Abstract
The present invention relates to a mobile terminal, including a main body, a communication unit mounted in the main body to perform communication with an external device, a proximity sensor to detect a part of a user's body adjacent to the main body when the communication is performed through the communication unit, a signal processing unit to generate primary detection information, indicating the detection result of the part of the user's body adjacent to the main body, based on sensing data received from the proximity sensor, and a processor to transmit a request signal to the signal processing unit to request for secondary detection information, indicating the detection result of the part of the user's body adjacent to the main body, in response to a reception of the primary detection information from the signal processing unit, and to determine whether or not the part of the user's body adjacent to the main body exists, through comparison between the primary detection information and the secondary detection information when the secondary detection information is received through the signal processing unit.
