Representative sensors among various sensors that may be included in the sensing unit 140 will be described in more detail.

First, the proximity sensor 141 refers to a sensor that detects the presence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface, or the presence of an object in the vicinity of the detection surface, without mechanical contact by using electromagnetic force or infrared rays. The proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in the inner area of the mobile terminal or in proximity to the touch screen, which is covered by the touch screen.

Examples of the proximity sensor 141 include a transmission type photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection type photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection type photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation type proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor. In the case where the touch screen is electrostatic, the proximity sensor 141 can be configured to detect the proximity of the object with a change of the electric field along the proximity of the object having conductivity. In this case, the touch screen (or touch sensor) itself may be classified as a proximity sensor.

On the other hand, for convenience of explanation, the act of recognizing that the object is located on the touch screen in proximity with no object touching the touch screen is referred to as "proximity touch & The act of actually touching an object on the screen is called a "contact touch. &Quot; The position at which the object is closely touched on the touch screen means a position where the object corresponds to the touch screen vertically when the object is touched. The proximity sensor 141 can detect a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (e.g., a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, have. Meanwhile, the control unit 180 processes data (or information) corresponding to the proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern sensed through the proximity sensor 141 as described above, and further provides visual information corresponding to the processed data It can be output on the touch screen. Furthermore, the control unit 180 can control the mobile terminal 100 such that different operations or data (or information) are processed according to whether the touch to the same point on the touch screen is a proximity touch or a touch touch .

The touch sensor uses a touch (or touch input) applied to the touch screen (or the display unit 151) by using at least one of various touch methods such as a resistance film type, a capacitive type, an infrared type, an ultrasonic type, Detection.

For example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in a pressure applied to a specific portion of the touch screen or a capacitance generated in a specific portion to an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect a position, an area, a pressure at the time of touch, a capacitance at the time of touch, and the like where a touch object touching the touch screen is touched on the touch sensor. Here, the touch object may be a finger, a touch pen, a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like as an object to which a touch is applied to the touch sensor.

Thus, when there is a touch input to the touch sensor, the corresponding signal (s) is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal (s) and transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. Thus, the control unit 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched or the like. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component from the control unit 180, and may be the control unit 180 itself.

On the other hand, the control unit 180 may perform different controls or perform the same control according to the type of the touch object touching the touch screen (or a touch key provided on the touch screen). Whether to perform different controls or to perform the same control according to the type of the touch object may be determined according to the current state of the mobile terminal 100 or an application program being executed.

Touch can be sensed.

The ultrasonic sensor can recognize the position information of the object to be sensed by using ultrasonic waves. Meanwhile, the controller 180 can calculate the position of the wave generating source through the information sensed by the optical sensor and the plurality of ultrasonic sensors. The position of the wave source can be calculated using the fact that the light is much faster than the ultrasonic wave, that is, the time when the light reaches the optical sensor is much faster than the time the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. More specifically, the position of the wave generating source can be calculated using the time difference with the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the reference signal.

The camera 121 includes at least one of a camera sensor (for example, a CCD, a CMOS, etc.), a photo sensor (or an image sensor), and a laser sensor.

The photosensor can be laminated to the display element, which is adapted to scan the movement of the object to be detected proximate to the touch screen. More specifically, the photosensor mounts photo diodes and TRs (Transistors) in a row / column and scans the contents loaded on the photosensor using an electrical signal that varies according to the amount of light applied to the photo diode. That is, the photo sensor performs coordinate calculation of the object to be sensed according to the amount of change of light, and position information of the object to be sensed can be obtained through the calculation.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, information processed in the mobile terminal can be displayed using a flexible display. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a conceptual diagram for explaining another example of the mobile terminal 200 according to the present invention.

As shown, the display unit 251 may be configured to be deformable by an external force. The deformation may be at least one of warping, bending, folding, twisting, and curling of the display portion 251. The deformable display portion 251 may be referred to as a " flexible display portion ". Here, the flexible display unit 251 may include both a general flexible display, e-paper, and combinations thereof. In general, mobile terminal 200 may include features of mobile terminal 100 of Figures 1A-1C or similar features.

