[0046] FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating screens of an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0047] Referring to FIG. 2, screens (e.g., screen 1 (200) to screen 5 (250)) displayed through a display module (160) of an electronic device (e.g., electronic device (101) of FIG. 1) according to user input are illustrated. For convenience of explanation, only the screen of electronic device 1 is illustrated, and the electronic device and its display module are omitted.

[0048] An electronic device can provide a home screen including at least one page (250) (e.g., page 1 (221) to page 5 (229)). Each of the at least one page (250) can include an object (e.g., an icon or widget of an application). The electronic device is a device that can provide a user experience through a home screen including at least one page (250), and for example, the electronic device can include various computing devices such as a mobile phone, a smart phone, a tablet, an e-book device, a laptop, a personal computer, a desktop, a workstation, or a server, various wearable devices such as a smart watch, smart glasses, or a head-mounted display (HMD), various home appliances such as a smart speaker, a smart TV, or a smart refrigerator, a smart car, a smart kiosk, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, a walking assist device (WAD), a drone, or a robot.

[0049] The electronic device can display one of at least one page (250) on the screen. In response to a left or right swipe input for the displayed page, the electronic device can slide and display pages arranged to the left or right of the displayed page on the screen. Each of the at least one page (250) can be independent. Accordingly, the at least one page (250) can include different objects. The objects can include icons and / or widgets.

[0050] Screen 1 (200) may be a screen that an electronic device is displaying on a display module, which is page 1 (221), which is one of at least one page (250). A user may change the arrangement of an object (201) included in page 1 (221). The user may change the arrangement of an object (201) included in page 1 (221) from an existing location to another location within page 1 (221). Alternatively, the user may move an object (201) included in page 1 (221) from page 1 (221) to other pages, such as page 2 (223) to page 5 (229).

[0051] The electronic device can detect a first input related to movement of the object (201) (e.g., a long press input via a touch (203) on the object (201). When the electronic device detects the first input, the electronic device can enter an edit mode that provides a change in the arrangement of the object (201) within page 1 (221). In other words, screen 2 (210) can be a screen that provides the edit mode. When the electronic device detects the first input, the electronic device can display screen 2 (210) through a visual effect that reduces page 1 (221) being displayed on screen 1 (200). The visual effect described in the present disclosure below can include an animation effect.

[0052] However, the method of entering the above-described editing mode is merely an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, an electronic device may enter editing mode when a background image, rather than an object, is long-pressed.

[0053] On screen 2 (210), the user can move the object (201) in various directions, such as up, down, left, and right, by dragging with the touch (203). The user can move the object (201) within screen 2 (210) by dragging with the touch (203) and then release the touch (203) in the desired area to place the object (201) in the desired area.

[0054] The electronic device may detect a second input (e.g., an input that causes the object (201) to approach within a threshold distance from the left or right edge of screen 2 (210)) that causes the electronic device to enter a screen selection mode. Upon detecting the second input, the electronic device may enter a screen selection mode that displays at least one page (250) as a preview.

[0055] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may further display a separate area (not shown) or a separate object (223) on the screen (210) that can enter a screen selection mode. When an object (201) is positioned on the separate area or the separate object (223), the electronic device may enter the screen selection mode for page movement. In other words, when the electronic device detects that an object (201) is positioned on the above-described separate area or the separate object (223), the electronic device may enter the screen selection mode even if a second input is not detected.

[0056] The first user input may include a first input that causes the electronic device to enter screen 1 (200) to screen 2 (210) and a second input that causes the electronic device to enter screen 2 (210) from screen 1 (200). In other words, the first user input may be a user input that causes the electronic device to enter an edit mode and then a screen selection mode.

[0057] In screen 3 (220), the electronic device may display a screen selection mode that previews at least one page (250). In screen 3 (220), at least one page (250) may be displayed in a multi-layer format. For example, screen 3 (220) may display page 1 (221), page 2 (223), page 3 (225), page 4 (227), and page 5 (229) in a multi-layer format. Objects included in each of at least one page (250) in screen 3 (220) may be displayed together with the page. The screen selection mode will be further described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 9 .

