Abstract:
A portable terminal and a method for providing a haptic effect to an input unit are provided. The method includes displaying at least one object on a touch screen, detecting a touch input by the input unit with respect to the object displayed on the touch screen, determining a preset mode based on the detected touch input of the input unit, and transmitting a control signal corresponding to a predetermined haptic pattern based on the preset mode to the input unit.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing, by an electronic device, a haptic effect using an input unit are provided. The method includes detecting a touch of the input unit on a touch screen of the electronic device, displaying a trajectory of the touch, calculating a curve angle of the touch trajectory drawn for a predetermined time period, and transmitting a haptic signal, corresponding to the curve angle, to the input unit.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for providing a haptic effect by a portable terminal and an input device. A writing application is displayed on a touch screen of the portable terminal. A selection for a type of pen used for writing in the displayed writing application and a selection for a background material on which the writing is performed are received using the selected type of pen. A haptic pattern of the selected type of pen and a haptic pattern of the background material are combined. Haptic feedback is output based on a combined haptic pattern of the selected type of pen and the background material. A control signal having the haptic feedback is received at the input unit that controls a vibration of a vibration device of the input unit. The received control signal is analyzed to control the vibration of the vibration device.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for providing feedback in a portable apparatus are provided. An object is displayed on a touch screen of the portable apparatus. A first touch, from an input unit, is detected at a position on the touch screen corresponding to the displayed object. The object is selected in response to the first touch. A copy command by which the selected object is copied to a copy target is received from the input unit. A first control command corresponding to haptic feedback determined in response to the received copy command is transmitted from the portable apparatus to the input unit.
Abstract:
An input method usable by a terminal including a touch screen display, identifies first touch input locations on a touch screen. The first touch input locations comprise a predetermined number of concurrent multiple touches. A predetermined number of input buttons comprising a predetermined number of areas on the touch screen are associated with corresponding identified first touch input locations. A touch pattern is detected comprising a second touch input of one or more of the predetermined number of input buttons and an alphanumeric input corresponding to the detected touch pattern is processed.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are provided for controlling haptic feedback of an input tool for a mobile terminal. The method includes detecting, by the mobile terminal, a hovering of the input tool over an object displayed on a touch screen display of the mobile terminal; identifying a property of the object; and transmitting, to the input tool, a control signal for haptic feedback corresponding to the property of the object.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus of an electronic device is provided. The method includes receiving, from a first server, a designated content including at least one piece of information associated with a second server. The method also includes receiving content identification information from the second server when the electronic device is located in a short-range wireless communication area of the second server. The method further includes displaying at least one information that corresponds to the content identification information, from the content received from the first server.
Abstract:
A method for controlling an electronic device and an electronic device are provided. The method includes displaying at least one object on a touch screen of the electronic device; identifying a first input at a position corresponding to the at least one object displayed on the touch screen; identifying the at least one object based on the first input; identifying a second input on the touch screen; displaying the identified at least one object at a location on the touch screen of the electronic device based on the identified second input; and providing feedback based on displaying the identified at least one object.
