TIMELINE-BASED CONTENT CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS USING DYNAMIC DISTORTION OF TIMELINE BAR, AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING VIDEO AND AUDIO CLIPS USING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A method for controlling an output of content based on a timeline in a timeline-based content control apparatus with a touch screen, comprising:
- generating by a controller and displaying by a touchscreen a linear timeline bar on the touch screen regardless of a size or a duration of content;
detecting by the controller a touch on the timeline bar;
nonlinearly distorting a predetermined section around the touch-detected position on the timeline bar; and
performing a fine search and shifting the distorted section depending on a direction of the user'"'"'s touch.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling content based on a timeline in a timeline-based content control apparatus with a touch screen. The method includes generating and displaying a linear timeline bar on the touch screen regardless of the size of content; detecting contact on the timeline bar; nonlinearly distorting a predetermined section of the timeline bar being displayed around the touch-detected position on the timeline bar; and performing a fine search and shifting the distorted section depending on a direction of the user'"'"'s touch.

16. A timeline-based content control apparatus, comprising:
-
a touch screen that displays a linear timeline bar regardless of a size or a duration of content when the touchscreen detects a touch on a surface displaying the timeline bar while outputting content; a distortion generator configured for nonlinearly distorting a predetermined section of the displayed timeline bar around a predetermined area of the touch-detected position on the timeline bar; and a controller configured for generating and controlling a display of the timeline bar by the touchscreen and for changing a display of a distorted section on the timeline bar or shifting a timeline slider depending a sensed selection gesture corresponding to the shape of the timeline bar; a command unit configured for performing a fine search of the content and shifting the distorted section depending on a sensed direction of a sliding contact on the touchscreen. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
