Patent ID: 8044975

Claim:
An apparatus for providing a wallpaper in a mobile terminal, the apparatus comprising: a memory module configured to store images of a preset basic frame; an image generation module configured to generate a fluid image and particle images; a display module configured to display the fluid image and particle images; a motion detection module configured to detect a movement amount and a movement direction of the mobile terminal; a gravity sensor configured to detect a direction of current gravity; and a controller configured to control the image generation module to generate a wallpaper based on the images of the basic frame with the fluid image and the particle images displayed within the basic frame, set an image movement amount and an image movement direction of the particle images according to a result detected by the motion detection module, and control the display module to display the fluid image and the particles images such that the particle images move according to the set movement amount and the set movement direction, wherein the controller is configured to set the image movement amount and the image movement direction of the particle images by reflecting a detected gravity direction on at least one of the movement amount and the movement direction calculated based on the result detected by the motion detection module, and to control the display module to move the particle images according to the set image movement amount and the image movement direction.
