Themobile terminal 100 depicted inFIG. 1 is of a slide type. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, themobile terminal 100 composed of an upper slide body and a lower slide body can be transformed into a bar type mobile terminal by removing the lower slide body having theinput unit 120. Thetouch screen 140 with a key map can act as an input means for the bar type mobile terminal. - The
mobile terminal 100 having the above configuration can activate a screen area management program stored in thestorage unit 150 in response to a user request, divide the screen into divided screen areas if necessary, and output functional view areas related to activated user functions on the individual divided screen areas. Themobile terminal 100 can support information exchange between the functional view areas and perform subsequent operations using the exchanged information. Next, each component of themobile terminal 100 is described in more detail. - The
radio frequency unit 110 establishes a communication channel for voice, video and data communication under the control of thecontrol unit 160. That is, theradio frequency unit 110 establishes a communication channel for a voice call, a data call and a video call to a mobile communication system. To achieve this, the radio frequency unit can include a radio frequency transmitter for upconverting the frequency of a signal to be transmitted and amplifying the signal, and a radio frequency receiver for low-noise amplifying a received signal and downconverting the frequency of the received signal. For effective operation of theradio frequency unit 110, the mobile terminal can display various information items including a phonebook on thedisplay unit 141. If themobile terminal 100 is not designed to support mobile communication, theradio frequency unit 110 can be eliminated from the configuration. The functional view area related to theradio frequency unit 110 can be displayed on one of divided screen areas. For example, in response to a signal for one of an outgoing call and an incoming call requiring activation of theradio frequency unit 110, themobile terminal 100 can divide the screen of thedisplay unit 141 into a plurality of divided screen areas, and output a functional view area related to a user function on one divided screen area and output a functional view area related to operation of theradio frequency unit 110 on another divided screen area. - The

In particular, as illustrated inFIG. 1 , theinput unit 120 can include atouch pad 121 near thedisplay unit 141 on an upper slide body, and a plurality ofkey buttons 123 on a lower slide body slidable under the upper slide body. Thetouch pad 121 arranged at thetouch screen 140 can generate an input signal corresponding to a touch of the user and send the input signal to thecontrol unit 160. The plurality ofkey buttons 123 are placed on the front of the lower slide body, and can be arranged in a plurality of forms like a keyboard. The plurality ofkey buttons 123 can also be arranged on a metal keypad. - The
audio processing unit 130 includes a speaker SPK for outputting incoming and outgoing audio data during a call and for outputting audio data contained in any of received messages and stored in thestorage unit 150, and a microphone MIC for collecting an audio signal such as a voice signal during a call. Theaudio processing unit 130 can generate a sound alert indicating formation of divided screen areas and output the audio component of functional view areas displayed in the divided screen areas. When each functional view area displayed in the divided screen areas contains audio data, theaudio processing unit 130 can output audio data related to a particular divided screen area or simultaneously output audio data related to all the divided screen areas, according to any of user settings and user selections. Theaudio processing unit 130 can not generate a sound alert indicating formation of divided screen areas according to user settings. - The
touch screen 140 includes adisplay unit 141 and atouch panel 143. Thetouch panel 143 can be arranged on the front of thedisplay unit 141. The size of thetouch screen 140 can depend on the size of thetouch panel 143. For example, thetouch screen 140 can be a full touch screen completely covering the front of thedisplay unit 141. - The
display unit 141 displays at least one of each of menus, information input by the user, and information to be provided to the user. For example, thedisplay unit 141 can output a plurality of screens related to utilization of themobile terminal 100, such as any screen selected from the group consisting of an idle screen, menu screen, message composition screen, and call handling screen. Thedisplay unit 141 can be implemented using any of liquid crystal display (LCD) devices and organic light emitting diodes (OLED). As described before, thetouch screen 140 including thetouch panel 143 can act as an input means. In particular, under the control of thecontrol unit 160, thedisplay unit 141 can divide the screen into a plurality of divided screen areas and output functional view areas related to user functions to the individual divided screen areas. Outputting functional view areas to the divided screen areas is described later in more detail. - The
touch panel 143 is installed on thedisplay unit 141, and can generate a touch event corresponding to a touch on one of a specific image and item displayed on thedisplay unit 141. For example, in response to a touch on a displayed instrument image, thetouch panel 143 generates a corresponding touch event and sends the touch event to thecontrol unit 160. A displayed image or item can be associated with a user function. - The
storage unit 150 can store any of application programs related to the present invention, and key maps and menu maps for the touch screen capability. The key maps can correspond to various keyboards including any of a 3*4 keyboard and a Qwerty keyboard, and can include a control key map for controlling execution of an activated application program. The menu maps can include any of a menu map for controlling execution of an activated application program, and a menu map related to the menus of themobile terminal 100.

