3 is a block diagram of a portable smart phone.

In the drawing, the central processing unit 20 is a control means for controlling the overall operation of a portable smart phone (in a general case, a portable display device, a smart phone, or a computer) used in an embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the ROM 21a existing in the memory unit 21 (or 21a, 21b, 21c) controls the execution program of the display device, and the RAM 21b stores data generated during the execution of the program, and EPIROM (21c) stores data required by the user and data necessary to process the data.

There is a display driving circuit 25 that drives a display by receiving a signal output from the central processing unit 20, and again the driving circuit outputs a signal that the display 30 can drive.

In addition, the central processing unit controls the input device 28 through the input device driver 27. That is, when information is input through the input device 28, the input window driver transmits input information to the central processing unit.

Meanwhile, the portable smart phone of the present invention may include a portable display device, a smart phone, and a tablet.

4 is a view briefly showing a conventional input device and an input device driver.

A schematic view showing a cross-sectional view of the input device, (A) is a diagram showing a capacitive method, and (B) is a diagram showing a resistive film method.

That is, in (A), an electrode plate 29a coated with a transparent electrode is provided under the protective plate 28a, and the electrode plate 29a is composed of one or two films coated with a transparent electrode.

In addition, the (B) is provided with two films (29a) (29b) coated with a transparent electrode on the upper side of the protective plate (28a) facing each other with a constant gap maintained, and the input device (28) (28) ) An outer protective plate (or decorative plate) 28b may be further provided at the top. In addition, a desired pattern is coated on the protection plate 28b.

And, Figure 4 shows an example of an input device 28 that is commonly used, and the present invention is not an invention of the input device 28. Therefore, a conventional input device 28 capable of inputting information on a display is applicable to the present invention.

At this time, on the display means that information may be input without applying pressure or contact to the display surface.

In addition, embodiments of the present invention may be applied to a device in which an input device element and a display are integrated.

On the other hand, if it is possible to input information by distinguishing steps through image changes or operation changes, it can be applied to an embodiment of the present invention.

(C) is a diagram of an embodiment showing an input device driver. Figure (C) is only one embodiment, in the present invention can be used for all of the conventional input device driver.

The touch input driving unit 50 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a calibration function performing unit 51, an average value detection count adjustment unit 52, an average value detection unit 43, a panel signal generation unit 54, and the like.

In addition, it can be said that the input device driver of the present invention is only one embodiment, and the normal input device driver is included in the configuration of the present invention.

The calibration function performing unit 51 performs calibration on the coordinate values of the touch input unit 72 when the device is first operated. According to this calibration function, a panel signal corresponding to the coordinate value of the actual position touched by the touch input unit 72 is selected. That is, the signal of the touch input unit 72 corresponding to the coordinate value is selected according to the resolution of the touch display 74, and the selected signal is provided to the control unit 30.

Accordingly, the control unit 30 stores and manages coordinate values corresponding to the panel signal. The average value detection count adjustment unit 52 adjusts the average value detection count for the panel signal output from the touch input unit 72 based on the screen resolution information of the touch display 74 provided from the control unit 30. When the screen resolution is changed to a high resolution, the number of times the average value is detected is adjusted larger than the previously set value. Conversely, if the screen resolution is changed to a lower resolution, the average number of detections is adjusted smaller than the previously set value.

The average value detection unit 53 detects the average value of the panel signal transmitted from the touch input unit 72 based on the average value detection number adjusted by the average value detection number adjustment unit 52. Then, the average value detection unit 53 transmits the detected average value to the panel signal generation unit 54.

The panel signal generation unit 54 generates a panel signal using the changed screen resolution of the touch display 74 provided from the control unit 30 or the position information of the display screen changed by virtual scrolling and the average value of the currently input panel signal. do.

The touch input driver 50 configured as described above detects the location information of the touch point continuously a predetermined number of times when the user touches using two fingers or one finger or using any manipulation means, and then averages the values of the values. It is output as the final location information.

5 is a diagram of an embodiment of performing an operation command of a step through an input device.

As in the embodiment of FIG. 5, a small bar is used on the display 30 or a finger is used to command the operation of the step.

That is, the operation command of the step is input by selecting the information displayed on the display through the input device 28. As shown in FIG. 5, using two fingers (or bars), the operation command of the step is executed by reducing or extending the distance between the points (points) selected by the two fingers.

6 is a view of another embodiment of performing an operation command of a step through an input device.

As shown in FIG. 6, a finger (or bar) is used to select the top of the display 30 on the smartphone 110, and then adjust the length of the selected and maintained time to execute the operation command of the step.

For example, an area in which a step-by-step manipulation command is possible in the display 30 is called a selection area 32, and the selection area 32 occupies a portion of the entire area of the display 30. Then, the selection area 32 is selected by using a finger (or bar), and the length of time selected and held is adjusted, thereby executing the operation command of the step.

At this time, the selection means that a finger (or bar) is used to contact the display 30. In addition, since the input device 28 is actually present on the display 30, contacting the display 30 is contacting the input device 28. Of course, depending on the type of input device, a contact method may not necessarily be used.

On the other hand, in the present invention, as long as the step can be determined, various methods can be used in addition to the moving distance and the length of the holding time.

