Abstract

A method for temporarily manipulating an operation of an object in accordance with a touch pressure or a touch area may be provided. The method includes: operating the object at a first state; detecting at least one of a magnitude of the touch pressure and a size of the touch area when the touch is input to a touch panel; operating the object at a second state of a first operation according to at least one of the magnitude of the touch pressure and the size of the touch area; and operating the object at the first state when the touch is released.

Claims (22)

1. A method for temporarily manipulating an operation of an object in accordance with a touch pressure or a touch area, the method comprising:

displaying an image on a touch screen;

receiving a touch that is input to the touch screen;

displaying a magnifier on the image when receiving the touch;

detecting at least one of a magnitude of the touch pressure and a size of the touch area;

displaying an object in the magnifier proximate to the touch that is zoomed in;

adjusting an extent to which a portion of the object is zoomed in based on at least one of the magnitude of the touch pressure and the size of the touch area; and

setting an offset between a center of the magnifier and the touch position at a constant value when the object in the magnifier proximate to the touch is zoomed in and size of the magnifier is maintained constant;

wherein the offset between the center of the magnifier and the touch position is set as a value of a radius of the magnifier;

wherein the magnifier is displayed at a position on the touch screen with the offset between the center of the magnifier and the touch position in a predetermined fixed direction regardless of a rotation of the touch screen.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting at least one of the magnitude of the touch pressure and the size of the touch area comprises calculating at least one of the magnitude of the touch pressure and the size of the touch area according to a capacitance change amount caused by the touch.

3. A terminal comprising:

a touch screen configured to display an image;

a processor configured to:

receive a touch that is input to the touch screen;

display a magnifier on the image when receiving the touch;

detect at least one of a magnitude of the touch pressure and a size of the touch area;

display an object in the magnifier proximate to the touch that is zoomed in;

adjust an extent to which a portion of the object is zoomed in based on at least one of the magnitude of the touch pressure and the size of the touch area; and

set an offset between a center of the magnifier and the touch position at a constant value when the object in the magnifier proximate to the touch is zoomed in and size of the magnifier is maintained constant;

wherein the offset between the center of the magnifier and the touch position is set as a value of radius of the magnifier;

wherein the magnifier is displayed at a position on the touch screen with the offset between the center of the magnifier and the touch position in a predetermined fixed direction regardless of a rotation of the touch screen.
