Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a method of operating a mobile terminal, and more particularly, to a method of operating a mobile terminal capable of freely moving a cursor displayed on a screen.
A portable terminal is a portable device that is portable and has one or more functions of performing voice and video calls, inputting and outputting information, and storing data.
In the portable terminal implemented in the form of such a multimedia device, new attempts have been applied in various ways in terms of hardware and software to implement complex functions.
The mobile terminal, which is being developed as a multimedia device, supports a function of immediately capturing multimedia data such as music data, pictures, and videos and transmitting it to the outside.
In addition, the portable terminal includes a recent touch screen, and supports the portable terminal by simply touching the touch screen.
Although the portable terminal is capable of touch recognition on the front of the display unit, convenience is improved, but there is a limitation in the touch manipulation using a finger unless a touch pen is used. You can always carry the touch pen with you, but it is cumbersome and lost, so it is not a reliable solution. In addition, even when the touch pen is used, movement to a desired position may not be easy depending on the shape of the touch pen.
In particular, when detailed manipulation is required, such as moving the cursor displayed on the screen in column or single character units, there is a limit in moving the cursor using a finger, and thus a method for supplementing the cursor is required.
An object of the present invention is to provide a portable terminal and an operation method capable of precise movement without a separate touch pen by supporting a direction key to move the cursor displayed on the screen in character units or column units when inputting characters.
In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of operating a portable terminal, wherein when a character is input, a keypad for inputting a character is displayed on one region of an operation screen, and a character input through the keypad is displayed on a predetermined region of the operation screen. Displaying; Changing the keypad with a direction key to display the selected area on the screen; And moving and displaying a cursor displayed on the operation screen corresponding to a direction indicated by a selected key among the direction keys.
In addition, the portable terminal according to the present invention includes a display unit for displaying an operation screen; And displaying a keypad for text input in one region of the operation screen, and when the region in which the input character is displayed in the operation screen is selected, changes the keypad to an directional key, and displays a direction indicated by the selected key among the directional keys. And a control unit for moving and displaying a cursor displayed on the operation screen.
According to the present invention, a mobile terminal equipped with a front touch function displays a direction key on the screen to support cursor movement using the direction key, thereby allowing free movement of the cursor and fine movement of the cursor, and by simple operation during character input. Since the direction key can be displayed and changed to another input interface, user convenience can be improved.
Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings will be described the present invention in more detail.
The portable terminal described in the present specification includes a mobile phone, a smart phone, a notebook computer, a digital broadcasting terminal, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a portable multimedia player (PMP), navigation, and the like.
