Abstract
A mobile terminal with a touch screen includes a browsing and searching system that reproduces the sensation of leafing through a work on paper and a read mode that does not alter the structure or layout of the original page. The main benefit of this solution is that it can be used to read a digital publication in the same manner as the equivalent paper version, both in terms of leafing and reading, while taking account of the technical specifications of the read terminal.

A mobile terminal with a touch screen comprising:
- a storage device on which a plurality of pages are stored;
- a display device configured to display in portrait mode a stack of recto pages ordered in the ascending direction belonging to said plurality of stored pages;
- a pre-loading device configured to pre-load at least two pages following a current recto page N displayed in full on said display device and/or at least two recto pages preceding said current recto page N, said pre-loadings carried out within the limit of the number of recto pages preceding and/or following the current recto page;
- a controller configured to control said display device, the controller comprising
- a detection touch device configured to detect the placement, sliding and lifting of a finger of a user;
- a detecting device configured to detect a target recto page that is defined as being either the current recto page N or a recto page preceding the current recto page N, depending on the detection of the finger placement;
- an executing device configured to execute a rotation and/or translation composite of said target recto page;
- a device for going from the current recto page N to a next recto page N+1 in the stack of recto pages, or to a previous recto page N−1 depending on the detection of the finger lifting;
- a device for going from said next recto page N+1 to a recto page N+2 following said next recto page N+1, while the passage from the current recto page N to the next recto page N+1 is in progress;
- a device for going from said previous recto page N−1 to a recto page N−2 preceding the previous recto page N−1, while the passage from the current recto page N to the previous recto page N−1 is in progress,
- wherein an end of page turning animation displayed on the display device is independent of a control of another page turning animation displayed on the display device and launched while said page turning animation has not ended,
- wherein the mobile terminal is configured so that the passage from the current recto page N to the next recto page N+1 is displayed on the touch screen without displaying a verso of page N and a verso of page N+1.
