The mobile terminal 100 may also include at least two displays. For example, the mobile terminal 100 may include a plurality of displays 151 that are arranged on a single face at a predetermined distance or integrated displays. The plurality of displays 151 may also be arranged on different sides. When the display 151 and a touch sensor (hereinafter referred to as a touch sensor) form a laminated structure which is designated as a touch screen, the display 151 may be used an input device in addition to an output device. The touch sensor may be in the form of a touch film, a touch sheet and / or a touchpad, for example.
    [0005] The touch sensor may convert a pressure variation applied to a specific portion of the display 151 or a capacitance variation generated at a specific portion of the display 151 to an electrical input signal. The touch sensor can detect a touch pressure as well as a position and a surface of the touch. When the user applies touch input to the touch sensor, a signal corresponding to the touch input can be transmitted to a touch controller. The touch controller can then process the signal and transmit data corresponding to the processed signal to the controller 180. Accordingly, the controller 180 can detect an affected portion of the display 151. The proximity sensor 141 (of the sensor unit 140 ) can be positioned in an internal region of the mobile terminal 100, surrounded by the touch screen, and / or near the touch screen. The proximity sensor 141 can detect an object approaching a predetermined detection face or an object located near the proximity sensor 141 using an electromagnetic force or infrared rays without having a mechanical contact.

The proximity sensor 141 may comprise a transmission type photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection type photoelectric sensor, mirror reflection type photoelectric sensor, high frequency oscillating proximity sensor, capacitive proximity sensor, magnetic proximity sensor and / or infrared proximity sensor . A capacitive touch screen can be constructed so that the proximity of a pointer is detected through a variation of an electric field depending on the proximity of the pointer. The touch screen (touch sensor) can be classified as a proximity sensor 141. For ease of explanation, an action of the pointer approaching the touch screen without actually touching the touch screen can be designated as a touch of proximity and an action of bringing the pointer into contact with the touch screen can be referred to as touch contact. The touch point of proximity of the pointer on the touch screen may correspond to a point on the touch screen at which the pointer is perpendicular to the touch screen.
    [0006] The proximity sensor 141 can detect proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (for example, a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, proximity touch motion state, etc.).

The user can hear the sounds by connecting an earphone to the earphone jack. The alarm 153 may output a signal to indicate the generation of an event of the mobile terminal 100. For example, an alarm may be generated upon receipt of a call signal, receipt of a message, the input of a key signal and / or the input of a touch. The alarm 153 may also output signals in forms different from those of the video signals or audio signals, for example, a signal to indicate the generation of an event by means of a vibration. The video signals and / or audio signals may also be outputted through the display 151 or the audio output module 152. The haptic module 154 may generate various haptic effects that the user may experience. An example of haptic effects is a vibration. An intensity and / or vibration pattern generated by the haptic module 154 can also be controlled. For example, different vibrations may be combined and output or may be sequentially outputted. The haptic module 154 can generate a variety of haptic effects including a stimulus effect as a function of a vertically movable pin arrangement against the contact skin surface, a stimulus effect as a function of a jet force or an air suction force through a jet orifice or a suction port, a skin friction stimulus effect, a stimulus effect as a function of electrode contact, a stimulus effect using an electrostatic force and an effect as a function of hot and cold reproduction using an element capable of absorbing or radiating heat in addition to vibrations.

For example, the user identification module may be a module User Identification Number (UIM), Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) and / or Universal Subscriber Identification Module (USIM). An identification device (including the user identification module) can also be implemented in the form of a smart card. Therefore, the identification device may be connected to the mobile terminal 100 via a port of the interface 170. The interface 170 may also be a path through which electrical energy from a medium external is supplied to the mobile terminal 100 when the mobile terminal 100 is connected to the external medium or a path through which various control signals entered by the user through the medium are transmitted to the mobile terminal 100. The various control signals or the power input from the medium can be used as signals to confirm that the mobile terminal 100 is properly installed in the medium.

