch input is positive, the controller controls the touch mode to be switched to a touch accepting mode or a touch ignoring mode based on a force validity of the touch input.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2022Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Joonwon Byun, Sangkuk Jeon, Mansoo Sin, Hoyoun Lee, Hyojin Kim, Yehan Ahn

Patent number: 10055633Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile terminal and a method for controlling the same. The present invention determines whether received touch input is touch input by a finger of a user and, when a function executed by the touch input requires authentication, provides a user interface necessary for authentication differently according to whether the touch input is touch input by the user's finger. Accordingly, fingerprint authentication is processed as necessary, thereby improving processor efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2015Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Yehan Ahn, Cheegoog Kim, Hangshin Cho, Mansoo Sin
