Thus, the touch path corresponding to the touch input can be displayed on the display 151. When the first layer is selected, the user touch can be applied to the first layer, even if the second layer is superimposed on the first layer. Based on this, the rear screen can be changed in accordance with the operation of the touch.
One of the first or second screen may be selected depending on the operation of selecting the user and / or the control signal of the controller 180. For example, the user may select a specific icon displayed on the display 151 to apply touch user input to the second screen on the first layer.
FIGS. 5-8 illustrate the display procedure of the note function of the mobile terminal of FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 5-8, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 may display a second layer S2 upon touch input of a user applied to the display 151.
Referring to FIG. 5, a rear screen may be displayed on the display 151. The display state of the rear screen may correspond to a state when the first layer is displayed. For example, indicators that include the states of the mobile terminal 100, such as the state of the battery, can be displayed in the first area A1 of the display 151, and the icons can be displayed in the second area A2. While FIG. 5 shows a back screen on which icons are displayed in the second area A2, a screen on which a specific application is running can be displayed.
Referring to FIG. 6, a user can touch the first area A1 with the finger F and drag the second area A1 in the direction D1. Although, FIG. 6 shows that the display 151 is touched with the finger F, the display 151 can be touched with a stylus.
Referring to FIG. 7, with a certain touch input by the user, the controller 180 can display the second layer 52. The second layer 52 can be displayed as falling shutters according to the animation effect. In the figures, the second layer S2 is shaded to indicate that the second layer S2 is translucent. However, this is an exemplary view indicating that the second layer S2 is enabled, and the second layer S2 may be transparent. That is, even if the second layer S2 is activated to enable the note function, the state of the display 151 may not change.
Referring to Fig. 8, when activating the second layer S2, the controller 180 can display a touch path corresponding to the touch input of the user using finger F. That is, the second layer S2 can be used for the note function, displaying the touch path of the user applied to the display 151. In particular , the second layer S2 can be used for quick memorization, because the note function can be used through the second layer, in accordance with a relatively simple operation.
9-10 illustrate a method for displaying the note function of the mobile terminal of FIG. 1 in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 9, the mobile terminal 100 may include a control button PB for activating the second layer S2.
A control button PB may be provided on one side of the housing of the mobile terminal 100. When the control button PB is pressed, the controller 180 may activate the second layer S2. For example, the annotation function may be enabled if the PB control button is selected, regardless of the content currently displayed on the display 151.
Referring to FIG. 10, the mobile terminal 100 may be equipped with a quick menu button MI for activating the second layer S2.
The quick menu button MI can be displayed on a special place on the display 151. For example, the quick menu button MI can be placed on the status bar located on the upper end of the display 151. When the quick menu button MI is selected, while the first layer S1, such as the back screen is displayed, the second layer S2 is activated and thus the note function can be performed.
11-15 illustrate a back screen control procedure while a note function is executed to display a note.
As shown in FIGS. 11-15, after the user writes a note on the second layer S2 involved through the touch operation, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 may activate the first layer S1 to perform the desired function. One of the first or second screen S1 and S2, which will be controlled, can be selectively activated via touch input, and thus, the user can perform the desired operation, at the same time checking the previously entered note.
Consider Figure 11 (a), the user can write a note on the second layer S2. For example, a user can quickly write the name and phone number of a specific person. The second layer S2 can be activated using the quick menu button MI or the control button PB located on the housing of the mobile terminal 100, as described above, or in accordance with the operation of touching and dragging a specific point on the display 151.
When the second layer is activated, the contact path of the TT corresponding to the user's touch input can be displayed. That is, even if the icons are displayed on the display 151, the icon number is selected by the touch input of the user, and the path of the touch CT corresponding to the touch input of the user can be displayed. Since the trajectory of the TT touch is visually displayed, the user can write the desired note.
Consider Figure 11 (b), when the desired note has been written, the user can select the MI change menu. The MI change menu may be the designated change function of the involved screen. When the user selects the change menu MI with finger F, the controller 180 can change the screen involved. For example, if the second layer S2 is currently enabled, the controller 180 may activate the first layer when selecting the MI change menu.
