Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a mobile terminal, and more particularly, to a mobile terminal capable of wireless charging and a control method thereof. A mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a power receiving unit formed to receive power in a wireless manner from a wireless charging pad; a wireless communication unit configured to transmit user information to a server or the wireless charging pad, and receive advertisement content associated with the user information from the server or the wireless charging pad; a display unit formed to display the advertisement content; and a controller configured to manage history information displayed with the advertisement content on the display unit and control the power receiving unit to receive power in a wireless manner from the wireless charging pad based on the history information.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a power receiving unit formed to receive power in a wireless manner from a wireless charging pad;

a wireless communication unit configured to transmit user information to a server or the wireless charging pad, and receive advertisement content associated with the user information from the server or the wireless charging pad;

a display unit formed to display the advertisement content; and

a controller configured to manage history information displayed with the advertisement content on the display unit and control the power receiving unit to receive power in a wireless manner from the wireless charging pad based on the history information.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the wireless communication unit receives service guide information for configuring power receiving condition information from the server or the wireless charging pad, and

the controller displays the received service guide information on the display unit, and configures the power receiving condition information based on the user'"'"'s selection of the displayed service guide information.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 2, wherein the controller determines whether or not to receive power from the wireless charging pad using the history information and the power receiving condition information displayed with the advertisement content.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein the controller controls the power receiving unit to receive power in a wireless manner from the wireless charging pad when the history information satisfies the power receiving condition, and displays a popup window indicating that the power receiving condition is not satisfied on the display unit when the history information does not satisfies the power receiving condition.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the controller adjusts an amount of power to be received in a wireless manner by the power receiving unit from the wireless charging pad based on the history information when the history information does not satisfy the power receiving condition.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 2, wherein the controller transmits the history information and the power receiving condition information to the server or the wireless charging pad, and receives any one of a wireless charging accept message and a wireless charging reject message from the server or the wireless charging pad.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 2, wherein the service guide information comprises at least one of an amount of power to be received in a wireless manner from the wireless charging pad, a time point of displaying the advertisement content based on the power receiving time point, a number of displaying the advertisement content, and a time of displaying the advertisement content.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 7, wherein the controller manages the history information in a different manner according to the time point of displaying the advertisement content based on the power receiving time point.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 8, wherein the controller controls the power receiving unit to receive power in a wireless manner from the wireless charging pad regardless of whether or not to display the advertisement content when the time point of displaying the advertisement content is configured subsequent to the power receiving time point, and stores history information on the display of the advertisement content in a memory to use it when required to receive power in a wireless manner again from the wireless charging pad later.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 2, wherein the controller measures an amount of power received in a wireless manner by the power receiving unit from the wireless charging pad, and displays a progress bar indicating the power amount information on the display unit.

11. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a power receiving unit formed to receive power in a wireless manner from a wireless charging pad;

a wireless communication unit configured to transmit user information to a server or the wireless charging pad, and receive point information associated with the user information from the server or the wireless charging pad; and

a controller configured to control the power receiving unit to display a menu for selecting whether or not to receive power and receive power in a wireless manner from the wireless charging pad based on the selection of the menu, and transmit at least one of the received power amount information and point deduction information according to the received power amount information to the server or the wireless charging pad to deduct the point based on the received power amount.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 11, wherein the menu is a menu for selecting whether or not to receive power using the point information, and

the controller displays guide information on point deduction along with the menu.

13. The mobile terminal of claim 12, wherein the wireless communication unit receives point guide information for determining an amount of power to be received from the server or the wireless charging pad, and

the controller configures power receiving condition information based on the selection of the point guide information, and controls the power receiving unit to receive power in a wireless manner from the wireless charging pad based on the power receiving condition information.

14. The mobile terminal of claim 13, further comprising:

a display unit,

wherein the controller controls the power receiving unit to receive power in a wireless manner from the wireless charging pad when the point information satisfies the power receiving condition, and displays a message indicating that the power receiving condition is not satisfied on the display unit when the point information does not satisfies the power receiving condition.

15. The mobile terminal of claim 14, wherein the controller displays advertisement content on the display unit when the point information does not satisfy the power receiving condition, and controls the power receiving unit to receive power in a wireless manner from the wireless charging pad based on the history information displayed with the advertisement content on the display unit.

16. The mobile terminal of claim 14, wherein the controller adjusts an amount of power to be received in a wireless manner by the power receiving unit from the wireless charging pad based on the point information when the point information does not satisfy the power receiving condition.

17. The mobile terminal of claim 13, wherein the controller transmits the point information and the power receiving condition information to the server or the wireless charging pad, and receives any one of a wireless charging accept message and a wireless charging reject message from the server or the wireless charging pad.

18. The mobile terminal of claim 13, wherein the point guide information comprises at least one of an amount of power to be received in a wireless manner from the wireless charging pad and points to be deducted based on the amount of power to be received.
