METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DEFINING OVERLAY REGION OF USER INTERFACE CONTROL
First Claim
1. A method of defining an overlay region for an application in a user interface control region on a screen of a display in a mobile device, the method comprising:
- querying, by the application, a platform of the mobile device about an overlay region desired to be generated based on a basic resolution set in the application; and
generating, when the application receives an approximate region satisfying an overlay region condition preset for the queried overlay region from the platform, an overlay region corresponding to the approximate region.

Abstract
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for defining an overlay region for an application in a user interface control region on a screen of a display in a mobile device. The application queries a platform about an overlay region desired to be generated based on a basic resolution set in the application. The platform calculates an approximate region satisfying an overlay region condition for the queried overlay region and informs the application of the approximate region. Thereafter, the application generates an overlay region corresponding to the approximate region, and the platform displays the generated overlay region on the screen.
