Method and mobile terminal for controlling screen lock
First Claim
1. A method of controlling screen lock of a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- receiving an input corresponding to an operation of turning on a display of the mobile terminal;
detecting a wireless device within a predefined range from the mobile terminal;
obtaining information of the detected wireless device;
determining whether the obtained information matches information stored in the mobile terminal;
displaying, if the obtained information matches the information stored in the mobile terminal, a home screen on the display;
displaying, if the obtained information mismatches the information stored in the mobile terminal, an unlock requesting screen on the display, wherein the unlock requesting screen includes at least one user interface (UI) for receiving a user input to unlock the mobile terminal;
acquiring, after the display is turned on, if the detected wireless device having the obtained information being matched to the information stored in the mobile terminal is continuously detected, a first sensing information from the mobile terminal; and
controlling display of a screen on the display based on a matching result of the first sensing information and a predefined sensing condition.

Abstract
A method of controlling screen lock and a mobile terminal employing the same is provided. The mobile device includes a User Interface (UI) for setting a screen unlock mode using a wireless device other than the mobile terminal and stores IDentifier (ID) information of the wireless device designated by the UI corresponding to the screen unlock mode. The mobile terminal is capable of detecting a wireless device. After the ID information of the wireless device is stored, if the wireless device is detected by the mobile terminal and ID information of the detected wireless device is identical to the stored ID information, the mobile terminal controls not to display an unlock requesting screen when the display unit of the mobile terminal is turned on.
