A screen display method in a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- displaying a plurality of media objects to be piled-up at first or second positions and in which a first pile contains the plurality of the media objects available to display in a stack in the first position and in which the stack is reduced in size as respective media objects move to the second position to form a second pile, and in which some of the plurality of media objects are arranged in a non-stacked manner along a course connecting the first and second positions;
- and
- displaying the piled-up media objects that are movable from one of the first and second positions along the course toward the other of the first and second positions in response to an input event.
A mobile terminal for displaying a screen, the mobile terminal comprising:
- an input unit configured to receive an input event;
- a storage configured to store a plurality of media objects;
- and
- a processor configured to, control a display of media objects to be piled-up at first and second positions in which a first pile contains the plurality of the media objects available to display in a stack in a first position and in which the stack is reduced in size as respective media objects move to the second position to form a second pile, and to control the display of media objects to be arranged in a non-stacked manner along a course connecting the first and second positions;
- and control the display of the piled-up media objects at one of the first and second positions that are movable along the course toward the other of the first and second positions in response to an input event.
