9 is a flowchart illustrating a page editing method according to the present embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 9 , after operation 505 of FIG. 5 , the electronic device 100 performs operation 901 to determine whether a specific thumbnail image is touched on the page indicator. Thereafter, in operation 903 , it is checked whether a touch for a specific thumbnail image is a long press touch, and if the touch is a long press touch, operation 907 is performed to display the touched thumbnail image by floating. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a known display method that can be displayed before moving the touched thumbnail image may be used. Thereafter, in operation 908 , a corresponding function may be performed according to a drag and drop touch of the selected thumbnail image.

Meanwhile, in operation 903 , when the touch on a specific thumbnail image is not a long press touch, the page for the corresponding thumbnail image is changed to the current page displayed on the display unit and displayed. In this case, although not shown, it is obvious that the thumbnail image corresponding to the changed current page may be highlighted and displayed.

FIG. 10 is a diagram exemplarily illustrating the method of FIG. 9 .

Referring to FIG. 10 , when the electronic device 100 identifies a long press touch on the thumbnail image corresponding to the second page 612 in the page indicator 610, the corresponding thumbnail image 612 is displayed by floating. At the same time, the second page 602 corresponding to the floating thumbnail image 612 is displayed as the current page. Of course, a plurality of other objects 6021 , 6023 , 6024 , 6025 , and 6026 may be displayed on the second page 612 .

On the other hand, if a drag and drop touch is confirmed while the touch on the thumbnail image 612 is maintained, a corresponding function corresponding to the area to which the thumbnail image 612 is moved may be performed.

For example, as in the case of ① of FIG. 10 , when a thumbnail image is dragged and dropped from the trash can area, it is determined that the corresponding page is deleted, and not only the corresponding page but also objects included in the corresponding page (6021, 6023, 6024, 6025) , 6026) can also be deleted. However, the user may be informed of the existence of the corresponding objects 6021 , 6023 , 6024 , 6025 , and 6026 before and reselection for deletion may be received.

In addition, as in the case of ② of FIG. 10 , when the thumbnail image 612 is dragged and dropped between the thumbnail image 613 corresponding to the third page and the thumbnail image 614 added to the page, the thumbnail image corresponding to the second page The position 612 may be changed and displayed between the third thumbnail image 613 and the page addition thumbnail image 614 .

11 is a flowchart illustrating a method of moving an object according to the present embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 11 , after operation 505 of FIG. 5 , the electronic device 100 performs operation 1101 of confirming a long press touch on the object displayed on the current page. After that, operation 110 of floating and displaying the selected object is performed, and it is checked whether operation 1105 or operation 1109 is performed. If the electronic device 100 performs operation 1105 to determine whether the selected object is moved to another area of the current page, and if the movement is confirmed, operation 1107 is performed to display a thumbnail image of the current page corresponding to the page to which the object is moved. Change to thumbnail image.

Meanwhile, in operation 1103 , it is checked whether the selected object is moved to a specific thumbnail image area of the page indicator, and operation B or operation C may be continuously performed.

12A and 12B are diagrams exemplarily illustrating the method of FIG. 11 .

Referring to FIG. 12A , when a long press touch on a specific object 6026 is confirmed among a plurality of objects 6021, 6023, 6024, 6025, 6026 of the second page 602, the corresponding object ( 6026 is displayed floating, and a shadow image 6026-1 corresponding to the shape of the corresponding object 6026 is displayed below it. The shadow image 6026 - 1 may be formed to have the same size as the selected object 6026 but to have an area that does not match the object 6026 . Therefore, when the corresponding object 6026 is moved, the shadow image 6026-1 also moves together to provide the user with a three-dimensional effect according to the movement, as well as select the area to be moved with respect to the object 6026 covered by the finger. can be easily induced.

Referring to FIG. 12B , the object 6026 selected by the user has moved to the left area of the current page, and accordingly, the second thumbnail image 612 of the page indicator 610 is also the objects 6021 of the current page 602 . , 6023, 6024, 6025, 6026), it can be seen that the change corresponds to the changed arrangement relationship.

