1. A method to operate a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- receiving a command to set the one or more sensors to display a sensor set mode;
permitting a selection of at least one list of a plurality of lists included in the sensor set mode;
permitting a selection of at least one icon to be stored in at least one selected list among icons stored in the mobile terminal;
incorporating at least one selected icon into the at least one selected list;
detecting a position of a touch input using one or more sensors of the mobile terminal, wherein the one or more sensors are located at one or more first locations; and
displaying on a screen of the mobile terminal at least one previously set icon in response to detecting the position of the touch input using the one or more sensors, wherein the at least one previously set icon is located at a second location different from the one or more first locations and is previously set to be associated with the one or more sensors, wherein displaying the at least one previously set icon in response to detecting the position of the touch input comprises loading a stored icon list that corresponds to the detected position of the touch input, and wherein the stored icon list comprises the at least one previously set icon.

15. A mobile terminal, comprising:
-
a display screen; one or more grip sensors; and a controller configured to; receive a command to set the one or more sensors to display a sensor set mode, permit a selection of at least one list of a plurality of lists included in the sensor set mode, permit a selection of at least one icon to be stored in at least one selected list among icons stored in the mobile terminal, incorporate at least one selected icon into the at least one selected list, and display at least one previously set icon on the display screen in response to detecting a pressure of at least a predetermined amount of pressure on one grip sensor of the one or more grip sensors located at one or more first locations, wherein the at least one previously set icon is located at a second location different from the one or more first locations and is previously set to be associated with the one or more sensors, wherein the controller is configured to load a stored icon list that corresponds to a grip sensor position of the one grip sensor when the pressure is detected, wherein the stored icon list comprises the at least one previously set icon. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
