In this case, the additional attribute information storage support unit 231 may store the additional attribute information 153 in a bound state. The additional attribute information storage support unit 231 supports to store the additional attribute information 153 together with the identification information of the corresponding eBook content 155 when the additional attribute information 153 is stored in the storage unit 150.

The additional attribute support unit 210 is a component that manages storage and recall of additional attribute information 153 related to the e-book content 155. Accordingly, when the additional attribute support unit 210 generates an input signal for requesting to activate the specific eBook content 155, the additional attribute information linked to the eBook content 155 based on the identification information of the eBook content 155 is generated. It may be determined whether or not the 153 is in the storage unit 150. If the additional attribute information 153 exists, the additional attribute support unit 210 may output a pop-up window asking the user whether to apply the additional attribute information 153. In this case, the additional attribute support unit 210 may request the additional attribute information search unit 233 to call the additional attribute information 153 without a separate query process when the additional attribute information 153 exists and is set to apply by default. The additional attribute support unit 210 may transfer the additional attribute information 153 searched and transmitted by the additional attribute information search unit 233 to the additional attribute setting unit 220.

Then, the additional property setting unit 220 checks an operation condition bound to the object when an event for selecting an object included in the additional property information 153 occurs or a page search including the object is performed. If it matches, it can support the view change of the eBook content 155 to which the attribute is applied. In this case, the condition for applying the additional attribute information 153, that is, the condition in which the object is selected or the page including the object is viewed may be adjusted according to a user setting.

The additional attribute information retrieval unit 233 confirms a storage location of the stored additional attribute information 153 mapped to identification information of the e-book content 155 according to the request of the additional attribute support unit 210, and then stores the additional attribute information ( 153). In addition, the additional attribute information search unit 233 may transfer the additional attribute information 153 to the additional attribute support unit 210.

As described above, the control unit 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention processes the event processing associated with the activation of the e-book content 155 in the additional attribute support unit 210, the additional attribute information 153 of the e-book content 155 The application or generation may be processed by the additional property setting unit 220, and the additional property manager 230 may support management of storage and recall of the additional property information 153. Accordingly, the controller 200 of the present invention can support the generation, storage, and application of the additional attribute information 153 more efficiently.

The additional attribute information 153 may be transmitted to another terminal or a specific web server according to a user's request. In this case, the additional attribute support unit 210 may cooperate with the additional attribute manager 230 to transmit specific additional attribute information 153 to another terminal or a web server according to a user request. In addition, the additional attribute information 153 may be received from another terminal or a web server under user control. In this case, the additional attribute support unit 210 may request to store the received additional attribute information 153 in the additional attribute information storage support unit 231. Then, the additional attribute information storage support unit 231 may control the additional attribute information 153 to be stored together with the eBook content 155 identification information and stored in the storage unit 150.

In addition, when the additional property information 153 stored in the storage unit 150 is operated, when the screen change property value is changed or a change in the operation condition is requested according to the user control, the additional property setting unit 220 may perform the corresponding condition. It also supports changing the property value of the screen change property. The additional attribute information 153 having changed information may be delivered as an update request to the additional attribute information storage support unit 231 according to the control of the additional attribute support unit 210, and the additional attribute information storage support unit 231 may be changed according to the request. The additional attribute information 153 previously stored in the storage 150 may be updated. On the other hand, the above-described additional attribute information may be information referring to the original of the e-book content 155, not information that changes the original of the e-book content 155. Accordingly, the object information selected while the additional attribute information 153 is bound may include location information, for example, page and line information, in the eBook content 155. Accordingly, in the process of outputting a specific page or a specific object of the eBook content 155, the additional property setting unit 220 refers to the corresponding information without changing the original content of the eBook content 155 and displays the object on the screen. You can support output based on the screen change attribute value defined in).

6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen interface for explaining application of additional attribute information in an e-book content view change function according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The user may generate an input signal for activating the e-book content 155 stored in the storage 150 during the operation of the terminal 100. To this end, the terminal 100 provides a list of e-book contents 155 stored in the storage 150, and when an input signal for selecting a particular e-book content 155 is generated from the list, the selected e-book content 155 is selected based on this. Perform the process to activate. Accordingly, the display unit 140 of the terminal 100 may output the screen according to the playback of the eBook content 155, as shown on the screen 601 of FIG.

