MOBILE TERMINAL
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a wireless communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one other terminal;
a capacitance touch screen including an input touch layer configured to detect a touching of the touch screen, an output touch layer configured to output touch signals corresponding to the detected touching of the touch screen, a display layer configured to display information, and a proximity sensor layer disposed between the touch input layer and the touch output layer and configured to proximity detect a movement of a selection unit over the capacitance touch screen without the selection unit actually touching the capacitance touch screen; and
a controller configured to calculate coordinates of a touch point where the capacitance touch screen was touched based on the output touch signals and to calculate coordinates of points along the detected movement of the selection unit based on the proximity detected movement by the proximity sensor layer.

11. A method of controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
-
allowing, via a wireless communication unit on the mobile terminal, wireless communication with at least one other terminal; displaying, via a display unit, information generated by the mobile terminal, said display unit including a capacitance touch screen including an input touch layer configured to detect a touching of the touch screen, an output touch layer configured to output touch signals corresponding to the detected touching of the touch screen, a display layer configured to display information, and a proximity sensor layer disposed between the touch input layer and the touch output layer and configured to proximity detect a movement of a selection unit over the capacitance touch screen without the selection unit actually touching the capacitance touch screen; and calculating, via a controller on the mobile terminal, coordinates of a touch point where the capacitance touch screen was touched based on the output touch signals and coordinates of points along the detected movement of the selection unit based on the proximity detected movement by the proximity sensor layer. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
