Abstract
Disclosed is a mobile terminal, including: a terminal body having a front surface, a rear surface and side surfaces; a display unit disposed on the front surface of the terminal body, and configured to enable writing thereon through a touch input in a writing mode; a squeeze sensing unit mounted to the side surface of the terminal body for sensing of a squeeze operation applied to the terminal body, and configured to sense a pressure applied to the side surface of the terminal body; and a controller configured to recognize a type of the squeeze operation by the squeeze sensing unit, and to generate different control commands related to the writing mode based on the recognized type.

17. A mobile terminal, comprising:
-
a terminal body having a front side, a rear side, and lateral sides connecting the front side and the rear side; a display disposed on the front side and comprising a touch screen; is a sensing unit configured to sense a pressure applied to at least one of the lateral sides in response to a first input to the sensing unit that is received in a first mode; and a controller configured to switch from the first mode to a second mode when the sensed pressure generated by the first input is determined to satisfy a preset condition, wherein handwriting is enabled in the second mode by a first touch input received via the touch screen. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