The controller 180 may control the touch input of the user, which should be applied to the involved screen. That is, the controller 180 may apply a user operation to the activated screen. For example, if the second layer S2 has been activated, the user's touch input can be S2 visually displayed as the contact path TT. In the opposite case, if the first layer S1 has been activated, the application relating to the icon at the corresponding point to which the user touches can be executed.
Refer to FIG. 12 (a), in order to allow the user to know that the second layer S2 is locked in accordance with the selection of the MI change menu, the controller 180 may display an ID indicator. For example, a frame with a particular thickness and / or color may be displayed around the second layer S2.
Consider Fig. 12 (b), the deactivation of the second layer S2, corresponding to S2 the selection of the MI change menu, can be indicated by the indicator icon CI. The indicator icon CI is displayed at a particular point on the display 151 depending on whether the second layer S2 is involved, and thus, the user can intuitively recognize the current state.
13 (a), when the second layer S2 is locked and the first layer S2 corresponding to the rear screen is engaged, the user can perform a drag operation by touching the display 151 from right to left using finger F.
Referring to FIG. 13 (b), the back screen corresponding to the first layer S1 can be changed in accordance with a drag and drop operation by touching the user. For example, the back screen can be changed from the first page on which the icons belonging to the first group are displayed, to the second page on which the icons belonging to the second group are displayed. If the second layer S2 was involved, then the path of the touch CT would be displayed in accordance with the drag and drop operation by touching the user. However, since the first layer S1 was activated in accordance with the selection of the change menu MI as described above, the user touch operation is applied to the first layer S1. Even if the first layer S1 is activated in accordance with a user touch input and the display of the first screen S1 is changed in accordance with a user touch input, the note written on the second layer S2 can be stored on the display 151.
Referring to FIG. 14 (a), the user can constantly perform the required touch operations on the first layer S1. Since the first layer S1, including the back screen on which the icons are displayed, has been activated, a specific icon on the first layer S1 can be selected, despite the note displayed on the second layer S2. For example, the user can select the contact icon I1 to enter a note written on the second layer S2.
Refer to FIG. 14 (b), when the contact icon I1 is selected on the first layer S1, the controller 180 can execute the application corresponding to the contact icon I1. For example, a contact application may be executed by which a user can enter a new contact. In the following description, an application running on the first layer S1 is considered as a running application EA.
15 (a), when the user selects the term “name” in the EA application being executed, the controller 180 can display a standard keyboard layout with which the user can enter characters for the term “name”.
Referring to FIG. 15 (b), a user can enter a name and a phone number through an executable EA application with reference to a note written on the second layer S2. The user can use the contents of the pre-entered note for the running EA application, while at the same time confirming the note, and thus the user convenience can be enhanced.
16-20 illustrate the operation of functional icons related to the function notes.
As shown in FIGS. 16-20, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 may display AI functional icons by which functions applied to the second layer S2 can be selected on the second layer S2 on which the note function is executed.
Referring to FIG. 16 (a), the controller 180 can display both the first and second functional icons AI1 and AI2 when the second layer S2 is enabled. The first and second functional icons AI1 and AI2 may respectively correspond to the display functions of the previous note and the next note.
16 (b), when a user can select one of the first or second function icons AI1 and AI2 with finger F. For example, a user can select a second function icon AI2 corresponding to the display function of the subsequent note following the current note.
Referring to FIG. 17, the controller 180 may display a subsequent note on the display 151 in response to the touch input of a user selecting the second function icon AI2.
Consider FIG. 18 (a), the controller 180 may display the third functional icon AI3. The third function icon AI3 may correspond to the editing function of the note previously entered through the second layer S2.
Consider Fig. 18 (b), the user can select the third AI3 function icon. As described above, the AI functional icon including the third AI3 functional icon may refer to a specific function of the second layer S2, without a relatively back screen or the currently displayed display screen 151.
Consider Fig. 19 (a), when selecting the third functional icon AI3, a note written on the second layer S2 can be selected. Note selection can be indicated using the indicator of the selection area indicator SA. The user can touch and drag the note indicated by the indicator SA of the selection area using finger F.
Referring to FIG. 19 (b), the controller 180 may move the note in accordance with a user touch and drag operation.
