1. A method for displaying screens on a touch screen of a mobile device, comprising:
- displaying, on a first screen, an object item group within which object items are arranged to be spaced apart by a first set interval, each object item being an application icon or a folder icon; and
when an input to the object item group is detected, rearranging and displaying the object items included in the object item group on a second screen spaced apart by a second set interval,wherein when the detected input is a touch gesture, the object items are rearranged and displayed in a grid format, and when the detected input is a drag gesture different than the touch gesture, the object items are rearranged and displayed connected to one another according to a uniform tilt angle, andwherein in response to detecting further movement of the drag gesture in a first direction, the object item group expands while a uniform degree of tilt between each pair of object items is maintained, and the object item group expands in both the first direction and a second direction that is opposite the first direction, a distance of expansion in the first direction being proportional to a distance of expansion in the second direction.

Abstract
A method for displaying screens on the touch screen of a mobile device includes displaying, on a first screen, at least two or more object items and an object item group within which at least two or more object items are arranged at a first set interval and rearranging and displaying the object items included in the object item group at a second set interval when an input is received that displays the object item group. When a touch or drag gesture is applied to the group of object items displayed at the first set interval, the object items are then displayed at a second set interval on the screen of a mobile device.
