The display control apparatus 100 according to the embodiment provides an input window for displaying a character string input by a user, displays a cursor indicating an input position of a character string in an input window, and controls the position of the cursor And a control pad provided separately from the input window. Meanwhile, the display control apparatus 100 according to another embodiment displays a block for editing a character string in an input window, and the control pad controls the area selected by the block, i.e., the position of the block, Or < / RTI >

Referring to FIG. 1, the display control apparatus 100 includes a character string obtaining unit 110, an input signal obtaining unit 120, an input signal analyzing unit 130, and a display control unit 140.

The character string obtaining unit 110 may obtain a character string input from a user. The display control unit 140 displays a character string acquired by the character string acquisition unit 110 on the screen. The display control unit 140 can display an input window and display a character string in the input window. The character string obtaining unit 110 according to the embodiment may limit the length of the character string, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The display control unit 140 may further display a control pad, which is a separate area for controlling the operation in the input window, at a position other than the input window. The control pad according to the embodiment of the present invention can control the position of the cursor indicating the input position of the character string or the position of the block indicating the editing position of the character string. Also, the control pad according to the embodiment of the present invention can edit a character string in an input window.

The input signal acquisition unit 120 acquires a user's input signal input to the control pad. The input signal may be input through a touch panel provided over the display unit, or may be input through a separate input device such as a mouse or a tablet. For example, the input signal may be a touch signal that touches one point, a drag signal that moves to another point while touching one point, a multi-touch that touches two or more points at the same time, Long tap, and the like. Although the embodiments of the present invention are described below in which the input signal obtained by the input signal obtaining unit 120 is a touch signal or a drag signal, for example, in the embodiments of the present invention, Or a drag signal. The input signal is not limited to a signal input by the touch panel but includes a signal input by a separate device.

The input signal analyzing unit 130 analyzes the inputted user input signal, determines a process corresponding to the input signal, and outputs a corresponding control signal. The control signal output by the input signal analyzing unit 130 can be output to the display control unit 140 and the display control unit 140 can control the display of the screen based on the control signal. For example, the input signal analyzing unit 130 may control the position of the cursor or control the position of the block, based on the input signal obtained by the input signal obtaining unit 120, And outputs the control signal.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a display control method according to an embodiment.

The flow chart shown in Fig. 2 consists of the steps processed in the display control apparatus 100 shown in Fig. Therefore, it will be understood that the contents described above with respect to the configurations shown in FIG. 1 apply to the flow chart shown in FIG. 2, even if omitted from the following description.

Referring to FIG. 2, in step 21, the display control unit 140 of FIG. 2 displays an input window and a control pad. The input window is for displaying the cursor indicating the input position of the character string and the character string, and the control pad is for controlling the position of the cursor displayed in the input window.

In step 22, the character string obtaining unit 110 of FIG. 2 obtains a character string input to the input window. The string may be input from the user. The display control unit 140 displays a character string on the input window and displays a cursor indicating an input position of the character string.

On the other hand, the character string obtained in step 22 can be obtained by various methods such as being input by a user, acquired by a pre-installed program, and the like. For example, a recommendation string provided by a previously installed program may be acquired, or a string set to default may be obtained. The display control unit 140 may display the recommended character string or the default character string on the input window and display a cursor indicating the input position of the character string. The user can edit the recommended character string or the default character string.

In step 23, the input signal obtaining unit 120 obtains a first input signal input to the control pad.

In step 24, the input signal analyzing unit 130 controls the position of the cursor based on the first input signal obtained in step 23. More specifically, in step 24, the input signal analyzing unit 130 generates a control signal for controlling the position of the cursor based on the first input signal and transmits the control signal to the display control unit 140, The position of the cursor can be controlled according to the signal.

According to one embodiment, the first input signal obtained in step 23 may be a touch signal. According to an embodiment, the input signal analyzing unit 130 may control the position of the cursor based on the position at which the first input signal is input at step 24.

According to one embodiment, the input signal obtained in step 23 may be a drag signal that starts input at the first point and moves to the second point with the input maintained. According to one embodiment, in step 24, the input signal analyzing unit 130 may control the position of the cursor based on the first point and the second point. For example, in step 24, the input signal analyzing unit 130 may control the position of the cursor based on a position at which the first input signal is input from the time when the input of the first input signal is started until the time when the input ends. For example, the position of the cursor can be shifted corresponding to the movement of the first input signal. For example, the position of the cursor can be moved based on the moving distance of the first input signal. Here, the moving distance may be a concept of a displacement having a direction and a magnitude.

The movement of the cursor corresponding to the movement of the first input signal means that the relationship between the movement of the first input signal and the movement of the cursor is predefined and the input signal analysis unit 130 determines the movement of the first input signal, It means that the position of the cursor can be moved based on the predetermined relationship. For example, the cursor may be moved in the same direction as the movement direction of the first input signal, the cursor may be moved by the movement distance of the first input signal, or the cursor may be moved in proportion to the movement distance of the first input signal .

