The present invention relates to a personal mobile terminal. More specifically, the present invention relates to a slide type personal portable terminal.

Mobile phones may be generally classified into a flip type, a folder type, and a sliding type according to their appearance or operation. Among them, the sliding type mobile phone is arranged to overlap two sliding bodies, and the display unit and the key input unit are disposed in the same direction on each of the sliding bodies. In general, the sliding type mobile phone may expose the display unit or the key input unit that is covered by the rear side by relatively moving the sliding body of the front. For example, there is a slide-type mobile phone that can push up the front sliding body to expose a key input unit formed on the front of the sliding body in the rear. Recently, various game functions have been downloaded due to the enormous communication technology and memory capacity of personal mobile terminals, and users can enjoy various game services through personal mobile terminals.

1 is a perspective view illustrating a conventional sliding cell phone.

Referring to Figure 1, the conventional mobile phone 100 of the sliding method includes an upper sliding body 120 and a lower sliding body 110 overlapping up and down, between the upper and lower sliding bodies (120, 110) A slide hinge device connecting the body may be interposed to interconnect the upper and lower sliding bodies 110 and 120, and may assist sliding of each other. A display unit 125, a game direction key 128, and a game button 126 are installed on the front surface of the upper sliding body 120, and a key input unit (not shown) is formed on the front surface of the lower sliding body 110.

However, in the conventional slide-type mobile phone, the game machine-related mobile phone released for the user to enjoy a game function is simply a type of horizontally arranged by holding an additional button on the top of the conventional slide-type mobile phone. In more detail, the display unit 125, the game direction keys 128 and the game button 126 are all disposed on the front surface of the upper sliding body 120 in front of the upper sliding body 120, so that the area of the display unit provided on the front surface is increased. When the user enjoys the game for a long time by using a narrow view, eyes may be tired easily, and it is difficult to use a more lively game service.

In addition, users need to secure a wider keypad space or add a new key button in order to use various game functions added to the mobile phone more conveniently and freely. It is also difficult to provide new keypads that are compatible with game functions.