    [0007] However, embodiments are not limited to a bar-type terminal and may be applied to terminals of different types including sliding-type, folding-type, swing-type and / or swing-type terminals having at least two bodies that are movably combined with each other. The terminal body may comprise a housing (housing, housing, cover, etc.) that forms an outer member of the mobile terminal 100. In this embodiment, the housing can be divided into a front housing 101 and a housing. rear housing 102. Various electronic components may be arranged in the space formed between the front housing 101 and the rear housing 102. At least one central housing may be further disposed between the front housing 101 and the rear housing 102. The housings can be formed of plastic materials by injection molding or made of a metallic material such as stainless steel (STS) or titanium (Ti).

The camera 121 'may have a photography direction opposite to that of the camera 121 (shown in Fig. 1B) and may have a different number of pixels from that of the camera 121 (shown in Fig. 1B).
    [0009] For example, it may be desirable for the camera 121 to have a reduced number of pixels so that the camera 121 can capture an image of a user's face and transmit the image to a receiving part in case of video telephony while the camera 121 'has a large number of pixels because the camera 121' captures an image of a general object and does not immediately transmit the image in many cases. The cameras 121 and 121 'can be attached (or arranged) on the terminal body so that the cameras 121 and 121' can rotate or arise. A flash lamp 123 and a mirror 124 may also be disposed near the camera 121 '. The flash lamp 123 may illuminate an object when the camera 121 'takes a picture of the object.

    [0010] As shown in Figure 3, when a pointer (such as a finger of the user) approaches the touch screen, the proximity sensor located in or near the touch screen can detect the approaching the pointer and can output a proximity signal The proximity sensor may be constructed such that the proximity sensor outputs a proximity signal according to a distance between the pointer approaching the touch screen and the touch screen (referred to as "proximity depth"). The distance at which the proximity signal is output when the pointer approaches the touch screen may be referred to as a detection distance. The proximity depth can be determined by using a plurality of proximity sensors having different sensing distances and comparing the proximity signals delivered by the proximity sensors respectively. FIG. 2 is a conceptual view of a deformable mobile terminal according to FIG. an alternative embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, the mobile terminal 200 is shown with a display unit 251, which is a display type that is deformable by an external force. This deformation, which includes the display unit 251 and other components of the mobile terminal 200, may include any of curvature, bending, folding, twisting, rolling, and combinations thereof. The deformable display unit 251 may also be referred to as a "flexible display unit". In some implementations, the flexible display unit 251 may include a general flexible display, electronic paper (also known as e-paper), and combinations thereof. In general, the mobile terminal 200 may be configured to include features that are the same or similar to those of the mobile terminal 100 of Figs. 1A-1C. The flexible display of the mobile terminal 200 is generally formed as a non-brittle light display, which still has features of a conventional flat screen display, but is instead manufactured on a flexible substrate that can be deformed as previously indicated. The term electronic paper can be used to refer to a display technology employing the feature of a generic ink and is different from the conventional flat panel display for the purpose of using reflected light. Electronic paper is generally understood as a change of information displayed using a spinning ball or electrophoresis using a capsule. In a state in which the flexible display unit 251 is not deformed (for example, in a state with an infinite radius of curvature and designated as a first state), a display region of the display unit Flexible display 251 includes a generally flat surface. In a state in which the flexible display unit 251 is deformed with respect to the first state by an external force (e.g., a state with a finite radius of curvature and designated as a second state), the display region can become a curved surface or a curved surface. As illustrated, information displayed in the second state may be visual information outputted to the curved surface. The visual information can be realized in such a way that a light emission of each unit pixel (subpixel) arranged in a matrix configuration is controlled independently. The unit pixel designates an elementary unit to represent a color. According to an alternative embodiment, the first state of the flexible display unit 251 may be a curved state (for example, a curvature state from top to bottom or from right to left), instead of being in a flat state. In this embodiment, when an external force is applied to the flexible display unit 251, the flexible display unit 251 can move into the second state so that the flexible display unit is deformed in the flat state (or a less curved state) or in a more curved state. If desired, the flexible display unit 251 can implement a flexible touch screen using a touch sensor in combination with the display. When a touch is received at the flexible touch screen, the controller 180 may execute a certain command corresponding to the touch input. In general, the flexible touch screen is configured to detect a touch and other inputs in both the first and second states. One option is to configure the mobile terminal 200 to include a deformation sensor that detects the deformation of the flexible display unit 251. The deformation sensor may be included in the detection unit 140.
