3 is a diagram illustrating a block diagram of a portable smart phone.

In the drawing, the central processing unit 20 is a control means for controlling the overall operation of a portable smart phone (a portable display device, a smart phone, or a computer in general) used in an embodiment of the present invention. Further, the ROM 21a present in the memory unit 21 (or 21a, 21b, 21c) controls the execution program of the display device, and the RAM 21b stores data generated when the program is executed, and the EPROM (21c) stores the data required by the user and the data necessary to process it.

Meanwhile, the portable smart phone of the present invention may include a portable display device, a smart phone, a tablet, and the like.

4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a typical input device and an input device driving unit.

It is a diagram simply showing a cross-sectional view of an input device, (A) is a diagram showing a capacitive method, (B) is a diagram showing a resistive film method.

That is, in FIG. (A), an electrode plate 29a coated with a transparent electrode is provided under the protective plate 28a, and the electrode plate 29a is composed of one or two films coated with a transparent electrode.

In addition, in Figure (B), two films 29a and 29b coated with a transparent electrode on the upper portion of the protective plate 28a are provided to face each other while maintaining a constant distance, and the input device 28, 28 ) An external protective plate (or decorative plate) 28b may be further provided at the upper end. And a desired pattern of coating is made on the protection plate 28b.

And, Figure 4 shows an example of the input device 28 that is commonly used a lot, the present invention is not the invention of the input device (28). Accordingly, a conventional input device 28 capable of inputting information on a display is applicable to the present invention.

In this case, “on the display” means that information can be input without applying pressure or contact to the display surface.

Also, the embodiment of the present invention may be applied to a device in which an input device element and a display are integrated.

On the other hand, if information can be input by discriminating a step even through a change in an image or a change in an operation, it can be applied to an embodiment of the present invention.

(C) is a diagram of an embodiment showing an input device driving unit. Figure (C) is only one embodiment, in the present invention, any input device driving unit can be used.

The touch input driving unit 50 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a calibration function performing unit 51 , an average value detection frequency adjustment unit 52 , an average value detection unit 43 , a panel signal generator 54 , and the like.

And, the input device driving unit of the present invention is only one embodiment, and it can be said that the conventional input device driving unit is included in the configuration of the present invention.

The calibration function performing unit 51 calibrates the coordinate values of the touch input unit 72 when the device is first operated. According to this calibration function, a panel signal corresponding to the coordinate value of the actual position touched by the touch input unit 72 is selected. That is, the signal of the touch input unit 72 corresponding to the coordinate value is selected according to the resolution of the touch display 74 , and the selected signal is provided to the controller 30 .

Accordingly, the controller 30 stores and manages the coordinate values corresponding to the panel signals. The average number of detections adjustment unit 52 adjusts the average number of detections for the panel signal output from the touch input unit 72 based on the screen resolution information of the touch display 74 provided from the control unit 30 . When the screen resolution is changed to a high resolution, the average number of detections is adjusted to be larger than the previously set value. Conversely, if the screen resolution is changed to a lower resolution, the average number of detections is adjusted to be smaller than the previously set value.

The average value detection unit 53 detects an average value of the panel signal transmitted from the touch input unit 72 based on the average value detection number adjusted by the average value detection number adjustment unit 52 . The average value detection unit 53 transmits the detected average value to the panel signal generation unit 54 .

The panel signal generator 54 generates a panel signal by using the changed screen resolution of the touch display 74 provided from the controller 30 or position information of the display screen changed by virtual scrolling and the average value of the currently input panel signal. do.

The touch input driving unit 50 configured as described above detects the location information of the touch point consecutively a predetermined number of times when the user touches it using two fingers or one finger or any manipulation means, and then calculates the average value of the values. It is output as the final location information.

Fig. 5 is a diagram of an embodiment of executing a manipulation command of a step through an input device.

As in the embodiment of Fig. 5, a small bar on the display 30 or a finger is used to command the operation of the step,

That is, the information displayed on the display is selected through the input device 28 to input the operation command of the step. As shown in FIG. 5 , using two fingers (or bars), the operation command of the step is executed by reducing or increasing the distance between the points (points) selected by the two fingers.

Fig. 6 is a diagram of another embodiment of executing a manipulation command of a step through an input device.

As shown in FIG. 6 , by using a finger (or a bar), the upper end of the display 30 is selected in the smartphone 110, and the length of the selected and maintained time is adjusted, thereby executing the operation command of the step.

For example, an area within the display 30 in which a stepwise manipulation command is possible is referred to as a selection area 32 , and the selection area 32 occupies a part of the entire area of the display 30 . Then, the selection area 32 is selected using a finger (or a bar), and the length of time maintained after selection is adjusted, thereby executing the operation command of the step.

At this time, the selection means that a finger (or a bar) is in contact with the display 30 using the finger. And since the input device 28 is substantially on the display 30 , touching the display 30 is touching the input device 28 . Of course, the method of contact may not necessarily be used depending on the type of the input device.

On the other hand, in the present invention, if the step can be determined, various methods other than the moving distance and the length of the maintained time can be used.

That is, by tapping on the display 30 or the selected area, the steps may be divided by numbers, or the steps may be divided into steps according to the shape of a finger image by determining an image.

- Step moving example in time -

1) The stage is determined by the maintained time value.

