Some mobile terminals include additional functionality to play games, while others are implemented as multimedia devices. Moreover, recent mobile terminals can receive broadcast or multicast signals to watch video or television programs. Further, efforts for supporting and increasing the functions of the mobile terminal continue. The foregoing efforts include not only changes and improvements in the structural components forming the mobile terminal, but also improvements in software or hardware.

In general, the touch screen is formed by the display module and the touch pad having a mutual layer structure. The touch screen includes a capacitive type and a static type type, and is configured to detect not only the touch input position and area but also the touch input pressure.

Therefore, when a user draws text (handwriting input) and a picture on the touch screen, the controller performs a pattern recognition process for recognizing the corresponding writing input or drawing input as a character and an image, respectively.

In addition, when the user taps the picture or picture in a predetermined direction using multi-touch to edit a picture or a picture on the touch screen, the controller rotates the picture or picture by a predetermined angle according to the rotation direction.

However, in the related art, when controlling the angle of the screen displayed on the touch screen, a predetermined angle, for example, 90 degrees and 180 degrees can be rotated, but a user interface for adjusting a fine rotation angle is not supported.

An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile terminal and a screen rotation control method thereof that can easily control the rotation angle of the screen when you want to rotate the screen on the touch screen.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a mobile terminal and a screen rotation control method thereof which can be applied to application programs such as photo editing by fine angle control of a screen.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of controlling a screen rotation of a mobile terminal, the method including: multi-touching a rotation center and a rotation point on a screen; Displaying a transparent screen rotation layer when the multi-touch is detected; And finely adjusting the rotation of the screen by rotating the rotation point in a predetermined direction according to the fine angle displayed on the screen rotation transparent layer. In this case, the rotation of the screen stops when the touch on the rotation center or the rotation point is released.

The screen rotation transparent layer is displayed when the rotation center and the rotation point are touched for a predetermined time or when the rotation speed is less than a predetermined speed, and includes a plurality of fine angles in the form of a compass. The plurality of minute angles are set in a menu displayed when the screen rotation transparent layer is touched.

The screen is rotated at an angle of 90 * n according to the rotation speed when the rotation speed with respect to the rotation point is more than a predetermined speed.

The screen rotation control method of the mobile terminal further includes the step of rotating the screen continuously by the minute angle displayed on the screen rotation transparent layer in the direction when the rotation point bounces in a certain direction. In this case, the rotation of the screen stops when the touch on the rotation center is released.

According to the present invention, when the user rotates the screen displayed on the touch screen, the user can not only control the rotation of the screen at a fine angle by rotating the screen according to the rotation speed or providing a transparent screen rotation layer. There are also advantages that can be applied to applications such as photo editing.

In this case, the size and shape of the transparent layer may be appropriately selected and set by the user, and the fine angle displayed on the transparent layer is adjusted according to the size and shape of the transparent layer 50. In particular, the fine angle displayed on the transparent area is set through a separate pop-up window displayed when the transparent layer is touched.

If the user touches a certain portion of the screen while the screen is being rotated, the screen may be rotated in reverse. In this case, when the user does not stop the screen at the desired angle, the trouble of having to rotate the screen from the beginning again or in the opposite direction can be eliminated.

If the user releases a finger that touches the first point (center of rotation) while the screen is being rotated, the screen corresponding to the released rotation angle is finally displayed.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a screen rotation control method of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the user touches the rotation center with one finger and touches a certain point with another finger for a predetermined time, the controller 180 displays a transparent layer including the two touch points ( S10-S30). On the transparent layer, fine adjustment angles such as compasses, which can confirm fine angles, are displayed.

Accordingly, the user can rotate the screen by a desired angle by rotating the screen by the fine adjustment angle displayed on the transparent layer with the other finger based on the rotation center.

7A and 7B illustrate an example of rotating the screen at an angle or finely using an embodiment according to the present invention.

7A illustrates an example in which a user rotates a screen (web page) of an internet browser by 90 degrees by touching a predetermined point with another finger while touching a rotation center. When the user rotates the screen by 90 degrees, the controller 180 automatically converts the screen display from the horizontal view to the vertical view. In addition, the present invention may finely adjust the rotation angle using the screen rotation transparent layer on the web page.

7B illustrates an example of finely adjusting the rotation of the screen at a desired angle using the screen rotation transparent layer.

As described above, the present invention enables the user to check and adjust the detailed rotation angle by rotating the screen according to the rotation speed or providing a transparent screen rotation layer when the user rotates the screen displayed on the touch screen.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the above-described method may be embodied as computer readable codes on a medium in which a program is recorded. The computer-readable medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer-readable medium include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, optical data storage, and the like, and also implemented in the form of a carrier wave (for example, transmission over the Internet) . The computer may also include a control unit of the terminal.

The mobile terminal described above can be applied to not only the configuration and method of the embodiments described above but also all or some of the embodiments may be selectively combined so that various modifications may be made to the embodiments It is possible.
