Electronic device and method of controlling the same
First Claim
1. A method of controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving first and second touch inputs relative to a display of the electronic device;
displaying a three-dimensional (3D) graphical user interface (GUI) on the display;
activating and enlarging the displayed 3D GUI responsive to receiving both the first and second touch inputs within a defined time period;
receiving a stroke input proximate to the enlarged 3D GUI;
rotating the enlarged 3D GUI in a direction that corresponds to a direction of the stroke input;
establishing a connection between the electronic device and at least one external electronic device in a Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) network;
identifying a connection state relating to the established connection; and
changing the displayed 3D GUI for executing a control operation in the at least one external electronic device according to the identified connection state.

2. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a display unit displaying information; a communication unit communicating with a plurality of external electronic devices in a network; and a processor; receiving first and second touch inputs relative to the display unit; causing the display unit to display a three-dimensional (3D) graphical user interface (GUI); activating and enlarging the displayed 3D GUI responsive to receiving both the first and second touch inputs within a defined time period; receiving a stroke input proximate to the enlarged 3D GUI; rotating the enlarged 3D GUI in a direction that corresponds to a direction of the stroke input; establishing a connection between the electronic device and at least one of the plurality of external electronic devices in a Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) network; identifying a connection state relating to the established connection; and changing the displayed 3D GUI for executing a control operation in the at least one of the plurality of external electronic devices according to the identified connection state. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
