The present invention relates to a method of controlling a terminal, which is one component of such a network, and an app used therein, while providing such an information sharing network.

As shown in FIG. 2, the terminal 100 used in the present invention includes a post including location information providing unit 120 providing location information and at least one of text information, photo information, and multimedia information. It includes a communication unit 110 for receiving information from the outside or transmitting to the outside.

In addition, the display unit 130 is provided with a touch sensor, and the input of the information can be outputted. The display unit 130 maps the corresponding post on the map so that the post information mapped on the map is displayed, and through the user and a specific application. When the post information uploaded by another user linked or uploaded by the user is received through the communication unit 110, the control unit 140 controlling the received post information to be mapped and displayed on the map. Include.

The communication unit 110 may include one or more components for communication between the terminal 100 and the communication system or communication between the terminal 100 and a network in which the terminal 100 is located.

For example, the communication unit 110 may include a broadcast receiving module, a mobile communication module, a wireless internet module, a short range communication module, and the like.

The broadcast receiving module 111 receives a broadcast signal and / or broadcast related information from an external broadcast management server through a broadcast channel.

The broadcast channel may include a satellite channel and a terrestrial channel. The broadcast related information may mean information related to a broadcast channel, a broadcast program, or a broadcast service provider.

The broadcast signal may include not only a TV broadcast signal, a radio broadcast signal, and a data broadcast signal, but also a broadcast signal having a data broadcast signal combined with a TV broadcast signal or a radio broadcast signal.

The mobile communication module transmits and receives a radio signal with at least one of a base station, an external terminal, and a server on a mobile communication network. The wireless signal may include various types of data according to transmission and reception of a voice call signal, a video call call signal, or a text / multimedia message.

The wireless internet module refers to a module for wireless internet access. The wireless internet module may be internal or external.

The short range communication module refers to a module for short range communication. Bluetooth, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Infrared Data Association (IrDA), Ultra Wideband (UWB), ZigBee, Near Field Communication (NFC), and the like may be used as a short range communication technology.

The location information providing unit 120 is a module for checking or obtaining the location of the terminal 100.

One example is the Global Position System (GPS) module. The GPS module receives location information from a plurality of satellites. Here, the location information may include coordinate information represented by latitude and longitude.

For example, the GPS module can measure the exact time and distance from three or more satellites and accurately calculate the current position by triangulating three different distances.

A method of obtaining distance and time information from three satellites and correcting the error with one satellite may be used.

In particular, the GPS module can obtain not only the location of latitude, longitude, and altitude but also accurate time together with three-dimensional speed information from the location information received from the satellite.

When the display unit 130 and the touch pad have a mutual layer structure and constitute a touch screen, the display unit 130 may be used as an input device in addition to the output device.

The display unit 131 may be a liquid crystal display, a thin film transistor-liquid crystal display, an organic light-emitting diode, a flexible display, or a three-dimensional display. 3D display).

 In addition, two or more display units 130 may exist according to an implementation form of the terminal 100.

For example, an external display unit (not shown) and an internal display unit (not shown) may be simultaneously provided in the mobile terminal 100.

 The touch screen may be configured to detect not only the touch input position and the touched area but also the touch input pressure. In addition, the touch screen may be configured to detect not only the real-touch but also proximity touch.

In the present specification, "real-touch" refers to a case in which a pointer is actually touched on the screen, and "proximity-touch" refers to a case in which the pointer is actually touched to the screen. Instead, it refers to the case where the screen approaches a distance from the screen.

In the present specification, a pointer refers to a tool for touching or proximity touching a specific portion of a displayed screen. Examples include stylus fans, fingers, and the like.

Although not shown in the drawing, various sensors may be provided inside or near the touch screen to detect a touch or a proximity touch of the touch screen.

 Alternatively, various sensors for detecting a touch or a proximity touch of the touch screen may be disposed.

An example of a sensor for sensing a touch of a touch screen is a tactile sensor.

The tactile sensor refers to a sensor that senses the contact of a specific object to the extent that a person feels or more. The tactile sensor may detect various information such as roughness of a contact surface, rigidity of a contact object, temperature of a contact point, and the like.

In addition, a sensor for detecting a touch of the touch screen may detect a touch drag. "Touch drag" refers to a case where the touched point is moved while the touch is maintained. That is, it is a case of dragging while the touch is maintained.

 Tapping a predetermined point on the display screen with a pointer to distinguish it from touch drag may be referred to as a "tap-touch".

