The present disclosure relates to an application providing a document editing tool and a terminal capable of driving the application. The document editing tool described in this disclosure sets a trigger area in a document and plays a role of linking the content to the trigger area. When the user input for selecting the trigger area is received after the document editing is completed, the content associated with the trigger area can be output. Hereinafter, a terminal capable of driving a document editing tool and an application supporting the document editing tool according to the present invention will be described in detail.

1 is a block diagram of a terminal according to the present invention. The terminal described in the present invention may be a mobile terminal such as a smart phone, a tablet PC, a laptop or a PDA, or a fixed terminal such as a PC (personal computer) or a smart TV have. However, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the terminal is a mobile terminal in the following figures and embodiments.

1, a terminal according to the present invention includes a communication unit 110, a camera 120, a microphone 130, a user input unit 140, a display unit 150, a sound output unit 160, a memory 170, And a control unit 180.

The communication unit 110 enables the terminal to communicate with another terminal. The communication unit 110 may perform communication in a wireless manner or may perform communication in a wired manner. For example, in order to perform communication in a wireless manner, the communication unit 110 may include at least one of a mobile communication module or a wireless Internet module. The mobile communication module is for performing communication through a mobile communication base station such as LTE, HSDPA or CDMA, and the wireless Internet module is for performing communication through a wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) or the like. The wired method may include LAN, USB, HDMI, RGB or DVI.

The camera 120 plays a role of receiving an output signal, and the microphone 130 receives an audio signal.

The user input unit 140 plays a role of receiving a user input. The user input unit 140 may include at least one of a button-shaped input unit displayed on the outside of the terminal and a touch input unit capable of receiving a touch input for touching the display unit 150. The touch input unit may include at least one or more touch sensors. In this case, when the display unit 150 and the touch input unit have a mutual layer structure, this structure can be called a 'touch screen'. In such a touch screen structure, various types of touch input can be received by selecting or dragging objects displayed on the touch screen using a pointer.

The user input 140 may include at least one motion sensor for receiving the gesture input. At this time, the motion sensor may include a gyro sensor or an acceleration sensor capable of sensing movement of the terminal. In another example, the controller 180 may analyze the image input through the camera 120 to determine whether a gesture input has been received based on whether the user has taken a particular gesture.

In the following embodiments, an example in which the terminal operates based on various user inputs through the touch screen will be described. However, the touch input of the embodiments to be described later may be replaced with an input or a gesture input touching (or pushing) a button exposed to the outside of the terminal.

The display unit 150 outputs information processed in the terminal. For example, the display unit 150 outputs an execution screen of an application running on the terminal, a user interface on the execution screen, or a graphic user interface.

The sound output unit 160 plays a role of outputting audio data received from the communication unit 110 or stored in the memory 170.

The memory 170 stores data for application execution and data processed at the terminal. The memory 170 may be a hard disk, a solid state disk (SSD), a flash memory 170, a card type storage device (for example, SD or XD memory 170) ) Or a read only memory (ROM). Web storage that can be remotely accessed through the communication unit 110 may also be included in the category of the memory 170. [

The controller 180 controls the overall operation of the terminal. The control unit 180 may process signals, data, information, and the like that are input or output through the constituent elements of the terminal. In addition, the control unit 180 can execute the application stored in the memory 170. [ The control unit 180 may include an arithmetic / control unit such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphic Processing Unit), an MCU (Micro Controller Unit), or an MPU (Micro Processing Unit).

The terminal does not have to include all of the components shown in FIG. 1, and some of the components shown in FIG. 1 may not be included, depending on the implementation. The present invention will be described in detail based on the above description.

The document described in the present invention includes not only a document generated through a word processor but also an image or an electronic book. For example, the document may be a presentation document (e.g., a file having an extension of ppt (x)), a spreadsheet document (e.g., a file having an extension of xsl (A file having an extension of doc (x), hwp or pdf), an image (a file having an extension of jpg, gif, tif or bmp) or an electronic book can do. In addition to the listed examples, data formats that can be processed by a terminal may be included in the category of documents described in the present invention.

