Abstract

The present invention provides a mobile terminal and a control method using an intuitive gesture as an input to perform a function. Specifically, the present invention provides a mobile terminal including a sensing unit for sensing movement of the mobile terminal, a wireless communication unit for transmitting/receiving a radio signal to/from an external terminal and a control unit for sensing a distance from the mobile terminal to the external terminal based on the strength of the received radio signal, and performing a specific function when the sensed movement corresponds to specific movement and the sensed distance is within a specific range.
