Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for displaying data for multitasking operation in a mobile telecommunication terminal without deleting a task with a lower priority when a task with a higher priority simultaneously is operated. In other words, the inventive mobile telecommunication terminal is capable of converting a display assigned for each task while on multitasking operation. In order to implement the above function, a method for displaying data for multitasking operation in a mobile telecommunication terminal, comprising the steps of: while operating a first task, operating a second task responsive to a multitask request; determining whether a capacity of display conversion exceeds; if the capacity of display conversion exceeds, outputting an error message; and if the capacity of display conversion does not exceed, storing a display for displaying the first task and displaying the second task.

Claims (19)

1. A method for displaying data for multitasking operation in a mobile telecommunication terminal, comprising the steps of:

(a) while operating a first task, operating a second task responsive to a multitask request;

(b) determining whether a capacity of display conversion exceeds;

(c) if the capacity of display conversion exceeds, outputting an error message;

(d) if the capacity of display conversion does not exceed, storing a display for displaying the first task with a serial number according to an operating sequence order of the task and displaying the second task;

(e) after performing the step (c), determining whether to terminate the first task;

(f) in case of terminating the first task, deleting the display for the first task so as to display the second task; and

(g) in case of continuing the first task, terminating the second task,

wherein the serial number of the second task remains unchanged when the second task is displayed, and

the display for an operating task includes the serial number of the corresponding task associated with a total number of operating tasks.

2. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the mobile telecommunication terminal includes a display conversion switch for selecting one of multitasks.

3. A method of display conversion for multitasking operation in a mobile telecommunication terminal, comprising the steps of:

(a) allowing a user to select a display conversion menu for converting a display while performing multitasks;

(b) determining a display conversion mode according to the selection from the display conversion menu;

(c) in case of a rapid display conversion mode, displaying all identifiers assigned for each operating task and allowing a user to select a task to be shifted so as to convert a display; and

(d) in case of a general display conversion mode, converting a display sequentially according to an operating sequence order from a display for a current task through the use of a shift key,

wherein the identifier includes a serial number indicating the operating sequence order of a corresponding task among a total number of operating tasks,

the serial number of the corresponding task remains unchanged when the user selects the corresponding task,

and the converted display includes the serial number of the corresponding task associated with the total number of operating tasks.