For example, if it is maintained for 0.5 seconds, it moves by 1 step, if it is maintained for 1 second, it moves by 2 steps, and if it is maintained for 1.5 seconds, it moves by 2 steps.

2) The maintained time value becomes the boundary of the step movement.

For example, if it is maintained for less than 0.5 seconds, it moves by 1 step, and if it is maintained for more than 0.5 seconds, it moves by 2 steps. If it stays under 1 second, it moves by 2 steps, if it stays over 1 second, it moves by 3 steps.

That is, if it is maintained below the predetermined time T value, it is moved by J, and when it is moved more than the predetermined time T value, it is moved by J+1. Alternatively, if the value is maintained at or below the predetermined time T1 value, the movement is moved by J steps, and when the predetermined time T1 value or more is moved below the predetermined time T2 value, the movement is moved by J+1 steps. (Where J is 1 or more and K-1 or less, and K is the value of the highest level.)

Fig. 7 is a diagram of an embodiment for explaining the operation instruction of the distance step.

An operation command for determining two points by two fingers (or two bars), dividing the moving distance moved by the point into steps, and recognizing commands according to each step is a "step operation command". And, when the operation command of the step is executed, information corresponding to each step is displayed on the screen of the smartphone display 30 . The step is a limited number N of at least two steps or three or more steps. Too many is not good, so 10 or 5 levels or less is appropriate.

Also, the steps are summarized as follows.

1) Steps are determined like step 1, step 2, step 3, and step N, and the distance recognized as one step or the duration of time is predetermined.

2) The maximum number of steps that can be recognized is predetermined. The maximum distance (or time) that can be recognized is also predetermined.

The operation command in step 3) has a + direction and in some cases a - direction.

When executing the operation instruction of step 4), there is a margin of error.

5) At each stage, there is information corresponding to each stage.

Referring to FIG. 7, guide lines 50 and 51, which are movement paths between two points, are indicated, and as in FIG. ) is indicated. (In Fig. (B), the steps are "(51a), (51b), (51c), (51d), and (51e)", respectively)

At this time, in the case of Figure (A) where the distance between the two selected points is close,

Step 1 is "50a", Step 2 is "50b", Step 3 is "50c", Step 4 is "50d", Step 5 is "50e",

Even in the case of Fig. (B) where the distance between the two selected points increases,

Stage 1 "51a", stage 2 "51b", stage 3 "51c", stage 4 "51d", stage 5 "51e".

And, if the distance for moving one step is set in advance to 10mm, if the step is moved by 20mm by the operation command, it becomes a two-step movement, and since the entire step exists up to five steps, the maximum moving distance is 50mm.

Of course, the distance is not necessarily the same for each step. For example, the distance from step 1 to step 2 may be 10 mm, and the distance from step 2 to step 3 may be 12 mm. It's just that the step distance is predetermined.

In addition, the distance for each step can also be variably changed when executing the program by setting an algorithm. For example, although the movement distance of steps 1 to 2 is 10 mm, the movement distance of the step is manually or automatically 12 before the operation command of the step. It can be converted to mm.

And, when the two points (points) selected through the input device are close to each other, it moves - (minus), and when it moves away, it becomes a + (plus) move. (Conversely, if you get closer, you can set + move, and if you get farther away, you can set it as - move.)

Accordingly, in the example of FIG. 7A , if the movement in one step is 10 mm and the movement is 20 mm, the movement is in the - direction by two steps. In addition, in the example of FIG. 7B , when the movement in one step is 10 mm and the movement is 20 mm, the movement is in the + direction by two steps.

On the other hand, as in item 4), it is natural that an error range may exist in the operation command of the step of the present invention. If it moves 13mm, it can be judged as 1st step, and when it moves 18mm, it can be judged as 2nd step. Just like in mathematics, the concept of rounding off and rounding off can determine the error range according to the execution of the operation command of the step.

In addition, in the present invention, when the operation command of the step is to be executed, as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 6 , the guide lines 50 and 51 marked with the step scale can be displayed on the display 30 screen.

In the present invention, the "guide lines 50 and 52" are one method for conveniently executing the operation command of each step, the distance and direction of each step are displayed on the display screen. Of course, the guide lines 50 and 52 are not necessarily marked,

As such a guide line is displayed, it is possible to visually provide information about the moving distance of each step. That is, by moving as much as the scale indicated by the guide lines 51 and 52, the operation command of a desired step can be performed.

In FIG. 7, step-by-step correspondence information is "(50a-1), (50b-1), (50c-1), (50d-1), and (50e-1)" and "(51a-1), (51b- 1), (51c-1), (51d-1), and (51e-1)".

That is, the information corresponding to the first step “50a” in FIG. (A) is “50a-1”, and the information corresponding to the first step “51a” in FIG. (B) is “51a-1”.

In addition, the embodiments 1) to 5) above can be applied as it is to an example of dividing the steps by the length of the maintained time.

8 is a diagram of another embodiment of an operation command through an input device.

Fig. 8 (A) is a diagram of an embodiment in which a point (point) selected by a finger or a bar moves through an input device, and (B) is a diagram of an embodiment showing an angle moved by a rotational motion. In addition, the + (plus) step command may be determined when the dot moves upward or rotates counterclockwise, and the - (minus) direction is determined opposite to the + direction.