In this case, a sensor (eg, a tactile sensor) that detects a touch may sense a drag direction, a drag speed, a drag length, and the like of the touch drag.

An example of a sensor for sensing a touch of a touch screen is a proximity sensor.

The proximity sensor refers to a sensor that detects the presence or absence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface or an object present in the vicinity without using mechanical force by using electromagnetic force or infrared rays. Thus, proximity sensors have a considerably longer life than contact sensors and their utilization is also significantly higher.

Examples of the proximity sensor include a transmission photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor.

To explain an example of the operation principle of the high frequency oscillation type proximity sensor, the oscillation amplitude of the oscillation circuit is attenuated or stopped when the sensing object approaches the sensor sensing surface in the state of oscillating the high frequency wave of the wave in the oscillation circuit. This change is converted into an electrical signal to detect the presence or absence of a sensing object.

Therefore, even if a non-metallic material comes between the high frequency oscillation proximity sensor and the sensing object, the proximity switch can detect the sensing object to be detected without interference of the object.

Even if the proximity sensor is not firmly mounted, the touch screen may be configured to detect the proximity of the pointer by the change of the electric field according to the proximity of the pointer when the touch screen is capacitive. Therefore, when the pointer is located in close proximity to the touch screen but not actually in contact, the position of the pointer and the distance between the pointer and the touch screen may be detected.

The position of the proximity touch with the pointer on the touch screen refers to a position where the pointer is perpendicular to the touch screen when the pointer is in proximity touch.

If the proximity sensor is within a predetermined distance range, the proximity sensor may recognize it as a proximity touch.

Proximity means the distance away from the screen and the pointer. In particular, the proximity distance may mean the shortest distance away from the screen and the pointer.

In addition, the term "a predetermined point of the screen is in proximity touch" in the present specification means that the pointer is located at a position in a space vertically corresponding to the predetermined point, and is recognized as a proximity touch.

 By using the proximity sensor, a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (eg, proximity distance, proximity touch direction, proximity speed, proximity touch time, proximity touch position, proximity touch movement state, etc.) are detected, and the detected proximity touch is detected. Information corresponding to the operation and the proximity touch pattern may be output on the touch screen.

In this specification, the proximity speed means a speed at which the pointer approaches the screen or a speed at which the pointer moves away from the screen. For example, the proximity sensor may detect a drag direction, a drag speed, a drag length, and the like of the proximity drag. The term "proximity-drag" refers to a case where the proximity touched point is moved while the proximity touch is maintained. That is, the case where the drag is performed while the proximity touch is maintained.

4A to 26 show the post information including text information, photo information, or multimedia uploaded by the user in the terminal 100 according to the present invention on a map M, and accessing (eg, touching) the displayed information. In the case of FIG. 1, the result state of the display unit is shown.

When the app related to the present invention is driven in the terminal, a main page 401 as shown in FIG. 4A appears first.

In the main page 401, a map M is displayed, and visual information such as photo information or multimedia information is displayed on the map.

The map M displayed on the main page 401 may be a map centered on an area where the user is currently located, or may be a map about an area opened immediately before the user.

On the other hand, on the map M, a plurality of photographic information or multimedia information or a post (post) 402 containing such information is displayed.

Such information or posts are displayed on a map based on the location information they were created or uploaded to.

Thus, if there are several photos taken or uploaded on Apgujeong Rodeo Street or posts containing the photos, they are displayed on a map representing the area, and the most recently taken or uploaded pictures are displayed in the area.

Then, around the displayed picture, the quantity of all pictures related to the location is displayed.

For example, if a user of the terminal is following or uploaded seven pictures on the Apgujeong Rodeo Street among other users who follow the user (Fig. 5A), the most recent map on the Apgujeong Rodeo Street is displayed. Photos taken or uploaded are displayed, and '7' is displayed next to them, indicating that there are seven photos taken or uploaded there.

As such, clustering refers to grouping or clustering information photographed or uploaded within a predetermined distance around a specific region or a specific region.

In this state, when the user enlarges the map or reduces the map to increase the scale, information clustered according to the area is divided or merged again, and thus the number gathered together changes.

As shown in Figs. 4A and 5, the main page displays the latest information from the user's followers or the pictures posted by the user who is following the user and the information card 403 including this information.

In this state, if you access an empty area of the map (the area of the map where no information or posts are displayed) (e.g. touch or tap, `` access '' means touch or tap or input), The post disappears and only the bottom navigation bar 404 remains.

