Abstract

A displaying method for a mobile device includes: displaying one of a plurality of virtually listed pages on a screen of the mobile device; receiving a scroll input on the displayed page; in response to the scroll input, inserting images, of execution screens of widgets corresponding to adjacent pages of the displayed page, into the adjacent pages. The plurality of pages may be sequentially displayed on the screen of the mobile device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of displaying pages on a mobile device, the method comprising:
generating containers corresponding to a plurality of virtually listed pages which have display sequence for displaying on a screen;
displaying one of the plurality of virtually listed pages on a screen of the mobile device;
receiving a scroll input on the displayed page; and
inserting images of execution screens of widgets corresponding to pages adjacent to the displayed page, into the adjacent pages, in response to receiving the scroll input,
wherein the containers store at least one of: identification values of the pages, identification values of widgets corresponding to the pages, and captured images of the execution screens of the widgets.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inserting of the images of the execution screens of the widgets comprises:
capturing execution screens of the widgets in response to the scroll input; and
inserting the captured images into the respective adjacent pages.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein, in response to the scroll input on the displayed page, the adjacent pages are displayed on the screen of the mobile device.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein, if the adjacent pages are displayed, the captured images inserted into the adjacent pages are updated at preset time intervals.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the widgets corresponding to the adjacent pages of the displayed page include a widget corresponding to an adjacent page positioned before the displayed page, and a widget corresponding to an adjacent page positioned after the displayed page.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating notification information; and
generating a page into which the notification information is to be inserted,
wherein the generated page is arranged together with the plurality of pages.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of pages comprise a home screen of the mobile device.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for executing the method of claim 1 in a computer.

9. A mobile device comprising:
a display configured to display one of a plurality of virtually listed pages on a screen of the mobile device;
input circuitry configured to receive a scroll input on the displayed page; and
a controller configured to:
insert images of execution screens of widgets corresponding to pages adjacent to the displayed page, into the adjacent pages based on the scroll input; and
generate containers corresponding to the plurality of pages, wherein the containers are configured to store at least one of: identification values of the pages, identification values of the widgets corresponding to the pages, and captured images of the execution screens of the widgets,
sequentially display the plurality of virtually listed pages on the screen of the mobile device.

10. The mobile device of claim 9 , wherein, the controller is configured to capture the execution screens of the widgets and to the captured images into the adjacent pages in response to the scroll input.

11. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein, the adjacent pages are displayed on the screen of the mobile device in response to the scroll input on the displayed page.

12. The mobile device of claim 11 , wherein, the controller is configured to update the captured images inserted into the adjacent pages at preset time intervals if the adjacent pages are displayed.

13. The mobile device of claim 9 , wherein the widgets corresponding to the pages adjacent to the displayed page include a widget corresponding to an adjacent page positioned before the displayed page and a widget corresponding to an adjacent page positioned after the displayed page.

14. The mobile device of claim 9 , wherein the controller is configured to generate notification information and to generate a page into which the notification page is to be inserted,
wherein the generated page is arranged together with the plurality of pages.

15. The mobile device of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of pages comprise a home screen of the mobile device.
