## Abstract

A method of controlling a mobile apparatus to display an end effect is provided. The method includes displaying at least one object on a first layer on a touch screen, converting the at least one object in response to a first gesture that converts the at least one object, detecting that the conversion for the at least one object is ended, and displaying an end effect, which represents a message saying that the at least one object to be converted does not exist anymore or represents additional information, on the touch screen.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A portable communication device comprising:
a memory to store a plurality of objects;
a touchscreen display; and
a processor configured to control to:
display, via the touchscreen display, at least one object among the plurality of objects,
receive, via the touchscreen display, a user input to scroll the at least one object among the plurality of objects in a specified direction, and
in response to a determination that there is not another object to scroll according to the user input, display, via the touchscreen display, an indication indicating a quantity of the plurality of objects.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The portable communication device of claim 1, the processor is configured to display a list of the plurality of objects, wherein the plurality of objects comprises at least one of an image or text.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The portable communication device of claim 2, wherein the processor is configured to display the indication on at least one of a top end of the plurality of objects, adjacent to the top end of the plurality of objects, or above the top end of the plurality of objects.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The portable communication device of claim 1, wherein the user input includes a drag or a flick.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The portable communication device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to display the indication while the user input is maintained.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The portable communication device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to stop displaying the indication after the user input is released.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The portable communication device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to display the indication in a first region of the touch screen display while another portion of the plurality of objects is presented in a second region of the touchscreen display.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The portable communication device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to determine that another portion of the plurality of objects to be presented does not exist anymore, as at least part of the determining.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The portable communication device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to present the indication in a bar such that the indication is not overlapped with the plurality of objects.

### Claim 10

A method for presenting content using a portable communication device, the method comprising:
displaying, via a touchscreen display, at least one object among a plurality of objects,
receiving, via the touchscreen display, a user input to scroll the at least one object among the plurality of objects in a specified direction, and
in response to a determination that there is not another object to display according to the user input, displaying, via the touchscreen display, an indication indicating a quantity of the plurality of objects.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, further comprising:
displaying a list of the plurality of objects, wherein the plurality of objects comprises at least one of an image or text.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, further comprising:
displaying the indication on at least one of a top end of the plurality of objects, adjacent to the top end of the plurality of objects, or above the top end of the plurality of objects.

### Claim 13 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the user input includes a drag or a flick.

### Claim 14 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, further comprising:
displaying the indication while the user input is maintained.

### Claim 15 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, further comprising:
stopping displaying the indication after the user input is released.

### Claim 16 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, further comprising:
displaying the indication in a first region of the touch screen display while another portion of the plurality of objects is presented in a second region of the touch screen display.

### Claim 17 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, further comprising:
determining that another portion of the plurality of objects to be presented does not exist anymore, as at least part of the determining.

### Claim 18 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, further comprising:
displaying the indication in a bar such that the indication is not overlapped with the plurality of objects.

### Claim 19

A portable communication device comprising:
a memory to store a plurality of objects;
a touchscreen display; and
a processor configured to control to:
display, via the touchscreen display, at least one object among the plurality of objects,
receive, via the touchscreen display, a user input to scroll the at least one object among the plurality of objects in a specified direction, and
in response to a determination that an end of the plurality of objects is reached according to the user input, display, via the touchscreen display, an indication indicating a quantity of the plurality of objects.

### Claim 20

A method for presenting content using a portable communication device, the method comprising:
displaying, via a touchscreen display, at least one object among a plurality of objects,
receiving, via the touchscreen display, a user input to scroll the at least one object among the plurality of objects in a specified direction, and
in response to a determination that an end of the plurality of objects is reached according to the user input, displaying, via the touchscreen display, an indication indicating a quantity of the plurality of objects.
