Abstract
An apparatus and a method for processing a split view in a portable device. The method of processing a split view in a portable device, includes: displaying a plurality of applications as a split view corresponding to split display regions of a display unit; displaying an input panel on a display region of an application of the plurality of applications that did not call for the input panel when the input panel is called; and processing data input through the input panel by an application calling the input panel.
Claims27
An apparatus for processing a split view in a portable device, comprising:
- a display unit for displaying a display screen;
- an input unit for receiving an input;
- and
- a controller for:
- displaying a display screen having at least a first region and a second region, the first region being displayed below the second region, wherein a first application is related to the first region and a second application is related to the second region,
- in response to a request input in the second region, shifting the first region and second region in a particular direction to remove a portion of the first region from display, and displaying an input panel in an area from which the second region is shifted, wherein first data input through the input panel is processed by the second application, and
- in response to a second request input in the first region, displaying the input panel on at least a portion of the second region, wherein second data input through the input panel is processed by the first application.
A method in a portable device, comprising:
- displaying a display screen having at least a first region and a second region, the first region being displayed below the second region, wherein a first application is related to the first region and a second application is related to the second region;
- in response to a first request input in the second region, shifting the first region and the second region in a particular direction removing a portion of the first region from display, and displaying an input panel in an area from which the second region is shifted, wherein first data input through the input panel is processed by the second application;
- and
- in response to a second request input in the first region, displaying the input panel on at least a portion of the second region, wherein second data input through the input panel is processed by the first application.
An apparatus for processing a split view in a portable device, comprising:
- a display unit for displaying a display screen;
- an input unit for receiving an input;
- and
- a controller for:
- displaying a display screen having at least a first region and a second region, the first region being displayed below the second region, wherein a first application is related to the first region and a second application is related to the second region,
- in response to a request input in the second region, shifting a display of first region in a particular direction while maintaining a display of second region causing a portion of the first region from being displayed from the display screen and displaying an input panel in an area from which the first region is shifted, and
- in response to a request input in the first region, shifting a display of the first region and the second region in a particular direction causing a portion of the second region from being displayed from the display screen and displaying the input panel in the area from which the first region is shifted,
- wherein data input through the input panel is processed by the first application when the request is received in the first region, and processed by the second application when the request is received in the second region.
A method in a portable device, comprising:
- displaying a display screen having at least a first region and a second region, the first region being displayed below the second region, wherein a first application is related to the first region and a second application is related to the second region;
- in response to a request input in the second region, shifting a display of first region in a particular direction while maintaining a display of second region causing a portion of the first region from being displayed from the display screen and displaying an input panel in an area from which the first region is shifted;
- and
- in response to a request in the first region, shifting a display of the first region and the second region in a particular direction causing a portion of the second region from being displayed from the display screen and displaying the input panel in the area from which the first region is shifted,
- wherein data input through the input panel is processed by the first application when the request is received in the first region, and processed by the second application when the request is received in the second region.