Consider FIG. 20, various editing functions may be performed on a note displayed on the second layer S2.
Consider FIG. 20 (a), the displayed position of the note indicated by the indicator SA of the selection area can be changed by entering a user touch with finger F.
Consider FIG. 20 (b), the user can resize the displayed note by entering a few touches with the first and second fingers F1 and F2. For example, the size of the note can be changed from the size of the first indicator SA1 of the selection area corresponding to the initial state to the size of the second indicator SA of the selection area SA2. The displayed note can be enlarged according to the direction of touch.
Consider FIG. 20 (c), the user can partially delete the note indicated by the first selection area indicator SA1. The mentioned part of the note may be indicated by the second indicator SA2 of the selection area. Part of the displayed note can be changed when the user performs a touch operation by swiping the corresponding part with finger F. And vice versa, a reminder can be added to the previously written note through the editing procedure.
21-24 illustrate the relationship between the screen through which the note function is executed and the screen on which the back screen is displayed.
As shown in FIGS. 21-24, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 may suitably adjust the relative positions of the first layer S1 and the second layer S2.
Consider FIG. 21, the currently executing EA application, and the touch path TT corresponding to the user's touch input, can be displayed on the display 151 by overlapping each other. The running EA application may be displayed in accordance with the execution of the rear screen and / or a specific position. Next, the running EA application is displayed using A, B, and C for convenience. That is, A denotes a screen through which a specific application A is executed, B represents a screen through which a specific application B is executed. The running application EA and the touch path TT can be respectively displayed on the first and second screens S1 and S2. The setting of the screen as a transparent screen can be determined depending on the relative positions of the first and second screens S1 and S2.
Referring to FIG. 22, a second layer S2 may be located on the first layer S1. If the first layer S1 is a back screen containing several pages, then several first layers S1a, S1b and S1c can be provided and between them the screen S1b can be displayed at the moment. That is, the screen S1b may correspond to the running application EA.
When the second layer S2 is located on the first layer S1, the second layer S2 can be displayed in a transparent or translucent form. That is, parts of the second layer S2, other than the contact path TT, can be transparent or translucent.
Therefore, the screen S1b can be seen through the second layer S2.
Referring to FIG. 23, the user can perform a touch operation with the finger F. That is, the user can change the displayed back screen to different rear screens in accordance with the touch operation. By performing user touch operations, the controller 180 may apply the touch operation to the first layer S1. For example, the controller 180 may display the screen S1c instead of the previously displayed screen S1b in accordance with the touch operation. In this case, the screen S1c corresponds to the running application EA.
Referring to FIG. 24, the positions of the first and second screens S1 and S2 can be changed. That is, the first layer S1 may be the upper layer, and the second layer S2 may be the lower layer. If the first layer S1 becomes the upper layer, then a part of the first layer S1 other than the information part may be transparent or translucent. Therefore, the contact path TT of the second layer S2 can be visible through the screen S1b corresponding to the application EA being executed.
25 and 26 illustrate a copy function of content to use content for a note function.
As shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 may copy a specific area of the first layer S1 and display the copied area on the second layer S2.
Consider FIG. 25 (a), the running EA application can be displayed on the display 151. The running EA application can be a card application.
Referring to FIG. 25 (b), the user can perform the quick note function to enter the desired touch path of the TT. In this case, the user can select the desired part of the running application EA displayed on the first layer S1. For example, when you enter a circular path C of a loop-shaped curve with a predetermined size or a specific touch in the form of an 'X' is applied inside the circular path C, the controller 180 may determine that the user selects the circular path C.
Referring to Fig. 26 (a), the user can perform a touch operation on the running application EA in the horizontal direction of the display 151. The horizontal touch operation performed on the running application EA can be indicated by an ID indicator. Thus, the horizontal touch operation changes the first layer S1, that is, it changes the running application EA rather than adding a touch path to the second layer S2.
Consider FIG. 26 (b), the running EA application can be changed from a card application to different applications in accordance with the horizontal touch operation. For example, a map application can be changed to a schedule application to use a written note. In this case, the part of the map application that corresponds to the selected circular path C can be copied to the second layer S2. The user can easily enter the desired content into the schedule with reference to the copied map image.
