Abstract

An input device is provided to input information on the top of a display. When a specific position is selected through the input device, the selected position is outputted. A central processing unit detects the selected position. When a step-by-step control command targeting the selected position is executed through the input device, the central processing unit detects the step-by-step control command and determines a step of the control command. The central processing unit determines a final step obtained by reflecting the step of the control command in the current state of information displayed on the display. The central processing unit selects information connected to the final step and displays a list, the table of contents, or information according to a command of the input device. Therefore, desired information can be quickly displayed on a screen and switching to a screen corresponding to desired information can be rapidly performed by selecting a specific area among list, table of contents, and information and executing a step-by-step control command.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The configuration of the present invention and the operation and effect thereof will be clearly understood through the following detailed description.

Further, a detailed description of the known technology may be omitted.

- Example 1-

1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a terminal connected to a server through a wired / wireless Internet.

The server 100 in the communication system constitutes a system for operating various information providing services through the wired and wireless Internet. An input unit 103 for inputting and managing information by an administrator or operators of the server 100, an output unit 105 for outputting or displaying information, a database unit 104 for storing various information and information on service operations, And an interface unit 102 capable of transmitting and receiving data to and from an accessory via the Internet or a communication network. On the other hand, the information means all information such as an image, a moving picture, and a text.

The terminal (or computer) 110 is a device capable of transmitting and receiving various information through wired / wireless Internet (or communication network).

Therefore, the terminal 110 is provided with a CPU 20 serving as a central processing unit, a display unit 30 for displaying motion pictures and various information, a memory unit 21 for storing information, an input device 28 for inputting information And a data input / output unit 10 capable of inputting and outputting information or data.

2 is a block diagram of a terminal.

In the drawing, a central processing unit (CPU) 20 is a control means for controlling the overall operation of a portable terminal (display device) used in an embodiment of the present invention. The RAM 21 controls the execution program of the display device. The RAM 22 stores data generated at the time of executing the program. The RAM 23 stores data required by the user and data .

The R / F unit 24 is a radio frequency, tunes to an RF channel, amplifies an input voice signal, and converts an RF signal received from the antenna into an intermediate frequency signal. The input / output unit 10 includes various input devices 28, a numeric key, a menu key, and a selection key, and includes a speaker and the like.

There is a display driving circuit 25 for driving the display by the output of the central processing unit 20 and a display 30 for displaying information on the screen in accordance with the output signal of the driving circuit.

In addition, the central processing unit controls the input device 28 through the driving unit 27.

Meanwhile, although the portable terminal has been taken as an example of the present invention, the apparatus for displaying information using the control of the central processing unit, the input device 28, and the flat panel display device corresponds to the portable terminal of the present invention .

3 is a diagram illustrating a structure of an input device that can be implemented in the present invention.

(A) and (B) show a cross-sectional view of the input device, in which (A) and (B) show a capacitive method.

That is, in FIG. 3A, an electrode plate 29a coated with a transparent electrode is disposed under the protective plate 28a, and the electrode plate 29a is formed of one or two films coated with a transparent electrode.

2B, two films 29a and 29b coated with a transparent electrode are provided on the protective plate 28a so as to face each other while maintaining a predetermined gap therebetween. The input device 28 And an outer protective plate (or a transparent plate) 28b may be further provided on the upper side. The protective plate 28b is coated with a desired pattern.

3 shows an example of the input device 28 which is commonly used. However, the present invention is not an invention for the input device 28, but an input device 28 for inputting information on the display can be used as one technology in the present invention. Therefore, in the present invention, any input device capable of inputting information on the display can be used as an embodiment of the present invention.

That is, if information can be input at the top of the display, an input device capable of inputting information without touching the surface of the display can be used as an embodiment of the present invention.

- Example 1 -

4 and 5 are views of an embodiment for performing an operation command through an input device.

Generally, in order to input information (control command) through the input device at the top of the display 30, a small bar is used or a finger is used to input the information.

(Or information) through the input device 28 at the top of the display, such as enlarging or reducing the image displayed on the display, as in Fig.

FIG. 5A is a view showing that a control command can be executed by a distance moved through an input device. FIG. 5B is a view showing a state in which when a circular movement is performed through an input device, And the control command can be executed with the magnitude of the angle.

For example, if information input through the input device is recognized and displayed in steps, the information displayed on the display screen when the user moves through the input device by one step is different from the information displayed on the display screen when the user moves by two steps .

On the other hand, a possible method for recognizing and determining the stepwise operation command is as follows.

1) When one point is input through the input device and the input point is moved, the distance to be moved is recognized and determined in steps.

