selecting at least one filtering condition; determining, via a controller of the mobile terminal, whether each of a plurality of the display items matches the selected filtering condition; discriminately displaying at least one first display item matching the selected filtering condition from at least one second display item not matching the selected filtering condition among the plurality of the display items as a result of the determining step; and in response to a touch scroll command, scrolling the at least one first display item at a first speed and scrolling the at least one second display item only displayed on the touchscreen at a second speed lower than the first speed. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising: displaying at least one portion of a plurality of display items on a touchscreen of the mobile terminal; selecting at least one filtering condition; determining, via a controller of the mobile terminal, whether each of the plurality of the display items matches the selected filtering condition; discriminately displaying at least one first display item matching the selected filtering condition from at least one second display item not matching the selected filtering condition among the plurality of the display items as a result of the determining step; and in response to a touch scroll command, scrolling the at least one first display item at a first speed and scrolling the at least one second display item only displayed on the touchscreen at a second speed lower than the first speed. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein selecting the at least one condition comprises: displaying a menu bar including a plurality of available filtering conditions; and selecting the at least one filtering condition from the menu bar. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising: displaying a scroll bar movable on a track in a first direction for scrolling the plurality of display items based on a touch and drag of the scroll bar; and displaying the menu bar based on a touch and drag of the scroll bar in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, further comprising: changing at least one of a shape and color of the scroll bar based on a number of the at least one first display item. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, wherein the track includes an indicator corresponding to a location at which the at least one first display item is arranged. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of the display items include a plurality of thumbnails corresponding to a plurality of images, respectively. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, wherein the at least one filtering condition includes at least one of time created information of the plurality of the images, place information related to the plurality of the images and character information on characters included in the plurality of the images. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein when the selecting step selects a plurality of filtering conditions, the method further comprises: applying a different visual effect to each first display item based on a number of matched conditions among the plurality of the selected filtering conditions. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one filtering condition is determined by a text input by a user. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: displaying a layer including the at least one first display item overlapping the plurality of the display items. ### Claim 11 A mobile terminal, comprising: a touchscreen configured to display at least one portion of a plurality of display items; and a controller configured to: receive a selection of at least one filtering condition; determine whether each of the plurality of the display items matches the selected filtering condition, discriminately display at least one first display item matching the selected filtering condition from at least one second display item not matching the selected filtering condition among the plurality of the display items as a result of the determination, and in response to a touch scroll command, scrolling the at least one first display item at a first speed and scrolling the at least one second display item only displayed on the touchscreen at a second speed lower than the first speed. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The mobile terminal of claim 11, wherein the controller is further configured to: display a menu bar including a plurality of available filtering conditions, and receive the selection of the at least one filtering condition from the menu bar. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The mobile terminal of claim 12, wherein the controller is further configured to: display a scroll bar movable on a track in a first direction for scrolling the plurality of display items based on a touch and drag of the scroll bar, and display the menu bar based on a touch and drag of the scroll bar in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The mobile terminal of claim 13, wherein the controller is further configured to: change at least one of a shape and color of the scroll bar based on a number of the at least one first display item. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The mobile terminal of claim 13, wherein the track includes an indicator corresponding to a location at which the at least one first display item is arranged. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The mobile terminal of claim 11, wherein the plurality of the display items include a plurality of thumbnails corresponding to a plurality of images, respectively. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The mobile terminal of claim 16, wherein the at least one filtering condition includes at least one of time created information of the plurality of the images, place information related to the plurality of the images and character information on characters included in the plurality of the images. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The mobile terminal of claim 11, wherein when the selection of the at least one condition includes a plurality of filtering conditions, the controller is further configured to: apply a different visual effect to each first display item based on a number of matched conditions among the plurality of the selected filtering conditions. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The mobile terminal of claim 11, wherein the at least one filtering condition is determined by a text input by a user. ### Claim 20 (depends on 11) The mobile terminal of claim 11, wherein the controller is further configured to: display a layer including the at least one first display item overlapping the plurality of the display items.
