Abstract

An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes a display configured to display an object for an application execution, an input module configured to receive a touch manipulation on an object, and a control module configured to execute a first application if the touch manipulation ends in a first region and execute a second application if the touch manipulation ends in a second region. The control module is further configured to change an area of the first region and an area of the second region according to the number of executions or execution time of the first application and the second application.

Claims

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a display configured to display an object for an application execution;

an input module configured to receive a touch manipulation on the object; and

a control module configured to;

execute a first application if the touch manipulation ends in a first region,

execute a second application if the touch manipulation ends in a second region, and

change an area of the first region and an area of the second region according to a number of executions or execution time of the first application and the second application.

2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1, wherein the area of the first region and the area of the second region are changed in proportion to the number of executions or the execution time of the first application and the second application.

3. The electronic apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first region is one of a plurality of regions that result by passing a straight line through the object, and

wherein the second region is the another of the plurality of regions.

4. The electronic apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first region includes an inner region of an arc of a circle of which the center is the object or an edge adjacent to the object, and

wherein the second region includes an outer region of the arc of the circle of which the center is the object or an edge adjacent to the object.

5. The electronic apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first application is a front camera application and the second application is a rear camera application.

6. The electronic apparatus of claim 1, wherein the control module is further configured to perform control to display a user interface indicating the first region or the second region.

7. The electronic apparatus of claim 6, wherein the control module is further configured to perform control to display the first region and the second region with different hues, brightness or saturations.

8. The electronic apparatus of claim 6, further comprising:

a front camera configured to photograph an image in front of the electronic apparatus; and

a rear camera configured to photograph an image in the rear of the electronic apparatus,

wherein the control module is further configured to perform control to display an image photographed by the front camera in the first region and to display an image photographed by the rear camera in the second region.

9. The electronic apparatus of claim 6, wherein the control module is further configured to perform control to:

display a person image in the first region, and

display a background image in the second region.

10. An application executing method of an electronic apparatus, the application executing method comprising:

displaying an object for an application execution;

receiving a touch manipulation on the object;

executing a first application if the touch manipulation on the object ends in a first region and executing a second application if the touch manipulation ends in a second region; and

changing an area of the first region and an area of the second region according to the number of executions or execution time of the first application and the second application.

11. The application executing method of claim 10, wherein the changing of the area comprises:

changing the area of the first region and the area of the second region in proportion to the number of executions or the execution time of the first application and the second application.

12. The application executing method of claim 10, wherein the first region is one of a plurality of regions that result by passing a straight line through the object, and

wherein the second region is another of the plurality of regions.

13. The application executing method of claim 10, wherein the first region includes an inner region of an arc of a circle of which the center is the object or an edge adjacent to the object, and

wherein the second region includes an outer region of the arc of the circle of which the center is the object or an edge adjacent to the object.

14. The application executing method of claim 10, wherein the first application is a front camera application and the second application is a rear camera application.

15. The application executing method of claim 10, further comprising:

displaying a user interface indicating the first region or the second region if the touch manipulation is inputted.

16. The application executing method of claim 15, wherein the displaying of the user interface comprises:

displaying the first region and the second region with different hues, brightness, or saturations.

17. The application executing method of claim 15, wherein the displaying of the user interface comprises:

displaying an image photographed by a front camera in the first region and an image photographed by a rear camera in the second region, respectively.

18. The application executing method of claim 15, wherein the displaying of the user interface comprises:

performing control to display a person image in the first region and to display a background image in the second region.

19. A computer-readable recording medium recorded with a program which performs a method, the method comprising:

displaying an object for an application execution;

receiving a touch manipulation on the object;

executing a first application if the touch manipulation on the object ends in a first region and executing a second application if the touch manipulation ends in a second region; and

changing an area of the first region and an area of the second region according to the number of executions or execution time of the first application and the second application.
