Abstract: An electronic device to provide a fluid user interface (UI) and a method thereof are provided. The electronic device includes a display configured to display at least one first icon, an inputter configured to receive a user command to select the at least one first icon and move the at least one first icon to another area of the display, and at least one processor configured to control the display to determine a duration to receive the user command and determine a moving distance of the user command, and display at least one second icon located around the at least one first icon based on the duration and the moving distance.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing access to contents which are semantically related to a displayed content(s). The access can be provided through a multi-dimensional user interface (UI). The method includes detecting a predefined gesture with respect to a first content. Based on the detected gesture, determining closest semantically linked content (second content). The semantic link between the first content and the second content can be established based on parameters such as sharing history, frequency of usage, type, a location, similarity, hierarchy, key words/phrases, tags, and so on. The semantically linked contents can be assigned onto distinct dimensions of the multi-dimensional UI space. The multi-dimensional UI space can be traversed through different dimensions using the predefined gesture, and each traversal from one dimension to another can be semantically linked.
