Hereinafter, the icon output unit 110 and the screen output control unit 120 will be described in more detail.

The icon output unit 110 described above may always output the screen control icon for controlling the screen output on the touch screen 130 at a predetermined position, or may be output when the user desires.

If the user wants to output the screen control icon when desired, the icon output unit 110 is different from the first touch event generated when the user touches the screen control icon to control the screen output on the touch screen 130. When the second touch event, which is another touch event, continuously occurs for a predetermined time, the screen output control function may be activated and a screen control icon may be output on the touch screen 130.

The above-mentioned "second touch event" is a touch event associated with the activation of the screen output control function and the output of the screen control icon, and the "first touch event" after the screen control icon is output according to the occurrence of the second touch event, A touch event that occurs when a user touches a screen control icon.

Meanwhile, for the screen output control function, a screen control icon should be output on the touch screen 130. If the user continuously touches the touch screen 130 for a predetermined time, the second touch event (this is a press event) If a plurality of functions can be activated, it should be possible to select and activate one of the plurality of functions.

Accordingly, the icon output unit 110 is a function to be activated when the second touch event continuously occurs for a predetermined time in the touch screen 130, and when there is one or more other functions defined in addition to the screen output control function, the screen output is performed. You can selectively activate one of the control functions and one or more other functions.

For example, the icon output unit 110 may selectively activate one of the screen output control function and one or more other functions according to the occurrence position of the second touch event.

For example, when a location where the second touch event occurs is a margin area (an area where no object such as information, images, photos, contents, icons, buttons, etc. is displayed), the icon output unit 110 may be used. The screen output control function may be activated to output a screen control icon on the touch screen 130. When the location where the second touch event occurs is not the margin area, the icon output unit 110 may activate another function and output an object corresponding to the other function.

As another example for activating the above-described optional function, the icon output unit 110 is a function to be activated when the second touch event continuously occurs in the touch screen 130 for a predetermined time, and other functions in addition to the screen output control function are further provided. The screen output control function and one or more screens according to the dragging direction or location of the third touch event (which is a different touch event than the second touch event) after the second touch event continuously occurs for a predetermined time. You can also selectively activate one of the other functions.

For example, the icon output unit 110 is a function to be activated when the second touch event continuously occurs for a predetermined time in the touch screen 130, and when there is one or more other functions in addition to the screen output control function, the screen control is performed. Outputs an icon and an object corresponding to one or more other functions, and controls the screen output according to the dragging direction or location of the third touch event or the dragging direction after the second touch event continuously occurs at one location for a predetermined time. Can be deleted and an object corresponding to another function not to be activated or a screen control icon corresponding to a screen output control function to be activated and not to be activated can be deleted.

As described above, after the screen control icon is output on the touch screen 130 by the icon output unit 110, the screen output control unit 120 controls the screen output according to a user touch on the screen control icon. .

As an example for screen output control, when the first touch event occurs in a region where a screen control icon is output on the touch screen 130, the screen output controller 120 may include a top page screen according to a screen output setting value. One of a bottom page screen, a previous page screen, a next page screen, and a specific screen may be controlled to be output to the touch screen 130.

As another example for screen output control, when the first touch event occurs in the region where the screen control icon is output on the touch screen 130, the screen output controller 120 may move according to the direction information of the first touch event. The page screen or the next page screen may be controlled to be output on the touch screen 130, or the top page screen or the bottom page screen may be controlled to be output on the touch screen 130.

As another example for controlling the screen output, the screen output controller 120 outputs the touch screen 130 in units of pages when the first touch event occurs in the region where the screen control icon is output on the touch screen 130. You can control the screen.

As another example for screen output control, when the first touch event occurs in the area where the screen control icon is output on the touch screen 130, the screen output controller 120 may include the first letter type of the screen display character (eg, The screen output to the touch screen 130 may be controlled based on the type of consonant, the type of alphabet, and the like.

This screen output control will be suitable for the application list screen.

As another example for controlling the screen output, the screen output controller 120 checks the date information displayed on the current output screen when the first touch event occurs in the region where the screen control icon is output on the touch screen 130. The screen displaying the contents corresponding to the date information or the slow date information before the confirmed date information may be controlled to be output to the touch screen 130. Controlling the screen output based on the date information may be applied to the message list screen or the messenger screen on which the date information is displayed.

