A method and apparatus for controlling a motion-based user interface are provided. The apparatus includes a touch screen for displaying an image and for receiving input of a user touch on at least one spot of the touch screen, a sensor unit for sensing a motion of the apparatus, a motion calculator for calculating a degree of the motion of the apparatus, when sensing the motion of the apparatus at the sensor unit, and a controller for, when the at least one spot is touched on the touch screen, determining the number of touched spots, for receiving information about the degree of the motion of the apparatus from the motion calculator, and for determining whether to change the size of the image or the position of the image according to the number of touched spots.

Apparatus and method for controlling motion-based user interface

A method of scrolling a screen in a display apparatus includes initiating a screen-scroll according to a speed of a currently generated flick input when the flick input is generated, comparing a tilt of an axis of a corresponding apparatus with an initial location at a time of generation of the flick input to determine whether a change amount of a change is within a reference value, maintaining a current screen-scroll speed if the change amount deviates from the reference value, and stopping a screen-scroll operation when a scroll stop condition is met.

Method and apparatus for scrolling a screen in a display apparatus

A mobile terminal and a method perform screen unlock based on a motion. The mobile terminal includes a motion measure unit, a motion pattern storage, and a controller. The motion measure unit measures a first motion pattern of the mobile terminal. The motion pattern storage stores a second motion pattern set for the mobile terminal. When the first motion pattern of the mobile terminal measured by the motion measure unit coincides with the second motion pattern stored in the motion pattern storage, the controller executes a screen unlock of the mobile terminal.

An apparatus and method for estimating displacement of a user terminal are provided. The method includes estimating, by the user terminal, a moving state of the user terminal; determining a first moving direction probability index of a user, based on the estimated moving state of the user terminal; and determining a moving state of the user terminal and estimating a moving direction of the user terminal, based on the first moving direction probability index.
