Abstract: An object execution method and apparatus is provided for executing an object based on an input pressure level with a haptic feedback indicative of an attribute of the object. An object execution apparatus may include a display unit, an input unit, and a control unit. The display unit may display at least one object. The input unit may detect a selection of an object and/or a pressure level input for executing the object. The control unit may check a reference pressure value preset for the selected object. The reference pressure value may be indicative of attribute information of the object. The control unit may compare an input pressure value of the pressure level input with the reference pressure value, and may determine whether to execute the object based on the comparison result. The input unit comprising a vibration generator may generate a vibration mapped to the reference pressure value.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus to provide an area of an image displayed on a display apparatus in a GUI form. The electronic apparatus transfers a user command related to an external apparatus to the external apparatus, and displays an area of an image displayed on the external apparatus on a display. Therefore, it is possible to display an area of an image displayed on a display apparatus in the GUI form using another display apparatus so that the user may select a desired GUI item more conveniently and more intuitively.

Abstract: A display apparatus is provided that includes a user interface unit which displays a content, a storage unit which stores a scribble pattern, and a control unit which, if a scribble is inputted according to the stored scribble pattern, sets a content area corresponding to a spot where the scribble is inputted and stores the set content area to the storage unit, making it possible to more efficiently manage the content.

Abstract: A method of inputting a user command includes displaying a navigation window including letter key symbols corresponding to keys on a manipulator. If a first user command as to a specific key on the manipulator is input, a specific letter key symbol on the navigation window corresponding to the specific key is activated, and if a second user command as to the specific key is input, the letter corresponding to the activated specific letter key symbol is input. Accordingly, even if the manipulator is separated from the display on which a result of the manipulator is displayed, the user can input a user command by looking at the display only.

Abstract: A method for providing a link in an electronic apparatus capable of reproducing contents, includes storing a first part of a first contents in a link storage area, forming a link between a second part of a second contents and the first part stored in the link storage area, and if the link is selected, displaying the first part while a contents screen including the second part is displayed. Accordingly, a user may easily find related contents from among contents stored in the electronic apparatus as a link is formed between related contents.

Abstract: A method for providing a text writing function and a clipping function and an electronic apparatus applying the same are provided. If a command is input while content is being displayed, a text writing screen including information related to the content is displayed. Accordingly, since the content-related information is automatically displayed when the user writes text relating to the content, the user is not required to input the content-related information separately.

Abstract: A method of providing a GUI and a digital device includes determining whether a user has approached a start position of an operation of a user input unit for operating the GUI that is displayed on a display; and displaying a guide on the GUI that is displayed on the display if it is determined that the user has approached the start position of an operation. Accordingly, a user can confirm that his/her finger has approached the start position of an operation through the guide, and thus can input a desired command as seeing only the display.

Abstract: A user interface device and an input element include at least one input button that protrudes to be deformed when being pressed and then elastically restored when not being pressed, a sensing unit to sense whether the at least one input button has been pressed, and a display panel disposed underneath the at least one input button and including an input sign display area overlapping with the at least one input button.

Abstract: A character input method and an electronic device. According to the character input method, if a plurality of characters are input together by a user substantially simultaneously, the electronic device may recognize that the user desires to input a character other than the plurality of characters. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the number of keys required to input characters, so an electronic device requiring character keys can be greatly reduced in size.
