Mobile terminal and controlling method thereof
First Claim
1. A watch terminal comprising:
- a touchscreen;
a wireless communication unit configured to transceive data with an external terminal;
a sensing unit configured to detect a rotation of the watch terminal;
a user input unit configured to receive an input of a gesture command from a user;
a laser pointer; and
a controller configured to;
switch the watch terminal to a first operating mode when a direction of applying the laser pointer is the external terminal based on the detected rotation of the watch terminal,control the external terminal in the first operating mode based on the received input of the gesture command,switch the watch terminal to a second operating mode when the direction of applying the laser pointer is not the external terminal based on the detected rotation of the watch terminal, wherein when the watch terminal is switched to the second operating mode, the controller deactivates the laser pointer, andoutput at least one control button on the touchscreen for controlling the external terminal in the second operating mode.

Abstract
A mobile terminal and controlling method thereof are disclosed, by which an external terminal can be controlled easily and intuitively. The present invention includes a touchscreen, a wireless communication unit configured to transceive data with an external terminal, a sensing unit configured to detect a rotation of the mobile terminal, a user input unit configured to receive an input of a gesture command from a user, and a controller controlling the external terminal in 1st operating mode based on the received input of the gesture command, the controller controlling the touchscreen to output at least one control button for controlling the external terminal in 2nd operating mode, the controller switching the 1st operating mode and the 2nd operating mode to each other based on the detected rotation.

8. A method of controlling a watch terminal, the method comprising:
-
detecting, via a controller, a rotation of the watch terminal; switching, via the controller, the watch terminal to a first operating mode when a direction of applying the laser pointer is an external terminal based on the detected rotation of the watch terminal; controlling, via the controller, an external terminal in the first operating mode based on a received input of a gesture command; switching, via the controller, the watch terminal to a second operating mode when the direction of applying the laser pointer is not the external terminal based on the detected rotation of the watch terminal, wherein when the watch terminal is switched to the second operating mode, the controller deactivates the laser pointer; and outputting, via the controller, at least one control button on the touchscreen for controlling the external terminal in the second operating mode. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
