Abstract: A method and apparatus perform pressure detection in a mobile terminal. method determines a squeezing pressure of the mobile terminal. The method determines whether a user squeezes the mobile terminal using the squeezing pressure determined and a value of a proximity sensor. The method transitions the mobile terminal to a wakeup state in response to determining that the user squeezed the mobile terminal.

Abstract: A method of operating a touch navigation function is provided. The method includes detecting a both hands gripping state of a mobile terminal, determining whether a virtual indicator for indicating a particular area of a display panel of the mobile terminal is called, determining whether at least one touch navigation key generating an event related to a control of a movement of the virtual indicator is called, displaying the at least one virtual indicator in the predetermined area of the display panel displaying the touch navigation key in at least one area of the display panel that is adjacent to an area in which both hands gripping the mobile terminal are located, and indicating the predetermined area of the display panel, moving the virtual indicator outputted on the predetermined area of the display panel, or activating the predetermined area of the display panel indicated by the virtual indicator.

Abstract: A speaker device employing a diaphragm structure for providing high quality sound characteristics. In particular, a separate speaker unit is additionally provided so as to improve a resonator characteristic produced at the rear side of an existing speaker. As such, the rear sound arriving at an end of the resonator is dampened by the sound outputted from the additional speaker unit, thereby improving characteristics, such as clearness, total harmonic distortion, etc.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for controlling power of an electronic device, controlled by a touch input. To this end, a power control apparatus for an electronic device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is disclosed including a touch sensor for sensing a user's touch by a user's finger or the like, and a temperature sensor for sensing a body temperature detected through the touch. Through such a touch sensor and such a temperature sensor, the power control apparatus senses the touch and body temperature of a user, and controls the power of the electronic device. As a result, even without a separate power button installed on the outside of the electronic device, it becomes possible to control the power of the electronic device.
