The purpose of the present invention is to provide a mobile terminal and a control method therefor, the mobile terminal enabling a user to conveniently determine execution screens of two or more applications to be displayed in a multitasking manner and a layout for the screens. 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 extended display mode and a contracted display mode; and a control unit for making a control to display together recently used application information and display layout information for multitasking.

Mobile terminal and control method therefor

A mobile terminal and a control method therefor are disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a body, an input unit configured to receive user input, a display coupled to the body to vary a display region viewed from a front face of the body according to switching between an enlarged display mode and a reduced display mode, and a controller. The controller controls output of at least one application on the display in the enlarged display mode, and controls, upon receiving an event, output of an application corresponding to the event in a first region based on a signal for confirming the received event. The first region is an event application region when a preset application is being output in the enlarged display mode and is a main region of the enlarged display mode when the preset application is not being output in the enlarged display mode.

A mobile terminal and a control method therefor are disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a body, a communication unit configured to externally transmit and receive a signal, an input unit configured to receive user input, a display coupled to the body to vary a display region viewed from a front face of the body according to switching between an enlarged display mode and a reduced display mode, and a controller. The controller outputs a message pop-up window and a button corresponding to a notification upon receiving the notification while a first application is being output on the display, receives a first signal for selecting the button, outputs a preview pop-up window for a second application corresponding to the notification while the first signal is maintained, and outputs the second application in a first region when a dragged distance according to the first signal exceeds a first threshold value.

A mobile terminal and a control method therefor are disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a body, a display coupled to the body to vary a display region viewed from a front of the body according to switching between an enlarged display mode and a reduced display mode, an input unit configured to sense user input, and a controller. The controller controls switching of the display to the enlarged display mode according to first input.

A mobile terminal and a control method therefor are disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a body, an input unit configured to receive a user input, a display coupled to the body to vary a display region viewed from a front of the body according to switching between an enlarged display mode and a reduced display mode, and a controller. The controller controls the display to be extended by a first region upon receiving a first signal, and controls the display to activate a touch function of the first region after activating an output function of the first region, based on extension of the display by the first region.

A mobile terminal and a control method therefor are disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a body, an input unit configured to sense user input, a display coupled to the body to vary a display region viewed from a front of the body according to switching between an enlarged display mode and a reduced display mode, and a controller. The controller controls output of at least one application on the display in the enlarged display mode, controls output of an editing screen upon receiving a signal for switching to the reduced display mode, and controls switching to the reduced display mode based on a result of the editing screen.

Mobile terminal including a body including a first frame and a second frame and control method therefor

A mobile terminal and a control method therefor are disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a body, a display coupled to the body to vary a display region viewed from a front of the body according to switching between an enlarged display mode and a reduced display mode, an input unit configured to sense user input, and a controller. The controller outputs a navigation bar on the display in the enlarged display mode, the navigation bar including at least one indicator, and controls a first application among at least one application which is being output in the enlarged display mode according to an input signal of selecting the indicator.

A mobile terminal and a control method therefor are disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a body, an input unit configured to receive user input, a display coupled to the body to vary a display region viewed from a front face of the body according to switching between an enlarged display mode and a reduced display mode, and a controller. The controller receives a first signal in a state in which at least two applications are being executed in split regions of the display, controls output of an icon according to the first signal, controls selection of at least one region among the split regions based on a second signal for the icon, and controls a function of an application which is being executed in a selected region based on a third signal for the icon.

Provided is a control method of an electronic apparatus, the method including displaying content corresponding to a first application in a first area of a display, displaying content corresponding to a second application in a second area of the display, identifying resource allocation information associated with the first application and the second application, and running the first application and the second application based on the identified resource allocation information.

Electronic apparatus for running application and control method thereof

A mobile terminal including a battery; a wireless communication unit configured to provide wireless communication; a memory configured to store at least one user battery charging pattern previously used for charging the battery; and a controller configured to start a charging of the battery, estimate a battery charging stop time based on the stored user battery charging pattern, and control the charging speed of the battery to complete charging of the battery before the estimated battery charging stop time.
