20140365969 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A USER INTERFACE OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A method and an apparatus efficiently display and control a plurality of pieces of content in a user interface of an electronic device which provides the user interface. | 12-11-2014 |
20160103847 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING SEARCH KEYWORD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORTING THE SAME - A method for providing a search keyword and an electronic device supporting the same is provided. The method for providing, by an electronic device, a search keyword, the method includes displaying search results comprising at least one item in response to an entry of a first search keyword into a search keyword entry region, determining continuity between the first search keyword and a second search keyword which is a search keyword entered prior to the first search keyword, and storing at least one of the first search keyword and a search formula, in which the first search keyword and the second search keyword have been combined in a search keyword list, in response to the determination of the continuity between the first search keyword and the second search keyword. | 04-14-2016 |
20160109968 | METHOD FOR EXECUTING FUNCTION AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE IMPLEMENTING THE SAME - Disclosed are a method and electronic device for executing a function. The method includes detecting a removal of an electronic pen from the electronic device by using a plurality of detection sensors, determining a time interval based on a first time of an inactivity release signal detected by a first detection sensor among the plurality of detection sensors, or a second time of the inactivity release signal detected by a second detection sensor among the plurality of detection sensors corresponding to the removal of the electronic pen, and executing at least one function related to a script input using the electronic pen if the time interval is less than a critical value. | 04-21-2016 |
20160110092 | LOCK RELEASE METHOD AND APPARATUS - An method for releasing a lock of an electronic device including a touch screen and an electronic device using the same is provided. The electronic device includes a touch screen display and a processor configured to receive two or more touch inputs in a locked state of the electronic device and to release the locked state when the two or more touch inputs coincide with a pattern stored in advance. The processor is further configured to receive a first touch input through the display in the locked state of the electronic device, receive a second touch input through the display after receiving the first touch input, determine whether the second touch input is within a selected region with respect to one or more imaginary axes passing through a position of the first touch input, and determine whether the second touch input coincides at least partly with the stored pattern, based on whether the second touch input is within the selected region. | 04-21-2016 |
20160112792 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AUDIO INPUT/OUTPUT - Disclosed is an electronic device including an interface unit that communicates with an external device in wireless or wired communication, a resonance sensor unit that detects a frequency resonance signal of the external device, and a controller that detects at least one input from the external device through the resonance sensor unit, determines an audio input or output activation state of the electronic device in response to the communication connection state with the external device, and controls an audio input or output operation of the electronic device based on the detection of the at least one input and the determination of the audio input/output activation state. | 04-21-2016 |
