Abstract
A method for controlling display of an icon on a terminal includes displaying a first graphical object corresponding to an application, detecting a data update for the application, generating a second graphical object based on the data update, displaying the second graphical object on at least a portion of the first graphical object, in which the second graphical object corresponds to a content of the data update. An apparatus to control display of an icon includes a storage unit to store a first graphical object corresponding to an application, a detection unit to detect a data update for the application, a processing unit to generate a second graphical object based on the data update, a control unit to display the second graphical object on at least a portion of the first graphical object, in which the second graphical object corresponds to a content of the data update.
