1. A method for operating a terminal apparatus, the method comprising:
- displaying a screen including a plurality of objects on a display of the terminal apparatus;
adjusting, in response to a user'"'"'s manipulation in a touch mode for selecting an object from among the plurality of objects being received, a degree of depth of the selected object; and
displaying the selected object in accordance with the adjusted degree of depth,wherein when the degree of depth of the selected object prior to the selection is such that the selected object is not displayed in a protruded form, the touch mode is a direct touch mode for touching a surface of the display to adjust the degree of depth of the selected object such that the selected object is displayed in the protruded form, andwherein when the degree of depth of the selected object prior to the selection is such that the selected object is displayed in the protruded form, the touch mode is a near touch mode for receiving touch input at an area spaced apart from the surface of the display to adjust the degree of depth of the selected object.

14. A terminal apparatus comprising:
-
a display configured to display a screen including a plurality of objects; a plurality of sensor units, wherein one sensor unit of the plurality of sensor units is configured to detect a user'"'"'s manipulation; and a processor configured to adjust, in response to the user'"'"'s manipulation of a touch mode for selecting an object from among the plurality of objects being detected, a degree of depth of the selected object, and to control the display to display the selected object in accordance with the adjusted degree of depth, wherein when the degree of depth of the selected object prior to the selection is such that the selected object is not displayed in a protruded form, the touch mode is a direct touch mode for touching a surface of the display to adjust the degree of depth of the selected object such that the selected object is displayed in a protruded form, and when the degree of depth of the selected object prior to the selection is such that the selected object is displayed in a protruded form, the touch mode is a near touch mode for receiving touch input at an area spaced apart from the surface of the display to adjust the degree of depth of the selected object. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
