Mobile terminal operating based on use pattern and controlling method thereof

摘要

A mobile terminal and controlling method thereof are disclosed, which facilitates a terminal to be used in further consideration of user's convenience. The present invention includes a sensing unit including at least one sensor and a controller analyzing a user's mobile terminal use pattern based on a sensing signal received through the at least one sensor, the controller controlling a power of the at least one sensor based on the use pattern and a remaining power of the mobile terminal. Accordingly, powers of a plurality of sensors can be efficiently controlled based on a user's use pattern and/or a remaining power level. And, a user can activate a specific application and/or view a content with ease in a manner of analyzing a user's use pattern for a mobile terminal and then estimating and providing an application and/or a content necessary for the user based on a result of the analysis.

主权项

1. A mobile terminal comprising:
a sensor; a touchscreen capable of displaying contents; and a controller capable of:
identifying a location of the mobile terminal and determining whether the location is a new location or a previous location of the mobile terminal;causing the sensor to be activated to sense use patterns and storing the use patterns in a database of a server in communication with the mobile terminal when the location of the mobile terminal is a new location and a remaining power level of the mobile device exceeds a threshold level;causing the sensor to be deactivated when the location of the mobile terminal is a previous location or a remaining power level of the mobile device does not exceed a threshold level;identifying a user's use pattern of the mobile terminal based on stored use patterns of the database;setting a circumstance cognitive level per specific area based on a power consumption level used in the specific area;controlling a function of the sensor based on the use pattern and the power consumption level of the mobile terminal; andcontrolling the touchscreen to display:a current remaining power level of the mobile terminal and information indicating a power consumption estimated according to the circumstance cognitive level setting,a recommended application or recommended content based on the use pattern when a current location of the mobile terminal is within a threshold range of a previous location wherein the use pattern comprises information related to the recommended application which was executed when the mobile terminal was positioned at the previous location or the recommended content which was displayed when the mobile terminal was positioned at the previous location, anda recommended application or recommended content based on the use pattern when a current time is within a threshold range of a particular time of a previous day wherein the use pattern comprises information related to the recommended application which was executed at the particular time of the previous day or content which was displayed at the particular time of the previous day.
