Abstract
A mobile terminal and a method of controlling the same are provided. The method includes receiving a touch input from a side area on a touch screen for more than a predefined amount of time; setting a touch-lock area on the touch screen based on an area of the detection of the touch input; and displaying the touch-lock area differently from the rest of the touch screen so as to be easily distinguishable. Therefore, it is possible to effectively set a touch-lock area on the touch screen and thus to prevent the mobile terminal from performing an operation against the will of a user.
