A method of displaying an operating state of a multi-standby terminal including a first subscriber identification module (SIM) and a second subscriber identification module (SIM), the method comprising:
- checking whether or not the first SIM and the second SIM are installed in the multi-standby terminal;
- activating (ON) or deactivating (OFF) a first light emitter according to whether the first SIM is installed, and activating (ON) or deactivating (OFF) a second light emitter according to whether the second SIM is installed;
- flickering the output of light by the first light emitter for a preset amount of time according to a preset flickering cycle when an event related with the first SIM occurs;
- and
- flickering the output of light by the second light emitter for a preset amount of time according to a preset flickering cycle when an event related with the second SIM occurs.
An apparatus for displaying an operating state of a multi-standby terminal including a first subscriber identification module (SIM) and a second subscriber identification module (SIM), the apparatus comprising:
- a first light emitter which is arranged to an exterior of the multi-standby terminal;
- a second light emitter which is separated from the first light emitter by a specific gap and is arranged to the exterior of the multi-standby terminal;
- and
- a first controller for controlling the first light emitter to activate (ON) or deactivate (OFF) according to whether the first SIM is installed and controlling the second light emitter to activate (ON) or deactivate (OFF) according to whether the second SIM is installed,
- wherein the first controller controls the first light emitter to flicker for a preset amount of time according to a preset flickering cycle when an event related with the first SIM occurs, and controls the second light emitter to flicker for a preset amount of time according to the preset flickering cycle when an event related with the second SIM occurs.
