The controller 370 also responds to the slide up / down event 2734 in response to the slide up / down event 2734 input through the sub area 120 if the internal event 2721 is a slide up / down event 2734 It is possible to control the related screen to be displayed through the main area 110 while controlling the function of the portable terminal.

The control unit 370 also responds to the jump event 2735 input through the sub area 120 as shown in the operation example previously described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12 when the internal event 2721 is a jump event 2735 It is possible to control the related screen to be displayed through the main area 110 while controlling the function of the portable terminal according to the related art.

The controller 370 may also select a clip event 2736 that is selected in the main area 110 and clipped to the sub area 120 as in the operation example shown in Figs. 19 to 23, if the internal event 2721 is a clip event 2736 The related screen is displayed in the main area 110 while controlling the function of the portable terminal according to the clip or copy of the clip item in response to the clip event 2736 selected in the sub area 120 or in the main area 110, Or sub-area 120, as shown in FIG.

If the input event is the external event 2723, the control unit 370 identifies the type of the external event (step 2750). For example, the controller 370 may check whether the external event 2723 corresponds to any of the charging event 2751, the notification event 2752, and the mass event 2753.

The controller 370 may control the event information output corresponding to the internal event 2721 input to the sub area 120 of the vended display 100 (step 2760).

For example, when the external event 2723 is a charging event 2751, the controller 370 charges the battery of the portable terminal in response to the charging event 2751 as in the operation example shown in FIG. 9, Area 120 to be displayed.

The control unit 370 responds to the notification event 2752 when the external event 2723 is the notification event 2752 and displays a related screen corresponding to the notification information such as the indicator information of the portable terminal, 120 to be displayed.

In addition, when the external event 2723 is the mass event 2753, the control unit 370 grasps the mass of the attached file in response to the mass event 2753 as in the operation example shown in Figs. 24 to 26, Area 120 to be displayed.

28 is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a function using the vender display 100 in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 28, when the event input is received (Step 2801), the controller 370 checks the event type of the input event (Step 2803) and determines whether the input event is an internal event or an external event (Step 2805).

If the controller 370 determines that the input event is an internal event (YES in 2805), the controller 370 determines the type of the internal event (Step 2807). For example, the control unit 370 may check whether the internal event corresponds to a motion event, a scroll event, a zoom in / out event, a slide up / down event, a jump event, and a clip event .

If the kind of the internal event is determined, the controller 370 determines a function for the internal event (step 2809), and controls the operation of the portable terminal according to the determined function (step 2811). For example, the control unit 370 determines a function corresponding to the input motion event, and controls operations such as releasing the lock mode of the portable terminal or executing an application (e.g., call function) according to the quick command of the motion event . Alternatively, the control unit 370 may determine a switching range corresponding to the input jump event, and may control operations such as switching the content screen of the portable terminal according to the switching range of the jump event. Alternatively, the control unit 370 may generate clip data corresponding to the input clip event and store the clip data in the clipboard or copy the clip data stored in the clipboard to the execution screen of the main area 110. [

The control unit 370 may control the screen display corresponding to the internal event after controlling the operation of the portable terminal according to the internal event (step 2813). That is, the controller 370 can control the display of the operation control result of the portable terminal according to the internal event in either the main area 110 or the sub area 120. [ For example, the controller 370 may display a result screen according to the motion event in the main area 110, display a different result screen in the jump event in the main area 110, May be displayed in at least one of the main area 110 and the sub area 120. [ In the case of the clip event, a state in which the clip item is clipped in the sub area 110 or a state in which the clip data of the clip item clipped in the sub area 120 is pasted on the execution screen of the main area 110 is displayed can do.

If the controller 370 determines that the input event is an external event (NO at 2805), the controller 370 determines the type of the external event (step 2815). For example, the controller 370 can check whether the external event corresponds to a charging event, a notification event, or a mass event, as described above.

If the type of the external event is determined, the control unit 370 determines event information about the external event (step 2817), and controls the screen display of the sub area 120 according to the determined event information (step 2819 ). For example, the control unit 370 may display the charge information in the sub area 120 in response to the charge event, display the notification information in the sub area 120 in response to the notification event, The sub-area 120 can be used to display the mass of the sub-

In the example of FIG. 30, in the state where the first interaction input based on the sub-area 120 is maintained, the portable terminal checks an index corresponding to the first interaction when the sensor-based second interaction is input , Information corresponding to the index can be extracted. For example, the photo data belonging to the index (date) to which the first interaction is input can be extracted from the photo data of the photo list of the main area 110. When the portable terminal extracts the photograph data corresponding to the index, it displays a screen as shown in FIG. That is, the picture list screen of the portable terminal shown in FIG. 30 is switched as shown in FIG. 31 according to the first interaction and the second interaction input.

As shown in FIG. 31, the portable terminal can display the photo list screen for the photo data corresponding to the index (date) in which the first interaction is input in the sub area 120, and display it. That is, when the portable terminal inputs the first interaction to the specific index of the sub-area 120 and inputs the second interaction to tilt the portable terminal, the information of the main area 110 based on the specific index to which the first interaction is input And can be represented by filtering. That is, a screen having information based on the specific index is displayed in the main area 110.
