A mobile terminal for performing backup and restoration of data according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a wireless communication unit configured to connect to another mobile terminal, a display unit, a memory configured to store a backup application for performing the backup and restoration of the data, and a controller configured to make a request to perform near field communication (NFC) tagging with the other mobile terminal in order to receive a backup file including the data from the other mobile terminal, configured to connect to the other mobile terminal through the wireless communication unit on the basis of the NFC tagging, and configured to restore the data included in the backup data received from the other mobile terminal.

Mobile terminal and data backup and restoration method thereof

A mobile terminal provides a guide and feedback for a lock release operation to implement a gesture for a lock release operation at an arbitrary location and in various directions. A method of releasing a user interface lock state in a mobile terminal having a touch sensing display according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include setting the mobile terminal to a user interface lock state; detecting a contact with the touch sensing display at an arbitrary location on the touch sensing display; displaying a lock release region corresponding to the arbitrary location while maintaining a contact with the touch sensing display; displaying the movement of the contact in the lock release region; and switching the mobile terminal into a user interface lock release state when the movement of the contact in the lock release region satisfies a predetermined condition.

Mobile terminal and operation control method thereof

A mobile terminal including a touchscreen; a wireless communication unit; a memory configured to store a specific application; and a controller configured to display a first object related to the specific application, the first object having a first size, in which the specific application can be executed in response to a first touch gesture on the first object, in response to a second touch gesture with respect to the displayed first object, display an object indicator indicating that the first object can be changed into a second object related to the specific application, the second object having a second size, and in response to a third touch gesture with respect to the object indicator, change the displayed first object into the second object such that the first object is visually transformed into the second object.

Mobile terminal and controlling method thereof

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a mobile terminal includes a touchscreen configured to display a list including a plurality of categories and at least one content grouped for each of the plurality of categories, and a controller, if a command for a reduced display of the list is received, configured to generate summary information for each of the plurality of categories based on information of the grouped at least one content, to hide the grouped at least one content from the list, and then to control the touchscreen to display the plurality of categories and the generated summary information corresponding to the plurality of categories.

A mobile terminal including a wireless communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one other terminal; a touchscreen configured to display a home screen; and a controller configured to display a plurality of objects dispersed on the home screen, receive a specific touch gesture performed on the touchscreen, and arrange and display the dispersed objects on the home screen in which the dispersed objects are moved closer to each other based on a prescribed direction of the specific touch gesture.

A mobile terminal including a wireless communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one other terminal; a display unit including a touchscreen; a memory configured to store a specific application, an application icon for executing the specific application, and a first widget application displaying a partial executed function of the specific application; and a controller configured to when receiving a first touch gesture on the application icon, execute the specific application, and when receiving a second touch gesture on the application icon that is different than the first touch gesture, control the display unit to display the first widget application on the touchscreen.

A mobile terminal includes at least a display unit, a sensing unit, and a controller. The display unit includes a touch screen and displays at least two three-dimensional (3D) menu icons and each of the at least two 3D menu icons includes at least one menu. The display unit further displays a first menu on a first display surface of each of the at least two 3D menu icons, the first menu on each of the at least two 3D menu icons being different. The sensing unit detects an input for controlling at least one of the at least two 3D menu icons. The controller controls the display unit to display a second menu on a second display surface of each of the at least two 3D menu icons in response to the detected input. Each of the at least two 3D menu icons displayed on the display unit includes at least two display surfaces, each of the at least two display surfaces displaying a different menu.
