Abstract

A mobile terminal is presented. The mobile terminal includes a touchscreen configured to display at least one or more data link items, the touchscreen receiving an input for a preview of a first data link item from the at least one or more data link items, and a controller configured to control the touchscreen to display a first display window for displaying a first data associated with the first data link item on a predetermined region of the touchscreen after receiving the input for the preview of the first data link item, and further configured to adjust a size for the first display window after receiving an input associated with a size adjusting signal.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a touchscreen configured to display a window for writing a message, the window including a name of a recipient for the message and a content of the message;

a memory; and

a controller configured to;

when a first point and a second point of the displayed window are simultaneously touched via the touchscreen and a distance between the touched first and second points of the displayed window is decreased to be less than a predetermined distance, stop both a write operation of the message and the displaying of the window;

cause the touchscreen to display a standby screen instead of the window when the displaying of the window is stopped;

store re-display information on the display stopped window in the memory;

create an item for re-displaying the display stopped window; and

cause the touchscreen to display the item on the standby screen,

wherein the item represents the name of the recipient, stop time information and the content of the message.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the item is displayed as a widget or a key.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein when the item is touched via the touchscreen, the controller is further configured to cause the touchscreen to re-display the display stopped window using the stored re-display information.

4. A method of controlling an access of a webpage in a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

displaying, on a touchscreen of the mobile terminal, a window for writing a message, the window including a name of a recipient for the message and a content of the message;

when a first point and a second point of the displayed window are simultaneously touched via the touchscreen and a distance between the touched first and second points of the displayed window is decreased to be less than a predetermined distance, stopping both a write operation of the message and the displaying of the window;

displaying, on the touchscreen, a standby screen instead of the window when the displaying of the window is stopped;

storing, in a memory of the mobile terminal, re-display information on the display stopped window;

create an item for re-displaying the display stopped window; and

displaying the item on the standby screen,
