MOBILE TERMINAL AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING A MODE SWITCHING THEREIN
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a communication unit configured to communicate with at least one external terminal;
a memory configured to store at least a first and second operating system including at least first and second modes, respectively; and
a controller configured to execute the first operating system and to activate the first mode corresponding to the first operating system, to display a first information screen on a display unit corresponding to the activated first mode, to receive a switching signal indicating the first mode is to be switched to the second mode, to perform an authentication procedure for authenticating that the first mode can be switched to the second mode, to activate the second mode and deactivate the first mode when the authentication procedure is validly performed, and to display a second information screen on the display unit corresponding to the second mode and that is different than the first information screen.

11. A method of controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
-
allowing, via a communication unit of the mobile terminal, communication with at least one external terminal; storing, in a memory of the mobile terminal, at least a first and second operating system including at least first and second modes, respectively; executing, via a controller of the mobile terminal, the first operating system and activating the first mode corresponding to the first operating system; displaying, on a display unit of the mobile terminal, a first information screen on a display unit corresponding to the activated first mode; receiving, via the controller, a switching signal indicating the first mode is to be switched to the second mode; performing, via the controller, an authentication procedure for authenticating that the first mode can be switched to the second mode; activating, via the controller, the second mode and deactivating the first mode when the authentication procedure is validly performed; and displaying, on the display unit, a second information screen on the display unit corresponding to the second mode and that is different than the first information screen. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
