Abstract

A mobile terminal including a wireless communication unit configured to provide wireless communication; a touch screen; and a controller configured to receive a first touch input to access an icon for an application on the touch screen, display a text window on the touch screen, the text window including notification information related to the accessed icon for the application in response to the first touch input, receive a second touch input to select the notification information included in the text window, execute the application corresponding to the accessed icon on the touch screen in response to the second touch input, and display an executed application screen on the touch screen.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal comprising:

a wireless communication unit configured to provide wireless communication;

a touch screen; and

a controller configured to;

receive a first touch input to access an icon for an application on the touch screen,

display a text window on the touch screen, the text window including notification information related to the accessed icon for the application in response to the first touch input,

receive a second touch input to select the notification information included in the text window,

execute the application corresponding to the accessed icon on the touch screen in response to the second touch input, and

display an executed application screen on the touch screen.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the determined strength of the first touch input is equal to or greater than a prescribed value which was set in the mobile terminal.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to display a patch indicating the number of notification information received through the application on the icon.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the notification information included in the text window includes at least one of functional data linked to a specific function of the application or text data of the application.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the controller is further configured to control the text window to be displayed around the icon for the application on the touch screen.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the notification information included in the text window is determined and displayed based on a type or an attribute of the application.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to display at least one of image data, time data, text data or function icon for the notification information included in the text window.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to display the notification information of the application which was missed before receiving the first touch input with respect to the application.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to receive a third touch input while the touch screen is deactivated, and

wherein the controller is configured to control a specific portion or an entire of the touch screen to be activated in response to the received third touch input.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the application is a call application, a message application or a calendar application.

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

receiving a first touch input to access an icon for an application on a touch screen;

displaying a text window on the touch screen, the text window including notification information related to the accessed icon for the application in response to the first touch input;

receiving a second touch input to select the notification information included in the text window;

executing the application corresponding to the accessed icon on the touch screen in response to the second touch input; and

displaying an executed application screen on the touch screen.
