Abstract

A mobile terminal and a method of providing a scheduler therein are provided. The mobile terminal comprises: a touch screen; a memory unit for storing a scheduler; and a controller for controlling to display, when displaying a screen of the scheduler on the touch screen, an indicator for changing a relative position thereof to a time axis and for representing a time range of any schedule item by the relative position thereof on the scheduler screen.

Claims (15)

1. A mobile terminal comprising:

a touch screen;

a memory unit for storing a scheduler for providing a plurality of scheduler screens comprising a first scheduler screen including a first scheduler region in a vertical state and a second scheduler screen including a second scheduler region in a horizontal state;

a position detection unit for detecting a rotation of the mobile terminal; and

a controller for converting, when displaying the first scheduler screen on the touch screen, if a rotation degree of the mobile terminal detected by the position detection unit is greater than a threshold value, the first scheduler screen to the second scheduler screen,

wherein the first scheduler region is not scrolled based on a flicking signal generated based on a flicking gesture on the first scheduler region by a user, wherein the second scheduler region is scrolled based on a flicking signal generated based on a flicking gesture on the second scheduler region by the user, and wherein each flicking signal is generated by a left to right flicking gesture or a right to left flicking gesture on a corresponding scheduler region.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein a screen for the first scheduler screen and the second scheduler screen can be zoomed-in or zoomed-out according to a predetermined input signal and changes a time range thereof according to the zoom-in or zoom-out.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the first scheduler region includes a region in which a calendar is displayed and the second scheduler region includes a region in which schedule items corresponding to at least one date included in the calendar can be displayed.

4. A method of providing a scheduler in a mobile terminal having a touch screen, comprising:

displaying a first scheduler screen provided by the scheduler on the touch screen in a vertical state, wherein the first scheduler screen includes a first scheduler region;

detecting a rotation of the mobile terminal; and

converting, if a rotation degree of the mobile terminal is greater than a threshold value, the first scheduler screen to a second scheduler screen provided by the scheduler,

wherein the first scheduler region is not scrolled based on a flicking signal generated based on a flicking gesture on the first scheduler region by a user, wherein the second scheduler region is scrolled based on a flicking signal generated based on a flicking gesture on the second scheduler region by the user, and wherein each flicking signal is generated by left to right flicking gesture or right to left gesture on a corresponding scheduler region.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein a screen for the first scheduler screen and the second scheduler screen can be zoomed-in or zoomed-out according to a predetermined input signal and changes a time range thereof according to the zoom-in or zoom-out.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first scheduler region includes a region in which a calendar is displayed and the second scheduler region includes a region in which schedule items corresponding to at least one of date included the calendar can be displayed.
