MOBILE TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A MOBILE TERMINAL BASED ON TOUCH INPUT
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal to operate based on a touch input, the mobile terminal comprising:
- a touch panel comprising a first input area and a second input area to receive at least one touch input to generate at least one touch sensed signal; and
a touch sensing unit to generate at least one control signal corresponding to the at least one touch sensed signal,wherein the first input area remains activated in a power off state of the mobile terminal and the second input area is initially deactivated in the power off state.

Abstract
A mobile terminal and methods for operating a mobile terminal based on a touch input, including receiving at least one touch input to a touch panel of the mobile terminal, the touch panel including a first input area and a second input area; generating at least one touch sensed signal corresponding to the at least one touch input to one or more of the first input area and the second input area; generating at least one control signal corresponding to the at least one touch sensed signal, wherein the first input area remains activated in a power off state of the mobile terminal and the second input area is initially deactivated in the power off state. The mobile terminal and methods for operating the mobile terminal based on a touch input thereby provide for an improved design and enhanced reliability of operation.

20. A mobile terminal to operate based on a touch input, the mobile terminal comprising:
-
a touch panel to receive at least one touch input to generate at least one touch sensed signal; a touch sensing unit to generate at least one control signal corresponding to the at least one touch sensed signal, wherein the touch panel comprises a plurality of input areas, and wherein an input area less than the plurality of input areas is activated in a power off state of the mobile terminal to receive the touch input to generate the touch sensed signal to enable generation of the corresponding control signal for a power on state of the mobile terminal, and at least one input area other than the activated input area is initially deactivated in the power off state.

34. A method for operating a mobile terminal based on a touch input, the method comprising:
-
activating a first input area of a touch panel of the mobile terminal to generate at least one touch sensed signal in a power off state of the mobile terminal; inactivating a second input area of the touch panel in the power off state; activating the second input area of the touch panel to generate at least one touch sensed signal when the at least one touch sensed signal from the first input area in the power-off state is generated; and generating at least one control signal corresponding to the generated at least one touch sensed signal from one or more of the first input area or the second input area.
