1. An electronic device comprising:

  • a display screen displaying a user interface;

    a memory;

    an input device detecting a plurality of positions of an object displayed on the user interface; and

    a controller, interactively in response to one or more movements of the object detected on a grid defined by an input touch down point on the display screen, controlling the display screen to display, in real time, a data content, the data content based on a group of data choices, wherein the grid is a Cartesian coordinate system defined by the input touch down point and aligned vertically and horizontally based on the input touch down point,wherein if the controller determines the object moved substantially in a first direction on the grid relative to the input touch down point, the display screen interactively modifies, in real time, the data content based on a magnitude of the movement relative to a most recently displayed data content,if the controller determines the object moved substantially in a second direction, the controller stores, into the memory, the data content currently being displayed on the display screen, and after storing the data content currently being displayed on the display screen, controls the display screen to display another data content, andif the controller determines the object moved substantially in a third direction opposite to the second direction, the controller causes the display screen to highlight and de-commit a previous data content for modification based on a previous group of data choices.
