Terminal, control method therefor, and recording medium in which program for implementing method is recorded

Abstract

The present invention relates to: a terminal capable of setting a trigger area and outputting additional contents in response to an input of touching the set trigger area; and a control method therefor. The terminal according to the present invention can comprise a touch screen for displaying information and receiving a touch input, and a control unit for performing control so as to output main contents on the touch screen, set a trigger area linked to a plurality of additional contents on the main content, output a list of the plurality of additional contents linked to the trigger area in response to a touch input of touching the trigger area when an edit mode for allowing setting of the trigger area is terminated and a viewer mode is executed, and output first additional contents corresponding to the selected item when any one is selected from the list.

1 . A terminal, comprising:
 a display unit;   a user input receiving unit; and   a control unit configured to switch between an editing mode and a viewer mode for a main content,   wherein, under the editing mode, the control unit is configured to:
 set a first trigger region, linked to a first additional content, on the main content; 
 set a first display region, through which the first additional content is to be displayed under the viewer mode, on the main content, 
   wherein, under the viewer mode, the control unit is configured to:
 output the main content on the display unit; 
 in response to a first user input selecting the first trigger region on the main content, output the first additional content linked to the first trigger region through the first display region set under the editing mode; and 
 in response to a second user input dragging the first additional content, change a location or a size of the first additional content on the main content, and 
   wherein even though the location or the size of the first additional content is changed by the second user input, a location or a size of the first display region set under the edition mode is not changed at all.   
     
     
         2 . The terminal of  claim 1 , wherein, under the editing mode, the control unit is further configured to:
 set the first display region on the main content as a second trigger region linked to a second additional content; and   set a second display region, through which the second additional content is to be displayed under the viewer mode, on the main content,   wherein, under the viewer mode, the control unit is further configured to:
 in response to a third user input selecting the first additional content on the main content, output the second additional content linked to the second trigger region through the second display region set under the editing mode. 
   
     
     
         3 . The terminal of  claim 2 , wherein the second trigger region is activated only when the first additional content is being output on the main content. 
     
     
         4 . The terminal of  claim 1 , wherein, under the editing mode, the control unit is further configured to:
 set a second trigger region, linked to a second additional content, on the main content; and   set a second display region, through which the second additional content is to be displayed under the viewer mode, on the main content,   wherein, under the viewer mode, the control unit is further configured to:
 in response to a third user input selecting an overlapping region between the first trigger region and the second trigger region, output one of the first additional content and the second additional content which has a higher priority than the other. 
   
     
     
         5 . The terminal of  claim 4 , wherein when outputting one of the first additional content and the second additional content is stopped, the priority of the one in which output is stopped becomes the lowest. 
     
     
         6 . The terminal of  claim 1 , wherein, under the editing mode, the control unit is further configured to:
 additionally link a second additional content to the first trigger region to which the first additional content is linked; and   set a second display region, through which the second additional content is to be displayed under the viewer mode, on the main content,   wherein, under the viewer mode, the control unit is further configured to:
 in response to a third user input selecting the first trigger region on the main content, output a list consisting of preview images of the first additional content and the second additional content. 
   
     
     
         7 . A method of controlling a terminal, comprising
 under an editing mode for a main content, setting, on the main content, a first trigger region, linked to a first additional content, and a first display region through which the first additional content is to be displayed under a viewer mode;   switching, for the main content, the editing mode to a viewer mode;   in response to a first user input selecting the first trigger region on the main content outputting under the viewer mode, outputting the first additional content linked to the first trigger region through the first display region set under the editing mode; and   in response to a second user input dragging the first additional content, changing a location or a size of the first additional content on the main content outputting under the viewer mode,   wherein even though the location or the size of the first additional content is changed by the second user input, a location or a size of the first display region set under the edition mode is not changed at all.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises:
 under the editing mode, setting the first display region as a second trigger region, linked to a second additional content, and a second display region, through which the second additional content is to be displayed under the viewer mode, on the main content,   wherein, under the viewer mode, in response to a third user input selecting the first additional content on the main content, the second additional content linked to the second trigger region is output through the second display region.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the second trigger region is activated only when the first additional content is being output on the main content. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises:
 under the editing mode, setting, on the main content, a second trigger region, linked to a second additional content, and a second display region through which the second additional content is to be displayed under the viewer mode,   wherein, under the viewer mode, in response to a third user input selecting an overlapping region between the first trigger region and the second trigger region, one of the first additional content and the second additional content, which has a higher priority than the other, is output on the main content.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein when outputting one of the first additional content and the second additional content is stopped, the priority of the one in which output is stopped becomes the lowest. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises:
 under the editing mode, additionally linking a second additional content to the first trigger region to which the first additional content is linked,   wherein, under the viewer mode, in response to a third user input selecting the first trigger region on the main content, a list consisting of preview images of the first additional content and the second additional content is output.
