A mobile communication terminal including a wireless communication unit configured to receive a call; a touch screen display configured to display indication information that the call is being received and to display a first soft touch item and a second soft touch item on the touch screen display when the call is being received; and a control unit configured to connect the call being received if the first soft touch item is selected, and to control the touch screen display to continue to display the indication information indicating that the call is being received if the second soft touch item is selected.

Mobile communication terminal and method of connecting call thereof

A mobile communication terminal and method of connecting a call thereof are discussed. The mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment includes a wireless communication unit configured to receive a call, a display unit configured to display that the call is received and to output an image for selecting either a first item or a second item, if the call is received by the wireless communication unit, an input unit having a key for selecting either the first or second item, and a control unit configured to connect the received call if the first item is selected and to control the display unit to output an image for displaying that the call is received if the second is selected, when the upper body is closed against the lower body. Accordingly, a call is connected or a message is transceived even if the terminal is in the closed status.

A mobile communication terminal having a roll-key and method of processing an input signal using the same are disclosed, by which a hot-key function can be performed using a rotational input device in a standby screen mode. The present invention includes a roll-key outputting a signal according to a rotational action of a roller projected from a prescribed portion of a front side of the terminal in part, a control unit outputting a control signal to execute a hot-key operation corresponding to a recognized action of the roll-key, and a display unit outputting an image to implement a corresponding operation according to a signal provided by the control unit.
