DEVICE FOR PROCESSING A ULTRAVIOLET INDEX IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL, AND A METHOD THEREFOR, PARTICULARLY FOR INFORMING A USER OF ULTRAVIOLET INTENSITY BY ATTACHING A ULTRAVIOLET SENSOR TO THE MOBILE TERMINAL

摘要

PURPOSE: A device for processing an ultraviolet index in a mobile communication terminal and a method therefor are provided to prevent damage due to ultraviolet rays by warning a user whether the user is exposed to the ultraviolet and informing the user of ultraviolet strength. CONSTITUTION: An ultraviolet detector(220) detects ultraviolet rays included in the sun's rays and outputs a strength signal of the detected ultraviolet rays. An ADC(Analog to Digital Converter)(270) receives an analog ultraviolet strength signal from the ultraviolet detector for converting the analog ultraviolet strength signal into digital ultraviolet strength data. An ultraviolet value database(200) stores the ultraviolet value data according to a degree having a bad influence upon human. An ultraviolet data comparing unit(280) compares digital data of the ADC(270) with predetermined ultraviolet data stored in the ultraviolet value database(200), and outputs the result to a microprocessor(210).
