To this end, the mobile terminal can comprise a display unit for outputting information, and a control unit for controlling the outputting, through the display unit, of information corresponding to a time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand, if a first touch input for outputting the hour hand the minute hand through the display unit is received or if a second touch input for dragging any one of the hour hand and the minute hand outputted through the display unit is received.

Terminal and method for controlling the same

Disclosed are a terminal and controlling method thereof. The present invention includes displaying a content, obtaining an input to at least one partial region of the displayed content, and outputting a video having the at least one partial region of the content move therein in a manner corresponding to the obtained input.

Mobile terminal having a screen with a circular form and method for controlling the same

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal and a method of controlling therefor. The mobile terminal includes a touch screen configured to display information on a screen of a circle form and a controller configured to control two or more touch keys to which at least one or more characters different from each other are respectively assigned to be arranged along with a border of the screen and when a first touch input is received on at least one or more keys among the touch keys, the controller configured to control an operation relevant to the at least one or more characters assigned to the at least one or more keys. A user can easily input a character and watch a currently used screen at a glance at the same time in a manner of displaying each of the touch keys of a keypad along with the border of the touch screen of the circle form in a size capable of being easily touched by the user.

Mobile terminal and method for controlling same

The present invention relates to a wrist-wearable mobile terminal and a method for controlling the same. A mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a band configured to be worn around a user's wrist; a first body connected to the band; a second body formed to be attachable to or detachable from the first body; and a control unit for outputting information relating to an external device to different devices when the first body and the second body are separated from each other and when the same are coupled to each other, respectively.