[0058] In screen 3 (220), the user can move the object (201) in various directions such as up, down, left, and right through a drag input by touch (203). The user can move the object (201) within screen 3 (220) through the drag input by touch (203) and position the desired object (201) on a desired page (i.e., a target page). In screen 3 (220), the electronic device can detect a third input (e.g., an input for positioning the object (201) on any one of the at least one page (250)) for selecting a target page (e.g., page 3 (225)) from among at least one page (250). The third input for selecting the target page may be referred to as a second user input. The touch (203) on the object (201) may not be released from screen 1 (200) to screen 3 (220). Therefore, the first user input and the second user input may be continuous. Electronic devices can apply visual effects to a target page when the target page is selected. Visual effects are further described in Figure 3.

[0059] In screen 3 (220), the electronic device can detect a fourth input that enters the target page (e.g., an input that causes an object (201) to remain on the target page for a threshold time (e.g., 2000 ms) or longer). When the electronic device detects the fourth input, the electronic device can enter an edit mode for the target page. In other words, screen 4 (230) may be a screen that provides an edit mode for the target page. When entering screen 4 (230) from screen 3 (220), the electronic device can apply a visual effect in which the target page is enlarged as the angle between the target page and the plane perpendicular to the display module becomes 90 degrees.

[0060] On screen 4 (230), the user can move the object (201) in various directions, such as up, down, left, and right, by dragging with the touch (203). The user can move the object (201) within screen 2 (210) by dragging with the touch (203) and then release the touch (203) in the desired area to place the object (201) in the desired area.

[0061] The electronic device may display screen 5 (240) showing a target page on which an object (201) is placed with a visual effect of enlarging the target page when the touch (203) is released.

[0062] If the electronic device detects a second input (e.g., an input that causes the object (201) to approach within a threshold distance from the left or right edge of screen 4 (230)) that causes the electronic device to enter screen selection mode on screen 4 (230), the electronic device may enter screen selection mode again.

[0063] A touch (203) on an object (201) performed on screen 1 (200) may not be released until screen 4 (230). Accordingly, user inputs detected by the electronic device from screen 1 (200) to screen 4 (230) may be continuous.

[0064] An electronic device can provide direct movement rather than sequential movement between pages when moving an object (201) by providing a preview of at least some of at least one page (250) at a time. This allows the electronic device to provide a quick and easy user experience when moving an object (201).

[0065] Below we will explain the screen selection mode that provides a preview of multiple pages.

[0066] FIG. 3 is a drawing for explaining a preview of a plurality of pages according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0067] Referring to FIG. 3, a screen (300) (e.g., screen 3 (220) of FIG. 2) displaying a screen selection mode is illustrated. In the screen (300), an object (301) (e.g., object (201) of FIG. 2) may be in a state in which it is being dragged by a touch (303) (e.g., touch (203) of FIG. 2). The screen (300) may be in a state in which a third input (i.e., a second user input) for selecting a target page has not yet been detected, and thus the target page has not yet been selected. Referring to FIG. 3, a screen (310) (e.g., screen 3 (220) of FIG. 2) in which a target page is selected is illustrated. The screen (310) may be in a state in which a third input for selecting a target page has been detected, and thus the target page has been selected. In the screen (310), an object (301) may be in a state in which it is being dragged by a touch (303). In other words, the touch (303) may not have been released while changing from screen (300) to screen (310). Also, referring to FIG. 3, a drawing is shown below each screen to explain the angle formed between the page (320) and the plane (305) before and after being selected as the target page.

[0068] An electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1) can display at least one page (e.g., at least one page (250) of FIG. 2) in a layer format on a screen (300). For example, referring to the screen (300), the electronic device can display four pages in a layer format. Although not illustrated in FIG. 3, on the screen (300), the electronic device can display at least one page while displaying objects included in each page. In other words, the electronic device can display a preview of at least one page in a screen selection mode.