Hereinafter, the contents related to operation 1109 will be described below.

13 is a flowchart illustrating a method of moving an object according to the present embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 13 , when it is confirmed that the touch operation on the object moved to the specific thumbnail area after operation 1109 of FIG. 11 is a drag and drop touch, the object is moved to the page corresponding to the specific thumbnail image operation 1303 is performed. Therefore, thereafter, the thumbnail image corresponding to the page in which the object is changed is changed by performing operation 1305, but the previously displayed page is continuously maintained on the display unit in operation 1307.

14A and 14B are diagrams exemplarily illustrating the method of FIG. 13 .

As shown, a long press touch on a specific object 6026 among a plurality of objects 6021 , 6023 , 6024 , 6025 , 6026 included in a page 602 currently displayed on the display unit 131 . is confirmed, the electronic device 100 may float the selected object 6026 and also display the shadow image 6026 - 1 together. Thereafter, it can be confirmed that the selected object 6026 is dragged in the direction of the arrow of FIG. 14A and dropped from the area of the specific thumbnail image 613 of the page indicator 610 .

In this example diagram, after long-pressing a specific object 6026 of the second page 602, drag it to the area of the thumbnail image 613 corresponding to the third page 603 of the page indicator 610 and confirm that it is dropped did. In this case, as shown in FIG. 14B , the current page displayed on the display unit 131 maintains the second page 602 as it is, but the moved object 6026 is displayed in a missing state. Also, since the page currently displayed on the display unit 131 is the second page 602 , the second thumbnail image 612 of the page indicator 610 may be highlighted and displayed.

In addition, the structure of the thumbnail images 612 and 613 of the page indicator 610 is changed by the movement of the object 6026 . For example, in the thumbnail image 612 corresponding to the second page (current page) 602 of the page indicator 610, the moved object 6026 is displayed in a disappeared state, and in the third thumbnail image 613, The moved object 6026 is changed and displayed in an added state.

That is, when an object included in the current page is moved to the corresponding thumbnail image area by a drag and drop touch operation after a long press touch, only the object is moved to the corresponding page and there is no change in the current page.

15 is a flowchart illustrating a method of moving an object according to the present embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 15 , when the drag and hold operation on the object moved to the specific thumbnail area after operation 1109 of FIG. 11 is confirmed, the hold time for which the selected object is maintained in the specific thumbnail image area is Operation 1503 is performed to check whether it is within the threshold range. If the hold time is greater than or equal to a preset threshold range, operation D is performed.

However, if the hold time is within a preset threshold range, operation 1505 of moving the object to a page corresponding to a specific thumbnail image is also performed. Here, the hold time within the preset threshold range means a state in which the touch holding time is longer than that of drag and drop, and it is confirmed that the touch is released within the threshold range.

Thereafter, by performing operation 1507, the electronic device changes the page currently displayed on the display unit 131 to the page to which the object has been moved and displays it. In operation 1509, the electronic device changes the thumbnail image corresponding to the page in which the object is changed, An operation 1511 of highlighting a thumbnail image corresponding to the page is performed.

16A and 16B are diagrams exemplarily illustrating the method of FIG. 15 .

As shown, a long press touch on a specific object 6026 among a plurality of objects 6021 , 6023 , 6024 , 6025 , 6026 included in a page 602 currently displayed on the display unit 131 . When is confirmed, the electronic device may float the selected object 6026 and also display the shadow image 6026 - 1 together. Thereafter, it can be confirmed that the selected object 6026 is dragged in the direction of the arrow of FIG. 16A and held within a threshold time in the region of the specific thumbnail image 613 of the page indicator 610 .

In this example, after a long press touch on a specific object 6026 of the second page 612, drag it to the area of the thumbnail image 613 corresponding to the third page 603 of the page indicator 610, and within a threshold time It was confirmed that it was held until In this case, as shown in FIG. 16B , it can be seen that the current page displayed on the display unit 131 is changed to the third page 603 to which the object 6026 is moved. Also, since the page currently displayed on the display unit 131 is the third page 603 , the third thumbnail image 613 of the page indicator 610 may be highlighted and displayed.