The navigation bar 404 includes a My Page button 404a, a feed button 405 for displaying post, photo information, and multimedia information in a vertical direction in time series, and an information card button showing an information card showing recently uploaded information ( 406, a grid button 407 for displaying photo information and multimedia information in a grid form, and an upload button 408 for posting a post.

Alternatively, when the map M and the navigation bar 404 are only accessible when the empty space of the map is accessed, a recent post including a recent post and a post of a user's followers or a photo posted by the user who is following the user may include this post. The information card 403 is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the My Page button 404a of the navigation bar 404 is accessed, the My Page 405 of the user is displayed while the screen is changed as shown in FIG.

My page 405 displays the profile picture area, the number of posts posted by the user, the number of people who follow him, and the number of his followers.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, when the user accesses the profile area 403a of another user from the information card 403 of 4A, the screen is changed and as shown in FIG. 9, the My Page 405 'of the other user. Is displayed

As shown in FIG. 9, the My Page 405 ′ of the other user includes a profile picture area, the number of posts posted by the other user, the number of people following the other user, and the corresponding user. The number of followers of other users is displayed.

On the other hand, in the state of FIG. 4A, when the GPS button 403b of the information card 403 is approached as shown in FIG. 10, as shown in FIG. 11, a post (photo or multimedia information) displayed on the information card 403 is mapped. Its position changes to center it.

The map is then expanded (Zoom-in function) to more clearly know its location.

Meanwhile, when the photo or multimedia information, which is the most recently uploaded post as shown in FIG. 12, is not visible on the map on the screen, when the post is accessed, the post is displayed on the map as shown in FIG. In the center of the map).

In this state, when the post is accessed once more, the screen is switched to the post reading mode as shown in FIG.

Meanwhile, when the grid button 407 of the navigation bar 404 is clicked in FIG. 4A (FIG. 15), the post information uploaded by another user up to now is posted in a time series sequence as shown in FIG. Therefore, it is shown in grid form.

On the other hand, when the user clicks the feed button 405 of the navigation bar in FIG. 4A (FIG. 17, another user who uploads the post that the user is viewing, displays a time series of photos or multimedia information uploaded so far as shown in FIG. 4O). The feed is shown in the vertical direction in the order shown.

On the other hand, in the state of FIG. 4, when the self-locating button (my location button) 401a located at the upper right of the screen is pressed (FIG. 19), a marker MK indicating the current location of the user is displayed on the map.

And the marker MK is preferably located in the center region (vertical line center or horizontal line center) of the map.

On the map where the marker MK is located, posts uploaded or photographed in the area adjacent to the location of the marker MK among posts posted by my followers or users who follow me are displayed in a clustering form (FIG. 20).

This function is mainly for knowing my location on the map. However, if you're located in an area you're not used to, you'll be able to find out how relevant posts from your followers or people you follow are related to where you're located and how close you are.

For example, if a user is located near Bongcheon station that he or she is unfamiliar with, and wants to find a restaurant, if the post associated with the user thinks that the restaurant is a nearby restaurant and has a photo, the information displayed on the advertising blog will be displayed. There will be more credibility than seeing.

In this case, the user can check the information posted by the people associated with me using the above method, and since such information is displayed on a map, the user can more easily check the geographical location of the information.

Meanwhile, when the user pulls down the entire screen downward as shown in FIG. 21 while the post is displayed in a grid, when there is a new post while refreshing, new information is displayed in a grid form as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23.

On the other hand, if there is a post currently being viewed by the user, as shown in FIG. 24, a pin-shaped marker MK is displayed on the corresponding picture or multimedia information on the map.

When the user clicks on the marker in this state, the marker and the marked information move to the center area of the map as shown in FIG.

In this state, when several posts are bound to the marker MK moved to the center area in the clustering state, when the marker MK is clicked once more, the information gathered in the clustering form as shown in FIG. 26 is displayed in a grid pop-up window. Is displayed on the screen.

27 to 42 illustrate a state in which a user reads a post including specific photograph or multimedia information.

When the user touches a post on the map, an information card containing the profile of the user who uploaded the information is shown on the screen (same as in Fig. 4A).

 If you touch the post once more, the post such as the photo or multimedia information and the comment written by the user, and the other user (follower or follower of the user) Post frames 501 showing comments of users) are displayed.

In addition, a 'like' button 501a for displaying a preference and a 'confirm comment' button 501b for viewing a comment are positioned on the comment field.