[0069] The electronic device can arrange at least one page on the screen (300) such that the angle formed by the page with a plane (305) perpendicular to the screen (300) (i.e., a plane perpendicular to the display module (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1)) falls within a critical angle range. The electronic device can display at least one page such that an acute angle among the angles formed by each of the at least one page with the plane (340) falls within a critical angle range. The critical angle range may be greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees. For example, the angle (330) formed by the page (320) and the plane (305) on the screen (300) may fall within a range greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees.

[0070] The angles that each of the at least one page forms with the plane (340) may be the same or different. In one embodiment, the angle that a page forms with the plane (340) may be greater as it is placed first on the left.

[0071] The electronic device can detect a third input (i.e., a second user input) that selects the page (320) as the target page. Upon detecting the third input, the electronic device can apply a visual effect to the target page. In other words, upon detecting the second user input, the electronic device can apply various visual effects to the target page on the screen (310).

[0072] In one embodiment, the electronic device may apply a visual effect that enlarges the target page relative to other pages.

[0073] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may apply a visual effect that increases the display area of ​​a target page displayed on the screen. In other words, the display area of ​​a page (320) selected as a target page on the screen (310) may be larger than the display area of ​​a page (320) not selected as a target page on the screen (300).

[0074] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may apply a visual effect in which the angle (330) formed between the target page and the plane (305) increases. In other words, the electronic device may apply a visual effect in which the target page is displayed at a greater angle. In this case, the angle (304) formed by the page (320) selected as the target page on the screen (310) and the plane (305) may be greater than the angle (330) formed by the page (320) not selected as the target page on the screen (300) and the plane (305).

[0075] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may apply a visual effect that increases the distance between a target page and the page immediately preceding the target page (i.e., the left page).

[0076] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the above-described visual representation embodiments can be applied alone or in combination with other embodiments. Furthermore, electronic devices can apply various visual effects to target pages in addition to the above-described embodiments.

[0077] Below we will explain whether to provide a preview for at least one page based on the number of pages.

[0078] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a preview based on the number of pages according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0079] An electronic device (e.g., electronic device (101) of FIG. 1) may or may not provide a screen selection mode depending on the number of at least one page (e.g., at least one page (250) of FIG. 2) included in a home screen. The electronic device may provide the screen selection mode when the number of at least one page included in the home screen exceeds a first threshold (e.g., 2). The electronic device may not provide the screen selection mode when the number of at least one page is less than or equal to the first threshold.

[0080] In a screen (400) (e.g., screen 2 (210) of FIG. 2), the electronic device can detect a second input (e.g., an input that causes an object (401) (e.g., object (201) of FIG. 2 and object (301) of FIG. 3) to approach within a threshold distance from the left or right edge of the screen (400)) that causes the electronic device to enter a screen selection mode.

[0081] The electronic device may not enter the screen selection mode if the number of at least one page is less than or equal to a first threshold. In this case, the electronic device may simply perform a horizontal movement from page 1 (405) (e.g., page (221) of FIG. 2) to page 2 (407) (e.g., page (223) of FIG. 2) in response to a second input for entering the screen selection mode, thereby displaying a screen (410) displaying page 2 (407).

[0082] On the other hand, the electronic device may enter the screen selection mode if the number of at least one page exceeds a first threshold. In other words, the electronic device may display a screen (420) (e.g., screen 3 (220) of FIG. 2 and screen (300) of FIG. 3) that has entered the screen selection mode in response to a second input that causes the electronic device to enter the screen selection mode.

[0083] FIG. 5 is a drawing for explaining an indicator according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0084] An electronic device (e.g., an electronic device (101) of FIG. 1) may display only pages equal to the second threshold value on a screen (500) (e.g., screen 3 (220) of FIG. 2, screen (300) of FIG. 3, and screen (420) of FIG. 4)) when the number of at least one page (e.g., at least one page (250) of FIG. 2) exceeds a second threshold value (e.g., 5). For example, when the number of at least one page exceeds the second threshold value of 5, the electronic device may display only 5 pages among at least one page on the screen (500). Referring to FIG. 5, for convenience of explanation, pages displayed on the screen (500) are indicated with solid lines, and pages not displayed on the screen (500) are indicated with dotted lines.

