USER INTERFACE FOR CONTROLLING RELEASE OF A LOCK STATE IN A TERMINAL
First Claim
1. A method of providing a user interface, the method comprising:
- displaying on a screen a lock image with respect to at least a partial user interface and an object for changing a lock state to a release state;
sensing a first contact of a touch gesture on the object;
determining a distance between the object and a second contact of the touch gesture in response to the first contact on the object; and
changing the lock state to the release state and removing the lock image from the screen when the distance between the object and the second contact is greater than a preset threshold.

Abstract
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for providing a user interface. The apparatus for providing a user interface, includes a controller operating such that a lock image with respect to at least a partial user interface and an object for changing a lock state to a release state are displayed on a screen, and a touch sensor sensing a first contact of a touch gesture on the object, wherein the controller determines a distance between the object and a second contact of the touch gesture with respect to the first contact on the object, and changes the lock state to the release state and the removes the lock image from the screen when the distance between the object and the second contact of the touch gesture is greater than a preset threshold.

5. A method of providing a user interface, the method comprising:
-
displaying on a screen a lock image with respect to at least a partial user interface and an object for changing a lock state to a release state; sensing a first contact of a touch gesture on the object; activating a virtual preset touch line having a looped curve shape surrounding the object in response to the first contact on the object; and changing the lock state to the release state and removing the lock image from the screen when a second contact of the touch gesture is located in an area outside of the virtual preset touch line. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An apparatus for providing a user interface, the apparatus comprising:
-
a controller controlling a display of a lock image in a lock state with respect to at least a partial user interface and an object for changing the lock state to a release state; and a sensor sensing a first contact of a touch gesture on the object, wherein the controller; activates a virtual preset touch line having a looped curve shape surrounding the object in response to the first contact on the object; and changes the lock state to the release state and removes the lock image from the display when a second contact of the touch gesture is located in an area outside of the virtual preset touch line. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
