  • Patent number: 10028227
    Abstract: Disclosed are a mobile terminal capable of implementing an always-on function with a lower power, based on a motion, and a motion-based low power implementing method thereof. The method includes sensing a motion of a user by using an acceleration sensor in a low-power always-on that only the acceleration sensor is activated; a selectively activating an always-on function according to the sensed motion and deactivating the always-on function when no motion is sensed in an always-on state and automatically entering to the low-power always-on function.

  • Patent number: 9563057
    Abstract: An eyewear type terminal includes a camera, an infrared light emitting part, a display unit and a controller. The camera obtains a first image using at least one image sensor. The infrared light emitting part is disposed to be spaced apart from the camera at a predetermined distance, and transmits infrared light using at least one infrared light emitting device. The display unit displays the first image and a marker moving along a first input signal on the first image, when the infrared light emitting part is driven. The controller obtains a second image of an object existing in the area where the marker is displayed using the at least one infrared light emitting part and the camera, when a second input signal is sensed, and outputs visual information related to the obtained second image to be adjacent to the object.
