APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TERMINAL THROUGH MOTION RECOGNITION
First Claim
1. An apparatus for changing a screen orientation depending on a detected movement of a terminal, comprising:
- a motion sensor for measuring values of three-axis coordinates that change depending on the movement of the terminal;
a display unit for displaying at least two of screen modes; and
a controller for determining whether to change a screen mode based on an amount of change in the measured three-axis coordinates from previously detected three-axis coordinates.

Abstract
An apparatus and a method for changing a screen mode depending on a posture and movement of a terminal are provided. A motion sensor measures a value of a three-axis sensor that changes depending on the posture or movement of the terminal, and transfers the measured value to the controller. A storage stores a plurality of screen modes corresponding to the posture or movement of the terminal. A controller determines the posture or movement of the terminal using the value of the three-axis sensor transferred from the motion sensor, and maintains the current screen mode a change in one of three axes is greater than the other two axes which indicates a user did not intended to switch the screen mode.

9. A method for changing a screen orientation depending on a movement of a terminal, the method comprising:
-
generating coordinate values of three axes indicative of the movement of the terminal using a motion sensor; determining an amount of change of each axis by comparing the generated coordinate values of the three axes from previous coordinate values of three axes; comparing an amount of change of one of the three axes with amounts of change of the other two axes; and changing a screen mode based on the compared result. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

15. A mobile terminal for changing a screen orientation, comprising:
-
a motion sensor for measuring values of three-axis coordinates that change depending on the movement of the terminal; a controller for determining an amount of change in the measured three-axis coordinates from previously detected three-axis coordinates and determining an amount of change in one of the three axis is greater than the other two axis; and wherein the controller maintains the screen orientation if the amount of change in one of the three axes is greater than the other two axes. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