That is, by tapping the selection area on the display 30 or by tapping, the steps may be divided into numbers, and the image may be determined and divided into steps in the shape of a finger image.

-Example of moving a step by time-

1) The step is determined by the time value maintained.

For example, if 0.5 second is maintained, it moves 1 step, if 1 second is maintained, it moves 2 steps, and if 1.5 seconds is maintained, it moves 2 steps.

2) The time value maintained becomes the boundary of the step movement.

For example, if it is maintained for 0.5 seconds or less, it is moved one step, and if it is maintained for 0.5 second or more, it is moved by 2 steps. If it is maintained for less than 1 second, it is moved 2 steps, and if it is maintained for 1 second or more, it is moved by 3 steps

That is, if it is maintained below the predetermined time T value, it is moved in J step, and if it is moved over the predetermined time T value, it is moved in J + 1 step. Or, if it is maintained below the predetermined time T1 value, it is moved in J step, and if it is moved above the predetermined time T1 value and below the predetermined time T2 value, it is moved in J + 1 step. (Here J is 1 or more and K-1 or less, and K is the value of the highest step.)

Fig. 7 is a view of an embodiment for explaining the operation instruction of the distance step.

An operation command that allows two fingers (or two bars) to determine two points, divides the distance traveled by the point into steps, and recognizes the command according to each step is an "operation command of the step". Then, when the operation command of the step is executed, information corresponding to each step is displayed on the screen of the smartphone display 30. The step is a limited number N of at least two steps. If there are too many, it is not good, so within 10 or 5 steps is appropriate.

In addition, the steps are summarized as follows.

1) Steps such as steps 1, 2, 3, and N are determined, and a distance recognized as a step or a time to be maintained is predetermined.

2) The maximum number of steps that can be recognized is predetermined. The maximum distance (or time) that can be recognized is also predetermined.

3) The operation instruction of the step has a + direction, and in some cases, a-direction.

4) When executing the operation instruction in step, an error range exists.

5) Information corresponding to each step exists at each step.

In FIG. 7, guide lines 50 and 51, which are the movement paths between the two points, are displayed, and each step 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d, and 50e in the guide line as shown in FIG. ). (In Fig. (B), the steps are "(51a), (51b), (51c), (51d), and (51e)", respectively)

At this time, in the case of Fig. (A) where the distance between the two selected points is closer,

Step 1 "50a", Step 2 "50b", Step 3 "50c", Step 4 "50d", Step 5 "50e",

Even in the case where the distance between the two selected points increases (B),

Step 1 "51a", step 2 "51b", step 3 "51c", step 4 "51d", step 5 "51e" are.

In addition, if the distance at the time of one step is determined to be 10 mm in advance, when 20 mm is moved by the operation command of the step, the second step moves, and since the entire step exists up to 5 steps, the maximum moving distance is 50 mm.

Of course, the distance is not necessarily the same for each step. For example, the distance from step 1 to step 2 may be 10 mm, and the distance from step 2 to step 3 may be 12 mm. Only the step-by-step distance is predetermined.

In addition, the step distance may also vary variably when the program is executed by setting an algorithm. For example, the moving distance of step 1 to step 2 is 10 mm, but the moving distance of the step is 12 manually or automatically before the operation command of step. It can be changed to mm.

Then, when the two points (points) selected through the input device are close, they move-(minus) and move away (+). (You can also choose to move + if you get closer, or-move away.)

Therefore, in the example of Fig. 7A, when the first step movement is 10 mm and the 20 mm movement, the second stage movement is performed in the-direction. In addition, in the example of FIG. 7B, when the first stage movement is 10 mm and the movement is 20 mm, the movement is two stages in the + direction.

On the other hand, as in the above item 4), it is natural that an error range may exist in the operation instruction of the step of the present invention. It can be judged as the first step when moving 13mm, and the second step when moving 18mm. As in the concept of rounding and rounding in mathematics, it is also possible to determine the error range according to the operation command of the step.

In addition, in the present invention, when an operation command of a step is to be executed, it is possible to display the guide lines 50 and 51 on which a step-by-step scale is displayed on the display 30 screen, as shown in the implementation of FIG. 6.

In the present invention, the “guide lines 50 and 52” is one method of displaying each step, the distance and the direction of the step on the display screen, and conveniently executing the operation instruction of the step. Of course, the guide lines 50 and 52 are not necessarily displayed,

Since such guide lines are displayed, it is possible to visually provide information on the moving distance of each step. That is, it is possible to perform an operation command of a desired step by moving by the scale indicated by the guide lines 51 and 52.

In FIG. 7, step-by-step correspondence information includes "(50a-1), (50b-1), (50c-1), (50d-1), and (50e-1)" and "(51a-1), (51b- 1), (51c-1), (51d-1), and (51e-1) ".

That is, the information corresponding to step 1 "50a" in FIG. (A) is "50a-1", and the information corresponding to step 1 "51a" in FIG. (B) is "51a-1".

In addition, the embodiments from items 1) to 5) can be applied to the example of dividing the step by the length of time maintained.

8 is a view of another embodiment of an operation command through an input device.

