A mobile terminal comprising: a display to display a plurality of divisional screen regions; and a controller adapted to, in response to an input for entering a division mode, generate a list region (520; 1030) in such a manner as to spread out upward and downward from the middle of a screen, to divide the display into a first screen region (530; 1010) and a second screen region (540; 1020) with the list region (520; 1030) between the first screen region and the second screen region, and to execute first and second applications previously selected from among a plurality of applications included in the list region (520; 1030) on the first and second screen regions (530, 540; 1010, 1020), respectively, wherein the list region (520; 1030) includes a list of the plurality of applications and an indicator (550; 1040) pointing to one of the first and second screen regions, wherein the controller is adapted to execute a third application including objects (1054; 1064) on the list region (520; 1030), the third application being selected from among the plurality of applications included in the list displayed on the list region (520; 1030), wherein the controller is adapted to, in response to selection of one of the objects (1054; 1064) included in the third application which is executed on the list region (520; 1030), enable one of the first and second applications, which is executed on the one of the first and second screen regions to which the indicator (550; 1040) points, to use the selected object (1054; 1064), and wherein the list region (520; 1030) is gradually decreased in size as opposed to the process of generating the list region and converted to a bar that constitutes a border between the first screen region and the second screen region. a display to display a plurality of divisional screen regions; and a controller adapted to, in response to an input for entering a division mode, generate a list region (520; 1030) in such a manner as to spread out upward and downward from the middle of a screen, to divide the display into a first screen region (530; 1010) and a second screen region (540; 1020) with the list region (520; 1030) between the first screen region and the second screen region, and to execute first and second applications previously selected from among a plurality of applications included in the list region (520; 1030) on the first and second screen regions (530, 540; 1010, 1020), respectively, wherein the list region (520; 1030) includes a list of the plurality of applications and an indicator (550; 1040) pointing to one of the first and second screen regions, wherein the controller is adapted to execute a third application including objects (1054; 1064) on the list region (520; 1030), the third application being selected from among the plurality of applications included in the list displayed on the list region (520; 1030), wherein the controller is adapted to, in response to selection of one of the objects (1054; 1064) included in the third application which is executed on the list region (520; 1030), enable one of the first and second applications, which is executed on the one of the first and second screen regions to which the indicator (550; 1040) points, to use the selected object (1054; 1064), and wherein the list region (520; 1030) is gradually decreased in size as opposed to the process of generating the list region and converted to a bar that constitutes a border between the first screen region and the second screen region.