Meanwhile, as another embodiment of the present invention, each step can be determined by determining the vertical direction and the left and right directions. That is, it is possible to set the upward movement as 1 step, the right direction as 2 steps, and the downward movement as 3 steps. In addition, several of these directions may be further subdivided. That is, it is possible to start in a clockwise direction and divide the angle by 40 degrees to 9 steps. For example, moving from clockwise to 80 degrees would be 2 steps.

The step movement according to the step-by-step operation command may be centered on the selection area 32 or a single point, and may be performed on the entire screen without particularly defining a selection area.

9 and 10 are diagrams illustrating an embodiment in which a summary corresponding to each step is displayed in a stepwise operation command.

9 is an example in which a stepwise operation command is a straight line distance, the straight line distance is divided into steps, and summary contents corresponding to each step are displayed.

It is a diagram showing that it is possible to divide the moved distance (+ movement for upward movement, - movement for downward movement) into steps and display the characteristics of information (contents of information) for each step on the screen. For example, step 1 is "52a" and step 2 is "52b". And, the first stage summary information is "52a-1" and the second stage summary information is "52b-1". Therefore, on the screen of the display 30, the number indicating the stage and the contents of the summary information of each stage can be displayed. .

That is, in the embodiment of FIG. 9 , a number indicating a step is displayed on the guide line 50 , and summary information about each step is displayed. For example, the summary information corresponding to step 1 (52a) is “simple specifications of mobile phone”, and information corresponding to step 2 (52b) becomes “detailed specifications of mobile phone”. Information about the specification is displayed.

Data on the design of the guide line according to the embodiment of FIG. 9 and the summary information displayed on the guide line may be stored in the memory unit 21 of the smartphone 110, and stored in the database 104 of the server 110 can be

And, when the operation command of the step is selected (user's selection), the central processing unit 20 of the smartphone stores the guide line information and summary information stored in the memory unit 21 based on the selection signal of the operation command of the above step. It is displayed on the display (30).

On the other hand, when the operation command selection command of the step is transmitted to the server under the control of the central processing unit 20, the control unit 101 of the server searches the guide line information and summary information stored in the database from the database 104, will be sent to your smartphone. Then, the central processing unit 30 of the smartphone 110 displays the received information on the display 30 . In addition, FIG. 10 is a diagram of an embodiment showing that the moved angle can be divided into steps and characteristics (summary information) of each step and information about each step can be displayed on the screen.

That is, steps 53a, 53b, 54c, 54d, and 54e are indicated on the guide lines 50, and summary information 53a-1, 53b-1, 54c-1, 54d-1). (54e-1) is also shown.

- How to display information corresponding to a step on the display -

The execution process according to the embodiment of the step-by-step operation instruction in the present invention is as follows.

1) When a point (point) is selected (can be selected with a finger or a bar) through the input device 28 of the smartphone, the input device driving unit 27 outputs the position value (coordinate) of the selected point do. Then, when the point is moved, the input device driving unit 27 outputs the movement value (coordinate) of the point. In this case, the value (coordinate) may be a number or a symbol.

2) The central processing unit 20 determines the position and movement value (coordinate) of the output point, determines the movement step according to a predetermined algorithm, and determines the selected final step.

For example, if the current step is step 2 and moves 2 steps in the + direction, the selected final step becomes step 4.

3) When the selected final stage is determined, the central processing unit 20 selects information corresponding to the final stage from the memory unit 21 (or 21a, 21b, 21c), and displays the selected information on the display 30 do. That is, the central processing unit outputs a driving signal for displaying the selected information on the display.

In this case, the final step may be transmitted to the server 100 , and the controller 101 of the server may search the database 104 for information corresponding to the final step and transmit it to the smartphone. Then, the smartphone displays information corresponding to the final step received from the server on the display screen.

That is, if the final step is step 3, the central processing unit 20 of the smartphone 110 displays the information stored in step 3 stored in the memory unit 21 of the smartphone or the database 104 of the server on the display 30 . displayed on

In addition, the level can be divided into the degree of moving or moving the smartphone itself,

On the other hand, the movement of the upper part of the display is recognized as an image element, and the signal output from the image element is determined by the algorithm, so that the degree of movement can be divided into stages. At this time, it is possible to divide the steps according to the shape of the finger, the shape of the eye, or the shape of another image.

In other words, using any input method to the smartphone, if the steps can be distinguished and divided like a step operation command and a step can be selected, information corresponding to the final step after the step operation command can be displayed on the screen. there will be

- Information stored in the database of the server and the memory of the smartphone -

1) Server database information is displayed on the display

The smart phone 110 may be connected to the server through the wired/wireless Internet or a communication network to perform the operation command of the step. That is, when the operation command of the step is input through the input device 28 of the smart phone 110, the input information is transmitted to the server through the communication network, and the server selects information corresponding to the operation command of the step from the database Thus, the selected information is transmitted to the smartphone, and the smartphone displays the received new information on the screen of the display 30 .

2) Smartphone memory information is displayed on the display

By using the central processing unit 20 and the memory unit 21 in the smartphone, it is possible to display information corresponding to the operation command of the step on the display screen,

On the other hand, at that time, step information can be received from the smart phone from the server. In this case, it has the following order.