8 (A) is a diagram of an embodiment in which a finger or a bar selected by a finger or a bar moves through an input device, and (B) is a diagram of an embodiment in which an angle is moved while rotating. And, the command of the + (plus) step may be determined when the point moves upward or rotates counterclockwise, and the-(minus) direction is determined as opposed to the direction determined by +.

On the other hand, as another embodiment of the present invention, each step may be determined by determining the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. That is, the upward movement can be determined in one step, the second in the right direction, and the downward in three steps. And, it is possible to further subdivide these directions. That is, starting from the clockwise direction, the angle can be divided into 40 degrees, and can be performed in 9 steps. For example, moving from the clockwise direction to the 80-degree direction results in two stages.

The movement of the step according to the stepwise manipulation command may be centered on the selection area 32 or may be centered on a single point, or may be performed on the entire screen without specifically selecting a selection area.

9 and 10 are views showing an embodiment in which a summary corresponding to each step is displayed in a stepwise operation command.

9 is an example in which the stepwise operation command is a straight line distance, the straight line distance is divided into steps, and summary contents corresponding to each step are displayed.

It is a diagram showing that the moved distance (+ move if moving in the upward direction or-move if moving in the downward direction) is divided into steps, and the characteristics of the information (contents of information) for each step can be displayed on the screen. For example, step 1 is "52a" and step 2 is "52b". And, the first stage summary information is "52a-1" and the second stage summary information is "52b-1". Therefore, on the display 30 screen, the number indicating the stage and the contents of the summary information of each stage can be displayed. .

That is, in the embodiment of FIG. 9, a number indicating a step is displayed on the guide line 50, and summary information for each step is displayed. For example, the summary information corresponding to step 1 (52a) is “mobile phone simple specification”, and the information corresponding to step 2 (52b) is “mobile phone specification”, so if step 2 is selected, the mobile phone details are displayed on the display screen. Information about the specifications is displayed.

The data for the design of the guide line and the summary information displayed on the guide line according to the embodiment of FIG. 9 may be stored in the memory unit 21 of the smartphone 110 and stored in the database 104 of the server 110 Can be.

In addition, when the operation command of the step is selected (user's selection), the central processing unit 20 of the smartphone displays guideline information and summary information stored in the memory unit 21 based on the selection signal of the operation command of the step. It is displayed on the display 30.

Meanwhile, when the operation command selection command of the step is transmitted to the server under the control of the central processing unit 20, the control unit 101 of the server searches the database 104 for guideline information and summary information stored in the database. It will be sent to the smartphone. Then, the central processing unit 30 of the smart phone 110 displays the received information on the display 30. In addition, FIG. 10 is a diagram of an embodiment showing that the moved angle can be divided into steps, and characteristics (summary information) of information about each step and each step can be displayed on the screen.

That is, steps 53a, 53b, 54c, 54d, and 54e are displayed on the guide line 50, and summary information 53a-1, 53b-1, 54c-1, and 54d-1 (54e-1) is also displayed.

-How to display the information corresponding to the step on the display-

The execution process according to the embodiment of the stepwise operation command in the present invention is as follows.

1) When a point (point) is selected (can be selected by a finger or a bar) through the input device 28 of the smartphone, the input device driving unit 27 outputs the position value (coordinate) of the selected point. do. Then, when the point is moved, the input device driver 27 outputs a moving value (coordinate) of the point. At this time, the value (coordinate) may be a number or a symbol.

2) The central processing unit 20 determines the position and movement value (coordinates) of the output point, determines the movement step by a predetermined algorithm, and determines the selected final step.

For example, if the current step was 2 steps and moved 2 steps in the + direction, the selected final step becomes 4 steps.

3) When the selected final stage is determined, the central processing unit 20 selects information corresponding to the final stage from the memory unit 21 (or 21a, 21b, 21c), and displays the selected information on the display 30 do. That is, the central processing unit outputs a driving signal to display selected information on the display.

At this time, the final step is transmitted to the server 100, and the control unit 101 of the server may retrieve information corresponding to the final step from the database 104 and transmit it to the smartphone. Then, the smartphone displays information corresponding to the final stage received from the server on the display screen.

That is, if the final stage is three stages, the central processing unit 20 of the smartphone 110 displays the information stored in three stages stored in the memory unit 21 of the smartphone or the database 104 of the server 30 Mark on.

In addition, the smartphone itself can be divided into steps to move or move,

Meanwhile, the motion on the top of the display may be recognized as an image element, and a signal output from the image element may be determined as an algorithm to divide the degree of motion into steps. At this time, it can be determined by dividing the steps into the shape of a finger, the shape of an eye, or another image.

That is, using any input method on the smartphone, if a step can be divided and selected as an operation command of the step, and the step can be selected, information corresponding to the final step after the operation command of the step can be displayed on the screen. It is.

-Information stored in the database of the server and the memory of the smartphone-

1) Server database information is displayed on the display.

The smartphone 110 may be connected to a server through a wired or wireless Internet or through a communication network to perform the operation command of the step. That is, when the operation command of the step is input through the input device 28 of the smart phone 110, the inputted information is transmitted to the server through the communication network, and the server selects information corresponding to the operation command of the step from the database The selected information is transmitted to the smartphone, and the smartphone displays the received new information on the display 30 screen.

