The control unit 180 may select and drag and drop text or images displayed on the first display unit 151 or the second display unit 152 while the first display unit 151 and the second display unit 152 are active, If the same user input is detected (S608), the selected and dragged-and-dropped text or image can be displayed on the display unit (S610)

For example, as shown in FIG. 7 (c), a user input that selects and displays a text including link information among the messages displayed on the second display unit 152 in the direction of the first display unit 151 The first display unit 151 can output information about images or texts included in the link information. Also, when a user message input request signal is detected, a keyboard image can be displayed on the display unit of either the first display unit 151 or the second display unit 152, or a UI capable of inputting text can be displayed. In the embodiment of the present invention, an example has been described in which a text including link information is selected and the corresponding image is displayed on the first display unit 151. However, various types of contents such as moving pictures, text specialists and the like can be separately displayed on the first display unit 151 and the second display unit 152 and displayed independently or organically.

The various embodiments described herein may be embodied in a recording medium readable by a computer or similar device using, for example, software, hardware, or a combination thereof.

According to a hardware implementation, the embodiments described herein may be implemented as application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), digital signal processors (DSPs), digital signal processing devices (DSPDs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), field programmable gate arrays May be implemented using at least one of processors, controllers, micro-controllers, microprocessors, and other electronic units for performing other functions. In some cases, May be implemented by the control unit 180.

According to a software implementation, embodiments such as procedures or functions may be implemented with separate software modules that perform at least one function or operation. The software code may be implemented by a software application written in a suitable programming language. The software codes are stored in the memory 160 and can be executed by the control unit 180. [

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the above-described method can be implemented as a code that can be read by a processor on a medium on which the program is recorded. Examples of the medium that can be read by the processor include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, optical data storage, etc., and may be implemented in the form of a carrier wave (e.g., transmission over the Internet) .

The mobile terminal described above can be applied to not only the configuration and method of the embodiments described above but also all or some of the embodiments may be selectively combined so that various modifications may be made to the embodiments It is possible.
