Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display module configured to generate an event corresponding to a handwritten data input and a control module configured to recognize a stroke of handwritten data, collect input time information on at least one stroke and store or transmit a message including stroke related information and the input time information.

Abstract: A method of processing image data of an electronic device is provided. The method includes dividing the image data into at least one segment corresponding to a feature of at least part of the image data, determining a category corresponding to the at least one segment, and displaying the at least one segment in a converted form based on the category.

Abstract: An electronic device and an object control method therefor are provided. The electronic device includes a display module configured to display at least one object on a screen of the electronic device, a user input module configured to receive a user input, and a processor configured to compare a coordinate of each of the objects with a coordinate of the user input and to control attributes of each of the objects.

Abstract: A method of processing a user input is provided. The method includes sensing whether a touch input event occurs on the touch screen, identifying an input movement pattern of a portable electronic apparatus detected by a motion sensor included in the portable electronic apparatus, and determining whether a touch input matched to the touch input event is valid, in view of the identified input movement pattern.

Abstract: A virtual keyboard, an apparatus, and method using the virtual keyboard provide supplementary character input. The virtual keyboard includes basic character keys which correspond to basic characters of a basic character set corresponding to a currently set input language, respectively, and at least one character function keys. If the character function key is input, basic character keys corresponding to basic characters to which supplementary characters of at least one supplementary character sets corresponding to the input language are mapped respectively are switched to supplementary character keys of a supplementary character set which is set to correspond to the input character function key. Virtual key stamps of the corresponding basic characters are displayed on the basic character keys. Virtual key stamps of the corresponding supplementary characters are displayed on the supplementary character keys.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and a method capable of performing a word spacing function without a separate key input for the word spacing in a portable terminal. The method includes determining interval duration for which a key is pressed; and displaying data assigned to the pressed key and performing a word spacing function when the key is pressed for a duration equal to or more than a predetermined time interval.