2) Smartphone memory information appears on the display

Using the central processing unit 20 and the memory unit 21 in the smartphone, it is possible to display information corresponding to the operation command of the step on the display screen,

On the other hand, at that time, then the server can receive the information of the step from the smartphone.

First, when the program capable of the stepwise operation command is executed, or when the step capable of the stepwise operation command is displayed on the display, the central processing unit of the smartphone transmits the program execution capable of the stepwise operation command to the server.

When a program capable of a stepwise operation command is executed, generally, the information of the first stage is displayed on the display, but the information of the first stage is not necessarily displayed on the display depending on the termination situation of the previous program.

Second, the control unit of the server retrieves the information corresponding to the step from the database and transmits it to the smartphone.

At this time, it is also possible to transmit all stages of information from the server to the smartphone, but in whole, only some stages of information can be transmitted from the server to the smartphone.

For example, if steps 1 through 7 exist, the server may transmit all the information from steps 1 to 7 to the smartphone, but the server may transmit only some of the steps 1 to 7 to the smartphone. .

When only some steps are transmitted, information about the steps around the steps currently displayed on the display is transmitted from the server to the smartphone.

Third, the central processing unit 20 of the smart phone stores the received information in the memory unit 21.

Fourth, the final stage is determined as a result of the stepwise operation command, but information corresponding to the final stage is selected from information received from the server and stored in the memory unit, and the selected information is displayed on the display.

3) Mixed use

When information of the corresponding step is displayed on the display when the stepwise operation command is started, or when the final step is determined as a result of the stepwise operation command and the corresponding information is displayed on the display, the information displayed on the display is the memory unit 21 It may be information stored in, or may be information stored in the database 104 of the server.

 That is, information stored in the memory unit 21 may be displayed on the display 30 for information in step 1, and information stored in the database 104 may be displayed on the display 30 for information in step 2.

15 to 17 are views showing an embodiment of information displayed on the display at each step.

15 is a diagram of an embodiment in which the names of other functions are displayed as table of contents and information of arbitrary steps. Then, when one is selected from the table of contents in FIG. 15, another selected function is executed.

At this time, another function means another function provided in the text service. In between these days, the text service also provides a telephone function (voice stock), news information, shopping information, and a setting function to change the text service environment. Naturally, a list of friends is also provided. That is, other functions in the embodiment of FIG. 15 mean various functions provided in the text service.

15A shows information 70 in which the names of other functions are displayed in the form of a table of contents. That is, the other function information 70 is provided in the form of a table of contents 71. For example, if a voice stock is selected from the table of contents in FIG. (A), the voice stock (telephone) is connected to be possible. In other words, it is possible to take steps whether or not the voice stock function provided by the text service can be executed.

Of course, if a friend list is selected from the table of contents of Fig. 15A, a friend list is displayed, a character list is displayed, a character list is displayed, and characters (not shown in the embodiment of Fig. (A)) are selected. You can take steps to make the transfer possible.

-Display reflecting the priority in the table of contents-

At this time, the priority may be determined. That is, among various functions provided by the text service capable of executing the step-by-step manipulation command of the present invention, a priority may be determined among functions frequently used by a user using the text service.

For example, if text sending is used most often, the priority number 1 is the voice stock, and when the friend list display is used the second most frequently, the priority 2 is the friend list display, and the text list display is the third frequently used The third priority is the character list display.

Then, as shown in FIG. 15 (A), when displayed in the form of a table of contents, the names of the functions corresponding to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd ranks (for example, voice stock, friend list, or text list) It will be displayed in the table of contents. Of course, in some cases, the 4th rank, 5th rank, and more may also be displayed. Then, when one of the table of contents showing the name of the function is selected, the selected function is executed. For example, when voice stock is selected in the table of contents of FIG. 15 (A), it is possible to perform the function of voice stock, and when a friend list is selected, the friend list is displayed on the display 30.

15B is a diagram of an embodiment in which only one other function 74 is displayed. At this time, when the one other function is selected, the selected function is executed. At this time, a high priority may be indicated by one other function 74.

Fig. 16 is a diagram of an embodiment in which the names of other programs are displayed as table of contents and information of arbitrary steps. Then, when one is selected from the table of contents in FIG. 16, another selected program is executed.

At this time, another program means another program or application provided in the smartphone 110. In the meantime, in addition to the programs originally provided in the smartphone 110, various programs are performed in the form of an application or the like in the smartphone 110.

For example, various programs such as games, portal sites, maps, and shopping are provided through an application, in addition to programs such as text, telephone, text list, and the Internet, which are originally provided in a smartphone. Means displayed.

16 is information 90 in which the names of other programs are displayed in the form of a table of contents. For example, if a telephone is selected from the table of contents in FIG. 16, the telephone is connected to enable. At this time, the telephone is not a voice communication function (voice talk) provided in the text service (application program) of the present invention, but a telephone program provided by the smartphone itself through a communication company.

In addition, when a character is selected from the table of contents of FIG. 16, the characters are connected to enable. At this time, the text is not a text service provided in the text service (application program) of the present invention, but a text transfer program provided by the smartphone itself through a communication company.

That is, it is possible to take a procedure whether or not the program provided in the smartphone can be executed.