A typical flexible display refers to a sturdy display that is lightweight and does not break easily, such as paper, formed on a thin, flexible substrate that can flex, bend, fold, twist, or curl like a conventional flat panel display.

In addition, the electronic paper is a display technology to which general ink characteristics are applied, and the point that the reflected light is used is different from the conventional flat panel display. The electronic paper can be changed by using a twist ball or electrophoresis (electrophoresis) using a capsule.

In a state in which the flexible display portion 251 is not deformed (for example, a state having an infinite radius of curvature, hereinafter referred to as a first state), the display area of the flexible display portion 251 is flat. In the first state, the display area may be a curved surface in a state deformed by an external force (for example, a state having a finite radius of curvature, hereinafter referred to as a second state). As shown in the figure, the information displayed in the second state may be time information output on the curved surface. Such visual information is realized by independently controlling the emission of a sub-pixel arranged in a matrix form. The unit pixel means a minimum unit for implementing one color.

The flexible display unit 251 may be placed in a bent state (for example, a vertical state or a left-to-right bent state) instead of a flat state in the first state. In this case, if an external force is applied to the flexible display portion 251, the flexible display portion 251 may be deformed into a flat state (or a less bent state) or a more bent state.

Meanwhile, the flexible display unit 251 may be combined with a touch sensor to implement a flexible touch screen. When a touch is made to the flexible touch screen, the control unit 180 (see FIG. 1A) can perform control corresponding to the touch input. The flexible touch screen may be configured to sense the touch input in the first state as well as the second state.

Meanwhile, the mobile terminal 200 according to the present modification may be provided with a deformation detecting means capable of detecting deformation of the flexible display unit 251. The deformation detecting means may be included in the sensing unit 140 (see FIG. 1A).

The deformation detecting unit may be provided in the flexible display unit 251 or the case 201 to sense information related to the deformation of the flexible display unit 251. Here, the information related to the deformation may be the direction in which the flexible display unit 251 is deformed, the degree of deformation, the deformed position, the deformation time, and the acceleration at which the deformed flexible display unit 251 is restored, In addition, the flexible display unit 251 may be various information that can be detected due to the bending of the flexible display unit 251.

The control unit 180 may change the information displayed on the flexible display unit 251 or change the information displayed on the flexible display unit 251 based on the information related to the deformation of the flexible display unit 251, It is possible to generate a control signal for controlling the function of the controller.

Meanwhile, the mobile terminal 200 according to the present modification may include a case 201 that accommodates the flexible display unit 251. The case 201 may be configured to be deformable together with the flexible display unit 251 by an external force in consideration of the characteristics of the flexible display unit 251.

In addition, a battery (not shown) included in the mobile terminal 200 may be configured to be deformable together with the flexible display unit 251 due to an external force, taking into account the characteristics of the flexible display unit 251. In order to implement the battery, a stack and folding method in which battery cells are stacked on top of one another may be applied.

The state change of the flexible display unit 251 is not limited to an external force. For example, when the flexible display unit 251 has the first state, it may be transformed to the second state by a command of the user or the application.

Meanwhile, the mobile terminal can be extended to a wearable device that can be worn on the body beyond the dimension that the user mainly grasps and uses. These wearable devices include smart watch, smart glass, and head mounted display (HMD). Hereinafter, examples of a mobile terminal extended to a wearable device will be described.

The wearable device can be made to be able to exchange (or interlock) data with another mobile terminal 100. The short range communication module 114 can detect (or recognize) a wearable device capable of communicating with the mobile terminal 100. If the detected wearable device is a device authenticated to communicate with the mobile terminal 100, the control unit 180 may transmit at least a part of the data processed by the mobile terminal 100 to the wearable device 100 via the short- Lt; / RTI > Accordingly, the user can use the data processed by the mobile terminal 100 through the wearable device. For example, when a telephone is received in the mobile terminal 100, it is possible to perform a telephone conversation via the wearable device or to confirm the received message via the wearable device when a message is received in the mobile terminal 100 .

3 is a perspective view showing an example of a watch-type mobile terminal 300 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

3, the watch-type mobile terminal 300 includes a main body 301 having a display portion 351 and a band 302 connected to the main body 301 and configured to be worn on the wrist. In general, the mobile terminal 300 may include features of the mobile terminal 100 of Figures 1A-1C or similar features.

