Abstract: A method and an apparatus for editing a list in a portable terminal including a touch screen are provided. The method includes displaying a list screen including a plurality of items, displaying a moving affordance area for inputting a touch event for moving a position of a selected item when at least one of the plurality of items is selected, and moving the position of the selected item in accordance with the touch event. A user may thereby easily edit an arrangement order of items included in a list.

Abstract: A method of informing occurrence of an event and a mobile terminal using the same are disclosed. The method includes: determining whether a missed event occurs; sensing a user's attention to the mobile terminal; and informing the occurrence of the missed event when the user's attention is sensed. Since the mobile terminal informs the occurrence of the missed event only when the user gives attention to his/her mobile terminal, the number of times for informing the missed event is reduced and damage of people around the mobile terminal and power consumption of the mobile terminal caused by sound or vibration of informing the occurrence of the event can be minimized.

Abstract: A portable terminal reflecting a user's environment and a method for operating the same are disclosed. The method includes: generating usage pattern information that contains pattern environment information of the portable terminal and function information corresponding to the pattern environment information; collecting current environment information of the portable terminal; searching for pattern environment information that substantially identical to the collected current environment information; extracting function information corresponding to the searched pattern environment information; and configuring a graphic user interface (GUI) based on the extracted function information.

Abstract: Provided is a portable terminal providing environment adapted to a current situation and a method for operating the same. The method includes the steps of: collecting current situation information of the portable terminal; searching preset situation information classified as a same situation as the current situation information; extracting function information of the portable terminal corresponding to the searched preset situation information; and constituting a Graphic User Interface (GUI) according to the extracted function information.
