  • Publication number: 20140253478
    Abstract: A mobile terminal and a method of controlling the mobile terminal are disclosed. According to the embodiment of the present invention, when a touching event for a touch input to a touch screen is generated, a writing sound source corresponding to the generated touching event is selected from a memory, and a feedback sound is output in real time, that is generated by changing a sound property of the writing sound source that is selected according to a pressure of a touch applied to the touch screen and a moving speed of the touch. This enables the user to feel as if he/she performed the writing input in the actual analog environment, and provides the use with a yearning for the analog environment and a pleasure to experience it.