The main body 301 includes a case that forms an appearance. As shown, the case may include a first case 301a and a second case 301b that provide an internal space for accommodating various electronic components. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one case may be configured to provide the internal space, so that a mobile terminal 300 of a unibody may be realized.

The watch-type mobile terminal 300 is configured to allow wireless communication, and the main body 301 may be provided with an antenna for the wireless communication. On the other hand, the antenna can expand its performance by using a case. For example, a case comprising a conductive material may be configured to electrically connect with the antenna to extend the ground or radiating area.

A display unit 351 is disposed on a front surface of the main body 301 to output information, and a touch sensor is provided on the display unit 351 to implement a touch screen. The window 351a of the display unit 351 may be mounted on the first case 301a to form a front surface of the terminal body together with the first case 301a.

The main body 301 may include an acoustic output unit 352, a camera 321, a microphone 322, a user input unit 323, and the like. When the display unit 351 is implemented as a touch screen, the display unit 351 may function as a user input unit 323, so that the main body 301 may not have a separate key.

The band 302 is worn on the wrist so as to surround the wrist and can be formed of a flexible material for easy wearing. As an example, the band 302 may be formed of leather, rubber, silicone, synthetic resin, or the like. In addition, the band 302 is detachably attached to the main body 301, and can be configured to be replaceable with various types of bands according to the user's preference.

On the other hand, the band 302 can be used to extend the performance of the antenna. For example, the band may include a ground extension (not shown) that is electrically connected to the antenna and extends the ground region.

The band 302 may be provided with a fastener 302a. The fastener 302a may be embodied by a buckle, a snap-fit hook structure, or a velcro (trademark), and may include a stretchable section or material . In this drawing, an example in which the fastener 302a is embodied as a buckle is shown.

Hereinafter, embodiments related to a control method that can be implemented in a mobile terminal configured as above will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof.

In the following description of the drawings, the drawings drawn on the left side are referred to in the order of clockwise or top-down.

The mobile terminal according to the present invention operates while being worn on the user's wrist. That is, the mobile terminal of the present invention is in contact with the user's body for a long time. Therefore, the heat generated by the mobile terminal of the present invention greatly affects the user's body. Specifically, as the mobile terminal of the present invention executes a plurality of applications, the heat of the mobile terminal can be increased due to the overload of the CPU built in the mobile terminal of the present invention. If the user wears a mobile terminal with a high temperature for a long time, there is a possibility of burns.

In general, the user may be aware that the terminal is too hot with the user's tactile sense. When the terminal is excessively hot, the user can prevent the user from wearing the image by taking measures such as canceling the wearing of the terminal or terminating the application being executed.

However, even if the user wears the terminal in a temperature range of 40 to 50 ° C, the user may not feel hot and can wear the terminal for a long time without taking any action. When the user touches the heating element for a long time in the temperature range, it may suffer a low temperature burn.

On the other hand, when the user is immature in the operation of the mobile terminal, it is difficult to take appropriate measures for the heat generation of the mobile terminal, so that there is a high possibility of suffering an image.

The mobile terminal according to the present invention provides a user interface that allows the user to immediately recognize the heat of the mobile terminal and to solve the cause of the heat only by simple user input.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

For this, in the mobile terminal according to the present invention, the step of sensing the temperature of the terminal main body (S410) proceeds.

In order to sense the temperature of the terminal body, the mobile terminal according to the present invention may include a temperature sensor. More specifically, the temperature sensor may be disposed at a position in contact with the wrist of the user, and may be arranged to sense the temperature of the surface of the body contacting the wrist of the user.

The temperature sensor senses the temperature of the main body at predetermined time intervals to form sensing information, and the controller 180 performs related control using sensing information formed from the temperature sensor.

More specifically, in the mobile terminal according to the present invention, when the temperature of the terminal is displayed on the touch screen 351 and the temperature of the terminal rises above a reference value, a step of displaying a message for guiding the temperature of the terminal is performed (S420) do.