Of course, when the camera is selected from the table of contents in FIG. 16, the camera program is connected to be executed, and the map application, which is a pre-application of the map, is connected to be executed.

-Display reflecting the priority in the table of contents-

At this time, the priority may be determined. That is, various programs (including applications and programs provided by a smartphone) provided in a smartphone capable of executing the step-by-step operation command of the present invention are included. , It is a program provided separately from the text service of the present invention.) Among programs frequently used by a user who uses the program, priority may be determined.

For example, the most frequently used carrier phone program is the priority number 1, the carrier phone program is the second most frequently used carrier text program, the priority 2 is the carrier text program, and the third most frequent Internet program is the priority. The third place is an Internet program.

Then, as shown in the example of FIG. 16, when displayed in the form of a table of contents, the names of the functions (for example, telephone, text, or the Internet) corresponding to the first, second, and third rankings are displayed in the table of contents. do.

Of course, in some cases, the 4th rank, 5th rank, and more may also be displayed. Then, when one of the table of contents showing the name of the function is selected, the selected function is executed. For example, in the table of contents of FIG. 16, when a telephone is selected, a telephone program can be performed, and when a character is selected, a text program can be performed.

Meanwhile, the usage time may also be included in the priority order. The frequency of use and time of use are also reflected in the priority. For example, the frequency of use is small, but once it is used, the priority is increased when a lot of time is used.

However, how much the weights of the frequency of use and the time of use should be set to each other may vary depending on the algorithm of the program.

-Recommended Table of Contents-

Items existing in the table of contents 70, 80, and 90 may be made by a predetermined algorithm. For example, "user's search word" and "user's input word" may be analyzed to create an item of the table of contents, and also an item of the table of contents may be created with the recommendation of an operator who operates the content of the present invention.

That is, if there are six items in the table of contents, four of them are made by reflecting the priority by time or frequency, and the other two items are made by the above-mentioned algorithm or by the operator's recommendation. Can be.

-Number of items in the table of contents-

The number of items in the table of contents does not necessarily have to be plural. The present invention can be carried out as long as it is one or more.

17 is information of an embodiment showing knowledge information,

In the present invention, the knowledge information 90 is information related to information related to news, weather, stories, shopping, sports, and the like.

In addition, the embodiment of FIG. 17 also conforms to the embodiments of FIGS. 15 and 16, that is, the knowledge information 90 is displayed as a table of contents 91, and when one of the tables of contents 91 is selected, the selected Information corresponding to the table of contents 91 is displayed on the display 30.

In addition, in the knowledge information 90, the method of displaying the priority of the table of contents also conforms to the embodiments of FIGS. 15 and 16.

-Table of contents selection and execution-

The process of selecting and executing the table of contents in FIGS. 15 to 17 is as follows.

1) The selection area is selected through the input device 28, and a stepwise operation command is executed.

2) The central processing unit 20 determines the determined moving step according to the execution result of the stepwise operation command, and determines the final step.

At this time, the final step is a step reflected by adding or subtracting the moving step from the initial step. (See the previous embodiment of the present invention)

3) The central processing unit 20 selects the information corresponding to the final stage from the memory unit 21 or receives it from the server and displays it on the display 30.

At this time, the central processing unit 20 transmits the final stage value through the R / F unit 24 and the communication network, and the control unit 101 of the server selects information corresponding to the final stage from the database 104 , And transmits it to the smartphone 110.

Of course, the central processing unit of the smart phone 110 may receive information corresponding to each step in advance from a server and store the information in the memory unit 21.

4) If the information corresponding to the final stage is a table of contents, the central processing unit 20 displays information corresponding to the final stage on the display 30 in the form of a table of contents.

5) When one of the table of contents is selected through the input device 28, the central processing unit 20 may display knowledge information on the selected table of contents on the display 30 and execute a program for the selected table of contents. , Or perform other functions for the selected table of contents.

At this time, the central processing unit 20 may proceed with the results for the selected table of contents through information or algorithms stored in the memory unit 21, and also receive information from the server or connect to the server and proceed with the results for the selected table of contents.

-A group item representing a group of one item-

In Figures 15, 16 and 17 there are group items 72, 82, 92. Then, when the group item is selected, another table of contents is generated.

That is, in the embodiments of FIGS. 15, 16 and 17, when an item is selected in the table of contents, another function or program corresponding to the selected item is executed, or knowledge information is displayed. However, when the group items 72, 82, 92 are selected, another table of contents is displayed.

Accordingly, when information corresponding to the step is displayed on the display 30, items and group items may be displayed together.

Meanwhile, embodiments of the group items 72, 82, and 92 are as follows.

1) Like the group items 72 indicated by "#" and the group items 82 and 92 indicated by "●", there are cases where the symbols are displayed instead of words, and the group items 72 and 82 ) When 92 is selected, a separate window (a window displayed in a box form on the display) is generated and information in the form of a table of contents is displayed in the separate window.

For example, when the group item 72 marked with "#" is selected, the table of contents of items such as "Search for Friends", "Notification", "Remittance", "Security", and "Version Information" will be displayed in a separate window. Is that it can.

2) Words may be displayed on the group items 72, 82, 92. For example, if the word "game" is displayed on the group item 82 representing the program, and the item marked "game" is selected, games such as "Starcraft", "Diablo", "Tetris" in a separate window Items are displayed as a table of contents.

