A system for managing a graphical user interface (GUI) pointer on a touch sensitive screen of a mobile communication terminal is provided. The system comprises a logic unit for displaying a pointer on a first display point on the screen in response to a user touching the screen at a first touch point on the screen, wherein the first display point is a first distance away from the first touch point.

Controlling pointer movements on a touch sensitive screen of a mobile terminal

A method of displaying an object and a terminal capable of implementing the same. The method includes displaying an object movable on a touchscreen of a terminal at a first position on the touchscreen; and if a first touch action is carried out on the object, fixing the object to the first position.

Method of displaying object and terminal capable of implementing the same

A mobile terminal and method for moving a cursor and executing a menu function in respons to operations of a navigation key by the user are disclosed. The mobile terminal includes an optical sensor navigation key installed in the mobile terminal, wherein the navigation key senses a direction of movement and speed of movement of an object that contacts the navigation key and outputs signals based on the sensed speed and direction, and a controller configured to control an operation of the mobile terminal in response to the signals from the optical sensor navigation key. The optical sensor navigation key, which is a new type of user interface, is provided so that the user can operate the mobile terminal simply, conveniently and precisely.

Mobile terminal and method for moving a cursor and executing a menu function using a navigation key

A method of displaying an object and terminal capable of implementing the same are disclosed, by which various objects attributed to various functions provided within the terminal can be displayed to maximize facilitation and convenience of a user of the terminal. The present invention includes an object displaying step of displaying the object movable on the touchscreen on a first position on the touchscreen and an object position fixing step of if a first touch action is carried out on the object, fixing a position of the object to the first position.

A terminal and method for selecting an item displayed on a touch screen are disclosed. The method for selecting an item displayed on the screen includes simultaneously touching the screen at two or more locations to define a selection area and identifying the items within the selection area. The section area may be a rectangle, a horizontal or vertical band of the display, a circle, or sequentially arranged items of a list. Alternatively, a single touch may define a point in the display area and the bounds of the display area are defined by the time the touch is maintained. Recently, with the increasing development of multiple functions on a single terminal, the method can be conveniently applied to the latest terminal where associated items are simultaneously displayed on a single display screen of the terminal.

Terminal and method for selecting displayed items

A method for managing a graphical user interface (GUI) control component on a display of a mobile communication terminal is provided. The method comprises displaying a GUI control component on a first location of the display; selecting the GUI control component, in response to a first user interaction with the mobile terminal; and moving the GUI control component from the first location to a second location on the display, in response to a second user interaction with the mobile terminal, wherein the GUI control component allows a user to control movement of a cursor in an input screen of the mobile communication terminal.

Functional icon display system and method

A terminal including a touch-screen display configured to be touched by a user, and a controller configured to determine a number of simultaneous touches on the touch-screen and to perform a function based on the determined number of simultaneous touches.
