The user may input a user command 620 that touches a region of the screen and then flicks upward. Then, the controller recognizes the user command as a next schedule display command and displays an area including the next schedule on the screen. The controller divides the flickering intensity into a plurality of stages, and when receiving the flickering command included in the strongest stage, as shown in FIG. 6B, the controller displays detailed information 630 of the next schedule. Can be displayed at the top of the When receiving the flicking command included in the weakest step, as shown in FIG. 6C, detailed information 640 for the next schedule may be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

As described above, the next schedule may be displayed adaptively to the strength of the flickering by changing the area for displaying detailed information about the schedule according to the intensity of the flickering.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a method of displaying a contact screen according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, when the contact display mode is set (S710), the controller reads and displays the first contact previously stored in the contact database in memory according to a user's command (S720). The user may input a first contact display command by inputting some information included in the first contact using the keypad. Alternatively, when the contact display mode is set, the controller may read out and display the contact having the lowest alphabetical or alphabetical order among the contacts as the first contact.

In addition, the controller may display the second contact point according to a user's command (S730). The user may input a second contact display command by inputting some information included in the second contact. Alternatively, by touching the forward arrow icon or the reverse arrow icon displayed on the touch screen, a command for displaying the previous or next contact of the first contact when the alphabet is sorted alphabetically or alphabetically may be input. Then, the controller may display the previous or next contact of the first contact as the second contact. The first contact point and the second contact point preferably include text.

The controller determines common text included in the first contact and the second contact (S740). Here, the common text means text having the same characters and positions of the characters.

On the other hand, when receiving a user command to touch a specific key for a predetermined time (S750, S760-N, S770), the control unit reads and displays another contact including the common text in the contact database (S780). The specific key may be a forward arrow icon. Until the touch ends, it is preferable that the controller sequentially displays other contacts including the common text one by one at predetermined time intervals. When displaying other contacts, it is preferable that the controller displays the other contacts in an increasing or decreasing direction in alphabetical or alphabetical order.

Meanwhile, when all other contacts including the common text are displayed, the controller may generate a notification indicating that the display of the contact including the common text has ended on the screen where the last contact is displayed and display the pop-up window. Alternatively, the controller may change the remaining text except the last text among the common texts to the common text. Then, other contacts including the changed common text may be sequentially displayed one by one.

The contact display method as described above may be applied to an electronic document including text. That is, the present invention may be applied to a method of searching for a word including common text.

8 is a reference view illustrating a method of displaying a contact screen according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

 When the contact display mode is set, as shown in FIG. 8A, the controller displays the first contact among the contacts previously stored in the contact database on the touch screen 800. When the user touches the area where the forward arrow icon 805 is displayed within a predetermined time and ends the touch, as shown in FIG. 8B, the control unit removes the next contact of the first contact when it is sorted alphabetically. 2 is indicated by the contact 820. Meanwhile, the user may touch an area where the forward arrow icon 805 is displayed and maintain the touch state. If the touch state is maintained for a predetermined time or more, the controller compares the first contact point and the second contact point to determine common text. As shown in FIG. 8C, the third contact 830, which is another contact including the common text, is read from the contact database and displayed. When displaying the third contact 830, the controller preferably displays the common text 832 among the third contacts 830 to be distinguishable from the remaining text. On the other hand, when there are a plurality of other contacts including the common text, the controller may sequentially display the other contacts one by one at predetermined time intervals. When the display of the contacts including the common text is finished, the controller changes the common text. For example, when the common text is composed of three texts, the controller may change two texts except the third text to common text and sequentially display the contacts including the changed common text one by one. 8D illustrates a screen displaying another contact 840 including the changed common text 842.

As described above, the common texts may be sequentially changed one by one. In FIG. 8E, another screen 850 including the changed common text 852 is shown. In FIG. 8F, another contact 860 when the common text disappears is illustrated. The screen displaying the is shown.

As described above, since the contact can be searched according to the common text, the user can search the contact more quickly. In addition, users can search a wider range of contacts by sequentially reducing common text.

In the present embodiment, while receiving a user command to touch, the controller sequentially displays the contacts including the common text in alphabetical or alphabetical order, but is not limited thereto. While receiving a user command to touch, the controller may sequentially display the contacts including the common text one by one based on the frequency of communication. Here, the communication frequency refers to the number of transmission and reception of a call, a message and the like corresponding to the terminal corresponding to the contact.

9 is a reference view for explaining a contact display method according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 9A, the contact display screen 900 may include a search window 910. The user inputs a search word in the search box 910 using the keypad. Then, as illustrated in (b) of FIG. 9, the first contact 930 having the lowest alphabetical order among the contacts including the search word 920 is displayed on the touch screen. If the user ends the touch within a predetermined time after touching the area where the forward arrow icon 905 is displayed, as shown in (c) of FIG. 9, the control unit is the next contact of the first contact when sorted alphabetically. The second contact 940 is displayed on the touch screen. Meanwhile, the user touches an area where the forward arrow icon 905 is displayed and maintains the touch state. If the touch state is maintained for a predetermined time, the controller displays the contact 950 having the highest communication frequency among the contacts including the search word, as shown in FIG. 9 (d). Although not shown in the drawing, if the touch state is maintained again for a predetermined time, the controller may display another contact having the second highest communication frequency among the contacts including the search word.

Content display including common text is not limited to contacts. It can also be applied to general electronic documents (eg, e-books, web pages, etc.) containing text.

