Method for authenticating user using camera module and mobile terminal therefor

摘要

A mobile terminal authenticates a user using a camera module included therein. If a particular locked function is selected by a user, a controller enables the camera module and receives a motion pattern from the user through the camera module. The controller compares the motion pattern received through the camera module with a motion pattern previously stored in a memory and the controller unlocks the locked function and enables the corresponding function if the motion patterns are identical to each other.