Various screen information may be displayed on the touch screen 351. Specifically, the touch screen 351 may display a predetermined screen, a plurality of icons associated with a plurality of applications, an execution screen according to application execution, and the like.

The predetermined screen may be a default screen displayed on the touch screen 351 of the terminal. For example, the default screen may be a screen including time information, and a user may design a screen including the time information according to a user's taste.

On the default screen, a graphic object associated with an event generated in the application may be displayed. The user can directly execute the application through a touch on the graphic object associated with the event.

Meanwhile, in the mobile terminal of the present invention, a plurality of applications can be executed, and icons associated with the applications can be displayed on the touch screen 351. [ The user can execute the application by touching the icon. As the application is executed, the execution screen of the application can be displayed on the touch screen 351. [

As described above, various kinds of screen information can be displayed on the touch screen 351 of the present invention.

The controller 180 included in the mobile terminal of the present invention displays a message for guiding the temperature of the main body regardless of the type of screen information displayed on the touch screen 351 when the temperature of the main body exceeds the reference value Thereby controlling the touch screen 351.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when icons 510a to 510d associated with executable applications are displayed on the touch screen 351, when the temperature of the main body exceeds the reference value, (Hereinafter " message ") is displayed.

Meanwhile, the message 520 may be a warning message that does not include the temperature value of the main body but warns that the temperature of the main body is excessively high, though it is not shown in the figure. For example, the message may include a message that the temperature of the main body is too high!

On the other hand, the controller 180 can control the touch screen to continuously display the message even if the screen information displayed on the touch screen changes while the temperature of the main body is equal to or higher than the reference value.

As described above, the mobile terminal according to the present invention allows the user to recognize this fact while using the mobile terminal when the temperature of the main body is high enough to cause the user's image.

Meanwhile, the mobile terminal according to the present invention provides a user interface for identifying the cause of the heat generation of the terminal and solving the cause by only a simple user input.

To this end, in the mobile terminal according to the present invention, when a preset touch input is applied to the message for guiding the temperature, control corresponding to the screen information is performed (S430).

The message for guiding the temperature is always displayed in a part of the touch screen 351 when the temperature of the main body is equal to or higher than the reference value. Because of this, the use of the mobile terminal by the user may be hindered by the message guiding the temperature.

Specifically, the user can perform a desired function by touching a specific area of the touch screen 351. In a process of the user performing a specific function by touching the touch screen 351, The user can touch a message to guide the user. Accordingly, in the mobile terminal, control corresponding to the screen information is performed instead of a specific function that the user intends to perform originally.

In order to solve such a problem, the mobile terminal according to the present invention is configured such that, only when a touch object presses a specific area on the touch screen 351 displayed with a message for guiding the temperature to a predetermined pressure or higher, Control can be performed.

Here, the touch object may be a touchable object such as a finger, a touch pen, a stylus pen, or a pointer.

The touch screen 351 of the present invention may sense at least one of the pressure of the touch, the area of the touch, and the change of the capacitance applied through the touch object to detect the preset touch input.

To this end, the touch screen 351 of the present invention may further include a touch sensor and a touch pressure sensor.

The touch sensor 351 may be configured to detect a touch applied to the touch screen 351. In addition, the touch pressure sensor may be configured to sense a touch pressure and an area of a touch. That is, the touch pressure sensor detects the pressure of the touch and the area of the touch, thereby detecting the pressure applied to the touch screen by the touch object. The touch sensor and the touch pressure sensor may be respectively provided as separate sensors or integrally integrated. The touch sensor may be configured to detect a change in capacitance.

The controller 180 may determine the type of touch based on the input signals corresponding to at least one of the pressure and the capacitance change of the touch when sensing that the touch is applied to the touch screen. The kind of the touch can be classified according to the intensity of the pressure of the input signal corresponding to the pressure of the touch. More specifically, the types of touch include a first type in which an input signal corresponding to a change in capacitance of the touch and an input signal corresponding to a value less than a preset pressure are sensed, an input signal corresponding to a change in electrostatic capacity of the touch, And a second type in which an input signal corresponding to a value equal to or higher than a predetermined pressure is sensed may be included.

