Mobile terminal and control method thereof

Abstract

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a mobile terminal includes a touch screen configured to display a user interface of a multi-layered structure, the user interface including at least one layer stack having a plurality of layers, a command input unit configured to receive a command from a user, and a controller configured to display a first layer of a first plurality of layers in the first layer stack on a first zone of the touch screen, display the first plurality of layers in a spread mode in response to a first command to enter the spread mode, and in the spread mode, change a location of the first layer on the touch screen to a second zone of the touch screen and display the first plurality layers of the first layer stack except for the first layer on a third zone of the touch screen.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A mobile terminal comprising:
 a touch screen configured to display a user interface of a multi-layered structure, the user interface including at least one layer stack having a plurality of layers, wherein the at least one layer stack includes a first layer stack;   a command input unit configured to receive a command from a user; and   a controller configured to display a first layer of a first plurality of layers in the first layer stack on a first zone of the touch screen, to display the first plurality of layers in a spread mode in response to a first command to enter the spread mode received through the command input unit, to change a location of the first layer on the touch screen in the spread mode to a second zone of the touch screen and to display the first plurality layers of the first layer stack except for the first layer on a third zone of the touch screen,   wherein the third zone is generated in response to the changed location of the first layer,   the first plurality of layers including the first layer are spaced apart from each other at a spacing interval corresponding to the first command, and   the first plurality of layers are arranged on a virtual stereoscopic space with predetermined three-dimensional (3D) depths in a stacked form.