2) When two or more points are input through the input device and the input point is moved, the distance by which two or more points are moved is recognized and determined in steps.

3) One or more points are rotated, and the angle of rotation is recognized and determined in steps.

4) Any operation on the display is recognized, and the recognized operation is judged as a step.

5) The motion of the terminal is recognized, and the recognized motion is judged as a step.

That is, the stepwise control command is recognized as described above, and the information corresponding to the recognized step is selected in the database 104 or the memory unit 21 to be displayed on the display screen.

At this time, the database refers to a database in the server, but a separate database may be provided outside the server 100 according to circumstances. Similarly, the memory unit 21 refers to the memory unit 21 in the terminal 110, but an external memory is also possible.

FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate an embodiment in which two points are input and moved through an input device to perform a stepwise control command.

As shown in FIG. 6, two points are input and moved through the input device 28 through two fingers (or two bars). The moving distance of the point is divided into steps, and information corresponding to each step is displayed on the display screen.

At this time, since the step is at least a predetermined number N of at least two steps and if the step is too many, it is inconvenient in execution, so it is practically appropriate that the step 10 or the step 5 is within the range.

6 (A) is a diagram of an embodiment in which two points are brought closer to each other, when a path on which a stepwise control command is performed through the input device (or a path on which the input point has moved) is referred to as a guide line 50 , And Fig. 6 (B) is a view of an embodiment in which two points are distant from each other.

When viewed from the view (A), when the starting point is "50e" and the ending point is "50a", the distance for each step (for example, the distance from "50d" to "50c") is predetermined. Therefore, if the distance from 50e to 50a is 50 mm, and 50d to 50c is 10 mm, the moving distance is recognized as 5 steps up to 50 mm in steps of 10 mm .

Similarly, when viewed from Fig. 5B, when the starting point is "51a " and the destination is" 51e ", the total distance that can be recognized and the distance of one step are predetermined.

If the above process is regarded as a control process inside the terminal, the input device driving unit 27 outputs the point input through the input device 28, and when the input device driving unit outputs the point movement, (In some cases, the detection signal of the input device 28 is transmitted to the server 100 and may be recognized by the control unit 101 of the server).

That is, the central processing unit 20 (or the control unit 101 of the server) recognizes the distance change between the two points, and determines the distance change step by step based on the predetermined stepwise distance reference.

Figure 7 is a diagram of an embodiment of a method for storing information in stages.

In FIG. 6A, if the first stage (start point) is "50e ", the storage information" 50e-1 "corresponding to the first stage exists (of course," 50-1 " , And the information corresponding to "50-1" is specified.)

If the first step is " 51a " in FIG. 6B, then the storage information "51a-1" corresponding to the first step exists (of course, "51a-1" It is needless to say that information corresponding to "51a-1" is specified.)

For example, when the storage medium is moved from the first stage to the second stage to become the third stage, the corresponding storage information also changes from "50e-1" to "50c-1" (or from "51a-1" to "51c- The information displayed on the display is also the third step information in the first step information.

Although the signs are differentiated by distinguishing the case where the distance between the two points is reduced (FIG. 6 (A)) and the case where the distance between the two points is ascertained (FIG. 7 (B)), Do. That is, the information of the first stage information "50e-1" and the information of "51a-1" are the same information.

If the step is high, it is desirable that the detail of the information (or the data amount of the information) is also increased. Also, it is preferable to increase the step as the distance between the two points increases.

8 is a flowchart of an embodiment according to the step-by-step instructions of the input device of the present invention.

Starts a terminal 110 and executes a program capable of stepwise control through an input device (S100 - S105)

The above step may be executed in the internal program of the terminal 110, and the program may be executed in connection with the server 100. [

When the terminal user of the present invention selects two specific points (or one or more) through the input device 28, the input device driver 27 outputs the position of the selected point , The central processing unit 20 recognizes the position of the selected point (S 110)

When the selected point is moved through the input device 28 capable of inputting information at the upper end of the display 30, the input device driver 27 outputs the position of the moved point. Then, the central processing unit 20 recognizes the change distance of the point, determines the step where the point has moved, and finally determines the step of the control command. ((S 115 - S120)

Meanwhile, if the terminal executes the processes from step 110 to step 120 (S120), the process can be classified as follows.

First, the terminal central processing unit transmits the location and movement information of the point output from the input device driver 27 to the server, and the controller 101 of the server determines the step of the control command.

Second, the terminal central processing unit 20 recognizes the position and movement information of the point outputted from the input device driver 27, the terminal central processing unit 20 determines the step of the control command, The central processing unit sends the step to the server.

