The controller 180 of the present invention provides a scroll function when searching for data structured in a predetermined format.

Here, scrolling means that when the screen is filled with data to be displayed, a new line appears at the top or bottom of the screen, and all data moves up or down one line at a time. For example, if you scroll down, the new line appears at the bottom of the screen, all the data moves up one line, and the top line disappears and disappears.

Scrolling in the vertical direction means capable of scrolling up or down, and scrolling in the horizontal direction means moving data in the lateral direction, such as left or right.

The scrolling method of the scrolling function provided by the control unit 180 of the present invention is roughly divided into two methods. A scrolling method provided by the control unit 180 will be described with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG.

2 is a general scrolling method. For example, when the user input unit 130 is a touch pad, a user uses the scroll bar 210 as a finger as shown in FIG. 2 (a) The list 151 is sequentially moved one by one as shown in FIG. 2 (b) when the user moves the scroll bar 210 slowly or lightly around the scroll bar 210 or the scroll bar 210 in a flicking manner.

Here, flicking refers to an operation of dragging in the up / down / left / right directions and releasing the touch input including the start coordinates and the end coordinates.

Another method of scrolling provided by the controller 180 is an auto scrolling or a turbo scrolling method shown in FIG. 3 (hereinafter, referred to as 'autoscrolling').

The auto scrolling means that the scrolling input inputted from the user input unit 130 is scrolled while having a constant speed when the set condition is satisfied.

Here, the set condition is a threshold for distinguishing the speed of scrolling between high speed and low speed, and the speed set as the threshold value may be changed according to an application.

On the other hand, for autoscrolling, the scroll input recognized by the control unit (see FIG. 1) 180 may vary. For example, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), when the user touches the scroll bar 210 through the user input unit 130 (see FIG. 1) with a certain speed and touches the flicking manner, 3 (b), the controller 180 starts the auto scrolling. When a predetermined time has elapsed, the control unit 180 displays the result of the auto-scrolling as shown in FIG. 3 (c) And stops scrolling as shown in Fig.

Also, when the user touches the scroll bar 210 through the user input unit 130 for a predetermined time or touches the scroll bar 210 twice rapidly, it can be recognized as an input for the auto-scrolling.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the user's scroll input to the list is an input to be autoscrolled, the controller 180 scrolls the list quickly.

As shown in FIG. 3 (a), the items '1 to 4' displayed at the top of the display unit 151 are scrolled after the auto scrolling, as shown in FIG. 3 (b) And the '5' number post is displayed at the top of the display unit 151, as shown in FIG. 3 (c).

On the other hand, the unit (range) of the items (or data) to be scrolled by inputting the auto scrolling can be variously set by changing the settings in the control unit 180. For example, the faster the scrolling speed, the larger the unit of scrolled items, and the longer the list, the greater the unit of scrolling items.

The control unit 180 includes a detecting unit 182 for detecting the speed of scrolling, a preference extracting unit 183 for extracting preference information, And a ranking calculation unit 184 that calculates a ranking based on the ranking.

Hereinafter, a component for auto-scrolling the list when the controller 180 detects an auto-scrolling input will be described.

When the control unit 180 detects that a scroll input for the list is detected through the user input unit 130, the detection unit 182 included in the control unit 180 detects the speed of scrolling the list.

If the speed detected by the detecting unit 182 is greater than or equal to a preset value for automatically scrolling the list, the preference extracting unit 183 extracts preference information of the items included in the list.

If the preference information for the items is extracted by the preference extracting unit 183, the ranking calculating unit 184 calculates a preference ranking of the items based on the preference information. The control unit 183 transmits to the display unit 151 an output signal for displaying at least one of the items separated from the list using the ranking of the preferences calculated by the ranking calculator 184.

As described above, the display unit 151 receiving the output signal of the control unit 180 displays several items having high preference so as to be distinguished from the list being scrolled, thereby displaying meaningful information among the information included in the list that is quickly scrolled to the user .

Hereinafter, a method of scrolling the portable electronic device 100 related to the present invention will be described with reference to the control unit 180, the detection unit 182, the preference degree extraction unit 183, and the ranking calculation unit 184 shown in FIG. Explain.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of scrolling a portable electronic device according to an embodiment disclosed herein.

First, when the control unit 180 detects a scroll input of the list input through the user input unit 180, the detection unit 182 detects the speed of scrolling the list corresponding to the scroll input detected by the control unit 180 (S100).

