According to example embodiments, the processor 140 may determine the user's location by using the sensor 130. According to example embodiments, the processor 140 may determine the user's location by using the thermal sensor 131. According to example embodiments, the processor 140 may determine the user's location on the basis of the location of the user's touch input received through the touch sensor 133. For example, if the user's touch input is applied to the right side bezel (with respect to the direction in which the user views the display 110), the processor 140 may determine that the user is located at the right, and if the user's touch input is applied to the left side bezel, the processor 140 may determine that the user is located at the left. In another example, if the user's touch input is applied to the lower side bezel, the processor 140 may determine that the user is located in front of the display device 100.
According to example embodiments, the processor 140 may store the user's location information in the memory 120. If the user's location changes, the processor 140 may update the user's location information stored in the memory 120.
According to example embodiments, the processor 140 may display a user interface 30 on the display 110. According to example embodiments, the processor 140 may display the user interface 30 at the location corresponding to a location of a user 33. For example, if the location of the user 33 is determined to be a first location U31, the processor 140 may display the user interface 30 at a first location P31 on the display 110 that corresponds to the user's first location U31. If the user 33 moves from the first location U31 to a second location U32, the processor 140 may move the user interface 30 displayed on the display 110 from the first location P31 to a second location P32 corresponding to the user's second location U32. If the user 33 moves from the second location U32 to a third location U33, the processor 140 may move the user interface 30 displayed on the display 110 from the second location P32 to a third location P33 corresponding to the user's third location U33.
According to example embodiments, the processor 140 may change the direction in which a plurality of objects 31 included in the user interface 30 are arranged, depending on the location where the user interface 30 is displayed. For example, the processor 140 may horizontally arrange the plurality of objects 31 included in the user interface 30 in the case in which the user interface 30 is displayed at the first location P31 and the second location P32, and the processor 140 may vertically arrange the plurality of objects 31 included in the user interface 30 in the case in which the user interface 30 is displayed at the third location P33.
According to example embodiments, the processor 140 may change the direction in which the plurality of objects 31 included in the user interface 30 are arranged, depending on the location where a touch input is applied to the touch sensor 133. For example, the processor 140 may horizontally arrange the plurality of objects 31 included in the user interface 30 if the user's touch input is applied to the upper side bezel or the lower side bezel, and the processor 140 may vertically arrange the plurality of objects 31 included in the user interface 30 if the user's touch input is applied to the right side bezel or the left side bezel.
According to example embodiments, if a specified first user input is received through the sensor 130, the processor 140 may move the user interface 30 displayed on the display 110. For example, if the user's touch input is received for a specified period of time or the user's touch input having a specified strength or higher is received, the processor 140 may move the user interface 30 displayed on the display 110. In another example, if a specified first gesture (e.g., the user's gesture of clenching a first or moving a hand in the first direction) is recognized, the processor 140 may move the user interface 30 displayed on the display 110.
According to example embodiments, if a specified second user input is received in the state in which the user interface 30 is moved, the processor 140 may move the user interface 30 to the original location. For example, if the same touch input as the first user input is received again, the processor 140 may move the user interface 30 displayed on the display 110 to the original location. In another example, if a specified second gesture (e.g., the user's gesture of opening the first or moving the hand in the second direction opposite to the first direction) is recognized, the processor 140 may move the user interface 30 displayed on the display 110 to the original location.
