Mobile terminal and method of controlling the same
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a wireless communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one other terminal;
a body provided with a front surface, a rear surface and a lateral surface;
a display unit disposed on at least the front surface and configured to display screen information;
a squeeze sensing unit configured to sense a pressure applied to the body to detect a squeeze operation; and
a controller configured to;
receive a control command for controlling a preset first operation of the mobile terminal,perform the first preset operation based on receiving only the control command and not detecting the squeeze operation, andperform a second preset operation different than the first preset operation based on receiving both the received control command and the detected squeeze operation,wherein when the controller detects only the squeeze operation and does not receive the control command, the controller is further configured to;
store the screen information,detect the squeeze operation has been released,display a home screen,receive another control command selecting contents displayed on the home screen,display new screen information corresponding to results of said another control command,detect another squeeze operation, anddisplay the stored screen information.

13. A method of controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
-
allowing, via a wireless communication unit, wireless communication with at least one other terminal; displaying, via a display unit disposed on at least a front surface of the mobile terminal, screen information; sensing, via a squeeze sensing unit, a pressure applied to a body of the mobile terminal, to detect a squeeze operation; receiving, via a controller, a control command for controlling a preset first operation of the mobile terminal; performing, via the controller, the first preset operation based on receiving only the control command and not detecting the squeeze operation; and performing, via the controller, a second preset operation different than the first preset operation based on receiving both the received control command and the detected squeeze operation, wherein when the sensing step detects only the squeeze operation and the receiving step does not receive the control command, the method further comprises; storing, via a memory, the screen information; detecting, via the controller, the squeeze operation has been released; displaying, via the display unit, a home screen; receiving, via the controller, another control command selecting contents displayed on the home screen; displaying, via the display unit, new screen information corresponding to results of said another control command; detecting, via the squeeze sensing unit, another squeeze operation; and displaying, via the display unit, the stored screen information. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