At this time, the input signal analyzing unit 130 moves the position of the cursor every time the movement distance of the first input signal is accumulated by the reference value, so that even if the first input signal continuously moves, the position of the cursor is discontinuously The position of the cursor can be controlled so as to be moved. The position of the cursor can be controlled in real time in accordance with the input of the first input signal.

3 is a flowchart showing a display control method according to another embodiment.

The flow chart shown in Fig. 3 consists of the steps processed in the display control apparatus 100 shown in Fig. Therefore, even though omitted from the following description, it can be seen that the above description regarding the configurations shown in FIG. 1 also applies to the flow chart shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 3, in step 31, the display control unit 140 of FIG. 2 displays an input window and a control pad. The input window is for displaying a character string, and the control pad is for controlling the position of a block for editing a character string.

In step 32, the character string acquisition unit 110 of FIG. 2 acquires a character string input to the input window. The string may be input from the user. The display control unit 140 displays a character string in the input window. The display control unit 140 may further display a block indicating the edit position of the character string, but according to an embodiment, the block may not be displayed in step 32. [

On the other hand, the character string obtained in step 32 can be obtained by various methods such as being input by a user, acquired by a pre-installed program, and the like. For example, a recommendation string provided by a previously installed program may be acquired, or a string set to default may be obtained. The display control unit 140 may display the recommended character string or the default character string on the input window and display a cursor indicating the input position of the character string. The user can edit the recommended character string or the default character string.

In step 33, the input signal obtaining unit 120 obtains a second input signal that is input to the control pad.

In step 34, the input signal analyzing unit 130 controls the display of the block for selecting at least some characters included in the character string or edits the character string based on the second input signal obtained in step 33.

According to one embodiment, the second input signal obtained at step 33 may be a drag signal that begins input at the first point and moves to the second point with the input maintained. According to one embodiment, in step 34, the input signal analyzing unit 130 may generate a signal that controls the display of the block based on the first point and the second point. For example, in step 34, the input signal analyzing unit 130 determines whether or not the display of the block is based on the position from when the input of the second input signal is started until the input of the second input signal is completed, Can be controlled in real time.

According to one embodiment, the second input signal obtained in step 33 may be a touch signal that touches at least one point of the control pad. According to one embodiment, in step 34, the input signal analyzing unit 130 may generate a signal for controlling the display of the block based on the input position of the second input signal.

In the foregoing, an embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. An embodiment for controlling the cursor in Fig. 2 may be referred to as a first mode, and an embodiment for controlling the block in Fig. 3 may be referred to as a second mode. The display control apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention operates in the first mode, operates in the second mode, operates to enable conversion between the first mode and the second mode, The first mode or the second mode, or the first mode and the second mode simultaneously.

The conversion between the first mode and the second mode can be performed, for example, by touching the side of the control pad or clicking a separate icon provided inside or outside the control pad.

The mode classification according to the analysis of the input signal may be, for example, a classification according to the type of the input signal. For example, the input signal may operate in different modes depending on whether it is a drag, a touch, a long tap, or the like. Alternatively, the mode classification according to the interpretation of the input signal may be, for example, a classification according to the input position of the input signal.

For example, when an identifier corresponding to each character of a character string is displayed on the control pad and the space between identifiers is matched with a cursor space between characters, the display control device 100 May be operated in a first mode when an input signal is input in a space between the identifiers and in a second mode when an input signal is input to the identifier.

When the first mode and the second mode are operated at the same time, for example, it may be a case of separating an area for moving the cursor from the control pad and an area for setting the block. At this time, the two regions do not necessarily have to be divided by dividing the control pad, and they may be designed in various ways.

4 to 8 show examples of screens displayed by the display control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. First, one embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 5.

Referring to FIG. 4, the area where the input signal is obtained at the control pad CP is matched to the cursor space at which the cursor 42 can be displayed. For example, the cursor space may be provided before and after the character string 41, and between characters included in the character string 41. [ Depending on the position at which the input signal is obtained at the control pad CP, the cursor 42 is controlled to be displayed in any one of the cursor spaces.

4, the first input signal 44 may be a drag signal that begins input at a first point 441 and moves to a second point 442 with the input maintained, and the first point 411 ) And the second point 442. In this case, The first input signal 44 can move in a first direction or in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and the moving distance of the first input signal has a directionality in the first direction or the second direction. In the example of FIG. 4, the first input signal 44 has moved in the second direction, so that the cursor 42 has also been moved in the second direction. The displacement of the cursor 42 corresponds to the travel distance of the first input signal 44. [ Here, the correspondence may be that the moving distance of the input signal and the moving distance of the cursor are absolutely corresponding, but they may be relatively corresponding. For example, the moving distance of the input signal may be designed to be relatively larger than the moving distance of the cursor, and in this case, the movement of the cursor can be precisely controlled. In the above-described embodiments of the present invention, the main body corresponding to each other is the movement distance of the input signal and the cursor displacement. However, according to another example, the position coordinates of the input signal and the position coordinates of the cursor correspond to each other It may be designed.