27-31 illustrate a method for displaying a plurality of second layers.
As shown in FIGS. 27-31, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 may display several second layers in various ways.
Referring to FIG. 27 (a), a user may perform a specific touch operation on the display 151. The specific touch operation may be a touch operation displaying various notes.
Referring to FIG. 27 (b), when a user performs a specific touch operation, the controller can display a second touch path TT instead of the previously displayed first touch path TT1. That is, a specific touch operation may correspond to a change operation of the displayed touch path.
Referring to FIG. 27 (c), when a user performs a specific touch operation, the controller 180 may display a second touch path TT2, along with a previously displayed touch path TT1. That is, a specific touch operation may correspond to the operation of displaying multiple touch paths on one screen.
Referring to FIG. 28, virtual second layers S2 may be located around the display 151. For example, a second layer S2 including a first touch path TT1 may be currently displayed on the display 151, and virtual second layers S2b and S2e may be located around the second screen S2a. The virtual second layers S2a-S2e may respectively include a first to fifth touch path TT1-TT5.
The user can display the desired second layer on the display 151. For example, the user can display the second screen S2b located above the second screen S2a on the display 151 using the down-touch operation. In other cases, the user can display the second screen S2c located to the right of the second screen S2a on the display 151 by a drag-and-drop operation from right to left. The controller 180 may display multiple notes as superposed or display a new note replacing a previously displayed note.
Referring to FIG. 29, displaying several notes in the form of superposed on each other can be considered as overlapping of three or more layers. That is, this can be regarded as the fact that the second screens S2a and S2b, including the first and second touch path TT1 and TT2, are placed on the first layer S1 representing the running application EA. Parts of the second screens S2a and S2b other than the first and second contact paths TT1 and TT2 are transparent or translucent, and thus the first layer S1 can be seen through the second screens S2a and S2b located on the first layer S1.
Referring to FIG. 30 (a), a user can perform a multiple touch operation with the first and second fingers F1 and F2. The multiple touch operation may be a multiple touch of the compressed first and second fingers F1 and F2.
Referring to Fig. 30 (b), after the multiple-touch operation with the compressed fingers, the controller 180 may display several notes M in the form of headings. Thus, notes M can be displayed together on the display 151. In this case, the user can search for previously entered notes faster.
Referring to FIG. 31 (a), the user can perform a specific touch operation with the finger F from the bottom to the top of the display 151.
Consider Fig. 31 (b), for a specific touch operation by the user, the controller 180 may display several notes M three-dimensionally. That is, the second layer S2, including several notes M, can be displayed in three-dimensional form, including several layers. When the user performs a drag-and-drop operation up or down or scrolling, the controller 180 may display several layers in the direction of the drag-and-drop operation. Since the second layer S2 is displayed in the form of several layers, the user can easily find previously entered notes M.
Figures 32-37 illustrate display forms of note content in accordance with an input state.
As shown in FIGS. 32-37, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 can display the touch path of the TT in various ways, so that the visibility of the touch path of the TT increases or the visibility of the running EA application can be prevented due to the touch path of the TT.
Consider FIG. 32 (a), the contact path of the CT can be displayed on the display 151, on which the running EA application is executed, by which contact information is input.
Referring to FIG. 32 (b), a user may touch a specific point in an executing EA application to enter a single item. For example, a user may touch the name element. In this case, the previously entered contact path of the TT can be displayed on the "name" element selected by the user. That is, the path of the touch CT is superimposed on the element selected by the user, and thus the path of the contact TT and the input of characteristics for the element by the user can overlap.
Consider FIG. 33 (a), the controller 180 can change the location of the touch path of the TT so that the touch path of the TT does not overlap with the input element. For example, if the “name” element is awaiting input, the path of the contact path overlaid on the “name” element can be moved down.
Consider FIG. 33 (b), the user can select the “telephone” item with finger F. That is, the user can try entering a phone number.
Consider FIG. 34 (a), when the user selects the “telephone number” element, the controller 180 can change the location of the touch path of the TT so that the touch path of the TT does not overlap the selected element. For example, the user can move the trajectory of the TT touch down. In this form, the location of the path of the contact path TT can be controlled so that the path of the contact path TT does not overlap a specific element in which the user is currently interested, and thus the user's convenience can be improved.
