Abstract

A user terminal device and a method for displaying on a user terminal device. The method includes displaying a first screen, detecting a user interaction to rotate the first screen while the first screen is displayed, and in response to the detected user interaction, displaying the first screen in a rotated state in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction at a predetermined angle and displaying a second screen related to the rotated first screen on at least one of a plurality of corner areas of the user terminal device.

Claims

1. A method of displaying comprising:

displaying a first screen on a display of a user terminal device;

detecting a user interaction to rotate the first screen while the first screen is displayed;

rotating the first screen based on the detecting; and

displaying the rotated first screen and a second screen related to the rotated first screen on at least one of a plurality of corner areas of the display of the user terminal device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein, the rotating comprises rotating the first screen at a predetermined angle in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, based on the detecting and wherein an area of the rotated first screen is smaller than an area of the displayed first screen before the rotating.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the predetermined angle is between 40 degrees and 50 degrees.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the user interaction is one of:

a user interaction to rotate the user terminal device in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction so that the user terminal device is in a diamond shape, a user interaction to touch the display in which the first screen is displayed and then drag from the touch point of the display in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, and a user interaction to drag at least one side of a bezel of the user terminal device.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the rotated first screen is in a square shape and the second screen is in an isosceles triangle shape, and

wherein the rotated first screen and the second screen share one side.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein, in response to an image content being displayed in the rotated first screen, a function related to the image content is displayed in the second screen.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein, in response to an image content being displayed in the rotated first screen, at least a part of another image content of an image content list, which comprises the image content, is displayed in the second screen.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein, in response to a first application being displayed in the rotated first screen, icons of second applications related to the first application are displayed in the second screen.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

detecting another user interaction to drag at least one side of the display of the user terminal device or at least one side of a bezel of the user terminal device and determining at least one of a dragging amount and a direction of said another user interaction; and

changing a size of the rotated first screen based on at least one of the determined dragging amount and the determined direction.

10. A method of displaying comprising:

displaying a first screen on a display of a user terminal device;

detecting a user interaction on the display;

in response to the detected user interaction and based on the displayed first screen being rotated in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction at a predetermined angle, displaying a second screen instead of the first screen,

in response to the detected user interaction and based on the displayed first screen being not rotated, displaying a third screen instead of the first screen, and

wherein the first screen, the second screen, and the third screen are different from each other.

11. A user terminal device, comprising:

a display configured to display a first screen;

a detector configured to detect a user interaction to rotate the first screen while the display displays the first screen; and

a controller configured to control the display to rotate the first screen based on the detected user interaction by the detector and configured to control the display to display the rotated first screen, and to display a second screen related to the rotated first screen on at least one of a plurality of corner areas of the display.

12. The device of claim 11, wherein the rotation comprises rotating the first screen at a predetermined angle in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, based on the detecting from the detector and wherein an area of the rotated first screen is smaller than an area of the displayed first screen before the rotating.

13. The device of claim 12, wherein the predetermined angle is between 40 degrees and 50 degrees.

14. The device of claim 11, wherein the user interaction is one of:

a user interaction to rotate the user terminal device in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction so that the user terminal device is in a diamond shape, a user interaction to touch the display in which the first screen is displayed and then drag from the touch point of the display in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, and a user interaction to drag at least one side of a bezel of the user terminal device.

15. The device of claim 11, wherein the rotated first screen is in a square shape and the second screen is in an isosceles triangle shape, and

wherein the rotated first screen and the second screen share one side.

16. The device of claim 11, wherein, in response to an image content being displayed in the rotated first screen, a function related to the image content is displayed in the second screen.

17. The device of claim 11, wherein, in response to an image content being displayed in the rotated first screen, at least a part of another image content of an image content list comprising the image content, is displayed in the second screen.

18. The device of claim 11, wherein, in response to a first application being displayed on the rotated first screen, icons of second applications related to the first application are displayed in the second screen.

19. The device of claim 11, wherein the detector detects another user interaction to drag at least one side of the display or at least one side of a bezel of the user terminal device and the controller determines at least one of a dragging amount and a direction of said another user interaction, and

wherein the controller, controls the display to change a size of the rotated first screen according to the determined dragging amount or the determined direction of the user interaction.

20. A user terminal device, comprising:

a display configured to display a first screen;

a detector configured to detect a user interaction on the display; and

a controller configured to, in response to the detected user interaction by the detector and based on the displayed first screen being rotated in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction at a predetermined angle, control the display to display a second screen instead of the first screen,

in response to the detected user interaction by the detector and based on the displayed first screen being not rotated, control the display to display a third screen instead of the first screen, and

wherein the first screen, the second screen, and the third screen are different from each other.
