Device and method for providing a user interface

摘要

A device and method for providing a user interface using information are provided. The device includes a display unit, a sensor and a controller. The display unit displays at least one graphic user interface (GUI). The sensor generates a sensor signal according to a user's finger touch input. The controller receives the sensor signal from the sensor, identifies a touch area and an adjacent area based on the received sensor signal, generates touch finger shape-based information according to the identified touch area and the identified adjacent area, and controls the display unit to display the GUI according to the generated finger shape-based information.

1. A device to provide a user interface, the device comprising:
a display unit configured to display a screen of an application in at least part of the display unit; a sensor configured to generate a sensor signal in response to detection of a touch input that is input while a function of the application is activated; and a controller configured to:
activate the function of the application;receive the sensor signal from the sensor;determine an area corresponding to the touch input in the screen of the application based on the received sensor signal; anddeactivate the activated function of the application in response to a determination that a value of the area is equal to or greater than a critical area value and maintain activation of the function in response to a determination that the value of the area is greater than zero and less than the critical area value.
