Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- detecting a pressure event according to a pressure applied to a mobile terminal;
activating an orientation sensor;
generating, while the pressure event is being detected, a direction signal corresponding to a direction event detected by the orientation sensor according to a movement of the mobile terminal in a direction; and
performing at least one function according to the generated direction signal, the at least one function comprising at least one of a content classification and storage function, a content display function, and a menu navigation function.

Abstract
A method for operating a mobile terminal is disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a pressure sensor and an orientation sensor. While a pressure event is detected by the pressure sensor, functions related to content classification, content storage, content display, and menu navigation can be executed in response to a direction event detected by the orientation sensor. Hence, the mobile terminal is capable of operating in a dynamic and a flexible manner.
