METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING DETAILED INFORMATION DISPLAY FOR SELECTED AREA USING DYNAMIC TOUCH INTERACTION
First Claim
1. An apparatus for controlling an amount of detailed information displayed in a selected area using dynamic touch interaction in a mobile terminal including a touch screen, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store contents to be output through the touch screen as data;
a touch interaction module configured to analyze a user'"'"'s touch input through the touch screen and identify a stipulated touch interaction; and
a control unit configured to control an overall operation of the apparatus according to the user'"'"'s input through the touch screen, and control an amount of subordinate detailed information to be displayed in an area on the touch screen based on a stipulated touch input by the user when the stipulated touch input is identified by the touch interaction module, based on the data stored in the memory.

Abstract
A method and apparatus configured to control the level of detailed information displayed for a selected area using a dynamic touch interaction in a mobile terminal including a touch screen, are provided. The apparatus include a memory that stores contents to be output through the touch screen as data, a touch interaction module that analyzes a user'"'"'s touch input through the touch screen and recognizes a stipulated touch interaction, and a control unit that controls an overall operation of the apparatus according to the user'"'"'s input through the touch screen. The control unit also controls the level of subordinate detailed information displayed in an area, which is designated by the user through a stipulated touch input, to be displayed when the stipulated touch input is recognized through the touch interaction module, based on the data stored in the memory.

4. A method of controlling detailed information display for a selected area using dynamic touch interaction in a mobile terminal including a memory that stores contents to be output through a touch screen as data, and a control unit that controls contents according to a user command to be output based on the data stored in the memory, the method comprising:
-
recognizing touch input of a first pattern input through the touch screen, by a touch module; detecting, by a control unit, an interaction depth of the first touch input when the touch input of the first pattern is recognized; reading, by the control unit, out detailed point of interest (POI) information of depth levels corresponding to the interaction depth detected from the detecting an interaction depth of the touch input; and outputting, by the control unit, contents of the information read from the detailed POI information on the touch screen. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions executed by a processor or controller, the computer readable medium comprising:
-
program instructions that recognize touch input of a first pattern input through the touch screen, by a touch module; program instructions that detect an interaction depth of the first touch input when the touch input of the first pattern is recognized; program instructions that read out detailed point of interest (POI) information of depth levels corresponding to the interaction depth detected from the detecting an interaction depth of the touch input; and program instructions that output a certain level of information read from the detailed POI information on the touch screen based upon the corresponding interaction depth detected.
