Abstract: A method of controlling a mobile terminal, and which includes controlling, via a Windows processor, a plurality of peripheral devices of the mobile terminal; switching, via the Windows processor, the mobile terminal into a sleep state; granting, via an arbiter control processor, a control authority for controlling predetermined peripheral devices among the plurality of peripheral device to a 3G modem when the mobile terminal is switched into the sleep state; receiving, via a communication unit on the mobile terminal, an incoming call; and managing, via the 3G modem, circuit data and the predetermined peripheral devices for the incoming call.

Abstract: A mobile terminal including a controller configured to execute an operation mode relating to one or more functions of the mobile terminal; a sensor configured to detect a motion of a pen unit by sensing ultrasonic waves generated by the pen unit; a display configured to display information; and a wireless communication unit configured to wireless communicate with at least one other mobile terminal. Further, the controller is further configured to compare the motion of the pen unit with a preset specific pattern, and to execute an operation corresponding to the specific pattern based on a result of the comparison.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program product for actively controlling the luminance (brightness) of illumination of a backlight of a mobile terminal according to the surrounding environment and a mobile terminal implementing such apparatus are disclosed. The mobile terminal includes: an illuminance sensor that detects ambient illuminance; a backlight controller that controls a brightness of backlight illumination by regulating the power outputted to the backlight according to a change in the ambient illuminance detected by the illuminance sensor; and a controller that monitors an operation state of the backlight controller or changes a set value of a particular register or component by cooperating with the backlight controller.