    [0011] The deformation sensor may be positioned in the flexible display unit 251 or the housing 201 to detect information relating to the deformation of the flexible display unit 251. Examples of such information relating to the deformation of the Flexible display unit 251 may be a deformation direction, a deformation degree, a deformation position, a deformation time amount, an acceleration with which the deformed flexible display unit 251 is restored and the like. Other possibilities include virtually any type of information that can be detected in response to the curvature of the flexible display unit or detected while the flexible display unit 251 passes into, or is within , the first and second states. In some embodiments, the controller 180 or other component may change information displayed on the flexible display unit 251 or generate a control signal to control a function of the mobile terminal 200, based on the deformation information. of the flexible display unit 251. Such information is generally detected by the deformation sensor. The mobile terminal 200 is shown with a housing 201 for housing the flexible display unit 251. The housing 201 can be deformable together with the flexible display unit 251, taking into account the characteristics of the display unit A battery (not shown in this figure) positioned in the mobile terminal 200 may also be deformable in cooperation with the flexible display unit 261, taking into account the characteristics of the flexible display unit 251. One technique for implementing such a battery is to use a stacking and folding method for stacking battery cells. The deformation of the flexible display unit 251 is not limited to execution by an external force. For example, the flexible display unit 251 may be deformed in the second state from the first state by user control, application control, or the like. Figure 3 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of the mobile terminal according to one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 3, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 may indicate a state of an application by means of an icon corresponding to the application. As a result, a user can recognize the status of the application before running the application and / or viewing the icon displayed on a home screen. The controller may enter a home screen display state displaying at least one icon (S10).
    [0012] At least one icon can be displayed on the home screen. Each icon may correspond to a specific application. Precisely, when an icon is selected, a specific application corresponding to it can be executed. The home screen can be displayed in different environments. For example, when the power supply is again applied and / or the display 151 is turned on in a standby state and when the execution of a specific application is completed, the home screen can be displayed. The controller 180 can detect a state of an application corresponding to a specific icon (S20). The state of the application may be related to a state of the mobile terminal 100. The state of the application may be related to a state of a device that constitutes the mobile terminal 100. The state of the application may be be linked to a functional state of an application executed in the mobile terminal 100. For example, in the case of an application for capturing images using the camera 121 of the mobile terminal 100, the controller 180 can detect a current state of the camera 121. In other words, the controller 180 can detect whether the camera 121 is in a forward capture state or a back capture state, a filter applied to photograph using the cameras 121 and the like. As another example, the controller 180 can detect a state of a web browser application installed in the mobile terminal 100. Precisely, the controller 180 can detect a state in which the execution of the web browser application has been completed and similar. The controller 180 may display the icon corresponding to the application so that the icon indicates the state of the application (S30). When the icon corresponding to the application indicates the status of the application, a user can easily recognize an application startup status by selecting the icon that will be started by viewing the icon. For example, when a photography icon is selected to control the camera 121, the user can recognize whether the camera 121 is in a forward capture mode, a back capture mode, a still image capture mode, or a movie mode. capture video by viewing the display status of the icon. Figures 4 and 5 illustrate an operation of the mobile terminal shown in Figure 3.
    [0013] As shown, the mobile terminal 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention may comprise a plurality of cameras 121. With reference to FIG. 4, a front camera 121a and a rear camera 121b may be provided respectively on the front and the front. Back of the mobile terminal 100. In general, the front camera 121a can be used by the user of the mobile terminal 100 to take a photographic self-portrait and the rear camera 121b can be used to capture external objects such as other people. Referring to Figure 5, an image may be captured using the front camera 121a at a time t1. Specifically, an image of the user of the mobile terminal 100 can be captured using the front camera 121a. A camera application may be terminated at a time t2. The camera application can be executed again at a time t3. The camera application may operate one of the front camera 121a and the rear camera 121b according to a previous setting value. For example, when the front camera 121a is used at time t1 and then the camera application 20 is completed at time t2 without changing the camera mode, the front camera 121a can be used again at time t3 . When the front camera 121a is operated at time t3, the user of the mobile terminal 100 may be hindered by an unexpected capture direction. For example, an image of the user handling the mobile terminal 100 is unexpectedly captured by the front camera 121a and thus the user may be embarrassed. On the other hand, the user may have to perform additional manipulation to operate the rear camera 121b instead of the front camera 121a. Figures 6, 7 and 8 illustrate display states of an icon corresponding to the camera of the mobile terminal shown in Figure 3. As shown, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention can indicate a current state of the mobile terminal 100 by means of the icon.