Data transmission / reception between the terminal and the server is performed by the interface unit 102 of the server and the R / F 24 of the terminal using a communication network.

At this time, the step-by-step determination of the central processing unit 20 (or the control unit 101 of the server) is performed according to a predetermined standard. That is, if 10 mm is 1 stage and the selected point moves 20 mm, it is moved in two stages, and if 30 mm moved, it is moved in 3 stages. It also judges whether two points are near or far apart.

On the other hand, a range can be set when the central processing unit judges a step. For example, if it is moved 18 mm, it can be judged that it has moved 20 mm, and it can be judged as moving in 2 stages. If it is moved 15 mm, it is regarded as moving 10 mm and it can be judged as moving 1. It can also be considered.

After the above process is performed, the central processing unit 20 adds or subtracts the changed step as a result of the control command to the step of the information currently displayed on the display 30, and determines a new final step. The information associated with the new final step is then displayed on the display. That is, the central processing unit 20 outputs a display drive signal for displaying the newly selected information, and the newly selected information is displayed on the display 30. (S 125 - S 135)

For example, if the information displayed on the current display is one level and the control command is + two levels, the finally selected level becomes three levels and the three levels information is displayed on the display screen. Also, if the information displayed on the current display is in four stages and the control command in two stages, the finally selected stage becomes the two-stage and the two-stage information is displayed on the display screen.

That is, if the current step moves from the step S to the + direction, the moving step x is added to the current step S to make the final step. If the current step moves in the minus direction, the moving step x is subtracted from the current step S to form the final step. The information associated with the final step is displayed on the display screen.

At this time, the + direction or the - direction is predetermined. For example, when the distance goes away, it is set as + direction, when moving clockwise, it is set as + direction, when moving up, it is set as + direction.

Then, the highest step of the movable step is predetermined. For example, if the highest possible step is 5 stages, the final selection stage is recognized as 5 stages even though the current stage is 3 stages and the control command is 3 stages so that the final stage is 6 stages. Also, even if the present stage is two stages and the execution order of the control command is four stages so that the final stage becomes the stage-2, the final stage is recognized as the stage 1 (if the stage 0 exists, the stage is the stage 0). ).

The above process is divided into the following processes according to the connection between the terminal and the server.

First, in a state where the terminal and the server are not connected, the central processing unit 20 determines the final step, selects the information associated with the final step from the memory unit 21, and displays the selected information on the display.

Secondly, when the terminal and the server are connected, the controller 10 of the server selects the information corresponding to the final step in the database 104 of the server, and when the selected information is transmitted to the terminal, The received information is displayed on the display.

This process is performed by selecting the information stored in the memory unit by the central processing unit. Algorithms that can perform this operation are also stored in the memory unit. To this end, information corresponding to each step is stored in the memory unit 21. [

In addition, when the controller of the server performs the above process, information corresponding to each step is stored in the database 104 of the server, and the execution algorithm is also stored in the database.

9 is a flowchart of an embodiment in which control of the server and control of the terminal coexist.

The control unit 101 of the server 100 selects the information to be displayed on the display 30 of the terminal 110 from the database 104 and transmits only the wired / wireless communication Or the Internet).

When the central processing unit 20 of the terminal outputs the display driving signal as the received information, the display 30 displays the information received from the server (S 150 - S 165).

At this time, it is determined whether or not the information displayed on the display can be converted by the control command of the step. The control unit 101 of the server may determine the information or the central processing unit 20 of the terminal may determine the information. (S 170) If the information corresponding to step 170 is displayed on the display screen, And transmits information of another stage related to the information to the terminal (S 175)

In other words, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 18, when information capable of converting the information display is displayed on the display on the display, the controller of the server transmits information of other steps related to the currently displayed screen to the terminal .

For example, in the example of FIG. 7, when the server transmits the screen information of the first stage to the terminal, the server also transmits the information of the second through fifth steps to the terminal.

In order to perform the above function, it is possible to execute the algorithm according to the determination of step 170, but it may be possible that the information of other steps linked to the screen information is also stored in the database 104 by being connected.

That is, the control unit of the server transmits the screen information to the terminal according to a predetermined algorithm, but may also transmit information of other stages connected to the screen information to the terminal.

The central processing unit 20 of the terminal stores the received information in the memory unit 21 and determines the final step according to the embodiment of the present invention when the step of the control command through the input unit 28 is performed, After selecting the information associated with the final step, the selected information is displayed on the display. (S 180). On the other hand, if the program ends and the end switch is activated, the terminal ends (S 185 - S 190)

- Example 2 -

Figs. 10-14 are diagrams of embodiments illustrating a method for easily selecting a table of contents. Fig.

