User terminal apparatus and method of control thereof
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium including a metro application that, when executed by a computer, performs a method of controlling a user terminal apparatus which is driven by an operating system (O/S), the method comprising:
- selecting a user interface (UI) area which corresponds to a job option and is displayed on a background screen of the operating system, the background screen comprising a main icon generated by installing the metro application and a secondary icon which corresponds to the UI area and is generated by a user;
transmitting, by the metro application, a command to perform a job according to the job option to an image forming apparatus linked to the selected UI area; and
displaying a result of performing the job of the image forming apparatus on the UI area displayed on the background screen,wherein the UI area displayed on the background screen has a shortcut format.
