1. A mobile terminal comprising:
- a camera module for receiving a motion pattern of a user;
a memory for storing a motion pattern for a locking function; and
a controller for, if a particular locked function is selected, enabling the camera module, comparing a motion pattern input through the camera module with a motion pattern stored in the memory, and determining whether to unlock the locked function according to the comparison result.

Abstract
A mobile terminal authenticates a user using a camera module included therein. If a particular locked function is selected by a user, a controller enables the camera module and receives a motion pattern from the user through the camera module. The controller compares the motion pattern received through the camera module with a motion pattern previously stored in a memory. and the controller unlocks the locked function and enables the corresponding function if the motion patterns are identical to each other.
