The camera 120 processes image frames such as still images or moving images obtained by the image sensor in the video communication mode or the photographing mode. The processed image frame can be displayed on the display unit 310. [ The image frame processed by the camera 120 may be stored in the memory 260 or transmitted to the outside through the wireless communication unit 250. When an image signal or a video signal is used as an input for information processing, the image signal and the video signal are transmitted to the control unit 210.

The microphone receives an external acoustic signal by a microphone in a communication mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, and the like and processes it as electrical voice data. The processed voice data can be converted into a form that can be transmitted to the mobile communication base station through the mobile communication unit and output when the voice data is in the call mode. A variety of noise canceling algorithms may be used to remove the noise generated by the microphone in receiving an external acoustic signal.

In addition, the sensing unit 130 may function as an input unit for receiving an input signal for information processing of a device, and may perform various sensing functions such as recognition of connection to an external device.

The sensing unit 130 may include a proximity sensor, a pressure sensor 133, a motion sensor, a fingerprint recognition sensor, an iris recognition sensor 134, a heartbeat detection sensor 135, a skin temperature sensor, And the like.

The proximity sensor makes it possible to detect the presence of an object to be approached or nearby, without mechanical contact.

The acceleration sensor 132, which can be used for a motion sensor, is a device that converts an acceleration change in one direction into an electric signal and is widely used along with the development of MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) technology. Further, the gyro sensor 131 is a sensor for measuring the angular velocity, and can sense the direction of rotation with respect to the reference direction.

The heartbeat detection sensor 135 measures the change in the optical blood flow according to the change in the thickness of the blood vessel caused by the heartbeat. The skin temperature sensor measures the skin temperature as the resistance value changes in response to the temperature change. The skin resistance sensor measures the skin's electrical resistance.

The iris recognition sensor 134 performs a function of recognizing a person using iris information of an eye having characteristics unique to each person. The human iris is completed after 18 months of age, and the circular iris pattern, which is raised near the medial side of the iris, is almost unchanged once determined, and the shape of each person is different. Therefore, iris recognition is the application of information technology to security for information of different iris characteristics. That is, it is an authentication method developed to identify people by analyzing the shape and color of iris and the morphology of retinal capillaries.

The iris recognition sensor 134 encodes a pattern of the iris and converts it into a video signal to compare and determine. The general operation principle is as follows. First, when the user's eye is aligned with the mirror located at the center of the iris recognizer at a certain distance, the infrared camera adjusts the focus through the zoom lens. After the iris camera images the user's iris as a photo, the iris recognition algorithm analyzes the iris pattern of the iris region to generate iris codes unique to the user. Finally, a comparison search is performed at the same time that the iris code is registered in the database.

Distance sensors include two-point distance measurement, triangulation (infrared, natural light) and ultrasonic. As in the conventional triangulation principle, when the object to be measured from two paths is reflected by a rectangular prism and incident on two image sensors, the distance between two points is displayed when the relative positions are matched. In this case, there is a method of making natural light (manual type) and a method of emitting infrared rays. The ultrasonic method is a method of transmitting ultrasonic waves having sharp direction to the object to be measured and measuring the time until the reflected wave from the object is received to find the distance. A piezoelectric element is used as the receiving sensor.

The Doppler radar includes a continuous wave radar that transmits and receives a sinusoidal wave that is not pulse-modulated, and a pulse radar that uses a pulse-modulated wave to a square wave as an electromagnetic wave signal waveform.

In the continuous wave radar, the modulation frequency is relatively high in order to obtain the performance of the Doppler frequency filter. Therefore, it is inappropriate for the radar for the long distance, but the motion of the human body or the vehicle is reproduced as a stable sound by selecting the Doppler frequency as the audible frequency band. There is a feature that can be. The pulse radar measures the distance to the target by the time from the pulse transmission to the reflection echo reception. There is a method referred to as a pulse compression laser that performs frequency modulation or phase modulation within the transmission pulse width.
