Abstract

A mobile terminal including a main display; an extended display extended to at least one side of the main display, and forming a single display together with the main display; a fingerprint input unit configured to input a fingerprint; and a controller configured to deactivate the main display, and display payment-related information related to a payment made with the mobile terminal on the extended display while maintaining the deactivation of the main display, in response to a fingerprint input on the fingerprint input unit.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a main display;

an extended display extended to at least one side of the main display, and forming a single display together with the main display;

a fingerprint input unit configured to input a fingerprint; and

a controller configured to;

deactivate the main display, and

display payment-related information related to a payment made with the mobile terminal on the extended display while maintaining the deactivation of the main display, in response to a fingerprint input on the fingerprint input unit.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to independently activate and deactivate the main display and the extended display.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the extended display is formed on a same plane as the main display, or is formed on a different surface from the main display by being extended from the main display toward one side.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the extended display has a planar surface or a curved surface.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the payment-related information includes a payment mechanism and a payment method, and

wherein the payment mechanism includes at least one of a credit card, a discount card and a coupon,

wherein the payment method includes at least one of a card payment, a bar code payment, a signature payment and an Internet payment.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the payment includes one of an online payment and an offline payment, and

wherein the offline payment corresponds to a wireless payment, an NFC payment or a bar code payment.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to display the payment-related information and an accumulated amount of money on the extended display for a transportation fare payment, and display traffic information on a destination based on a pre-registered moving path.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to display different payment mechanisms on the extended display according to different fingerprints input on the fingerprint input unit, and additionally display a discount card and a coupon according to a payment place.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein in response to a touch and drag motion from the extended display to the main display, the controller is further configured to display a payment signature screen or a bar code screen on the extended display according to a selected payment type.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 9, wherein the controller is further configured to activate the extended display in response to the touch and drag motion.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein in response to a payment place being input to the main display and then a fingerprint being input to the main display, the controller is further configured to display a payment mechanism usable in the payment place on the extended display.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to move the payment-related information displayed on the extended display up and down or right and left in response a finger corresponding to the fingerprint moving in corresponding directions on the fingerprint input unit.

13. The mobile terminal of claim 1, further comprising:

a memory configured to store a relationship between different payment methods and fingerprints of different fingers of a user.

14. A method of controlling a mobile terminal including a main display and an extended display extended to at least one side of the main display, and forming a single display together with the main display, the method comprising:

deactivating, via a controller, the main display; and

displaying payment-related information related to a payment made with the mobile terminal on the extended display while maintaining the deactivation of the main display, in response to a fingerprint input on the fingerprint input unit.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

independently, via the controller, activating and deactivating the main display and the extended display.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein the extended display is formed on a same plane as the main display, or is formed on a different surface from the main display by being extended from the main display toward one side.

17. The method of claim 14, wherein the extended display has a planar surface or a curved surface.

18. The method of claim 14, wherein the payment-related information includes a payment mechanism and a payment method,

wherein the payment mechanism includes at least one of a credit card, a discount card and a coupon, and

wherein the payment method includes at least one of a card payment, a bar code payment, a signature payment and an Internet payment.

19. The method of claim 14, wherein the payment includes one of an online payment and an offline payment, and

wherein the offline payment corresponds to a wireless payment, an NFC payment or a bar code payment.

20. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

displaying the payment-related information and an accumulated amount of money on the extended display for a transportation fare payment; and

displaying traffic information on a destination based on a pre-registered moving path.
