Electronic device having 3-dimensional display and method of operating thereof

1. An electronic device having a three-dimensional display, comprising:

a sensor configured to obtain information about a motion of a gesture;

a three-dimensional display; and

a controller configured to:

control the three-dimensional display to display a pointer or an object moving in three-dimensional space according to the motion of the gesture;

determine a movement distance of the pointer or the object in proportion to a movement distance of the gesture by considering gesture sensitivity selected according to a type of application in execution; and

control the three-dimensional display to display the pointer or the object while moving the pointer or object as much as the determined movement distance,

wherein the gesture sensitivity is a movement distance of the pointer or the object in proportion to the motion of gesture,

wherein the gesture sensitivity is variable according to the type of the application in execution, and

wherein the controller selects the gesture sensitivity by taking account of difference between a maximum depth and a minimum depth implemented at the checked application.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the gesture sensitivity corresponds to each of multiple applications.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the gesture sensitivity includes sensitivity along x-axis, sensitivity along y-axis, and sensitivity along z-axis.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein only the sensitivity along the z-axis is varied according to applications.

5. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein sensitivity along the x-axis, sensitivity along the y-axis, and sensitivity about the z-axis are selected to have different values from one another.

6. An electronic device having a three-dimensional display, comprising:

a sensor configured to obtain information about a motion of a gesture;

a three-dimensional display; and

a controller configured to:

control the three-dimensional display to display a pointer or an object moving in three-dimensional space according to the motion of the gesture;

determine a movement distance of the pointer or the object in proportion to a movement distance of the gesture by considering gesture sensitivity selected according to the position of the displayed pointer or the object; and

control the three dimensional display to display the pointer or the object while moving the pointer or object as much as the determined movement distance,

wherein the gesture sensitivity is a movement distance of the pointer or the object in proportion to the motion of gesture, and

wherein the gesture sensitivity is variable according to an area to which the position of the object belongs.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the controller selects the gesture sensitivity according to an application corresponding to the position of the object.

8. An electronic device having a three-dimensional display, comprising:

a sensor configured to obtain information about a motion of a gesture;

a three-dimensional display; and

a controller configured to:

control the three-dimensional display to display a pointer or an object moving in three-dimensional space according to the motion of the gesture;

determine a movement distance of the pointer in proportion to a movement distance of the gesture by considering gesture sensitivity selected according to the distance between the first and the second object; and

control the three dimensional display to display the pointer while moving the pointer as much as the determined movement distance of the pointer,

wherein the gesture sensitivity is a movement distance of the pointer in proportion to the motion of gesture, and

wherein the gesture sensitivity is variable according to the distance between the first and the second object.

9. An electronic device having a three-dimensional display, comprising:

a sensor configured to obtain information about a motion of a gesture;

a three-dimensional display; and

a controller configured to:

control the three-dimensional display to display a pointer or an object moving in three-dimensional space according to the motion of the gesture;

determine a movement distance of the object in proportion to a movement distance of the gesture by considering gesture sensitivity selected according to attributes of the object selected from the gesture among the at least one object, and

control the three-dimensional display to display the object while moving the object as much as the determined movement distance of the object,

wherein the gesture sensitivity is a movement distance of the object in proportion to the motion of gesture,

wherein the gesture sensitivity is variable according to attributes of the object, and

wherein the attribute includes at least one among file size, the number of files, and remaining battery capacity.

10. A method for operating an electronic device having a three-dimensional display, comprising:

obtaining information about a motion of a gesture;

displaying a pointer or an object moving in the three-dimensional space according to the motion of the gesture;

selecting gesture sensitivity according to a type of application in execution;

determining, by considering gesture sensitivity selected according to the type of the application in execution, a movement distance of the pointer or the object in proportion to a movement distance of the gesture; and

displaying the pointer or object while moving the pointer or object as much as the determined movement distance,

wherein the gesture sensitivity is a movement distance of the pointer or the object in proportion to the motion of gesture,

wherein the gesture sensitivity is variable according to the type of the application in execution, and

wherein the gesture sensitivity is selected by taking account of difference between a maximum depth and a minimum depth implemented at the checked application.
