MOBILE TERMINAL AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING A MODE SWITCHING THEREIN
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a communication unit configured to communicate with at least one external terminal;
a memory configured to store at least first and second operating systems including at least first and second modes, respectively; and
a controller configured to execute the first operating system and to activate the first mode corresponding to the first operating system, to display a first information screen on a display unit corresponding to the activated first mode, to receive a switching signal indicating the first mode is to be switched to the second mode, to attempt to switch to the second mode based on the received switching signal, and to restrict a specific application executing in the first mode when the second mode is not switched to.

13. A method of controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
-
allowing, via a communication unit of the mobile terminal, communication with at least one external terminal; storing, via a memory of the mobile terminal, at least first and second operating systems including at least first and second modes, respectively; executing, via a controller of the mobile terminal, the first operating system and activating the first mode corresponding to the first operating system; displaying, via a display unit of the mobile terminal, a first information screen corresponding to the activated first mode; receiving, via the controller, a switching signal indicating the first mode is to be switched to the second mode; attempting, via the controller, to switch to the second mode based on the received switching signal; and restricting, via the controller, a specific application executing in the first mode when the second mode is not switched to. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
