Abstract
Disclosed is a user interface, and particularly, to a method for providing a user interface based on multiple displays and a mobile terminal using the same. The method for providing a user interface of a mobile terminal comprises controlling transparency of a first display unit, controlling the first display unit to display a first screen, controlling a second display unit to display a second screen, and controlling the second display unit to display one or more parts of the first screen.
Claims27
A method for providing a user interface of a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- displaying a first screen via a first display unit of the mobile terminal, wherein the first screen is a first layer screen of an image;
- displaying a second screen via a second display unit of the mobile terminal, wherein the second screen is a second layer screen of the image;
- controlling a degree of transparency of the first display unit to permit viewing of at least a portion of the second screen through the first display unit, wherein the degree of the transparency is controlled such that the transparency is changed throughout the first display unit;
- combining the first layer screen and the second layer screen to display the image on the first display unit or the second display unit;
- selecting a first graphic object on the first screen in response to a first type touch input received via the first display unit;
- and
- selecting a second graphic object on the second screen in response to a second type touch input received via the first display unit,
- wherein the first type touch input and the second type touch input are determined with reference to a threshold duration or threshold pressure.

A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a first display unit configured to display a first screen, wherein the first screen is a first layer screen of an image;
- a second display unit configured to display a second screen, wherein the second screen is a second layer screen of the image;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control a degree of transparency of the first display unit to allow viewing of at least a portion of the second screen through the first display unit, wherein the degree of the transparency is controlled such that the transparency is changed throughout the first display unit;
- combine the first layer screen and the second layer screen to display the image on the first display unit or the second display unit;
- select a first graphic object on the first screen in response to a first type touch input received via the first display unit;
- and
- select a second graphic object on the second screen in response to a second type touch input received via the first display unit,
- wherein the first type touch input and the second type touch input are determined with reference to a threshold duration or threshold pressure.
7 more elements
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a first display unit configured to display a first screen including a first graphic object, wherein the first screen is a first layer screen of an image;
- a second display unit substantially overlapping the first display unit and configured to display a second screen including a second graphic object, wherein the second screen is a second layer screen of the image;
- an input unit configured to receive a touch input and comprising at least one touch screen included in at least the first or second display unit;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control transparency of the first display unit such that the transparency is changed throughout the first display unit and both the first screen and the second screen are viewable through the first display unit;
- and
- combine the first layer screen and the second layer screen to display the image on the first display unit or the second display unit,
- wherein:
- the first graphic object of the first screen is selected when the touch input is a first type touch input;
- the second graphic object of the second screen is selected when the touch input is a second type touch input;
- and
- the first type touch input and the second type touch input are determined with reference to a threshold duration or threshold pressure.