The speed of scrolling the list detected by the detecting unit 182 is transmitted to the preference extracting unit 183 by the control unit 180. Then, the preference extracting unit 183 determines whether the speed is equal to or greater than a value set for the automatic scrolling of the list (S110).

As a result of the determination, if the speed is equal to or greater than the preset value, the preference extracting unit 183 extracts preference information of the items included in the list (S120).

Here, the preference information is information contained in items included in the list, and for the sake of understanding, FIG. 5 will be described.

The preference information may be a comment left by users in an application providing a social network service (SNS), a recommendation number by users, a number of views by users of items, or a keyword arbitrarily set by a user.

For example, in FIG. 5 (a), the preference information may be a comment or a favorite as part of the text 220 information output on the display unit, and in FIG. 5 (b) , And the RT number transmitted to another place may be the preference information.

In addition, the message may be a message sent from a specific party in the messenger, or a keyword arbitrarily set by the user.

As described above, the preference information may be various information besides the application.

On the other hand, if the preference extracting unit 183 extracts the above-described preference information for the items (S120), the ranking calculator 184 calculates the ranking of the items based on the extracted preference information (S130).

Here, the objects for which the ranking is calculated in the ranking calculating unit 184 are the items of the range to be auto-scrolled. On the other hand, the scope of the items to be autoscrolled may be set differently in the control unit 180 according to cases as described above.

The rank calculation unit 184 calculates the ranking of the items in the order of the highest preference based on the preference information extracted by the preference extracting unit 183. Then, the control unit 180 rearranges the items in order of the highest priority based on the ranking, and displays at least one of the rearranged items on the display unit 151 so as to be distinguished from the list (S140) . As described above, the scroll method of the portable electronic device according to the present invention displays items having high preference information among the items to be scrolled, thereby providing meaningful information to a user who may be missed due to the auto-scrolling.

Hereinafter, a method of displaying the rearranged items so as to be distinguished from the list to be auto-scrolled will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG.

FIGS. 6 and 7 are conceptual diagrams for explaining the display method shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 6 together with FIG. 1, items 231 to 236 included in the list 230 are displayed on a user input unit (for example, a touch pad 130 ), The list 230 is automatically scrolled.

As described above, at least one item extracted through the preference extracting unit 183 and the ranking calculating unit 184 is displayed as shown in FIG. 6 (b).

For example, if the first and third items 231 and 233 of the items 231 to 234 to be autoscrolled in the preference extracting unit 183 and the ranking calculating unit 184 are high in rank, Generates and displays an overlapped display window 240 to be distinguished from the scrolled list.

Here, the overlapping display window 240 can display representative information including some information of the items 231 and 233 having a high degree of preference.

Representative information can be text, photographs, images, and the like, and is information that can represent items.

6 (c), when the auto-scrolling stops, the overlapping display window 240 disappears and the list is displayed again as shown in FIG. 6 (b).

7, the items 231 to 236 included in the list 230 are displayed on a user input unit (for example, a touch pad 130) ), The list 230 is automatically scrolled.

For example, if the first and third items 231 and 233 of the items 231 to 234 to be autoscrolled in the preference extracting unit 183 and the ranking calculating unit 184 are high in rank, A separate list box 240 is created and displayed so as to be distinguished from the scrolled list.

Here, the list box 240 may display representative information including some information of the items 231 and 233 having a high degree of preference.

Representative information can be text, photographs, images, and the like, and is information that can represent items.

7 (c), when the auto-scrolling stops, the list box 240 disappears and the list box 230 is displayed again, or the list box 240 is continuously displayed as shown in FIG. 7 (b) The list 230 is displayed.

Hereinafter, a method of displaying selected items when items displayed separately from the list 230 are selected in FIGS. 6 and 7 will be described.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the display method (S140) shown in FIG. 4 in detail, and FIG. 9 is a conceptual diagram for explaining an output range changing method (S160) shown in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the ranking of the items is calculated in the order of the highest preference based on the preference information extracted by the preference extracting unit (see FIG. 1) 183 in the ranking calculating unit (see FIG. 1, 184) do. 1) 180 rearranges the items in the order of the highest priority based on the ranking, and displays at least one of the rearranged items on the display unit (see FIG. 1, 151 (S140).

In operation S150, the controller 180 determines whether at least one of the displayed items is selected by the user.

As a result of the determination, if at least one of the items displayed to be distinguished from the list is selected, the controller 180 changes the output range of the list currently displayed on the display unit 151 so that the selected item is displayed on the display unit 151 (S160).