    [0014] Referring to Figure 6 (a), the mobile terminal 100 may be in a state in which the front camera 121a is in an activation waiting state. For example, when the operation of capturing an image using the front camera 121a was performed immediately before the current operation, the front camera 121a can be activated when executing the camera application. The controller 180 may display a first icon Ila when the front camera 121a is in the activation waiting state. The first icon 11a may be an icon representing that the lens of the camera is facing forward. Therefore, the user can intuitively recognize that the front camera 121a will be operated when the camera application is executed in the current state. Referring to Figure 6 (b), when the rear camera 121b of the mobile terminal 100 is in the activation waiting state, the controller 180 may display a second icon Ilb. The second icon Ilb can assume a shape corresponding to the rear profile of a generic camera. Therefore, the user can intuitively recognize that the rear camera 121b will be activated when the camera application is executed when he observes the second icon Ilb. Referring to Figure 7, the display 151 may display a home screen BG. The BG Home screen may display I icons corresponding to applications. The icons displayed may include an icon relating to the camera 121.
    [0015] The controller 180 may display the first icon 11a corresponding to the camera 121. The first icon 11a may indicate a generic camera lens. As a result, the user can intuitively recognize that the photograph will be taken in a direction in which the camera lens is directed towards the user when he observes the first icon 11a. Precisely, the user can recognize that the front camera 121a of the mobile terminal 100 will be activated. Referring to Figure 8, the display 151 may display the home screen BG. The controller 180 may change the icon relating to the camera 121 so that the icon corresponds to the current camera state when it displays the icon. For example, the controller 180 may display the second icon Ilb representing the back profile of a generic camera. When displaying the second icon Ilb, the user can intuitively recognize that the photograph will be taken with the camera lens facing forward. Specifically, the user can recognize that the rear camera 121b of the mobile terminal 100 will be activated. Figures 9 to 19 illustrate a manipulation in relation to the mobile terminal camera shown in Figure 3 and the icon corresponding thereto.
    [0016] As shown, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention can indicate a current state of the camera 121 constituting the mobile terminal through the shape of the icon corresponding to the camera 121. As shown in Figure 9, the controller 180 may change the icon display state according to a resolution of the camera 121. For example, the controller 180 may clearly display the first or second icon 11a or 11b when the resolution of the camera 121 is high, as shown in Figure 9 (a). When the resolution of the camera 121 is changed, the controller 180 may change the definition of the first or second icon 11a or 11b in response to the change of resolution. For example, the controller 180 may reduce the definition of the first or second icon 11a or 11b in response to a decrease in the resolution of the camera 121, as shown in Figures 9 (b) and 9 (c). Therefore, the user can intuitively recognize the current resolution of the camera 121 by observing the definition of the first or second icon 11a or 11b. Referring to Figure 10, the controller 180 may change the display of the icon according to the operation mode of the camera 121. For example, the controller 180 may display the first icon 11a by taking a generic camera profile. in the still image capture mode, as shown in Figure 10 (a), and display the second icon I2a by taking a projector profile in the video capture mode, as shown in Figure 10 (b). Therefore, the user can intuitively recognize the current state of the camera based on the profile of the modified icon according to the photography mode, differentiated from the conventional method in which the photography mode is recognized after the execution of the camera application when selecting the corresponding icon. Referring to Figure 11, the controller 180 may perform a function depending on the size of a displayed icon.
