First Claim
1. A watch-type mobile terminal worn and used on a user'"'"'s wrist portion, the mobile terminal comprising:
- a communication unit configured to perform communication with a vehicle control apparatus installed in a vehicle;
a body worn on the user'"'"'s wrist portion to always contact with the wrist portion;
an output unit provided in the body;
a position detection unit configured to detect the position of the mobile terminal;
an input unit configured to receive the destination of the vehicle, wherein the input unit receives the destination of the vehicle based on at least one of a user'"'"'s touch input and voice input; and
a controller configured to;
control the output unit to output vehicle information on the vehicle acquired from the vehicle control apparatus to the outside, wherein the output unit displays the vehicle information on a screen and outputs it in the form of vibration of the body or voice,calculate a driving direction for arriving at the destination of the vehicle in real time according to the position of the mobile terminal, andcontrol the output unit to display an arrow indicating the calculated driving direction in a turn-by-turn (TBT) manner on the screen,wherein the vehicle control apparatus performs a navigation function for the vehicle,wherein the communication unit receives vehicle driving information associated with the navigation function from the vehicle control apparatus when a navigation link function is activated,wherein the controller controls the output unit to display an arrow indicating a driving direction of the vehicle in a turn-by-turn (TBT) manner on the screen based on the received vehicle driving information, andwherein the controller determines whether or not the user gets off the vehicle prior to arriving at the destination of the vehicle, and activates a pedestrian mode to output a walking direction to the destination of the vehicle through the output unit when the user gets off the vehicle prior to arriving at the destination of the vehicle.

Abstract
A mobile terminal may include a communication unit configured to communicate with a vehicle control apparatus installed in a vehicle, a body worn on the user'"'"'s wrist portion, an output unit provided in the body, and a controller configured to control the output unit to output vehicle information acquired from the vehicle control apparatus to the outside, wherein the output unit displays the vehicle information on a screen and outputs it in the form of vibration of the body or voice. The mobile terminal may further include a position detection unit configured to detect the position of the mobile terminal, wherein the controller calculates a driving direction for arriving at the destination of the vehicle in real time-according to the position of the mobile terminal, and controls the output unit to display an arrow indicating the calculated driving direction in a turn-by-turn (TBT) manner on the screen.
