A terminal and method for performing a memo function using an input device {TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING MEMO FUNCTION USING TOUCH PEN}

The present invention relates to a terminal and a method for performing a memo function using an input device, and more particularly, to a terminal and a method for performing a memo function during execution of a specific application as a hovering event by a touch pen or a finger occurs. It is about.

Portable terminals are widely used based on mobility. In particular, mobile communication terminals capable of making voice calls while moving among the portable terminals are very popular portable terminals used by the majority of the people. Meanwhile, the mobile terminal supports not only a mobile communication function but also various user functions such as a file play function, a file search function, a file edit function, and the like. The user can operate the above-described various functions by using the portable terminal.

However, in the case of a portable terminal, the size of the portable terminal is limited in order to support portability. As a result, the size of the display area displaying information is relatively small compared to a general TV monitor. There is a disadvantage in that it is not easy to perform various user inputs based on such a small display. In response to this, conventionally, an input device is provided using a touch pen such as a stylus pen in addition to a touch of a user's finger. The user may use a finer touch or the like by using the touch pen. By using the touch pen, the user can select a menu icon displayed on the touch screen of the mobile terminal, and drive and use an application corresponding to the selected menu icon.

For example, if a conventional portable terminal selects a schedule management menu icon for a schedule application on a touch screen through an input unit, the conventional mobile terminal drives an application corresponding to the selected schedule management menu icon and displays the driven schedule application screen. In this case, the schedule application screen includes a plurality of date areas corresponding to a specific month. After that, when a request for inputting a schedule on a specific date is requested, the conventional mobile terminal displays a schedule input screen for the requested date, and when the input of the schedule data through the input means is completed, the portable terminal stores the input schedule for the corresponding date. .

As described above, the conventional portable terminal drives a schedule application through an input means, displays a schedule input screen for a specific date according to a request, and stores the input schedule data.

However, in the related art, when a user wants to input memo data such as handwriting on a specific date, the user drives the memo application to generate memo data and stores the memo data. There was a hassle to attach.

In addition, conventionally, when a user wants to input memo data for a specific date, the touch screen screen of the mobile terminal is small, so that a plurality of schedule areas displayed on the touch screen are displayed small. There was a difficulty in checking the memo data.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a terminal and a method for performing a memo function for directly generating and storing memo data for a specific date when a certain application is driven using an input device such as a touch pen or a finger.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a terminal for performing a memo function using an input device, the touch screen panel recognizing a state of the input device, a storage unit storing data for a schedule application, and the schedule application. When the execution is performed, a schedule management screen including a plurality of schedule regions is displayed, and when a hovering event generated by the input device is detected in a specific schedule region among the plurality of schedule regions by the touch screen panel, the schedule management screen is displayed. A corresponding memo input screen is displayed, and when a memo input is completed, the control unit stores the memo data corresponding to the specific schedule area and stores the memo data.

In addition, the present invention provides a method for performing a memo function using an input device, when a schedule application is executed, displaying a schedule management screen including a plurality of schedule areas, and in a specific schedule area of the plurality of schedule areas; Displaying a memo input screen corresponding to the specific predetermined area when a hovering event is detected by the input device; and storing the memo data corresponding to the specific certain area when the memo input is completed; It is characterized by.

The present invention has the advantage that when using a function for recording a schedule, such as a schedule application, the user can run the memo application to store the memo, and directly input and store the memo for a specific date without the hassle of attaching it to the schedule .

In addition, the present invention has the advantage that the user can input and store the desired memo data without restriction on the size of a certain area in the schedule application screen.

For example, when a hovering event by the stylus pen occurs in the recognition area included in the date area of January 8, the controller 110 requests a note area for executing a memo on the recognition area of January 8 as shown by reference numeral 701. Change to (711). In this case, the request area 711 is an area for determining whether a hovering event for a memo input request occurs and may be displayed in a preset color.

In FIG. 8, when a pen touch is recognized from the request area 711, the controller 110 executes the memo application as shown by reference numeral 800 of FIG. 8 to display the memo application screen 801 on the schedule application screen.

When a pen touch is recognized in the memo application screen 801, the controller 110 activates the memo input screen 811 as shown by reference numeral 810. The memo input screen 811 includes an area for memo input and an icon for storing and canceling input memo data.

In FIG. 9, when memo data is input to a memo input area by a stylus pen, the controller 110 displays the memo data “Birthday Party” input as shown by reference numeral 900 on the memo input area, and touches a pen on a storage icon. If is detected, the input memo data corresponding to the date area of January 8 is stored in the storage unit 175.

The controller 110 may display the preview data 911 of the memo data stored as the reference numeral 910 on the January 8 date area, and display an indicator 912 indicating that the memo data is stored in the specific date area. have. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a part of the recognition area of the January 8 date area is displayed in a specific color. However, the indicator may be displayed in various ways in addition to the above method.

When a pen touch is detected from the indicator displayed on the January 8 date area, the controller 110 displays a memo display screen 1001 for displaying memo data stored corresponding to the January 8 date area as shown by reference numeral 1000 of FIG. 10. ) Is displayed. The memo display screen 1001 may include an area for displaying memo data and icons for modifying and deleting stored memo data.

When the pen touch on the memo data correction icon 1002 is detected, the controller 110 switches the memo display screen 1001 to the memo correction screen 1011 as shown by reference numeral 1010, and touches the pen on the save icon 1012. Is detected, the modified memo data "Birthday Party V" corresponding to the date area of January 8 is stored in the storage unit 175.
