Abstract
An electronic apparatus comprising: a display; and one or more processors configured to: control the display to display a user interface (UI) screen including a plurality of graphical user interface (GUI) items and a focus GUI located on a first GUI item from the plurality of GUI items, identify, based on at least one of a rotation distance or a rotation speed of a wheel on a user input device, an input type of the wheel input from a plurality of input types of wheel inputs, and control the display based on identification of the wheel input as one of a first input type, second input type, and third input type.
Claims15
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a display;
- and
- one or more processors configured to:
- control the display to display a user interface (UI) screen including a plurality of graphical user interface (GUI) items and a focus GUI located on a first GUI item from the plurality of GUI items,
- identify, based on at least one of a rotation distance or a rotation speed of a wheel input, an input type of the wheel input from a plurality of input types of wheel inputs,
- based on identification of the wheel input as a first input type, control the display to provide a first UI feedback to at least one of the first GUI item, a second GUI item corresponding to the rotation direction of the wheel input, or the focus GUI,
- based on identification of the wheel input as a second input type, control the display to move the focus GUI to the second GUI item and display the focus GUI, and
- based on identification of the wheel input as a third input type, control the display to provide a second UI feedback to the focus GUI while continuously moving the focus GUI sequentially through the plurality of GUI items corresponding to the rotation direction of the wheel input.
A method of providing a UI of an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:
- displaying a user interface (UI) screen including a plurality of graphical user interface (GUI) items and a focus GUI located on a first GUI item from the plurality of GUI items;
- identifying, based on at least one of a rotation distance or a rotation speed of a wheel input, an input type of the wheel input from a plurality of input types of wheel inputs;
- and
- controlling the UI screen based on the identified input type of the wheel input, and
- wherein the controlling of the UI screen includes,
- based on identification of the wheel input as a first input type, providing a first UI feedback to at least one of the first GUI item, a second GUI item corresponding to the rotation direction of the wheel input, or the focus GUI,
- based on identification of the wheel input as a second input type, moving the focus GUI to the second GUI item and displaying the focus GUI, and
- based on identification of the wheel input as a third input type, providing a second UI feedback to the focus GUI while continuously moving the focus GUI sequentially through a plurality of GUI items corresponding to the rotation direction of the wheel input.
