Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for a portable device having a touch display. An original-view screen is displayed on a full area of the touch display in a portrait orientation. In response to a received input event, the mini-view screen is displayed on a partial area of the touch display. The mini-view screen is a reduced version of the original-view screen. It is detected that an orientation of the portable device is changed from the portrait orientation to a landscape orientation. The mini-view screen is temporarily deactivated and icons of the original view screen are displayed on the full area in the landscape orientation. It is detected that an orientation of the portable device is returned from the landscape orientation to the portrait orientation. The mini-view screen is re-activated and displayed on the partial area.
