FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. - As shown, the
mobile terminal 100 includes a Radio Frequency (RF)unit 110, anaudio processing unit 120, atouchscreen 130, akey input unit 140, astorage unit 150, and acontrol unit 160. - The
RF unit 110 is responsible for the radio communication function of themobile terminal 100 for transmitting/receiving data. TheRF unit 100 includes an RF transmitter for up-converting and amplifying the transmission signal and an RF receiver for low noise amplifying and down-converting the received signal. TheRF unit 110 transfers the data received over a radio channel to thecontrol unit 160 and transmits the data output by thecontrol unit 160 over the radio channel. - The
audio processing unit 120 includes a codec pack having a data codec for processing packet data and an audio codec for processing audio signal including voice. Theaudio processing unit 120 converts a digital audio signal to an analog audio signal by means of the audio codec to play out the audio signal through a speaker (SPK) and converts an audio signal input through a microphone (MIC) to a digital audio signal by means of the audio codec. - The
touchscreen 130 includes atouch sensing unit 131 and adisplay unit 132. Thetouch sensing unit 131 detects a touch input made by the user on the screen. Thetouch sensing unit 131 can be implemented with one of capacitive overlay type, pressure type, resistive overly type, infrared beam type sensors, or a pressure sensor. Thetouch sensing unit 131 can also be implemented with other type of sensing devices that can detect a contact of or pressure by an object. Thetouch sensing unit 131 generates a detection signal including coordinates corresponding to a touch input made by the user and transfers the detection signal to thecontrol unit 160. In case that the user makes a movement gesture without releasing the touch made on the screen, thetouch sensing unit 131 generates the detection signal including the coordinates on the movement path and transfers the generated detection signal to thecontrol unit 160. Here, the movement gesture can be categorized into one of a flick in which the movement speed is greater than a threshold speed and a drag in which the movement speed is equal to or less than the threshold speed. - The
touch sensing unit 131 can detect a user input made for information display setting. In this case, the user input can be one of a pinch input in which two touch points are drawn nearer to each other in drag speed, a double tap input, a soft key input, etc. - The
display unit 132 can be implemented with one of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), an Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED), and Active Matrix OLED (AMOLED), and output menus, user input data, function setting indication, and other information in the form of visual image. Thedisplay unit 132 also displays a booting screen, a standby screen, a menu screen, a call progressing screen, and other application execution screens. - The
display unit 132 can present a shown-information region for displaying the shown-information item and a hidden-information region for displaying the hidden-information region. Alternatively, the hidden-information region can be a blank region which is not occupied by any information item. The hidden-information region also can be presented as if the information item is folded. A detailed description of processing the hidden-information item is described later. - Although the description is directed to a touchscreen-enabled
mobile terminal 100, it should be noted that the teachings of the present invention can be applied to a mobile terminal implemented without a touchscreen. In such a case, thetouchscreen 130 can be modified so as to work only with the display function of thedisplay unit 132. - The
key input unit 140 generates an input signal to thecontrol unit 160 in accordance with the key manipulation of the user. Thekey input unit 140 can be implemented with a keypad having alphanumeric keys and navigation keys along with certain function keys formed at a side of themobile terminal 100. In case of thetouchscreen 130, thekey input unit 140 can be omitted. Thekey input unit 140 can further include at least one soft key for display configuration. - The
storage unit 150 stores programs and data necessary for the operations of themobile terminal 100 and can be divided into a program region and a data region. The program region can store the programs for controlling the operations of the mobile terminal, the Operating System (OS) for booting up themobile terminal 100, the application programs for playing multimedia contents, and other application programs for supporting the supplementary functions such as camera function, audio playback function, and still and motion picture playback function. The data region stores the data generated according to the use of themobile terminal 100 such as picture, video, phonebook, and audio data. - The
control unit 160 controls the overall operations of the internal function blocks of themobile terminal 100. Particularly, thecontrol unit 160 controls such that each of the information items constituting a list is shown or hidden according to whether the information item contains the user-intended information. Thecontrol unit 160 can include an informationdisplay determination module 161. In an alternate embodiment, thecontrol unit 160 can implemented to perform the function of the informationdisplay determination module 161. - When a user input is detected, the information
