Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for controlling a portable terminal. The apparatus includes a contact sensing unit which senses an area of an external surface of the portable terminal contacted by a user as the user holds the portable terminal, a recognizing unit which recognizes a function mode of the portable terminal based on information about the contacted area sensed by the contact sensing unit, and a control unit which changes the portable terminal to a function mode recognized by the recognizing unit. Since a function mode of the portable terminal is controlled according to the way a user holds the portable terminal, convenience of changing a function mode of the portable terminal is provided through a single manipulation.

Abstract:
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a sensor module configured to detect an object positioned near the electronic device, a display, a memory storing instructions, and a processor electrically coupled with the sensor module, the display, and the memory. The processor, when executing the instructions, is configured to control the display to display first information guiding a portion of a user's body positioned near the electronic device to maintain a first posture, to acquire a first sensing value by using the sensor module while the first posture is maintained, to control the display to display second information guiding an object to be positioned on one point of the portion of the user's body, to acquire a second sensing value for the object by using the sensor module while the object is positioned on the one point, and to determine a first correction value by using the first sensing value and the second sensing value.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an apparatus, method, and medium for providing a user interface for file transmission. The apparatus includes a motion perception (recognition) module perceiving (recognizing) a motion input to the user interface and identifying a position of the perceived (recognized) motion, a motion execution module executing a motion corresponding to the perceived motion and the identified position of the perceived motion and modifying components of the user interface according to the executed motion, and a communication module transmitting a file to a transmission target based on the perceived motion and the identified position of the perceived motion. The components of the user interface may include a file list region, a transmission target region, and an execution region.
