Patent Images
1. A method for controlling a playback of content by using a timeline, comprising:
- displaying the timeline which is synchronized with the content on a display;
in response to detecting a touch input to the timeline, upscaling a display zoom ratio for a partial area of the timeline while the touch input is maintained and stationary, wherein the partial area includes a position where the touch input is received;
in response to detecting movement of the maintained touch input along the timeline, terminating upscaling and maintaining a present display zoom ratio of the partial area, and retrieving a portion of the content for display according to the movement of the maintained touch input; and
in response to detecting release of the touch input from the timeline, reverting the partial area to an original display ratio before the upscaling.

9. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a display allowing a playback of content using a timeline-based interface displayed thereon, and including a touch sensitive surface configured to receive a touch input on the displayed timeline; and at least one processor, configured to; in response to detecting the touch input to the timeline, upscale a display zoom ratio for a partial area of the timeline while the touch input is maintained and stationary, wherein the partial area includes a position where the touch input is received, in response to detecting movement of the maintained touch input along the timeline, terminate upscaling to maintain a present display zoom ratio of the partial area, and retrieve a portion of the content for display according to the movement of the maintained touch input, and in response to detecting release of the touch input from the timeline, revert the partial area to an original display ratio before the upscaling. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 19)

14. A system, comprising:
-
a touch screen configured to receive touch inputs; at least one processor; and a computer readable storage medium coupled with the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor configured to; display on a display at least a portion of content and a timeline which is synchronized with the content; in response to detecting a touch input on the displayed timeline, upscale a display zoom ratio of a partial area of the timeline while the touch input is maintained and stationary, wherein the partial area includes a position where the touch input is received, in response to detecting movement of the maintained touch input along the timeline, terminate upscaling to maintain a present display zoom ratio of the partial area, and retrieve a portion of the content for display according to the movement of the maintained touch input, and in response to detecting release of the touch input from the timeline, revert the partial area to an original display ratio before the upscaling. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 20)
