[0070] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) may confirm a second user input (212) for selecting a location for displaying a first window including an execution screen of a first application while the first user input (211) is maintained (or not released). According to one embodiment, based on confirming the second user input (212), the electronic device (301) may display a designated screen (220) representing the first application at the location where the second user input (212) is confirmed. For example, the second user input (212) may include a long press input. For example, the second user input (212) may include a touch input, a touch hovering input, or a gesture input (e.g., a gesture input for a VST device).
[0071] Referring to (b) of FIG. 2, according to one embodiment, the electronic device (301) can confirm a third user input (213) that is continuous with the second user input (212) while the second user input (212) is not released (or maintained).

[0088] According to one embodiment, the processor (320) may confirm a third user input that is continuous to the second user input in the second area through the sensor (310) while the second user input is not released. According to one embodiment, if the third user input is confirmed within a preset time from the time at which the second user input is confirmed, the processor (320) may confirm the third user input as a continuous input to the second user input. For example, the preset time may indicate a time at which the third user input is confirmed as a continuous input to the second user input. The preset time may be automatically set by the processor (320) or may be set by the user. According to one embodiment, the third user input may include a swipe, drag, pinch, pinch in, or pinch out input (or gesture).
[0089] According to one embodiment, the processor (320) may determine at least one attribute of the first execution screen based on the third user input. According to one embodiment, the at least one attribute may include at least one of the size, transparency, color, depth, or brightness of the first execution screen.
[0090] Depending on the implementation, according to one embodiment, the processor (320) may determine an attribute corresponding to an area where a third user input is confirmed among at least one attribute. For example, when the third user input is confirmed in the second area, the processor (320) may determine an attribute corresponding to the second area among at least one attribute. For example, the attribute corresponding to the second area may include a first attribute (e.g., size). For example, when the third user input is confirmed in a third area different from the second area, the processor (320) may determine an attribute corresponding to the third area among at least one attribute. For example, the attribute corresponding to the third area may include a second attribute (e.g., transparency) different from the first attribute. Depending on the implementation, a plurality of areas for adjusting the attributes of the first execution screen may be set. However, the corresponding content will be omitted as it overlaps with the above-described content.
[0091] According to one embodiment, the processor (320) may check the distance between locations where a third user input is confirmed (e.g., the movement direction and movement distance of the third user input) through the sensor (310). According to one embodiment, the processor (320) may check the first distance between a first location and a second location where a third user input indicating a pinch, pinch in, or pinch out is confirmed. According to one embodiment, the processor (320) may check the first distance between a first location and a second location where a third user input indicating a swipe input or a drag input is confirmed.

[0092] In one embodiment, the processor (320) may determine at least one attribute corresponding to the direction of the third user input or the first distance. In one embodiment, the attribute corresponding to the direction of the third user input or the distance between locations where the third user input is identified may be set by the user or automatically set by the processor (320).
[0093] For example, if the processor (320) determines that the third user input is a swipe or drag input from the bottom to the top, the larger the first distance, the larger the size, transparency, or brightness of the first execution screen may be. For example, if the processor (320) determines that the third user input is a swipe or drag input from the top to the bottom, the larger the first distance, the larger the size, transparency, or brightness of the first execution screen may be. For example, if the processor (320) determines that the third user input is a pinch-in or pinch-out input, the larger the first distance, the larger the size, transparency, or brightness of the first execution screen may be.
[0094] According to one embodiment, the processor (320) can determine whether the third user input is released. According to one embodiment, the processor (320) can execute the first application based on whether the third user input is released. In addition, the processor (320) can execute the first application and display the first execution screen (or the first window including the first execution screen). Depending on the implementation, the processor (320) may not execute the first application if it is determined that the third user input is not released.

[0095] According to one embodiment, the processor (320) may display a first window including a first execution screen in a second area based on at least one determined attribute.
[0096] According to one embodiment, if the processor (320) determines that the first distance is less than a preset distance, the processor (320) may display a first object representing the first application in the second area based on determining that the third user input has been released. According to one embodiment, if the processor (320) determines that the first distance is less than a preset distance, the processor (320) may display the first object representing the first application in the second area as a three-dimensional shape (e.g., a 3D object). For example, the preset distance may include a distance for displaying the first object representing the first application instead of the first execution screen of the first application at a location where the third user input is confirmed. According to one embodiment, if a user input for the first object displayed in the second area is confirmed, the processor (320) may display a first window including the first execution screen of the first application with preset properties in the second area. For example, the preset properties may include at least one property of the first execution screen when an input for determining the property of the first execution screen is not confirmed.
[0097] According to one embodiment, if a third user input is not confirmed after a second user input, the processor (320) may display a first window including a first execution screen of the first application in a second area with preset properties at a time when the second user input is confirmed to have been released.