On the screen 601, an eBook content 155 screen including text and an image is displayed. The controller 200 of the terminal 100 may determine whether there is additional attribute information 153 related to the e-book content 155. In particular, the controller 200 extracts identification information of the eBook content 155 while a request for playing the eBook content 155 is generated, and the additional attribute information 153 corresponding to the identification information is stored in the storage unit 150. You can check whether it is stored in the

If the additional attribute information 153 corresponding to the identification information exists in the storage unit 150, the controller 200 calls the corresponding additional attribute information 153 and applies it to the e-book content 155 playback screen. Can be controlled. For example, if a conversion property is defined for the output first image object 41 and a touch event is defined as an operation condition, the controller 200 may determine a page including the first image object 41 or the first. When a touch event occurs in the image object 41, the first image object 41 may be converted as shown in the screen 603 to output the converted first image object 41. In this case, when the corresponding screen change property value is scale conversion and rotation conversion, the controller 200 may control to convert the size of the image while rotating at a predetermined angle in response thereto. That is, the controller 200 checks the additional attribute information 153 and checks the selection or appearance of the first image object 41 on the eBook content 155 playback screen, and the operation condition is input unit 120. , The sensor unit 170, the display unit 140, and the like can be checked. When an operation condition occurs, the controller 200 may output the converted first image object 41 by supporting a view change function of the first image object 41 according to a screen change attribute value definition. Here, the screen change attribute value may be information that defines a view change of a specific object in advance.

Meanwhile, when the application of the additional property information 153 described above is set to be performed by default, the control unit 200 displays a screen change property value when an operation condition occurs without a separate query process asking whether to apply the additional property information 153. Application can be performed. On the other hand, when the application of the additional attribute information 153 is not set to the default mode, the controller 200 may apply the additional attribute information 153 when an input signal corresponding to the request for applying the additional attribute information 153 occurs. Can be controlled. Alternatively, if the additional attribute information 153 exists, the controller 200 may output a pop-up window asking whether to apply the additional attribute information 153 and determine whether to apply the additional attribute information 153.

In addition, when the application of the additional attribute information 153 is set as a default mode, the controller 200 does not have the additional attribute information 153 to be applied to the eBook content 155 requested to be played. Only the screen output according to the reproduction of the content 155 may be supported. In this case, the controller 200 may recommend access to another terminal or a specific web server that provides additional attribute information 153 related to the e-book content 155 requested to be played back according to preset schedule information or a user request. After the other terminal or the web server is connected, the controller 200 may control to download the additional attribute information 153 and apply the same to the playback of the eBook content 155.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen interface for explaining additional attribute information setting in an e-book content view change function according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The user may select the specific eBook content 155 stored in the storage 150 to set additional attribute information on the specific eBook content 155. To this end, the control unit 200 of the terminal 100 may provide additional attribute information setting as a menu item, and when the corresponding menu item is selected, may provide a list of e-book contents 155 for setting additional attribute information. Alternatively, the controller 200 may provide additional attribute information setting while using the eBook content 155. To this end, the controller 200 may provide an item for operating the additional attribute information setting function to one side of the screen or include it in a menu list while playing the eBook content 155.

Meanwhile, when the user requests to play the eBook content 155 or selects the eBook content 155 to set additional attribute information, the display unit 140 may output a screen including text and image objects as shown on the screen 701. Can be. The controller 200 may detect objects included in the entire page of the e-book content 155 or the page currently being output to the display unit 140 according to a request for setting additional attribute information. The controller 200 may support activation of the touch area so that the user may select the detected objects to define additional attributes. Then, the user may generate a touch event for selecting an object for which the additional property is newly defined among the objects activated to be touchable.

For example, it is assumed that the user selects the second image object 51. Then, the controller 200 may output a pop-up window 60 for designating at least one of the screen change property value selection and the operation condition selection of the selected second image object 51 as in the screen 703. The pop-up window 60 may output at least one of a list including various items for selecting a screen change attribute value and a list including various items for selecting an operation condition. The list item for selecting an operating condition may not be provided separately, but may provide only an operating condition setting mode. Then, the user may set an operating condition by operating at least one of the input unit 120, the sensor unit 170, and the touch panel 143 while the operating condition setting mode is activated. When a separate operation condition is not set, the control unit 200 may automatically set, for example, a tap event or a flick event on the corresponding object or the corresponding page as a specific operating condition, and view a page including the corresponding object. If only the operation is performed and there is no other operation condition, it can be set as one operation condition.

