A method of controlling an electronic device comprising:
- displaying a lock screen user interface on a touch sensitive display of the electronic device, wherein the touch sensitive display is capable of detecting contact with a user body or a stylus pen;
- detecting a user input through the touch sensitive display while displaying the lock screen user interface;
- determining whether the detected user input is made with a stylus pen;
- displaying, if the detected user input is made with the stylus pen, a drawing on the lock screen user interface, wherein the drawing comprises one or more marks corresponding to the user input made with the stylus pen;
- determining whether the user input made with the stylus pen is a predefined input;
- and
- replacing, if the user input made with the stylus pen is the predefined input, the lock screen user interface with an execution screen of an application, wherein the application corresponds to the user input made with the stylus pen.
A mobile apparatus comprising:
- a display;
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory configured to store instructions to cause the processor to:
- display a lock screen user interface on a touch sensitive display of the electronic device, wherein the touch sensitive display is capable of detecting a contact with a user body or a stylus pen;
- detect a user input through the touch sensitive display while displaying the lock screen user interface;
- determine whether the detected user input is made with a stylus pen;
- display, if the detected user input is made with the stylus pen, a drawing on the lock screen user interface, wherein the drawing comprises one or more marks corresponding to the user input made with the stylus pen;
- determine whether the user input made with the stylus pen is a predefined input;
- and
- replace, if the user input made with the stylus pen is the predefined input, the lock screen user interface with an execution screen of an application, wherein the application corresponds to the user input made with the stylus pen.
