Claims21
A display method performed in a device having a plurality of buttons, the method comprising:
- (a) sensing a touch to the device including sensing locations where the touch has occurred;
- and
- (b) displaying a plurality of images on the plurality of buttons, wherein operation (b) comprises:
- (b1) analyzing a trajectory of the sensed locations;
- and
- (b2) displaying a plurality of images, which are indicated by image data corresponding to the analyzed trajectory from among predetermined image data, on the plurality of buttons.
A device comprising:
- a sensor to sense a touch to the device, wherein the sensor senses locations where the touch has occurred;
- a plurality of buttons to display a plurality of images in response to a control signal;
- and
- a controller to generate the control signal for commanding the display of images on the plurality of buttons, wherein the controller comprises:
- a trajectory analyzer to analyze a trajectory of the sensed locations;
- and
- a display controller to generate the control signal for commanding the display of images corresponding to the analyzed trajectory.
At least one computer readable medium storing instructions that control at least one processor to perform a display method in a device having a plurality of buttons, the method comprising:
- (a) sensing a touch to the device including sensing locations where the touch has occurred;
- and
- (b) displaying a plurality of images on the plurality of buttons, wherein operation (b) comprises:
- (b1) analyzing a trajectory of the sensed locations;
- and
- (b2) displaying a plurality of images, which are indicated by image data corresponding to the analyzed trajectory from among predetermined image data, on the plurality of buttons