    [0017] Referring to Figure 11 (a), the controller 180 may display the first icon 11a. When selecting the first icon 11a, the controller 180 may operate the front camera 121a. Referring to Figure 11 (b), the user can manipulate the first displayed icon 11a. For example, the user can change the size of the first displayed icon 11a using first and second fingers Fi and F2. Referring to Figure 11 (c), the first icon 11a can be changed to the second icon I2a having a different size. The controller 180 may perform various operations based on user touch points when the first icon 11a is changed to the second icon I2a. For example, the controller 180 may operate the front camera 121a when a first region A1 is touched and operate the rear camera 121b when a second region A2 is touched. Precisely, even in the case of an icon, different operations can be performed according to selected portions of the icon. Referring to Figure 12, the controller 180 may display different pieces of information when an icon size is changed. Referring to Figure 12 (a), the user can touch the first displayed icon 11a. For example, the user can change the size of the first icon 11a by using the first and second fingers Fi and F2. Referring to Figure 12 (b), when changing the icon size, the controller 180 may display information corresponding to the changed size. For example, when the first icon 11a is changed to the second icon I2a with a different size, related information RI corresponding to the size of the second icon I2a can be displayed. The related information RI may be information concerning the current state of the camera 121. For example, the related information RI may comprise at least one of information concerning a camera to be used between the front camera and the rear camera, a resolution, a type of filter applied to the camera and a shutter speed. Referring to Figure 13, the controller 180 can change a functional state of an application when the size of an icon corresponding to the application is changed.
    [0018] The user can touch the first icon displayed lia. For example, the user can perform a touch change operation of the size of the first icon 11a using the first and second fingers Fi and F2. The controller 180 can change the type of a filter to be applied to the camera 5 when the first icon 11a is changed in the second to fifth icons I2a-I5a having different sizes. Therefore, the disadvantage of changing a filter after running the camera application can be eliminated. The controller 180 may change colors from the second to the fifth icons I2a to I5a depending on the type of filter. For example, the controller 180 may indicate a color change, which may occur when a filter corresponding to an icon size is applied, through the corresponding icon. Referring to Figure 14, the controller 180 may perform different functions depending on the number and / or types of touches applied to the icon. For example, when the first icon 11a is touched once, the controller 180 may execute the camera application corresponding to the first icon 11a. When the first icon 11a is touched twice, the controller 180 can change the camera to a first setting value. When the first icon 11a is touched three times, the controller 180 can change the camera to a second setting value. The first and second adjustment values may be predetermined by the user and / or the controller 180. For example, the first and second adjustment values may be setting values including the type of a predetermined filter, the resolution, Shutter speed and the like. Since the camera setting can be changed by simply touching the icon, the manipulation of the mobile terminal 100 can be simplified. Referring to Figure 15, an execution status of an application corresponding to a displayed icon may be changed by a user touch applied to the icon. Referring to Figure 15 (a), the first icon 11a may be displayed. The first icon 11a may correspond to a state in which an image is captured using the front camera 121a. Referring to Figure 15 (b), the user can perform a touch operation on the first displayed icon 11a. The touch operation can be a scanning operation of the first icon 11a using a finger F.
    [0019] Referring to Figure 15 (c), the controller may change the first icon 11a to the second icon Ilb in response to the user's touch operation. The second icon Ibl may be an icon corresponding to a state in which an image is captured using the rear camera 121b. Specifically, when the second Ibl icon is selected, the controller 180 can begin capturing an image using the 12 lb rear camera. Figures 16 and 17, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention may display an additional icon corresponding to a changed state of a specific application.
    [0020] Referring to Figure 16 (a), the user may operate the camera by selecting the first icon 11a at a time t1. Referring to Figure 16 (b), when the user selects the first icon 11a at a time t2, the controller 180 can operate the camera before 121a. Specifically, an image of the user holding the mobile terminal 100 can be captured using the front camera 121a. Referring to Figure 16 (c), the user can change the state of the camera application so that the rear camera 121b is used at a time t3. Precisely, a front image of the user can be captured using the rear camera 121b.
