Abstract
A method of configuring a screen of an electronic device is provided. The method includes acquiring a distance between the electronic device and an object for performing an input into the electronic device, and displaying at least one of an input screen and an output screen on a display of the electronic device based on the acquired distance.
Claims14
A wearable device, comprising:
- a display;
- at least one sensor;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- obtain a first distance between the wearable device and a first external object using the at least one sensor,
- obtain a second distance between the first external object and a second external object based on the first distance and a third distance between the wearable device and the second external object, wherein the third distance is obtained using the at least one sensor,
- determine whether the first distance is larger than a first threshold distance with respect to the wearable device and the first external object,
- based on determining that the first distance is less than or equal to the first threshold distance, display, through the display, an output screen of an augmented reality application, wherein the output screen of the augmented reality application includes an additional information related to the second external object different from the first external object, wherein the second external object is not used as an implement for inputting,
- based on determining that the first distance is larger than the first threshold distance, display, through the display, an input screen of the augmented reality application, wherein the input screen of the augmented reality application includes a virtual keyboard,
- based on determining that the second distance is larger than a second threshold distance with respect to the first external object and the second external object, display, through the display, the output screen of an augmented reality application,
- based on determining that the second distance is less than the second threshold distance while the output screen of the augmented reality application is displayed through the display, switch and display, through the display, the input screen from the output screen, and
- based on the switching and displaying, update the second threshold distance to a third threshold distance with respect to the first external object and the second external object, wherein the third threshold distance is larger than the second threshold distance.

A wearable device, comprising:
- a display;
- at least one camera;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- obtain an image including a first external object,
- determine a first distance between the wearable device and the first external object based on the image,
- determine a second distance between the first external object and a second external object based on the first distance and a third distance between the wearable device and the second external object, wherein the third distance is determined based on an image including a second external object obtained by the at least one camera,
- determine whether the first distance is larger than a first threshold distance with respect to the wearable device and the first external object,
- based on determining that the first distance is less than or equal to the first threshold distance, display, through the display, an output screen of an augmented reality application, wherein the output screen of the augmented reality application includes an additional information related to the second external object different from the first external object, wherein the second external object is not used as an implement for inputting,
- based on determining that the first distance is larger than the first threshold distance, display, through the display, an input screen of the augmented reality application, wherein the input screen of the augmented reality application includes a virtual keyboard,
- based on determining that the second distance is larger than a second threshold distance with respect to the first external object and the second external object, display, through the display, the output screen of an augmented reality application,
- based on determining that the second distance is less than the second threshold distance while the output screen of the augmented reality application is displayed through the display, switch and display, through the display, the input screen from the output screen, and
- based on the switch and display, update the second threshold distance to a third threshold distance with respect to the first external object and the second external object, wherein the third threshold distance is larger than the second threshold distance.
