Abstract
An electronic device is provided, which includes a display configured to receive a handwriting by touch and display the received handwriting, and a processor configured to display a handwriting input by at least two handwriting tools selected among different handwriting tools provided through the display by dividing layers of the handwriting according to a handwriting tool, and in response to a selection of a layer among the layers divided according to the handwriting tool, control to edit only a handwriting input by a handwriting tool corresponding to the selected layer.
Claims18
An electronic device comprising:
- a display configured to provide different writing tools;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- in response to a first writing tool being selected from the different writing tools and a first touch input being received, control the display to provide a first layer corresponding to the first writing tool and to display a first writing corresponding to the first touch input on the first layer,
- in response to a second writing tool being selected from the different writing tools and a second touch input being received, control the display to provide a second layer corresponding to the second writing tool and to display a second writing corresponding to the second touch input on the second layer, the second layer overlapped the first layer, and
- in response to a selection of a layer among the first layer and the second layer, control to edit a writing corresponding to the selected layer among the first writing and the second writing,
- wherein the processor is further configured to, in response to the first writing tool being selected from the different writing tools and a third touch input being received, control the display to display a third writing corresponding to the third touch input with the first writing on the first layer.
A controlling method of an electronic device comprising:
- in response to a first writing tool being selected from the different writing tools and a first touch input being received, providing a first layer corresponding to the first writing tool and displaying a first writing corresponding to the first touch input on the first layer;
- in response to a second writing tool being selected from the different writing tools and a second touch input being received, providing a second layer corresponding to the second writing tool and displaying a second writing corresponding to the second touch input on the second layer, the second layer overlapped the first layer;
- in response to the first writing tool being selected from the different writing tools and a third touch input being received, displaying a third writing corresponding to the third touch input with the first writing on the first layer;
- and
- in response to a selection of a layer among the first layer and the second layer, editing only a writing corresponding to the selected layer among the first writing and the second writing.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions stored therein, comprising a plurality of instructions configured to, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, cause the processor to:
- in response to a first writing tool being selected from the different writing tools and a first touch input being received, provide a first layer corresponding to the first writing tool and display a first writing corresponding to the first touch input on the first layer,
- in response to a second writing tool being selected from the different writing tools and a second touch input being received, provide a second layer corresponding to the second writing tool and display a second writing corresponding to the second touch input on the second layer, the second layer overlapped the first layer, and
- in response to a selection of a layer among the first layer and the second, control to edit a writing corresponding to the selected layer among the first writing and the second writing,
- wherein the plurality of instructions is further configured to, in response to the first writing tool being selected from the different writing tools and a third touch input being received, cause the processor to display a third writing corresponding to the third touch input with the first writing on the first layer.
