Mobile terminal and controlling method thereof
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal comprising:
- a touchscreen configured to display information; and
a controller configured to;
execute a first function and control the touchscreen to display a first function window;
automatically stop the execution of the first function at a first execution stop timing point in order to avoid multitasking of the first function and at least a second function upon newly executing a second function different from the first function while still executing the first function;
control the touchscreen to display a second function window upon newly executing the second function;
control the touchscreen to display a polyhedron including a first facet and a second facet such that the first function window is displayed on the first facet and the second function window is displayed on the second facet;
control the touchscreen to no longer display the first function window and to display a first function icon at the first execution stop timing point, the first function icon indicating execution progress status information related to the first function;
re-execute the first function upon selection of the first function icon such that execution of the first function is continuous from the first execution stop timing point; and
control the touchscreen to display the first function window again and no-longer display the first function icon when the first function is re-executed.

Abstract
A mobile terminal and controlling method thereof are disclosed, which facilitates a terminal to be used in further consideration of user'"'"'s convenience. According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, while a first function is being executed in a mobile terminal, if a second function different from the first function is executed, a first function icon having execution progress status information of the first function at a timing point of stopping the execution of the first function can be generated. If the first function is re-executed by selecting the first function icon later, it is advantageous in that the first function can be executed in a manner of being continuous with an execution progress status at the execution stop timing point.
