Abstract: A method of inputting a character is provided. The method includes receiving a user input for inputting a character, obtaining a plurality of candidate characters corresponding to the user input, sequentially converting the plurality of candidate characters into a selectable character state whenever a predetermined character conversion cycle ends, updating a character conversion cycle based on an amount of time it takes to sequentially convert the plurality of candidate characters into the selectable character state, before a user input for selecting a selectable character is received, and sequentially converting the plurality of candidate characters into the selectable character state whenever the updated character conversion cycle ends.

Abstract: A method for processing a letter input in an electronic device is provided. The method includes, if at least one letter is input, determining at least one input behavior related to the input and if a predetermined delimiter is input, determining whether to disable a function of automatically recommending at least one word similar to an input word, based on the determined input behavior.

Abstract: A user terminal device is provided. The user terminal device includes a display configured to display a map screen, a detector configured to sense a user manipulation, and a controller configured to, when a location and a direction are determined by the user manipulation on the map screen, display at least one photo image corresponding to the location and the direction of the user manipulation on the map screen.

Abstract: A user terminal device is provided. The device includes a display configured to display a screen including an object, a detector configured to detect a user drawing input which is input on the object or in an area surrounding the object, a controller configured to, in response to the user drawing input being detected, execute a program corresponding to the object and display, on the display, a screen where the user drawing input is processed as an input of the program. Accordingly, the operations of the user terminal device may be controlled conveniently.

Abstract: A user terminal device capable of attaching and detaching a pen is provided. The device includes a detector configured to detect a user manipulation regarding a screen, and a controller configured to change a layout of the screen to correspond to a pen use mode in response to the pen being removed from the user terminal device, perform a control operation corresponding to the detected user manipulation in response to the user manipulation using the pen being detected, and restore the layout of the screen to its original state in response to the pen being remounted on the user terminal apparatus.

Abstract: A user terminal device includes a display which displays a screen including an object drawn by a user, a sensor which senses user manipulation, and a controller which provides animation effects regarding the objects when a preset event occurs, and performs a control operation matching the object when an object is selected by user manipulation.

Abstract: A user terminal device is disclosed. The user terminal device includes a display, an inputter configured to receive a user drawing manipulation, a storage configured to store an image generated by the user drawing manipulation and information of a control operation matched with at least one part of the image, and a controller configured to display a home screen composed of a plurality of display layers sequentially overlaid on the display, and display the image on at least one display layer from among the plurality of display layers. The controller may be further configured to, in response to one part of the image being selected, perform the control operation matched with the selected part. Accordingly, a user's own home screen can be displayed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for generating a content of a display apparatus. A user touch is received. An area corresponding to the received user touch is detected. A object is inserted and displayed into the detected area.

Abstract: A method for generating digital content where an intermediary figure included in an inputted image is perceived, a digital object is inserted into a location where the intermediary figure is displayed, and digital content, which is the image into which the digital object is inserted, is displayed. Accordingly, the user can generate digital content easily using a touch screen.

Abstract: A portable terminal device and a method for operating the same are provided. The portable terminal device includes a communicator configured to perform communication with an external device, a display configured to display a same image as an image displayed on the external device, an inputter configured to receive an input of a selection command, and a controller configured to perform an operation corresponding to an object included in the image at a time when the selection command is input.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling content using a graphical object in a mobile terminal are provided, in which the user may create a graphical object on the screen through touch input and easily apply various actions such as copy, delete, move, transfer, attribute change and compress to content items by means of the created graphical object. The content control method includes: detecting a preset touch input; creating a graphical object at a region where the touch input is detected; determining a mode of the created graphical object; linking at least one content item on the screen with the graphical object; and controlling the content item linked therewith depending on the mode of the graphical object. Hence, the user can control a mobile terminal through touch inputs in a more convenient and intuitive manner, increasing user convenience.

Abstract: A method of recognizing a gesture in a touch-based display, the method includes receiving a touch input in the display, recognizing a gesture input associated with the touch input; and performing a function assigned to the recognized gesture input.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for displaying are provided. The apparatus includes an interface unit that receives key event signals from a plurality of devices, and a display unit that displays a window. The apparatus also includes a control unit that performs an operation of inputting and editing text corresponding to the key event signals of the plurality of devices on at least one window matching each of the plurality of devices. Accordingly, a text operation may be performed through a plurality of devices simultaneously.

Abstract: A method for generating digital content where an intermediary figure included in an inputted image is perceived, a digital object is inserted into a location where the intermediary figure is displayed, and digital content, which is the image into which the digital object is inserted, is displayed. Accordingly, the user can generate digital content easily using a touch screen.
