Abstract

A method of controlling a mobile apparatus to display an end effect is provided. The method includes displaying at least one object on a first layer on a touch screen, converting the at least one object in response to a first gesture that converts the at least one object, detecting that the conversion for the at least one object is ended, and displaying an end effect, which represents a message saying that the at least one object to be converted does not exist anymore or represents additional information, on the touch screen.

Claims

1. A portable communication device comprising:

memory to store a plurality of objects;

a touchscreen display; and

a processor configured to control to;

display, via the touchscreen display, at least one object among the plurality of objects,

receive, via the touchscreen display, a user input to scroll the at least one object among the plurality of objects in a specified direction, and

display, via the touchscreen display, an indication indicating a quantity of the plurality of objects, in response to a determination that there is not another object to display according to the user input.

2. The portable communication device of claim 1, the processor is configured to display a list of the plurality of objects, wherein the plurality of objects comprises at least one of an image or text.

3. The portable communication device of claim 2, wherein the processor is configured to display the indication on at least one of a top end of the plurality of objects, adjacent to the top end of the plurality of objects, or above the top end of the plurality of objects.

4. The portable communication device of claim 1, wherein the user input includes a drag or a flick.

5. The portable communication device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to display the indication while the user input is maintained.

6. The portable communication device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to stop displaying the indication after the user input is released.

7. The portable communication device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to display the indication in a first region of the touch screen display while another portion of the plurality of objects is presented in a second region of the touchscreen display.

8. The portable communication device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to determine that another portion of the plurality of objects to be presented does not exist anymore, as at least part of the determining.

9. The portable communication device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to present the indication in a bar such that the indication is not overlapped with the plurality of objects.

10. A method for presenting content using a portable communication device, the method comprising:

displaying, via a touchscreen display, at least one object among a plurality of objects,

receiving, via the touchscreen display, a user input to scroll the at least one object among the plurality of objects in a specified direction, and

displaying, via the touchscreen display, an indication indicating a quantity of the plurality of objects, in response to a determination that there is not another object to display according to the user input.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

displaying a list of the plurality of objects, wherein the plurality of objects comprises at least one of an image or text.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

displaying the indication on at least one of a top end of the plurality of objects, adjacent to the top end of the plurality of objects, or above the top end of the plurality of objects.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein the user input includes a drag or a flick.

14. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

displaying the indication while the user input is maintained.

15. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

stopping displaying the indication after the user input is released.

16. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

displaying the indication in a first region of the touch screen display while another portion of the plurality of objects is presented in a second region of the touch screen display.

17. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

determining that another portion of the plurality of objects to be presented does not exist anymore, as at least part of the determining.

18. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

displaying the indication in a bar such that the indication is not overlapped with the plurality of objects.

19. A portable communication device comprising:

memory to store a plurality of objects;

a touchscreen display; and

a processor configured to control to;

display, via the touchscreen display, at least one object among the plurality of objects,

receive, via the touchscreen display, a user input to scroll the at least one object among the plurality of objects in a specified direction, and

display, via the touchscreen display, an indication indicating a quantity of the plurality of objects, in response to a determination that an end of the plurality of objects is reached according to the user input.

20. A method for presenting content using a portable communication device, the method comprising:

displaying, via a touchscreen display, at least one object among a plurality of objects,

receiving, via the touchscreen display, a user input to scroll the at least one object among the plurality of objects in a specified direction, and

displaying, via the touchscreen display, an indication indicating a quantity of the plurality of objects, in response to a determination that an end of the plurality of objects is reached according to the user input.
