The control unit 180 can scroll the screen displayed on the display unit 151 in units of pages when the gesture is input in the first section 211. [

When the gesture is input to the second section 212, the controller 180 may scroll the screen by the distance moved by the input gesture. On the other hand, when the gesture is input to the third section 213, the controller 180 can scroll the screen by twice the moving distance of the input gesture. Similarly, when the gesture is input to the fourth section 214, the controller 180 may scroll the screen by five times the moving distance of the input gesture. In addition, when the gesture is input to the fifth section 215, the controller 180 may scroll the screen by ten times the moving distance of the input gesture.

For example, referring to FIGS. 2B and 2C, when the gesture 231 is input to the second section 212, the controller 180 displays the scroll window 221 at a distance corresponding to the gesture 231, In the moving direction. When the gesture 251 is input to the fifth section 215, the controller 180 moves the scroll window 241 in the direction in which the gesture is moved by a distance corresponding to the distance corresponding to the gesture 251. The distance traveled according to each section may be arbitrarily set, and the gesture may scroll the screen less than the input distance.

Therefore, the user of the mobile terminal 100 can control the screen more precisely as needed, and can move the screen faster. In addition, the above-described operation can be performed on a single screen without any additional setting, so that the screen can be scrolled more efficiently.

Referring to FIG. 2D, the speed at which the screen is scrolled can be determined by using the distance between the arbitrary surface of the area and the gesture input point in a single area without dividing the screen into a plurality of sections. The controller 180 measures the distance 263 between the gesture input area 261 and the gesture 262 when the gesture 262 is input to the gesture input area 261 of the screen. The control unit 180 determines a scrolling speed of the screen in accordance with the measured distance 263. The control unit 180 may increase the scrolling speed of the screen in proportion to the measured distance 263 or may control to have an arbitrary screen scrolling speed according to the measured distance 263.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the user scrolls the screen, the user scrolls the screen displayed on the display unit 151 of the mobile terminal 100 differently depending on the position at which the gesture is input can do. Therefore, there is an advantage that the screen displayed on the screen can be controlled more efficiently.

3A to 3D are diagrams for explaining a method of controlling a scroll speed according to contents according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 180 may change the scrolling speed of the screen according to the content displayed on the display unit 151. [ For example, when the content having low importance is displayed on the display unit 151, the control unit 180 increases the scroll speed of the screen. When the content containing important information is displayed on the display unit 151, It is possible to control the scrolling speed of the display device 1 to be slow.

The importance level of the content displayed on the display unit 151 may be predetermined, including the degree of importance of the content. However, when the online portal site or the newspaper is displayed on the display unit 151, the control unit 180 can set the fonts of the general font to be of low importance, and the fonts of the pictures, the moving picture and the font can be set to high importance.

Referring to FIG. 3A, a character 312 displayed on the display unit 151 is a font of a general size. When a gesture 311 for scrolling is input, the control unit 180 can quickly scroll the screen.

3B, a character 322 displayed on the display unit 151 is displayed larger than a font of a general size. When a gesture 321 for scrolling is input, the controller 180 scrolls the screen If characters 322 displayed larger than normal size fonts are displayed on the screen, the scroll speed can be reduced to scroll more slowly. In FIG. 3B, characters are displayed in a larger size than a general size font. However, in the case of contents such as photographs and moving pictures, the speed of scrolling can be reduced.

Also, important content is displayed and scrolls slowly while the important content is scrolled and disappears from the screen. When only general content is displayed on the screen, the scrolling speed can be accelerated.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the speed of scrolling is adjusted according to the importance of contents on the screen displayed on the display unit 151, so that the user of the mobile terminal 100 rapidly scrolls the screen, .

4A to 4C are views for explaining a method of displaying a shortcut button according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 180 collects and displays on the display unit 151 buttons selectable on the screen.

When the screen is not displayed on the display unit 151 at a time but scrolling is required, the user of the mobile terminal 100 scrolls the screen to a position where the button is displayed to search for a button for switching to another screen displayed on the screen. However, according to the present invention, the controller 180 may collect all selectable buttons included in the screen and display the pop-up window on the screen.

Referring to FIG. 4A, the controller 180 may display all the buttons included in the screen when the screen is not displayed on the display unit 151 at a time and scrolling is required. For example, the buttons 411, 412, 413, and 414 are buttons that are collected on a screen that is not displayed at one time on the display unit 151 but needs to be scrolled. The control unit 180 may display these buttons in the pop-up window 401. [ When the buttons 411, 412, 413, and 414 displayed in the pop-up window 401 are selected, the screen may be switched to a previous screen, a next screen, or the like.

Also, the pop-up window 401 may be located at an arbitrary position. The control unit 180 can move the pop-up window 401 to a desired position when a gesture for moving the pop-up window 401 is input to the pop-up window 401. [ Therefore, the information displayed under the pop-up window 401 by the pop-up window 401 can be avoided from being interfered.

