USER INTERFACE APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING REPRESENTATION OF 3D THEME FOR COVER PAGE AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A user interface apparatus for providing a representation of a three-dimensional (3D) theme for a cover page, comprising:
- a storage unit including a cover page storage unit for storing cover page theme data;
a library storage unit including a 3D graphics library for supporting two-dimensional (2D) and 3D graphics;
a display unit;
an input unit integrated with the display unit and configured to output data about coordinates of a location pressed by a user;
a kernel unit for controlling hardware devices including the storage unit, the display unit, and the input unit and processing pieces of data input/output to/from the respective hardware devices;
a user interface unit for determining whether a page to be displayed on a screen of the display unit is a cover page, and if it is determined that the page to be displayed is the cover page, rendering the cover page theme data stored in the cover page storage unit using the 3D graphics library, and displaying rendered results on the display unit; and
an Operating System (OS) processing unit for controlling the user interface unit so that the user interface unit accesses and uses the library storage unit, and so that the user interface unit accesses the hardware devices via the kernel unit and inputs/outputs data to/from the hardware devices.

Abstract
A user interface apparatus and a method of operating the user interface apparatus are provided. The user interface apparatus includes a storage unit including a cover page storage unit. A library storage unit includes a 3D graphics library for supporting 2D/3D graphics. An input unit is integrated with a display unit. A kernel unit controls hardware devices and processes pieces of data. A user interface unit determines whether a page to be displayed is a cover page, and if it is determined that the page to be displayed is the cover page, renders the cover page theme data using the 3D graphics library, and displays rendered results. An OS processing unit controls the user interface unit so that the user interface unit accesses and uses the library storage unit, and so that the user interface unit inputs/outputs data to/from the hardware devices.

6. A method of operating a user interface apparatus for providing a representation of a three-dimensional (3D) theme for a cover page, comprising:
-
a) operating, by an operating system processing unit, a user interface unit if an initial operation event is generated; b) loading, by the operated user interface unit, cover page theme data and normal page data; c) determining, by the user interface unit, whether a page to be displayed on a display unit is a cover page; d) rendering, by the user interface unit, the loaded cover page theme data using a 3D graphics library if it is determined that the page to be displayed on the display unit is a cover page; and e) displaying, by the user interface unit, rendered cover page theme data on the display unit. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