display determination module 161 analyzes the information items of the list. The informationdisplay determination module 161 determines the shown-information items and the hidden-information items according to a predefined display rule. Here, the display rule is used to determine whether to show or hide each information item depending on whether the information item has the user-intended information, whether the information item is mostly used information item, whether the information item has a priority selection or other urgency/emergency level. -
FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an information display method of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. - When entering the menu, the
control unit 160 of themobile terminal 100 controls thedisplay unit 132 to display a list related to the menu (S210). Here, the list includes at least one information item. - Next, the
control unit 160 detects a user input made for configuring information display condition (S220). According to an embodiment of the present invention, the user input for information display configuration can be made by a pinch input in which two touch points are drawn nearer to each other and sensed by thetouch sensing unit 131. However, this information display configuration request input is not limited to the pinch input but can be made with a double touch at a specific area or button or a soft key designated for the information display configuration. - Next, the
control unit 160 analyzes each information item of the list (S230). According to the analysis result, thecontrol unit 160 determines whether to show or hide the corresponding information item (S240). A description relating to the determination on whether to show or hide the information is provided in more detail with reference toFIG. 3 . -
FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating the procedure for determining whether to show or hide an information item in the information display method ofFIG. 2 . - As shown, the
control unit 160 checks the information contained in each of the information items from the list (S310). The type of the information can vary according to the list. For example, if the list is a contact list, the information item can contain the information such as an alphabetical index and a subscriber's contact. Alternatively, the list can contain the information such as a schedule title and content. - After checking the information contained in the information item, the
control unit 160 determines whether information item contains the user-intended information (S320), and the procedure branches out to step S330 or S360. If the information item does not contain the user-intended or desired information, thecontrol unit 160 configures the information item as a hidden-information item so as to prevent the display from the list (S360). - Otherwise, if the information item contains the user-intended information, the
control unit 160 determines whether to show all of the information items containing the user-intended information in the list (S330). Alternatively, whether to show all of the information items containing the user-intended or desired information can be preconfigured by the user. If it is determined to show all of the information items containing the user-intended information at step S330, thecontrol unit 160 configures the corresponding information item as the shown-information item so as to be shown in the list (S350). - If it is determined not to show all of the information items contained the user-intended information at step S330, the
control unit 160 determines whether the corresponding information item contains the relevant representative information (S340). Here, thecontrol unit 160 controls such that the list composed of the information items having specific information is displayed on thedisplay unit 132. - If the corresponding information item contains the representative information, the
control unit 160 configures the information item as the shown-information item so as to be shown in the list (S350). The representative information can be different according to the type of the list. For example, if the list is a contact list, the representative information can be an alphabet index for sorting out the registered subscribers into certain groups. In another exemplary case of a daily schedule, the representative information can be the schedule title excerpted from the schedule content. - In contrast, if the information item does not contain the representative information, the
control unit 160 configures the information item as a hidden-information item so as to be hidden in the list (S360). - Although the description is directed to the case where the information item is configured to be shown or hidden in the list depending on the whether the information item contains the representative information, it should be noted that the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the information items can be sorted by priority or urgency/emergency level such that each information item can be configured accordingly.
- After configuring the shown-and-hidden information items, the procedure returns to
FIG. 2 . Finally, thecontrol unit 160 controls thedisplay unit 132 to display the list configured to have the information items (S250). In this case, thecontrol unit 160 can display the shown-information items in at least one information display region. - Meanwhile, the
control unit 160 can control such that the hidden-information items are clued in the hidden-item regions indicating existence of hidden-information items or not shown in the list which is described later. - A description is made of the information display methods according to the embodiments (first to fourth embodiments) of the present invention hereinafter.
