Abstract: A mobile terminal and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. The mobile terminal and method for controlling same can recognize a first input, which is applied to a first area of the display unit on which a preview image obtained by driving a camera is displayed, as a triggering signal for entering a specific photographing mode and enter the specific photographing mode, upon reception of the first input. According to the present invention, grip of the mobile terminal can be improved by processing an operation of gripping the mobile terminal as a valid input.

Abstract: A mobile terminal includes a display unit, a memory and a controller. The display unit outputs screen information. The memory stores, together with backup data of the mobile terminal, a backup image obtained by imaging the screen information at the time when a control command is input, based on the control command input while the screen information is being output. The controller recovers the mobile terminal, using the backup data, based on a touch input applied to the backup image.
