The present invention relates to stream display control of a display unit of a mobile terminal, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for controlling display information stream of a mobile terminal for controlling directionality so that characters or images are uniformly displayed on a horizontal plane even when the mobile terminal is tilted. It is about.

The mobile terminal for mobile communication (UE: USER EQUIPMENT) freely moves in the service area (SERVICE AREA) formed by the corresponding base station (RAN: RADIO ACCESS NETWORK) of the registered system, and monitors and monitors the mobile switching center (MSC). It is a high-tech wireless communication device that has the advantage that the individual always carries and communicates with him / herself at any time and anywhere through the communication path established by control and switching (SWITCHING).

The mobile terminal (UE) has a low utilization rate because the time used for communication is small and the time for waiting or carrying for communication is generally higher. As described above, it is easy to use while increasing the low utilization rate of the mobile terminal (UE). In order to increase the gender, various additional services are developed and provided.

The additional service is provided in addition to a communication service, and a mobile communication service provider develops and provides, for example, a wireless internet connection, a text message transmission, a multimedia message transmission, an online game, or the like. The additional function (hereinafter referred to as an additional service) provided by a mobile terminal manufacturer (MAKER) developed and produced by itself is, for example, a phone book (PHONE-BOOK) management, memo writing, message writing, schedule management, game, camera, etc. , Calculators, alarms, ringtone settings, and the like, the additional services continue to be developed and added new functions.