Consider Fig. 34 (b), the controller 180 may change the size of the trajectory of the touch CT. For example, when it is difficult to protect the contact path of the CT from being superimposed on the information displayed below, the size of the contact path of the CT can be reduced. Moreover, the size of the path of the touch CT can be increased based on the input position of the information and the size of the path of the touch CT to be displayed.
Consider Fig. 35 (a), a part of the trajectory of the TT touch can be superimposed on the content of the running application EA. For example, if the color of the content displayed in accordance with the EA application being executed is identical to the color of the touch CT trajectory, then the user may have difficulty separating the content and the touch CT trajectory from each other in the overlapping portion of the content and the touch CT trajectory.
Referring to FIG. 35 (b), the controller 180 may change the color of the overlap portion. For example, the controller 180 may change the color of the path of the contact path TT of the path of the contact path at the overlap area. Thus, the user can easily distinguish the path of the TT touch.
Referring to Fig. 36, the controller 180 can change the darkness of the trajectory of the touch CT in time. For example, the controller 180 can maintain the same darkness of the trajectory of the TT touch to the time t1 and then reduce the darkness of the trajectory of the TT touch with the passage of time after t1.
Consider Fig. 37 (a), the first and second paths TT1 and TT2 can be displayed on the display 151. In this case, the first touch path TT1 may correspond to the note entered before the second touch path TT2.
Consider Fig. 37 (b), the darkness of the first contact path TT1 may vary with time. For example, the darkness of the first touch path TT1 may decrease with time.
Consider Fig. 37 (c), the first contact path TT1 can completely disappear with time. An older note becomes dim or fades over time, allowing the user to easily distinguish between the latest note.
Figs. 38-40 illustrate a call receiving operation while a note function is executed.
As shown in FIGS. 38-40, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 can perform a note function even when a call is received in the process of executing a note function by providing high priority to the note function.
Consider Fig. 38 (a), the user can enter a note with the finger F while the first executable application EA1 is running. Entering a note by the user can be displayed as the path of the TT touch on the display 151.
Consider FIG. 38 (b), a second executable EA application. The running EA2 application can be executed while the user enters a note. The second EA2 application being executed may be a call signaling application. That is, a second running EA2 application may signal a call from a specific user. The second running EA2 application may display the selection buttons B, with which the call can be accepted or rejected.
Consider Fig. 39, information about the received call in accordance with the application EA2 can be displayed on the first layer S1, and the contact path TT corresponding to the user's touch input can be displayed on the second layer S2. When the call is accepted, the controller 180 may display the AI functional icons on the second layer S2, separately from the selection buttons B displayed on the first layer S1. Functional AI icons may include a call accept icon AI3 and a reject call icon AI4. When a call accept icon AI3 or a reject call icon AI4 is selected, the controller 180 may perform a function corresponding to the selected function icon.
Referring to FIG. 40 (a), a screen indicating a received call can be displayed by the AI function icons on the display 151.
Consider Fig. 40 (b), the user can select a specific icon from the AI functional icons and perform the function corresponding to the selected icon. The user may not want to stop the quick note feature when an event is generated, such as receiving a call. For example, the user may skip the time for entering the desired note if the note function ends or is interrupted due to a call, and thus the user may want to constantly use the note function, even when the call is accepted. Additionally, the selection buttons B, which are part of the second running application EA, which signals a received call, can be protected from being mistakenly selected by a touch operation to write a note by separately displaying the AI functional icon, which can be used to check whether the received call is accepted or rejected .
Figures 41-47 illustrate a case where a note function is used while an image is being captured.
As shown in FIGS. 41-47, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 may add a note to the captured image. In connection with this captured image can be effectively controlled.
Referring to FIG. 41, the first user U1 may receive an image of the second user U2 using the camera 121 ′ of the mobile terminal 100.
Referring to FIG. 42, an image of a second user U2 that is captured by the mobile terminal 100 may be displayed on the display 151 in accordance with the EA application being executed. The first user U1 may touch the image of the second user to add a touch path TT to the image. For example, the user may write the name of the second user U2 in the image of the second user U2.
