Abstract
An apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving a message in a mobile communication terminal with a touch screen are provided. The method includes generating a Simple Contact Object (SCO) mapped to at least one contact and a Simple Inputbox Object (SIO) for message composition, displaying the generated SCO and SIO on an idle screen in a widget format, composing a message using the displayed SIO, and storing the composed message in the SIO, and, when a contact between the SIO storing the message therein and the SCO is detected, transmitting the stored message to the contact mapped to the SCO.

12. A method comprising:
-
displaying, at a first device, a widget corresponding to a selected contact among one or more contacts stored in the first device, via a display operatively coupled with the first device, prior to receiving a message corresponding to the selected contact; associating a user account with the selected contact, the user account selected by a user input; receiving a message corresponding to the user account; displaying, via the widget, a representation indicative of the message received from a second device; detecting a user input on the representation being displayed; and displaying, via the display, information corresponding to the message in response to the detection. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An apparatus comprising:
-
a display; and at least one processor operatively coupled with the display, the at least one processor configured to; store, via a memory, a plurality of contact information, select a contact among the plurality of contact information, in response to selection of the contact information, present, via the display, a dynamic graphical user interface object corresponding to the selected contact information, while the widget is presented in the display, receive a message corresponding to the selected contact from an electronic device external to the apparatus, in response to the message, present, via the dynamic graphical user interface object, an indication of receipt of the message based at least in part on a determination that the message corresponds to at least one portion of the contact information, detect a user input on the representation being presented, and present, via the display, at least one portion of the message in response to the user input. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A non-transitory machine-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
storing, via a memory of a first device, a plurality of contacts, selecting a contact among the plurality of contacts; in response to selection of the contact, displaying, at the first device, a widget corresponding to a selected contact, via a display operatively coupled with the first device, prior to receiving a message corresponding to the selected contact; while the widget is presented in the display, receiving a message corresponding to the selected contact; in response to receiving the message, displaying, via the widget, a representation indicative of the message received from a second device; detecting a user input on the representation being displayed; and displaying, via the display, at least part of the message in response to the detection user input.