10 is a diagram of an embodiment showing a general table of contents of a digital textbook. A menu selection bar 30a is displayed at the top of the display.

11 is a view of an embodiment selected from one of the table of contents. If you select one of the table of contents and hold a certain amount of time (such as 1 or 2 seconds), the table of contents you select will be activated as shown in the figure.

Fig. 11 shows that the activation of the present invention is displayed on the display such that when the table of contents of "establishment and development of consideration" is selected, the color of letters changes or flickers to distinguish them from other letters. In this process, when the information is input through the input device, the central processing unit displays the selected letter differently according to a predetermined algorithm.

Then, after selecting the table of contents, as in the embodiment of the present invention, information is magnified in one step in association with "establishment and development of consideration" when the display is moved in the + direction in one step.

That is, as shown in FIG. 12, if the step of information is in three stages, the three stages of information are displayed on the display window 40 by selecting " establishment and development of consideration " When the information of the first level is displayed on the display window 40 and the information is moved in the + direction by two levels, the information of the third level is displayed.

Further, when the third-level information is displayed on the display window 40, the information of the first level is displayed when moving in two directions in the -direction, and only the table of contents of " establishment and development of consideration "

Naturally, even if another table of contents is selected, for example, "Unified Silla and Bohai", the same method of step marking becomes possible.

On the other hand, in the embodiment of Fig. 11, the display window can be immediately closed by selecting the "x" mark 40e displayed on the top of the display window 40. [ That is, regardless of any information displayed on the display window, if the "x" mark 40e is selected, the display window is closed and the display is switched to the first display step (step 1 or step 0).

13 is a diagram of an embodiment showing a method of storing data 50 for step-by-step information display. When the information is divided and stored in the respective steps 50a, 50b, and 50c and the corresponding step is selected, the information displayed in the step can be displayed on the display.

On the other hand, when a page number is displayed in the list shown in the third embodiment and one of the lists is displayed, the page corresponding to the selected list is displayed on the display 30.

For example, if Step 3 is displayed on the display window 40 and "Civilized Noble Society - 131" is selected from the list of information displayed in Step 3, the content of 131 pages is displayed on the display 30 of the terminal.

Systematically, when information indicating the location of the "Tribal Society - 131" is output through the input device driver, the central processing unit selects information on page 131 from the memory and displays it on the display screen. The controller of the terminal may select the corresponding page in the database so that the corresponding page is displayed on the terminal display screen.)

FIG. 14 is a view of an embodiment showing that stepwise information input is hierarchical. As shown in FIG. 14, when the table of contents of "establishment and development of consideration" is selected and moved in the + direction by one step, the information on the first stage 40 connected with "establishment and development of consideration" is displayed on the display window 40.

Then, if one of the lists of information displayed in the above step 1 (for example, "characteristics of Koryo culture") is selected and maintained for a certain period of time, only the characteristics of Koryo culture are activated and activated Characteristic information "is displayed on the additional display window 40a when the step command is executed with respect to the " feature ".

Then, if one of the lists displayed in the additional display window 40a is selected, the selected page is displayed on the display.

- Example 3 -

FIGS. 15 to 18 are views of an embodiment in which a table of contents can be displayed on a specific page. FIG.

FIG. 15 is a view of an embodiment showing a general form of a digital textbook. In the selection menu bar 30a, when a selection button 30b is selected, a page bar 35 is displayed as shown in FIG.

The page bar 35 displays a page in the form of a scale in the form of a tape measure. When a specific page displayed on the page bar 35 is selected, the selected page is displayed on the display 30 screen. For example, if "200" is selected in the page bar 35, 200 page contents are displayed on the display screen.

At this time, the page bar 35 for implementing the present invention is not necessarily limited to the shape shown in Fig. It can be said that the method corresponds to the embodiment of the present invention if the page is displayed in a line.

17 and 18 are views of an embodiment using the page bar 35 of the present invention. 17 shows only the page bar 35, and each of the page bars 35 can be divided into a plurality of areas. And you can choose one specific area,

That is, as shown in FIG. 17, 50 may be divided as a basic unit. Of these, one region (only the region from 100 to 150 is selected in FIG. 17) can be selected. When the user selects one area, the selection area 35a is activated and displayed on the screen, distinguishing it from the other areas.

The central processing unit 20 recognizes the selection area 35a and determines the selection area 35a so that the selection area 35a is displayed. Are distinguished from other areas and displayed on the display.

