First Claim
Patent Images
1. A portable electronic device comprising:
- first and second bodies connected to be relatively movable;
a position sensing unit configured to sense at least one relative position set between opened and closed positions of the first and second bodies; and
an output unit mounted on at least one of the first and second bodies and outputting an operation mode corresponding to the sensed relative position.

Abstract
A portable electronic device includes: first and second bodies connected to be relatively movable; a position sensing unit configured to sense at least one relative position set between opened and closed positions of the first and second bodies; s and an output unit mounted on at least one of the first and second bodies and outputting an operation mode corresponding to the sensed relative position. A desired operation mode can be selected easily when the mobile terminal is moved to be opened and closed.
