Disclosed are a method for providing a user interface by mapping various types of multimedia to patterns drawn on a display, and a mobile terminal thereof. A user may draw a pattern according to his or her preference, and a controller may generate an object by mapping one or more multimedia data to the pattern. The controller may play the mapped multimedia data by tracking the multimedia data-mapped pattern. The controller may store the multimedia data-mapped pattern (object) in a memory. And, the controller may transmit the object to a selected specific party to provide an enhanced user interface (UI).

Method for providing user interface using drawn pattern and mobile terminal thereof

A mobile terminal and a method for controlling the same are provided. The mobile terminal may include a touchscreen that displays at least one content item on a screen and that receives an area touch motion corresponding to a particular area of the screen, and a controller that analyzes the area touch motion and controls a specific content item and content control operation corresponding to the received area touch motion accordingly. Control of such a mobile terminal may include displaying an execution screen of an application, receiving an area touch motion corresponding to one area of the execution screen, analyzing the area touch motion, and controlling an application corresponding to the received area touch motion accordingly.

Mobile terminal and method for controlling the same

A mobile terminal is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the mobile terminal includes: a housing including a front side, a rear side and a plurality of lateral sides; a touchscreen located on the front side of the housing, configured to display at least one touch-executable object, and including a predefined edge region; and a controller.
