Abstract
A method and apparatus for displaying information on at least two touch screens are provided. The method includes sensing a first touch-drag on a first touch screen; sensing a first touch on a second touch screen; and displaying, on at least one of the first and second touch screens, information corresponding to the first touch-drag on the first touch screen and the touch on the second touch screen, if the touch-drag on the first touch screen and the first touch on the second touch screen are simultaneously sensed.
Claims6
A method for displaying information on at least two touch screens, the method comprising:
- receiving a first touch-drag input in a first direction on a first touch screen while receiving a second touch-drag input in a second direction on a second touch screen;
- displaying first objects indicating a first plurality of applications on the first touch screen in response to the first touch-drag input, and displaying second objects indicating a second plurality of applications on the second touch screen in response to the second touch-drag input;
- receiving a first input for selecting one object among the first objects displayed on the first screen or a second input for selecting one object among the second objects displayed on the second screen;
- and
- executing an application being indicated by the selected object on the first touch screen or the second touch screen,
- wherein if an application is selected among the first plurality of applications on the first touch screen, an image corresponding to the selected application is displayed on the first touch screen, and if an application is selected among the second plurality of applications on the second screen, an image corresponding to the selected application is displayed on the second touch screen.
An apparatus for displaying information on at least two touch screens, the apparatus comprising:
- a first touch screen configured to receive a first touch-drag input in a first direction on the first touch screen;
- a second touch screen configured to receive a second touch-drag input in a second direction on the second touch screen while the first touch screen receives the first touch-drag input;
- and
- a processor configured to control the first touch screen to display first objects indicating a first plurality of applications in response to the first touch-drag input, and to control the second touch screen to display second objects indicating a second plurality of applications in response to the second touch-drag input,
- wherein the first touch screen is further configured to receive an input for selecting one object among the first objects displayed on the first screen, or
- the second touch screen is further configured to receive an input for selecting one object among the second objects displayed on the second screen,
- wherein the processor is further configured to execute applications being indicated by the selected objects, and
- wherein if an application is selected among the first plurality of applications on the first touch screen, an image corresponding to the selected application is displayed on the first touch screen, and if an application is selected among the second plurality of applications on the second screen, an image corresponding to the selected application is displayed on the second touch screen.
