Abstract:
A method of displaying a schedule on a wearable additional device is provided. The method includes connecting a portable electronic device which can synchronize a schedule, receiving a user input for displaying the schedule on a display screen of the wearable additional device, and displaying the schedule received from the portable electronic device on the display screen of the wearable additional device in response to the user input, wherein the schedule is displayed in a form of sector areas corresponding to a plurality of schedule items, and each of the sector areas has an area proportional to a time of a corresponding schedule item from among a total time of schedule data which can be displayed on the display screen of the wearable additional device.
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:
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:
A screen change method and device are provided. A first screen, from among a plurality of screens, is displayed on a first touch screen. A second screen, which precedes or succeeds the first screen in a sequence of the plurality of screens, is displayed on a second touch screen. A touch is detected on the first touch screen. Continuous movement of the detected touch from the first touch screen to the second touch screen is detected. Other screens, which are different from the first screen and the second screen, from among the plurality of screens, are displayed on the first touch screen and the second touch screen, in response to the detected continuous movement of the touch.
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:
A portable terminal and a method for providing a haptic effect in the portable terminal are provided. The method includes displaying an application on a touch screen, detecting a touch in a haptic providing region set by a user, and providing a haptic effect corresponding to the haptic providing region in response to the detected touch.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method of changing screens using multiple touch screens. The method includes displaying a first screen in a first touch screen; displaying a second screen in a second touch screen; detecting multiple touches in the first touch screen; detecting continuous movements of the multiple touches from the first touch screen to the second touch screen; and changing the second screen of the second touch screen in response to the continuous movements of the multiple touches..
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for inputting various operation instructions to a device including two movable panels. The method includes determining whether a relative angle between the first panel and the second panel is within an effective angle range; determining whether the relative angle within the effective angle range is maintained during an effective time; and inputting an operation instruction to the device based on whether the relative angle between the first panel and the second panel is within the effective angle range and whether the relative angle within the effective angle range is maintained during the effective time.
