Abstract
A method and apparatus for changing a page when an e-book terminal is inclined is provided. The method includes sensing that the e-book terminal is inclined to a left or right side, then changing a current page to a next page when the e-book terminal is inclined to the left side or changing the current page to a previous page when the e-book terminal is inclined to the right side.
Claims23
A method for displaying contents in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- in response to a touch input, detecting an angle at which the electronic device is inclined and setting the detected angle as a reference angle;
- and
- detecting an inclination angle which the electronic device is inclined with respect to the reference angle and turning a current content to a next content or a previous content according to the inclination angle of the electronic device while the touch input is maintained,
- wherein in response to detecting that the current content includes a particular item, pausing the turning of the current content to the next content or the previous content for a predetermined time period, and resuming the turning of the current content to the next content or the previous content when the predetermined time period expires.
