1. A portable device, comprising:
- a display unit configured to display at least one object;
an input unit configured to receive user input associated with a touch on the display unit, the input unit comprising an optical sensor and a touch sensor; and
a controller configured to;
identify, based on the received user input, a user input area comprising a touch area and an adjacent area,identify an object at the touch area as a touched object,generate touch information corresponding to the user input area, the touch information comprising at least one of user location information, finger touch form information, and finger type information,select, based on the generated touch information, an instruction from a plurality of instructions executable in association with the touched object, andprocess, according to the selected instruction, the touched object using the touch information,wherein the touch area corresponds to a portion of the user input area touched in association with the touch, and the adjacent area corresponds to a portion of the user input area that was not touched in association with the touch.

Abstract
A device and method for providing a user interface using information is provided. The device includes a display unit, a sensor and a controller. The display unit displays at least one graphic user interface (GUI). The sensor generates a sensor signal according to a user'"'"'s finger touch input. The controller receives the sensor signal from the sensor, identifies a touch area and an adjacent area based on the received sensor signal, generates touch finger shape-based information according to the identified touch area and the identified adjacent area, and controls the display unit to display the GUI according to the generated finger shape-based information.

13. A method for processing a user interface in a portable device, comprising:
-
displaying at least one object on a display unit; receiving user input associated with a touch on the display unit, the user input being detected by at least one of an optical sensor and a touch sensor; identifying, based on the received user input, a user input area comprising a touch area and an adjacent area; identifying an object at the touch area as a touched object; generating touch information corresponding to the user input area, the touch information comprising at least one of user location information, finger touch form information, and finger type information; selecting, based on the generated touch information, an instruction from a plurality of instructions executable in association with the touched object; and processing, according to the selected instruction, the touched object using the touch information, wherein the touch area corresponds to a portion of the user input area touched in association with the touch, and the adjacent area corresponds to a portion of the user input area that was not touched in association with the touch. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising one or more executable instructions configured to cause, when executed, a device to provide at least one object, the computer-readable storage medium comprising:
-
at least one executable instruction configured to cause, when executed, the at least one object to be displayed on a display unit; at least one instruction configured to cause, when executed, a user input associated with a touch on the display unit to be received, the user input being detected by at least one of an optical sensor and a touch sensor; at least one instruction configured to cause, when executed, a user input area comprising a touch area and an adjacent area associated with the touch on the display unit to be identified based on the user input; at least one instruction configured to cause, when executed, an object at the touch area to be identified as a touched object; at least one instruction configured to cause, when executed, touch information to be generated corresponding to the user input area, the touch information comprising at least one of the user location information, finger touch form information, and finger type information; at least one instruction configured to cause, when executed, a selection, based on the generated touch information, of an instruction from a plurality of instructions executable in association with the touched object; and at least one instruction configured to cause, when executed, the touched object to be processed, according to the selected instruction, using the touch information, wherein the touch area corresponds to a portion of the user input area touched in association with the touch, and the adjacent area corresponds to a portion of the user input area that was not touched in association with the touch.
