1. A mobile terminal, comprising:

  • a touch screen including a touch sensing layer sensing touch coordinates and a display unit displaying information;

    a window provided on the touch screen;

    a deformation layer deformable by a pressure of a touch input on the window;

    a third sensing layer sensing a change of capacitance based on deforming a deformation region of the deformation layer corresponding to a region of the touch input on the window; and

    a controller configured to;

    control the touch screen to display a virtual keyboard on the touch screen,control the touch screen to detect a first touch input on the virtual keyboard on the touch screen,determine a touch pressure and a touch coordinate when the first touch input is applied on a region of the window corresponding to the virtual keyboard on the touch screen,if the controller detects the first touch input with a first touch pressure less than a reference touch pressure when the first touch input is applied on the region of the window corresponding to the virtual keyboard on the touch screen, control the touch screen to display text corresponding to a coordinate of the first touch input with the first touch pressure applied to the virtual keyboard in the touch screen, andif the controller detects the first touch input with a second touch pressure over than the reference touch pressure when the first touch input is applied on the region of the window corresponding to the virtual keyboard on the touch screen, control the touch screen to display a pointer in the touch screen,wherein the controller controls the touch screen to change a location of the displayed pointer in response to touch coordinates changed by a movement of the first touch input with the second touch pressure applied on the region of the window corresponding to the virtual keyboard on the touch screen, andwherein the controller controls the touch screen to move a location of the displayed pointer based on changing coordinates of the first touch input without maintaining the second touch pressure while the touch coordinates are changed.
