The present specification provides a mobile terminal in which a display unit can expand, and a control method therefor. In the mobile terminal of the present invention, when an input signal detected by a sensing unit is equal to or larger than a threshold value, an operation that expands or contracts the display unit according to a touch drag direction is performed, thus allowing a user to intuitively control the mobile terminal. Further, there is an advantage in that the mobile terminal can be prevented from being dislodged from the user's hand while the display unit is in the process of expanding.

Mobile terminal and method for controlling the same

The objective of the present invention is to provide a mobile terminal in which a layout of execution screens of two or more applications displayed together can be automatically changed to be suited for a user's viewing. According to an aspect of the present invention, provided is a mobile terminal comprising: a body; a display coupled to the body such that a display area viewed from the front of the body can be changed according to the switching between an extension display mode and a contraction display mode; and a control unit for controlling such that a layout for two or more application execution screens displayed together on the display is changed in response to the switching from the extension display mode to the contraction display mode.

Mobile terminal

A mobile terminal comprises: a body; a first display which is located on one surface of the body, detects a touch input, and outputs a screen; a second display which is located on the other surface of the body, detects a touch input, and outputs a screen; a gyro sensor for detecting movement of the body; and a control unit for controlling the first display and the second display on the basis of the touch input, wherein the control unit outputs a first screen on the first display, when detecting a first touch input on the first display, removes the first screen from the first display, and, when the gyro sensor detects that the locations of the one surface and the other surface of the body are reversed, outputs the first screen on the second display, wherein the mobile terminal may easily implement multitasking by using displays located on both surfaces thereof.

Mobile terminal including flexible display unit having first and second display

The present disclosure provides a mobile terminal capable of expanding a display unit, and a control method therefor. When an event occurs, the mobile terminal of the present disclosure provides a user with convenience by enabling the user to select whether to expand the display unit upon execution of the event. Specifically, the event can be the execution of a specific application or the reception of a notification related to a call or a message.

Mobile terminal and control method therefor

The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a mobile terminal allowing a user to conveniently determine execution screens of at least two applications to be displayed in a multitasking manner and layouts therefor; and a method for controlling same. Provided according to an aspect of the present invention is a mobile terminal comprising: a body; a display coupled to the body such that a display region viewed from the front of the body can vary depending on switching between an extended display mode and a retracted display mode; and a control unit for performing control such that, in response to switching from the retracted display mode to the extended display mode, multiple layout indicators for multiple application execution screens are displayed or multiple application icons are displayed.

Mobile terminal having a display that enlargers a front display region in response to being switched to an extended display mode

The present specification provides a mobile terminal, which can simultaneously enable unlocking and display expansion, and a control method therefor. A mobile terminal of the present invention comprises a flexible display unit which can expand in size. If a knock code via a user's touch input on the display unit matches a preconfigured pattern, a display positioned on the front side can expand in size as the mobile terminal unlocks.

Display screen with transitional graphical user interface

A mobile terminal can include a body having a variable size; a flexible display including a first display located on a front face of the body and a second display located on a rear face of the body; a driving unit configured to change both the variable size of the body and a size of the first display; a sensing unit configured to sense an input signal; and a controller configured to in response to the input signal having a value equal to or greater than a threshold value, control the driving unit to change both the variable size of the body and the size of the first display, in which a total area of the first display and the second display remains constant, and a size of the second display is correspondingly reduced as the size of the first display increases.

The present invention relates to a terminal and a method of operating the terminal. The terminal can execute at least one task. The terminal can execute at least one task, can cause the display to display a soft key and information related to the executed at least one task at a first region of the display and can cause the display to display at least one function indicator related to the information at a second region of the display.

Terminal with a display including a main display region and a purality of sub display regions and method for controlling the same

A terminal includes: a display configured to display a screen including a first region and a second region; and a controller configured to: execute at least one task; cause the display to display a soft key and an image corresponding to an execution screen of the executed at least one task on the first region, the image corresponding to the execution screen displayed as a background image; and cause the display to display at least one selectable function indicator for controlling an operation of the executed at least one task on the second region, wherein the soft key and the image corresponding to the execution screen are fixedly displayed on the first region while the at least one task is executed and while another image not related to the at least one task is displayed on a remaining region of the screen excluding the first and second regions.

Terminal providing information on a currently executed task and method for controlling the same

A mobile terminal including a wireless communication processor configured to provide wireless communication; a display; and a controller configured to display a third task screen corresponding to an application on the display, wherein at least a second task screen and a first task screen are previously displayed on the display, in response to a touch input applied to a back key on the mobile terminal that is equal to or lower than a reference pressure while the third task screen is displayed, display the second task screen on the display, and in response to the touch input applied to the back key on the mobile terminal that exceeds the reference pressure while the third task screen is displayed, jump from the third task screen to the previously displayed first task screen such that the first task screen is displayed on the display.

A watch type mobile terminal configured to be wearable on a wrist and a control method thereof are provided. The watch type mobile terminal includes a display unit configured to display screen information, a terminal body configured to allow the display unit to be installed therein and disposed on the wrist, a sensing unit configured to sense a position in which the mobile terminal is worn, and a controller configured to allocate a particular region of the display unit, as a control region for receiving a control command based on the sensing result, and process a user's touch input applied to the control region, as a control command for controlling an operation of the mobile terminal.

Watch type mobile terminal and method for controlling the same

Disclosed are a mobile terminal and a method of controlling the same. The mobile terminal according to the present invention includes a Near Field Communication (NFC) module and a controller configured to set up a first communication link with at least one first terminal, placed within a specific distance, by using the NFC module, activate a first operation mode based on data obtained through the first communication link, and execute at least one function included in the activated first operation mode. In accordance with the present invention, the mobile terminal can be easily set so that it is operated in a specific operation mode based on data obtained through a communication link using the NFC module.