[0085] The electronic device can provide left-right movement between pages according to a left-right drag input of an object (520) (e.g., object (201) of FIG. 2, object (301) of FIG. 3, and object (401) of FIG. 4) through a touch (530) (e.g., touch (203) of FIG. 2, touch (303) of FIG. 3)) on the screen (500).

[0086] The electronic device may further display an indicator (510) indicating where the pages displayed on the screen (300) are arranged among the entire pages. The indicator (510) may be displayed in various ways, such as a scroll bar or dots.

[0087] The electronic device can provide multi-touch for the indicator (510). The electronic device can provide a touch for the indicator (510) simultaneously with a drag input of the object (520) through the touch (530). By providing multi-touch for the indicator (510), the electronic device can provide faster page movement than the left-right drag of the object (520) through the touch (530).

[0088] FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining display of a page based on the y-axis coordinate of an object according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0089] Referring to FIG. 6, a screen (600) (e.g., screen 3 (220) of FIG. 2, screen (300) of FIG. 3, screen (420) of FIG. 4, and screen (500) of FIG. 5) and a screen (610) (e.g., screen 3 (220) of FIG. 2, screen (300) of FIG. 3, screen (420) of FIG. 4, and screen (500) of FIG. 5) in which a target page (620) is selected are illustrated. The screen (610) may be a case where the y-axis position of the object (601) is relatively higher (i.e., the y-axis coordinate is larger) than the screen (600). In addition, referring to FIG. 6, a drawing is illustrated for explaining an angle formed by the target page (620) with the plane (305) according to the y-axis position of the object (601).

[0090] An electronic device (e.g., electronic device (101) of FIG. 1) can detect a third input (i.e., a second user input) for selecting a target page (620) from among a plurality of pages, and then detect a third user input that is continuous therewith. The third user input can be an input for changing the y-axis position of an object (601) (e.g., object (201) of FIG. 2, object (301) of FIG. 3, object (401) of FIG. 4, and object (520) of FIG. 5) through a touch (603) (e.g., touch (203) of FIG. 2, touch (303) of FIG. 3, and touch (530) of FIG. 5)) on the target page (620).

[0091] The electronic device can control the number of pages displayed on the screen based on third user input. The electronic device can control the angle formed by the target page (620) with respect to a plane (605) perpendicular to the screen (e.g., plane (305) of FIG. 3) based on third user input. For convenience of explanation, the coordinates of the lower left corner of the screen (600) will be assumed to be (0, 0) below.

[0092] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may control the angle that the target page (620) forms with the plane (605) based on the y-axis position of the object (601) that changes according to a third user input. The electronic device may provide a visual effect that controls the angle that the target page (620) forms with the plane (605) based on the y-axis position of the object (601) that changes according to the third user input. For example, when the y-axis coordinate of the object (601) increases according to the third user input, the angle that the target page (620) forms with the plane (605) may increase. For example, when the y-axis coordinate of the object (601) decreases according to the third user input, the angle that the target page (620) forms with the plane (605) may decrease. Accordingly, the angle (630) may be smaller than the angle (640). At this time, the angle (630) may be greater than the angle when the target page (620) is not selected (e.g., the angle (330) of FIG. 3). The electronic device

[0093] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may control the display area of ​​the target page (620) based on the y-axis position of the object (601) that changes according to a third user input. The electronic device may provide a visual effect that controls the display area of ​​the target page (620) based on the y-axis position of the object (601) that changes according to the third user input. For example, when the y-axis coordinate of the object (601) increases according to the third user input, the display area of ​​the target page (620) may increase. For example, when the y-axis coordinate of the object (601) decreases according to the third user input, the display area of ​​the target page (620) may decrease. However, the display area of ​​the target page (620) on the screen (600) and the screen (610) may be larger than the display area when the target page is not selected.

