## Abstract

A method performed by a digital device including a touch interface display apparatus to simultaneously process files displayed thereon, including providing a file list in a first direction, at least a part of information of each file are displayed in a second direction, tracing a first user input on a first file in the second direction, displaying a command selection GUI on a path of the movement, detecting a stop position of the movement and determining a command corresponding to one of the command icons where the movement stopped as an execution command, and tracing a second user input including a movement of a user touch from the one of command icons in the first direction, detecting a stop position of the movement in a second file of the plurality of files, and executing the execution command for the first file, second file, and files displayed therebetween.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method performed by a digital device comprising a touch interface display apparatus to simultaneously process files displayed thereon, the method comprising:
providing a file list of where a plurality of files are displayed in a first direction, at least a part of information of on each of the plurality of files are displayed on the file list in a second direction crossing the first direction;
tracing a first user input on a first file of the plurality of files, the first user input comprising a is movement of a user touch on the first file in the second direction;
displaying a command selection graphic user interface on a path of the movement of the first user input when a distance of the movement of the first user input is greater than a predetermined distance during tracing of the first user input, the command selection graphic user interface including provides a plurality of command icons each of which corresponds to one of a plurality of commands;
detecting a stop position stop of the movement of the first user input in on a command icon of the command selection graphic user interface, and determining a command corresponding to one of the command icons where the movement of the first user input stopped as an execution command; and
tracing a second user input comprising which is a movement of a user touch from on the one of command icons in the first direction;
detecting a stop position of the movement of the second user input in on a second file of the plurality of files, and executing the execution command for the first file, second file, and files displayed between the first file and the second file.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the command selection graphic user interface comprises at least one of deleting files, copying files, and sending files.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the second user input comprises a vector element in the first direction.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the first input and the second input are performed continuously.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the files comprise at least one from a mailing account, a messenger service account, and a social network service (SNS) account.
