MOBILE TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal and a method for controlling the same. The present invention determines whether received touch input is touch input by a finger of a user and, when a function executed by the touch input requires authentication, provides a user interface necessary for authentication differently according to whether the touch input is touch input by the user's finger. Accordingly, fingerprint authentication is processed as necessary, thereby improving processor efficiency.

1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
a touchscreen configured to sense touch inputs; and a controller configured to determine whether a touch input is an input using a finger of a user, wherein, when the touch input is determined to be a touch input using a user's finger and a function associated with the touch input requires authentication, a prescribed user interface for authentication is provided, the prescribed user interface for authentication when the touch input is an input using a user's finger being different than a user interface for authentication when the touch input is not an input using a user's finger.
