Watch-type mobile terminal and method for controlling the same
First Claim
1. A watch-type mobile terminal, comprising:
- a body;
a band structured to be worn on a wrist of a user;
a display positioned on a front side of the body;
a communication unit configured to communicate with a paired external electronic device; and
a controller configured to;
cause the display to display a call waiting screen when an incoming call from a calling terminal is received at the external electronic device;
control an agent to provide a response to the calling terminal for the received call in an automatic answering mode in response to an input received via the call waiting screen;
terminate the automatic answering mode when the received call is connected to the calling terminal in response to an operation of the external electronic device; and
transmit to the external electronic device a signal which controls output power of an output unit located in the external electronic device to a maximum when the automatic answering mode is maintained for a first threshold period of time, wherein the output unit includes at least one of a speaker or a vibration unit.

Abstract
The present invention is related to a watch-type mobile terminal and a method for controlling the watch-type mobile terminal. In case a call is received, the present invention can respond to an incoming call in an automatic answering mode due to an agent through a watch-type mobile terminal worn by the user on his/her wrist. In case the user searches for a paired external electronic device and attempts call conversation, the automatic answering mode due to an agent can be terminated. Accordingly, in case the user is unable to promptly respond to a received call through the paired external electronic device, the received call can be efficiently controlled through the watch-type mobile terminal.

14. A method for controlling a watch-type mobile terminal having a display, the method comprising:
-
detecting an external electronic device paired with the watch-type mobile terminal; displaying, on the display, a call waiting screen when an incoming call from a calling terminal is received at the external electronic device; controlling an agent to provide a response to the calling terminal for the received call in an automatic answering mode in response to an input received via the call waiting screen; terminating the automatic answering mode when the received call is connected to the calling terminal in response to an operation of the external electronic device; and transmitting to the external electronic device a signal which controls output power of an output unit located in the external electronic device to a maximum when the automatic answering mode is maintained for a first threshold period of time, wherein the output unit includes at least one of a speaker or a vibration unit. - View Dependent Claims (15)
