Abstract

The present invention discloses a device for controlling display of mobile terminal and the method thereof. The device includes: a mobile terminal for receiving, calculating and displaying information; the mobile terminal being configured with an information reading apparatus for reading information on an information carrier; a character storage for storing characters of different types and representing forms; a calculating apparatus for matching the read information with stored information in the character storage, and for generating correspondent character representing information and location information; a displaying apparatus for displaying graphic and text information. This invention can display the contents in the originality of advertisements at once by identifying a barcode with the mobile terminal. The advertisements can be displayed more rapidly and be represented finer, so that users are more attracted to take actions such as reading more advertisements from the network, logging in to take part in activities, placing orders and so on.