First, when a program capable of a stepwise operation command is executed, or when a step capable of a stepwise operation command is displayed on the display, the central processing unit of the smartphone transmits the execution of the program capable of the stepwise operation command to the server.

When a program capable of a stepwise operation command is executed, the information of the first step is generally displayed on the display, but the information of the first step is not always displayed on the display depending on the termination status of the previous program.

Second, the control unit of the server retrieves the information corresponding to the step from the database and transmits it to the smartphone.

At this time, information of all stages may be transmitted from the server to the smartphone, but only information of some stages in the whole may be transmitted from the server to the smartphone.

For example, if steps 1 to 7 exist, the server may transmit all information from steps 1 to 7 to the smartphone, but the server may transmit only a portion of information from steps 1 to 7 to the smartphone. .

When only some steps are transmitted, information about steps around the step currently displayed on the display is transmitted from the server to the smartphone.

Third, the central processing unit 20 of the smartphone stores the received information in the memory unit 21 .

Fourth, although the final step is determined as a result of the stepwise manipulation command, information corresponding to the final step is selected from information received from the server and stored in the memory unit, and the selected information is displayed on the display.

3) Mixed use

When the information of the corresponding step is displayed on the display when the step-by-step operation command is started, or when the final step is determined as a result of the step-by-step operation command and the corresponding information is displayed on the display, the information displayed on the display is stored in the memory unit 21 It may be information stored in , or it may be information stored in the database 104 of the server.

That is, the information stored in the memory unit 21 may be displayed on the display 30 for the information of the first stage, and the information stored in the database 104 may be displayed on the display 30 for the information of the second stage.

In addition, it is natural that the server connection or algorithm execution in the smartphone itself can be determined at any time according to the corresponding program and type of information. And this may be determined programmatically or may be determined by the user's choice.

In addition, in order for the information corresponding to the stage of the operation command of the stage to be displayed on the display screen, it is natural that information corresponding to each stage should be stored separately in the database of the server or the memory unit of the smartphone. .

11 is a diagram illustrating a method of another embodiment capable of executing a step-by-step operation command in a selected area.

When executing a stepwise operation command on the selection area 35, the following method is used.

- Step-by-step operation instruction by time

1) Step 1: The central processing unit 20 recognizes the first step when the selection area 35 is touched (a finger or bar) through the input device 28 . Alternatively, if a touch is made for a predetermined short period of time, it is recognized as step 1.

2) Two or more stages: The central processing unit 20 determines two or more stages according to the time during which the selection area 35 is maintained as a dot (finger or bar) through the input device 28 .

- Step-by-step manipulation by distance

1) There is a selection area 35 in which a stepwise operation command can be executed by touch or time, and a point (finger or bar) is placed in the same selection area 35 as the selection area 35 through the input device 28 . When this is input and the input point is moved, the central processing unit 20 recognizes the movement distance by dividing it into steps.

- Step-by-step manipulation of time and distance

"Information corresponding to each step when a step-by-step operation command is executed by the touch of the point and the holding time of the point through the input device 28" and

"When a stepwise operation command is executed in such a way that the selected point moves through the input device 28, information corresponding to each step" is different from each other.

12 to 14 are diagrams illustrating a method of an embodiment in which the step-by-step operation command of the present invention is applied to "emoticons provided within the smartphone text providing program".

In the "text service screen" displayed on the display 30 provided in the smartphone 110, the received text 1 and the transmitted text 2 exist, and an input window 70 capable of inputting a message text and the input An emoticon selection area 55 existing in the window 70 is present.

In the present invention, various emoticon contents are provided by executing "stepwise manipulation commands described in the method of FIGS. 1 to 10 or the embodiment of FIG. 11" in the emoticon selection area 55 .

That is, when the emoticon selection area 55 is selected (touched) with a finger or a bar through the input device 28 , the first stage emoticon 56 is displayed on the text service screen of the display 30 . Alternatively, if selected for a very short period of time, the first stage emoticon 56 is displayed on the text service screen of the display 30 . As in the embodiment diagram of FIG. 13 , the first stage emoticon 56 is displayed at the position where the keyboard is displayed.

Then, in the emoticon selection area 55, a point is selected with a finger or a bar through the input device 28, and the second-level emoticon 57 or the third-level emoticon 58 is selected according to the time the selected point is maintained. The display 30 is displayed on the text service screen (a position where the keyboard is displayed).

14 is a view showing emoticons for each stage, and it is a diagram showing that the emoticons provided by each of the first-stage emoticon 56, the second-stage emoticon 57, or the third-stage emoticon 58 may be different.

For example, the first-level emoticon 56 may be provided with a simple image emoticon, the second-level emoticon 57 may be provided with an emoticon with a video function, or the third-level emoticon 58 may be provided with an emoticon that delivers a voice message. .

Meanwhile, two or more stepwise manipulation commands may be performed in the emoticon selection area 55 . That is, like the arrow displayed next to the emoticon selection area 55 in FIG. 13 (in fact, the arrow is not necessarily displayed on the text service screen of the display 30), the emoticon selection area 55 is the input device 28 ), a point (a finger or bar) is selected and the selected point is moved in a straight line direction, so that a stepwise operation command can be executed.