    [0021] Referring to Figure 17, the user may terminate the camera application at a time t4. Precisely, the photographing operation using the rear camera 121b is complete. Referring to Figure 17 (a), at a time t5 when the camera application has been completed, the controller 180 may display the second icon Ibl in addition to the first icon 11a displayed prior to the execution of the camera application. The first icon 11a may correspond to a default setting of the camera. For example, a default setting state may correspond to the execution of the camera application using the front camera 121a. When the default setting is changed by user manipulation, the controller 180 may additionally display an icon representing a changed value. For example, the controller 180 may additionally display the second icon Ilb indicating the photograph using the 12 lb rear camera, which is different from the default setting. Therefore, the user can select the first icon 11a when he wants to use the camera before 121a based on default value and select the second icon Ilb when he wants to use the rear camera 121b. The first and second icons 11a and 11b can assume different shapes and the user can thus intuitively recognize states by means of the icons corresponding thereto. Referring to Figure 18, the controller 180 may display related icons as a group. Specifically, the controller 180 may display related icons in a group so that the user can intuitively recognize a group of different states of related functions from the icon group. Referring to Figure 18 (a), the first and second icons 11a and 11b can be displayed. The first and second icons 11a and 11b may be icons respectively corresponding to different states of the camera. Referring to Figure 18 (b), the controller 180 may display the first and second icons 11a and 11b as a group of icons. For example, the controller 180 may display a tray T including the first and second icons 11a and 11b. The user can perform a touching operation of the tray T using a finger F. For example, the user can touch and slide one side of the tray T. Referring to Figure 18 (c), the controller 180 can change icon positions on the T tray in response to the user's touch operation. For example, while the first icon 11a was positioned before the second icon Ilb before the touch operation, the second icon Ilb can be positioned after the first icon 11a after the touch operation. Referring to Figure 19, the controller 180 may perform different operations depending on the conclusion types of a specific application. In other words, the controller can store or not a modified adjustment value according to a type of application conclusion. For example, buttons B may be provided on mobile terminal 100. Buttons B may comprise a home button B1 and a return button B2. When the user selects the home button Bi, the controller 180 can terminate the currently running application and display the home screen. The controller 180 can store a current setting value of the camera when selecting the home button Bi. If the camera is used successively, the controller 180 can operate the camera based on the stored value. For example, the controller 180 may change a photography direction of the camera, a filter included in the camera, a resolution thereof, etc., based on the setting value when the home button B1 is operated. and operate the camera. When the user selects the return button B2, the controller 180 can terminate the currently running application. The controller 180 may cancel the current camera setting value when selecting the return button B2. Precisely, the controller 180 may terminate the operation of the camera without storing the current camera setting value. Therefore, when the camera is used later, the camera can operate based on the initial default setting value. Figures 20 to 23 illustrate an operation corresponding to another application of the mobile terminal shown in Figure 3. As shown, the mobile terminal 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention can indicate states of an application by means of an icon in different ways. Referring to Figure 20 (a), the first icon 11a may correspond to a web browser application. Specifically, when selecting the first icon 11a, the web browsing application can be displayed on the display 151. The controller 180 can display a blank BP page which is not linked to a specific web page when of the selection of the first icon lia. When the blank page 25 BP of the web browser application is displayed, the user can enter a web address in the blank BP page for web browsing. Referring to Figure 20 (b), the second icon Ilb may be provided. The second Ilb icon may correspond to the web browser application. Specifically, the web browser application may be displayed when selecting the second icon Ilb. The controller 180 may display a specific HP page when selecting the second icon Ilb. Precisely, the empty BP page is not displayed. The HP specific page may be a page that has been previously viewed by the user.
    [0022] For example, the HP specific page may be a web page that has been accessed using the web browser application. The second icon Ilb can be displayed differently from the first icon 11a. Specifically, at least one of the color, shape and size of the second icon Ilb may differ from that of the first icon 11a although the user may intuitively recognize that the second icon Ilb is related to the application of web browsing. With reference to Figure 21, icons may be displayed in different forms.
    [0023] With reference to Figure 21 (a), an icon may be displayed differently depending on the states of an application corresponding to the icon. For example, the first icon 11a may correspond to a first web page, the second icon Ilb may correspond to a second web page and a third icon Ilc may correspond to a third web page. While the general shapes of the first, second, and third icons 11a, 11b, and 11c are similar, at least one of their colors, shapes, and sizes may be different. Therefore, the user can intuitively recognize that the web browser application is executed when selecting the icons and that the first, second and third icons 11a, 11b and 11c respectively correspond to different web pages.
