APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3D) OBJECT
First Claim
1. An apparatus to display a three-dimensional (3D) object, the apparatus comprising:
- a display panel to display the 3D object having plural faces;
an object generating unit to rotate the displayed 3D object in a rotation direction of the apparatus to display a second face of the 3D object toward the user if at least one of a first operation and a second operation occurs, the first operation being that the apparatus is rotated while a user touches a first face of the plural faces of the 3D object and the second operation being that the face of the user is rotated while the user touches the first of the plural faces of the 3D object; and
a control unit to perform a function mapped to the second face displayed toward the user.

Abstract
Provided are an apparatus and a method for displaying a three-dimensional (3D) object. The apparatus may include a display panel to display a 3D object having plural faces, an object generating unit to rotate the displayed 3D object in a rotation direction of the apparatus to display a second face of the 3D object toward the user if at least one of a first operation and a second operation occurs, the first operation being that the apparatus is rotated while a user is touching a first face of the plural faces of the 3D object and the second operation being that the face of the user is rotated while the user is touching the first face of the plural faces of the 3D object, and a control unit to perform a function mapped to the other face displayed toward the user.

9. A method for displaying a 3D object of an apparatus, the method comprising:
-
displaying the 3D object having plural faces; detecting occurrence of at least one of a first operation and a second operation, the first operation being that the apparatus is rotated while a first face of the plural faces of the 3D object is touched by a user and the second operation being that the face of the user is rotated while the first face of the plural faces of the 3D object is touched by the user; rotating and displaying the displayed 3D object in a rotation direction of the apparatus so that a second face of the 3D object is displayed toward the user; and performing a function mapped to the second face displayed toward the user. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. An apparatus to display a three-dimensional (3D) object, the apparatus comprising:
-
a display panel to display the 3D object having plural faces; an object generating unit to rotate the displayed 3D object in a relative direction of the apparatus with respect to a user while the user touches a first face of the 3D object to display a second face of the 3D object toward the user according to a relative angle of the apparatus with respect to the user; and a control unit to perform a function mapped to the second face displayed toward the user if the touch of the first face of the 3D object is released. - View Dependent Claims (17)