For example, as shown in the third diagram of FIG. 5, when the touch input 530 having a predetermined pressure or more is applied to the message 520, the controller 180 performs control corresponding to the screen information. Although not shown, when the touch input of a predetermined pressure or less is applied to the message 520, nothing happens.

Accordingly, the user can touch the touch screen 351 under a predetermined pressure to perform a desired function without being disturbed by the message for guiding the temperature.

On the other hand, the control may be a control associated with an application running on the mobile terminal.

In the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, at least one application may be installed. Here, the application may refer to an application program capable of executing functions that are executable on the mobile terminal.

The application may be installed at the factory of the mobile terminal, or may receive an executable file from an external server or an external terminal through wireless communication, and may be installed in the mobile terminal.

When the application is installed, an icon associated with the installed application may be displayed on the touch screen 351, and the user may touch the area on the touch screen 351 on which the icon is displayed to execute the application associated with the icon have.

On the other hand, when the application is executed, a certain portion of the CPU and memory built in the mobile terminal are used. The more work required to run an application, the more applications will use more CPU and memory.

On the other hand, as the CPU and memory usage of the mobile terminal increases, the calorific value of the mobile terminal increases. Therefore, as the application with a large amount of work is executed, the calorific value of the mobile terminal increases.

Meanwhile, a specific application performs wireless communication with an external device using the wireless communication unit of the mobile terminal. At this time, as the amount of data transmitted / received through the wireless communication with the external device increases, the amount of heat generated by the mobile terminal increases. Therefore, as the data usage of the running application increases, the amount of heat generated by the mobile terminal increases.

The mobile terminal according to the present invention guides an application directly causing heat generation of a terminal, that is, an application having a high CPU usage, memory usage, and data usage, thereby enabling a user to efficiently solve the cause of heat generation.

Specifically, the control unit 180 performs different controls according to the screen information displayed on the touch screen 351. Here, the screen information may be any one of a predetermined screen, a plurality of icons associated with a plurality of applications, and an execution screen according to application execution.

First, a case where the screen information is a plurality of icons associated with a plurality of applications will be described in detail.

The mobile terminal of the present invention may display a list of applications installed in the mobile terminal in response to a user request, and the list of applications may be composed of a plurality of icons 510a to 510d . The plurality of icons may include an icon corresponding to at least one application currently running and an icon corresponding to at least one application not running.

When a touch is applied to an icon associated with an application currently being executed, the execution screen of the application being executed is displayed on the touch screen 351. [ In addition, when a touch is given to an icon associated with an application that is not being executed, the application is executed.

If the screen information is the plurality of icons, the control unit 180 determines whether at least one of the icons corresponding to the application satisfying the preset condition, based on the predetermined touch input for the message for guiding the temperature, And controls the touch screen 351 so that the icon is highlighted.

Here, an application that satisfies the predetermined condition may be an application having at least one of CPU usage, memory usage, data usage, and power consumption among the running applications.

That is, the control unit 180 highlights an icon corresponding to the application causing the terminal heat generation among at least one application currently being executed.

For example, as shown in the third figure of FIG. 5, when the preset touch input is applied to the message 520 (530), an icon associated with a predetermined application is highlighted 540. 5, only one icon is highlighted, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The icon highlighted on the touch screen 351 may be one or more icons.

On the other hand, when highlighting a specific icon, the controller 180 may control the touch screen 351 to change the shape, shape, and color of the specific icon. The user can set the way the icon is highlighted. For example, the user can set the highlighted icon to be displayed in red.

Accordingly, the user can confirm the type of the application directly causing the heat generation of the terminal by only a simple touch input of the message for guiding the temperature.

Meanwhile, the mobile terminal of the present invention not only guides the type of application directly causing the heat generation of the terminal, but also solves the direct cause of the terminal heat by simple user input.

FIG. 6A is a conceptual diagram showing an embodiment of a mobile terminal according to the present invention which can terminate an application that directly causes heat generation in a mobile terminal. FIG. Fig. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.

The control unit 180 controls the touch screen 351 to display a selection window for allowing the application associated with the highlighted icon to be terminated based on the touch on the highlighted icon.