4, an identifier (not shown) may be displayed on the control pad CP at a position corresponding to the position of the cursor 42 on the control pad CP. The identifiers can move together in response to the movement of the first input signal 44. [ As the identifier, various icons such as an icon having the same shape as the cursor or a dot and an arrow capable of displaying a position can be used, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

For example, the user may touch the identifier on the control pad CP and input a first input signal to drag in the first direction or the second direction, at which point the cursor 42 is moved based on the first input signal And the identifier can also be moved based on the first input signal. The identifier can be moved in synchronization with the movement of the first input signal. The identifier can move in the first direction or the second direction in the same manner as the cursor 42. [ By displaying the identifier as described above, the user can intuitively recognize that the position of the cursor can be moved using the control pad.

The input signal analyzing unit 130 can control the display of the block 63 based on the position at which the second input signal is input. 6, the input signal analyzing unit 130 recognizes the identifier 622 selected by the second input signal and determines that the character 612 corresponding to the identifier 622 is selected by the block 63 Thereby controlling the position of the block 63.

6, the second input signal may be a drag signal that continuously selects a plurality of identifiers among the identifiers 62. In this case, The input signal analyzing unit 130 may analyze the second input signal and control the position of the block such that characters corresponding to the selected plurality of identifiers are selected by the block.

According to another example, the second input signal may be a multi-touch signal that simultaneously touches the first identifier and the last identifier of the identifiers to be selected so as to select all the identifiers of at least some consecutive ones of the identifiers 62. [ The input signal analyzing unit 130 may analyze the second input signal and may control the block position such that characters corresponding to the identifiers included between the two selected identifiers are selected by the block.

FIG. 7 shows another example in which a screen provided by the display control apparatus 100 according to an embodiment is displayed.

Referring to FIG. 7, the display control unit 140 according to an embodiment displays an input window W on which a character string 71 is displayed and a control pad CP for editing the character string 71 on the screen.

Referring to FIG. 7, the region where the input signal is obtained in the control pad CP is matched to the character string 71. The control pad CP displays an identifier 72 corresponding to each character included in the character string 71 in one-to-one correspondence. At least one of the color, the shape, and the interval between the identifiers 72 may be determined according to the type of the character corresponding to the identifier.

Referring to FIG. 7, the second input signal may be a drag signal for moving two identifiers 72 in a direction away from each other. The input signal analyzing unit 130 can generate a control signal for editing the character string 71 based on the second input signal. The generated control signal can be transmitted to the display control unit 140, and the display control unit 140 can control the display of the display unit based on the control signal. 7, the input signal analyzing unit 130 recognizes the two identifiers 721 and 722 and the drag direction selected by the second input signal, and recognizes the characters corresponding to the two identifiers 721 and 722 711, and 712, respectively. For example, a space 713 can be added between the characters 711 and 712.

FIG. 8 shows another example in which a screen provided by the display control apparatus 100 according to an embodiment is displayed.

Referring to FIG. 8, the region where the input signal is obtained in the control pad CP is matched to the character string 81. An identifier 82 corresponding to each character included in the character string 81 is displayed on the control pad CP.

Referring to FIG. 8, the second input signal may be a drag signal that pulls out one of the identifiers 82 out of the control pad CP in a selected state. For example, the second input signal may be a drag signal that moves while maintaining any of the identifiers 82 selected, and the touch state ends outside the control pad CP. The input signal analyzing unit 130 recognizes the identifier 821 selected by the second input signal and further recognizes the position in which the drag direction of the second input signal or the drag signal ends, The character 811 corresponding to the character 821 can be deleted.

In FIG. 8, the drag direction of the second input signal is shown as an upward direction, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and the drag direction of the second input signal may be variously set.

In the above-described embodiments of the present invention, when a character string input to the input window W is long and at least part of the character string is out of the screen, only the portion displayed on the screen can be matched with the control pad CP.

In the above-described embodiments of the present invention, the control pad CP is not normally displayed, but can be displayed on the screen only when the user inputs a character string into the input window W.

Meanwhile, the display control method according to an embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 described above can be implemented as a program that can be executed in a computer, and the program can be operated using a computer readable recording medium And can be implemented in a general-purpose digital computer. The computer-readable recording medium includes a storage medium such as a magnetic storage medium (e.g., ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, etc.), optical reading medium (e.g., CD ROM,

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a server for distributing a program capable of executing a display control method according to an embodiment of the present invention described above on a computer.

According to the embodiments of the present invention described above, it is possible to use a control pad separately provided without directly touching a character string in order to select a character string or move a cursor position. According to this, for example, since the cursor is not covered by the input means, for example, a finger or the like in the process of moving the position of the cursor, the user can conveniently confirm that the position of the cursor is moved. According to the embodiments of the present invention, when controlling the position of the cursor using the drag signal, the moving distance of the drag signal input to the control pad and the moving distance of the cursor may be the same, but may be proportional to each other, A wide control pad can be used to precisely control the position of the cursor.

According to the embodiments of the present invention described above, it is possible to conveniently input various commands for selecting or editing a character string using a separate control pad.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments, and that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the true scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical idea of the appended claims.