If the movement of the selected point occurs in the first-stage emoticon 56, more types of the first-stage emoticons can be identified. That is, although 20 emoticons are displayed in the first-stage emoticon 56 shown in the embodiment of FIG. 14 , the area in which the emoticons are displayed (the area where the keyboard 75 was originally displayed) is moved left and right, so that the displayed 20 In addition to the dog emoticons, other emoticons may be further displayed on the display 30 . Similarly, when the selected point is moved in the N-level emoticon 56, more types of emoticons in the N-level emoticon may be displayed on the display.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, it is also applicable to a foldable display device.

For example, when the selected point is moved by a predetermined distance or more, the embodiment shown in FIG. 25 of the present invention can be applied. The steps are as follows.

1) The central processing unit 20 recognizes that the emoticon selection area 55 has been selected through the application unit 28 .

2) According to the selection (touch) or holding time, the central processing unit 20 displays the emoticons from the first stage to the second stage or higher emoticons on the text service screen of the display 30 .

3) When the selected point in the emoticon selection area 55 is moved in a straight line, the central processing unit 20 further displays the N-stage emoticon on the text service screen of the display 30. , If it is a level 1 emoticon, more emoticons included in step 1 are shown, and if it is a level 2 emoticon, more emoticons included in step 2 are shown.

For example, when the selected point of the emoticon selection area 55 is moved in a straight line (left and right movement is also possible), the first emoticon 56 is displayed in the direction of the arrow drawn in the area where the first emoticon 56 is displayed in the embodiment of FIG. 13 . The screen on which 56 is displayed is moved left and right so that more first emoticons 56 are displayed on the display.

4) When the smartphone of the present invention is a smartphone 110 employing a foldable display 30, when the selected point of the emoticon selection area 55 is moved in a straight line, if the movement is more than a predetermined distance, the center The processing device 20 divides the screen of the foldable display 30 into two, and an emoticon is displayed on one of the two divided screens. That is, more emoticons are displayed on the foldable display (see Fig. 25).

That is, when the selected point in the N-level emoticon moves more than a certain distance, the central processing unit 20 divides the screen of the foldable display 30 and displays the N-level emoticon on at least one of the divided screens. As a result, more emoticons can be displayed on the display screen.

For example, if a movement distance greater than the movement distance of the selected point presented in the embodiment of item 3) occurs, the screen division method presented in the embodiment of FIG. 4) is performed.

15 to 18 are diagrams of an embodiment of emoticons conveying voice.

As shown in FIG. 15 , the third-level emoticon 58 may be determined as an emoticon conveying voice. And when one of the three-step emoticons 58 is selected through the input device 28 as shown in FIG. 16A, the central processing unit 20 sets the selected emoticon 58a-1 with other unselected emoticons. (In Fig. 16(A), lines are indicated, but various discrimination methods such as background color, underline, etc. may be used.)

And, when the selected emoticon is maintained for a certain period of time, a microphone image 58b-1 is displayed (58b) as shown in FIG. 16(B), and the central processing unit 30 has a recording function (microphone image) provided in the smartphone ( 58b-1) is executed. And when a voice signal is received through the microphone provided in the smartphone input/output unit 10 , the voice signal is stored in the memory unit 21 .

Meanwhile, as a method for the user to perform the recording function, a voice may be recorded by selecting the microphone image 58b-1, and the recording may be terminated by selecting the microphone image 58b-1 again. Meanwhile, while the recording function is being performed, the microphone image 58b-1 flickers or shows movement so that the recording function is performed can be distinguishedly displayed on the display.

When the recording function is terminated, the "method in which the emoticon selection area 55 is selected and then the selected point is moved linearly" described in the embodiment of FIG. 13 may be applied. That is, when the recording function is terminated in the embodiment of the present invention, the selected emoticon 58a-1 is again selected through the input device 28 with a dot (finger or bar) to transmit and receive characters 1 and 2 ), the central processing unit 20 puts the emoticon in which the voice is recorded at the position of the transmission character 2 when the dot is moved in the direction in which it exists. When the transmission function is performed in the next step, the emoticon in which the voice is recorded is transmitted. (Of course, the transmission function may be omitted.)

17 is a diagram of an embodiment in which the voice emoticon 65 with voice recorded is received. And the voice emoticon 65 becomes a selection area in which the stepwise operation command can be executed.

18 is a diagram of an embodiment in which a stepwise operation command is applied to the voice emoticon 65, and the steps are as follows.

1) Step 1: Set the voice emoticon to Step 1.

2) Voice emoticon step 2 65a (FIG. 18A): The voice emoticon 65 is selected through the input device 28 . The central processing unit 20 executes the voice emoticon 65 so that the voice is output (65a-1), and outputs the voice stored in the memory or the voice downloaded from the server through the speaker of the input/output unit 10, and the voice While this is being output, the voice emoticon 65 may be displayed as a speaking motion.

3) Voice emoticon step 3 (65b) (FIG. 18(B)): When the voice emoticon 65 is selected through the input device 28 and the selected point is maintained for a predetermined period of time, the voice uses the text conversion device. It is converted into text (65b-1) and displayed.

At this time, the central processing unit 20 executes a program that performs a normal voice recognition function and a text conversion function, and displays the text converted from the voice in the box 65b-1.