On the other hand, when a touch on the highlighted icon is applied, the control unit 180 controls the touch screen 351 to display information related to the application associated with the highlighted icon.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, when a touch is applied to the highlighted icon 610, the selection window 630 is displayed on the touch screen 351, and the type of application, CPU usage rate, data usage amount 620 ), And the expected temperature of the terminal upon termination of the application. This allows the user to see at a glance how much the application is affecting the heat of the terminal and to decide whether to terminate the application.

Although not shown, when no user input is applied within a predetermined time from the time when the selection window is displayed, or when a predetermined type of touch input (for example, a flicking touch input) is applied, The touch screen 351 can be controlled so that the execution screen of the application associated with the highlighted icon is displayed.

As described above, the mobile terminal according to the present invention outputs a selection window that allows the application to be terminated whenever a user request for displaying an execution screen of the application, which is a main cause of the heat generation of the terminal, is applied.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6B, the control unit 180 displays an execution screen 640 of the application associated with the icon on the basis of the touch of the icon (510b) other than the highlighted icon among the plurality of icons And controls the touch screen 351. That is, the mobile terminal according to the present invention displays the execution screen of the application irrespective of the terminal heat generation without any limitation.

As described above, the mobile terminal according to the present invention uses icons associated with a plurality of applications to guide a user to an application that is a main cause of heat generation, and can solve a heat generation problem by simple user input.

Hereinafter, a case where the predetermined touch input is applied to the message while a predetermined screen is displayed on the touch screen will be described.

7A to 7C are conceptual diagrams illustrating a case where a predetermined touch input is applied to a message for guiding a temperature of a predetermined screen displayed on a touch screen of a mobile terminal according to the present invention.

The list may include icons associated with the currently running application.

On the other hand, the controller 180 controls the touch screen 351 to display the expected temperature of the main body according to the termination of at least one application included in the list. If the list includes the icons, the expected temperature of the main body due to the termination of the application may be displayed overlapping with the icons.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the predetermined touch input is applied to the message for guiding the temperature, icons corresponding to currently running applications are displayed on the touch screen 351. [ At this time, the expected temperature of the main body according to the termination of the application is displayed (720a and 720b) on the icons.

Specifically, the phrase " 5 DEG C decrease " is overlaid on the icon associated with the currently executing healthcare application and displayed (720b). This allows the user to anticipate that the temperature of the terminal will decrease by about 5 degrees Celsius when terminating the healthcare application.

On the other hand, in order to calculate the expected temperature of the main body due to the termination of the application, the control unit 180 may store the temperature change of the main body according to the execution of the application. Specifically, the control unit 180 can store the temperature before the specific application starts to run and the temperature after the specific application starts to run and a certain time has elapsed. Particularly, when the specific application is not executed until the specific application starts to run and the predetermined time elapses before the specific application starts to be executed, the temperature change amount of the terminal due to the execution of the specific application can be accurately measured do.

The control unit 180 stores the temperature of the main body before and after the start of the application in the above-described manner, and calculates the expected temperature of the main body at the end of the application, using the stored temperature information of the main body.

Meanwhile, the controller 180 controls the touch screen 351 to display information related to the currently running applications in response to the middle user request in which the list is displayed. Specifically, the touch screen 351 may display a CPU usage rate, a memory usage rate, a data usage rate, and the like among applications being executed. Taking the CPU utilization as an example, the touch screen 351 may display the CPU usage rate of each of the running applications in the total CPU usage.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the flicking touch input 730 in which the list is displayed is applied, the application-specific CPU usage ratio 740a is displayed on the touch screen 351. Meanwhile, when a touch is applied to an area corresponding to a predetermined application while the CPU usage ratio is being displayed, specific information 760 related to the predetermined application is displayed as shown in the third figure of FIG. 7B, A selection window is displayed to allow the user to end the operation. The user can terminate the predetermined application by applying a touch to the selection window.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7C, the application-specific data usage ratio 770 can be displayed on the touch screen 351. [ As shown in FIG. 7B, the controller 180 may terminate the predetermined application based on the user input of the usage ratio while the data usage rate is being displayed.

As described above, the mobile terminal according to the present invention allows the user to check the effect of currently running applications on the heat generation of the terminal at a glance, and terminates the application causing the heat generation by a simple user input.