Consider FIG. 43, the path of the contact path entered by the user can be used for different purposes.
The trajectory of the TT touch can be added to the image file as a mark. That is, the trajectory of the TT touch can be used as information that can be added to the image file. When the path of the TT touch matches the name of the person photographed, the path of the TT touch can be used so that the image of a specific person was found using the search marks.
The trajectory of the TT touch can be used as a file name. In particular, the path of the TT touch can be used as the name of the saved image file. In this case, the user can quickly distinguish how the image file is created, because the letters corresponding to the input of the path of the TT touch by the user, instead of the automatically generated serial number, are used as the file name.
The trajectory of the TT touch can be saved as an image. In particular, the touch path TT can be saved by an image captured by the camera 121 ′ of the mobile terminal 100. In this case, the touch path TT can be saved separately from the captured image or saved with the captured image.
Consider FIG. 44 (a), the image file F may include an object corresponding to the captured image and mark. The mark may correspond to the contents of the path of the TT touch entered by the user.
Consider 44 (b), the label may include information about the image file F, such as the date of photographing, etc. In addition, the label may include the contents of the path of the TT touch entered by the user. Thus, it is possible to efficiently search for information included in the image file F based on the label information.
Referring to FIG. 45 (a), the image file F may include an object corresponding to image data and touch paths. The touch path can be saved as its image. The touch path is stored separately from the captured image, and thus only the captured image can be reflected or the touch path can be superimposed on the captured image.
Consider Fig. 45 (b), the image file F can be saved so that an object corresponding to the image data and the touch path is saved as one object. That is, the touch path entered by the user and the captured image can be saved as one object.
Referring to Fig. 46, when the image file F includes an object and a touch path, the touch path can be corrected after touching after saving. For example, it is possible to start entering a first touch path TT1 corresponding to a name, enter a second touch path TT2, including a telephone number at a specific time, and then enter a third touch path TT3, which includes related information at a specific time. This operation can be performed by separately saving the object, that is, the captured image, from the touch path.
Referring to FIG. 47 (a), the controller 180 may add a specific indicator to an image file including a note. For example, if the images are displayed as a thumbnail TH, then the indicator icon II can be added to the image, which includes a note entered by touch of the user.
Referring to FIGS. 47 (b) and 47 (c), the controller 180 can only display the captured image or the superposition of the touch path of the TT on the captured image in accordance with the user's choice and / or the control signal of the controller 180.
Fig. 48 illustrates the operational structure of the mobile terminal shown in Fig. 1.
As shown in FIG. 48, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 may simultaneously use multiple application stacks to display multiple screens.
Controller 180 may construct the infrastructure. The infrastructure may include a window manager and an activity manager.
The window manager may configure the applications displayed on the display 151. For example, the window manager may allocate memory space for an application that should be executed in the background and an application that should be executed in the foreground.
An activity manager can control the activation of a specific application. For example, if the notes application, application A, application B, and application C are configured, then the activity manager can determine among the applications the application to be involved. When the operation B is selected in accordance with the change of the screen using the user operation, the activity manager can change the application A to the standby state and change the application B to the activated state. Even so, the annotation application can be kept in an invoked state all the time. Therefore, the display of the note entered by the user on the display 151 can be supported.
The controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 may simultaneously engage several applications. That is, the controller 180 may additionally activate the note application for quick memorization when the application A is displayed on the display 151. This is different from the conventional application activation technology one by one. Therefore, the display of a note entered by the user can be supported.
The above-described method for controlling a mobile terminal can be written as computer programs and can be implemented in digital microprocessors that execute programs using a computer-readable recording medium. A method for controlling a mobile terminal may be performed by software. The software may include code segments that perform the required tasks. Programs or code segments may also be stored on a computer-readable medium, or may be transmitted in accordance with a computer data signal combined with the medium through a transmission medium or communication network.
A computer-readable recording medium may be any data storage device storing data that can then be read by a computer system. Examples of computer-readable recording media may include read only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), CD-ROM, DVD ± ROM, DVD-RAM, magnetic tapes, floppy disks, optical storage devices.