    [0024] With reference to Figure 21 (b), the icons can be displayed as a group of icons. Specifically, a plurality of icons corresponding to the same attribute and / or application can be displayed as a group. For example, the first, second and third icons 11a, 11b and 11c may be icons corresponding to the web browser application. The first, second and third icons 11a, 11b and 11c can respectively correspond to different web pages. When new icons are generated based on a user's operation and / or a control operation of the controller 180, the controller 180 may display the generated icons as a group. The controller 180 may display the icons in a tray-like region so that the user can intuitively recognize that the icons are grouped. Referring to Figure 22 (a), the user may manipulate the first, second, and third icons 11a, 11b, and 11c grouped in the T-bin. For example, the user may perform a touch-scan operation starting at On one side of the tray T. Referring to Figure 22 (b), the controller 180 may change icon positions in response to the user's touch operation. For example, the controller 180 may move the third icon Il c, which was positioned behind the first icon 11a before the touch operation, so that the third icon Ilc is positioned in front. This can provide a more intuitive environment for use because a plurality of icons are positioned in a tray-like region. Precisely, because icons are positioned in a region assuming the shape of a T-tray that can be rotated, the user can easily manipulate the icons. Referring to Figure 22 (c), the controller 180 may display information corresponding to the icon positioned in front of other icons. For example, when the third icon Ilc is positioned in front of other icons in the tray T, a PVP information window may be displayed. The PVP information window may display the content of a web page corresponding to the third icon Ilc in the form of a preview image. Referring to Figure 23 (a), the user may touch the first icon 11a with a finger F. The controller 180 may perform different operations depending on the properties of the touch operation. For example, the controller 180 can execute the application linked to the corresponding icon when entering a single brief touch. The controller 180 may display a menu for programming a function of the icon when entering an extended touch. Referring to Figure 23 (b), the controller 180 may display a menu for programming a function corresponding to a specific touch operation applied to the first icon 11a. For example, the controller 180 may perform a function of initialization of a stored web page, program a secret mode so that the corresponding web page can be consulted only when a password or the like is entered or generate a new corresponding tray to new groups of icons. Figure 24 illustrates an operation corresponding to another application of the mobile terminal shown in Figure 3.
    [0025] As shown, the controller 180 of the mobile terminal 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention can generate icons corresponding to control values of various external devices. Referring to Fig. 24 (a), a first icon 11a through which a handling application for an external device 200 may be executed may be provided. For example, the user can execute a remote controller application to operate the external device 200 by selecting the first icon 11a. With reference to Fig. 24 (b), an user-preferred setting value ST for the specific external device 200 or ultimately used may be present. For example, when the external device 200 is an air conditioner, a preferred temperature and speed may be present. The controller 180 can store the specific setting value ST. The controller 180 may display a second icon Ilb indicating that the specific setting value ST has been stored. The second icon Ilb may have a shape similar to the first icon 11a so that the user can intuitively recognize that the second icon Ilb and the first icon 11a relate to the same function. However, at least one of the color, size and additional indication of the second icon Ilb may be different from that of the first icon 11a so that the user can intuitively recognize that the external device 200 is used with the specific setting value ST when selecting the second icon Ilb. The mobile terminal control method described above can be written as computer programs and can be implemented in digital microprocessors that execute the programs using a computer readable recording medium. The control method of the mobile terminal can be executed by software. The software may include segments of code that perform necessary tasks. Programs or code segments may also be stored on a processor readable medium or may be transmitted based on a computer data signal combined with a carrier via a transmission medium or communication network. The computer readable recording medium may be any data storage device that can store data that can then be read by a computer system. Examples of the computer readable recording medium may include: ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, DVD ± ROM, DVD-RAM, magnetic tapes, floppy disks, optical data storage devices. The computer readable recording medium may also be distributed on computer systems coupled to the network such that the computer readable code is stored and executed in a distributed manner. A mobile terminal may include a first touch screen configured to display a first object, a second touch screen configured to display a second object and a controller configured to receive a first touch input applied to the first object and to connect the first object to a corresponding function. to the second object upon receipt of a second touch input applied to the second object while the first touch input is maintained.
