First Claim
1. An apparatus for controlling a touchscreen in a wireless terminal, the apparatus comprising:
- a first display screen unit configured to display images generated while performing a function in at least one of a first operating state and a second operating state of the wireless terminal;
a second display screen unit configured to;
display first operating state objects used to perform first functions in the first operating state, anddisplay second operating state objects used to perform second functions in the second operating state when the wireless terminal switches from the first operating state to the second operating state; and
a control unit configured to;
switch to the first operating state when the wireless terminal enters an active operation state,control the second display screen unit to display the first operating state objects on the second display screen unit when the wireless terminal switches to the first operating state, anddisplay the second operating state objects on the second display screen unit when the wireless terminal switches to the second operating state in response to a selection of an object from among the first operating state objects,wherein, when the wireless terminal is in an inactive operation state, the control unit is further configured to;
deactivate the first display screen unit and the second display screen unit, andcontrol a second function of the second display screen unit to be converted into a first function of the first display screen unit,wherein the first operating state objects are different from the second operating state objects, andwherein the first functions to be performed by the first operating state objects are different from the second functions to be performed by the second operating state objects.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for controlling a touchscreen in a wireless terminal are provided. The apparatus includes a display unit which is activated when the wireless terminal is in a first operation state, a touchscreen unit which is activated and displays an icon for performing a corresponding function at a current mode when the wireless terminal is in the first operation state, and a control unit which activates the display unit and controls the icon for performing a corresponding function at a current mode to be displayed on the touchscreen unit when the wireless terminal is in the first operation state. The method includes activating a display unit and displaying an icon for performing a corresponding function at a current mode on a touchscreen unit when the wireless terminal is in a first operation state, and deactivating the display unit and converting a function of the touchscreen unit into a function of the display unit or activating the display unit when the wireless terminal is in a second operation state contrary to the first operation state.
