The object editing process by multi touch will be described in more detail. When the controller 12 designates one object by the user's first touch on the screen while displaying the objects on the touch screen 13 screen, the controller 12 fixes the position of the object designated by the first touch on the screen. When a second touch for a movement instruction such as flick or scroll is detected on the screen, objects other than the object designated by the first touch are moved on the screen according to the second touch.

As described above, the controller 12 fixes the object designated by the first touch on the screen of the touch screen 13 and flicks or scrolls other objects by the second touch, and then moves the first touch. Swap for performing position movement processing to move the object specified by the to another position selected by the third touch, or swapping and positioning the object designated by the first touch and the other object designated by the third touch. Perform the process.

As described above, the control unit 12 performs a position shifting process of designating and moving the corresponding object displayed on the screen by the user's multi-touch through the touch screen 13 while displaying the objects on the screen of the touch screen 13. By performing the swap processing to change the position of each other by specifying the screen displayed objects or by the corresponding screen, the user can easily edit the object on the screen of the touch screen 13 at high speed.

In the state where objects are displayed on the screen of the touch screen 13, when the user performs multi-touch by the user's multi-touch through the touch screen 13 to perform the position shifting process of designating and moving the object displayed on the screen, the controller ( 12) positions the first touched object by the user on the screen of the touch screen 13, and detects a movement instruction such as a flick or scroll by the user's second touch on the screen of the touch screen 13; After moving the other objects to the vicinity of the desired position, if the position to move the object selected by the first touch is selected by the user's third touch, the first object selected by the first touch is moved to the third touch. Move adjacently to the selected position by the third touch but immediately above or immediately below the selected position by the third touch.

As described above, when the object is moved by designating the object displayed on the screen of the touch screen 13, the user uses the second finger with the other finger while continuously maintaining the first touch on the screen of the touch screen 13 with one finger. After moving the other objects on the screen by flicking or scrolling by touch, the position to be moved by the third touch is selected. In addition, in order to select a position to be moved by the third touch, the user touches the finger of the second touch for a while after moving the other objects by flicking or scrolling by the second touch while maintaining the first touch. and touch the finger of the third touch to the desired position for moving the selected object and then select the desired position for moving the object.

In the case where objects are displayed on the screen of the touch screen 13, when a user performs multi-touch swapping by designating the corresponding objects displayed on the screen by using the multi-touch of the touch screen 13, The control unit 12 fixes the position of the first object designated by the user's first touch on the touch screen 13 screen, and indicates a movement such as flicking or scrolling by the user's second touch on the touch screen 13 screen. After the other objects are moved and moved to the vicinity of the desired second object according to the detection, if the second object to be replaced with the first object is selected by the user's third touch, the first object designated by the first touch and the second object are selected. The positions of the second objects selected by the third touch are interchanged.

As described above, in the case of performing swap swapping by designating objects displayed on the screen of the touch screen 13 to change positions with each other, the user continuously maintains the first touch on the screen of the touch screen 13 with one finger. The second touch with another finger flicks or scrolls to move other objects on the screen, and then selects a position to change by the third touch. In this case, in order to select a position to be changed by the third touch, the user touches the finger of the second touch after moving and moving other objects on the screen by flicking or scrolling by the second touch while maintaining the first touch. Touch and hold (flick your finger away from the screen) for a while, then down & hold the finger of the third touch to the desired change position (i.e. hold your finger for a while), Select. In this way, as the position to be replaced is selected, the first object designated by the first touch and the second object at the selected position to be replaced are swapped with each other so as to be swapped.

The mobile communication terminal 10 according to the present invention having the function as described above is processed as shown in FIG. 2 when the editing process is performed according to the multi-touch through the touch screen 13.

First, in a state where objects are displayed on the screen of the touch screen 13 (S10), the user touches down the screen of the touch screen 13 with a finger. touch down) to detect object selection by the user's first touch (S12).

When the user wants to move the object selected by the first touch on the screen of the touch screen 13 to another position (S14), the position to move the object selected by the first touch is located on the current touch screen 13. Check whether it is displayed on the screen (S16).

