User terminal device for supporting user interaction and methods thereof
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a user terminal device including a touch screen divided into a main surface area, a first curved surface area extended from a first side of the main surface area and a second curved surface area extended from a second side of the main surface area, the method comprising:
- receiving a first touch input on the first curved surface area and a second touch input on the second curved surface area, at least one of the first touch input and the second touch input being a drag gesture which at least one touch point contacted to a corresponding one of the first curved surface area and the second curved surface area moves along the corresponding one of the first curved surface area and the second curved surface area;
providing a portion of a home screen on the touch screen in response to the first touch input and the second touch input,wherein the portion of the home screen corresponds to an area defined by a start of the drag gesture, an end of the drag gesture, and another of the at least one of the first touch input and the second touch input.

Abstract
A method of controlling a user terminal device including a touch screen divided into a main area and at least one sub area. The touch screen includes a first surface including the main area, a second surface extending from the first surface and including the at least one sub area, and wherein the second surface is curved or bent with respect to a plane of the first surface is provided. The method includes performing an unlocking operation to activate the user terminal device, in response to a first pinch gesture being input on the at least one sub area while the user terminal device is locked; and performing a locking operation to inactivate the user terminal device, in response to a second pinch gesture being input on the at least one sub area, while the user terminal device is unlocked.

12. A method of operating a user terminal device, the method comprising:
-
providing a bent touch screen comprising a main surface area, a first curved surface area extended from a first side of the main surface area and a second curved surface area extended from a second side of the main surface area, wherein at least one of the first curved surface area and the second curved surface area is bent or curved with respect to a plane of the main surface area; receiving a first touch input on the first curved surface area and a second touch input on the second curved surface area, at least one of the first touch input and the second touch input being a drag gesture which at least one touch point contacted to a corresponding one of the first curved surface area and the second curved surface area moves along the corresponding one of the first curved surface area and the second curved surface area; and providing a portion of a home screen on the bent touch screen in response to the first touch input and the second touch input, wherein the portion of the home screen corresponds to an area defined by a start of the drag gesture, an end of the drag gesture, and another of the at least one of the first touch input and the second touch input.
