Abstract
A method of controlling a mobile terminal including allowing, via a wireless communication unit on the mobile terminal, wirelessly communication with at least one other terminal; displaying, on a display of the mobile terminal, an application screen corresponding to an execution of an application on the mobile terminal; reducing, via a controller on the mobile terminal, a size of the application screen in response to a reduction input operation performed on the mobile terminal; determining, via the controller, if the application screen is reduced below a predetermined size; displaying, via the display, a widget corresponding to the application instead of the application screen on the display when the application screen is reduced below the predetermined size; and expanding, via the controller, the application screen back to its original size before the reduction input operation has been performed when the application screen is not reduced below the predetermined size.