mobile terminal 100, application programs for reproduction of various files, application programs for call-related functions, a browser for accessing a web server, application programs for playback of MP3 data, and application programs for viewing still images and moving images. In particular, thestorage unit 150 stores a screen area management program. - The screen area management program can be loaded on the
control unit 160 in response to activation of a particular user function. The screen area management program is a control program that, when divided screen area formation is requested during execution of a user function, divides the screen of thedisplay unit 141 into a plurality of divided screen areas and outputs functional view areas related to active user functions to the individual divided screen areas. To achieve this, the screen area management program can include any of a routine for detecting an input signal generated during execution of a user function, a routine for determining whether an input signal corresponds to a condition preset for divided screen area formation, and a routine for dividing the screen if the input signal corresponds to a condition preset for divided screen area formation. The screen area management program can further include any of an output routine for outputting two functional view areas related to a user function and the input signal to the corresponding divided screen areas of thedisplay unit 141, and an action routine for performing any of inserting, setting, searching, copying, moving, and invoking one of a data item in and a data item between the two displayed functional view areas for information exchange. The output routine can include any of a subroutine for reformatting the functional view area related to the user function according to the corresponding divided screen area, and a subroutine for adjusting the functional view area related to the input signal according to the corresponding divided screen area. The action routine is described in more detail later. - The data zone is an area that stores data generated by the use of the
mobile terminal 100, and can store any of phonebook information, at least one icon associated with widgets, and at least one content. The data zone can store user data input through thetouch screen 140. In particular, the data zone can temporarily store screen data related to user functions, and descriptive information regarding divided screen areas after divided screen area formation in response to a specific input signal. - The
control unit 160 controls supply of power to the components of themobile terminal 100 for initialization, and controls the components to provide a user interface for supporting divided screen areas and to perform requested operations. In particular, thecontrol unit 160 controls an operation to demarcate thedisplay unit 141 into two areas according to properties of activated user functions, and outputs functional view areas related to the user functions to the two areas. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , when a first user function and a second user function, which are independent of each other, are activated at one of the same time and in sequence, as illustrated inscreen 301, thecontrol unit 160 can control thedisplay unit 141 to divide the screen into two areas, and cause a functional view area A.App for the first user function to be displayed on one area and cause a functional view area B.App for the second user function to be displayed on the other area. The functional view area A.App and the functional view area B.App can include an image and a text string depending upon the first and second user functions. For example, if the first user function is related to music playback, the functional view area A.App can include a control key map for controlling music playback and an image depicting the music file being played back. If the second user function is related to message composition, the functional view area B.App can include a key map and a message composition view area for composing a message. - When two instances of a user function are activated, the
control unit 160 can control thedisplay unit 141 to divide the screen into two areas, and cause two functional view areas to be displayed on the corresponding areas as illustrated inscreen 302. For example, when a first user function being a message composition function is activated, thecontrol unit 160 can control thedisplay unit 141 to display one of a message composition view area in a full screen format and to display a message composition view area and a key map in a full screen format. Thereafter, when the user activates a second user function being the message composition function, thecontrol unit 160 controls thedisplay unit 141 to divide the screen into two areas, to display a functional view area A1.App (i.e., resized message composition view area) for the first user function on one area, and to display a functional view area A2.App for the second user function on the other area. For another example, when the user activates an application requiring two Web connections, thecontrol unit 160 can control thedisplay unit 141 to display a functional view area A1.App as to one Web connection and a functional view area A2.App as to the other Web connection on the corresponding areas. - When related user functions are activated, the