When the document includes a plurality of pages, the editing of the document can be effectively applied to at least one or more pages included in the document.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an editing process of a document according to the present invention. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a content output process using a trigger area of the edited document.

When the document is composed of a plurality of pages, the editing of the document can be effectively applied to at least one or more pages constituting the document. For example, the setting of the trigger area and the content output area to be described in the following embodiments may be applied to any one of a plurality of pages constituting a document, or may be applied to a part of a plurality of pages constituting a document . However, for convenience of explanation, in the following embodiments, it is assumed that editing of a document is applied to only one of a plurality of pages constituting a document.

When the application is executed, the document can be selected by the user or automatically (S201, S301). When a document is selected, the control unit 180 executes the selected document and controls the selected document to be displayed. At this time, a specific page of the document may be output to the display unit 150. [ Here, a specific page of the document is a page in which the first page of the document, the first page in which the trigger area is set, the page that was last displayed when the last document was executed or the last document was executed, Page, < / RTI >

The terminal may be placed in either the edit mode or the viewer mode. The editing mode indicates a state in which a document can be added or changed with respect to the trigger area. In the viewer mode, when a user input for selecting a trigger area set in the document is received while a document is output, The content associated with the content can be output. Fig. 2 shows the operation when the terminal is put into the edit mode, and Fig. 3 shows the operation when the terminal is put into the viewer mode.

When entering a edit mode while a specific page of a document is being output, this indicates that the setting relating to the trigger area can be added or changed on a specific page. On the other hand, when entering a viewer mode while a specific page of a document is being output, this indicates that the content associated with the trigger area can be output using the trigger area inserted in a specific page.

The switching between the editing mode and the viewer mode can be switched by a predetermined user input. Here, the predetermined user input may be an input for touching a button for entering an editing mode or a viewer mode, a touch input having a predetermined pattern, a gesture input, or the like. For example, while operating under an editable edit mode of a document, if a user input for starting a slide show is received, the edit mode may be terminated and the viewer mode may be executed. Or if a user input for ending the slide show is received while the slide show is in progress, the viewer mode may be terminated and the edit mode may be executed.

Hereinafter, the operation of the terminal in the edit mode and the viewer mode will be described in detail.

Prior to setting the trigger area, the controller 180 can specify the content to be linked to the trigger area (S202).

For example, FIG. 4 shows an example of selecting content to be linked to a trigger area.

The control unit 180 may control the output of a menu to select the content to be linked to the trigger area in response to the user input received while the document is output.

For example, when a user input that touches an arbitrary position of a document is received, or when a control menu for selecting the content is selected, the control unit 180 determines whether the user wants to link to the trigger area So that the menu 410 for selecting the content can be displayed.

The content that may be associated with the trigger area may include images, movies, music, documents, websites, or specific pages within a document. As an example, through the menu, an image file stored in the memory 170 may be selected or an image file to be linked to the trigger area may be selected by taking a picture through the camera 120. For example, the first to sixth items of the menu may be for selecting images, movies, music, documents, websites, or specific pages in a document, respectively.

A moving picture file stored in the memory 170 may be selected through the menu or a moving picture file to be linked to the trigger area may be selected by photographing the moving picture through the camera 120. [ For example, a music file stored in the memory 170 may be selected through the menu, or a music file to be linked to the trigger area may be selected by recording a music file through the microphone 130. As an example, a document file to be linked to the trigger area can be selected by selecting a document file stored in the memory 170 via the menu. For example, by specifying an IP (Internet Protocol) address or a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) address through the menu, a web site to be linked to the trigger area can be specified. For example, a specific page in the document may be selected through the menu or a page number identifying the specific page may be input, thereby specifying a specific page in the document to be linked to the trigger area.

When a content to be linked to the trigger area is selected, a graphic object for setting a trigger area in the document can be output. The position and size of the trigger area may be changed according to the position and size of the graphic object (S203).

