Patent Images
1. A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- displaying a text including one or more paragraphs;
after displaying the text, detecting a user touch input drawing a vertical indicator overlapping the text displayed on a display;
displaying, in a region in which the user touch input is inputted, the vertical indicator overlapping the text displayed on the display;
determining one or more paragraphs overlapped with at least one part of the vertical indicator among the one or more paragraphs included in the text;
detecting a motion input across the vertical indicator; and
in response to detecting the motion input across the vertical indicator, indenting, by an indentation distance, the determined one or more paragraphs based on a position of the vertical indicator and an intensity of the motion input across the vertical indicator,wherein the indentation distance is a horizontal distance between a virtual vertical line representing left margin of the determined one or more paragraphs and the vertical indicator.

6. An electronic device, comprising;
-
a display configured to; display a text including one or more paragraphs; after displaying the text, detect a user touch input drawing a vertical indicator overlapping the text displayed on the display; display, in a region in which the user touch input is inputted, the vertical indicator overlapping the text displayed on the display; and a processor configured to; determine one or more paragraphs overlapped with at least part of the vertical indicator among the one or more paragraphs included in the text; a motion sensor configured to detect a motion input across the vertical indicator; and wherein the processor further configured to, in response to detecting the motion input across the vertical indicator, indent, by an indentation distance, the determined one or more paragraphs based on a position of the vertical indicator and an intensity of the motion input across the vertical indicator, wherein the indentation distance is a horizontal distance between a virtual vertical line representing left margin of the determined one or more paragraphs and the vertical indicator. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
