  • Patent number: 10105573
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a watch-type mobile terminal and a method for controlling the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a watch-type mobile terminal which displays an activity amount, an exercise amount, and the physical age in the daily life of a user; and a method for controlling the same. In order to achieve the objective and other objectives, a watch-type mobile terminal according to one aspect of the present invention, comprises: a display unit; a sensing unit for sensing exercise information of a user and an input signal; and a control unit, wherein the control unit determines, from the exercise information, a first state in which a user is in the middle of daily activities, or a second state in which the user is in the middle of a predefined exercise. In case of the first state, the display unit displays a first indicator which represents a real-time activity amount.
