a display; and
a processor configured to:
control the display to display a user interface (UI) screen comprising a plurality of graphic user interface (GUI) items comprising a first group of GUI items at a first depth and a second group of GUI items at a second depth, and a focus GUI on a first GUI item among the first group of GUI items,
identify arrangement information about the plurality of GUI items,
in response to a wheel input of a user being received while the focus GUI is located on the first GUI item among the first group of GUI items, identify an acceleration of the wheel input,
in response to the acceleration of the wheel input being less than a threshold value, identify a movement direction of the focus GUI based on a manipulation direction of the wheel input and the identified arrangement information on the first group of GUI items, and control the display to move the focus GUI from being on the first GUI item to being on a second GUI item among the first group of GUI items, and
in response to the acceleration of the wheel input being the threshold value or more, control the display to move the focus GUI from being on the first GUI item among the first group of GUI items to being on a third GUI item among the second group of GUI items at the second depth.
