Abstract
A method for controlling an active area includes detecting a touch input on a touch area of a display unit; determining validity of the touch input; converting at least a portion of the touch area corresponding to the first touch input to a virtual bezel area if the touch input is determined to be invalid; and performing a command based on the validity of the touch input. A mobile terminal includes a display unit including an active area; a touch input unit to detect a touch input on a touch area of the display unit; and a control unit to determine validity of the detected touch input, to convert at least a portion of the touch area corresponding to the first touch input to a virtual bezel area if the touch input is determined to be invalid, and to perform a command based on the validity of the touch input.
