Abstract: A mobile terminal and display controlling method thereof are disclosed. The present invention includes detecting whether the position of the keypad is shifted to cover a partial display region of the display unit, if it is detected that the position of the keypad is shifted, changing a normal display mode into a control display mode, and if the control display mode is entered, performing a display operation corresponding to the control display mode in a different display region except the partial display region. Accordingly, in case that a keypad is located to cover a display region of a display unit in part, the present invention enables a display function to be effectively performed in the rest of the display region except the partially covered display region.

Abstract: A mobile terminal is provided including a keypad, a controller, and a display unit. The keypad is for inputting a search expression by sequentially entering characters. The controller is configured to search a memory to detect at least one expression that includes the search expression. The display unit is configured to display the keypad. The controller is configured to detect a set of characters. The detected set of characters include a character after each search expression in the detected at least one expression. The controller is configured to control the display unit to display the detected set of characters such that characters in the detected set of characters are emphasized over characters not in the detected set of characters.

Abstract: A method for controlling a mobile terminal includes displaying icons within a region of a display of the mobile terminal, forming a group icon as being associated with a plurality of the icons, displaying the group icon within the region of the display to permit user access to the plurality of icons which are each associated with the group icon, ceasing the displaying of the plurality of icons which are each associated with the group icon, and generating a menu in response to selection of the group icon, the menu comprising selectable operations individually relating to at least one of the plurality of icons which are each associated with the group icon.

Abstract: A mobile terminal including a display having a menu display portion configured to display a menu group among a plurality of menu groups that are arranged in a same planar surface, a handler mechanism configured to traverse through the plurality of menu groups, and a controller configured to select one menu group among the plurality of menu groups to be displayed in the menu display portion based on a manipulation of the handler mechanism.

Abstract: A mobile terminal configured to couple with a user-removable interface module includes a connector configured to couple or otherwise contact the removable interface module, a controller configured to determine whether a coupling exists between the mobile terminal and the removable interface module, and a touchscreen display configured to display the first group of icons responsive to the determining that the coupling does not exist and display the second group of icons responsive to the determining that the coupling exists, wherein each of the first group of icons relates to a function that is associated with the mobile terminal and which are each controllable responsive to user input to the touchscreen display, and wherein each of the second group of icons relates to a function of the mobile terminal that is associated with the removable interface module and which are each controllable responsive to user input to the touchscreen display.

Abstract: A mobile terminal is provided. The mobile terminal includes a display for sensing at least one of a touch or an approach of a pointing means and a controller for controlling brightness of a sensed area according to the sensed touch or the approach of the pointing means.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile communication device and a method of controlling the mobile communication device. The method includes displaying a plurality of items, receiving a first touch signal, indicating that at least one item having a position on the screen has been selected, receiving a second touch signal, and scrolling at least a portion of the displayed items, other than the at least one selected item, while the at least one selected item remains fixed in its original position on the touch screen, in response to the second touch signal.

Abstract: A method of controlling a mobile terminal is provided. The method includes displaying a first screen image, receiving weather information, providing a semi-transparent filter effect corresponding to the weather information, and overlaying the semi-transparent filter effect onto the first screen image to create a second composite image, and displaying the second composite image. A mobile terminal is also provided, which includes a display module configured to display a first screen image as an idle screen background, a wireless communication unit configured to receive weather information through a communication network, and a controller configured to overlay a semi-transparent filter effect corresponding to the received weather information onto the first screen image to create a second composite image, and then to display the second composite image.

Abstract: A mobile terminal and a method of controlling the operation of the mobile terminal are provided. The method includes displaying a first image on a touch screen; and if a multi-touch input is detected from the first image and then a drag input for dragging the first image is detected, displaying the first image as being torn from one side of the touch screen and storing the first image. Therefore, it is possible to easily store an image displayed on the touch screen in response to a multi-touch input and thus to effectively use the image for various purposes.

Abstract: Provided are a semiconductor device and a touch sensor device. The semiconductor device includes a die including a sense signal generator for sensing a touch signal to generate a sense signal; a conductive die-attach pad attached to the die to generate the touch signal; and a package for packaging the die and the die-attach pad, wherein the die-attach pad generates the touch signal depending on whether a touch object comes into contact with the package. The touch sensor device includes a plurality of semiconductor devices connected in a daisy-chain communication mode, wherein each of the semiconductor devices includes a die including a sense signal generator for sensing a touch signal to generate a sense signal; a conductive die-attach pad attached to the die to generate the touch signal; and a package for packaging the die and the die-attach pad, wherein the die-attach pad generates the touch signal depending on whether a touch object is brought into contact with the package.

Abstract: A device, computer program product and method of controlling a display on a mobile terminal including a first body, a second body connected to the first body, the method including displaying a first display, including one of a still image, a slide show, or a moving image, on the touchscreen when the mobile terminal is closed; and automatically overlaying a text box on the first display when the mobile terminal is opened.

Abstract: An input device for a content providing device and a method of operating the same are provided.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for fumigating germicidal and deodorant agent used in disinfecting and deodorizing the interior of an air conditioner employed in a building or an automobile. The apparatus has a supporter, on which a container containing the germicidal and deodorant agent is disposed; a heating assembly for heating the container; and a power supply section for applying electric power to the heating heating assembly.
