FIG. 9B is an exemplary view in which the first sub-background region adjacent to the second sub-background region and the second sub-background region are automatically moved when the second sub-background region is moved, and FIG. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a state in which movement of a sub background region is completed. FIG. 10A is a view illustrating an example in which the transparency adjusting film is controlled when touching two points in the fifth sub-background region, and FIG. 10B is an example of moving the fifth sub-background region.

The second to fourth transparency adjusting films 320, 330 and 340 are sequentially provided on the upper side of the supporting frame 10 as shown in FIG. 8 and the first transparency adjusting film 320 310) and the fifth transparency adjusting film 350 is disposed under the fourth transparency adjusting film 340 will be described as an example of how to control the transparency adjusting film.

7 and 8, the terminal 100 displaying the first user interface transmits a channel information transmission request signal from the film controller 200, and the film controller 200 controls the transparency of a plurality of channels It is possible to confirm the channel information to which the film 300 is connected and transmit the number of connected channels and the connected channel information to the terminal 100. [

The terminal 100 may receive channel information from the film control apparatus 200 and display a background image 31 divided into a plurality of regions (sub-background regions) based on the received channel information (S102) ). The sub-background regions to be displayed here may be arranged in a predetermined manner on the background image 31, for example arranged in a line in sequence.

In addition, the channel information may include information on the number of channels and channel unique identification information of each of the first to fifth channels (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, and CH5).

The terminal 100 may display the same number of sub background areas as the number of channels according to the information on the number of channels. The first to fifth sub background regions 301, 302, 303, 304, and 305 may be displayed as illustrated. Each of the first through fifth sub background regions 301, 302, 303, 304 and 305 may be connected to a corresponding one of the first through fifth channels CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, And can be matched with each unique identification information. That is, the first sub background area 301 is matched with the channel unique identification information of the first channel CH1, the second sub background area 302 is matched with the channel unique identification information of the second channel CH2, The third sub background area 303 is matched with the channel unique identification information of the third channel CH5 and the fourth sub background area 304 is matched with the channel unique identification information of the fourth channel CH4, The sub background region 305 may be matched with the channel unique identification information of the fifth channel CH5.

Also, the terminal 100 can sense a touch. Specifically, the terminal 100 may detect whether a touch at two points in the sub background area is sensed (S103).

The terminal 100 may transmit a film control signal including channel unique identification information matched to a sub-background region in which a touch is sensed to the film control apparatus 200 when a touch is sensed at two points in the sub background region, In response to the received film control signal, the apparatus 200 controls the transparency adjustment film 300 connected to the corresponding channel from the channel specific identification information included therein, for example, when the transparency adjustment film 300 is turned on and off Can be repeated.

Referring to FIG. 9A, when a touch is sensed at two points in the second sub-background area 302, the terminal 100 determines the channel unique identification (ID) of the second channel (CH2) matched to the second sub- The film control device 200 transmits a film control signal including information to the film control device 200. The film control device 200 transmits the first transparency adjustment film 310 connected to the second panel CH2 in response to the received film control signal, Can be controlled. 10A, when a touch is sensed at two points in the fifth sub background area 305, the terminal 100 transmits the channel unique identification information of the fifth channel CH5 matched to the fifth sub background area 305, To the film control apparatus 200. The film control apparatus 200 transmits a fifth transparency adjustment film 350 connected to the fifth panel CH5 in response to the received film control signal Can be controlled. Thus, the user can check the transparency adjustment film located on the actual support frame 10 corresponding to the arbitrarily selected sub background region.

If a touch is detected at one point in the sub background area (S111), it is checked whether the individual film area image is displayed in the touched sub background area (S112). If the image of the individual film area is displayed The image of the individual film area being displayed is deleted (S113), and if the image of the individual film area is not displayed, the image of the individual film area can be displayed (S114).

In addition, the terminal 100 can sense whether the touch is moving at two points on the sub background region where the touch is already performed at two points (S105). When the touch is moved, a sub-background area may be displayed in which the corresponding sub-background area moves in accordance with the movement direction of the touch (S106).

As illustrated in FIG. 9B, when the user uses two fingers or the like to form a touch on the two points in the second sub-background region 302, the first transparency adjustment film 310 , The terminal 100 may move the second sub-background area 302 down, and in another example, as shown in FIG. 10B, the user may move the second sub- The position of the fifth transparency adjustment film 350 on the support frame 10 in a state in which the touch for the two points is formed in the fifth sub background area 305 using two fingers or the like, 305 may be moved down, the terminal 100 may move the fifth sub background zone 305 downward.

The terminal 100 periodically transmits a film control signal to the film control apparatus 200 because touches to two points are continuously sensed in the second or fifth sub background region 302 or 305, The transparency adjusting film 300 may be driven.
