Method and apparatus for controlling number input in an electronic device
First Claim
1. A method of providing a user interface screen of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- displaying, by a display of the electronic device, a user interface screen including a first number of at least one number;
detecting a first user gesture on the user interface screen;
in response to detecting the first user gesture on the user interface screen, determining a unit of measurement of the first number and changing the user interface screen to display a first arrangement of additional numbers, included in a first number range;
detecting a second user gesture on the user interface screen; and
displaying, in response to detecting the second user gesture on the user interface screen including the first arrangement, a second arrangement of additional numbers included in a second number range and a third arrangement of additional numbers included in a third number range,wherein the first user gesture is a long touch and the second user gesture is a drag input, and the first user gesture and the second user gesture are continuously inputted on the user interface screen,wherein the second number range and the third number range are changed depending on a dragged length of the drag input of the second user gesture, andwherein the first number range, the second number range, and third number range do not overlap each other, and the second number range and the third number range are each scaled in the determined unit of measurement of the first number.
