Patent number: 8370762Abstract: The mobile terminal, configured to execute a variety of functions, has a touch panel display and circuitry for controlling the touch panel display and responding to touching of the touch panel display. The touch panel display is configured to display a number of functional icons, each of which is associated with one of the functions of the mobile terminal. When the circuitry detects an icon being dragged into a first region which is a designated area of the touch panel display and tapped or released by a user, the mobile terminal executes the function with which the icon is associated. Further, when a destination icon associated with contact information is displayed and the circuitry detects that an icon is dragged and overlapped with the destination icon, the mobile terminal executes the function with which the icon is associated with respect to the contact information.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2009Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventor: Martin Jeffrey Abbott
