A mobile terminal and controlling method thereof are disclosed, which facilitates the use of a terminal in further consideration of user's convenience. The present invention includes a touchscreen configured to detect a direct touch and a proximity touch and a controller outputting at least one or more icons through the touchscreen, the controller detecting the proximity touch to a 1icon for running a prescribed application among the outputted at least one or more icons, the controller, if a duration time of the detected proximity touch reaches a 1time, outputting a 2icon by changing the outputted 1icon into the 2icon, the controller, if the direct touch to the 2icon is detected, running a prescribed function of the prescribed application. Accordingly, it is able to access various functions of the mobile terminal using a proximity touch.

Mobile terminal and controlling method thereof

There are disclosed a mobile terminal and a controlling method thereof, which is able to simply input a real-time external image to an input field as data, specifically, such that a user may input a character or picture captured from the real-time image inputted from the outside via the camera and that the real time image maybe captured without switching a screen displaying the input field, so as to allow a user to intuitively recognize which input field an object provided in the image is inputted to.

A mobile terminal including a wireless communication unit configured to provide wireless communication; a touchscreen; a memory; and a controller configured to display a clipboard including copied content on the touchscreen, receive a paste selection signal indicating a pasting of the copied content from the clipboard to another location on the touchscreen, determine a property of the other location of the touchscreen, and modify a type of the copied content to correspond to the determined property of the other location when the content is pasted to the other location.

A mobile terminal and a method of controlling therefore are disclosed. The mobile terminal according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a housing, a display, a sensing unit configured to sense whether a cover is opened on the display in a state that the cover where an opening part is formed to make at least a part of the display to be exposed is installed in the housing, and a controller. If closing of the cover is detected in the middle of executing the first application, the controller controls the display to change a display state of an execution screen of the first application to make the display state of the execution screen of the first application correspond to a position and a size of the opening part of the cover.

Mobile terminal and method for controlling the same

A mobile terminal and controlling method thereof are disclosed, by which various functions can be provided using a cover having an opening formed therein. The present invention includes a cover having an opening formed therein, a touchscreen, a sensing unit configured to detect whether the cover is open or closed, and a controller, if a memo mode is executed when detecting that the cover is in a closed state through the sensing unit, receiving an input of a memo applied with a pointer to an exposed region of the touchscreen exposed through the opening, the controller, if detecting that that the cover is open through the sensing unit, controlling the inputted memo to be displayed on the touchscreen.