[0094] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may control the number of pages displayed on the screen (600) or the screen (610) based on the y-axis position of the object (601) that changes according to a third user input. The electronic device may provide a visual effect that controls the number of pages displayed on the screen (600) or the screen (610) based on the y-axis position of the object (601) that changes according to the third user input. For example, when the y-axis coordinate of the object (601) increases according to the third user input, the number of pages displayed on the screen may decrease. For example, when the y-axis coordinate of the object (601) decreases according to the third user input, the number of pages displayed on the screen may increase. However, the number of pages displayed on the screen cannot exceed a second threshold value.

[0095] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may control the display of internal information of the target page (620) based on the y-axis position of the object (601) that changes according to a third user input. The electronic device may provide a visual effect in which the display of internal information of the target page (620) is controlled based on the y-axis position of the object (601) that changes according to the third user input. For example, when the y-axis coordinate of the object (601) increases according to the third user input, more internal information of the target page (620) may be displayed. For example, when the y-axis coordinate of the object (601) decreases according to the third user input, less internal information of the target page (620) may be displayed. However, on the screen (600) and the screen (610), more internal information of the target page (620) may be displayed than when the target page (620) is not selected.

[0096] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may control the gap between the target page (620) and the previous page (625) of the target page (620) based on the y-axis position of the object (601) that changes according to a third user input. The electronic device may provide a visual effect that controls the gap between the target page (620) and the previous page (625) of the target page (620) based on the y-axis position of the object (601) that changes according to the third user input. For example, when the y-axis coordinate of the object (601) increases according to the third user input, the gap between the target page (620) and the previous page (625) may widen. For example, when the y-axis coordinate of the object (601) decreases according to the third user input, the gap between the target page (620) and the previous page (625) may narrow. However, the gap between the target page (620) and the previous page (625) on the screen (600) and the screen (610) may be wider than the gap between pages when the target page is not selected.

[0097] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may provide the placement of the object (701) by generating a new page immediately before or immediately after the page (710) upon detecting a specific user input. For example, if there is a repetitive user input selecting the page (710) as a target page, the electronic device may generate a new page immediately before or immediately after the page (710) and provide the placement of the object (701) on the newly generated page. However, the specific user input described above may vary, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0098] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the above-described embodiments of control and / or visual presentation can be applied alone or in combination with other embodiments. Furthermore, electronic devices can apply various controls and / or visual effects to target pages in addition to the above-described embodiments.

[0099] FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 are diagrams for explaining a case in which an immovable page exists according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0100] Referring to FIG. 7, a screen (700) (e.g., screen 3 (220) of FIG. 2, screen (300) of FIG. 3, screen (420) of FIG. 4, screen (500) of FIG. 5, screen (600) of FIG. 6, and screen (610) of FIG. 6) is shown displaying a screen selection mode in which a fourth page (710) on which an object (701) (e.g., object (201) of FIG. 2, object (301) of FIG. 3, object (401) of FIG. 4, object (520) of FIG. 5, and object (601) of FIG. 6) cannot move exists. In the present disclosure, for convenience of explanation, it will be assumed that the fourth page is a page on which an object (701) cannot move. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0101] The page (710) may be a page filled with objects, such that movement of the object (701) is no longer possible. Alternatively, the page (710) may be a page in which the size of the object (701) is larger than the space in which the object can move, even if there is space in which the object can move.

[0102] In one embodiment, an electronic device (e.g., electronic device (101) of FIG. 1 ) may display a visual indication of a page (710) differently from a page on which an object can navigate. For example, the electronic device may apply a dark effect to the page (710) to indicate that the page (710) is a page on which an object (701) cannot navigate.

[0103] According to one embodiment, when the electronic device detects a user input of selecting a page (710) as a target page (e.g., target page (620) of FIG. 6) by moving the object (701) through a touch (e.g., touch (203) of FIG. 2, touch (303) of FIG. 3, touch (530) of FIG. 5, and touch (603) of FIG. 6), the electronic device may provide at least one of a visual effect and a haptic feedback indicating that the object (701) cannot be moved. For example, when the electronic device detects a user input of selecting the page (710) as the target page, the electronic device may provide a visual effect of the page (710) shaking. For example, when the electronic device detects a user input of selecting the page (710) as the target page, the electronic device may provide a haptic feedback.

