摘要

The present disclosure is related to a mobile terminal comprising: a touch screen configured to display a plurality of objects, and to generate a proximity signal or a direct touch signal by using an input medium; and a controller configured to display changed sizes of a plurality of selected objects located within a range from the input medium among the plurality of objects according to the proximity signal.

主权项

1. A method of controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
displaying, on a touchscreen of the mobile terminal, a plurality of high level objects, wherein each of the plurality of high level objects is individually selectable via a proximity touch input received at a displayed location of a respective high level object of the plurality of high level objects, and wherein each high level object of the plurality of high level objects includes an associated plurality of low level objects that are displayable on the touchscreen; displaying a preview object at a location of the touchscreen in response to receiving a proximity touch input, wherein the location of the displayed preview object overlays a portion of a first high level object of the plurality of high level objects, and wherein the displayed preview object includes a first partial group of low level objects among the plurality of low level objects that are associated with the first high level object; displaying, in the preview object, a second partial group of low level objects among the plurality of low level objects that are associated with the first high level object, wherein the first partial group of low level objects is different than the second partial group of low level objects; and discriminating the proximity touch input from a direct touch input, wherein the proximity touch input executes a function to display the preview object, and the direct touch input executes a function to open the first high level object and display a plurality of low level objects that are both associated with the first high level object and are displayed differently than the first and second partial groups of low level objects displayed in the preview object.
