Abstract

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for displaying graphical user interface depending on a user's contact pattern. A graphical user interface (GUI) may be displayed on a display unit in an apparatus which may include a tactile sensor unit. When a contact by a user is detected at the tactile sensor unit, a control unit may receive a contact detection signal therefrom. Based on the contact detection signal, the control unit may determine a contact pattern and may then display the GUI corresponding to the contact pattern. The GUI may be displayed and modified depending on the location and pressure of contacts by a user's manipulating fingers. Therefore, a user can manipulate the apparatus without any inconvenience or accidental touches.

Description

technical field [0001] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for an electronic device, and in particular, to an apparatus for a method of displaying a GUI according to a user's contact pattern. Background technique [0002] A touch screen can be used as a display unit and an input unit. Therefore, an electronic device having a touch screen may not require additional display units and input units. Due to this advantage, touch screens can be widely used in limited-sized electronic devices such as, for example, mobile devices (also referred to as portable devices or handheld devices). [0003] Typically, a user can operate a touch screen with one or two hands to command execution of a desired function or application. When the user uses two hands, one hand holds the device, and the other hand can touch the touch screen of the device. However, when the user uses only one hand, the fingers (eg, thumb) of the grasping hand typi...
