Abstract: A mobile terminal including an upper body having an upper surface, a display located at the upper body, a lower body having first and second upper surfaces, the upper body being connected to the lower body for movement between a closed configuration in which the upper body completely covers the second upper surface and an open configuration in which the upper body partially covers the second upper surface to expose a portion of the second upper surface, the upper surface of the upper body being substantially co-planar to the first upper surface of the second body in the open and closed configuration, a first camera located at one of the upper body and the lower body, and at least one camera-dedicated key located at said portion of the second upper surface exposed in the open configuration, the at least one camera-dedicated key being configured to control the first camera.

Abstract: A battery cover locking device including a battery cover configured to protect at least a portion of a battery detachably installed in a main body of an electronic device, a locking unit including a first locking mechanism disposed on the battery cover and a second locking mechanism disposed on the main body in which the first and second locking mechanisms engage with each other to couple the battery cover to the main body, and an unlocking unit mounted on the battery cover and configured to release the battery cover from the main body by pressing against the second locking mechanism such that the first and second locking mechanisms disengage from each other.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile terminal capable of reducing an impact generated when a body of the mobile terminal is opened and closed. Preferably, the present invention comprises a first body and a second body slidably mounted to each other, an elastic force providing unit installed between the first body and the second body for providing an elastic force to aid movement between the first body and the second body when either of the first body and the second body is moved in an opened or closed direction with respect to the other, and a damping unit installed between the first body and the second body for reducing an impact generated when either of the first body and the second body is moved in the opened or closed direction with respect to the other.