In this case, when a position to move the object selected by the first touch is currently displayed on the screen of the touch screen 12, the controller 12 may move the second object to a position where the user moves the object selected by the first touch. When the touch is detected (S26), the object selected by the first touch is moved directly above the object selected by the second touch (S28).

In addition, since the position to move the object selected by the first touch in S16 described above is not currently displayed on the screen of the touch screen 13, the user maintains the first touch on the screen of the corresponding touch screen 13. When a movement instruction such as flicking or scrolling is performed by a second touch using another finger to select a desired position to move the object, the control unit 12 controls the flicking or scrolling by the second touch through the touch screen 13. By detecting the same movement instruction, objects other than the object selected by the first touch displayed on the touch screen 13 are moved (S18).

As described above, the controller 12 displays the object selected by the first touch displayed on the screen of the touch screen 13 as being fixed at the same time as the second touch is operated, but is visually distinguished from other objects. (S20).

In addition, the controller 12 moves the second object through the touch screen 13 in a state where the user moves to another position point to move the object selected by the first touch by moving other objects by the second touch (S22). When one finger detects that the touch-up is performed (S24), and when the user detects a third touch at a position to move the object selected by the first touch (S26), the object selected by the first touch is touched by the third touch. While moving adjacent to the selected object is moved to an adjacent position corresponding to the immediately above or the bottom end selected by the third touch (S28).

Meanwhile, in S14 described above, the user does not want to move the object selected by the first touch on the screen of the touch screen 13 to another position, and swaps the object selected by the first touch with the object at another position. If desired (S30), it is checked whether the object selected by the first touch and the object position to be swapped are currently displayed on the screen of the touch screen 13 (S32).

In this case, when the object selected by the first touch and the object position to be swapped are currently displayed on the screen of the touch screen 13, the controller 12 may adjust the object selected by the first touch to a position to be swapped. When the touchdown and the hold are detected by the two touches (S42), the object selected by the first touch is swapped with the object selected by the second touch by swapping (S44).

In addition, in the above-described S32, the object selected by the first touch and the object position to be swapped are not currently displayed on the screen of the touch screen 13, so that the user maintains the first touch on the screen of the touch screen 13. In the state, when a second touch using another finger is used to select a desired position to swap an object, a control instruction such as a flick or scroll is performed through the touch screen 13. In operation S34, objects other than the object selected by the first touch displayed on the touch screen 13 are detected by detecting the touch screen 13.

As described above, the controller 12 displays the object selected by the first touch displayed on the screen of the touch screen 13 as being fixed at the same time as the second touch is operated, but is visually distinguished from other objects. (S36).

In addition, the controller 12 moves the second object through the touch screen 13 while the user moves to another position point to swap the object selected by the first touch by moving other objects by the second touch (S38). When one finger detects a touch-up (S40), and when the user detects a touchdown and hold by a third touch at a position to swap an object selected by the first touch (S42), the object selected by the first touch And the object selected by the third touch are swapped with each other (S44).

In addition, when the user does not want to swap the object selected by the first touch with an object at another position in S30 described above, the control unit 12 causes the touch screen 13 to operate due to the touch-up of the user. When the user's touch up is detected (S46), the object selected by the first touch is executed or played (S50).

When the mobile communication terminal 10 performs the position movement processing and the swap processing with respect to the object displayed on the screen of the touch screen 13, the mobile communication terminal 10 may be arranged in an arrangement form of the objects displayed on the screen of the touch screen 13. Therefore, it can be variously performed.

For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 3, a case of performing position movement processing on an object existing in a list of MP3 music files to be played by the MP3 player displayed on the screen of the touch screen 13 will be described. see.

First, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), while the user holds the first touch with his finger ① and selects an object corresponding to one MP3 music file, the user touches the second finger with another finger ② to perform other MP3 music. If the objects corresponding to the file are flicked or scrolled, the object corresponding to the MP3 music file selected by the first touch as shown in (c) of FIG. 3 is marked as fixed but is moved by another touch. It is marked as being visually distinguished from the objects, and objects corresponding to other MP3 music files are marked as being moved.

