Abstract:
A system and method execute an e-book reading application in an electronic device with a touch screen, via a touch gesture. The e-book reading application executing system includes: a touch screen for sensing a touch gesture; a storage unit for storing a look up table (LUT); a controller for detecting the touch gesture while displaying a first page of an e-book, for determining whether the sensed touch gesture is a touch gesture to turn over pages of the e-book by referring to the LUT, and for identifying, if the sensed touch gesture corresponds to a touch gesture to turn over pages of the e-book, a second page (P2) to be turned according to the touch gesture; and a display unit for displaying the second page (P2).
