Method and device for managing tab window indicating application group including heterogeneous applications

A device for managing a tab window, the device comprising:

• a terminal screen configured to output a user interface;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory storing one or more computer programs configured to be executed by the at least one processor, wherein the one or more computer programs include instructions to at least:
• output a display window comprising a plurality of objects for executing a plurality of applications on the user interface,
• receive a first user input that selects a first set of objects of the plurality of objects displayed on the user interface,
• in response to the receiving of the first user input, generate an application group comprising a first set of applications corresponding to the first set of objects,
• receive a second user input that selects a mode object displayed on the user interface,
• in response to the receiving of the second user input, replace the application group with a plurality of execution screens corresponding to the first set of applications on the user interface and arrange the plurality of execution screens to allow a user to switch between each application of the first set of applications,
• display a plurality of tab windows respectively indicating a plurality of application groups on a terminal window and regions indicating the displayed plurality of tab windows do not overlap, and
• store information regarding the application group being displayed on the plurality of tab windows,
• wherein the information comprises a list of the first set of applications included in the application group, a location of the plurality of execution screens, and a size of the plurality of execution screens corresponding to the first set of applications.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium configured to store one or more computer programs including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to control to:

• output a display window comprising a plurality of objects for executing a plurality of applications on a user interface outputted by a terminal window;
• receive a first user input that selects a first set of objects of the plurality of objects displayed on the user interface;
• in response to the receiving of the first user input, generate an application group comprising a first set of applications corresponding to the first set of objects;
• receive a second user input that selects a mode object displayed on a user interface;
• in response to the receiving of the second user input, replace the application group with a plurality of execution screens corresponding to the first set of applications on the user interface and arrange the plurality of execution screens to allow a user to switch between each application of the first set of applications;
• displaying a plurality of tab windows respectively indicating a plurality of application groups on a terminal window and regions indicating the displayed plurality of tab windows do not overlap;
• and
• storing information regarding the application group being displayed on the plurality of tab windows,
• wherein the information comprises a list of the first set of applications included in the application group, a location of the plurality of execution screens, and a size of the plurality of execution screens corresponding to the first set of applications.
