identify a first user input on the first execution screen or the second execution screen,
based at least in part on the first user input, display, on the touchscreen display, a third execution screen of a third application as a full screen mode, wherein the third execution screen includes a plurality of images, and wherein the third application is different from the first application and second application,
identify a second user input for a first image among the plurality of images while the third execution screen is displayed on the touchscreen display as the full screen mode,
based at least in part on the second user input, display a thumbnail image corresponding to the first image on the touchscreen display, wherein the thumbnail image is displayed on the touchscreen display while the second user input is maintained,
identify a third user input for displaying the first execution screen and the second execution screen as the split mode while the second user input is maintained on the touchscreen display,
based at least in part on the third user input, display the first execution screen and the second execution screen as the split mode with maintaining displaying of the thumbnail image on the touchscreen display, and
display an image corresponding to the first image on the first execution screen based at least in part on a release of the second user input on the first execution screen maintaining the split mode.
