| 20090183202 | METHOD AND APPARATUS TO DISPLAY PROGRAM INFORMATION - A method of displaying program information includes generating at least one representative video by extracting a part from video data of content, extracting at least one piece of additional information from the content, and generating the program information by assembling the generated at least one representative video and the extracted at least one piece of additional information. By using the method, moving picture program information is provided instead of table type program information. Accordingly, a user conveniently selects a desired content, while enjoying a moving picture, compared to a conventional of directly selecting the desired content based on the table type program information. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20100007618 | METHOD AND APPARATUS TO USE A USER INTERFACE - A method to use a user interface includes when the user grips the apparatus in a standard shape, the controller identifies the griping fingers, perceives a commanded function based on the operations of the identified fingers, and executes the perceived function. Thus, a desired application or application function can be easily and quickly executed only by the operation of the fingers even when the handheld device is put in a bag or pocket, or when the user cannot check or handle the screen and buttons of the handheld device because the user is talking on the phone or in conference. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100017710 | METHOD OF INPUTTING USER COMMAND AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS USING THE SAME - A method of inputting user commands, and an electronic apparatus using the same. A method of inputting user commands includes setting a function of an apparatus implemented with a touch screen based on a pressure level input to the apparatus, and if the touch is sensed after setting the function of the apparatus, executing the set function based on the touch. Accordingly, user commands can be input using touch and pressure. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100020030 | METHOD OF MANAGING CONTENT AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS USING THE SAME - A method of managing content and an apparatus using the same are provided. A method of managing content includes sensing a touch on an area on which content is displayed; detecting a pressure intensity of a touched area; and generating supplementary information of the content using the detected pressure intensity. Therefore, supplementary information is set, or content is searched for according to a pressure intensity. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100026640 | ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING USER INTERFACE - An electronic apparatus and method of implementing a user interface according to a pressure intensity of a touch on the electronic apparatus, the method including detecting a position at which the touch is input, identifying the type of object displayed on the position, and detecting the pressure intensity. Accordingly, the user can manipulate electronic apparatuses with greater convenience. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100039412 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING OPERATIONS OF A DISPLAY MODULE IN A PORTABLE TERMINAL - The present invention provides a method and system to control operations of a display module in a portable terminal. The system may include a display unit, motors connected to the display unit, a motor driving unit, and a controller. The system may control the display unit so that a portion of the display unit can be protruded or lowered more than other portions of the display unit according to the changes in the screen of the display unit. The method may include checking whether a screen change occurs on a display unit, and controlling, if the screen change occurs, the display unit so that a portion of the display unit can be protruded or lowered relative to other portions of the display unit. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100060599 | METHOD AND DEVICE TO SEARCH FOR AND EXECUTE CONTENT USING A TOUCH SCREEN - A method and device to search for and execute content are provided. The method of searching for and executing content includes displaying at least one content icon, and identifying, if an approach to one of the at least one content icon is detected, a content icon of a position at which the approach is detected. The method further comprises determining a classification category of a content corresponding to the identified content icon, searching for at least one related content classified in the same classification category as the content corresponding to the identified content icon, displaying the identified content icon and at least one related content icon corresponding to the at least one related content using a preset display method, and executing, if one of the at least one content icon is touched, a content corresponding to the touched content icon. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100085317 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE DEPENDING ON A USER'S CONTACT PATTERN - A graphical user interface (GUI) may be displayed on a display unit in an apparatus which may include a tactile sensor unit. When a contact by a user is detected at the tactile sensor unit, a control unit may receive a contact detection signal therefrom. Based on the contact detection signal, the control unit may determine a contact pattern and may then display the GUI corresponding to the contact pattern. The GUI may be displayed and modified depending on the location and pressure of contacts by a user's manipulating fingers. Therefore, a user can manipulate the apparatus without any inconvenience or accidental touches. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100153876 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING USER INTERFACES - An electronic device and a user interface implementing method therein are disclosed. The method includes displaying at least one content, displaying a shortcut key corresponding to the at least one content if close contact is detected, and executing a function corresponding to the at least one content if the shortcut key is selected. The shortcut key can invoke a function corresponding to the at least one content if an input tool closely approaches the at least one content in an area on the touch screen and is located within a distance from the surface of the touch screen. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100188353 | MOBILE TERMINAL HAVING DUAL TOUCH SCREEN AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING CONTENT THEREIN - A terminal device having a dual touch screen capable of controlling a content is disclosed. The terminal device displays at least one content to a display unit. A processor coupled to the terminal is configured to checking content mapped to an area at which a touch event is detected and released from the dual touch screen including a first touch sensor and a second touch sensor and to control the content according to the touch event. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100194705 | MOBILE TERMINAL HAVING DUAL TOUCH SCREEN AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING USER INTERFACE THEREOF - Provided is a method of displaying a user interface of a portable terminal having a two-sided touch screen where a first touch sensor and a second touch sensor are formed to the front side and the backside of a display unit. The method includes displaying a user interface including at least one of a background screen and at least one or more contents in the display unit. The method also includes changing brightness of the user interface according to a detected state of the portable terminal based on a touch event. | 08-05-2010 |
