1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a display including a touchscreen configured to receive a contact touch and to display a content, wherein the display comprises a first region and a second region, wherein the first region is included within a perimeter, and wherein the second region is located outside of the perimeter of the first region such that the second region encompasses the first region, and wherein the second region is located near an edge of the content;
a sensor configured to sense an object in near-proximity to the display; and
a controller configured to;
cause the display to display a first graphic element in response to sensing that the object is located in near-proximity to a location on the first region of the display, wherein a displayed location of the first graphic element corresponds to the location on the first region of the display at which the object is sensed,and wherein a change in location at which the object is sensed causes a corresponding change in the displayed location of the first graphic element;
cause the display to display a second graphic element in response to sensing the object in near-proximity to the second region of the display, wherein a displayed location of the second graphic element is within the second region of the display, and wherein the second graphic element is different than the first graphic element and indicates a direction for scrolling the content; and
cause repeated scrolling of the content in response to repeated sensing that the object is in near-proximity to the second region of the display.

22. A method for scrolling at a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
-
displaying, on a display including a touchscreen, content, wherein the display comprises a first region and a second region, wherein the first region is included within a perimeter, and wherein the second region is located outside of the perimeter of the first region such that the second region encompasses the first region, and wherein the second region is located near an edge of the content; displaying, on the display, a first graphic element in response to sensing that the object is located in near-proximity to a location on the first region of the display, wherein a displayed location of the first graphic element corresponds to the location on the first region of the display at which the object is sensed, and wherein a change in location at which the object is sensed causes a corresponding change in the displayed location of the first graphic element; and displaying, on the display, a second graphic element in response to sensing the object in near-proximity to the second region of the display, wherein a displayed location of the second graphic element is within the second region of the display, and wherein the second graphic element is different than the first graphic element and indicates a direction for scrolling the content; and repeatedly scrolling the content in response to repeated sensing that the object is in near-proximity to the second region of the display. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)

41. A mobile terminal, comprising:
-
a display including a touchscreen configured to receive a contact touch and to display a content, wherein the display comprises a first region, a second region, and a third region, wherein the second region is located near a first edge of the content, wherein the third region is located near a second edge of the content, and wherein the first edge and the second edge are located at opposing sides of the content; a sensor configured to sense an object in near-proximity to the display; and a controller configured to; cause the display to display a first graphic element in response to sensing that the object is located in near-proximity to a location on the first region of the display, wherein a displayed location of the first graphic element corresponds to the location on the first region of the display at which the object is sensed, and wherein a change in location at which the object is sensed causes a corresponding change in the displayed location of the first graphic element; cause the display to display a second graphic element in response to sensing the object in near-proximity to the second region of the display, wherein a displayed location of the second graphic element is within the second region of the display, and wherein the second graphic element is different than the first graphic element and indicates a first direction for scrolling the content; cause the display to display a third graphic element in response to sensing the object in near-proximity to the third region of the display, wherein a displayed location of the third graphic element is within the third region of the display, wherein the third graphic element is different than the first graphic element and indicates a second direction for scrolling the content, and wherein the first direction is different from the second direction; cause scrolling of the content in the first direction in response to sensing that the object is in near-proximity to the second region of the display; and cause scrolling of the content in the second direction in response to sensing that the object is in near-proximity to the third region of the display. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46)
