Mobile communication terminal and information display method thereof
View Patent ↗An information display method in a mobile communication terminal. The method includes displaying information on a display unit of the mobile terminal, generating a scrolling start signal, and scrolling the information with a positive acceleration based on the generated scrolling start signal.
1. A mobile communication terminal comprising:
a table including values related to a scroll distance and information to scroll through;
a touch screen configured to:
display a plurality of items on a display area
display a first item of the plurality of items in a middle position, horizontally, relative to other items of the plurality of items on the display area, when scrolling stops,
display the first item in a front cover view,
display each of the other items of the plurality of displayed items on the left or right, relative to the first item, and at an angle relative to the front cover view of the first item, such that a portion of a front cover of the items not in the middle position are visible, and
display a title or other information related to the other items on an edge portion of the other items; and
a controller, operatively coupled to the touch screen, configured to:
control the touch screen to display, in response to a first scroll input, a second item of the plurality of items in the middle position, relative to the other items of the plurality of displayed items, and in a front cover view with the first item positioned to the left or the right, relative to the second item and displayed, along with the other items of the plurality of items, not including the second item, at an angle relative to the front cover view of the second item; and
determine a distance associated with the first scroll input and scroll the first item, a predetermined amount, based on the determined distance.
2. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control a scrolling speed based on an amount of pressure exerted on a pressure sensor key.
3. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control a scrolling speed based on a length of time pressure is exerted on a pressure sensor key.
4. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine when to stop the information from scrolling based on an initial scrolling speed.
5. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein a scrolling speed is set to one page at a time.
6. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein a scrolling speed is increased then decreased to display information.
7. The mobile communication terminal of claim 6 , wherein the scrolling speed is stopped after the decrease to display information.
8. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of items corresponds to albums.
9. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control a scrolling speed based on a number of presses applied on a pressure sensor key.
10. A method of scrolling in a mobile communication terminal, the method comprising:
storing a table including values related to a scroll distance and an amount of information to scroll through;
displaying a plurality of items on a display area of a touch screen of the mobile communication terminal;
displaying a first item of the plurality of items in a middle position, horizontally relative to other items of the plurality of items on the display area, when scrolling stops;
displaying the first item in a front cover view;
displaying each of the other items of the plurality of displayed items on the left or right, relative to the first item, and at an angle relative to the front cover view of the first item, such that a portion of a front cover is visible;
displaying a title or other information related to the other items on an edge portion of the other items;
displaying, in response to a first scroll input, a second item of the plurality of items in the middle position, relative to the other items of the plurality of displayed items, and in a front cover view with the first item positioned to the left or the right, relative to the second item and displayed, along with the other items of the plurality of items, not including the second item, at an angle relative to the front cover view of the second item; and
determining a distance associated with the first scroll input and scrolling the first item, a predetermined amount, based on the determined distance.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein a scrolling speed is based on an amount of pressure exerted on an input pressure sensor key.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein a scrolling speed is based on a length of time pressure is applied on a pressure sensor key.
13. The method of claim 10 further comprising:
determining when to stop the information from scrolling based on an initial scrolling speed.
14. The method of claim 10 , wherein a scrolling speed is set to one page at a time.
15. The method of claim 10 , wherein a scrolling speed is increased then decreased to display information.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the scrolling speed is stopped after it is decrease to display information.
17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of items corresponds to albums.
18. The method of claim 10 , wherein the controller is further configured to control a scrolling speed based on a number of presses applied on a pressure sensor key.
19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon that when executed by control circuitry cause the control circuitry to:
store a table including values related to a scroll distance and an amount of information to scroll through;
display a plurality of items on a display area of a touch screen of the mobile communication terminal;
display a first item of the plurality of items in a middle position, horizontally relative to other items of the plurality of items on the display area, when scrolling stops;
display the first item in a front cover view;
display each of the other items of the plurality of displayed items on the left or right, relative to the first item, and at an angle relative to the front cover view of the first item, such that a portion of a front cover is visible;
display a title or other information related to the other items on an edge portion of the other items;
display, in response to a first scroll input, a second item of the plurality of items in the middle position, relative to the other items of the plurality of displayed items, and in a front cover view with the first item positioned to the left or the right, relative to the second item and displayed, along with the other items of the plurality of items, not including the second item, at an angle relative to the front cover view of the second item; and
determine a distance associated with the first scroll input and scroll the first item, a predetermined amount, based on the determined distance.
