Abstract
A mobile terminal and a method perform screen unlock based on a motion. The mobile terminal includes a motion measure unit, a motion pattern storage, and a controller. The motion measure unit measures a first motion pattern of the mobile terminal. The motion pattern storage stores a second motion pattern set for the mobile terminal. When the first motion pattern of the mobile terminal measured by the motion measure unit coincides with the second motion pattern stored in the motion pattern storage, the controller executes a screen unlock of the mobile terminal.
