## Abstract

A user terminal apparatus is provided. The user terminal apparatus includes a display configured to provide a screen including an editing object, a user interface unit configured to receive a user operation, and a controller configured to control to display a first wheel navigation User Interface (UI) in a region of the screen when a preset event is generated, the first wheel navigation UI including at least one editing menu related to an attribute of the editing object and being rotatable according to the user operation.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A user terminal apparatus comprising:
a display configured to provide a screen including an editing object;
a user interface unit configured to receive a user operation; and
a controller configured to control to display a first wheel navigation User Interface (UI) in a region of the screen when a preset event is generated, the first wheel navigation UI including at least one editing menu related to an attribute of the editing object and being rotatable according to the user operation.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The user terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the preset event includes a double-tap operation with respect to a preset region including the editing object.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The user terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein, when an editing menu is selected on the first wheel navigation UI, the controller displays a second wheel navigation UI including a lower-level menu of the selected editing menu,
wherein the second wheel navigation UI includes a return button configured to return to displaying the first wheel navigation UI.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The user terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller indicates that the first wheel navigation UI is in a movable state when a user operation corresponding to a preset region on the first wheel navigation UI is detected, and
wherein the controller moves a location of the first wheel navigation UI and displays the first wheel navigation UI according to a user's drag operation when the user's drag operation is detected.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The user terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 4, wherein the user operation corresponding to the preset region is a long-tap operation with respect to a central region of the first wheel navigation UI, and
wherein the movable state is a state in which the first wheel navigation UI is extended.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The user terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein, if a preset touch operation with a screen region after the editing object is copied through a copy menu from among editing menus included in the first wheel navigation UI is detected, then the controller displays a paste menu in a preset distance range from a region in which a cursor is located on the screen.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The user terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller displays a third wheel navigation UI having a hemispherical shape, the third wheel navigation UI being disposed in a corner region on the screen and including a preset basic editing menu according to a user command.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The user terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein, when one from among a plurality of upper-level menus constituting the basic editing menu is selected by a touch operation, the controller moves the selected upper-level menu to a preset location by rotating the third wheel navigation UI, and
wherein the controller extends and displays a lower-level menu corresponding to the selected upper-level menu in a peripheral region having a hemispherical shape.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The user terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein, when one from among a plurality of upper-level menus constituting the basic editing menu moves to a preset location according to a user's rotation operation, the controller extends and displays a lower-level menu corresponding to the moved upper-level menu in the peripheral region of the hemispherical shape.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The user terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 7, further comprising a feedback providing unit configured to provide feedback according to a user's operation,
wherein the controller controls the feedback providing unit to provide haptic feedback according to a rotation state when the third wheel navigation UI is rotated according to a user's touch operation.

### Claim 11

A method of controlling a user terminal apparatus, the method comprising:
providing a screen including an editing object; and
displaying a first wheel navigation User Interface (UI) in a region of the screen when a preset event is generated, the first wheel navigation UI including at least one editing menu related to an attribute of the editing object and being rotatable according to a user operation.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The method as claimed in claim 11, further comprising, when an editing menu is selected on the first wheel navigation UI, displaying a second wheel navigation UI including a lower-level menu of the selected editing menu.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The method as claimed in claim 12, wherein the second wheel navigation UI includes a return button configured to return to displaying the first wheel navigation UI.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The method as claimed in claim 11, further comprising:
indicating that the first wheel navigation UI is in a movable state when a user operation corresponding to a preset region on the first wheel navigation UI is detected; and
moving a location of the first wheel navigation UI and displaying the first wheel navigation according to a user's drag operation when the user's drag operation is detected in a state to indicate that the first wheel navigation UI is a movable state.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the user operation corresponding to the preset region is a long-tap operation with respect to a central region of the first wheel navigation UI, and
wherein the movable state is a state in which the first wheel navigation UI is extended.

### Claim 16 (depends on 11)

The method as claimed in claim 11, further comprising, if a preset touch operation with a screen region after the editing object is copied through a copy menu from among editing menus included in the first wheel navigation UI is detected, then displaying a paste menu in a preset distance range from a region in which a cursor is located on the screen.

### Claim 17 (depends on 11)

The method as claimed in claim 11, further comprising displaying a third wheel navigation UI having a hemispherical shape, the third wheel navigation UI being disposed in a region on the screen and including a preset basic editing menu according to a user command.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The method as claimed in claim 17, further comprising, when one from among a plurality of upper-level menus constituting the basic editing menu is selected, moving the selected upper-level menu to a preset location by rotating the third wheel navigation UI; and
extending and displaying a lower-level menu corresponding to the selected upper-level menu in a peripheral region having a hemispherical shape.

### Claim 19 (depends on 17)

The method as claimed in claim 17, further comprising, when one from among a plurality of upper-level menus constituting the basic editing menu moves to a preset location according to a user's rotation operation, extending and displaying a lower-level menu corresponding to the moved upper-level menu in a peripheral region of a hemispherical shape.

### Claim 20 (depends on 17)

The method as claimed in claim 17, further comprising providing haptic feedback according to a rotation state when the third wheel navigation UI is rotated according to a user's touch operation.
