Abstract:
A multitasking method and apparatus of a user device is provided for intuitively and swiftly switching between background and foreground tasks running on the user device. The multitasking method includes receiving an interaction to request for task-switching in a state where an execution screen of a certain application is displayed, displaying a stack of tasks that are currently running, switching a task selected from the stack to a foreground task, and presenting an execution window of the foreground task.
Abstract:
A method and an electronic device are provided in which, in response to a first user input, a stack of partially overlaid visual elements is displayed in response to the first user input. Each visual element corresponds to an application that is running in the electronic device and includes an index item representing the corresponding application. A second user input for selecting a visual element from the stack of partially overlaid visual elements is received through the touchscreen. An execution screen of an application corresponding to the selected visual element is displayed.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a content zooming method and a terminal implementing the same, in which content displayed on a screen can be zoomed based on a bending extent of the screen. The content zooming method in a terminal having a flexible display unit includes: displaying content on a screen of the flexible display unit; determining whether the content is a subject to be zoomed; calculating a bending extent of the screen by periods when the content is the subject to be zoomed; determining a zooming rate based on the bending extent calculated by periods; and zooming the content at the zooming rate.

Abstract:
An electronic device capable of multitasking is provided. A method of operating an electronic device includes displaying a window of a foreground application, displaying at least one window of background applications on at least a part of the window of the foreground application, detecting a user input for selecting one of the at least one window of the background applications, and assigning a foreground authority to a background application corresponding to the selected one window to update the selected one window.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for providing a user interface of a portable terminal. The method includes displaying a lock screen; detecting a request to display an auxiliary including a plurality of modes on the lock screen; and displaying the auxiliary window in a specific mode among the plurality of modes on a side of the lock screen in response to the detecting indicating that the request for the display of the auxiliary window is detected, wherein the specific mode is changed in response to a mode changing event.
Abstract:
A method for controlling a basic screen includes receiving an input signal that requests an output of a basic screen of a terminal, checking a basic screen list including a menu page and a list of one or more basic pages which are managed in the same level as that of the menu page and include screen information according to the basic screen output request, selecting a page which is set as an initial page from the basic screen list, and outputting the selected initial page.
Abstract:
A terminal and method of operating at least one background content. The terminal includes a touch screen configured to display the at least one background content and at least one application over the at least one background content, and to receive at least one input; and a controller configured to remove the at least one application if a first input is received. The method includes displaying on a touch screen the at least one background content and at least one application over the at least one background content; receiving on the touch screen at least one input; and removing, by a controller, the at least one application if a first input is received.
