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 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 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:
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.
