Abstract

A method for changing the size and color of a character in a touch input device including a controller and a touch input unit may be provided. The method includes: selecting, by the controller, a predetermined character in a display of the touch input unit; generating, by the controller, a pop-up window for changing at least one of the color and size of the selected predetermined character and displaying the generated pop-up window on the display; and changing, by the controller, at least one of the color and size of the selected character into at least one of the color and size selected by an object, and displaying the changed character on the display.

Claims

1. A method for changing the size and color of a character in a touch input device comprising a controller and a touch input unit, the method comprising:

selecting, by the controller, a predetermined character in a display of the touch input unit;

generating, by the controller, a pop-up window for changing at least one of the color and size of the selected predetermined character and displaying the generated pop-up window on the display; and

changing, by the controller, at least one of the color and size of the selected character into at least one of the color and size selected by an object, and displaying the changed character on the display.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein, in the generating and displaying the pop-up window, when the object separates from the touch input unit after the character is selected, the controller displays the pop-up window on the display of the touch input unit.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein, in the generating and displaying the pop-up window, when the object presses the display of the touch input unit by a pressure higher than a first reference pressure after the character is selected, the controller displays the pop-up window on the display of the touch input unit.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the pop-up window comprises a plurality of size reference characters representing the size of the selected character and comprises at least two color selectors displaying mutually different colors.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein, when the object presses any one among the reference characters and the color selectors which are displayed in the pop-up window by a pressure higher than a first reference pressure, the controller displays a selection box for any one among the reference characters and the color selectors on the display of the touch input unit.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein, when the object touches any one among the reference characters and the color selectors which are displayed in the pop-up window by a pressure less than a first reference pressure, the controller displays a selection box for any one among the reference characters and the color selectors on the display of the touch input unit.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein the selection box comprises a plurality of the reference characters smaller than the reference character selected by the object, and the plurality of the reference characters are listed in order of size.

8. The method of claim 5, wherein the selection box comprises various fonts representing the reference character selected by the object.

9. The method of claim 5, wherein the selection box comprises colors similar to the color selected by the object, and the similar colors are listed on the basis of brightness or saturation.

10. The method of claim 1,

wherein the pop-up window comprises a selector for changing the size or color of the selected character;

and

wherein, when the object presses the selector by a pressure higher than a first reference pressure, the controller changes the size or color of the character in response to the magnitude of the pressure applied by the object.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein, when the object maintains the pressure higher than the first reference pressure for a predetermined time, the controller changes the size or color of the character into a size or color corresponding to the magnitude of the pressure higher than the first reference pressure immediately after the predetermined time.

12. The method of claim 1,

wherein the pop-up window comprises a selector for changing the size or color of the selected character;

and

wherein, when the object presses the selector displayed in the pop-up window by a pressure higher than a first reference pressure, the controller displays a selection box for the selector on the display of the touch input unit.

13. The method of claim 1,

wherein the pop-up window comprises a selector for changing the size or color of the selected character;

and

wherein, when the object touches the selector displayed in the pop-up window by a pressure less than a first reference pressure, the controller displays a selection box for the selector on the display of the touch input unit.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein, when the object touches any one character or color within the selection box, the controller changes the size or color of the selected character.

15. The method of claim 12, wherein the selection box comprises a plurality of reference characters smaller than a reference character displayed in the selector, and the plurality of the reference characters are listed in order of size.

16. The method of claim 12, wherein the selection box comprises various fonts representing a reference character displayed in the selector.

17. The method of claim 12, wherein the selection box comprises colors different from the color displayed in the selector, and the different colors are listed on the basis of brightness or saturation.

18. The method of claim 13, wherein, when the object touches any one character or color within the selection box, the controller changes the size or color of the selected character.

19. The method of claim 13, wherein the selection box comprises a plurality of reference characters smaller than a reference character displayed in the selector, and the plurality of the reference characters are listed in order of size.

20. The method of claim 13, wherein the selection box comprises various fonts representing a reference character displayed in the selector.
