For this, the event display method includes detecting at least one or more events in a mobile terminal, displaying a multi time graphic divided into a plurality of time graphics on a display screen, and locating the detected events on the multi time graphic.

Claims (20)

1. An event display method for a mobile terminal, comprising:

detecting at least one or more events in a mobile terminal;

displaying a multi time graphic divided into a plurality of time graphics on a display screen;

locating the detected events on the multi time graphic; and

displaying another multi time graphic representing the past or the future time on the display screen based on an input conducted in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the multi time graphic is a plurality of time graphics divided into a plurality of quadrants.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

magnifying or reducing at least one or more of the plurality of time graphics.

6. An event display apparatus for a mobile terminal, comprising:

a sensing unit which senses at least one or more events in a mobile terminal; and

a control unit which displays a multi time graphic divided into a plurality of time graphics on a display screen, and locates the detected events on the multi time graphic,

wherein the control unit displays another multi time graphic representing the past or the future time on the display screen based on an input conducted in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the multi time graphic is a plurality of time graphics divided into a plurality of quadrants.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the controller magnifies or reduces at least one or more of the plurality of time graphics.

9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the input is corresponding to dragging via a touch screen.
