Provided is a mobile terminal including a plurality of cameras to minimize an occurrence of occlusion, wherein the first lens part, the second lens part, and the ToF lens part are provided on one surface of the body to be exposed outside, the first holder, the second holder, and the ToF holder each have a rectangular transverse-section, and the first holder, the second holder, and the ToF holder are arranged such that the ToF lens part is located between the first lens part and the second lens part.

Mobile terminal

A mobile terminal in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure include: a flicker sensor configured to recognize a surrounding environment of the mobile terminal; a time of flight (ToF) sensor configured to measure a depth of a subject and a camera configured to capture the subject to generate an image of the subject; and a controller configured to control the camera to recognize the surrounding environment by operating the flicker sensor in response to a user input for operating the camera, to determine a light output time of the ToF sensor in response to the surrounding environment, and to capture the subject while measuring the depth of the subject by operating the ToF sensor in an operation mode corresponding to the light output time. Other embodiments are also available.

Mobile terminal and method for controlling the same

A mobile terminal including a touch screen configured to switch between an inactivated state in which illumination is not applied to the touch screen and an activated state in which illumination is applied to the touch screen, and a controller configured to release a locked state of the mobile terminal and switch the touch screen to the activated state, when a plurality of touch inputs is input in the inactivated state and the plurality of touch inputs matches a predefined pattern. Further, the predetermined pattern is initially set using a quadrant image displayed on the touch screen in the activated state, touch inputs for setting the predetermined pattern are applied to at least one of quadrant I, II, III and IV included in the quadrant image displayed on the touch screen in the activated state of the touch screen, a first touch input included in the plurality of touch inputs in the inactivated state is applied to the touch screen, and quadrant areas on the touch screen for receiving the plurality of touch inputs in the inactivated state change based on a first touch position of the first touch input and a second touch position of a second touch input of the plurality of touch inputs in the inactivated state.

Mobile terminal and control method thereof

A vehicle includes a sensing unit for sensing an authentication input of a user, the sensing unit including a sensor configured to sense one or more taps that are applied by the user to arbitrary positions within a preset region of the vehicle as the authentication input. The vehicle control apparatus also includes a control apparatus that includes a memory configured to store an authentication information and a controller configured to determine whether the authentication input matches the stored authentication information. The controller is also configured to control the vehicle according to the stored authentication information when the authentication input matches the stored authentication information.

Vehicle control apparatus and method thereof

A mobile terminal including a wireless communication unit configured to perform wireless communication; a touch screen display unit configured to switch between an inactivated state in which illumination is not applied to the display unit and an activated state in which illumination is applied to the display unit; and a controller configured to: sense a plurality of touch inputs on the display unit when the display unit is in the deactivated state and no illumination is applied to the display unit, and release a locked state of the mobile terminal and switch the display unit to the activated state in which illumination is applied to the display unit, when the plurality of touch inputs match a predetermined pattern.
