Abstract

The invention relates to a method for managing a display device (DSP) of a portable communications device (MFG) having the following characteristics: said display device is used for displaying graphical subject matter, it also comprises a processing device (LAE) for carrying out first and second applications, each of which has an output subject matter. A control device (IM) for managing the graphical display surface of the display device is also provided, wherein the control device of the first application allocates a first display area and the control device of the second application allocates a second display area in such a way that no overlap of said display areas is produced, thereby avoiding the harmful influence of the first performed application on the second later invoked application.
