Abstract
A method for displaying a background image in a mobile telephone that downloads background images from a computer, stores the downloaded background images in a memory, and displays a selected one of the stored background images. The method comprises displaying the selected background image for a predetermined time, in a background image display request condition; determining whether an urgent character message display condition has occurred while the background image is displayed; upon detection of the urgent character message display condition, stopping display of the background image and displaying the urgent character message; and upon detection of a normal character message display condition, continuing to display the background image, and after expiration of a predetermined time, displaying the normal character message.
