METHOD FOR PROVIDING USER INTERFACE BASED ON PHYSICAL ENGINE AND AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREOF
First Claim
1. A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:
- setting a virtual physical field in at least one region in a screen;
mapping a User Interface (UI) object to be displayed in the at least one region to at least one virtual physical object in the physical field;
assigning a physical attribute to the at least one virtual physical object;
determining a state of the at least one physical object on the basis of the physical field and the physical attribute of the UI object by using a physical engine, the state including at least one of a location, a form, a shape, and a color; and
displaying the UI object according to the state of the at least one virtual physical object.

Abstract
A method for operating an electronic device is provided. The method includes setting a virtual physical field in at least one region in a screen, mapping a UI object to be displayed in the at least one region to at least one virtual physical object in the physical field, assigning a physical attribute to the at least one virtual physical object, determining a state of the at least one physical object on the basis of the physical field and the physical attribute of the UI object by using a physical engine, the state including at least one of a location, a form, a shape, and a color, and displaying the UI object according to the state of the at least one virtual physical object.

21. An electronic device comprising:
-
at least one processor configured to set a virtual physical field in at least one region in a screen, to map a UI object to be displayed in the at least one region to at least one virtual physical object in the physical field, to assign a physical attribute to the at least one virtual physical object, and to determine a state of the at least one physical object on the basis of the physical field and the physical attribute of the UI object by using a physical engine; and a display unit configured to display the UI object according to the state of the at least one virtual physical object, wherein the state includes at least one of a location, a form, a shape, and a color. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40)