In addition, the structure of the thumbnail images 612 and 613 of the page indicator 610 is changed by the movement of the object 6026 . For example, in the thumbnail image 612 corresponding to the second page (current page) 602 of the page indicator 610, the moved object 6026 is displayed in a disappeared state, and in the third thumbnail image 613, The moved object 6026 is changed and displayed in an added state.

That is, if an object included in the current page is moved to the thumbnail image area by a drag and hold touch operation within a certain threshold range after a long press touch, the page currently displayed along with the object is also changed to the page to which the object was moved. And it was found.

Therefore, the user can move only the object to the desired page by performing a drag and drop or drag and hold operation to the thumbnail image to be moved after long-pressing the object included in the current page, or the page to which the object is moved together with the object is moved to the current page. can be easily changed to

17 is a flowchart illustrating a method of moving an object according to the present embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 17 , in operation 1503 of FIG. 15 , after a drag and hold touch of an object to a corresponding thumbnail image area is confirmed, a continuous touch maintenance occurs to the extent that the hold time exceeds the threshold range. , the electronic device 100 changes and displays the page corresponding to the thumbnail image to which the object is moved as the current page on the display unit in operation 1701 . Thereafter, in operation 1703, a ghost image of an object to be moved is displayed in a preset area of the current page. Here, the preset area means an empty area in which an object of a page to be moved does not exist. In addition, it may be a preset area, for example, a blank area in which the left is prioritized and the uppermost is the top priority. Also, the ghost image is a virtual image of an object to be moved, and a known dotted line, blurred image, etc. may be applied.

Thereafter, if dragging is confirmed in a specific direction in the thumbnail image area selected in operation 1705, operation 1707 of moving the ghost image from the current page according to the drag direction is performed. Thereafter, if it is confirmed in operation 1709 that the touch is released, operation 1711 of fixing the selected object instead of the ghost image to the moved area of the current page is performed. Thereafter, in operation 1713, the thumbnail image corresponding to the page to which the object is changed is changed, and in operation 1715, the thumbnail image corresponding to the page to which the object is moved is highlighted.

18A and 18B are diagrams exemplarily illustrating the method of FIG. 17 .

As shown in FIG. 18A , when continuous touch maintenance occurs to the extent that the hold time exceeds the threshold range after the object 6026 refines the drag and hold touch in the area of the corresponding thumbnail image 613, the electronic device ( As illustrated in FIG. 100 , the area of the thumbnail image 613 of the page indicator 610 in which the object 6026 is located is displayed larger as an image 613-1 for dragging. For example, the drag image 613 - 1 for the corresponding thumbnail image 613 may be displayed larger than the highlighted size of the thumbnail image. This is because the user facilitates the direction movement of the object 6026 in the area of the image 613 - 1 for dragging with respect to the thumbnail image.

At the same time, the current page 603 displayed on the display unit 131 is changed to a page 603 corresponding to the thumbnail image 613 of the page indicator 610 to which the object 6026 has been moved, and the corresponding object 6026 is displayed. A recognizable ghost image 6026-2 is placed in a blank area of the current page.

In this figure, it means that the object 6026 included in the second page 602 is moved to the third page 603 by a long press touch and a drag and hold operation to the area for the third thumbnail image 613. Accordingly, the current page displayed on the display unit 131 is changed to the third page 603 . Also, a ghost image 6026 - 2 of an object 6026 to be moved may be displayed in the blank area of the third page 603 . In FIG. 18A , the object 6026 is moved in the direction of the arrow (right), and accordingly, the ghost image 6026-2 of the object 6026 displayed on the current page 603 is also moved to the right.

That is, the user can conveniently move the object moved to the page indicator 610 by a drag and hold operation to a desired area of the page by simply maintaining the touch for a period of time greater than or equal to the threshold range.

