METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EXECUTING APPLICATION USING MULTIPLE INPUT TOOLS ON TOUCHSCREEN DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method of operating a touch screen device, the method comprising:
- identifying a first operation tool based on contact by the first operation tool, the contact being sensed on the touch screen device;
setting an operation area on the touch screen device based on an area designated by the contact by the first operation tool;
identifying a second operation tool based on access by the second operation tool, the access being sensed on the touch screen device;
sensing an operation gesture of the second operation tool within the operation area by using the second operation tool, wherein the second operation tool moves on the first operation tool and the first operation tool is in contact with the touch screen device; and
performing an action corresponding to the sensed operation gesture of the second operation tool from among actions that are previously registered in an interaction database (DB) of the touch screen device.

Abstract
Provided are a method of performing an event action by using a touch screen device based on operation gestures that are simultaneously input by using multiple operation tools and the touch screen device. The method includes: identifying a first operation tool based on contact by the first operation tool, the contact being sensed on the touch screen device; setting an operation area on the touch screen device based on an area designated by the contact by the first operation tool; identifying a second operation tool based on access by the second operation tool, the access being sensed on the touch screen device; sensing an operation gesture of the second operation tool within the operation area by using the second operation tool.

14. A touch screen device, comprising:
-
a touch screen unit that includes a display unit and a touch panel for outputting a display screen by converting image data to an electrical image signal; a first operation tool sensing unit that senses contact by a first operation tool on the touch screen device and determines a position at which the first operation tool contacts the touch screen device; a second operation tool sensing unit that senses access by a second operation tool on the touch screen and determines an input position of the second operation tool; an operation action management unit that determines an action corresponding to an operation gesture of the second operation tool sensed in an operation area by the second operation tool, which moves on the first operation tool, from among actions that are previously registered in an interaction database (DB) of the touch screen device, and that outputs a control signal so that the action is performed; and a network unit that transmits or receives data to or from an external device.

15. A method of operating a touch screen device, the method comprising:
-
identifying a first operation tool based on contact by the first operation tool, the contact being sensed on a touch screen; and setting an operation area on the touch screen based on an area designated by the contact by the first operation tool, wherein the identifying of a first operation tool comprises identifying based on a pattern formed of positions of a plurality of contact points arranged on the sensed first operation tool. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
