Abstract

A method and apparatus arrange a user interface object on a screen in a portable terminal. The method includes storing and updating a usage history of programs designated by respective user interface objects during a pre-set time period according to at least one time-related criterion or place-related criterion, selecting a selected criterion from the at least one time-related criterion or place-related criterion, and determining an arrangement position of a user interface object corresponding to each program by referencing the usage history stored and updated with respect to the selected criterion, with the usage history including an amount of usage time and the number of manipulations of each program.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and a device for arranging user interface objects of a portable terminal. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods and apparatus for arranging user interface objects in consideration of personalization. Background technique [0002] With the development of the electronic communication industry in recent years, electronic devices, such as mobile communication terminals (or cellular phones), electronic management equipment, personal digital assistants (PDAs), etc., have become necessities of modern life. [0003] In the prior art, it is known that recently developed portable terminals employ a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to provide a user with a convenient input mechanism. For example, a portable terminal displays icons for executing built-in programs on a display screen. Sometimes users may have difficulty finding frequently used icons among multiple icons. Although a portable terminal t...