Meanwhile, the list including various items for selecting the screen change attribute value may be a list including the attribute group items. That is, the screen change property values are provided as a list from which one of group values such as Transform, Bounce, Fly, and Fall can be selected. When a specific group item is selected, the selected group is selected. The screen change property values supported by the item can be controlled by the touch event. For example, when the conversion item is selected in the group list while the second image object 51 is selected, the user may define the property of the conversion through various touch event occurrences. For example, the user may define the conversion property of the second image object 51 as rotation by performing a touch drag to rotate the image in a predetermined direction while touching a corner of one side of the second image object 51. . In addition, the user resizes the conversion property of the second image object 51 by performing a touch drag to increase or decrease the corresponding image by a predetermined size while multi-touching both edges of the second image object 51. Can be defined as

In the drawing, the user defines the fall property for the second image object 51, and in particular, the screen change property value is defined in the shape of falling feathers. The user may select the fall attribute from the screen change attribute value group list and define the screen change attribute value by generating a zigzag touch event corresponding to the shape in which the second image object 51 falls. Herein, the operation condition is an operation condition for viewing a page including the second image object 51, that is, a condition that a predetermined time elapses after the page is output or output on the display unit 140, or a condition for touching the page. Can be. The control unit 200 performs an operation according to the screen change property value of the second image object 51 as shown in screen 705 according to the user's selection of the screen change property value, to see how the screen change property value set by the user looks. Can be represented.

When the screen change attribute value of the second image object 51 is defined and the operation condition is selected, the controller 200 binds the second image object 51, the screen change attribute value, and the operation condition to add one additional attribute information. 153 may be controlled to generate. In addition, when a user defines a specific screen change attribute value for the same object or another object and defines an operation condition, the controller 200 may additionally write the corresponding information in the additional attribute information 153. Accordingly, the additional attribute information 153 may include attribute definitions for at least one object.

In the above description, an object is first selected and an additional property of the selected object is set as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, the controller 200 may first call the popup window 60 for defining the screen change property value of a specific object, select the screen change property value, and select an object to which the screen change property value is applied. There is also. In this case, the control unit 200 may set an input signal input at at least one point before or after the screen change property value selection and before or after the object selection as the operation condition in relation to the setting time of the operation condition. It can also be set to one operating condition.

In the above, each configuration and role of the terminal for setting and operating additional attribute information of e-book content according to an embodiment of the present invention have been described. Hereinafter, operation of e-book content additional attribute information of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

8 is a view for explaining a method of setting additional attribute information in a method for operating additional attribute information of e-book content according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, in the method of setting additional attribute information of the present invention, first, when power is supplied in step 801, the controller 200 distributes power to each component of the terminal 100 by using the supplied power. Preparation for performing a user function of 100 may be performed. In particular, the controller 200 may supply power to the display unit 140 and the storage unit 150 to generate additional attribute information.

Next, the controller 200 checks whether a call for playing the eBook content 155 occurs in step 803. If the input signal generated in this step is not a call for playing the eBook content 155, the controller 200 may branch to step 805 to perform a user function corresponding to the input signal. For example, the controller 200 may access the web server or another terminal to download additional attribute information 153 according to the corresponding input signal, or may perform a specific user function such as a broadcast viewing function, a call function, or a music file playing function. Can be.

On the other hand, if an input signal for reproducing the eBook content 155 is generated in step 803, the controller 200 branches to step 807 to check whether a mode for generating additional attribute information is set or an item for generating additional attribute information. You can check whether there is a choice. If there is no request for generating additional attribute information in this step, the controller 200 may branch to step 809 and control to output a screen according to playback of the eBook content 155.

On the other hand, if a request for generating additional attribute information occurs in step 807, the controller 200 may proceed to step 811 to perform object identification of the eBook content 155. In operation 813, the controller 200 may control the touch area setting of the location where the object is output so that the user may select the corresponding object to set the screen change attribute value and the operation condition.

After that, the controller 200 determines whether a specific object is selected in step 815, and when an input signal for selecting an object is generated, the controller 200 includes items for defining a screen change attribute value of the corresponding object in step 817. You can support outputting a list. If there is no object selection in step 815, the controller 200 controls to automatically release the additional attribute information generation mode after a predetermined time elapses, and branches to step 809.

