A mobile terminal and a method for controlling the mobile terminal are disclosed. A mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, together with an external device separated therefrom, may measure body composition by using human body medium communication. The mobile terminal and the external device have two electrodes that contact areas of a user's body. The mobile terminal outputs a test signal through a first body area contacting a first electrode, and transmits the test signal to the external device through the user's body. The external device generates a feedback signal corresponding to the test signal. The mobile terminal detects a second signal which is the feedback signal that passes through the body and is transmitted through a second electrode. The mobile terminal uses the difference between a reference signal corresponding to the test signal and the second signal to calculate the body composition of the user.

Mobile terminal and method of controlling same

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal capable of performing communication with a vehicle, and a method for controlling the same. A mobile terminal according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a terminal body, an antenna provided in the body, and a socket formed such that a vehicle key module is insertable, wherein the socket is located between the antenna and a printed circuit board (PCB) provided in the terminal body, such that the inserted vehicle key module is electrically connected directly to the antenna without passing through the printed circuit board.

Mobile terminal and method for controlling the same

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal and a method for controlling the same. The present invention determines whether received touch input is touch input by a finger of a user and, when a function executed by the touch input requires authentication, provides a user interface necessary for authentication differently according to whether the touch input is touch input by the user's finger. Accordingly, fingerprint authentication is processed as necessary, thereby improving processor efficiency.

A mobile terminal may be provided that includes a squeeze sensor disposed at a lateral surface of a housing to sense a pressure greater than a predetermined value being applied thereto; and a controller configured to change the location of an object displayed on a display based on a pressure applied position when the sensed pressure is greater than a predetermined value.
