A method of moving at least one object on a touch screen of a terminal , the method comprising: detecting a first touch on the touch screen when an operation mode of the terminal is a standby mode in which the touch screen is operative to receive touch input and display at least one screen; when the first touch is a multi-touch, determining whether a contact time of the multi-touch exceeds a threshold time; and changing the operation mode of the terminal from the standby mode to a moving mode when the contact time of the multi-touch exceeds the threshold time, wherein, when the operation mode of the terminal is the moving mode, the method further comprises: detecting a second touch on the touch screen ; determining content displayed on the touch screen as at least one object to be moved by the second touch; and moving the at least one object on the touch screen in response to a motion of the second touch, wherein, when the second touch is a flick , the moving of the at least one object comprises: displaying on the touch screen a movement candidate group consisting of candidate targets for moving the at least one object; detecting selection of one candidate target from the movement candidate group through a third touch on the touch screen ; and displaying the at least one object at a location corresponding to the selected candidate target. detecting a first touch on the touch screen when an operation mode of the terminal is a standby mode in which the touch screen is operative to receive touch input and display at least one screen; when the first touch is a multi-touch, determining whether a contact time of the multi-touch exceeds a threshold time; and changing the operation mode of the terminal from the standby mode to a moving mode when the contact time of the multi-touch exceeds the threshold time, wherein, when the operation mode of the terminal is the moving mode, the method further comprises: detecting a second touch on the touch screen ; determining content displayed on the touch screen as at least one object to be moved by the second touch; and moving the at least one object on the touch screen in response to a motion of the second touch, detecting a second touch on the touch screen ; determining content displayed on the touch screen as at least one object to be moved by the second touch; and moving the at least one object on the touch screen in response to a motion of the second touch, wherein, when the second touch is a flick , the moving of the at least one object comprises: displaying on the touch screen a movement candidate group consisting of candidate targets for moving the at least one object; detecting selection of one candidate target from the movement candidate group through a third touch on the touch screen ; and displaying the at least one object at a location corresponding to the selected candidate target. displaying on the touch screen a movement candidate group consisting of candidate targets for moving the at least one object; detecting selection of one candidate target from the movement candidate group through a third touch on the touch screen ; and displaying the at least one object at a location corresponding to the selected candidate target. <EOS>