On the other hand, if a specific screen change property value is selected in step 817, the controller 200 may enter a mode for setting an operating condition and acquire a specific operating condition in step 819. In order to collect operating conditions, the controller 200 activates at least one of the input unit 120, the sensor unit 170, and the touch panel 143 and inputs an input signal such as a key input signal, a sensor signal, a touch signal, or the like. Can be collected under operating conditions. In this process, a mode for collecting operating conditions may be provided. That is, an input signal input while the operating condition collection mode is activated may be collected as an operating condition, and other input signals may be processed as signals for operating the terminal 100.

Thereafter, the controller 200 may generate additional attribute information 153 by binding the selected object, the selected screen change attribute value, and the set operation condition in operation 821, and store the additional attribute information 153. The controller 200 checks whether the additional attribute information 153 is set in step 823, and if there is no input signal for completion, branches to step 815 and may support to repeatedly perform the following process. Through this process, the controller 200 may generate additional attribute information 153 that defines attributes and operation conditions for the plurality of objects.

Meanwhile, in the above description, the list output process for defining the screen change attribute value has been described as being performed after the object is selected, but the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, the list output process for defining the screen change attribute value may be performed before step 811, which is an object identification process of e-book content.

9 is a diagram for describing a method of applying additional attribute information in a method for operating additional attribute information of e-book content according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 9, in the method of applying additional attribute information, when an input signal is generated in step 901, the controller 200 checks whether the corresponding input signal is an input signal for calling the e-book content 155. If the generated input signal is not an input signal for calling the eBook content 155, the controller 200 may support to perform a user function according to the corresponding input signal in step 903.

On the other hand, if an input signal for calling the eBook content 155 is generated in step 901, the controller 200 branches to step 905 to determine whether the additional attribute information 153 is applied to the eBook content 155 in the storage 150. You can check whether or not. In this case, the controller 200 may collect identification information of the e-book content 155 and check whether the additional attribute information 153 corresponding to the identification information exists in the storage 150. The storage unit 150 may store the e-book content 155 identification information together with the additional attribute information 153 when the additional attribute information 153 is stored.

If no additional attribute information 153 is stored in step 905, the control unit 200 branches to step 907 to download whether the additional attribute information 153 corresponding to the eBook content 155 is downloaded from a web server or another terminal. You can check it. In this step, if the user permits the download, the control unit 200 branches to step 909 to perform a web server or other terminal access, and to perform a process for downloading the corresponding additional attribute information 153. Thereafter, the controller 200 may branch to step 907. If the user does not accept the download permission in step 907, the controller 200 may branch to step 911 that supports only playback of the eBook content 155. If additional attribute information 153 exists in step 907, the controller 200 branches to step 915 to apply the additional attribute information 153 to control playback of the eBook content 155.

After step 915 or step 911, the control unit 200 checks whether an end event of playing the current eBook content 155 is generated or an input signal for requesting to play a new eBook content 155 is generated in step 917. When the reproduction end event occurs in this step, the control unit 200 branches to step 919 to check whether it is terminated. If there is no input signal for termination, the control unit 200 branches to step 901 and may support to perform the following process again. Meanwhile, when a request for playing the new eBook content 155 is generated in step 917, the controller 200 may branch directly to step 905 to support the process to be performed again.

On the other hand, if there is no input signal corresponding to the playback end event or the request for playing the new eBook content 155 in step 917, the controller 200 may branch to the previous step, that is, step 911 or step 915, to continue performing the corresponding process. .

Meanwhile, in the above description, only the case of generating and applying the additional attribute information 153 has been described, but the controller 200 of the present invention changes the attribute of the pre-stored or newly downloaded additional attribute information 153 or changes the operation condition. You can also support changes. In more detail, when an input signal for modifying the additional attribute information 153 of the e-book content 155 is generated, the controller 200 plays the e-book content 155, performs object identification, and then selects a specific object. Additional attribute definitions of the user may be collected. Thereafter, the controller 200 may control to update newly defined additional attribute information to additional attribute information applied to the corresponding eBook content 155 according to a user request. In this case, when there is no user request for updating the additional attribute information, the controller 200 may support to store the new additional attribute information on the e-book content 155 in the storage unit 150.

Accordingly, the present invention can provide at least one additional attribute information for one eBook content 155. When a plurality of additional attribute information is provided, the user may control to select and apply additional attribute information desired by the user during the operation of the e-book content 155. Alternatively, the terminal 100 may control to apply additional attribute information, which is set to be applied by default among the plurality of additional attribute information, when the eBook content is played. In the case of the default setting, the user may be supported to select other additional attribute information through a menu.
