Abstract
A mobile terminal according to the present invention comprises a motion sensor sensing a motion of the user while maintaining an activation state even when the main processor is in a sleep state; a grip sensor being deactivated in case the main processor is in the sleep state and sensing the user's grip; and a sub-processor, where the sub-processor, in case a predetermined motion of the user is detected while the main processor is in the sleep state, determines the user's grip by activating the grip sensor and wakes up the main processor in the event of sensing the user's grip but keeps the main processor in the sleep state otherwise.
