First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a touch screen display; and
a controller configured to;
display a first locked screen including a volume control icon by controlling the touch screen display;
in response to detecting a first touch gesture originating from the volume control icon and moving across the touch screen, switch the first locked screen to a second locked screen including the volume control icon and a plurality of volume control levels selectable by a second touch gesture continuing from the first gesture by controlling the touch screen display, wherein the volume control icon remains stationary while the first touch gesture moves across the touch screen; and
in response to detecting the second touch gesture continuing from the first touch gesture traversing over the plurality of volume control levels, set a volume of the apparatus to a magnitude corresponding to a first volume control level on the second locked screen based on a distance the second touch gesture traverses through the plurality of volume control levels,wherein the second touch gesture includes a touch drag input extended from a touch input to the plurality of volume control levels and directed in an upward motion toward the center of the touch screen display.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for executing a shortcut function in a portable terminal are provided, in which a display is included, a memory stores at least one drag pattern, a hold screen shortcut list, and a volume control menu, and a controller displays a hold screen by executing a hold function, recognizes a drag pattern received from a user, compares the recognized drag pattern with the stored at least one drag pattern, and executes the hold screen shortcut function for executing the shortcut function during executing the hold function when the recognized drag pattern is identical to a first drag pattern among the stored at least one drag pattern.

8. A method comprising:
-
displaying a first locked screen including a volume control icon by controlling a touch screen display of an apparatus; in response to detecting a first touch gesture originating from the volume control icon and moving across the touch screen, switching the first locked screen to a second locked screen including the volume control icon and a plurality of volume control levels selectable by a second touch gesture continuing from the first gesture by controlling the touch screen display, wherein the volume control icon remains stationary while the first touch gesture moves across the touch screen; and in response to detecting the second touch gesture continuing from the first touch gesture traversing over the plurality of volume control levels, setting a volume of the apparatus to a magnitude corresponding to a first volume control level on the second locked screen, based on a distance the second touch gesture traverses through the plurality of volume control levels, wherein the second touch gesture includes a touch drag input extended from a touch input to the plurality of volume control levels and directed in an upward motion toward the center of the touch screen display. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16)
