Abstract: A mobile terminal provides a guide and feedback for a lock release operation to implement a gesture for a lock release operation at an arbitrary location and in various directions. A method of releasing a user interface lock state in a mobile terminal having a touch sensing display according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include setting the mobile terminal to a user interface lock state; detecting a contact with the touch sensing display at an arbitrary location on the touch sensing display; displaying a lock release region corresponding to the arbitrary location while maintaining a contact with the touch sensing display; displaying the movement of the contact in the lock release region; and switching the mobile terminal into a user interface lock release state when the movement of the contact in the lock release region satisfies a predetermined condition.

Abstract: A mobile terminal including a wireless communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one other terminal; a touchscreen configured to display a home screen; and a controller configured to display a plurality of objects dispersed on the home screen, receive a specific touch gesture performed on the touchscreen, and arrange and display the dispersed objects on the home screen in which the dispersed objects are moved closer to each other based on a prescribed direction of the specific touch gesture.

Abstract: A mobile terminal including a touchscreen; a wireless communication unit; a memory configured to store a specific application; and a controller configured to display a first object related to the specific application, the first object having a first size, in which the specific application can be executed in response to a first touch gesture on the first object, in response to a second touch gesture with respect to the displayed first object, display an object indicator indicating that the first object can be changed into a second object related to the specific application, the second object having a second size, and in response to a third touch gesture with respect to the object indicator, change the displayed first object into the second object such that the first object is visually transformed into the second object.

Abstract: A mobile terminal including a wireless communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one other terminal; a display unit including a touchscreen; a memory configured to store a specific application, an application icon for executing the specific application, and a first widget application displaying a partial executed function of the specific application; and a controller configured to when receiving a first touch gesture on the application icon, execute the specific application, and when receiving a second touch gesture on the application icon that is different than the first touch gesture, control the display unit to display the first widget application on the touchscreen.