Referring to FIG. 4B, in another embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal 100 may include a second display unit 421 in addition to the display unit 151. The second display unit 421 may be disposed at a position separate from the display unit 151. [ The second display unit 421 may operate independently of the display unit 151 and may include other modules. The second display unit 421 can be operated separately even when the display unit 151 is not operated and the second display unit 421 can be operated separately even when the display unit 151 is off to display the state of the mobile terminal 100. [ The display unit 421 can display information in a turned-on state. The second display unit 421 includes a touch sensor, and the touch sensor senses the pressure of the touch applied to the touch screen. The touch sensor can detect whether an object touching the touch screen touches the touch screen. In addition, the controller 180 may display the button on the second display unit 421 when the screen is not displayed on the display unit 151 at a time and scrolling is required. However, if all the buttons are not displayed on the second display unit 421, the controller 180 scrolls the screen displayed on the second display unit 421 when the scroll gesture is input to the second display unit 421, So that the button can be displayed on the second display unit 421.

Accordingly, when the screen is not displayed on the display unit 151 at a time and scrolling is required, the controller 180 displays the button on the second display unit 151, so that the user of the mobile terminal 100 can view the screen without interference generated by the pop- The advantage of being able to press the button easily is obtained.

The mobile terminal 100 includes a touch sensor, and the touch sensor senses a pressure of a touch applied to the touch screen. The touch sensor can detect whether an object touching the touch screen touches the touch screen. Further, the touch sensor can recognize the pressure applied by the object touching the touch screen to the touch screen in two or more steps. That is, the touch sensor distinguishes the pressure applied to the touch screen so as to distinguish whether the object touches the touch screen with a weak touch or a strong touch. On the other hand, for convenience of explanation, the act of separating and recognizing the pressure applied by the object on the touch screen is called "force touch".

4C, when the pop-up window 430 includes one or more buttons 433 and covers the selection window 432 of the screen displayed below the pop-up window 430, the button 433 is pressed using the force touch, And the selection window 432 can be separately selected.

For example, the control unit 180 can select the selection window 432 when the gesture 431 is a general touch and the button 433 when it is a force touch. That is, even if the selection gesture is inputted to the same position, the pressure of the gesture can be recognized and the user of the mobile terminal 100 can select the selection object displayed on the desired layer from the selection windows displayed on the plurality of layers.

Also, the pop-up window 430 may be displayed only when the force touch is input to the display unit 151 of the mobile terminal 100. For example, before the force touch is inputted, the pop-up window 430 is not displayed. When the force touch is inputted to the display unit 151, the control unit 180 displays the pop-up window 430, All the buttons included in the screen can be displayed when scrolling is not required at one time.

Also, the control unit 180 may display the pop-up window 430 at the position where the force touch is input.

The present invention can select a selectable object of a popup window 430 displayed on a new layer and a selectable object displayed on a layer of the original screen by using the force touch. Accordingly, there is an advantage that the limitation of object selection by the pop-up window 430 can be removed.

5A to 5E are views for explaining a method of compressing and displaying contents of a screen according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the controller 180 may compress the content displayed on the screen and display the compressed content on one screen. If the screen is not displayed on the display unit 151 at a time and scrolling is required, the controller 180 compresses the screen according to the property of the content included in the screen, and displays the contents of the screen on the display unit 151. For example, referring to FIG. 5A, the controller 180 compresses the content indicated by a character to display characters 511 without considering the contents of the characters. In addition, content containing pictures can be compressed and displayed. If the compression ratio is low, the aspect ratio of the picture may be changed to display the picture in a pressed state (514). However, if the contents of the photograph can not be grasped by changing the aspect ratio of the photograph due to the high compression ratio, the representative color included in the photograph may be displayed (512). For example, when the photograph includes a lot of people, the controller 180 can display the compressed display in a color similar to that of the human skin color. In the case where a large number of snow images are included, such as a ski resort, So that the contents included in the picture can be inferred through the color of the compressed screen.

In addition, when displaying with text contents, the color of the line may be displayed differently for each paragraph. For example, in the case of the character display 511 and the character display 513, since they are character contents of different paragraphs, they can be displayed as lines having different colors.

Referring to FIG. 5B, when a gesture for selecting one area on the compressed screen is input, the controller 180 can display contents corresponding to one area. For example, when a selection gesture is input to one area 521, the control unit 180 displays a pop-up window 522 displaying the contents of the area, and can display what the content of the area is. However, unlike the drawing, a screen corresponding to one area may be displayed on the entire display unit 151 instead of the pop-up window 522.

5C and 5D, when a gesture for selecting one area 531 is input to the scroll area on the compressed screen, the controller 180 displays a screen corresponding to one area 531 5D.

Referring to FIG. 5E, when the controller 180 compresses the screen to display the screen on one screen, the selectable buttons 551, 552, 553, and 554 can be displayed without compression. Accordingly, the user of the mobile terminal 100 can easily select a selectable button.
