| 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 |
| 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 |
| 20100103133 | INPUT DEVICE FOR FOLDABLE DISPLAY DEVICE AND INPUT METHOD THEREOF - An input apparatus including an electronic pen and a terminal having a foldable display unit is provided. An electronic pen generates an ultrasonic signal and an infrared signal. A terminal detects the ultrasonic signal and the infrared signal and calculates coordinate information of the electronic pen based on the received ultrasonic signal and the infrared signal. The terminal determines coordinate information of the electronic pen with respect to the foldable display unit by measuring a folding angle of the foldable display unit. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100127997 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A USER INTERFACE - A device and method for providing a user interface using information is provided. The device includes a display unit, a sensor and a controller. The display unit displays at least one graphic user interface (GUI). The sensor generate sa sensor signal according to a user's finger touch input. The controller receives the sensor signal from the sensor, identifies a touch area and an adjacent area based on the received sensor signal, generates touch finger shape-based information according to the identified touch area and the identified adjacent area, and controls the display unit to display the GUI according to the generated finger shape-based information. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100149135 | INPUT METHOD AND SYSTEM USING OPTICAL POINTER FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An input method for an electronic device and a related input system are provided. When an optical pointer irradiates light rays with a specific pattern, photo sensors disposed in a display unit of the device detect the irradiated light rays. The device determines and generates pattern information corresponding to a pattern of the light rays, a pattern direction, and a pattern movement. The device executes or controls a function according to the pattern information and a function table, which maps the pattern information to the function. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20110102345 | MOBILE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING USER INTERFACE (UI) THEREOF - A mobile device and a method for providing a User Interface (UI) thereof are provided. The mobile device activates a manipulation unit upon detecting pressure through a pressure detecting unit. Accordingly, the user is able to manipulate various types of UIs, using a combination of pressure and various manipulation units. | 05-05-2011 |