At this time, only the selection region 35a can be separated from the page bar 35 and displayed on the display screen as shown in FIG. When a step-by-step operation instruction (control instruction of the step described in the embodiment of the present invention) is applied to the selection area 35a, the selection area 35a is enlarged step by step and associated with the selection area 35a The additional information is displayed on the screen.

FIG. 18 shows an embodiment in which it is assumed that the information displayed on the screen is in three stages when a stepwise operation command is executed in the selection area 35a. When the stepwise operation command is executed, one step of the first step 35a, the second step 35b and the third step 35c is displayed on the display,

The method of displaying information corresponding to the display screen as the selected point is moved through the input device is according to the previous embodiment of the present invention.

Then, after selecting the page displayed on the display after the stepwise operation command, the selected page is displayed on the display. In other words, if the user selects "130 from the farmer " in Fig. 18, the content of 130 pages is displayed on the display. As a result, the screen display shifts to 130 pages in digital textbooks.

In addition, in the embodiments shown in Figs. 10 to 18, only one of a plurality of items is selected and a step-by-step operation command is performed. However, it is also natural that a step-by-step operation command can be performed by selecting two or more items. It is also possible to select another item and execute a stepwise operation command without selecting the "x" mark 40e of FIG. 11, that is, without closing the display window 40 resulting from the stepwise operation command. Alternatively, even when the result of the stepwise operation command is displayed on the screen, another step may be selected to execute the stepwise operation command.

19 is a diagram of an embodiment showing a method of storing information step by step.

In the above embodiment of the present invention, although the example in which the degree of detail of the information is increased when the step is increased, in reality, the degree of detail of the information does not necessarily increase as the step increases,

That is, the information needs to be different for each step. The type of information (text information, image information, a mixture of text and image information, video information, etc.) may be different for each step. This is an embodiment showing a method of information stored in the database 104 or the memory unit 21 for each step according to this reason.

In other words, if the process is performed, mail of a desired date can be searched for and displayed on the display screen quickly.

22 is a view of another embodiment to which the present invention is applied;

22 is a diagram of an embodiment in which a sent character or messenger is displayed on a display screen. There is a character box 38, a simple table of contents 38a is displayed on the side thereof, and each area divided by the date is indicated by a scale.

Accordingly, when a date area is selected according to the method of the previous embodiment of the present invention and a step-by-step operation command is performed, the selected date area is further displayed in detail. Namely, It can be displayed. If one of the detailed information is selected, characters associated with the selected information are displayed on the display screen.

Figures 23 and 24 are views of yet another embodiment of the present invention with a search function,

A search window 42 is provided around the page bar (simple table of contents) 35, and a search word can be input to the search window. Then, the page including the inputted search word is displayed on the page bar 35. [

For example, if the word "silent" is input to the search window 42 as shown in FIG. 23, the word " silent " may be included (included in the title or included in the sentence in the page) And is displayed on the page bar 35 as the display screen 42a. In the example of FIG. 23, a separate scale 42a is displayed on the page bar 35, such as 75 pages, 125 pages, 150 pages, etc., and the word "

In FIG. 24, even when detailed information is displayed by operating a step-by-step operation instruction in the selection area 35a, the page including the word input in the search window 42 is displayed as a separate scale 42a. In this case, the separate scale 42a means that it is distinguished by color, shape, visual effect, or the like,

When a page is selected in the page bar 35, the selected page is displayed on the display screen.

25 is a diagram of an embodiment in which a partial region is selected and an operation command of a step is executed.

The program of the terminal is executed and the display of the step 30 is performed on the display 30 of the terminal 110 (S 200 - S 210)

Then, when a certain area is selected in the screen displayed on the display, the selected area is activated. Then, a step operation command is executed in the selected area (S 215 - S 220)

This process is similar to the embodiment in which some areas are selected and activated in the entire screen as in the description of FIGS. 10 to 24.

When the process is performed inside the terminal, the central processing unit recognizes the information output by the input device driver. However, when the control unit of the server recognizes the information, the output of the driving unit is transmitted to the server, To the server.

When the operation command of the step is executed in the selected area, the execution result is displayed on the display screen (S 225)

This process is also the same as the embodiment shown in Figs. 10 to 24. The information displayed on the display as a result of the process of step S 225 is determined by the selection of the central processing unit 20 in the terminal memory unit 21. However, the server may transmit the information selected in the database 104 to the terminal, and the central processing unit 20 may display the received information on the display.

At this time, it is also possible that the control unit of the server can display the information of the database of the third server.