That is, when the word of the category concept is displayed as a group item (72) (82) (92), when the group item (72) (82) (92) is selected, the items corresponding to the word separately as a table of contents Window.

 In this case, it can be said that the concept of hierarchical structure of words is used.

3) When the group table of contents 72 indicated by "#" and the group items 82 and 92 marked by "●" are selected, a lower order table of contents may be displayed in a separate window.

For example, in the examples of FIGS. 15, 16, and 17, if items displayed in the table of contents have high priority, the items displayed in the table of contents displayed in the separate window are low-priority items.

On the other hand, in FIGS. 15, 16 and 17, it has been described that the table of contents is divided into different functions, different programs, and knowledge information. However, only items having different functions or only different programs exist as items in the same table of contents. Information doesn't have to exist. For example, different programs, different functions, or knowledge information may exist as individual items in the same table of contents.

18 is a view showing an embodiment in which a group item is selected.

If there are group items 72, 82, 92 within the table of contents 70, 80, 90, and one of the group items 72, 82, 92 is selected, the selected item 72a, 82a ) 92a is displayed separately from the unselected group items 72, 82, 92. That is, it is distinguished by color, line thickness, brightness, etc., or is displayed visually by blinking.

Then, additional information about the selected items 72a, 82a, and 92a is displayed as a table of contents of new items 97a in a separate window 97.

-Display a separate window-

1) There are items and group items in the table of contents.

The table of contents may consist only of items, or the table of contents may consist only of group items. In addition, items and group items may exist together in the table of contents.

2) When any item 71, 81, 91 is selected in the table of contents 70, 80, 90, information about the item selected by the separate window 97 is displayed. The embodiment of FIG. 18 is an embodiment in which group items 72, 82, 92 are selected in the table of contents, but the embodiment of FIG. 18 is an item 71 in tables of contents 70, 80, 90 This also applies when (81) (91) is selected.

Meanwhile, when an item or a group item is selected, corresponding information may be displayed in a separate window 97, but the corresponding information may be displayed on the entire display screen. However, even if it is displayed on the entire screen of the display, a selection menu or a control menu is also displayed (where menu means a commonly used menu displayed at the top of the screen or a part of the screen).

3) The order of displaying the separate windows is as follows.

-One item 71, 81, 91 or group item 72, 82, 92 is selected from the table of contents 70, 80, 90 through the input device 28.

-The input device outputs the selected position value to the central processing unit, and the central processing unit determines which item (71) (81) (91) or which group item (72) (82) (92) is selected.

-The central processing unit 20 displays information corresponding to the selected item or group item on the display.

Information corresponding to the selected item or group item may be stored in the memory unit 21, or may be information received from the server.

If the information is stored in the memory unit, the central processing unit selects information corresponding to the selected item or group item in the memory unit and displays it on the display.

If it is information to be transmitted from the server, the central processing unit 20 transmits a situation (a predetermined code can be used) for the selected item or group item to the server, and the control unit 101 of the server from the database 104 Information corresponding to the selected item or group item is selected, and the selected information is transmitted to the smart phone through a communication network. Then, the central processing unit 20 of the smart phone displays the information received from the server on the display.

On the other hand, in the present invention, the items and the group items are distinguished in the table of contents, and the description is given as an example, but in the actual embodiment, the items and the group items are not used separately.

19 to 21 are diagrams of an embodiment showing the concept of a hierarchical structure.

19 is a view showing an embodiment of a hierarchical structure. In the table of contents in FIG. 17, it is an exemplary view showing assuming when “shopping” is selected. When “shopping” is selected in the table of contents of FIG. 17, an item related to soaping is displayed in a separate window 97. In addition, in the present invention, for convenience of description, a table of contents that first appears as a separate window is referred to as a first layer.

In the first layer 60, items 1 through "fashion brand" through 9 "furniture household products" exist. And, the second hierarchical structure consists of nine tables of contents. In addition, the third hierarchical structure has a large number of all items existing in the second hierarchical table of contents.

Meanwhile, in the above example, the number of items is only one embodiment, and the number of items is 1 or 2 or more.

That is, in the second hierarchical structure, the table of contents 61-1 is a lower layer of the item "1. Fashion brand" among the tables of contents of the first layer 60. In addition, in the second hierarchical structure, the table of contents 61-9 is a lower layer of the item "9. Household living products" among the table of contents of the first layer 60.

In addition, the table of contents 61-1-1 in the third hierarchical structure is a lower layer of the item "1-1. Women's clothing fashion" among the tables of contents in the second hierarchy 61-1. In addition, in the third hierarchical structure, the table of contents 61-9-10 is a lower layer of the item "10. 000 0000 00" among the table of contents of the second layer 61-9.

That is, when one item is selected from the items of the first-tier table of contents, information corresponding to the selected item appears as a table of contents, and this table of contents becomes the second layer, and another item exists in the table of contents for the second layer.

And, when one item is selected from the items of the second-tier table of contents, information corresponding to the selected item appears as a table of contents, and this table of contents becomes the third layer, and another item exists in the table of contents for the third layer. Therefore, in this way, the fourth and fifth layers may also exist.

