摘要

An electronic device and a user interface implementing method therein are disclosed. The method includes displaying at least one content, displaying a shortcut key corresponding to the at least one content if close contact is detected, and executing a function corresponding to the at least one content if the shortcut key is selected.

1. A method for implementing user interfaces in an electronic device having a touch screen, the method comprising:
displaying a plurality of contents on the touch screen of the electronic device, the plurality of contents corresponding to contacts stored in a phonebook; detecting a proximity input in close proximity to a content of the displayed contents; enlarging, in response to detecting the proximity input, the content while another of the displayed contents is displayed; displaying a shortcut key at a location adjacent to the enlarged content, the shortcut key being configured to execute a communication function associated with a contact corresponding to the enlarged content; executing, in response to a touch on the displayed shortcut key, the communication function to communicate with the contact; and executing, directly in response to a touch on the enlarged content, a modification function to enable modification of at least some data associated with the contact corresponding to the enlarged content, wherein displaying the shortcut key comprises:
displaying, in response to the proximity input being detected in close proximity to the content of the displayed contents, information associated with the contact corresponding to the enlarged content; anddisplaying, in response to the proximity input being maintained for a threshold time period, the shortcut key associated with the enlarged content after displaying the enlarged content and the associated information.
