Disclosed herein is a mobile terminal capable of indicating the position of a force sensor arranged inside a side case using the shape of a non-conductive mold disposed between conductive members to sense pressure. For the mobile terminal, a user input unit and an antenna may be arranged to overlap each other, and a bump and a recess may be formed using a non-conductive mold that is easy to process. Accordingly, uniformity of appearance may be maintained without forming a bump and a recess on the conductive member.

Mobile terminal

Disclosed herein is a display device including a display unit, a cover glass protecting the display unit, an optical layer disposed on a back surface of the display unit to form a first air gap, an optical sensor disposed on a back surface of the optical layer to form a second air gap, the optical sensor being mounted on the base substrate, a first spacer positioned between the optical layer and the display unit and arranged around the first air gap, a first sealant applied in a paste state and changed into a hard state to bond the first spacer and the display unit, a second spacer positioned between the optical sensor and the optical layer and arranged around the second air gap, and a controller configured to determine whether information collected by the optical sensor matches the fingerprint information about the user stored in a memory unit.

Display device including first and second spacers

The present disclosure relates to a mobile terminal including a temperature sensor and a control method thereof. A mobile terminal according to the present disclosure may include a main body, a first sensor disposed on the main body and configured to sense a temperature of an object located in the vicinity of the main body, a second sensor disposed on the main body and configured to acquire an image of the object, the second sensor having either one of an active state and an inactive state in a locked state, and a controller configured to operate the first sensor in an active mode to sense the temperature of the object in the locked state in which the second sensor is operated in an inactive state.

Mobile terminal and method for controlling the same

A mobile terminal and an operation method thereof are disclosed. A mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a display; a front window disposed at a front of the mobile terminal; an inner frame formed with a hole configured to allow light to pass through from the front window; and a dust sensor comprising a light emitting portion and a light receiving portion, wherein the light emitting portion is disposed adjacent to the inner frame and configured to emit light through the hole, and wherein the light receiving portion is configured to generate a signal based on light sensed through the hole that is emitted by the light emitting portion and scattered by dust particles.

Mobile terminal comprising a dust sensor for sensing scattered light by dust particles and operation method of the same

Disclosed is a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal may include a front camera obtaining a 2D face image of a user, a glance sensor tilted by a certain angle and disposed adjacent to the front camera to obtain metadata of the 2D face image, and a controller obtaining a distance between the glance sensor and the front camera, the distance enabling an area of an overlap region, where a first region representing a range photographable by the front camera overlaps a second region representing a range photographable by the glance sensor, to be the maximum.

Mobile terminal providing face recognition using glance sensor

Disclosed are a mobile terminal and a method for controlling the same. The mobile terminal includes: a terminal body; a camera; a sensor configured to sense a raising gesture of the terminal body; and a controller configured to: activate the camera in response to the raising gesture; detect a face within an image received via the camera; and release a locked state of the mobile terminal based on a face recognition of the detected face.

Mobile terminal releasing a locked state and method for controlling the same

A mobile terminal includes: a terminal body provided with a case having at least one hole; a gas sensor module disposed near the case, and configured to sense specific gas by air introduced through the hole; and a controller configured to set a type of gas to be sensed based on an activated specific function, and to control the gas sensor module to sense the gas.

A mobile terminal a gas sensor module disposed close to the case, and configured to sense includes: a terminal body provided with a case having one or more holes; and specific gas as air is introduced into the terminal body through the hole, wherein the gas sensor module includes: a gas sensor configured to sense the specific gas; and an accommodation cap having an accommodation unit where the gas sensor is disposed, having a gas hole communicated with the hole, and having its inner surface facing the gas hole formed as an inclined surface such that the introduced air reaches the gas sensor.

A mobile terminal and controlling method thereof are provided, which facilitates a terminal to be used in further consideration of user's convenience. Provided is a method of controlling an operation of a specific mobile terminal by forming a wireless communication group through a short range communication and then synthesizing analyses of motion patterns detected through mobile terminals belonging to the wireless communication group. Accordingly, in performing a function through a motion of each of a plurality of mobile terminals belonging to a single wireless communication group, a function is more accurately activated and accessibility to the function activation is improved, thereby enhancing user's convenience.

Mobile terminal and controlling method thereof

A mobile terminal and a method for operating the mobile terminal are provided. The method senses touch of the mobile terminal in a predetermined mode and senses movement of the mobile terminal upon determining that the mobile terminal has been gripped based on the touch and then changes the mode of the mobile terminal according to the predetermined mode and the movement of the mobile terminal. This method enhances user convenience since it is possible to change the mode of the mobile terminal through movement of the mobile terminal while the mobile terminal is gripped.