18B shows a state in which touch release is confirmed after the drag operation of the object 6026 and the object 6026 is completely fixed at a desired position on the third page 603 . In this case, the object 6026 has moved to the right of the third page 603 displayed as the current page on the display unit 131 , and accordingly, the moved object 6026 is displayed in the second thumbnail image 612 of the page indicator 610 . ) is changed to a deleted state, and the third thumbnail image 613 is also changed to a state in which the object 6026 is moved to the right. Also, since the third thumbnail image 613 is being displayed on the current page 603 of the display unit 131 , it may be highlighted and displayed.

19 to 22 are flowcharts illustrating a method of moving an object while long-pressing and touching the object without a separate editing screen according to the present embodiment.

In the above-described embodiments, a method of entering a separate page editing mode to edit a page and move an object has been described. In this embodiment, since the page editing mode is not released even after page editing and object movement, it is advantageous for continuous page editing and moving a large number of objects.

In this embodiment, a method for conveniently performing a single movement of an object without entering a separate page letter mode is presented. In the present embodiment, since the object movement mode is automatically released without an operation for a separate release input after the selected object is moved, it may be more convenient in terms of object movement.

19 is a flowchart illustrating a method of moving an object according to the present embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 19 , the electronic device 100 performs operation 1901 of confirming a long press touch on a specific object among a plurality of objects displayed on the display unit. Accordingly, the electronic device enters the object movement mode by performing operation 1903 . Since the object movement mode is the same as the page editing mode illustrated in FIGS. 12A and 12B described above, the illustration thereof is omitted. That is, when the object movement mode is entered, operation 1905 is performed to display the current page, a thumbnail-type page indicator for the entire page is displayed, and operation 1907 is performed for highlighting by floating the selected object at the same time.

After the object is also displayed by floating, it is checked whether operation 1909 or operation 1913 is performed. If the electronic device 100 performs operation 1909 to determine whether the selected object is moved to another area of the current page, and if the movement is confirmed, operation 1911 is performed to change the thumbnail image for the current page. If the touch on the object is released in this state, the electronic device releases the object movement mode and displays the basic screen (the screen of FIG. 3 ) on the display unit.

Meanwhile, in operation 1913, it is checked whether the selected object is moved to a specific thumbnail image area of the page indicator, and operation E or operation F is continuously performed.

20 is a flowchart illustrating a method for moving an object according to the present embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 20 , when a drag and drop touch is confirmed as a touch operation for an object moved to a specific thumbnail area in operation 2001 after operation 1913 of FIG. When the operation 2003 of moving to the page is performed, the electronic device releases the object movement mode and displays the basic screen (the screen of FIG. 3 ) on the display unit.

21 is a flowchart illustrating a method of moving an object according to the present embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 21 , when the touch operation on the object moved to the specific thumbnail area after the operation 1913 of FIG. 19 confirms drag and hold, the hold time during which the selected object is maintained in the specific thumbnail image area is Operation 2103 is performed to check whether it is within the threshold range. If the hold time is greater than or equal to the preset threshold range, operation G is performed.

However, if the hold time is within a preset threshold range, operation 2105 of moving the object to a page corresponding to a specific thumbnail image is also performed. Here, the hold time within the preset threshold range means that the touch holding time is longer than that of drag and drop, and the touch is released within the threshold range.

Thereafter, by performing operation 2107, the electronic device changes the page currently displayed on the display unit to the page to which the object is moved and displays it, and releases the object movement mode in operation 2109. At this time, the basic screen displays the page to which the current object is moved, not the page where the first object is located.

22 is a flowchart illustrating a method of moving an object according to the present embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 22 , after the object is dragged and held on the thumbnail image area in operation 2103 of FIG. 21 , if continuous touch maintenance occurs to the extent that the hold time exceeds the threshold range, the electronic device moves the object in operation 2201 The page corresponding to the thumbnail image is changed and displayed on the display unit as the current page. Thereafter, in operation 2203, a ghost image of an object to be moved is displayed in a preset area of the current page. Here, the preset area means an empty area in which an object of a page to be moved does not exist. In addition, it may be a preset area, for example, a blank area in which the left is prioritized and the uppermost is the top priority. Also, the ghost image is a virtual image of an object to be moved, and a known dotted line, blurred image, etc. may be applied.