[0104] Referring to FIG. 8, a screen (800 (e.g., screen 3 (220) of FIG. 2, screen (300) of FIG. 3, screen (420) of FIG. 4, screen (500) of FIG. 5, screen (601) of FIG. 6, and screen (701) of FIG. 7)) is shown displaying a screen selection mode in which a fourth page (810) (e.g., page (710) of FIG. 7) on which movement of an object (801) according to one embodiment is impossible exists.

[0105] An electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1) can display a page (810) on a screen (800) by placing it close to the previous page (820) (e.g., the previous page (625) of FIG. 6). The electronic device can place the page (810) close to the previous page (820) so that the gap between other pages is narrower. By placing the page (810) close to the previous page (820), the electronic device can make it difficult to select the page (810).

[0106] The electronic device can detect a user input for selecting a page (810) as a target page (e.g., target page (620) of FIG. 6) by moving an object (801) through a touch (803) (e.g., touch (203) of FIG. 2, touch (303) of FIG. 3, touch (530) of FIG. 5, and touch (603) of FIG. 6). When the electronic device detects this user input, it can select a next page (830) of the page (810), rather than the page (810), as the target page.

[0107] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may generate a new page immediately before or after page (810) upon detecting a specific user input. This will be omitted as it is described in FIG. 7.

[0108] FIG. 9 is a drawing for explaining the effect of page transition according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0109] Referring to FIG. 9, a screen (900) of an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1) is shown in which a screen selection mode is displayed.

[0110] The electronic device can detect a user input of moving an object (901) (e.g., object (201) of FIG. 2, object (301) of FIG. 3, object (401) of FIG. 4, object (520) of FIG. 5, object (601) of FIG. 6, object (701) of FIG. 7, and object (801) of FIG. 8) left or right through a touch (903) (e.g., touch (203) of FIG. 2, touch (303) of FIG. 3, touch (530) of FIG. 5, touch (603) of FIG. 6, and touch (803) of FIG. 8). The electronic device can provide at least one of a sound effect and a haptic feedback whenever the object (901) passes through pages displayed on the screen (900) and the page is turned. At this time, the pitch of the sound effect and the frequency of the haptic feedback can be provided in a velocity-sensitive manner. In other words, sound effects and haptic feedback may be provided differently depending on the transition speed of the page (i.e., the movement speed of the object (910)).

[0111] For example, referring to FIG. 9, a graph (910) is illustrated that represents the relationship between the page transition speed and the pitch of a sound effect according to the movement of an object (901). Referring to the graph (910), the electronic device can provide a higher pitch of a sound effect as the page transition speed according to the movement of the object (901) increases. In other words, the electronic device can provide a sound effect in response to the page transition speed.

[0112] For example, referring to FIG. 9, a graph (920) is illustrated that illustrates the relationship between the page transition speed and the frequency of haptic feedback according to the movement of an object (901). Referring to the graph (920), the electronic device can provide a higher frequency of haptic feedback as the page transition speed according to the movement of the object (901) increases. In other words, the electronic device can provide haptic feedback in response to the page transition speed.

[0113] FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining an operation method of an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0114] In the following embodiments, the operations may be performed sequentially, but are not necessarily performed sequentially. For example, the order of the operations may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel. Operations (1010) to (1050) may be performed by an electronic device (e.g., at least one component of the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1 (e.g., the processor (120) of FIG. 1)).

[0115] In operation (1010), the electronic device can detect a first user input for an object (e.g., object (201) of FIG. 2, object (301) of FIG. 3, object (401) of FIG. 4, object (520) of FIG. 5, object (601) of FIG. 6, object (701) of FIG. 7, object (801) of FIG. 8, and object (901) of FIG. 9).
