Mobile terminal and method for controlling the same
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a body configured to form an external appearance of the terminal;
a touch screen including a touch sensor and disposed at a front side of the body;
a window formed on the touch screen;
a deformation region deforms with at least one region of the window where a touch input occurs on the window; and
a force sensing layer detects a force of the touch input by sensing a change of capacitance occurred on the force sensing layer and being separated from the touch sensor by interposing the deformation region between the touch sensor and the force sensing layer; and
a controller configured to;
display content in a first display region and a virtual keyboard in a second display region, anddisplay the content in the first display region based on the touch input applied to the second display region,wherein the content displayed in the first display region is an indicator based on the touch input applied to the virtual keyboard, if the touch input is determined as a force touch based on the detected force of the touch input via the force sensing layer,wherein the indicator moves in the first region based on a movement of the touch input,wherein the content displayed in the first display region is a text entered based on the touch input applied to the virtual keyboard, if the touch input is not determined as the force touch based on the detected force of the touch input via the force sensing layer, andwherein the indicator moves based on the movement of the touch input not necessarily maintaining the force of the force touch, after the touch input is determined as the force touch.

Abstract
A mobile terminal including a wireless communication unit configured to provide wireless communication; a body configured to form an external appearance of the terminal; and a touch display unit formed on the body. Further, the touch display unit includes a display panel configured to display screen information, a window formed on the display panel, a first sensing unit and a second sensing unit disposed below the window and configured to sense touch coordinates of a touch input on the window, a deformation region configured to deform with at least one region of the window where the touch input occurs on the window, and a third sensing unit separated from the first sensing unit by interposing the deformation region therebetween. The terminal also includes a controller configured to execute a specific control command based on the touch input sensed by the first through the third sensing units.
