The web server 300 may transmit a web page including a text input field such as a search window to the user terminal 200 and the interface provider 210 may display the corresponding web page through a web browser or the like.

A user inputs a predetermined text into a text input field through a keypad provided on the touch screen by the OS of the user terminal 200, a keypad provided by the interface providing unit 210, or a keypad separately provided from the touch screen .

The motion sensing unit 220 according to an embodiment of the present invention senses motion of a touch input means or a cursor generated in a text input field. As described above, the user terminal 200 may be a touch screen-based device, and the motion sensing unit 220 may sense the motion of the touch input means or the cursor in the text input field included in the currently provided interface .

The motion detection unit 220 detects a point at which a touch is first generated by the touch input means within the text input field, a movement of the touch input means while the touch state continues, and a point where the touch is interrupted. That is, the movement of the touch input means is detected from the first point to the second point in the text input field. Conventional methods can be used as a sensing method for generating a touch on the touch panel for the touch screen and its movement, and therefore, a detailed description thereof will be omitted here. Meanwhile, the motion sensing unit 220 may sense the position of the cursor and its movement.

The information sensed by the motion sensing unit 220, that is, the information about the touch generated by the touch input unit and the movement thereof, or the movement of the cursor may be used for implementing operations in the user terminal 200, Or may be transmitted to the Web server 300.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, if the movement of the touch input means or the cursor in the text input field coincides with the predetermined first movement direction and the first movement number, .

For example, when the touch input means or the cursor is detected to have moved twice from the first point to the second point within the text input field, such motion can be recognized as motion for text deletion.

Here, the movement from the first point to the second point can be determined according to the direction in which the text is input. For example, the movement from the first point to the second point may be left-to-right or vice versa if the text is input from left to right in a text input field provided in the lateral direction. Further, if the text is input in the vertical direction in the text input field provided in the longitudinal direction, the movement from the first point to the second point may be up or down or vice versa. Further, when there is a predetermined direction, the text deletion operation can be performed when it is recognized that the movement does not exactly coincide with the corresponding direction, but is substantially moved in that direction. That is, a certain degree of error can be tolerated.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, if the movement of the touch input means or the cursor in the text input field coincides with the predetermined second movement direction and the second movement number, the text deleted in the text input field is restored It can be recognized by command to ask.

For example, when the touch input means or the cursor is detected as a single movement in a direction opposite to the text input direction (for example, from the right to the left direction) within the text input field, It can be recognized as a motion.

Only the moving direction and the number of times of motion for restoration of the deleted text can be set. That is, it may not be set for the start and end points of movement, and may be determined as a motion for restoration of recently deleted text as long as the corresponding motion occurs in the text field. Also, if the motion is taken consecutively, the previously deleted text may also be set to be restored. Also, it may be set that the corresponding motion should be taken at the portion where the deleted text is inputted. On the other hand, only the motion occurring within a predetermined time after the text is deleted in the text input field may be determined as a text restoration motion.

The definition of motion for text deletion or restoration may be made by the user, but it may also be set basically by the OS of the user terminal 200 or by a specific application. If a motion for text deletion or restoration in a text input field is set to be moved a plurality of times in a specific movement direction, a maximum value (e.g., a time difference exceeding a maximum value) (For example, when the moving speed of the touch input means is not higher than a predetermined speed, it is not recognized as a motion for text deletion), or the like may be set. The motion comparison / determination unit 230 may store the motion of the touch input means or the cursor sensed by the motion sensing unit 220 and store the motion of the cursor in the memory 260 or in a separate database. It is possible to compare the setting information and determine whether the currently generated motion is a motion for data deletion or a motion for data restoration. It is a moron that a direction or a number of times other than the illustrated direction and the number of times can be set as a motion for text restoration.

When the motion generated by the current user is determined as a motion for text deletion by the motion comparison / determination unit 230, the text deletion unit 240 deletes the text input in the text input field.

3, when the " Choi Byung-Chul Foil "is inputted to the text input field, the motion detection unit 220 detects the touch input means or movement of the cursor from the" If this motion is determined by the motion comparison / determination unit 230 as a delete motion for the text between the motion start point and the end point, "Choi Byung Chul" is deleted in the text input field, do.

Referring again to FIG. 2, when the motion generated by the current user is determined as a motion for text restoration by the motion comparison / determination unit 230, the text restoration unit 250 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention re- Restore the deleted text.

After inputting into the text input field, the information about the deleted text may be stored in the memory unit 260 for a certain period of time. At this time, the user can take a predetermined motion in the text input field using the touch input means or the cursor, and the text deleted and stored temporarily in the memory unit 260 can be restored.

For example, after the "Choi Byung-chul" of "Choi Byung-chul Flet's" as shown in Fig. 3 is deleted, motion of a preset number of times (for example, one time) If the motion is detected by the motion detection unit 220 and the motion is determined by the motion comparison / determination unit 230 as a restoration motion for the erased text, the "Choi Byung Chul ", which is recently deleted and stored in the memory unit 260, Can be restored.
