The method including determining depth information corresponding to a distance from a screen of a user terminal to a hand of a user; identifying at least one layer among a plurality of layers based on the depth information; and applying a graphic effect to the identified layer so that a menu page corresponding to the at least one identified layer is displayed on the screen of the user terminal.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a sensor module configured to detect an object positioned near the electronic device, a display, a memory storing instructions, and a processor electrically coupled with the sensor module, the display, and the memory. The processor, when executing the instructions, is configured to control the display to display first information guiding a portion of a user's body positioned near the electronic device to maintain a first posture, to acquire a first sensing value by using the sensor module while the first posture is maintained, to control the display to display second information guiding an object to be positioned on one point of the portion of the user's body, to acquire a second sensing value for the object by using the sensor module while the object is positioned on the one point, and to determine a first correction value by using the first sensing value and the second sensing value.

Abstract: An interfacing apparatus may sense an input object and move at least one interface object displayed on a display toward the sensed input object.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a user interface using a gaze interaction is disclosed. The method for the user interface using the gaze interaction may include obtaining an image including eyes of a user, estimating a gaze position of the user, using the image including the eyes of the user, and determining whether to activate a gaze adjustment function for controlling a device by a gaze of the user, based on the gaze position of the user with respect to at least one toggle area on a display.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus and method for controlling a portable terminal. The apparatus includes a contact sensing unit which senses an area of an external surface of the portable terminal contacted by a user as the user holds the portable terminal, a recognizing unit which recognizes a function mode of the portable terminal based on information about the contacted area sensed by the contact sensing unit, and a control unit which changes the portable terminal to a function mode recognized by the recognizing unit. Since a function mode of the portable terminal is controlled according to the way a user holds the portable terminal, convenience of changing a function mode of the portable terminal is provided through a single manipulation.

Abstract: An interfacing apparatus may sense an input object and move at least one interface object displayed on a display toward the sensed input object.
