Abstract

Provided are a method for viewing a presentation document in a mobile device and a system thereof. The method includes the steps of: determining an orientation of screen according to a sensing signal from a gravity sensor; displaying slide thumbnails of the presentation document at the lower part of the screen in a horizontal arrangement when the screen orientation is portrait; and displaying the slide thumbnails of the presentation document at the left part or the right part of the screen in a vertical arrangement when the screen direction is landscape. When a user opens a presentation document, the method for viewing a presentation document in a mobile device according to the present invention switches display mode of slide thumbnails in the presentation document automatically according to the screen orientation sensed by a gravity sensor, thereby being able to display the slide thumbnails in a more suitable manner according to different screen orientations, and facilitating the viewing and operation of the presentation by a user. The display manner in the method of the present invention better conforms to the psychological expectation of users, and can result in a better user experience.
