First Claim
1. A mobile terminal for controlling at least two message interfaces, comprising:
- a touchscreen; and
a controller configured to;
cause the touchscreen to display a first message interface displaying messages transmitted from the mobile terminal to a first device and displaying messages received at the mobile terminal from the first device, wherein the messages of the first message interface are enumerated in a chat format in accordance with a time sequence;
cause the touchscreen to display a second message interface displaying messages transmitted from the mobile terminal to a second device and displaying messages received at the mobile terminal from the second device wherein each of the first and second message interfaces is each of individual message windows;
cause the touchscreen to display in a queue region a first item representative of content associated with a selected message displayed in the first message interface; and
cause the touchscreen to display in the queue region a second item representative of content associated with a selected message displayed in the second message interface,wherein the queue region is displayed to be adjacent to the first and second message interfaces,wherein the first and second message interfaces are each independently scrollable in first and second opposing directions,wherein the first and second items in the queue region are displayed chronologically according to when they are copied from a respective one of the first or second message interface to the queue region, regardless of which of the first or second message interface they are copied from,wherein the first item displayed in the queue region includes a text of the selected message of the first message interface, andwherein the second item displayed in the queue region includes a text of the selected message of the second message interface.
