ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND UI PROVIDING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18200887 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND UI PROVIDING METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic apparatus with a display and processors that control the display to show a user interface (UI) screen with graphical user interface (GUI) items. The apparatus can identify the input type of a wheel on a user input device based on its rotation distance or speed, and then control the display accordingly.

  • The electronic apparatus has a display and processors.
  • The display shows a UI screen with GUI items.
  • A focus GUI is located on a specific GUI item.
  • The apparatus can identify the input type of a wheel on a user input device.
  • The input type is determined based on the rotation distance or speed of the wheel.
  • The display is controlled based on the identified input type.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Smartphones, tablets, or other handheld devices with touchscreens that can also utilize wheel inputs.
  • Gaming consoles or controllers that incorporate wheel inputs for enhanced gameplay.
  • Smart TVs or other entertainment systems that can be controlled using a wheel input device.
  • Industrial or medical equipment that require precise control and can benefit from wheel inputs.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Enhanced user experience by providing an additional input method through wheel inputs.
  • Simplified navigation and interaction with GUI items using the wheel input device.
  • Improved control and precision in various applications that require wheel inputs.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased versatility and flexibility in user input options.
  • Improved accessibility for individuals who may have difficulty using traditional touchscreens or buttons.
  • Enhanced user interface design possibilities by incorporating wheel inputs.
  • Greater control and precision in various applications that can benefit from wheel inputs.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic apparatus comprising: a display; and one or more processors configured to: control the display to display a user interface (UI) screen including a plurality of graphical user interface (GUI) items and a focus GUI located on a first GUI item from the plurality of GUI items, identify, based on at least one of a rotation distance or a rotation speed of a wheel on a user input device, an input type of the wheel input from a plurality of input types of wheel inputs, and control the display based on identification of the wheel input as one of a first input type, second input type, and third input type.
