Mobile communication terminal and information display method thereof

A mobile communication terminal comprising:

• a touch screen configured to display a plurality of items on a display area, display a first item of the plurality of items in a middle position, horizontally and display other items of the plurality of items in left or right of the middle position;
• a portion of the touch screen;
• a controller operatively coupled to the touch screen, configured to control the touch screen, wherein the controller is configured to:
• in response to a swipe input on the portion of the touch screen, wherein the swipe input indicates a left or right motion, to display a scrolling animation of the plurality of items, wherein the scrolling animation comprises a first transition, at a first speed, from the first item of the plurality of items displayed in the middle of the list horizontally to the first item displayed either in the left or right of the middle of the list, corresponding to the left or right motion of the swipe input, so as to:
• display a second item of the plurality of items in the middle position in place of the first item;
• and
• display the other items of the plurality of items, not including the second item, on the left or right, relative to the second item;
• and
• in response to a second input on the portion of the touch screen, to:
• slow down the scrolling animation, wherein the slowing down the scrolling animation comprises a second transition, at a second speed slower than the first speed, to a third item of the plurality of items being displayed in the middle of the list horizontally;
• and
• stop the scrolling animation such that an item of the plurality of items different to each of the first and second items is displayed in the middle of the list.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon that when executed by control circuitry cause the control circuitry to:

• display a list of a plurality of items on a display area of a touch screen of the mobile communication terminal, wherein a first item of the plurality of items is displayed in a middle of the list horizontally;
• and other items of the plurality of items are displayed in a left or right of the middle of the list;
• receive a swipe input on a portion of a touch screen of the mobile communication terminal, wherein the swipe input indicates a left or right motion;
• display a scrolling animation of the list of the plurality of items displayed on the touch screen upon receiving the swipe input, wherein the scrolling animation comprises a first transition, at a first speed, from the first item of the plurality of items displayed in the middle of the list horizontally to the first item displayed either in the left or right of the middle of the list, corresponding to the left or right motion of the swipe input, and a second item is displayed in the middle of the list horizontally in place of the first item;
• receive a second input via the portion of a touch screen of the mobile communication terminal, different from the swipe input, while the list of the plurality of items is still displaying a scrolling animation;
• slow down the scrolling animation upon receiving the second input, wherein the slowing down the scrolling animation comprises a second transition, at a second speed slower than the first speed, to a third item of the plurality of items being displayed in the middle of the list horizontally;
• and
• stopping the scrolling animation such that an item of the plurality of items different to each of the first and second items is displayed in the middle of the list.
