Abstract
Provided are a method and device for displaying content. The method includes: receiving, by a device, a setting input for reference content while content is displayed on a screen; displaying, on the screen of the device, a division line indicating division of the content included in a page that received the setting input; receiving a selection input on content divided based on the division line; and setting, as the reference content, the content selected based on the selection input.
Claims29
A method of displaying content by using a device, the method comprising:
- receiving a setting input for reference content via a user input interface of the device when content is displayed on a display of the device;
- displaying, on the display, a division line indicating division of the content based on layout information of the content included in a page that received the setting input;
- receiving a selection input for a content from among contents divided based on the division line via the user input interface;
- and
- displaying, on a second window of the display, the content selected based on the selection input as the reference content,
- wherein the second window of the display is independent from a first window of the display on which the content is displayed, such that the content of the first window is moved independently of the reference content of the second window,
- wherein a display layer of the second window is different than the display layer of the first window, and in response to the display layer of the second window being higher than the display layer of the first window, the content of the first window comprises content that is hidden by the reference content of the second window and content that is not hidden by the reference content, and
- wherein the method further comprises, in response to receiving a hiding request input for the reference content via the user input interface, setting the display layer of the second window to be lower than the display layer of the first window such that the first window completely hides the second window, and displaying an indicator at an edge of the first window that indicates a hidden state of the second window while the second window is completely hidden.

A device comprising:
- a user input interface configured to receive a setting input for reference content;
- a display;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive the setting input for the reference content while content is displayed on the display via the user input interface;
- control the display to display, on the display, a division line indicating division of the content based on layout information of the content included in a page that received the setting input;
- receive a selection input for a content from among contents divided based on the division line via the user input interface;
- and
- control the display to display, on a second window, content selected based on the selection input as the reference content,
- wherein the second window of the display is independent from a first window of the display on which the content is displayed, such that the processor is configured to move the content of the first window independently of the reference content of the second window, and
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- control a display layer of the second window to be different than the display layer of the first window, and in response to the display layer of the second window being higher than the display layer of the first window, the content of the first window comprises content that is hidden by the reference content of the second window and content that is not hidden by the reference content;
- and
- in response to receiving a hiding request input for the second window through the user input interface, set the display layer of the second window to be lower than the display layer of the first window such that the first window completely hides the second window, and control the display to display an indicator at an edge of the first window that indicates a hidden state of the second window while the second window is completely hidden.
