Abstract

A method of operating an electronic device is provided. The method includes detecting at least two object displayed contiguously, determining a line interval of the at least two objects, and reconfiguring an interval of the at least two objects based on the determined line interval.

Claims

1. A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:

detecting at least two objects displayed contiguously;

detecting a line interval of the at least two objects; and

reconfiguring the line interval of the at least two objects based on the detected line interval.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the at least two objects is all or some parts of an object included in data, the data being at least one of photographed image data, captured image data, stored program data, text-format data, and data which is input through an input device.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein each of the data is generated by the electronic device and is received from at least one other electronic device connected to the electronic device.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least two objects are a character string including one or more elements which use at least one of a spelling, a word, a symbol, a number, a design, and a pattern.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the reconfiguring of the line interval comprises changing the line interval when the line interval of the at least two objects is less than a pre-set line interval.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein a number corresponding to a line interval to be changed is determined on the basis of a height of each of the at least two objects.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the reconfiguring of the line interval comprises reconfiguring the line interval between a first baseline, determined based on a first object which is input on a first line, and a second baseline, determined based on a second object which is input on a second line.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein at least one baseline determined by the first object is obtained by connecting a specific point, determined by a rectangular grid of a first letter or first spelling of the first object, and another specific point, determined by a rectangular grid of a second letter or second spelling.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the rectangular grid is determined by a lowest height point, a highest height point, a narrowest width point, and a widest width point with respect to each letter or spelling constituting an input object in at least one coordinate configured to the touch screen with respect to the display object.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the at least one coordinate may be used to determine at least one new first coordinate axes based on an inclination of the input object located in a first coordinate corresponding to the touch screen, and may be used to determine a second coordinate consisting of the determined first coordinate axis and a second coordinate axis orthogonal to the first coordinate axis.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the at least two objects is an object which is input in a handwriting manner by using a touch input or hovering mechanism.

12. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying, on the touch screen, the at least two objects of which the line interval is reconfigured.

13. The method of claim 1, further comprising at least one of storing and transmitting the at least two objects of which the line interval is reconfigured.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the transmission of the at least two objects comprises transmitting the at least two objects to at least one of an object recognition system of the electronic device, an object recognition system of an auxiliary device of the electronic device, an object recognition system of at least one other electronic device connected to the electronic device, and an object recognition system of a server which relays data transmission/reception with respect to at least one different electronic device.

15. A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:

detecting a first object located on a first line displayed by a display unit;

detecting a second object located on a second line displayed by the display unit;

detecting whether a line interval of the first object and the second object is less than a reference interval; and

if the line interval is less than the reference interval, changing the line interval to a designated interval by reconfiguring a location of at least one of the first object and the second object.

16. An electronic device comprising:

a display unit configured to display at least two objects;

a memory configured to store information on the at least two objects in the electronic device; and

at least one processor configured to detect the at least two objects displayed contiguously, to detect a line interval of the detected at least two objects, and reconfigure the line interval of the at least two objects based on the determined line interval.

17. The electronic device of claim 16, wherein the at least one processor is configured to detect a stroke of the object for at least one element which includes at least one of a spelling, a word, a symbol, a number, a design, and a pattern.

18. The electronic device of claim 16, wherein the at least one processor is configured to reconfigure the line interval based on the at least two objects if the line interval is less than a line interval which is pre-set in the electronic device.

19. The electronic device of claim 16, wherein the processor is configured to acquire a height of each object, to change the determined line interval based on the acquired height, and to reconfigure the at least two objects based on the changed line interval.

20. A computer readable recording medium configured to store at least one of an application and a program configured to perform operations of:

detecting at least two objects displayed contiguously;

detecting a line interval of the at least two objects; and

reconfiguring the line interval of the at least two objects based on the detected line interval.

21. An electronic device, the electronic device comprising:

a display unit configured to display a first object located on a first line and to display a second object located on a second line displayed by the display unit; and

a processor configured to detect the first object and the second object displayed by the display unit, to determine whether a line interval between the first object and the second object is less than a reference interval, and to change the line interval to a designated interval by reconfiguring a location of at least one of the first object and the second object if the line interval is less than the reference interval.

22. The electronic device of claim 21, wherein the processor is configured to detect a stroke of at least one of the first object and the second object for at least one element which includes at least one of a spelling, a word, a symbol, a number, a design, and a pattern.

23. The electronic device of claim 21, wherein the processor is configured to acquire respective heights of the first object and the second object, to change the line interval based on the acquired respective heights, and move a position of the first object and the second object based on the line interval that is the designated interval.

24. The electronic device of claim 21, further comprising a communication system configured to transmit the first object and the second object of which the line interval is changed.

25. The electronic device of claim 21, wherein the communication system is configured to transmit the first object and the second object to at least one of an object recognition system of the electronic device, an object recognition system of an auxiliary device of the electronic device, an object recognition system of at least one other electronic device connected to the electronic device, and an object recognition system of a server which relays data transmission/reception with respect to at least one different electronic device.
