First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for controlling transmission power of a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- determining whether a human body touches the mobile terminal;
comparing a current transmission power with a preset threshold power, when it is determined that the human body touches the mobile terminal;
setting the transmission power to a value lower than the preset threshold power, when the current transmission power is equal to or higher than the preset threshold power; and
outputting a signal with the set transmission power.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus for controlling transmission power in a mobile terminal are provided. The method includes determining whether a human body touches the mobile terminal, comparing a current transmission power with a preset threshold power, when it is determined that the human body touches the mobile terminal, setting the transmission power to a value lower than the preset threshold power, when the current transmission power is equal to or higher than the preset threshold power, and outputting a signal with the set transmission power.

11. A mobile terminal comprising:
-
at least one sensing node disposed at a human body touch area of the mobile terminal; a touch sensor for detecting whether a human body touches the mobile terminal at the at least one sensing node; a transceiver for amplifying and outputting a signal, and for transmitting an output voltage to a controller; a memory for storing a table including transmission powers corresponding to output voltages, and a threshold power; and a controller for detecting an output voltage received from the transceiver when the human body touches the mobile terminal at the touch sensor, for determining a transmission power corresponding to an output voltage from the memory, for comparing the determined transmission power with the threshold power, for setting the transmission power to a value lower than the threshold voltage when the transmission power is equal to or higher than the threshold power, and for controlling the transceiver to output a signal with an output voltage corresponding to the set transmission power. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
