Waterproof device for diving and method for operating same
The present invention relates to a waterproof device for diving including a mobile terminal and an openable and closable waterproof housing for diving adapted to detachably mount the mobile terminal thereonto, wherein the mobile terminal includes an I/O module for displaying at least one of an information pop-up and a functional mode, a first sensor part for detecting internal pressure of the waterproof housing for diving, and a control unit for determining whether the waterproof housing for diving is normally fastened using the detected internal pressure.
1 . A waterproof device for diving comprising:
a mobile terminal; and
an openable and closable waterproof housing adapted to detachably mount the mobile terminal,
wherein the mobile terminal comprises:
a touchscreen for displaying at least one of an information pop-up and a functional mode;
a first pressure sensor for detecting internal pressure of the waterproof housing; and
a processor configured to determine whether the waterproof housing is normally fastened using the detected internal pressure,
wherein the processor is configured to calculate an inclination of the internal pressure at predetermined intervals and determine whether water leakage occurs from the waterproof housing based on the calculated inclination of the internal pressure.
2 . The waterproof device for diving according to claim 1 , wherein when it is determined through the processor that the waterproof housing is normally fastened, the touchscreen displays at least one of the information pop-up and the functional mode.
3 . The waterproof device for diving according to claim 1 , wherein when connection setting of the mobile terminal corresponds to the information pop-up, the touchscreen displays the functional mode.
4 . The waterproof device for diving according to claim 1 , wherein the touchscreen displays the information pop-up having at least one of a Bluetooth connection inducing pop-up and a preparation and caution information pop-up before diving and the functional mode having at least one of a diving mode and a camera mode.
5 . The waterproof device for diving according to claim 1 , wherein the processor determines whether the internal pressure is in an error range of pre-stored basic internal pressure, and when the internal pressure is in the error range of the pre-stored basic internal pressure, the touchscreen releases the functional mode and performs conversion into a home screen.
6 . The waterproof device for diving according to claim 1 , wherein the processor determines whether the waterproof housing is normally or abnormally fastened using a difference between the internal pressure after the waterproof housing has been closed and the basic internal pressure before the waterproof housing is closed.
7 . The waterproof device for diving according to claim 1 , further comprising a second pressure sensor configured to detect external pressure of the waterproof housing.
8 . The waterproof device for diving according to claim 7 , wherein the processor determines whether the waterproof device is currently located above water or under water using the detected external pressure.
9 . The waterproof device for diving according to claim 8 , wherein when it is determined that the waterproof device is currently located above water, the processor determines whether the waterproof housing is normally or abnormally fastened according to a difference value between the internal pressure and the external pressure.
10 . The waterproof device for diving according to claim 9 , wherein when it is determined that the waterproof housing is normally fastened, the processor determines whether water leakage occurs from the waterproof housing according to a determination as to whether the calculated inclination of the internal pressure at predetermined intervals is a negative number.
11 . The waterproof device for diving according to claim 8 , wherein when it is determined that the waterproof device is currently located under water, the processor calculates a water level of the waterproof device, based on the external pressure, and determines whether the waterproof housing is normally or abnormally fastened using the calculated water level and the difference between the external pressure and the internal pressure.
12 . The waterproof device for diving according to claim 11 , wherein when it is determined that the waterproof housing is normally fastened, the processor determines whether water leakage occurs from the waterproof housing according to a determination as to whether the calculated inclination of the internal pressure at predetermined intervals is a positive number.
13 . The waterproof device for diving according to claim 1 , wherein the processor detects whether the normal fastened state determination is performed, and based on pre-stored models of mobile terminals covered by insurance, thus determines whether the mobile terminal is covered by the insurance.
14 . The waterproof device for diving according to claim 1 , wherein the processor transmits water leakage occurrence to a customer center server.
15 . A method for operating a waterproof device for diving having a mobile terminal for detecting internal pressure and an openable and closable waterproof housing adapted to detachably mount the mobile terminal thereonto, the method comprising the steps of:
detecting the internal pressure of the waterproof housing;
determining whether the waterproof housing is normally fastened using the detected internal pressure;
displaying at least one of an information pop-up and a functional mode;
calculating an inclination of the internal pressure at predetermined intervals; and
determining whether water leakage occurs from the waterproof housing based on the calculated inclination of the internal pressure.
16 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein in the step of displaying at least one of an information pop-up and a functional mode, when it is determined that the waterproof housing is normally fastened, at least one of the information pop-up and the functional mode is displayed.
17 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein in the step of displaying at least one of an information pop-up and a functional mode, when connection setting of the mobile terminal corresponds to the information pop-up, the functional mode is displayed.
18 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein in the step of displaying at least one of an information pop-up and a functional mode, the information pop-up having at least one of a Bluetooth connection inducing pop-up and a preparation and caution information pop-up before diving and the functional mode having at least one of a diving mode and a camera mode are displayed.
19 . The method according to claim 15 , further comprising the steps of:
determining whether the internal pressure is in an error range of pre-stored basic internal pressure; and
when the internal pressure is in the error range of the pre-stored basic internal pressure, releasing the functional mode and performing conversion into a home screen.
20 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein the step of determining whether the waterproof housing is normally fastened is carried out to determine whether the waterproof housing is normally or abnormally fastened using a difference between the internal pressure after the waterproof housing has been closed and the basic internal pressure before the waterproof housing is closed.