Then, after the user touches the second touched finger in a state where the user moves the other object by the second touch to the position point to which the object selected by the first touch is moved, the user as shown in FIG. When the third touch is performed with the finger ② at the position where the object selected by the first touch is to be moved, the object selected by the first touch is moved adjacent to the object selected by the third touch. In FIG. 3D, the object selected by the first touch is illustrated as being moved directly above the object selected by the third touch. However, the object selected by the third touch is not limited thereto and according to system settings. You can also move it just below.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, a case of performing a swap process on an object existing in a photo list displayed in a plurality of columns on a screen of the touch screen 13 will be described.

First, as shown in (a) of FIG. 4, while the user selects an object corresponding to one photo in the second column from the left by holding the first touch with his finger ①, the other finger ② as shown in (b) of FIG. 4. By flicking or scrolling the objects corresponding to the photos in the third column from the left by the second touch, the objects corresponding to the photos selected by the first touch are marked as fixed, but are moved or not moved by the second touch. The objects corresponding to the pictures in the third column from the left are visually distinguished from each other.

Then, after the user touches the second touched finger in a state where the user moves to the position point where the object selected by the first touch is to be swiped by moving the objects corresponding to the photos of the third column from the left by the second touch, FIG. As shown in (c) of FIG. 4, when the user touches and holds the object selected by the first touch with a third finger by touching the finger ②, the object selected by the first touch as shown in (d) of FIG. The objects selected by the third touch are swapped with each other by changing their positions.

In the above description, the object is moved only in the state in which the objects are arranged in a single column as shown in (a) of FIG. 3, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Object swap processing may also be performed on the arranged and displayed states. In this case, the object selected by the first touch is fixed in position, and if the object is flicked or scrolled by the second touch, other objects except for the object selected by the first touch are moved, and then the object of the position to be swapped is moved. When the display is touched down and held by the third touch, the object selected by the first touch and the object at the position selected by the third touch are swapped by swapping positions.

In addition, in the above description, the object is arranged in a plurality of columns and swapped as shown in FIG. 4A. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the object is divided into a plurality of columns as shown in FIG. It is also possible to perform object position movement processing on the arranged and displayed states. In this case, one object in a column selected by the first touch is fixed in position, and when objects in another column are flicked or scrolled by the second touch, objects in the other column are moved, and then the object of the position to be moved is moved. If the touch is selected by the third touch, the object selected by the first touch is moved to an adjacent position corresponding to immediately above or below the object selected by the third touch.

As described above, in the present invention, object position movement processing and object swap processing may be performed on various arrangement forms of objects displayed on the screen of the touch screen 13. In the case of performing the object position shifting process and the object swapping process on the objects arranged and displayed in a single column as shown in FIG. 3, the flick or scrolling is performed by the second touch while fixing the object selected by the first touch. In this case, by moving the remaining objects except the fixed object according to the second touch to a desired position by the user, the object selected by the first touch is positioned adjacent to the position selected by the third touch of the user. A moving process may be performed, or a swap process of swapping an object at a position selected by the third touch and an object selected by the first touch may be performed.

In addition, when performing the object position shifting process and the object swapping process on the objects arranged and displayed in a plurality of columns as shown in FIG. 4, in the state where the object of the row selected by the first touch is fixed When flicking or scrolling an object in another column by touch, the object is moved to a desired position by moving the object in another column that is flicked or scrolled by the second touch except for the object fixed in the corresponding position, and then by the third touch of the user. A process of shifting an object selected by the first touch adjacent to the selected position is performed, or a swap process of swapping an object at a position selected by the third touch and an object selected by the first touch is performed.

In addition, when performing object position movement processing and object swap processing for the case where objects are arranged and displayed in a plurality of columns as shown in FIG. 4, an object in a column different from the column selected by the first touch is touched by a second touch. Although described as moving by flicking or scrolling, the present invention is not limited thereto, and other objects in the same column as the column where the object is selected by the first touch may be flicked or scrolled by the second touch. The object selected by the first touch among the objects may be fixed and the other objects in the same column may be moved by the second touch.

In addition, when the object is selected by the first touch and other objects are moved according to the second touch, the object selected by the first touch displayed on the screen of the touch screen 13 is positioned and visually distinguished from the other objects. The object selected by the first touch may be displayed in a variety of ways, such as by placing a cursor on an object selected on the first touch or brightly displaying an object selected by the first touch in high light.
