Control (S385). That is, in response to the rotation of the main body, the operation screen and the mirrored screen may be rotated and displayed, or the screen modified according to the screen state along with the rotation of the screen may be displayed according to the rotation of the main body.

In this case, when the touch recognition point for changing the touch recognition point for recognizing a touch input for a specific object is required in accordance with the rotation of the operation screen, the controller 180 resets the touch recognition point (S390). For example, when the operation screen is rotated by 90 degrees according to the rotation of the main body, the position of the specific object is also different from the initial operation screen. Accordingly, the position for recognizing an input for touching the object must be reset.

If the connection with the display apparatus 200 is not terminated, the process after step S360 is repeatedly performed (S395).

By the above process, the operation of the mobile terminal 100 may be controlled by using the input device 240 connected to the display apparatus 200. In addition, as the portable terminal 100 rotates, the touch recognition point may also be reset.
