The mobile device displays moving images at a first region of a screen and, if an event to perform a function in a second region of the screen is received, determines a second region for displaying a specific image associated with the event. The mobile device determines whether the second region is overlapped with the first region. If the second region is overlapped with the first region, the mobile device determines a third region not overlapped with the second region. Thereafter, the mobile device displays the specific image at the second region and displays the moving images at the third region. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A mobile device comprising: a touch screen; and at least one processor configured to: provide a first window on the touch screen, provide a second window displaying a moving image over a portion of the first window, detect a user input while the second window is provided over the portion of the first window, and if it is determined that the second window overlaps with a keyboard when the keyboard is displayed on the touch screen in response to the detection of the user input, control to move the second window on the touch screen and display the keyboard over the first window while displaying the moving image in the moved second window, wherein the first window includes a text input area displayed on the touch screen and an area not including the text input area displayed on the touch screen, wherein the moved second window is located over the area not including the text input area, and wherein the moved second window is free from overlapping the displayed keyboard and the text input area. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to, if it is determined that the second window is provided at a first part of the touch screen, control to move the second window from the first part of the touch screen to a second part of the touch screen, and wherein the second window moved to the second part of the touch screen is free from overlapping the displayed keyboard. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The mobile device of claim 2, wherein the moving image is displayed on a lower part of the touch screen as the first part before the moving. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The mobile device of claim 2, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: reduce the second window that displays the moving image, and provide the reduced second window at a third part of the touch screen. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The mobile device of claim 2, further comprising a memory configured to store location change information that defines mapping relations between the first part of the touch screen and the second part of the touch screen. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The mobile device of claim 5, wherein the location change information is configured to be set by a user. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the first window is displayed in a full screen and the second window is provided over the first window. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the text input area is displayed on an upper part of the touch screen. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the moved second window is free from overlapping the displayed keyboard, the text input area, and a third window provided on the touch screen. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The mobile device of claim 9, wherein the third window comprises a message or a notification window. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the first window comprises a web page, and wherein the moving image is displayed over the web page. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein a size and a location of the second window is configured to be adjusted manually. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein, when a call connection request message is received for initiating a call while the moving image is displayed, the at least one processor is further configured to pause a playback of the moving image, and wherein, when the call is disconnected, the at least one processor is further configured to release the pausing of the playback of the moving image. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to split the displayed keyboard into a left side keyboard and a right side keyboard. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The mobile device of claim 14, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to provide the second window displaying the moving image directly between the left side keyboard and the right side keyboard. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein a border of the moved second window substantially contacts a border of the keyboard if the second window is moved to display the keyboard at the first part of the touch screen. ### Claim 17 A method of displaying windows on a mobile device, the method comprising: providing a first window on a touch screen of the mobile device;
