Abstract
One or more embodiments provide a mobile terminal and a control method for setting a touch ignoring region on a touch screen of the mobile terminal. In the method, the mobile terminal detects a user's grip signal from at least one lateral side thereof. Then, based on the grip signal, the mobile terminal sets a touch ignoring region on the touch screen. In embodiments, the mobile terminal checks a gripped state thereof through a sensor and then sets the touch ignoring region. This not only prevents a wrong operation caused by an unintended touch due to a thin bezel of the mobile terminal, but also obviates any inconvenience.
