communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one other terminal; a touch screen display; and a controller configured to select an object displayed on the touch screen display based on a first touch gesture input with respect to the object, perform a second touch gesture a predetermined time after the first touch gesture, in which the second touch gesture has a dragging direction, and perform a first preset function based on the second touch gesture having a first dragging direction and perform a second preset function based on the second touch gesture having a second direction different than the first direction. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A mobile terminal, comprising: a wireless communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one other terminal; a touch screen display; and a controller configured to: select an object displayed on the touch screen display based on a first touch gesture input with respect to the object, perform a second touch gesture a predetermined time after the first touch gesture, said second touch gesture having a dragging direction, and perform a first preset function based on the second touch gesture having a first dragging direction and perform a second preset function based on the second touch gesture having a second direction different than the first direction. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the touch screen display is further configured to display a plurality of home screens that can slidably be displayed on the touch screen display based on a touch and drag operation. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The mobile terminal of claim 2, wherein the first touch gesture corresponds to a touch, drag and hold operation of a first home screen currently displayed on the touch screen display, and the second touch gesture corresponds to a touch and drag operation on a second home screen slidably appearing on the touch screen display. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein the first preset function corresponds to adding a new home screen between the first and second home screens. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein the second preset function corresponds to deleting the second home screen. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein the first preset function corresponds to switching the first and second home screens. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the touch screen display is further configured to display a message screen including incoming received messages, and wherein the first touch gesture corresponds to a touch and hold operation of a corresponding message on the message screen, and the second touch gesture corresponds to a touch and drag operation on the corresponding message. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The mobile terminal of claim 7, wherein the first preset function corresponds to a quick page function. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The mobile tell final of claim 7, wherein the second preset function corresponds to creating a new message. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the touch screen display is further configured to display an address book screen including contacts, and wherein the first touch gesture corresponds to a touch and hold operation of a corresponding contact on the address book screen, and the second touch gesture corresponds to a touch and drag operation on the corresponding contact. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The mobile terminal of claim 10, wherein the first preset function corresponds to a quick page function. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The mobile terminal of claim 10, wherein the second preset function corresponds to creating a new contact. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the touch screen display is further configured to display a webpage, and wherein the first touch gesture corresponds to a touch and hold operation of a corresponding object on the webpage, and the second touch gesture corresponds to a touch and drag operation on the corresponding object. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The mobile terminal of claim 13, wherein the first preset function corresponds to a quick page function. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The mobile terminal of claim 13, wherein the second preset function corresponds to deleting the object on the webpage. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the touch screen display is further configured to display a gallery of at least one of a still image and a moving image. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The mobile terminal of claim 16, wherein the first touch gesture corresponds to a touch and hold operation of a corresponding still image or moving image, and the second touch gesture corresponds to a touch and drag operation on the corresponding still image or moving image, and wherein the first preset function corresponds to a quick page function. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The mobile terminal of claim 16, wherein the first touch gesture corresponds to a touch, drag and hold operation of a corresponding still image or moving image to slidably display displayed the still image or moving image in the gallery, and the second touch gesture corresponds to a touch and drag operation on the corresponding still image or moving image, and wherein the second preset function corresponds to entering the mobile terminal into a photographing mode. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the touch screen display is further configured to display a memo. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The mobile terminal of claim 19, wherein the first touch gesture corresponds to a