control unit 160 can control thedisplay unit 141 to divide the screen into two areas, and cause two functional view areas to be displayed on the corresponding areas as illustrated inscreen 303. For example, when the user activates a message composition function first and then activates a file search function for message composition, thecontrol unit 160 can control thedisplay unit 141 to divide the screen into two areas, to display a functional view area A.App as to the message composition function on one area, and to display a functional view area LinkA.App as to the file search function on the other area. Hence, the user can compose a message using the functional view area A.App displayed on one area and can find and attach a necessary file using the functional view area LinkA.App displayed on the other area. - When a user function is activated first and then a sub function thereof is activated, the
control unit 160 can control thedisplay unit 141 to divide the screen into two areas, and cause two functional view areas to be displayed on the corresponding areas as illustrated inscreen 304. For example, when a message search function is activated for received messages, thecontrol unit 160 can control thedisplay unit 141 to display a list of all received messages in a full screen format. Thereafter, when a user input signal is generated to select and view a received message of the list, thecontrol unit 160 can activate a sub user function for selecting and viewing a desired received message. Here, thecontrol unit 160 can control thedisplay unit 141 to divide the screen into two areas, to display a functional view area A.App as to the message search function on one area, and to display a functional view area SubA.App as to the message viewing function on the other area. - As described above, the
control unit 160 can control thedisplay unit 141 to divide the screen into different areas, and cause functional view areas associated with any of independent user functions, instances of the same user function, related user functions, and main and subordinate user functions, to be displayed on the corresponding areas. - Next, a description is given of divided screen area formation in connection with
FIGS. 4A to 4E . - Referring to
FIG. 4A , the user of themobile terminal 100 can generate an input signal to display a plurality of one of menu items and widget items. As illustrated inscreen 401, themobile terminal 100 can display a plurality of menu items on the screen in response to an input signal. The plurality of menu items can include a dual menu item, which is to be displayed on divided screen areas. Here, when a dual menu item is activated, the screen of thedisplay unit 141 is divided into two areas and two functional view areas as to two menus are displayed on the two areas. A dual menu item can be one of created according to design settings and be created when the user combines two menu items together. Themobile terminal 100 can provide a special menu that enables the user to combine two selected menu items together into a dual menu item. Inscreen 401, menu items E, F, G, H, I, J, K and L are a single menu item, and menu items “AB”, “CB” and “CD” are a dual menu items. - When the user selects a dual menu item “AB” in
screen 401, themobile terminal 100 can activate application programs related to the menu items A and B, display a functional view area App.A as to the application program related to the menu item A on a divided screen area, and display a functional view area App.B as to the application program related to the menu item B on the other divided screen area, as illustrated inscreen 403. As described above, themobile terminal 100 can provide a feature for setting a dual menu item and output a functional view area related to the dual menu item to the divided screen areas. - Referring to

Thereafter, when the user generates an input signal to activate a function ‘A’ inscreen 411, themobile terminal 100 can display a functional view area App.A as to the function ‘A’ on thedisplay unit 141, as illustrated inscreen 413. For example, when the user activates a Web browser, themobile terminal 100 can access a Web server using a preset Web address and display a Web access view area received from the Web server as illustrated inscreen 411. Thereafter, when the user generates an input signal to select an item having a link from the Web access view area, themobile terminal 100 can display a linked Web access view area on thedisplay unit 141, as illustrated inscreen 413. - The
mobile terminal 100 can provide simultaneous presentation of two pieces of data related by an event history. For example, when the user generates an input signal corresponding to one of a particular key and a touch event like the ‘Home’ key inscreen 413, themobile terminal 100 can simultaneously output two functional view areas App.C and App.A to thedisplay unit 141 as illustrated inscreen 415, where the functional view area App.C is related by an event history to the functional view area App.A. In this case, themobile terminal 100 can control thedisplay unit 141 to divide the screen into two areas, and cause functional view areas to be displayed on the corresponding areas. That is, themobile terminal 100 can display the functional view area App.A (presented immediately before pressing the ‘Home’ key) on the left divided screen area, and display the functional view area App.C (presented in relation to the function ‘C’ before the function ‘A’) on the right divided screen area. Themobile terminal 100 can move a functional view area to another divided screen area in response to occurrence of, for example, a drag event. When the ‘Home’ key is pressed again during display of divided screen areas, themobile terminal 100 can return to the previous screen as illustrated inscreen 413. As described above, when two functional view areas are related to each other through an event history, themobile terminal 100 can simultaneously present the two functional view areas on the divided screen areas. - Referring to