For example, FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example in which the position and size of a trigger area are adjusted through a graphic object. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the left drawing shows an example of setting a trigger area in a document under the edit mode, and the right drawing shows an example in which the trigger area inserted in the document is identified and displayed when the editing mode ends. 5, the outline of the dotted line represents the position or size of the previous graphic object, and the outline of the dotted line in the right drawing of FIG. 5 represents the trigger area.

If the content to be linked is specified in the trigger area 520 in the edit mode, the control unit 180 controls the graphic object 510 to set the trigger area 520, as in the example shown in FIG. 5 (a) ) Can be controlled to be outputted. Graphics object 510 may include a preview image of the content associated with trigger area 520, as in the example shown in FIG. 5 (a). The form of the graphic object 510 is not limited to the example shown in Fig. 5 (a). In one example, the graphical object 510 may include a picture for identifying the type of content associated with the trigger area 520, or a polygonal picture for visually identifying the trigger area.

The location and size of the graphic object 510 may correspond to the location and size of the trigger area 520. In one example, when the position of the graphic object 510 changes, as in the example shown in FIG. 5B, the position of the trigger area 520 along the changed position of the graphic object 510 may also be changed have. 5 (b), if the upper left coordinate of the graphic object 510 is changed from (x1, y1) to (x2, y2), the coordinate (x1, y1) (x2, y2).

The size of the trigger area 520 may be changed in accordance with the changed size of the graphic object 510 when the size of the graphic object 510 is changed as in the example shown in FIG. For example, in FIG. 4C, if the horizontal length and the vertical length of the graphic object 510 are changed by? W and? H, respectively, the size of the trigger area 520 can also be changed by? W and? H have.

If the user input for selecting the trigger area inserted in the document is received after the edit mode is terminated and the viewer mode is switched (S302), the control unit 180 determines whether the content associated with the trigger area is output (S303).

For example, FIG. 6 shows an example in which content linked to a trigger area is output.

For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that two trigger areas are set in the document, and that the position and size of each trigger area are the same as the example shown in Fig. 6 (a). It is also assumed that the first trigger area 610 of the two trigger areas is associated with the first image 615 and the second trigger area 620 is associated with the second image 625.

When switched to viewer mode, the trigger area can be placed in a hidden state. Here, the hidden state means a state in which the trigger region is transparent so that the user can not visually identify the trigger region. That is, when the terminal is placed under the edit mode, the trigger area is a state that the user can visually identify by the graphic object. On the other hand, if the terminal is placed in the viewer mode, the trigger area is in a state that the user can not visually identify . However, for the sake of convenience of explanation, the trigger area is to be distinguished and displayed as a dotted line as necessary in the drawings described above or in the drawings described later.

When the user input for selecting the trigger area is received, the control unit 180 can control the output of the content linked to the trigger area in response to the user input. For example, if the user's touch point is included in the trigger area and the image is linked to the touched trigger area, the control unit 180 can control the image to be output in response to the user input touching the trigger area . Accordingly, when a user input touching the first trigger area 610 is received, the controller 180 controls the first image 615 to be output as in the example shown in FIG. 6B . On the other hand, when a user input touching the second trigger area 620 is received, the controller 180 may control the second image 620 to be output as in the example shown in FIG. 6C .

Although not shown, if the moving image is linked to the trigger area, the controller 180 can reproduce and output the moving image in response to the user input that touches the trigger area. Alternatively, if the music is linked to the trigger area, the controller 180 can reproduce and output the music in response to the user input touching the trigger area. Alternatively, if the web site is associated with the trigger area, the control unit 180 may output a screen linked to the web site in response to the user input that touches the trigger area. Alternatively, if a specific page in the document is associated with the trigger area, the control unit 180 may control to output a specific page in response to a user input that touches the trigger area.

As in the example shown in FIGS. 6 (b) and 6 (c), when a user input for selecting a trigger area is received, the control unit 180 may output the image as a full screen or a partial screen. Here, the fact that the image is output to the partial screen means that the image is overlaid on an area overlapping with a partial area of the document.

