Abstract

Various embodiments of the present invention relate to a method for displaying a stylus pen input, and an electronic device for same, the electronic device including: a touch screen display; a wireless communication circuit; processors operatively connected to the touch screen display and the wireless communication circuit; and a memory operatively connected to the processor. The memory may store instructions which, when executed, cause at least one of the processors to: display a user interface on the touch screen display; receive a drawing input that has at least one drawing path formed with a stylus pen or part of a user's body through the user interface; and display a drawing output on the user interface. The drawing output includes: a first layer including a plurality of first objects having shapes selected along the drawing path; and a second layer including a plurality of moving second objects having the selected shapes, wherein the plurality of moving second objects can move from the drawing path in at least one selected direction.

Claims (48)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a touchscreen display;

a wireless communication circuit;

a processor configured to be operatively connected to the touchscreen display and the wireless communication circuit; and

a memory configured to be operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:

display a user interface on the touchscreen display;

receive a drawing input having a drawing path by a stylus pen or a body part of a user through the user interface; and

display a drawing output corresponding to the drawing input on the user interface,

wherein the drawing output comprises:

a first layer comprising a plurality of first objects that are generated to have a selected shape and are displayed along the drawing path, and

a second layer comprising a plurality of animated second objects that are generated to have the selected shape and are displayed as moving away from the drawing path in at least one selected direction at positions that are a same as or adjacent to positions of the plurality of first objects on the drawing path.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of animated second objects decreases in size while moving in the at least one selected direction.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one selected direction comprises an upward direction or a downward direction of the user interface.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to:

identify a color selected through the user interface;

determine a color combination based on the identified color; and

display the drawing output comprising the plurality of first objects and the plurality of animated second objects on the user interface based on the determined color combination.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the determined color combination is formed to comprise a dark color group and a bright color group based on the identified color.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to:

identify a type of an object selected through the user interface; and

display the drawing output comprising the plurality of first objects and the plurality of animated second objects on the user interface based on the type of the selected object.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to:

when the type of the selected object is a first type, move the plurality of animated second objects of the first type based on at least part of an upward direction of the user interface from the drawing path and a direction in which the drawing input is entered; and

when the type of the selected object is a second type, move the plurality of animated second objects of the second type based on at least part of a downward direction of the user interface from the drawing path and the direction in which the drawing input is entered.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to change the plurality of first objects or the plurality of animated second objects based on a predetermined property according to a change in time for which the drawing input is received and to display the plurality of first objects or the plurality of animated second objects on the user interface.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the predetermined property comprises at least one of a size, rotation, a transparency, a color, and a velocity of an object.

10. An operating method of an electronic device, the method comprising:

displaying a user interface on a touchscreen display;

receiving a drawing input having a drawing path by a stylus pen or a body part of a user through the user interface; and

displaying a drawing output corresponding to the drawing input on the user interface,

wherein the drawing output comprises:

a first layer comprising a plurality of first objects that are generated to have a selected shape and are displayed along the drawing path, and

a second layer comprising a plurality of animated second objects that are generated to have the selected shape and are displayed as moving away from the drawing path in at least one selected direction at positions that are a same as or adjacent to positions of the plurality of first objects on the drawing path.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein at least one of the plurality of animated second objects decreases in size while moving in the at least one selected direction.

12. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the displaying of the drawing output on the user interface comprises:

identifying a color selected through the user interface;

determining a color combination based on the identified color; and

displaying the drawing output comprising the plurality of first objects and the plurality of animated second objects on the user interface based on the determined color combination.

13. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the displaying of the drawing output on the user interface comprises:

identifying a type of an object selected through the user interface; and

displaying the drawing output comprising the plurality of first objects and the plurality of animated second objects on the user interface based on the type of the selected object.

14. The method as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising changing the plurality of first objects or the plurality of animated second objects based on a predetermined property according to a change in time for which the drawing input is received and displaying the plurality of first objects or the plurality of animated second objects on the user interface.

15. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the at least one selected direction comprises an upward direction or a downward direction of the user interface.

16. The method as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the determined color combination is formed to comprise a dark color group and a bright color group based on the identified color.

17. The method as claimed in claim 13 , further comprising:

when the type of the selected object is a first type, moving the plurality of animated second objects of the first type based on at least part of an upward direction of the user interface from the drawing path and a direction in which the drawing input is entered; and

when the type of the selected object is a second type, moving the plurality of animated second objects of the second type based on at least part of a downward direction of the user interface from the drawing path and the direction in which the drawing input is entered.

18. The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the predetermined property comprises at least one of a size, rotation, a transparency, a color, and a velocity of an object.
