Method for setting date and time by electronic device and electronic device therefor

An electronic device comprising:

• a touch-sensitive display;
• a memory configured to store executable instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory to:
• display, on the touch-sensitive display, a user interface including a plurality of time points arranged along a circumferential direction of a substantially circular dial, a visual indicator representing a duration of a time period, a first icon at one end region of the visual indicator corresponding to a start time of the time period and a second icon at the other end region of the visual indicator corresponding to an end time of the time period,
• based on a first touch input to the first icon for moving the first icon to a first time point along the circular dial, adjust the start time and a duration of the time period according to the adjusted start time, wherein a length of the visual indicator changes according to the adjusted duration,
• based on a second touch input to the second icon for moving the second icon to a second time point along the circular dial, adjust the end time and a duration of the time period according to the adjusted end time, wherein a length of the visual indicator changes according to the adjusted duration,
• based on a third touch input on a line connected between the first icon and the second icon in a clockwise direction, simultaneously rotate the first icon, the line and the second icon in the clockwise direction while maintaining a same duration of the time period, and
• based on a fourth touch input on the line connected between the first icon and the second icon in a counterclockwise direction, simultaneously rotate the first icon, the line and the second icon in the counterclockwise direction while maintaining the same duration of the time period, wherein
• a first image within the first icon is different from a second image within the second icon.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• a touchscreen display;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
• display, on the touchscreen display, a user interface including a plurality of time points, a first icon positionable at a first point among the plurality of time points based on a touch input thereto, and a second icon positionable at a second point among the plurality of time points based on a touch input thereto,
• receive, via the touchscreen display, an input to at least one of the first icon or the second icon for changing a location of the at least one of the first icon or the second icon,
• display, on the touchscreen display, a duration time of a time period from a first time corresponding to a first location of the first icon to a second time corresponding to a second location of the second icon,
• based on a touch input on a line connected between the first icon and the second icon in a clockwise direction, simultaneously rotate the first icon, the line and the second icon in the clockwise direction while maintaining a same duration of the time period, and
• based on a touch input on the line connected between the first icon and the second icon in a counterclockwise direction, simultaneously rotate the first icon, the line and the second icon in the counterclockwise direction while maintaining the same duration of the time period, wherein
• a first image within the first icon is different from a second image within the second icon.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for inputting time period information to a multifunction electronic device comprising a touch-sensitive display and one or more processors, the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, controlling the electronic device to at least:

• display, on the touch-sensitive display, visual display elements comprising time points and an indicator representing a duration of a time period, the indicator comprising a first icon at one end region of the indicator corresponding to a start time of the time period and a second icon at the other end region of the indicator corresponding to an end time of the time period;
• display, concurrently with the visual display elements, a numerical value for the start time, a numerical value for the end time and a numerical value for the duration;
• based on a first touch input to the first icon for moving the first icon to a first time point, adjust the start time and duration of the time period, and display a numerical value for the start time adjusted by moving the first icon and a numerical value for the duration adjusted by moving the first icon;
• based on a second touch input to the second icon for moving the second icon to a second time point, adjust the end time and duration of the time period, and display a numerical value for the end time adjusted by moving the second icon and a numerical value for the duration adjusted by moving the second icon;
• based on a third touch input on a line connected between the first icon and the second icon in a clockwise direction, simultaneously rotate the first icon, the line and the second icon in the clockwise direction while maintaining a same duration of the time period;
• and
• based on a fourth touch input on the line connected between the first icon and the second icon in a counterclockwise direction, simultaneously rotate the first icon, the line and the second icon in the counterclockwise direction while maintaining the same duration of the time period, wherein
• a first image within the first icon is different from a second image within the second icon.
