Embodiments relate to the field of terminals and disclose a camera switching method for a terminal, and the terminal. In those embodiments, when the terminal is installed with a plurality of cameras, automatic and dynamic switching between the cameras may be implemented based on a to-be-photographed object, thereby improving a photographing effect of the to-be-photographed object. In those embodiment, the terminal may display, in response to a first operation of enabling a photographing function by a user, a first photographing picture captured by a first camera, where the first photographing picture includes a to-be-photographed object. If the to-be-photographed object cannot be displayed completely in the first photographing picture, the terminal may switch from the first photographing picture to a second photographing picture captured by the second camera, and disabling the first camera, where an FOV of the second camera is larger than an FOV of the first camera.

A display apparatus includes a display area and a folding area; a display panel; a digitizer disposed below the display panel; a sagging prevention member disposed in a portion below the display panel overlapping the folding area; and a lower cover disposed below the sagging prevention member.

A method and an apparatus for controlling an operation of a mobile terminal are preferably includes: cancelling a touch screen off mode and checking a set mode mapped to a certain key when input of the certain key is sensed while the mobile terminal is in the touch screen off mode. A screen is then displayed for executing the set mode, and displaying and processing of a signal input through a touch screen is performed. The method and apparatus provide an advantage by reducing procedures required by conventional devices in which a user process to execute a desired mode in a mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is in a touch screen off mode. By registering a function to be executed by input of one touch button key while in a touch screen off mode according to user tastes, the present invention accelerates utilization of the mobile terminal.

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal including a lighting unit, and a control method therefor. The mobile terminal according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a lighting unit having a plurality of light sources; a sensor unit for receiving light outputted from the lighting unit and reflected off a subject; and a control unit for synchronizing, through the sensor unit, areas at which lights outputted from the plurality of light sources are emitted, and controlling, on the basis of preset conditions, the lighting unit so that at least one of the plurality of light sources emits light.

The present disclosure provides a method for exchanging information between electronic devices, and an electronic device. The method includes at a first electronic device: determining that a request for exchanging information from a second electronic device is valid, after receiving the request; acquiring an information area with respect to the request, and selecting area data corresponding to the information area; and after or at the same time of the selection of the area data, establishing a communication connection with the second electronic device, and transmitting the area data over the communication connection. After coming into contact with the second electronic device, the electronic device equipped with the touch screen, as the first electronic device, may establish and perform data transmission with the second electronic device. Compared with the conventional methods that require transmission via mobile communication or 3G communication, the present disclosure can reduce cost for the user of the electronic device, and provide more diversified services and higher transmission bandwidth.

A mobile terminal apparatus including an operation lock mode setting unit that sets an operation lock mode; an event container display control unit that displays, when a predetermined event occurs, an event container indicating the occurred predetermined event on a display unit; an event container display change control unit that sets an event container between an active state and an inactive state; a lock canceling operation unit that cancels the operation lock mode; and a canceling operation handling control unit that, when an active-state event container is displayed on the display unit and the operation lock mode is canceled, performs automatic activation and display of an application program corresponding to the event of the active-state event container, and when all event containers on the display unit are in the inactive state and the operation lock mode is canceled, displays a predetermined display screen on the display unit.

A mobile terminal apparatus comprises: a touch pad sensor that is arranged on a back surface of a housing, and detects a contact position when held by a user; and a holding pattern determining unit that determines a holding pattern having a highest similarity to a touch pad detection data detected by the touch pad sensor among a plurality of predetermined holding patterns to output the determined holding pattern. The mobile terminal apparatus controls an orientation of information displayed on a display screen of a display unit based on the holding pattern outputted by the holding pattern determining unit.

An electrostatic capacitive sensor includes a plurality of transmitter electrodes, a plurality of receiver electrodes, and a control circuit. Further, the control circuit includes: a transmitter circuit configured to apply a periodical transmission signal to each of the plurality of transmitter electrodes; and a receiver circuit configured to generate, based on a reception signal generated in each of the plurality of receiver electrodes in response to the transmission signal, a detection signal indicating a change in electrostatic capacitance formed at each of intersections of the plurality of transmitter electrodes and the plurality of receiver electrodes, wherein the transmitter circuit is configured to switch between a first mode where the transmission signal is sequentially applied to the plurality of transmitter electrodes and a second mode where the plurality of transmitter electrodes are grouped and the same transmission signal is applied to a plurality of transmitter electrodes belonging to the same group.

A terminal device that includes an operation surface; an input detection unit that detects an indicator and determines at least one of a position of the indicator contacting the operation surface and a distance of the indicator from the operation surface in a vertical direction; an operation determination unit that determines information about an operation input by movement information of the indicator detected by the input detection unit; and a control unit that performs predetermined control when a first operation which is an operation performed to move the indicator in a vertical direction away from the operation surface is detected by the operation determination unit.

In aspects of adaptive grip suppression, a wireless device has a display screen with curved display edges to display a user interface associated with a device application, the user interface including a selectable element to initiate a device application action. The wireless device implements an adaptive control module to adaptively manage grip suppression in the curved display edges of the display screen, which limits the device application action from being initiated based on inadvertent touch inputs on the selectable element. The adaptive control module can determine that the selectable element of the user interface is displayed within a region of a curved display edge of the display screen, and decrease the grip suppression in the region of the curved display edge proximate the selectable element of the user interface.