FIG. 4C , when the user generates an input signal to activate a function ‘A’, themobile terminal 100 can display a functional view area App.A as to the function ‘A’ on thedisplay unit 141, as illustrated inscreen 421. Thereafter, when the user generates an input signal to activate a sub task of the function ‘A’ inscreen 421, themobile terminal 100 activates the sub task, and can display a functional view area A_Main as to the function ‘A’ on one divided screen area and display a functional view area A_Sub as to the sub task on the other divided screen area as illustrated inscreen 423. Here, the functional view area A_Main inscreen 423 is one of a resized and a simplified version of the functional view area App.A inscreen 421. The divided screen areas to which the functional view area A_Main and functional view area A_Sub are output can be any of fixed, altered, and randomly determined according to user settings. - When the sub task A_Sub one of ends and is terminated by the user, the
mobile terminal 100 can output a functional view area App.A-1 reflecting the result of the sub task A_Sub to thedisplay unit 141 in a full screen format, as illustrated inscreen 425. - As an example for the case in
FIG. 4C , when the user generates an input signal to activate a message composition program, themobile terminal 100 can display a functional view area App.A (a message composition view area) as to the message composition program on the screen, as illustrated inscreen 421. Thereafter, when the user generates an input signal for finding an attached file, themobile terminal 100 can output a functional view area A_Sub as to the file search function as illustrated inscreen 423. Here, the functional view area App.A (message composition view area) inscreen 421 can be one of resized and changed in attribute into the functional view area A_Main as illustrated inscreen 423. Thereafter, when the user selects an image in the functional view area A_Sub and attaches the selected image to the functional view area A_Main, themobile terminal 100 can output a functional view area App.A-1 as to a message with an attached image in a full screen format as illustrated inscreen 425. When the user generates an input signal for ending file search, themobile terminal 100 can return toscreen 421. As described above, when a function and subordinate function are activated, themobile terminal 100 can output functional view areas related to the function and subordinate function to divided screen areas. - Referring to
FIG. 4D , the user of themobile terminal 100 can generate an input signal for activating a function ‘A’, themobile terminal 100 can display a functional view area App.A as to the function ‘A’ on thedisplay unit 141, as illustrated inscreen 431. Thereafter, when an event corresponding to one of a schedule and a condition is generated, themobile terminal 100 can activate an application program for handling the event and output a functional view area as to the event handling application program to thedisplay unit 141. Here, as illustrated inscreen 433, themobile terminal 100 can display the functional view area App.A as to the function ‘A’ on one divided screen area through resizing, and display a functional view area Event as to the event handling application program on the other divided screen area. - As an example for the case in
FIG. 4C , when the user generates an input signal to activate a function ‘A’ for moving image playback, themobile terminal 100 can display a functional view area App.A as to moving image playback on thedisplay unit 141 in a full screen format, as illustrated inscreen 431. Thereafter, when an incoming call is received, themobile terminal 100 can generate an alert for call reception, and output a functional view area related to call event handling to thedisplay unit 141. Here, as illustrated inscreen 433, themobile terminal 100 can display the functional view area App.A as to the function ‘A’ on one divided screen area, and display a functional view area Event as to call event handling on the other divided screen area. - As depicted above, in response to reception of an incoming call, the
mobile terminal 100 can output a functional view area related to call event handling to thedisplay unit 141. In the case of a call event, as the user normally grips themobile terminal 100 and moves it close to the user's face, themobile terminal 100 can pause moving image playback and turn off thedisplay unit 141 to save battery power. When the incoming call is ended, themobile terminal 100 can return toscreen 431. - In response to a schedule alert event, the
mobile terminal 100 can output a functional view area (an alert message) related to schedule alert handling to the left divided screen area, as illustrated inscreen 433. Here, as handling of a schedule alert event is not in conflict with playback of moving images, the functional view area related to playback of moving images can be retained. Options for playback of moving images including continue and pause can be set by the design and changed by the user. As described above, in response to occurrence of one of an external and internal event when a functional view area related to a user function is output in a full screen format, the mobile terminal can display the functional view area related to the event and the functional view area related to the user function on divided screen areas. - Referring to