4) Voice emoticon step 4 (65c) (FIG. 18(C)): The voice emoticon 65 is selected through the input device 28, and the selected point is maintained for a predetermined period of time (longer than step 2) When done, a box 65c-1 in which additional selection is possible is displayed.

In the box 65c-1 in which the additional selection is possible, a list consisting of items from which additional functions can be selected, such as copy, deletion, and other programs, is displayed.

Meanwhile, the order of steps 2 to 4 is an example, and the order of information corresponding to each step does not necessarily conform to the method of the above embodiment. That is, a box 65c - 1 in which additional selection is possible may be displayed in step 2.

19-21 are diagrams of an embodiment of cryptographically sending a message.

And in the present invention, the encrypted message is transmitted through the encrypted emoticon 67. And, the steps in progress are shown below.

1) Stage 1: This is the initial stage. The diagram of the embodiment of Fig. 12 is one step.

2) Step 2: When a point (a point indicated by an arrow in FIG. 19, indicated by a P in the drawing) is selected in the input window 70, the keyboard 75 is displayed. Step 2 is in accordance with the previous embodiment of the present invention.

3) Step 3: Step 3 is in accordance with the previous embodiment of the present invention. The input window 70 is displayed separately. That is, an input window 70a for inputting a password is displayed. In the embodiment of FIG. 20 , the S image is displayed as a display indicating the password input window 70a, but it can be said that the method in which the original input window and the password input window are displayed to be distinguished from each other corresponds to the embodiment of the present invention.

In a normal input field, when characters are input as they are, when characters are input in the password input window, the input is transmitted as a password.

That is, when a character is input to the password input window 70a through the keyboard 75, the central processing unit 20 transmits the inputted character as a password.

4) Step 4: Step 4 is in accordance with the previous embodiment of the present invention. After entering the password, the password emoticon is displayed on the display 30 so that the password emoticon is selected.

The password emoticon is displayed at the position of the keyboard 75, and when one of the password encryption emoticons is selected, the character input as a password is transmitted together with the emoticon. At this time, when the encrypted emoticon is selected as a dot and then the selected dot is moved in the direction in which the sending/receiving character is located, the encrypted emoticon is transmitted.

Meanwhile, as a method for obtaining the same result as the method of step 4 above, there may be a method in which the emoticon selection area 55 is selected, selected and maintained for a predetermined time, or a selected point is moved in a straight line.

Of course, if the password emoticon has already been statically selected, the above step 4 is not required.

21 is a diagram of an embodiment showing a state in which the encrypted emoticon 67 is received. As shown in FIG. 21 , a password emoticon 67 is displayed on the text service screen on the smartphone display 30 . And the encryption emoticon 67 becomes a selection area in which the stepwise operation command can be executed.

22 is a diagram illustrating a step in which a stepwise operation command is executed when the encryption emoticon 67 becomes a selection area.

1) Step 1 ((A) of FIG. 22): This is the first step of the cryptographic emoticon 67 shown in FIG.

2) Two-step ((B) in FIG. 22): The two-step selection method is in accordance with the previous embodiment of the present invention. When the two-step operation command is executed through the input device 28, the central processing unit displays the password input window 67a.

3) When a password is entered in the password input field 67a through the input device 28 or the keyboard 75 as shown in FIG. displays the decrypted characters in

On the other hand, as an encrypted message, an image or video can also be transmitted through the password emoticon 67 in addition to text. Then, when a password is entered in the password input window 67a, an image or video from which the password has been released is displayed.

In addition, a method in which a password is released when a fingerprint is recognized by a conventional fingerprint recognition method may be used.

That is, a fingerprint recognition window is displayed on the display of the central processing unit, and a fingerprint is recognized by an input device (or sensor) capable of recognizing a fingerprint provided in the fingerprint recognition window, thereby releasing the password. In this case, it is natural that fingerprints should be registered in advance in a conventional manner.

4) 3 steps ((D) of FIG. 22): The 3 step selection method is in accordance with the previous embodiment of the present invention. An additional function selection box 67b is displayed. In the additional function selection box 67b, a list of items for which deletion, copy, or other programs are executed is displayed.

23 to 26 are diagrams of an embodiment in which emoticons are used in a group chat room.

The method of selecting the group emoticon 68 in the group chat room is based on the method of the previous embodiment. That is, a method in which a stepwise operation command is executed in the emoticon selection area 55 may be used, and a method in which a stepwise operation command is executed in the input window 70 may be used.

23 is a diagram of an embodiment showing a state in which a group emoticon 68 is received in a group chat room. That is, the group emoticon 68 is displayed on the text service screen of the group chat room. And the group emoticon 68 becomes a selection area in which a stepwise operation command is executed.

24 is a diagram showing an embodiment in which a stepwise operation command is performed on the group emoticon 68. As shown in FIG. The group emoticon 68 has a folder concept. For example, several members create a group chat room and the members exchange text messages with each other. In other words, in this case, a chat room with another topic or material in the group chat room can exist as a folder concept. And in the present invention, it is intended to represent the folder as a group emoticon 68 .

