Method of displaying an event in a mobile terminal and mobile terminal implementing the same

Abstract

A method of, and a mobile terminal configured for, efficiently displaying an event indication in the form of a pop-up box during idle mode of a mobile terminal is provided. Upon generation of an event, an event pop-up box indicates the occurrence of the event, and the event is displayed with the highest priority. For this purpose, it is determined whether an event pop-up box indicating the occurrence of the event exists. When the event pop-up box already exists, the event pop-up box is updated with information about the event and displayed with the highest priority. When the event pop-up box does not exist, the event pop-up box is generated.
