Abstract

A display method of a display apparatus is provided. The display method includes displaying an image on a screen, detecting a touch manipulation with respect to the image, and if the touch manipulation is detected, changing a display status of the image according to a physical attribute of the touch manipulation.

Claims (35)

1. A display method of an apparatus, comprising:

displaying a plurality of areas on a screen;

detecting a touch manipulation of a user; and

adjusting a size of the plurality of areas according to the touch manipulation,

wherein the adjusting comprises reducing a size of an area which is located in a direction with reference to a point where the touch manipulation is detected from among the plurality of areas and expanding a size of an area which is located in another direction.

2. The display method of claim 1 , wherein the reducing and expanding occurs substantially simultaneously.

3. The display method of claim 1 , wherein when the touch manipulation ends, the plurality of areas return to their original size.

4. The display method of claim 3 , wherein a velocity of recovery of the plurality of areas to their original size is based on an intensity of pressure of the touch manipulation.

5. The display method of claim 1 , further comprising:

if the touch manipulation is made at a last page, initiating at least an oscillation effect on the screen.

6. The display method of claim 1 , further comprising adjusting at least one from among a shape, a size, and a boundary of only areas substantially close in proximity to where the touch manipulation occurs.

7. The display method of claim 1 , wherein the touch manipulation includes a drag and touch input.

8. A display method of a display apparatus, comprising:

displaying a plurality of areas on a screen;

detecting a touch manipulation on the screen;

adjusting a size of the plurality of areas according to the touch manipulation; and

determining a size of an area affected by the touch manipulation based on an intensity of pressure of the touch manipulation,

wherein the adjusting comprises reducing a size of an area which is located in a direction with reference to a point where the touch manipulation is detected from among the plurality of areas and expanding a size of an area which is located in another direction.

9. The display method of claim 8 , wherein the size of the area which is located in said another direction gets larger as the intensity of the touch manipulation increases.

10. A display apparatus, comprising:

a display configured to display a plurality of areas on a screen;

a detector configured to detect a touch manipulation of a user; and

a controller which, if the touch manipulation is detected, is configured to reduce a size of at least one of the plurality of areas in a direction with reference to a point where the touch manipulation is detected from among the plurality of areas and expand a size of an area which is located in another direction.

11. The display apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the reduction and expansion occurs substantially simultaneously.

12. A display apparatus, comprising:

a display configured to display a plurality of areas on a screen;

a detector configured to detect a touch manipulation of a user; and

a controller which, if the touch manipulation is detected, is configured to adjust at least one from among a shape, a size, and a boundary of only areas in close proximity to where the touch manipulation occurs,

wherein the adjusting the size comprises reducing a size of an area which is located in a direction with reference to a point where the touch manipulation is detected from among the plurality of areas and expanding a size of an area which is located in another direction.

13. A display apparatus, comprising:

a display configured to display a plurality of areas on a screen;

a detector configured to detect a touch manipulation on the screen; and

adjusting a size of the plurality of at least one of the plurality of areas according to the touch manipulation,

wherein the adjusting comprises reducing a size of an area which is located in a direction with reference to a point where the touch manipulation is detected from among the plurality of areas and expanding a size of an area which is located in another direction, and

wherein a size of an area affected by the touch manipulation is determined by an intensity of pressure of the touch manipulation.
