TIMELINE-BASED CONTENT CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS USING DYNAMIC DISTORTION OF TIMELINE BAR, AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING VIDEO AND AUDIO CLIPS USING THE SAME

摘要

A method for controlling content based on a timeline in a timeline-based content control apparatus with a touch screen. The method includes generating and displaying a linear timeline bar on the touch screen regardless of the size of content; detecting contact on the timeline bar; nonlinearly distorting a predetermined section of the timeline bar being displayed around the touch-detected position on the timeline bar; and performing a fine search and shifting the distorted section depending on a direction of the user's touch.
