Touch input device and method for portable device
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- displaying, via a display operatively coupled with an electronic device, a plurality of data objects; and
identifying an input corresponding to at least one data object of the plurality of data objects;
wherein;
a first function, corresponding with a first boundary, using at least one portion of content corresponding to the at least one data object is performed based, at least in part, on a determination that the input moves towards a first direction corresponding to the first boundary of the display, and that the input reaches the first boundary or moves faster than a specified speed; and
a second function, corresponding with a second boundary, using the at least one portion of the content is performed based, at least in part, on a determination that the input moves towards a second direction corresponding to the second boundary of the display, and that the input reaches the second boundary or moves faster than a specified speed.

Abstract
A touch input device and method for a portable device that is capable of inputting various user commands with diversified touch events detected on a touch screen is provided. A touch input method for a mobile terminal having a touch screen may include displaying a plurality of representative images representing content objects on the touch screen, selecting at least one representative image in response to a first command designated for a first touch event on the touch screen, and executing a second command designated for a second touch event on the touch screen. The second touch event may be defined by a movement direction, speed, a lift position of a touch, and the representative images selected by the first command.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
a display to present a plurality of data objects; and a controller configured to; identify an input corresponding to at least one data object of the plurality of data objects; perform, in response to a determination that a direction of the input moves towards a first direction corresponding to a first boundary of the display and that the input reaches the first boundary or moves faster than a specified speed, a first function using at least one portion of content corresponding to the at least one data object, the first function corresponding with the first boundary; and perform, in response to a determination that a direction of the input moves towards a second direction corresponding to a second boundary of the display and that the input reaches the second boundary or moves faster than a specified speed, a second function using the at least one portion of the content, the second function corresponding with the second boundary. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus comprising:
-
a display to present a plurality of data objects; and a controller configured to; present a first indication representing a first function in a region of the display; identify an input related to at least one data object of the plurality of data objects presented via the display; and present a second indication representing a second function in relation with the at least one data object, the second function selected based, at least in part, on a number or content of the at least one data object, wherein; the first function is performed based on a determination that the input reaches a first boundary of the display or that the input moves faster than a specified speed, the first function corresponding with the first boundary; and the second function is performed based on a determination that the input reaches a second boundary of the display or that the input moves faster than a specified speed, the second function corresponding with the second boundary. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