For example, if you select the "Newspaper" item, you will see a new table of contents with items like Newsweek, The New York Times, and the Washington Post. Then, when the item "Internet" is selected, a new table of contents with Google, Yahoo, Naver, etc. is displayed.

In addition, selecting the item “Messenger” displays a new table of contents with KakaoTalk, Telegram, Line, and Wiki as items, and when a Telegram is selected from the above items, it is connected to the Telegram.

20 is a view showing an embodiment in which the first layer is displayed on the display 30 as a separate window 97. And, FIG. 21 is a view showing an embodiment in which the second layer is displayed as an additional separate window 97a.

In conclusion, the table of contents is determined by reflecting priorities, input words, recommendations, etc., but it is also determined by the concept of hierarchy.

-Stepwise operation command-

In the present invention, there are steps from the lowest step 1 step to the highest step K step, and from the current N step (N step is any one step within step 1 to K step) to any step. A step-by-step operation instruction that is a moving method will be described. And. 5 to 10 of the present invention have described various embodiments of the stepwise operation command.

The stepwise operation command is a method capable of moving two or more steps from the current step to the stepwise operation command. And, as in step 1 to step 3, there is a step-by-step operation command that moves in a high step direction (K step direction) in the current step. Also, there is a step-by-step operation command that moves from the current step to the lower step direction (one step direction) as it is moved from three steps to one step.

At this time, when a stepwise operation command is performed by a method such as distance movement or angle movement, both the movement in the high step direction and the movement in the low step direction are possible. However, when the stepwise operation command is performed by the method of maintaining time, the movement of the higher stage is possible, but the movement of the lower stage is not easy. Therefore, in the present invention, more various stepwise manipulation commands are proposed.

1) The movement to the high level performs a stepwise operation command in a manner of maintaining time, but the movement to the low level performs a stepwise operation command in a method of distance or angle movement.

The movement to the high level is possible in the stepwise operation command by the method of the embodiment of FIG. 6, and the movement to the low level is possible in the stepwise operation command in the method of FIG. 5 or FIG. 8.

For example, when moving from step 1 to step 3, a stepwise operation command is performed by a method of maintaining time of 1 second, and when moving from step 3 to step 1, a stepwise operation command may be performed by a method of 2 cm movement or 30 degree movement. .

2) In step 1, it is possible to move more than 2 steps, but a step-by-step operation command may not be executed after step 2.

Alternatively, only one-step movement may be possible after the second stage, or one-stage movement may be possible in a lower stage direction (one-stage direction) after the second stage.

Of course, when adjusting the method of the step that is moved to the step-by-step operation command from step 2 onward, the step is not limited to step 2, the step moving rule of item 2) from step 3 or higher can be applied, and any N From step to step, the step movement rule of item 2) may be applied.

On the other hand, in any N step, only J step movement may be possible, where N is 2 or more and K is up, and J is 2 or more. The J step shift can be a high step shift or a low step shift.

3) The movement to the high level performs a step-by-step operation command by a method of maintaining time, but a step-by-step operation command is possible by selecting a specific mark (the operation mark 34a in FIG. 22) to the low level.

22 is a diagram of an embodiment showing the method of the embodiment of item 2).

FIG. 22A is one step in which a stepwise operation command can be executed, and corresponds to the selection area 32 in the previous embodiment of the present invention. In (A) of FIG. 22, the first stage information is represented as an image, but may be text information, video information, or the like.

The image (step 1) of FIG. 22 (A) is selected through the input device 28, and according to the length at which the selected time is maintained, the display 30 of FIG. 22 (B), which is the second step 34, is displayed. ) May be displayed on the display 30, and (C) of FIG. 22, which is a third step, may be displayed on the display 30.

However, it is difficult to use the time keeping method to move from step 3 to step 1 or step 2 or step 2 to step 1.

That is, the present invention provides a method of a stepwise manipulation instruction for moving in a low step direction (one step direction) in various embodiments below.

1) If you touch only once, only one step moves in the lower step direction (one step direction).

2) If you select the exit button that is commonly used on smartphones, only one step moves in the lower step direction (one step direction).

3) When the operation mark 34a of Fig. 22 is selected, it moves in the lower step direction (one step direction).

In other words. In FIG. 22, when the first step 32, the second step 34, or the third step 36 is selected and the stepwise operation command is executed, the step is moved in the high step direction.

However, when the operation mark 34a is selected and the stepwise operation command is executed, the step is moved in the lower step direction. Moving to a lower level means moving from 3 to 1 level.

Here, the fact that the steps 32, 34, 36 or the operation mark 34a is selected means selecting the area where the steps 32, 34, 36 or operation mark 34a are displayed on the display through the input device. Is that

23 is a diagram of another embodiment of information that can be displayed in step 23.

14 to 18 have described various embodiments of information that can be displayed in steps. And Figure 24 is another embodiment of information that can be displayed in steps.

Referring to the embodiment of FIG. 23, a search box 95 is displayed on the display 30 as information corresponding to an arbitrary N step (where N is any N from 1 to K), and within the search window 95 A word search box 95a may exist, and a voice search box 95a may exist. It is natural that an image search box may also exist.

Meanwhile, through the search window, information may be searched, other functions may be searched, and other programs may be searched.

