Abstract

A mobile terminal and a method of controlling the same are provided. The mobile terminal comprises a display unit displaying a list of items, and a controller receiving a touch input signal for moving at least one of the items to a first region, deleting the at least one item corresponding to the touch input signal from the list, displaying the title of the deleted item in the first region, substituting the deleted item by another item to update the list, and displaying the updated list. Accordingly, an item is selected through a method of moving the item to a specific region, and thus a previously selected item can be prevented from being cancelled due to a wrong operation.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal comprising:

a display unit displaying a list of items; and

a controller receiving a touch input signal for moving at least one of the items to a first region, deleting the at least one item corresponding to the touch input signal from the list, displaying the title of the deleted item in the first region, substituting the deleted item by another item to update the list, and displaying the updated list.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the touch input signal corresponds to a drag-and-drop touch for moving the at least one item to the first region.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller displays a pop-up window displaying the deleted item on the display unit.

4. A mobile terminal comprising:

a display unit displaying a list of items; and

a controller receiving a touch input signal for moving at least one of the items to a first region, deleting an item having the same attribute as that of the at least one item corresponding to the touch input signal from the list, displaying the title of the deleted item in the first region, substituting the deleted item by another item to update the list, and displaying the updated list.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the touch input signal corresponds to a drag-and-drop touch for moving the at least one item to the first region.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the controller displays a pop-up window displaying the deleted item on the display unit.

7. A method of controlling a mobile terminal, comprising:

displaying a list of items on a display unit;

receiving a touch input signal for moving at least one of the items to a first region;

deleting the at least one item corresponding to the touch input signal from the list;

displaying the title of the deleted item in the first region; and

substituting the deleted item by another item to update the list and displaying the updated list.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the touch input signal corresponds to a drag-and-drop touch applied to the at least one item displayed on the display unit.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the first region is separated from a region in which the list is displayed.

10. The method of claim 7, further comprising displaying a pop-up window displaying the deleted item on the display unit.

11. A method of controlling a mobile terminal, comprising:

displaying a list of items on a display unit;

receiving a touch input signal for moving at least one of the items to a first region;

deleting at least one item having the same attribute as that of the at least one item corresponding to the touch input signal from the list;

displaying the title of the deleted item in the first region; and

substituting the deleted item by another item to update the list and displaying the updated list.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the touch input signal corresponds to a drag-and-drop touch applied to the at least one item displayed on the display unit.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the first region is separated from a region in which the list is displayed.

14. The method of claim 11, further comprising displaying a pop-up window displaying the deleted item on the display unit.
