Abstract
A method and apparatus provide a multi function in an electronic device. The method includes designating a plurality of functions to a corresponding button or touch event, identifying the deformation or non-deformation of the electronic device, when the electronic device is deformed and button pressing or touch event occurs, executing a first function, and, when the electronic device is not deformed and the button pressing or touch event occurs, executing a second function.
Claims20
A method for providing multiple functions in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- designating a plurality of functions to a button or a touch event or a non-contact input event;
- identifying a deformation or a non-deformation of the electronic device;
- when the electronic device is deformed and pressing of the button or the touch event or the non-contact input event occurs, executing a first function;
- and
- when the electronic device is not deformed and pressing of the button or the touch event or the non-contact input event occurs, executing a second function.
An apparatus for providing multiple functions in an electronic device, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one or more processors configured to execute computer programs;
- a memory configured to store data and instructions;
- a sensor configured to provide deformation information of the electronic device to the at least one or more processors;
- and
- wherein one or more of the processors are configured to execute instructions of one or more modules stored in the memory to:
- designate a plurality of functions to a button or a touch event or a non-contact input event or a non-contact input event,
- identify a deformation or a non-deformation of the electronic device from the deformation information,
- execute a first function when the electronic device is deformed and pressing of the button or the touch event or the non-contact input event occurs, and execute a second function when the electronic device is not deformed and pressing of the button or the touch event or the non-contact input event occurs.
