Mobile terminal having a multifaceted graphical object and method for performing a display switching operation
First Claim
1. A method for switching display surfaces of multifaceted graphical objects, comprising:
- assigning a first surface of each of the multifaceted graphical objects to a first object;
assigning a second surface of each of the multifaceted graphical objects to a second object associated with the first object, wherein each second surface is adjacent to, and shares an edge with, a corresponding first surface;
displaying the first surface of each of the multifaceted objects on a mobile terminal;
detecting a motion of the mobile terminal; and
switching the displayed first surface to the second surface of the multifaceted graphical objects, wherein the switching motion from the displayed first surface to the second surface matches with the detected motion, the detected motion being at least one of a tilting motion, flipping motion, and a rotating motion,wherein the first surface displays a numerical graphical object of a numerical keypad and the second surface displays corresponding identification information of a speed-dial contact.

Abstract
A mobile terminal includes a display unit to display a first surface of a multifaceted graphical object, a motion detecting unit to detect a motion of the mobile terminal, and a control unit to switch the displayed first surface to a second surface of the multifaceted graphical object based on the detected motion. A method for switching a display surface of a multifaceted graphical object includes displaying a first surface of the multifaceted graphical object on a mobile terminal, detecting a motion of the mobile terminal, and switching the displayed first surface to a second surface of the multifaceted graphical object based on the detected motion.
