Abstract: A graphical user interface, method and apparatus for providing visual effects on a touchscreen display, including: displaying a first screen; detecting a multi-point touch on the first screen; detecting a first touch event based on the multi-point touch; turning the first screen into a garbage object in response to the first touch event; and removing the garbage object by moving the garbage object to a trash bin icon.

Abstract: A page display method is provided that detects information related to pages of an e-book that the user inputs in a mobile device with a touch screen, and displays the pages on the touch screen, according to the detection. A system adapted to the method is also provided. The method includes: displaying a page of an e-book on the touch screen in a preset mode; detecting a touch at a spot on the displayed page; detecting a press by detecting a contact period of time of the detected touch; and, in response to at least one of a location of the spot and a strength of the detected press, displaying the spot on the page as being deformed.
