Mobile terminal and control method thereof
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a display unit configured to have a first area and a second area, the first area to display a keypad and to receive a touch input at the keypad, the second area to display a character that is input based on the touch input at the displayed keypad, and the second area to display a first cursor to identify a position of the second area at which the character is to be displayed; and
a controller configured to display a second cursor at the second area, and to selectively activate one of the first cursor and the second cursor when an editing mode is executed while the first cursor is displayed,wherein the editing mode is a state in which the first cursor and the second cursor are displayed at a same time, wherein the character that is input based on the displayed keypad is input at a position of the activated one of the first cursor and the second cursor,in response to inputting of at least one character when the first cursor is the activated one of the first cursor and the second cursor, the first cursor moves to a position at which a new character is to be input, and the second cursor is configured to start moving when a predetermined time elapses after the first cursor moves and to move along a path of the moving first cursor until the position at which the first cursor is displayed,wherein the displayed second cursor to move at a first speed when a typographic error is at the position where the second cursor is displayed, and the displayed second cursor to move at a second speed when a typographic error is not provided, wherein the first speed is slower than the second speed,in response to the inputting of at least one character being stopped, the first cursor stops moving and the second cursor continuously moves along the path of the moving first cursor until the position at which the first cursor is displayed, andwherein when the second cursor is activated, movement of the second cursor and the first cursor is stopped.

Abstract
Disclosed are a mobile terminal and a control method thereof, which has a display unit for displaying a virtual keypad and texts input by the virtual keypad. The mobile terminal includes a display unit and a controller. The display unit has a first area in which a virtual keypad is displayed and a second area in which a character input by a touch applied to the virtual keypad is displayed, and displays a first cursor for guiding a position at which a character is to be input. When an editing mode is executed in the state in which the first cursor is displayed, the controller displays, in the second area, a second cursor different from the first cursor, and selectively activates any one of the first and second cursors.
