Abstract: An electronic device is provided such that a user can experience a quick launch of an application therein. The electronic device includes a housing, a display, an input unit, a processor, a non-volatile memory to store an application program, and a volatile memory to store instructions that allow the processor to load a first part of the application program in the volatile memory based on a first change of state of the electronic device, to load a second part of the application program in the volatile memory based on a second change of state of the electronic device and to display an image or text generated by the loaded first or second part. Since at least part of the application is preloaded before the second input is generated, only the remainder of the application has to be loaded in order to execute the application after the second input is generated.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided that includes a touch screen display; a pressure sensor; at least one processor configured to receive a user input for performing a function for a selected period of time after execution of at least one application program, to detect a pressure regarding the touch screen display for the selected period of time using the pressure sensor, and to execute at least one selected from pausing the execution of the function, resuming the same, and restarting the same at least partially on the basis of the detected pressure when a selected pressure level is detected by the pressure sensor for the selected period of time.

Abstract: An electronic device and a method of the electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a touch screen display that displays a user interface, a force sensor that detects a pressure with which an external object touches the touch screen display, a wireless communication circuit, and a processor that controls the touch screen display to display the user interface, receives, from at least one of the force sensor and the wireless communication circuit, data representing that the external object is pressing a portion of the user interface with a pressure greater than or equal to a selected pressure, receives a handwriting input through the touch screen display, and displays the handwriting input on the user interface on the touch screen display.

Abstract: An electronic device, a method and computer-readable medium is disclosed. The electronic device includes a housing; a touch screen display; a wireless communication circuit; a processor; and a memory. The memory is configured to store a first application program including a first user interface, a second application program including a second user interface, and instructions. The processor is configured to display an array of icons. At least one of the icons includes a first object and a second object. The processor is configured to receive an input to select one of the at least one of the array of icons. The processor is configured to display the first user interface and the second user interface in sequence on the display upon receiving the input. The processor is configured to repeatedly running the first application program and the second application program alternately in the foreground during a first time period.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an electronic device for controlling an external electronic device using a user input, and an operating method thereof. An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may include a housing, a touchscreen display exposed through the housing, a communication circuit, a processor disposed inside the housing and electrically coupled with the display and the wireless communication circuit, and a memory disposed inside the housing and electrically coupled with the processor.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for controlling an electronic device by using a force input of the electronic device. The method includes displaying a screen comprising at least one object on a touch screen display, receiving data indicating that an external object is pressed on the touch screen display by a force greater than or equal to a selected force, receiving a manual input through the touch screen display after the data is received, displaying at least one of an image and a character on the touch screen display in a manner overlapping with the screen based on the manual input, and deleting the at least one of the image and the character while directly maintaining the screen when a selected time has elapsed.

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.
