Abstract

A portable apparatus and a method of displaying at least one of object of the same are provided. The portable apparatus for displaying at least one of object includes using a touch and/or a touch gesture and a method of displaying a reproduction list of the portable apparatus. A portable apparatus for displaying at least one object which is scrolled at a relative velocity in response to a direction of the touch gesture in a page including at least one application by means of the touch and/or the touch gesture is provided. A method of displaying a reproduction list of the portable apparatus is also provided.

Claims

1. A method of displaying at least one of object of a portable apparatus, the method comprising:

displaying a page including at least one of object on a touch screen;

detecting a continuous movement of a touch in the page; and

displaying the at least one of object moving at a relative velocity, in response to the continuous movement of the touch.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the object comprise at least one of a text, an image, an audio, and a video.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the continuous movement of the touch corresponds to the page being scrolled in an upward, downward, left or right direction on the basis of a detected position of the touch.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein, when the continuous movement of the detected touch is performed in an upward or downward direction, the displaying of the at least one of object comprises displaying a first object of the at least one of object that has a relative velocity which is determined in correspondence to at least one of a vertical length of the first object and a vertical length of the page.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein, when the continuous movement of the detected touch is performed in an upward or downward direction, the displaying of the at least one of objects comprises displaying a first object of the at least one of object that is moved slowly relative to another object, and

wherein the other object has a vertical length that is longer than a vertical length of the first object.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein, when the continuous movement of the detected touch is performed in a left or right direction, the displaying of the at least one of object comprises displaying a second object of the at least one of object so as to have a relative velocity which is determined in correspondence to one of a vertical length of the second object and a horizontal length of the page.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein, when the continuous movement of the detected touch is performed in a left or right direction, the displaying of the at least one of object comprises displaying a second object of the at least one of object is moved slowly relative to another object, and

wherein the other object has a horizontal length that is longer than a horizontal length of the second object.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein relative velocities of the at least one of objects are determined in correspondence to positions of the at least one of object arranged in the page.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein object group which are respectively generated by grouping at least one of object have an identical relative velocity.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the object group comprise the at least one object arranged together in a region of a layout of the page.

11. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the displaying of the at least one of object comprises determining whether a third object, which moves at a relative velocity, among the at least one of object overlaps a fourth object, which moves at a relative velocity and which neighbors the third object.

12. The method as claimed in claim 11, wherein, when the third object gradually approaches the fourth object to overlap and stops, the third object has the relative velocity substantially identical to the relative velocity of the fourth object.

13. The method as claimed in claim 11, wherein, when the third object gradually approaches the fourth object to overlap, the third object has the relative velocity to be changed in correspondence to the relative velocity of the fourth object.

14. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein a feedback is provided when the page is changed to another page succeeding to the page in correspondence to the continuous movement of the touch.

15. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising displaying a mini map at an upper portion of a side of the page.

21. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to perform the method of claim 1.

16. A portable apparatus comprising:

a touch screen configured to display a page including at least one object; and

a controller configured to control the touch screen, wherein the controller detects a touch on a page displayed on the touch screen and enables the touch screen to display the at least one object moving a relative velocity in correspondence to a continuous movement of the detected touch.

17. The portable apparatus as claimed in claim 16, wherein the controller calculates the relative velocity of the at least one object, and displays at least one object moving the calculated relative velocity on a basis of a continuous moving distance of the touch.

18. The portable apparatus as claimed in claim 16, wherein, when a first object approaches a second object to overlap and temporarily stops, the controller controls the first object to have a relative velocity substantially identical to that of the second object.

19. The portable apparatus as claimed in claim 16, wherein, when a first object approaches a second object to overlap and temporarily stops, the controller controls the first object to have a relative velocity depending on the relative velocity of the second object.

20. The portable apparatus as claimed in claim 16, wherein the controller controls the touch screen to provide at least one of a tactile feedback and an auditory feedback in response to the continuous movement of the touch.