As in the example shown in FIG. 6 (b), when an image linked to the trigger area is to be output in full screen, it is not necessary to specify the output position of the image separately. However, in the case of outputting an image as a partial screen, as in the example shown in Fig. 6C, it is necessary to set the image output area separately from the trigger area. Accordingly, in the viewer mode, when it is desired to output an image as a partial screen, it is necessary to separately set an area to output an image under the edit mode.

This may be true not only for images but also for content that can be visually identified by the user in association with the trigger area. Here, the content that can be visually identified by the user may include an image, a moving image, a document, a web site, or a specific page in a document.

Hereinafter, an example of setting the content output area under the edit mode will be described in detail.

The setting of the output area of the content may be independent of the setting of the trigger area, or may be dependent on the setting of the trigger area. When the setting of the content output area is dependent on the setting of the trigger area, the position or size change of the content output area can be determined depending on the position or size change of the trigger area.

For example, FIG. 7 shows a case where the setting of the content output area has a relation independent of the setting of the trigger area. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the left drawing shows an example of setting the trigger area and the content output area under the editing mode, and the right drawing shows the trigger area and the content output area inserted in the document when the editing mode ends, It is an example.

The control unit 180 can set whether to output the content linked to the trigger area in the full screen or the partial screen, based on the user input. In the case where the content linked to the trigger area is set to be output in full screen, only the graphic object 710 for setting the trigger area can be output, as in the example shown in Fig. 7 (a). At this time, the graphic object 710 may include a preview image of the content associated with the trigger area, as in the example shown in Fig. 7 (a). However, the shape of the graphic object is not limited to the example shown in Fig. 7 (a). For example, the graphic object may be implemented in various forms including a picture for identifying the type of content associated with the graphic trigger area, or a polygonal picture for visually identifying the trigger area.

A graphical object 720 for setting a trigger area or a content output area may additionally be output separately from the existing graphic object 710 when the content associated with the trigger area is set to be output as a partial screen. For example, in FIG. 7B, a graphic object 720 including a picture for identifying the type of content is additionally output in addition to the graphic object 710 including the preview image of the existing content. .

The existing graphical object 710 is used to set either the trigger area and the content output area and the newly added graphical object 720 can be used to set the other of the trigger area and the content output area. In the present embodiment, the graphic object used for setting the trigger area is referred to as a first graphic object, and the graphic object used for setting the content output area is referred to as a second graphic object. In FIG. 7B, it is assumed that the newly introduced graphic object 720 is the first graphic object, and the existing graphic object 710 is the second graphic object.

The control unit 180 may set a trigger area based on the position and size of the first graphic object and set a content output area based on the position and size of the second graphic object. At this time, the repositioning or resizing of the first graphic object has no effect on the second graphic object, and the repositioning or resizing of the second graphic object also has no effect on the first graphic object.

7C, changing the position of the first graphic object corresponds to changing the position of the trigger area 730, and changing the size of the second graphic object corresponds to changing the position of the content area < RTI ID = 0.0 > 740). ≪ / RTI >

The trigger area and the content output area are set by independently controlling the first graphic object and the second graphic object, and the setting of the content output area may be considered to be independent of the setting of the trigger area.

8 is a diagram showing an example in which the setting of the content output area is in a dependent relationship with the setting of the trigger area.

It is assumed that the trigger area 830 is set by the first graphic object 820 and the content output area 840 is set by the second graphic object 810. [

If the content output area is dependent on the trigger area, changing the position of either the first graphic object or the second graphic object may also affect the other.

As an example, when the position of the first graphic object 820 is changed by (x, y), as in the example shown in Figs. 8A and 8B, the second graphic object 810, (X, y). Accordingly, the position of the content output area 840 can be changed as much as the position of the trigger area 830 is changed.

In addition, changing the size of one of the first graphic object 820 or the second graphic object 810 may affect the other. As an example, when the size of the first graphic object 820 is changed by (? W,? H), the size of the second graphic object 810 ( DELTA w, DELTA h).

Or the size of the first graphic object 820 and the size of the second graphic object 810 when the size of the first graphic object 820 is changed by (? W,? H) Based on the ratio value, the size of the second graphic object 810 may change. For example, when the size of the second graphic object 810 is twice the size of the first graphic object 820 and the size of the first graphic object 820 is changed by (? W,? H) 2 The size of the object 810 can be changed by (2? W, 2? H).

