Benefits of technology

This patent describes a method and device for executing applications on a wearable device. The device receives user input to request execution of a first application, and then acquires time information required to execute the application. The device then scrolls and displays a predetermined image in a first direction until the execution of the first application is completed. The user interface can also display an application list with the identification information of at least one application, and the user can select a second application for execution based on an application switch input. The device can adjust the scroll speed based on the time information and can display a previous image before the execution of the first application based on a drag input in a different direction. The technical effects of this patent include improved user experience and more efficient use of wearable device resources for executing applications.

Problems solved by technology

Since wearable devices have been mainly developed for the specific purposes such as military, medical treatment, and the like for a long time, convenient interfaces for general users have been insufficiently provided.

Abstract

A method of executing an application in a wearable device and a wearable device are disclosed, the method including receiving an input requesting execution of a first application, acquiring time information required to execute the first application in response to the input, and scrolling and displaying a predetermined image in a first direction until the execution of the first application based on the time information.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is based on and claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0140168, filed on Oct. 16, 2014, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field[0003]The disclosure relates, for example, to a method of executing an application in a wearable device and a wearable device for the same.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]A wearable device is generally a device capable of performing a computing activity by being attached to the human body and also includes some applications capable of performing a computing function.[0006]Wearable devices have been gradually evolving with respect to the fact that new services which cannot be provided by existing devices may be provided with a computer close to a user. The wearable devices started to be used in the military and industry fields in the early 1990s and...
