Abstract
Provided are methods for changing a display range in an electronic device having a touchscreen. The method for changing a display range in an electronic device includes: detecting a plurality of touches; determining a plurality of regions in consideration of a plurality of touch points; and changing a display range of at least one region of the plurality of regions in consideration of change in a distance between the plurality of touch points.
Claims18
An electronic device comprising:
- a touch screen;
- a processor;
- a memory;
- and
- an executable program stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
- divide an image displayed on the touch screen into a plurality of regions as a function of a touch input on a first point of the touch screen, wherein the plurality of regions comprise a first region and a second region being scrolled independently of each other based on a drag input within the first region and a drag input within the second region;
- detect a first touch input on a second point of the first region and a second touch input on a third point of the second region;
- detect that the second touch input moves from the third point to a fourth point of the second region while the first touch input is maintained;
- and
- display a third region of another image which is behind the second region of the image.
A method of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- detecting a touch input on a first point of a touch screen displaying an image;
- dividing the displayed image on the touch screen into a plurality of regions as a function of a touch input location of the touch input, wherein the plurality of regions comprise a first region and a second region being scrolled independently of each other based on a drag input within the first region and a drag input within the second region;
- detecting a first touch input on a second point of the first region and a second touch input on a third point of the second region;
- detecting that the second touch input moves from the third point to a fourth point of the second region while the first touch input is maintained;
- and
- displaying a third region of another image which is behind the second region of the image.
A non-transitory computer readable storage media storing at least one instruction, the at least one instruction, when executed on a device, causing at least one processor to:
- detect a touch input on a first point of a touch screen displaying an image;
- divide the displayed image on the touch screen into a plurality of regions as a function of a touch input location of the touch input, wherein the plurality of regions comprise a first region and a second region being scrolled independently of each other based on a drag input within the first region and a drag input within the second region;
- detect a first touch input on a second point of the first region and a second touch input on a third point of the second region;
- detect that the second touch input moves from the third point to a fourth point of the second region while the first touch input is maintained;
- and
- display a third region of another image which is behind the second region of the image.
