Abstract
A method for providing a UI in a portable terminal shows background images corresponding to physical states, such as the temperature, or of a physical layout of buildings, roads, etc. The method for providing a UI in a portable terminal, includes: collecting environmental information around the portable terminal; extracting an image set corresponding to the collected environmental information, and image change information; sensing a tilted state of the portable terminal; and changing and displaying the extracted image according to the sensed tilted state of the portable and the extracted image change information.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining, at a first device, environmental information external to the first device;
- presenting a representation corresponding to data based at least in part on the environmental information via the first device;
- transmitting the data from the first device to a second device external to the first device in response to a motion of the first device;
- and
- presenting at least one property of the representation as changed based at least in part on a progress of the transmitting of the data.
An apparatus comprising:
- a sensor to detect a motion of the apparatus;
- and
- a processor-implemented controller configured to:
- obtain environmental information external to the apparatus;
- present a representation corresponding to data based at least in part on the environmental information;
- transmit the data from the apparatus to another apparatus external to the apparatus in response to the motion;
- and
- present at least one property of the representation as changed based at least in part on a progress of the transmitting of the data.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining, at a first device, environmental information external to the first device;
- presenting a representation corresponding to data based at least in part on the environmental information via the first device;
- transmitting the data from the first device to a second device external to the first device in response to a motion of the first device;
- and
- presenting at least one property of the representation as changed based at least in part on a progress of the transmitting of the data.
