Abstract
A method for controlling a screen of a mobile terminal that simultaneously displays a plurality of execution screens is provided. The method preferably includes: displaying a layout composed of a plurality of sections when a magazine creation event is sensed; mapping applications to the plurality of sections in a one-to-one correspondence, respectively to create a magazine; and displaying the magazine, and an execution screen of an application mapped to each of the sections is arranged at the magazine.
Claims18
A method for controlling a screen of a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- sensing by a controller a selected magazine creation event;
- displaying by a display of the mobile terminal, a layout composed of a plurality of sections when the magazine creation event is sensed;
- creating a magazine associated with the sensed magazine creation event by the controller by mapping applications to the plurality of sections in a one-to-one correspondence, respectively, to create a magazine;
- and
- displaying the magazine on at least one geometric region of a plurality of geometric regions of the display screen,
- wherein an execution screen of an application mapped to each one of the plurality of sections is arranged at the magazine so that a plurality of application execution screens are simultaneously displayed.
A mobile terminal with simultaneously execution screens, comprising:
- a controller;
- an RF communication unit coupled to the controller;
- a touch screen coupled to the controller;
- and
- a memory coupled to the controller;
- wherein the controller is configured to sense a magazine creation event, control a display of a layout composed of a plurality of sections when the magazine creation event is sensed, create a magazine associated with the sensed magazine creation event by mapping applications to the plurality of sections in a one-to-one correspondence, respectively, to create a magazine;
- and control display of the magazine on at least one geometric region of a plurality of geometric regions of the display screen,
- wherein an execution screen of an application mapped to each one of the plurality of sections is arranged at the magazine and wherein a plurality of application execution screens are simultaneously displayed.
