Method for controlling display of multiple objects depending on input related to operation of mobile terminal, and mobile terminal therefor
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a display of a plurality of areas according to a motion of a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- dividing a display screen into the plurality of areas according to a predefined layout;
identifying a shaking motion of the mobile terminal while the plurality of areas are displayed, wherein the shaking motion comprises a first movement associated with a first direction and a second movement associated with a second direction opposite to the first direction;
determining whether the first and second direction of the shaking motion corresponds to a reconfiguration direction in which the layout changes; and
in response to the shaking motion being performed a predetermined number of times;
identifying at least one area of the plurality of areas to be moved according to the reconfiguration direction,maintaining remaining areas of the plurality of areas that are not to be moved in same area in which the remaining areas are displayed before the shaking motion, wherein the at least one area to be moved and the remaining areas to be maintained in the same area are identified according to a preset arrangement rule,moving all of the identified at least one area of the plurality of areas to at least one different location within the layout in which the identified at least one area of the plurality of areas was not displayed before the shaking motion, such that the plurality of areas are arranged according to the preset arrangement rule and remain being displayed on the display screen after the shaking motion; and
displaying at least one icon for adjusting a number of the plurality of areas in the layout andrearranging the plurality of areas when adding or removing one or more areas in response to the shaking motion of the mobile terminal being performed number of times while a touch on the at least one icon for adjusting is maintained.

Abstract
A method of controlling a display of a plurality of objects according to an input related to operation of a mobile terminal is provided. The method includes changing, if an input related to operation of the mobile terminal is received when a layout including a plurality of areas in which a plurality of objects are respectively displayed is displayed, one or more of the plurality of areas corresponding to the input related to the operation of the mobile terminal, and displaying a layout including the changed areas. The input related to the operation of the mobile terminal may be a motion of the mobile terminal, a user'"'"'s breath, or a gesture. If an input related to operation of the mobile terminal is detected while one of the areas constituting the layout is being touched, the remaining areas except for the touched area are rearranged.

11. A mobile terminal for controlling a display of a plurality of areas according to a shaking motion of the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal comprising:
-
a display screen divided into the plurality of areas according to a predefined layout; a sensor device configured to detect the shaking motion of the mobile terminal; and at least one processor configured to; identify, by using the sensor device, the shaking motion of the mobile terminal while the plurality of areas are displayed, wherein the shaking motion comprises a first movement associated with a first direction and a second movement associated with a second direction opposite to the first direction, determine whether the first and second direction of the shaking motion corresponds to a reconfiguration direction in which the layout changes; and in response to the shaking motion being performed a predetermined number of times; identify at least one area of the plurality of areas to be moved according to the reconfiguration direction, maintain all remaining areas of the plurality of areas that are not to be moved in same area in which the remaining areas are displayed before the shaking motion, wherein the at least one area to be moved and the remaining areas to be maintained in the same area are identified according to a preset arrangement rule, move all of the identified at least one area of the plurality of areas to at least one different location within the layout in which the identified at least one area of the plurality of areas was not displayed before the shaking motion, such that the plurality of areas are arranged according to the preset arrangement rule and remain being displayed on the display screen after the shaking motion, and display at least one icon for adjusting a number of the plurality of areas in the layout and rearranging the plurality of areas when adding or removing one or more areas in response to the shaking motion of the mobile terminal being performed number of times while a touch on the at least one icon for adjusting is maintained. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
