Abstract

An electronic device according to an embodiment includes: a touch sensitive display unit configured to display one or more pages of a document thereon; and a controller configured for cooperating with the touch sensitive display unit to: receive a touch input applied to the touch sensitive display unit when the one or more pages of a document are displayed on the touch sensitive display unit; display information including a page number of the document on the touch sensitive display unit in response to the touch input; detect a proximity touch input starting from a point of the touch input to another point spaced from the touch sensitive display unit; and determine new information to be changed from the displayed information, based on a position of the another point.

Claims

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a touch sensitive display unit configured to display one or more pages of a document thereon; and

a controller configured for cooperating with the touch sensitive display unit to;

receive a touch input applied to the touch sensitive display unit when said one or more pages of a document are displayed on the touch sensitive display unit;

display information including a page number of the document on the touch sensitive display unit in response to the touch input;

detect a proximity touch input starting from a point of the touch input to another point spaced from the touch sensitive display unit; and

determine new information to be changed from the displayed information, based on a position of said another point.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured for cooperating with the touch sensitive display unit to:

change the displayed information to new information in response to the proximity touch input, wherein information displayed on the touch sensitive display unit is changed according to a progress of the proximity touch input between the point and said another point; and

replace said one or more pages displayed on the touch sensitive display unit with at least a page of the document related to said new information.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said one or more pages displayed on the touch sensitive display unit is replaced with said at least a page of the document when the proximity touch input is changed to a contact touch input applied to the touch sensitive display unit.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 2, wherein a change speed of the displayed information is set differently according to a height of the proximity touch input from the touch sensitive display unit.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured for cooperating with the touch sensitive display unit to:

display, on the touch sensitive display unit, said one or more pages of the document without the new information when said another point is located out of a predetermined range.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a graphical image, to which the touch input is applied, is located at a bottom of the touch sensitive display unit.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the new information includes another page number of the document.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the displayed information further includes a position indicator indicating a position related to said another page number among an entire volume of the document.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the new information further includes at least a word as well as said another page number.

10. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the displayed information and said new information is displayed within said one or more pages.

11. An electronic device, comprising:

a touch sensitive display unit; and

a controller coupled to the touch sensitive display unit and configured to;

display a first page of an electronic document on a first region of the touch sensitive display unit;

receive a touch input on a second region of the touch sensitive display unit, wherein the second region is located at a bottom of the touch sensitive display unit;

display a second page rather than the first page on the first region of the touch sensitive display unit in response to the touch input;

detect a proximity touch input starting from a point of the touch input to another point spaced from the touch sensitive display unit; and

display a third page on the first region of the touch sensitive display unit when the proximity touch input is positioned at said another point, wherein a page displayed on the first region of the touch sensitive display unit is changed according to a progress of the proximity touch input between the point and said another point.

12. The electronic device as claimed in claim 11,

wherein a page change speed is set differently according to a height of the proximity touch input from the touch sensitive display unit.

13. The electronic device as claimed in claim 11, wherein the controller is further configured for cooperating with the touch sensitive display unit to:

return the first page from the second page or the third page when said another point is located out of a predetermined range.

14. The electronic device as claimed in claim 11, wherein the proximity touch input moves in a linear direction from the touch sensitive display unit.

15. The electronic device as claimed in claim 14, wherein the page displayed on the first region of the touch sensitive display unit is moved back to previously displayed pages if a moving direction of the proximity touch input changes from the linear direction into an opposite direction.

16. The electronic device as claimed in claim 11, the pages displayed on the first region of the touch sensitive display unit are sequentially changed by increasing a moving distance of the proximity touch input.

17. The electronic device as claimed in claim 11, wherein the second region is configured to indicate a position of at least one of the first, second and third pages on an entire volume of the document.

18. The electronic device as claimed in claim 11, wherein the third page is determined when the proximity touch input is changed to a contact touch input applied to the touch sensitive display unit.
