Abstract

A method of writing content through a writing input on a touch screen is provided. The method includes displaying written input content according to a writing input detection and identifying whether there is a proofreading mode control, and when there is the proofreading mode control, entering a proofreading mode, displaying the written input content according to the writing input detection, identifying a proofreading mark in the written input content, and applying an editing content corresponding to the proofreading mark, so as to proofread the written content.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of writing content through a writing input on a touch screen, the method comprising:
displaying written input content according to a writing input detection and identifying whether there is a proofreading mode control; and
when there is the proofreading mode control:
entering a proofreading mode,
displaying the written input content according to the writing input detection,
identifying a proofreading mark in the written input content, and
applying an edit corresponding to the proofreading mark, so as to proofread the written content,
wherein a type of edit applied is based on the proofreading mark,
wherein the applying of the edit based on the proofreading mark includes removing the proofreading mark after the edit is applied while maintaining the edit,
wherein the proofreading mark includes at least one of an “insertion proofreading mark” indicating a content insertion, a “replacement proofreading mark” indicating a content replacement, a “slope proofreading mark” indicating proofreading of a slope of a part corresponding to a character string including a plurality of characters in the written content, and a “paragraph alignment proofreading mark” indicating a paragraph alignment, and
wherein, in a proofreading operation according to the slope proofreading mark, a form connecting the character string including the plurality of characters in the written content by one line is recognized as the slope proofreading mark and the characters are moved and rotated in a direction making slopes of the characters become 0 based on a stroke of the recognized slope proofreading mark as a guideline.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the entering of the proofreading mode comprises:
displaying the written input content according to the writing input detection;
determining whether there is a matching proofreading mark in the written input; and
when it is determined that there is a matching proofreading mark in the written script,
proofreading a current written input content according to a proofreading function corresponding to the matching proofreading mark and the written content to be proofread, and
displaying the proofread written input content.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the determining of whether there is the matching proofreading mark comprises identifying N strokes as the proofreading mark when entering a proofreading mode.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein N is 1.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein, when it is determined that there is a matching proofreading mark in the written input, an area around the matching proofreading mark is set as a proofreading area and the proofreading area is displayed while being expanded.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the proofreading mode control corresponds to selection of a menu item from a menu bar on a screen for a writing input to enter the proofreading mode.

7. The method of claim 2 , wherein the proofreading mode control corresponds to an input of a control button of an electronic pen or maintained input of the control button of the electronic pen.

8. A machine-readable non-transitory storage medium recording a program for performing the method of claim 2 .

9. A portable terminal comprising the machine-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 8 .

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in a proofreading operation according to the insertion proofreading mark, at least one of a size and a slope of the written content to be proofread is changed such that at least one of a size and a slope of a proofreading content to be inserted match a pre-input written content.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in a proofreading operation according to the replacement proofreading mark, at least one of a size and a slope of the written content to be proofread is changed such that at least one of a size and a slope of a proofreading content to replace a pre-input written content match the pre-input written content.

12. A method of writing content through a writing input on a touch screen, the method comprising:
displaying written input content according to a writing input detection and identifying whether there is a proofreading mode control; and
when there is the proofreading mode control:
entering a proofreading mode,
displaying the written input content according to the writing input detection,
identifying a proofreading mark in the written input content, and
applying an edit corresponding to the proofreading mark, so as to proofread the written content,
wherein a type of edit applied is based on the proofreading mark,
wherein the applying of the edit based on the proofreading mark includes removing the proofreading mark after the edit is applied while maintaining the edit,
wherein the proofreading mark includes at least one of an “insertion proofreading mark” indicating a content insertion, a “replacement proofreading mark” indicating a content replacement, a “slope proofreading mark” indicating proofreading of a slope of a part corresponding to a character string including a plurality of characters in the written content, and a “paragraph alignment proofreading mark” indicating a paragraph alignment, and
wherein, in a proofreading operation according to the slope proofreading mark, a form connecting the character string including the plurality of characters in the written content by one line is recognized as the slope proofreading mark and the plurality of characters are moved and rotated in a direction matching slopes of the plurality of characters with a calculated slope of a guideline based on a stroke of the recognized slope proofreading mark as the guideline.

13. An apparatus for writing content through a writing input on a touch screen, the apparatus comprising:
an input detection panel configured to:
detect a writing input, and
identify whether there is a proofreading mode control;

a display panel configured to display written input content according to a detected writing input; and
a controller configured to, when there is the proofreading mode control:
enter a proofreading mode,
control to display the written input content according to the writing input detection,
identify a proofreading mark in the written input content, and
apply an edit corresponding to the proofreading mark, so as to proofread the written content,

wherein a type of edit applied is based on the proofreading mark,
wherein the applying of the edit based on the proofreading mark includes removing the proofreading mark after the edit is applied while maintaining the edit,
wherein, in a proofreading operation according to the insertion proofreading mark, the controller is further configured to change at least one of a size and a slope of the written content to be proofread such that at least one of a size and a slope of a proofreading content to be inserted match a pre-input written content, and
wherein, in a proofreading operation according to the slope proofreading mark, the controller is further configured to:
recognize a form connecting the character string including the plurality of characters in the written content by one line as the slope proofreading mark, and
move and rotate the characters in a direction making slopes of the characters become 0 based on a stroke of the recognized slope proofreading mark as a guideline.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
enter the proofreading mode by controlling to display the written input content according to the writing input detection,
determine whether there is a matching proofreading mark in the written input,
proofread a current written inp
