Apparatus, method, and computer program for generating cartoon content and apparatus for displaying cartoon content

A method of generating cartoon content, the method comprising:

• receiving a signal of adding a first cut to be included in the cartoon content and comprising one or more layers, wherein an input unit performs the receiving of the signal;
• receiving a type of a first effect applied to the one or more layers, wherein the input unit performs the receiving of the type of a first effect;
• and
• generating a first final cut such that the one or more layers express the first effect by making the first effect correspond to a user event received from a user, wherein a controller performs the generating,
• wherein the receiving of the type of the first effect comprises:
• receiving a directing start location and a directing end location of the first effect in correspondence with the first effect, and
• wherein the generating of the first final cut comprises:
• setting a region between the directing start location and the directing end location of the first effect as a first directing section and generating the first final cut such that the first effect is directed in the first directing section.

An apparatus for displaying cartoon content, the apparatus comprising:

• a display unit configured to display a display region that is the whole or a part of the cartoon content;
• a directing section calculator configured to set a directing section of an effect included in a cut within a directing section included in the display region in consideration of a directing start location and a directing end location of the effect;
• an input unit configured to receive a user event from a user;
• an event processor configured to calculate a moving distance corresponding to the user event;
• and
• a display controller configured to control the effect to be directed from when the directing start location of the effect passes through a reference directing line of the display region while moving the cartoon content by the calculated moving distance, until the directing end location of the effect passes through the reference directing line.
