MOBILE TERMINAL AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a battery unit configured to supply power to at least one electronic element mounted on a terminal body;
a measurement unit configured to measure a battery remaining amount of the battery unit; and
a controller configured to set a battery assigned amount for the battery unit to a designated contact address, implement a limited mode according to a comparison of the battery remaining amount to the battery assigned amount, and limit at least one function based on information on contact addresses other than the designated contact address when the limited mode is implemented.