Meanwhile, when the first touch event occurs in the area where the screen control icon is output on the touch screen 130, the screen output controller 120 may be configured according to one or more of a drag direction, a drag distance, and a drag speed of the first touch event. In addition, one or more of a moving direction, a moving distance, and a moving speed of the screen output on the touch screen 130 may be controlled.

In addition, the screen output control unit 120 may generate a drag in a region where the screen control icon on the touch screen 130 is output and drag the longer the drag distance of the first touch event or the faster the drag speed, the touch screen 130. The screen moving speed of the screen output to the control can be quickly controlled, or the screen output to the touch screen 130 may be controlled to switch to the previous page screen or the next page screen.

As described above, when the user controls the screen output according to the drag distance for dragging the screen control icon, the screen output controller 120 stores information corresponding to the screen moving speed or the screen switching position for each of the plurality of drag distance ranges. In this regard, the drag distance range to which the drag distance of the first touch event belongs among the plurality of drag distance ranges is checked and according to the screen moving speed or the screen switching speed corresponding to the checked drag distance range, You can control the movement or switching of the output screen.

For example, when the drag distance is in the drag distance range of 0 mm or more and less than 3 mm, the screen switching speed of the screen output on the touch screen 130 is 0 or the screen output on the touch screen 130 is switched. The position may be unchanged.

In addition, when the drag distance is within the drag distance range of 3 mm or more and less than 5 mm, the screen moving speed of the screen output to the touch screen 130 is a predetermined low speed value (for example, a speed of moving forward or backward 0.15 pages per second). Alternatively, the screen switching position at which the screen output on the touch screen 130 is switched may be a position corresponding to the previous page screen by 0.15 pages or the next page screen by 0.15 pages.

In addition, when the drag distance is within the drag distance range of 5 mm or more and less than 8 mm, the screen movement speed of the screen output to the touch screen 130 is a predetermined medium speed value (for example, the speed of moving forward or backward one page per second). Alternatively, the screen change position at which the screen output to the touch screen 130 is switched may be a position corresponding to one page page or one page next page screen from the current page.

In addition, when the drag distance falls within the range of 8 mm or more and less than 10 mm, the screen moving speed of the screen output to the touch screen 130 is a predetermined high speed value (for example, a speed of moving 8 pages forward or backward per second). Alternatively, the screen switching position at which the screen output to the touch screen 130 is switched may be a position corresponding to 8 pages previous page screen or 8 pages next page screen.

In addition, when the drag distance is within the drag distance range of 10 mm or more, the screen moving speed of the screen output to the touch screen 130 is a predetermined high speed value (for example, the speed of moving to the top page screen or the bottom page screen in 1 second). ), Or a screen switching position at which the screen output to the touch screen 130 is switched may correspond to a position of a top page screen or a bottom page screen.

The screen output to the touch screen 130 mentioned in the present specification is not a screen that can be viewed without scrolling, but is a screen consisting of seven or more screens that can be viewed only by scrolling.

For example, the screen may be one of an application list screen, a content list screen, a message list screen, a messenger screen, a chat screen, and a web page screen.

The first touch event generated when the user touches the screen control icon to control the screen output may include, for example, a tapping event, a drag event, a flicking event, and a press event ( Press Event) and the like.

In the following, the types of touch events mentioned above will be described.

A tapping event is a touch event that occurs when a user taps an object displayed on the touch screen 130 (for example, numbers, letters, symbols, or icons) lightly and then floats. A tapping event such as a mouse click on a general PC is performed. Say

The drag event is a touch event that occurs when a user selects a specific object displayed on the touch screen 130 and moves it to a specific position while pressing (touching) the object. After moving continuously, it is fixed in the floating motion.

The flicking event is a touch event that occurs according to an operation (flying) of the contact after the user touches the touch screen 130 and moves in one of the specific directions (up, down, left, right, or diagonal). As a result, processing of a specific operation is performed in accordance with the operation direction and the moving speed of this flicking event. For example, an operation process of moving or switching to the previous page screen or the next page screen that matches the direction of the flicking event may be performed.

The press event refers to a touch event that occurs according to an operation in which the user continuously touches the touch screen after touching the touch screen 130.

Hereinafter, a screen output control method according to an embodiment of the present invention described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 11.
