Abstract

Disclosed is a method of controlling an electronic device and an electronic device. The method may include: acquiring motion information of an electronic device; performing an inertial force correction for removing a part by an inertial force from the acquired motion information; and displaying a screen corresponding to the inertial force-corrected motion information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method of controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:
acquiring motion information of an electronic device; performing an inertial force correction for removing an inertial force component from the acquired motion information; and displaying a screen corresponding to the inertial force-corrected motion information.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising acquiring the inertial force.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the acquiring of the inertial force comprises receiving the inertial force from another electronic device which is physically separated from the electronic device and senses the inertial force.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing the inertial force correction comprises generating a corrected vector by adding an inverse vector of an inertial acceleration corresponding to the inertial force and an acceleration corresponding to the motion information, and the displaying of the screen corresponding to the inertial force-corrected motion information comprises displaying a screen corresponding to the generated corrected vector.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing of the inertial force correction comprises:
acquiring a biometric signal from at least one user's body part when the user moves the electronic device; and removing the inertial force component which corresponds to motion information acquired when the biometric signal is not acquired.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing of the inertial force correction comprises:
determining whether the motion information is included in a preset range; and removing the inertial force component which corresponds to motion information outside of the preset range.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing of the inertial force correction comprises:
acquiring orientation information of the electronic device; and removing the inertial force component which corresponds to motion information acquired while orientation information is not changed.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing of the inertial force correction comprises removing the inertial force component which corresponds to a linear component of the motion information.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the displaying of the screen corresponding to the inertial force-corrected motion information comprises displaying the screen in accordance with a rotation component of the motion information.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising acquiring a plurality of images generated by photographing an external environment of the electronic device, wherein the performing the inertial force correction comprises removing the inertial force component which corresponds to motion information acquired while adjacent images of the plurality of images are not changed.

11 . An electronic device comprising:
a display; a processor electrically connected to the display; and a motion information sensing module that is electrically connected to the processor and configured to acquire motion information of the electronic device, wherein the processor is configured to perform an inertial force correction for removing an inertial force component from the acquired motion information and to control the display to display a screen corresponding to the inertial force-corrected motion information.

12 . The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to acquire the inertial force.

13 . The electronic device of claim 12 , further comprising a communication module configured to receive the inertial force from another electronic device which is physically separated from the electronic device, wherein the another electronic device senses the inertial force.

14 . The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to generate a corrected vector by adding an inverse vector of an inertial acceleration corresponding to the inertial force and an acceleration corresponding to the motion information and to control the display to display a screen corresponding to the generated corrected vector.

15 . The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to acquire a biometric signal from at least one user's body part when the user moves the electronic device and to remove the inertial force component which corresponds to motion information acquired when the biometric signal is not acquired.

16 . The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to determine whether the motion information is included in a preset range and to remove the inertial force component which corresponds to motion information outside the preset range.

17 . The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to acquire orientation information of the electronic device and to remove the inertial force component which corresponds to motion information acquired while orientation information is not changed.

18 . The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to remove the inertial force component which corresponds to a linear component of the motion information.

19 . The electronic device of claim 18 , wherein the processor is configured to control the display to display the screen in accordance with a rotation component of the motion information.

20 . The electronic device of claim 11 , further comprising a camera configured to capture a plurality of images of an external environment of the electronic device and output the plurality of images to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to remove the inertial force component which corresponds to motion information acquired while adjacent images of the plurality of images are not changed.