Since the position or size of the second graphic object is changed depending on the position or size of the first graphic object, the setting of the content output area may be considered to be dependent on the setting of the trigger area.

Whether to set the content output area dependent on the trigger area or independently can be changed by user setting. Accordingly, the control unit 180 can determine whether to change the setting of the content output area according to the setting change of the trigger area, depending on whether the content output area is set depending on the trigger area or not.

When the setting of the trigger area and the content output area is completed and the editing mode ends, the control unit 180 can output the content according to the setting of the content output area in response to the user input touching the trigger area.

For example, FIG. 9 shows an example in which content is output through a content output area. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the trigger area 910 and the content output area 920 are as shown in Fig. 9 (a).

When a user input touching the trigger area 910 is received, the controller 180 may output the content associated with the trigger area in response to the user input. At this time, the controller 180 may control the content 930 to be output according to the position of the content output area 920 and the size of the content output area 920, as in the example shown in FIG. have.

When outputting the content according to the content output area, if the size of the content output area is small, the content also has to be output in a small size. In order to prevent the size of the content from becoming excessively small, the size of the content output area may not be set to a predetermined size or less.

For example, in the example shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, even when a user input for setting a second graphic object to a predetermined size or less is received, the controller 180 determines whether the second graphic object is a predetermined size Can be prevented from being set. Or the second graphic object is set to a predetermined size or less, the control unit 180 can control the content output area corresponding to the second graphic object to be not less than a predetermined size.

The control unit 180 may set the aspect ratio of the content output area to match the aspect ratio of the content in order to reduce the content distortion that occurs as the size of the content output area is inconsistent with the aspect ratio or resolution of the content.

For example, in the example shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, when the horizontal size of the second graphic object is changed, the vertical size of the second graphic object may be changed in accordance with the content aspect ratio. When the horizontal size and vertical size of the second graphic object are changed at the same time, the size of the second graphic object may be changed according to the content aspect ratio based on either the horizontal or vertical. At this time, the reference value may be any one of the horizontal and vertical defaults, or the horizontal and vertical variation may be large.

If the aspect ratio of the content associated with the trigger area and the aspect ratio of the content output area have opposite relationships, the control unit 180 may rotate the content and output the content to the content output area. Here, when the aspect ratio is opposite, the content output area is longer than the horizontal length, or the content is longer than the horizontal length, whereas the content is larger in width than the vertical length, And the horizontal length is larger than the vertical length.

In one example, Fig. 10 shows an example in which the content is rotated output.

For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the original content associated with the trigger area 1010, as in the example shown in FIG. 10A, is an image 1030 whose width is longer than the vertical length. In addition, it is assumed that the content output area 1020 is longer than the horizontal length.

In the viewer mode, when a user input that touches the trigger area 1010 is received, the controller 180 can control the output of the content associated with the trigger area through the content output area 1020. [ At this time, since the aspect ratio of the content and the aspect ratio of the content output area 1020 are inversely related to each other, the control unit 180 determines whether the content 1030 is rotated 90 degrees, as in the example shown in FIG. It can be controlled so as to be output in one state.

At this time, whether to rotate the content clockwise or counterclockwise may be adjusted by user setting.

When a user input that touches the trigger area or the content associated with the content is received while the content is being output, the output of the content may be interrupted.

For example, FIG. 11 shows an example in which the output of the content is interrupted.

For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the trigger area 1110 and the content output area 1120 are in the state shown in Fig. 11 (a). It is assumed that the content 1130 associated with the trigger area 1110 is an image. A user who touches the trigger area 1110 or the image 1130 (i.e., the content output area 1120) associated with the image while the image 1130 associated with the trigger area 1110 is being output, When an input is received, the control unit 180 may control the output of the image 1130 to be interrupted as in the example shown in FIG. 11 (b).

As another example, the control unit 180 may stop the output of the content when the predetermined time has elapsed since the content was output. Here, the preset time can be adjusted according to the user setting.