Also, when other functions are searched and selected, other functions are performed or connected. Also, when another program is searched and selected, another program is executed or connected.

24 is a diagram of an embodiment when the character is a selection area.

As shown in FIG. 24, if the received character (1) 32 is selected as the selection area, and a stepwise manipulation command is performed on the selected received character (1) 32, the second or third step 34, 36 ) Corresponds to information displayed on the display 30.

Also, according to the method of implementation, information corresponding to further steps such as 4 steps and 5 steps is also displayed on the display 30.

On the other hand, even if the transmission / reception text (1) (2) becomes a selection area and a stepwise operation command is executed, the method of the embodiment of the present invention is applied as it is.

For example, if the transmission / reception text (1) (2) becomes the selection area 32, and the step-by-step operation command is performed on the transmission / reception text (1) (2), it corresponds to the second, third, or N steps The information to be displayed is displayed on the display 30.

31 is a view of an embodiment showing another embodiment of the present invention.

31A is a diagram of an embodiment in which a password input window is displayed on the display 30. For example, when a password is set for information on a certain step, the password must be input, and the information on the step is displayed on the display 30.

That is, when one arbitrary N-step information is displayed on the display 30 from Step 2, Step 3, Step 4 (34.36.38) or Step 1 (lowest step) to K (highest step), the N When a password is set for the information on the step, the password input window 5 is displayed on the display 30 as shown in FIG. 31 (A).

Then, a password is input to the password input window 5, and the central processing unit 20 or the control unit 101 of the server displays information on the step 30 when the input password matches a preset password. Will be displayed. The server's control unit determines whether the passwords match or not and displays them on the display.

31B is a diagram of an embodiment showing a method for automatically displaying step information.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the user inputs step information, a function for automatically displaying step information may be used. That is, when the user inputs step information and selects automatic display of step information, the automatic setting window 6 is displayed.

In addition, the automatic display may or may not be designated in the automatic display of step information 6a. When “Y (yes)” is selected in the automatic display of step information 6a in FIG. 31B, the automatic display is set. If “N (no)” is selected, automatic display is not set.

And, when the automatic display is set, it is possible to designate a step that is automatically displayed on the display. For example, if the entire step is from step 1 to step 5, specify step 1 for the start step in the step setting window 6b, and step 4 to 1 if the end step is designated as step 4 in the step setting window 6b. Until, the step information is automatically displayed. In addition, the information of step 5 is not automatically displayed on the display, but is displayed on the display only when a stepwise operation command is executed.

At this time. The step information automatically displayed means that steps 1 to 4 are automatically displayed sequentially. Then, when the time is specified in parentheses in the step setting window 6b, when the steps are automatically displayed in sequence, the time at which each step is displayed is designated.

On the other hand, it is natural that the above-described automatic setting can be set not only for the user of the smartphone 110 but also for the server operator, and it is also possible to cancel the automatic display setting, that is, the display information displays the step information for which the automatic display setting is specified. When the user who wants to display cancels the automatic display setting, step information is not automatically displayed.

That is, one arbitrary N-step information is displayed on the display 30 from Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, Step 4 (32,34.36.38) or Step 1 (lowest step) to K (highest step). When displayed, the stepwise operation command can be executed in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 32.

That is, if the step information displayed on the display in FIG. 32 is selected and the selection point is moved in the direction of the left arrow, the step is moved in a lower direction (one step direction). Then, by selecting the step information displayed on the display and moving the selection point in the direction of the right arrow, it moves one step in a high direction (K step direction).

On the other hand, the movement speed can be reflected, that is, when moving in the direction of the arrow, the longer the contact time (the slower the speed), the more steps can be moved. For example, if the time at which the selection point moves in the direction of the arrow is 0.5 seconds or less than 0.5 second, the number of times the selection point moves in the direction of the arrow is 1 second. If it is 0.5 second or more and less than 1 second, it moves in two stages (low or high).

At this time, various methods (circular movement, angular movement, etc.) of the present invention are applied to the method of moving the selected point, and step movement according to a predetermined time or a predetermined range is also applied to the embodiment of the present invention.

In addition, as in the embodiment of the present invention, even if the selection point is moved in the direction of the arrow, it is no longer moved below 1 step and no more than above K step.

That is, when a stepwise operation command is executed on the first display 30-1, the result is displayed on the second display 30-2. Of course, if a stepwise manipulation command is executed on the second display, the result can be displayed on the first display.

For example, if a selection area (currently 1st step) is selected on the first display 30-1 to move 2nd step through a stepwise manipulation command, the final step becomes 3rd step, and information corresponding to the 3rd step is the 2nd step. It is displayed on the display 30-2.

The function of FIG. 34 can be executed in the central processing unit (or control unit of the server) of the smart phone according to the algorithm stored in the memory unit (or data base of the server) of the smart phone. That is, the information corresponding to the selected final step is displayed on the second display as a result of the operation command of the step input through the first input device 28-1 provided on the first display.

On the other hand, when input of step information is selected through the first display 30-1, the input window 45 is displayed on the second display 30-2, so that the user of the present invention uses the smartphone 110 to step. Information corresponding to. That is, information corresponding to the step is input to the input window 45.
