Patent ID: 8417297

Claim:
A mobile terminal, comprising: a first body including a first touch screen; a second body including a second touch screen; a combining part coupling the first body and the second body together such that the first body and second body move relative to each other; a sensing unit configured to sense an angle between the first body and the second body; a memory configured to store a plurality of graphic user interfaces that each include at least one object, wherein each of the stored plurality of graphic user interfaces comprises a corresponding screen configuration that is different from screen configurations corresponding to other of the stored plurality of graphic user interfaces; and a controller configured to: assign priority to one of the first touch screen or second touch screen based on predetermined conditions, wherein the predetermined conditions comprise at least a direction in which each of the first touch screen and the second touch screen faces, the sensed angle between the first body and the second body, or an activation status of the first touch screen or second touch screen; select the first touch screen or second touch screen to which priority was assigned; select one of the graphic user interfaces of the stored plurality of graphic user interfaces based on the sensed angle; and control displaying of the selected one of the graphic user interfaces on the selected first touch screen or second touch screen, wherein each of the stored plurality of graphic user interfaces corresponds to one of a plurality of sensed angles between the first body and the second body such that a first graphic user interface of the plurality of graphic user interfaces is displayed on the selected one of the first touch screen and the second touch screen when the sensed angle is within a first range of angles, a second graphic user interface of the plurality of graphic user interfaces is displayed on the selected one of the first touch screen and the second touch screen when the sensed angle is within a second range of angles that does not overlap the first range of angles, and a third graphic user interface of the plurality of graphic user interfaces is displayed on the selected one of the first touch screen and the second touch screen when the sensed angle is within a third range of angles that does not overlap the first range of angle or the second range of angles.