10 is a reference diagram illustrating a common text search method in an electronic document according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 10A, an area 1000 of the electronic document is displayed on the touch screen. The user enters a search word 1030 in the search box 1020 and touches an area where the forward arrow icon 1040 is displayed. If the touch time is within a predetermined time, as illustrated in FIG. 10B, the controller may search for and display the text 1050 including the search word. However, when a predetermined time has elapsed in the touched state, the controller searches for and displays the text 1060 composed of only the search word, as shown in FIG. In addition, whenever a predetermined time elapses in the touched state, it is preferable that the next text composed of only a search word is displayed in a distinguishable manner.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a method of displaying object information by touch in an augmented reality mode in an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 11, in augmented reality mode, a preview image of a camera is displayed on a touch screen of a portable terminal (S1110). In detail, when a user selects a shooting mode as an augmented reality mode through a manual of a mobile terminal, the touch screen may include a preview image for previewing an image to be captured by the camera (hereinafter referred to as a 'camera preview image' or 'preview image'. Is displayed.

The controller acquires location information of the mobile terminal and direction information of the camera (S1120). For example, the controller acquires location information of the mobile terminal through the GPS module, and obtains direction information of the camera from a direction sensor (not shown) attached to the camera.

In addition, the controller performs shape recognition on the object in the preview image (S1130). The object to be subjected to shape recognition is not limited, but it is preferable to have object information while having a certain size. For example, it is preferable that a building or the like is an object to be subjected to shape recognition.

The controller identifies the object displayed on the preview image by using the position information, the direction information, and the shape recognition result of the camera, and obtains information on the identified object (S1140). The object is identified by comparing the recognition result with information about the object stored in the object information database in memory (hereinafter referred to as 'object information'). If the object information database is not already stored in the memory of the portable terminal, the object information database of the external device may be used by connecting to an external device having the object information database through the wireless communication unit. In the object information database, location information of an object whose object information has the object information is matched and stored.

In the present embodiment, the object is identified using the position information, the direction information, and the shape recognition result of the camera, but is not limited thereto. That is, at least one of position information, direction information, and shape recognition result of the camera may be used. In identifying an object, using all three of the above elements is to identify the object more accurately.

The controller determines whether there are a plurality of objects having the same object information (S1150). When there is one object having the same object information (S1150-N), the controller displays the object and the object information by matching it (S1155). Here, the matching of the object information and the object means that the object information is displayed in an area adjacent to the area where the object is displayed or an indicator for connecting the object information and the object together with the object information.

If it is determined that there are a plurality of objects having the same object information (S1150-Y), the controller displays the object information by matching any one of the plurality of objects (S1160). In detail, the controller may display object information by matching the object with the closest distance based on the current position.

On the other hand, if a predetermined time elapses after touching a specific key (S1170, S1187-N, S1180-Y), the controller displays the object information by matching with another object of the plurality of objects (S1190). Here another object may be the next adjacent object. When displaying the object information, the previously displayed object information may be moved and displayed, or the object information may be additionally displayed.

As such, when there are a plurality of objects having the same object information in augmented reality, instead of displaying the object information for each object, only one object information is displayed and while the user command to touch is received, the other object is not displayed. Because object information is also displayed, object information can be provided more efficiently.

12 is a reference diagram illustrating a method of selecting object information in augmented reality.

As illustrated in (a) of FIG. 12, in the augmented reality mode, the touch screen displays object information on an object included in the preview image together with the preview image 1210 of the camera. The user may touch an area in which the first object information 1220 that the user wants to select in order to select the first object information 1220 is displayed. Then, as illustrated in (b) of FIG. 12, the controller displays the first object information 1230 to be distinguishable from other selected object information. The control unit may couple the activation icon to the first object information to identifiably display the first object information. Meanwhile, when the controller changes the selection of the object information to the second object information, the controller touches an area where the reverse arrow icon 1240 is displayed. Then, the control unit moves the activation icon in the reverse direction and, as shown in FIG. 12C, combines the second object information in the reverse direction to display the second object information 1250.

As described above, when there is a plurality of object information, the object information can be selected using the arrow icon, so that the selection of the object information becomes easy.

13 is a reference view for explaining a method of displaying the same object information in association with an object of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 13A, a preview image 1310 and object information of a camera are displayed on a touch screen. The user touches an area where the forward arrow icon 1330 is displayed to check whether there are more objects related to the selected object information 1320. When a user command to touch is received for a predetermined time, as illustrated in FIG. 13B, the controller may additionally display the object information 1340 by matching with another object having the same object information. When a user command to touch is received for a predetermined time, as shown in FIG. 13C, the controller may move and display the added object information 1350 to match another object having the same object information. Can be. If the user wants to end the search for the same object information, the user ends the touch of the area in which the forward arrow icon is displayed. If the user wants to finish displaying the added object information, the user touches an area where other object information is displayed.

Meanwhile, the present invention can be embodied as processor readable codes on a processor readable recording medium provided in a mobile terminal such as a mobile station modem (MSM). The processor-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording devices that store data that can be read by the processor. Examples of the processor-readable recording medium include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, optical data storage device, and the like, and may be implemented in the form of a carrier wave such as transmission through the Internet. The processor-readable recording medium can also be distributed over network coupled computer systems so that the processor-readable code is stored and executed in a distributed fashion.