As another example, when the first content associated with the first trigger area is being output, and the user input for selecting the second trigger area associated with the second content is received, the controller 180 outputs the first content And control so that the second content is output.

As another example, when the first content associated with the first trigger area is being output, and the user input for selecting the second trigger area associated with the second content is received, the control unit 180 determines that the first content and the second The output of the first content may be discontinued depending on whether or not the output area of the content is overlapped. For example, when the output area of the second content overlaps with the output area of the first content, the controller 180 stops outputting the first content in response to the user input selecting the second trigger area, 2 content can be output. Alternatively, when the output area of the second content does not overlap with the output area of the first content, the controller 180 controls the output of the second content in response to the user input that selects the second trigger area while maintaining the output of the first content. The content can be controlled so as to be further output.

Under the edit mode, a plurality of trigger areas can be set in a document (preferably a specific page of the document). At this time, the controller 180 may control the plurality of trigger areas so that they do not overlap each other. When setting the first trigger area and the second trigger area in the document, the controller 180 may control the first trigger area and the second trigger area so that they do not overlap each other.

As another example, the control unit 180 may allow a plurality of trigger regions to overlap each other. In this case, when a position where two or more trigger regions overlap each other is selected by user input, the content linked to each of the plurality of trigger regions including the selected position is simultaneously output, or the content associated with each of the plurality of trigger regions is sequentially Can be output.

For example, FIG. 12 shows an example of a case where trigger areas overlap.

For convenience of explanation, the document includes two trigger regions (first trigger region 1210 and second trigger region 1220) overlapping a certain portion, as in the example shown in Fig. 12 (a) .

When the user input that touches the overlapping position of the first trigger area 1210 and the second trigger area 1220 is received, the controller 180 controls the first trigger area 1210 and the second trigger area 1220, The first content 1215 associated with the trigger area 1210 and the second content 1225 associated with the second trigger area 1220 can be simultaneously output.

As another example, the controller 180 first outputs the first content 1215 associated with the first trigger area 1210, as in the example shown in (c) of FIG. 12, The second content 1225 associated with the second trigger area 1220 may be output. In the example shown in FIG. 12C, although the output of the first content 1215 is shown as being interrupted as the second content 1225 is output, while the output of the first content 1215 is maintained, The second content 1225 may be newly output.

In the above-described embodiments, it is exemplified that the trigger area or the content output area can be set using the graphic object. However, the setting of the trigger area or the content output area does not necessarily have to be done through the graphic object.

The trigger area or the content output area can be set through predetermined user input. For example, when the terminal is in the editing mode and the pointer of the pointer for touching and dragging the touch screen has a polygonal shape, the controller 180 sets the trigger area or the content output area in accordance with the trajectory of the drag movement of the pointer . Alternatively, the trigger area or the content output area may be set by a menu (for example, a numerical value input menu) for specifying the position or size of the trigger area or the content output area. As such, the setting of the trigger area or the content output area can be accomplished by various methods that can be devised by those skilled in the art that are not described in the present disclosure.

In the above-described embodiments, when the terminal operates in the viewer mode, the trigger area is described as being in the hidden state. However, when the trigger area is set in a hidden state, the trigger area can be appropriately selected only if the user knows the preset trigger area. Accordingly, if the user does not know the position of the trigger area correctly, there may arise a problem that the trigger area inserted in the document can not be used properly.

In order to solve such a problem, the controller 180 can control the trigger area to be visually identified and displayed even when the terminal operates in the viewer mode, when a preset user input is received. For example, when the preset user input is received, the control unit 180 may display an outline of the trigger area or control the trigger area to be displayed in a translucent state.

As another example, an example will be described in which the terminal is connected to a separate display device, and the display device is set to output a document stored in the terminal (for example, a mirroring state). In this case, the control unit 180 controls the trigger area to be hidden through the display device, and controls the trigger area to be visually identified and displayed through the terminal. Specifically, when the terminal is connected to a display device such as a projector, a smart TV, or a monitor, the trigger area is visually prevented from being exposed through the display device, while a trigger area is displayed can do.
