Abstract:
A user interface (UI) display method is provided. The UI display method includes displaying an operation window including one or more setting items on a screen, and if a first one of the setting items is inputted, causing at least a part or all of the remaining operation window part except for the first item not to be displayed on the screen.
Abstract:
A control method of an electronic device including a display is provided. The control method includes displaying, on a first area of the display, an array in which a plurality of objects corresponding to a plurality of applications are arranged in a form of a curve, displaying a first object to be distinguished from other objects based on a first user input selecting the first object from among the plurality of objects, displaying, on a second area of the display, a first application corresponding to the first object among the plurality of applications, and displaying, on a third area of the display, an object for deletion which is configured to delete at least some of the plurality of objects.
Abstract:
A display device and method of controlling the same is provided. The method of controlling the display device that displays multiple windows comprises displaying a first window in which a first application is running and a second window in which a second application is running, setting respective priorities for the first window and the second window, and controlling a brightness of the first window and the second window in a differential manner based on the priorities.

Abstract:
An electronic device comprising: a touch screen display; and at least one processor operatively coupled to the touch screen display, configured to: detect an input on the touch screen display; identify an input range based on a location of the input; detect a first path associated with additional input that is performed at least partially in the input range and display an indication of the first path on the touch screen display; compare the first path to a second path; and perform a function in response to detecting that the first path matches the second path.
Abstract:
An electronic device and a method thereof are provided. The electronic device is configured to display a first window including a first set of at least one icon on a background screen, and detect a first movement request in a first direction move, according to the first movement request, the first window in the first direction in the background screen and add and display a second window including a second set of at least one icon on the background screen.
Abstract:
Provided is a method and apparatus for executing a function based on a user input. The method of executing a function in an electronic device includes: sensing a user input for selecting an object in a first area; recognizing a surface pattern of an input unit used for providing a user input in a third area when the user input is sensed in the third area; and executing a related function, based on a surface pattern recognition result in the third area when the user input of the first area and the user input of the third area are associated with each other. Accordingly, a function desired by a user may be readily executed.
Abstract:
A fingerprint recognition method and apparatus are provided for quickly and accurately authenticating a user using a direction of a fingerprint. The fingerprint recognition method includes sensing a fingerprint input from a user; creating fingerprint data including a direction angle of the fingerprint input; and authenticating the user based on the fingerprint data.
Abstract:
A camera apparatus for capturing a picture image or a dynamic image of a constant composition without relation to a slope of a camera apparatus and a capturing method thereof are provided. The capturing method includes converting an image input through a lens into at least one of a picture image and a dynamic image, determining whether an operation mode of the camera apparatus corresponds to a fixed composition mode, and cropping at least a part of the at least one of the picture image and dynamic image having a preset composition and storing the least a part of the at least one of the picture image and the dynamic image if the operation mode corresponds to the fixed composition mode.
Abstract:
A method and a mobile device having a face recognition function using an additional component. The method includes determining whether the face recognition function has been activated in a first state of the mobile device, acquiring an image if the face recognition function has been activated, extracting a facial figure or at least one main component included in the facial figure by analyzing the acquired image, determining whether a face recognized from the image matches a registered user's face based on the facial figure or the at least one main component, determining whether an additional figure recognition function has been activated, extracting an additional figure or at least one additional component included in the additional figure, if the additional figure recognition function has been activated, and switching the mobile device to a predetermined second state corresponding to the additional figure or the at least one additional component.
