First Claim
1. A method for controlling an electronic device including a display, the method comprising:
- displaying, on the display, a user interface including at least one item;
receiving a first touch input to the user interface for selecting a first item from the displayed at least one item, wherein the first touch input is for setting a shortcut interface of the selected first item, and the shortcut interface provides a shortcut to the selected first item;
temporarily displaying a virtual image corresponding to the selected first item in a first region of the display based on the first touch input, wherein the virtual image is displayed to distinguish the selected first item from a surrounding image of the selected first item;
receiving a second touch input to the user interface for moving the virtual image from the first region to a second region on the display or for selecting the second region in the display;
setting the shortcut interface of the selected first item at the second region based on the second touch input; and
changing the set shortcut interface invisible and providing a tactile feedback on the second region,wherein the invisible shortcut interface is movable on the display by a third touch input to the display even after the shortcut interface is set at the second region, andwherein when the invisible shortcut interface is moved, the invisible shortcut interface is temporarily changed to be visible only while the invisible shortcut interface is relocated from the second region to a third region on the display by the third touch input.
