Method for changing and rotating a mobile terminal standby screen
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal capable of changing a standby screen, comprising:
- a memory for storing a plurality of images in a predetermined order, said images being associated with the standby screen of said mobile terminal;
a display unit for displaying a standby screen image;
a pressure sensor having a predetermined number of pressure sensing areas on the surface of the display unit to detect pressure applied thereto and to generate corresponding pressure sensing signals; and
a control unit for receiving the pressure sensing signals, determining a standby screen image changing direction according to the received signals, loading one of the plurality of images stored in the memory in the determined direction, and displaying the loaded image.

Abstract
Disclosed is a mobile terminal having a pressure sensor with a plurality of pressure sensing areas that are used to change or rotate a standby screen image. The pressure sensor detects pressure applied by the user to the pressure sensing areas and outputs corresponding pressure sensing signals. The mobile terminal determines the direction of change or rotation of the standby screen image according to the pressure sensing signals. Upon determining the standby screen image changing direction, the mobile terminal loads and displays one of a plurality of images stored in a memory in the determined direction. Upon determining the direction of rotation of the standby screen image, the mobile terminal rotates the current standby screen image in the determined direction.