For example. In a group chat room with the name ABC where several members exchange texts together, as in the embodiment of FIG. 24, when you want to have a conversation with "May 5 picnic", in the ABC group chat room, "May 5 A chat room folder called "picnic" is created, and members can send and receive text messages in the folder. In addition, the folder may allow the group emoticon 68 to be displayed on the text service screen as shown in FIG. 24(A).

That is, when the members of the group chat room send and receive texts, a group emoticon 68 is created and a folder of texts exchanged is created, and a folder name 68a is created in the group emoticon 68, and the group emoticon 68 is created. (68) In the folder, texts that fit the subject or subject are exchanged.

- Execution method of stepwise operation command for group emoticon 68

1) Step 1 (FIG. 24(A)): As the state of FIG. 23, that is, the first step. The group emoticon 68 is displayed on the display 30 text service screen. In addition, the name 68a of the group emoticon 68 may be displayed.

2) Two-step ((B) in FIG. 24): The two-step selection is based on the method of the previous embodiment of the present invention. When step 2 is selected through the input device 28 , the central processing unit 20 displays the transmitted/received text 68a related to the group emoticon 68 on the text display service screen of the display 30 .

Since the group emoticon 68 is a folder concept of sending and receiving characters 1 and 2, only the group emoticon 68 may be displayed on the text service screen displayed on the display 30 . And, when a stepwise operation command is performed on the group emoticon 68, the members with respect to the Song Su-jin characters 1 and 2 (for example, "Picnic on May 5" corresponding to the group emoticon 68) The sent and received text messages (1, 2)) are displayed on the text service screen of the display 30 . And this execution process is performed through the central processing unit 20 , the memory unit 21 and the input unit 28 .

3) Three-step ((3) in FIG. 24): The three-step selection is based on the method of the previous embodiment of the present invention. When step 3 is selected through the input device 28, the central processing unit 20 displays a list in which "a plurality of items from which different functions can be selected" related to the group emoticon 68 exist.

For example, the "plural items from which different functions can be selected" may be items related to copying, deleting, selecting another emoticon or selecting another program.

In addition, a "Message" item may also exist.

It goes without saying that the order displayed on the screen in response to the stepwise manipulation command may be changed. That is, the step (C) of FIG. 24 may be step 2 instead of step 3.

25 is a diagram of an embodiment for explaining the "Message" item. This is an embodiment method for selecting the group emoticon 68 displayed on the text service screen of the display 30 and transmitting a text within the selected group emoticon 68 .

The first group emoticon 68-1 to transmit a text message (there are two group emoticons on the text service screen and thus named first and second for convenience) is closed, and the first group emoticon 68 is closed. -1) There is a second group emoticon 68-2 behind (below in the embodiment of FIG. 25). In addition, in order to participate in the first group emoticon 68-1 folder and transmit a text, a stepwise operation command must be performed on the first group emoticon 68-1.

That is, in the embodiment of FIG. 24 , in the second step in which the stepwise operation command is executed, a list 68c is displayed, a "Message item" exists in the list 68c, and the "Message item" is inputted to the input device 28 When selection is made through , the central processing unit enables participation in text transmission to the first group emoticon 68-1. That is, when a character is inputted and transmitted through the input window and the keyboard, the character is transmitted to the folder of the first group emoticon 68-1. Then, other members use the transmitted character as a first group emoticon 68-1. The folder becomes readable,

In this case, the "Message item" does not exist as an item in the list and may be an independent step.

26 is a diagram of another embodiment participating in a group emoticon 68 . 26 is a view of a state in which the group emoticon folder is opened, and the sending and receiving characters (1)(1-1)(1-2)(2) displayed on the text service screen of the display 30 (for convenience, 1,2, 3) are all transmitted and received characters included in the group emoticon 68 (picnic on May 5), the characters input through the input window 70 and keyboard 75 are the group emoticons ( 68) will be included in the folder. And, this is performed through the central processing unit 20, the input unit 28 and the memory unit 21.

Although not shown in the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention, boundaries may be indicated. When the group emoticon 68 folder is opened and the sending/receiving characters 1 and 2 included in the group emoticon 68 folder are displayed on the text service screen of the display 30, the group emoticon folder contains characters and Boundary marks exist between characters that are not. In this case, the boundary display may be displayed in various conventional methods such as a boundary line, a different color, or a character.

Meanwhile, the steps of the method of generating the group emoticon 68 through the input window 70 shown in the embodiment of FIG. 12 may be as follows.

- How to create emoticons through the input window

Step 1: As an initial step in which the input field 70 is displayed, the embodiment of FIG. 12 is displayed.

Step 2: A two-step operation command is executed in the input window 70 . The method for executing the two-step stepwise operation command is the same as in the previous embodiment. As in the embodiment of FIG. 13 , the keyboard 75 is displayed on the display 30 .

Step 3: A three-step operation command is executed in the input window 70 . The method of executing the three-step stepwise operation command is the same as in the previous embodiment. And, as in the embodiment of FIG. 20 , the input window 70 becomes a password input window.

On the other hand, in order to select the cryptographic emoticon 67, the points shown in the drawings of FIGS. 19 and 20 (points indicated by P in the drawings) are shown in the input fields 70 and 70a of FIGS. 19 and 20. When the arrow moves in a straight line like an arrow (horizontal arrow), a password emoticon is displayed in the area where the keyboard 75 is displayed as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15 .

