APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CHANGING AN ICON IN A PORTABLE TERMINAL
First Claim
1. An apparatus for performing an icon edit process in a portable terminal, the apparatus comprising:
- an input unit for receiving input of a gesture;
a gesture analysis unit for sensing and analyzing the gesture input through the input unit, and for identifying if the sensed gesture is an edit gesture made on an icon displayed on a display unit;
a controller, responsive to the sensed gesture being identified as not the edit gesture made on the icon, for performing an operation corresponding to the sensed gesture; and
an edit-mode performance unit, responsive to the sensed gesture being identified as the edit gesture made on the icon, for performing an edit mode of the icon edit process.

Abstract
An apparatus and method change an icon in a portable terminal. The apparatus for performing an icon edit process in the portable terminal includes an input unit, a gesture analysis unit, a controller, and an edit-mode performance unit. The input unit receives an input of a gesture by a user. After sensing and analyzing the gesture input through the input unit, the gesture analysis unit identifies if the gesture is an edit gesture made on an icon. If the gesture is not the edit gesture made on the icon, the controller performs an operation for the gesture. If the gesture is the edit gesture made on the icon, the edit-mode performance unit performs an edit mode.

8. A method for performing an icon edit process in a portable terminal, the method comprising:
-
sensing a gesture; identifying if the sensed gesture is an edit gesture made on an icon; if the sensed gesture is not the edit gesture made on the icon, performing an operation corresponding to the gesture; and if the sensed gesture is the edit gesture made on the icon, entering an edit mode for performing the icon edit process. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for performing an icon edit process in a portable terminal having an input unit, a display unit, a controller, an edit-performance unit, and a gesture analysis unit, the method comprising:
-
sensing a gesture input to the input unit; processing the sensed gesture using the gesture analysis unit to identify if the sensed gesture is an edit gesture made on an icon displayed by the display unit; if the sensed gesture is not the edit gesture made on the icon, performing an operation corresponding to the sensed gesture using the controller; and if the sensed gesture is the edit gesture made on the icon, entering an edit mode for performing the icon edit process using the edit-performance unit. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
