A mobile terminal and controlling method thereof are disclosed, which facilitates a terminal to be used in further consideration of user's convenience. The present invention includes a display, a memory configured to store at least one image fragment, a 1camera, and a controller, if the 1camera is activated, displaying a preview screen of an image received from the 1camera, the controller controlling the display to display a prescribed one of the stored at least one image fragment on a prescribed region of the preview screen. Accordingly, when a photo is taken using a terminal, a photo-taker can be included in the taken photo in a manner of being synthesized with the corresponding photo.

Mobile terminal and controlling method thereof

Disclosed herein is a mobile terminal and an operation control method thereof in which the status of a wireless communication unit is controlled based on a user's usage pattern for the wireless communication unit in the mobile terminal, thereby reducing the consumption of a battery caused by the abuse of the wireless communication unit in the mobile terminal and allowing the user to conveniently connect to an external device. In order to accomplish the foregoing object, the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a wireless communication unit; a storage unit configured to store a usage pattern of the wireless communication unit; and a controller configured to provide an interface of changing or capable of changing the wireless communication unit to an active or inactive state based on the usage pattern, wherein the usage pattern is changed based on time or location information.

Mobile terminal and operation control method thereof

Discussed is a mobile terminal, including a touch screen configured to display visual information, a camera unit configured to detect user's gaze information and a controller configured to execute an application in response to a user input, wherein an execution screen of the application is displayed on the touch screen, detect the user's gaze information, and stop displaying the execution screen of the application based on an elapsed time from when the user's gaze information is not detected, wherein the elapsed time is varied based on a type of the application.

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal capable of providing a phone number of an anticipated call origination counterpart along with associated supplementary information according to a user's communication pattern, time information at which the mobile terminal is in use, or location information of the mobile terminal, thereby guaranteeing a rapid and convenient accessibility with respect to the call origination counterpart, and a method for recommending a call origination counterpart. In order to achieve the above object, there is provided a method for recommending a call origination counterpart of a mobile terminal, including: generating a communication pattern based on a counterpart's phone number and information related to a time or a location; acquiring supplementary information associated with the phone number; selecting a phone number corresponding to a current time or a current location based on the communication pattern; and displaying the selected phone number or the supplementary information associated with the selected phone number.

Mobile terminal and method for recommending call counterpart

Discussed are a mobile terminal and an operation control method thereof in which a delay time of the screen lock execution is controlled according to the user's gaze information. The mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include an input unit configured to receive a user input; an execution controller configured to execute screen lock if the user input is not received for a predetermined time T; and a change controller configured to change the predetermined time Tbased on the user's gaze information.

A mobile terminal and an operation control method thereof in which a delay time of the screen lock execution is controlled according to the type of application, are discussed. The mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include an input unit configured to receive a user input; an execution controller configured to execute screen lock if the user input is not received for a first delay time; and a change controller configured to extend the first delay time to a second delay time based on the user's gaze information.

A terminal includes: a camera configured to capture an image using a lens; a memory configured to store the image captured by the camera and identification information corresponding to the captured image; a controller configured to provide control to generate schedule information based on the identification information and to store the generated schedule information in a scheduler; and a display unit configured to display the generated schedule information or the scheduler under the control of the controller.

Method and apparatus for inputting schedule in mobile communication terminal

A mobile terminal and a method for configuring a screen of the mobile terminal are discussed. According to an embodiment, the method includes collecting status information and usage information of the mobile terminal while menus displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal are used, forming a menu usage pattern based on at least one of the status information and the usage information, and selectively changing, based on at least the menu usage pattern, at least one display configuration of menus to be displayed on the screen when the screen is idle.

Mobile terminal and method for configuring idle screen thereof

Disclosed herein is a mobile terminal and an operation control method thereof in which a delay time of the screen lock execution is controlled according to the type of application, thereby improving the inconvenience of a user interface and effectively managing a battery according to an interrupt when required to continuously receive an input from the user or continuously provide visual information to the user. For this purpose, a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include an input unit configured to receive a user input; an execution controller configured to execute screen lock if the user input is not received for a predetermined time; and a change controller configured to change the predetermined time based on a type of application.
