1. A mobile terminal supporting screen operation, comprising:
- a touchscreen displaying an amorphous object having the appearance of a body of liquid, a gas, or a solid composed of sand, soil, gravel or glass; and
a control unit controlling the touchscreen for outputting a screen providing the amorphous object, and in response to an input event generated by a touch and drag gesture made on the amorphous object, providing a visual effect to the amorphous object according to at least one of a movement path of the touch and drag gesture and speed thereof, and performing an unlocking function of the mobile terminal when the visual effect meets a preset condition;
wherein,the control unit represents an amount of the visual effect as an accumulated parameter value, and performs the unlocking function when the accumulated parameter value is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, coinciding with the visual effect meeting the preset condition, andthe accumulated parameter value is determined as a number of ripples, a number of overlapping ripples, a ratio of overlapping ripples, or a degree of superposition with reversed ripples.

Abstract
A mobile terminal and screen operation method for the same are disclosed. The screen operation method includes: displaying a screen containing an amorphous object that is changeable at least in part to a specific form according to an input event; receiving a generated input event; and displaying a concrete object that is generated from the amorphous object by modifying the amorphous object at least in part according to the input event.

19. A screen operation method for a mobile terminal, comprising:
-
displaying a screen containing an amorphous object having the appearance of a body of liquid, a gas, or a solid composed of sand, soil, gravel or glass; detecting an input event generated by a touch and drag gesture made on the amorphous object, and in response, providing a visual effect to the amorphous object according to at least one of a movement path of the touch and drag gesture and speed thereof; and performing an unlocking function of the mobile terminal when visual effect meets a preset condition; wherein, an amount of the visual effect is represented as an accumulated parameter value, and the unlocking function is performed when the accumulated parameter value is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, coinciding with the visual effect meeting the preset condition, and the accumulated parameter value is determined as a number of ripples, a number of overlapping ripples, a ratio of overlapping ripples, or a degree of superposition with reversed ripples. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
