Electronic device and method for identifying line corresponding to stroke by using gesture for inputting stroke

Abstract

An electronic device and a method for identifying a line corresponding to a stroke by using a gesture for inputting the stroke are provided. The electronic device includes a display, memory storing one or more computer programs, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the display and the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more the processors individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to display, in response to identifying an external object dragged on the display, a stroke based on a trajectory of the dragged external object, while identifying that the external object is dragged, display, in response to identifying that the dragged external object is contacted within an area having a preset size in the display during a first time section, a line in association with the stroke, and while identifying that the external object is dragged, rotate, in response to identifying that the dragged external object is contacted with the area during a second time section after the first time section, the line based on a trajectory of the external object being dragged to another area different from the area after the second time section.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
