First Claim
1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a touchscreen; and
a controller configured to;
cause the touchscreen to display a first message interface displaying simultaneously messages transmitted from the mobile terminal to a first device and displaying simultaneously messages received at the mobile terminal from the first device;
cause the touchscreen to display a second message interface displaying simultaneously messages transmitted from the mobile terminal to a second device and displaying simultaneously messages received at the mobile terminal from the second device;
cause the touchscreen to display a queue region, wherein the displayed messages of the first message interface, the displayed messages of the second message interface, and the queue region, are all displayed simultaneously during a period of time;
cause the touchscreen to display in the queue region a first item representative of content associated with a selected message displayed in the first message interface; and
cause the touchscreen to display in the queue region a second item representative of content associated with a selected message displayed in the second message interface;
wherein the queue region is displayed to be directly adjacent to the first and second message interfaces;
wherein the first and second message interfaces and the queue region are each independently scrollable in first and second opposing directions; and
wherein the first and second items in the queue region are displayed chronologically according to when they are copied from a respective one of the first or second message interface to the queue region, regardless of which of the first or second message interface they are copied from, whereinthe received and displayed messages of the first message interface and the received and displayed messages of the second message interface each include text displayed adjacent to timing information indicating when a respective message was received at the mobile terminal, whereinthe first item displayed in the queue region includes the text of a respective message of the first message interface and does not include the timing information of the respective message of the first message interface; and
whereinthe second item displayed in the queue region includes the text of a respective message of the second message interface and does not include the timing information of the respective message of the second message interface.