That is, when an arbitrary point is selected in the input window 70 and the selected point is moved in a straight line, an emoticon is displayed at the position where the keyboard 75 is displayed, an arbitrary point is selected in the password input window 70a, and the selected point is moved in a straight line. When the keyboard 75 is displayed, the password emoticon is displayed.

Then, one of a plurality of encryption emoticons displayed at the position of the keyboard 75 is selected. (A message input through the keyboard exists in the password input window before the password emoticon 67 is selected.)

The selected emoticon is positioned at the position of the text to be sent (the location for sending a text), and it becomes the password input stage, and a password is entered or encrypted with a previously set password. And when the transmission is performed, the encrypted emoticon 67 is transmitted as a transmission text.

On the other hand, before inputting a message, an image, file, or video may be attached through the password input window 70a and transmitted to the password emoticon 67 in the same manner as above. Meanwhile, the above steps and methods are also performed through the central processing unit 20 , the input unit 28 and the memory unit 21 .

On the other hand, as the encryption method in the present invention, a conventional encryption method is used.

Step 4: A four-step operation command is executed in the input window 70 . A method of executing a four-step stepwise operation instruction is the same as in the previous embodiment. And, the input window 70 becomes a group chat room input window.

And, the method of selecting the group emoticon follows the method of the three-step embodiment. That is, when an arbitrary point is selected in the input window for entering text in the group chat room and the selected point moves linearly (like the arrows shown in the embodiments of FIGS. 19 and 20), the keyboard 75 is displayed at the position. A group emoticon is displayed. And, when one of the plurality of group emoticons 68 is selected, the selected group emoticon moves to the position of the transmitted text.

On the other hand, when the group emoticon 68 exists in the position of the text to be transmitted, the step of inputting the name of the group emoticon 68 folder exists, and the name of the folder can be entered through the input window and the keyboard. And when the group emoticon 68 is transmitted, a group emoticon 68 folder is created in the group chat room.

And an additional method in which the above method is carried out is as follows.

- After the password emoticon and group emoticon are located at the location of the sending character, the password character is not entered (or there is no pre-specified password) or the group emoticon 68 folder name is not entered (input device) (Transmission by a normal method by selection of (28)), the central processing unit 20 displays a message to input a password or the name of the group emoticon folder on the display 30.

On the other hand, there is a method of another embodiment in which the encrypted emoticon or group emoticon is displayed at the position of the keyboard 75 . And the method is as follows.

The code may not exist in the Malone group emoticons.

- When the emoticon selection area 55 is selected in the input window 70 for inputting characters, several normal emoticons are displayed on the keyboard 75 position.

- When the emoticon selection area 55 is selected in the password input window 70a, a plurality of password emoticons 67 are displayed on the keyboard 75 position.

- When the emoticon selection area 55 is selected in the input window for generating the group emoticon 68 (or in a group chat room), a plurality of group emoticons 68 are displayed on the keyboard 75 position.

27 to 29 are diagrams of an embodiment showing a method in which the present invention is applied to a smartphone equipped with a foldable display.

In general, the foldable smartphone 110 ′ provided with the foldable display 30 ′ has the foldable smartphone 110 ′ and the foldable display 30 ′ left and right based on a center line (a straight line when viewed in the drawing). is to be folded with

And, as in the embodiment of Fig. 28, the screen of the display 30 is divided into two left and right with the center line C as the center, and the sending/receiving characters 1 and 2 are displayed on one side and the first, second, and third emoticons are displayed on the other side. can be

In addition, as in the embodiment of Fig. 29, the screen of the display 30 is divided into two left and right with the center line C as the center, so that the sending and receiving characters 1 and 2 are displayed on one side and "a special group emoticon 68 folder" on the other side. Transmission and reception characters (1) (2) (characters (1) (2) transmitted and received by members within "May 5 Picnic" according to the embodiment of FIG. 29) included in may be displayed.

The above process is performed by the central processing unit 20 , the input unit 28 , and the memory unit 21 . And the process is as follows.

- The screen is divided according to the time the point selected through the input device 28 is maintained, and emoticons or sending/receiving characters are displayed on the divided screen as in the method of the above embodiment.

When a dot is selected through the input window 28 and the time the dot is maintained is divided into steps, one of steps 1 to 4 is a step in which the screen division function is executed. That is, the central processing unit 20 divides the screen of the display 30 when a predetermined step (from step 1 to step 4) is reached by the above method, and displays each of the screens on the divided screens.

However, it is preferable that the step of the central processing unit dividing the screen should be 3 or 4 steps.

- The screen is divided according to the distance to which the point selected through the input device 28 moves, and emoticons or sending/receiving characters are displayed on the divided screen as in the method of the above embodiment.

When a dot is selected through the input window 28 and the time for moving the dot is divided into stages, one stage among them is the stage in which the screen division function is executed. That is, the central processing unit 20 divides the screen of the display 30 when a predetermined step is reached by the above method, and displays each of the screens on the divided screens.

However, it is preferable that the step in which the central processing unit divides the screen is the final step (when dividing the movement distance into steps, when the movement is the longest distance, that is, when it is the highest step)

For example, if the maximum step of the moving distance of the selected point is 2 or 3 steps, the screen division step is preferably 2 or 3 steps.
