1. A method for displaying graphical user interfaces (GUIs), comprising:
- displaying one of a plurality of GUIs on a touch screen, the GUIs being arranged in a sequential order which defines a GUI preceding and/or a GUI following the currently displayed GUI;
detecting pressing, lifting, sliding or sliding in air of a second external object by the touch screen while pressing of a first external object has been detected by the touch screen; and
displaying the GUI following the currently displayed GUI.

Abstract
The invention provides an electronic device for displaying GUIs (graphical user interfaces) including a touch screen and a processor. The touch screen displays one or more of a plurality of GUIs and detects a first and a second touch signal. When the processor determines the first touch signal existing at the overlap of the GUIs and the second touch signal, switches the top GUI to another GUI based on the relative positions between the first and the second touch signals or the direction in which the second touch signal is moving.
