Alternatively, the speed of change of the output page may be set differently according to the height of the finger 110. That is, when the finger 110 is positioned between X1 and X2 with respect to the X2 height, the output page is changed to the right side of the bookcase, and if X2 or less, the bookcase can be moved toward the left side.

At this time, the rate of change of the book window can be changed according to the position of the finger 110, that is, depending on the distance from X2.

In the sixth embodiment of the present invention, the preview mode execution command and the release command can be input by various methods as described above. In other words, when a finger 110 touches the screen in the preview mode, it can be recognized as a page selection command, and if the user's finger is out of the X1 range, it can be recognized as a preview mode release command.

Meanwhile, although not shown in the drawings, the seventh embodiment of the present invention is an embodiment in which a touch panel capable of sensing the touch pressure is employed as the touch input unit.

In the sixth embodiment, the display form on the output screen is the same, such as a change form of the output page, a return form to the viewer mode upon release of the preview mode, and a form when the page is moved.

However, the touch pressure is added as one of the input vectors of the user command.

For example, in the same form as that of the first embodiment of the present invention, the page selection command can be generated when the touch pressure is greater than or equal to a preset value and the touch moves in a predetermined direction. In this case, the user may feel like turning over an actual bookcase.

In the preview mode, when the output page is continuously changed, the speed of the change can be determined according to the touch pressure.

It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment, but is capable of many modifications and variations within the scope of the appended claims. It is self-evident.

The present invention relates to an electronic document reproduction apparatus and an electronic document reproduction method for supporting preview function in outputting an electronic book, and in accordance with the present invention, it is possible to search contents of front and back pages by a method similar to a case where a user reads an actual book There is an advantage that it can go to the corresponding page or return to the original page.
