Abstract
An apparatus for displaying a shortcut icon window of a mobile device includes: a display unit that displays a first layer including a plurality of first shortcut icons for executing different applications and a second layer including a shortcut icon window having one or more second shortcut icons, the second layer being located on the first layer; and a controller that, when at least one of the first shortcut icons is selected, controls to display the shortcut icon window on an execution screen of an application corresponding to the selected at least one first shortcut icon.
Claims16
An apparatus for displaying an object container, the apparatus comprising:
- a touch screen;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control the touch screen to display a first layer and a second layer including an object container having at least one object, wherein the second layer is located on the first layer:
- when a first user gesture on the object container is input:
- determine a side at which the object container is to be moved on the touch screen based on at least one position at which a final touch of the first user gesture ends,
- change a shape of the object container for displaying on the determined side of the touch screen, and
- display the changed object container on the determined side of the touch screen;
- and
- when a second user gesture on the object container is input, split the object container into a plurality of sub object containers in response to the second user gesture,
- wherein the second user gesture includes selecting a plurality of touch locations within the object container and moving the selected plurality of touch locations apart from each other, and
- wherein a number of the sub object containers is equal to a number of the selected plurality of touch locations.
A method of displaying an object container, the method comprising:
- displaying a first layer and a second layer including an object container having at least one object on a touch screen, the second layer being located on the first layer;
- when a first user gesture on the object container is input:
- determining a side at which the object container is to be moved on the touch screen based on at least one a position at which a final touch of the first user gesture ends,
- changing shape of the object container for displaying on the determined side of the touch screen, and
- displaying the changed object container on the determined side of the touch screen;
- and
- when a second user gesture on the object container is input, splitting the object container into a plurality of sub object containers in response to the second user gesture input,
- wherein the second user gesture includes selecting a plurality of touch locations within the object container and moving the selected plurality of touch locations apart from each other, and
- wherein a number of the sub object containers is equal to a number of the selected plurality of touch locations.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having a program recorded thereon, which when executed, performs a method of displaying a object container, the method comprising the steps of:
- displaying a first layer and a second layer including a object container having at least one object on a touch screen, the second layer being located on the first layer;
- when a first user gesture on the object container is input:
- determining a side at which the object container is to be moved on the touch screen based on at least one a position at which a final touch of the first user gesture ends,
- changing shape of the object container for displaying on the determined side of the touch screen, and
- displaying the changed object container on the determined side of the touch screen;
- and
- when a second user gesture on the object container is input, splitting the object container into a plurality of sub object containers in response to the second user gesture input,
- wherein the second user gesture includes selecting a plurality of touch locations within the object container and moving the selected plurality of touch locations apart from each other, and
- wherein a number of the sub object containers is equal to a number of the selected plurality of touch locations.