Thereafter, if dragging is confirmed in a specific direction in the thumbnail image area selected in operation 2205, operation 2207 of moving the ghost image from the current page according to the drag direction is performed. Thereafter, if it is confirmed in operation 2209 that the touch is released, the object movement mode is also released in operation 2211 and a basic screen is displayed on the display unit. At this time, again, the basic screen displays the page to which the current object is moved, not the page where the initial object is located.

23 is a flowchart illustrating a fast page navigation method d according to the present embodiment, FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating the method of FIG. 23 exemplarily, and FIGS. 25A and 25B are the method of FIG. 23 It is a diagram exemplarily showing a panning distance for page navigation according to .

In this embodiment, a fast page navigation method is proposed on the current basic screen (the screen of FIG. 3 ) rather than entering a separate page editing mode or object moving mode.

In the case of FIG. 24 , in the related art, five swipe touches were performed in one direction to turn all five pages, and only one page was turned over by one swipe operation. Such a configuration is not only a cumbersome operation to search for a large number of pages, but also takes a long time to search.

Accordingly, the present embodiment provides a convenient effect of navigating or moving the entire page only by a panning touch operation for a predetermined distance in the touch area. Although not shown, when checking a swipe touch instead of a panning touch, the electronic device may sequentially turn over one page.

Referring to FIG. 23 , the electronic device identifies a panning touch in the current page area in operation 2301 , and checks the entire page in operation 2303 . Thereafter, after checking the panning length corresponding to the total number of pages in operation 2305, page turning is performed according to the panning length checked in operation 2307.

24 , the user will perform a panning operation after touching the display unit 131 , and the electronic device 100 may check the panning touch and perform page turning according to the panning direction. In this case, when the display unit 131 performs the panning operation, a separate panning length indicator 190 may be displayed, and the currently displayed panning length indicator 190 may be displayed according to the position of the scroll bar 191 displayed on the corresponding panning length indicator 190 . You can figure out where the page is on the whole page. Thus, the total length of the pan length indicator 190 will be the pan length.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and even if the panning length indicator and the scroll bar are not displayed on the display of the electronic device 100 , the user may intuitively perform fast page turning. For example, the display of the panning length indicator and the scroll bar during the panning operation is optional, and may be defined by a user's setting.

In this figure, the transition from the fourth page P4 to the fifth page P5 is illustrated. In this case, the display unit 131 has a larger area and corresponds to the indicator 180 corresponding to the displayed page. 184 may be displayed highlighted relative to the other remaining indicators 181 , 182 , 183 , 185 .

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 25A , when the entire page is three pages (P1, P2, P3), the panning length d1 may be set to a relatively short length. For example, the panning length d1 may be set to be about 1/4 of the total length of the electronic device display unit 131 in the width direction. That is, in the area of the display unit 131 , all three pages can be easily searched only by a panning operation having a length d1.

Also, as shown in FIG. 25B , when the entire page is 7 pages (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7), the panning length d2 may be set to a relatively long length. However, no matter how long, it is not preferable to set the length to be too long for the user's panning touch. Accordingly, in the case of FIG. 25B , the panning length d2 may be set to be about 1/2 of the total length of the electronic device display unit 131 in the width direction. That is, all 7 pages can be easily searched in the area of the display unit 131 only by a panning operation having a length d2.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the panning length may always be set to a certain length regardless of the total number of checked pages. Such a set length may be set to a length that is easiest for a user to make a panning touch on the display unit.

Moreover, the panning length may be set by the user regardless of the total number of pages.

*Obviously, there are many different ways in which these embodiments can be modified while remaining within the scope of the claims. In other words, there may be many other ways in which the invention may be practiced without departing from the scope of the following claims.
