Abstract
A digital device and a method for controlling the same are disclosed, in which a scroll bar different from that provided when a user input for a front side is detected is provided to control the front side if a digital device, which enables double-sided touch recognition, detects a user input for a rear side.
Claims20
A digital device that enables double-sided touch recognition, the digital device comprising:
- a display unit configured to display contents;
- a sensor unit configured to sense a user input and transfer a signal based on the sensed result to a processor;
- and
- the processor configured to control the display unit and the sensor unit,
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- activate a first scroll bar when a first input signal for a front side is detected, wherein the first scroll bar indicates a relative location of a displayed portion of entire contents and a size of the first scroll bar is dependent on an amount of the contents,
- activate a second scroll bar when a second input signal for a rear side is detected, wherein the second scroll bar indicates a scrolling speed corresponding to the second input signal and a size of the second scroll bar is independent from the amount of the contents and is determined based on the scrolling speed corresponding to the second input signal,
- change the size of the second scroll bar based on a change in the scrolling speed corresponding to the second input signal in response to detecting the change in the scrolling speed corresponding to the second input signal,
- deactivate the second scroll bar if the first scroll bar is activated, and
- deactivate the first scroll bar if the second scroll bar is activated.

A method for controlling a digital device that enables double-sided touch recognition, the method comprising:
- displaying contents;
- activating a first scroll bar when a first input signal for a front side is detected, wherein the first scroll bar indicates a relative location of a displayed portion of entire contents and a size of the first scroll bar is dependent on an amount of the contents;
- activating a second scroll bar when a second input signal for a rear side is detected, wherein the second scroll bar indicates a scrolling speed corresponding to the second input signal and a size of the second scroll bar is independent from the amount of the contents and is determined based on the scrolling speed corresponding to the second input signal;
- and
- changing the size of the second scroll bar based on a change in the scrolling speed corresponding to the second input signal in response to detecting the change in the scrolling speed corresponding to the second input signal,
- wherein the step of activating the first scroll bar includes deactivating the second scroll bar, and the step of activating the second scroll bar includes deactivating the first scroll bar.
