Hereinafter, an information display method according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 3 to 4. Fig.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an information display method according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

First, the control unit 401 determines whether the touch screen of the display unit 402 (or the touch screen display unit) is in a locked state (touch screen lock mode) (S11).

The control unit 401 determines whether information is received when the touch screen of the display unit 402 (or the touch screen display unit) is in a locked state (a touch screen lock mode) (S12). For example, when the touch screen of the display unit 402 (or the touch screen display unit) is in a locked state (touch screen lock mode), the control unit 401 displays information (e.g., a message) Is received.

When the information is received when the touch screen of the display unit 402 (or the touch screen display unit) is in the locked state (the touch screen lock mode), the control unit 401 displays a window for blocking the received information and the received information And simultaneously displays them on the display unit 402 (S13). For example, when the control unit 401 receives a message when the touch screen of the display unit 402 (or the touch screen display unit) is in a locked state (touch screen lock mode), the control unit 401 displays the received message and the received message And simultaneously displays a window on the display unit 402.

5 is an exemplary view showing information and windows displayed on the display unit according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

5, when the message (5-1) is received when the touch screen of the display unit 402 (or the touch screen display unit) is in a locked state (touch screen lock mode), the control unit 401 And simultaneously displays the received message (5-1) and the window (5-2) covering the received message (5-1) on the display unit (402). The control unit 401 displays an icon 5-3 indicating that the message is received on the window 5-2. The control unit 401 may display the window 5-2 on the received message 5-1 so that a part of the received message 5-1 is exposed.

The control unit 401 determines whether the received message 5-1, the window 5-2, and the icon 5-3 are displayed when the touch screen of the display unit 402 is in the locked state 3 may be displayed on the touch screen as well as an area (or icon) 5-4 for unlocking may be displayed on the display unit 402.

The control unit 401 displays a window for requesting a password when the icon for unlocking is touched by the user on the display unit 402. When the password is input, Is displayed on the display unit (402). For example, when the touch screen of the display unit 402 (or the touch screen display unit) is in a locked state, the control unit 401 displays the received message 5-1, the window 5-2, 5-3 in the first display area of the display unit 402 and displays the icon for unlocking in the second display area of the display unit 402 and the touch screen of the display unit 402 is locked Only the first display area and the second display area of the display unit 402 are activated and all the display areas except for the first display area and the second display area are inactivated.

The control unit 401 determines whether the window 5-2 displayed on the display unit 402 is selected by the user when the touch screen of the display unit 402 is locked (S14). For example, the control unit 401 determines whether the window 5-2 displayed on the display unit 402 is dragged by the user when the touch screen of the display unit 402 is locked.

The control unit 401 selectively removes the received information or window when the window 5-2 displayed on the display unit 402 is selected by the user when the touch screen of the display unit 402 is locked (S15). For example, when the window 5-2 displayed on the display unit 402 is dragged when the touch screen of the display unit 402 is locked, the control unit 401 controls the window 5 -2) or removes the window (5-2) and the information (5-1).

6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method of displaying information displayed on a display unit according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

6, the control unit 401 determines whether a part of the window 5-2 displayed on the received message 5-1 (a part of the window folded or a window edge part) , The window 5-2 displayed on the received message 5-1 may be removed so that the received message is exposed.

The controller 410 controls the window 5-2 so that when a part of the window 5-2 displayed on the received message 5-1 is dragged in the opposite direction of the exposed message, -2) may be removed. For example, when the control unit 401 has been dragged by the user from a part of the window 5-2 (for example, a window edge portion) to a center position of the window, (For example, the edge portion of the window) to the center portion of the window 5-2 may be removed in the same manner as the moving speed of the drag.

The control unit 401 displays the scrolling bar on the information exposed by removing the window 5-2. Accordingly, the user can confirm the exposed information by scrolling the scroll bar.

7 is an exemplary view showing another method of displaying information displayed on a display unit according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 7, the control unit 401 displays a scrolling bar on the side of the exposed message by removing the window 5-2. Accordingly, the user can confirm the exposed message by scrolling the scroll bar.

On the other hand, when a part of the window 5-2 displayed on the received message 5-1 (a part where the window is folded) is dragged in the direction of the exposed message, the control unit 401 displays the window Or removes the received message (5-1) and the window (5-2).

8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method for deleting information displayed on a display unit according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

8, the control unit 401 determines whether a part of the window 5-2 displayed on the received message 5-1 (part of the window folded) All of the exposed message is removed to the window 5-2, or both the received message 5-1 and the window 5-2 are removed.

The control unit 401 may remove the information 5-1 and the window 5-2 when the information is dragged out of the information 5-1 or the window 5-2. The control unit 401 displays only the window 5-2 on the display unit instead of the information 5-1 when dragged out of the information 5-1 or the window 5-2, The information (5-2) may be stored in the storage unit (403).

Therefore, the information display device and the method thereof according to the first embodiment of the present invention can display a window for blocking the received information on information received when the touch screen is locked, thereby allowing the user to touch an icon for releasing the lock It is possible to quickly and effectively display the received information to the user by omitting the process of inputting the password.
