Disclosed are a mobile terminal and a method for controlling the same. The mobile terminal includes: a terminal body; a camera; a sensor configured to sense a raising gesture of the terminal body; and a controller configured to: activate the camera in response to the raising gesture; detect a face within an image received via the camera; and release a locked state of the mobile terminal based on a face recognition of the detected face.

Mobile terminal releasing a locked state and method for controlling the same

Disclosed is a device for controlling a mobile terminal, including a touch sensor that detects a touch input with respect to a specific region of a touch screen, and a controller that determines whether the touch input continues to be received for reference time for which a state in which the mobile terminal is gripped by a user is recognized and that, when the touch input continues to be received for the reference time, blocks touch information corresponding to the touch input.

Device for controlling mobile terminal and method of controlling the mobile terminal

Disclosed are a mobile terminal capable of implementing an always-on function with a lower power, based on a motion, and a motion-based low power implementing method thereof. The method includes sensing a motion of a user by using an acceleration sensor in a low-power always-on that only the acceleration sensor is activated; a selectively activating an always-on function according to the sensed motion and deactivating the always-on function when no motion is sensed in an always-on state and automatically entering to the low-power always-on function.

Mobile terminal and motion-based low power implementing method thereof

Disclosed are a mobile terminal, and a method for controlling the same. The mobile terminal includes: a body; a camera provided at the body; a display unit configured to display a preview screen as the camera is driven; a sensing unit configured to sense a moved degree of the body as the camera is driven; and a controller configured to control the camera to execute a timer capturing, if a face region of a subject is detected from the displayed preview screen, and if the sensed moved degree of the body satisfies a preset capturing condition. The controller may execute an operation corresponding to the timer capturing, and may consecutively generate a next capturing command at a reference time interval while the moved degree of the body is within a reference range.

Mobile terminal for capturing an image and associated image capturing method

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal capable of predicting a future touch movement based on a previous touch movement, and applying the future touch movement onto a screen, and a touch coordinate predicting method thereof. Each touch coordinate with respect to a touch movement detected on an application screen is displayed. A change of previous touch coordinates is checked at a time point when a touch coordinate is displayed. A touch coordinate predictive value is calculated based on previous touch coordinates, and then the calculated touch coordinate predictive value is applied onto a current touch coordinate. Under such configuration, a response time, which occurs between a finger's movement and an actual character movement (or a drawing output) due to touch input lag, can be reduced.

Mobile terminal and touch coordinate predicting method thereof

According to one embodiment, a mobile terminal includes: a touchscreen configured to display a first menu and receive a plurality of touch inputs of a first pattern via the first menu and to display a second menu and receive a plurality of touch inputs of a second pattern via the second menu; and a controller configured to: calculate a first moving distance of a pointer for each of the received touch inputs of the first pattern; determine a minimum among the plurality of calculated first moving distances; calculate a second moving distance of the pointer for each of the received touch inputs of the second pattern; determine a maximum among the plurality of calculated second moving distances; and determine a threshold moving distance of the pointer for discriminating the touch input of the first pattern from the touch input of the second pattern by using the minimum and the maximum.
