1. A method of editing data of an electronic device having a memory, the method comprising:
- retrieving, by the electronic device, an item list from the memory, the item list comprising a plurality of items;
displaying, by the electronic device, the item list on a touch screen of the electronic device;
detecting, by the electronic device, two touch inputs at two touch input points, respectively, wherein at least one of the plurality of items is interposed in an area between the two touch input points;
detecting, by the electronic device, a difference between a first distance separating the two touch input points at a first time and a second distance separating the two touch input points at a second time; and
as a result of the detected difference between the first and second distances separating the two touch input points at the first and second times, respectively;
storing in the memory at least one new item to the item list in the area between the first and second touch input points, ordeleting from the memory at least one of the plurality of items that is interposed in the area between the first and second touch input points,wherein the at least one new item is stored in the memory only as a result of the detected difference between the first and second distances corresponding to the first distance being smaller than the second distance, andwherein the at least one item is deleted from the memory only as a result of the detected difference between the first and second distances corresponding to the first distance being greater than the second distance.

5. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a memory; a touch screen; and a controller configured to; retrieve an item list from the memory, the item list comprising a plurality of items, display the item list on the touch screen, detect two touch inputs at two touch input points, respectively, detect a difference between a first distance separating the two touch input points at a first time and a second distance separating the two touch input points at a second time, wherein at least one of the plurality of items is interposed in an area between the two touch input points, and as a result of the detected difference between the first and second distances separating the two touch input points at the first and second times, respectively; store in the memory at least one new item to the item list in the area between the first and second touch input points, or delete from the memory at least one of the plurality of items that is interposed in the area between the first and second touch input points, wherein the at least one new item is stored in the memory only as a result of the detected difference between the first and second distances corresponding to the first distance being smaller than the second distance, and wherein the at least one item is deleted from the memory only as a result of the detected difference between the first and second distances corresponding to the first distance being greater than the second distance. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
