Patent Images
1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a display unit;
a sensing unit; and
a controller configured to;
maintain a brightness of the display unit at a reduced level of screen brightness during a non-active state of the mobile terminal; and
restore the brightness of the display unit to a normal level of screen brightness after a short timeout subsequent to a detection of an event configured to activate the mobile terminal via the sensing unit.

13. A method of a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
-
maintaining a brightness of a display unit of the mobile terminal at a reduced level of screen brightness during a non-active state of the mobile terminal; starting a timer for a short timeout in response to a detection of an event, wherein the brightness of the display unit of the mobile terminal is controlled to be at a low level of screen brightness than a normal level of screen brightness during the short timeout; and setting the brightness of the display unit to the normal level of screen brightness upon completion of the short timeout if the event is configured to place the mobile terminal in an active state, or restoring the brightness of the display unit to the reduced level of screen brightness if the event is configured to place the mobile terminal in the non-active state. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
