Mobile terminal and controlling method thereof

1. A mobile terminal comprising:

a wireless communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one other terminal;

a touch screen display configured to display contents; and

a controller configured to:

receive a touch and drag action across the touch screen display,

display a moveable partitioning graphic at a position corresponding to the touch and drag action and partition the displayed contents into first and second display regions, and

independently control a function of the contents in the first display region and independently control a function of the contents in the second display region,

wherein the displayed contents include non-text data and text data and the controller is further configured to group the non-text data into one of the first or second display regions and to group the text data into the other of the first and second display regions, the non-text data including still image data and moving image data, and

wherein the controller is further configured to display a shiftable icon that can be shifted in a first direction to group the non-text data into said one of the first or second display regions and that can be shifted in a second direction to group the text data into said other of the first and second display regions.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the independently controlled function includes one of a scrolling function and a zooming function.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the moveable partitioning graphic is a slide bar that can be touched and dragged on the touch screen display to change a position of the slide bar.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

receive a selection signal indicating a selection of the non-text data or the text data displayed in the first and second display regions, and

control the wireless communication unit to transmit the selected non-text data or the text data to the at least one other terminal.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 4 , wherein the controller is further configured to stop displaying the non-text data or the text data in the first or second display regions after transmitting the selected non-text data or the text data to the at least one other terminal.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the contents include a plurality of items, and the plurality of items are displayed in the first display region, and

wherein the controller is further configured to display items selected from the first display region in the second display region based on a touch and drag action from the first display region to the second display region.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the contents include a gallery of non-text data, and

wherein the controller is further configured to display a first non-text data in the first display region and additional non-text data in the second display region.

8. A method of controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

allowing, via a wireless communication unit, wireless communication with at least one other terminal;

displaying, via a touch screen display, contents;

receiving, via a controller, a touch and drag action across the touch screen display;

displaying, via the controller, a moveable partitioning graphic at a position corresponding to the touch and drag action and partitioning the displayed contents into first and second display regions; and

independently controlling, via the controller, a function of the contents in the first display region and independently controlling a function of the contents in the second display region,

wherein the displayed contents include non-text data and text data and the method further comprises grouping the non-text data into one of the first or second display regions and grouping the text data into the other of the first and second display regions, the non-text data including still image data and moving image data, and

wherein the method further comprises displaying a shiftable icon that can be shifted in a first direction to group the non-text data into said one of the first or second display regions and that can be shifted in a second direction to group the text data into said other of the first and second display regions.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the independently controlled function includes one of a scrolling function and a zooming function.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the moveable partitioning graphic is a slide bar that can be touched and dragged on the touch screen display to change a position of the slide bar.

11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving a selection signal indicating a selection of the non-text data or the text data displayed in the first and second display regions; and

transmitting, via the wireless communication unit, the selected non-text data or the text data to the at least one other terminal.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

stop displaying the non-text data or the text data in the first or second display regions after transmitting the selected non-text data or the text data to the at least one other terminal.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the contents include a plurality of items, and the plurality of items are displayed in the first display region, and

wherein the method further comprises displaying items selected from the first display region in the second display region based on a touch and drag action from the first display region to the second display region.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the contents include a gallery of non-text data, and

wherein the method further comprises displaying a first non-text data in the first display region and additional non-text data in the second display region.
