In certain cases, multitasking and parallel processing may be advantageous. Also, the separation of the various system components of the above-described embodiments should not be understood as requiring such separation in all embodiments, and the described program components and systems will generally be integrated together into a single software product or packaged into multiple software products It should be understood.

It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention disclosed in the present specification and drawings are only illustrative of specific examples for the purpose of understanding and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that other modifications based on the technical idea of the present invention are possible in addition to the embodiments disclosed herein.

The present invention provides information on a screen configuration of an application which is changed according to a user's touch signal. As a result, productivity can be improved by improving the efficiency and quality of the motion production stage, reducing costs through internalization of motion production, and utilizing UX asset and SDK. In addition, the emotional motion UX is provided to the user, thereby increasing the usability of the terminal through clear interaction and providing a consistent motion. In addition, it is convenient for the user to understand the configuration of the screen by providing the user interface on the execution screen of various applications based on the touch as a user-centric and intuitively expressed screen. This is not only a possibility of commercialization or sales, but also a possibility of being industrially applicable since it is practically possible to carry out clearly.
