Provided is a mobile terminal including a main body, a sensing unit that senses wearing of the main body, movement information on a wearer, and a biological signal of the wearer, a user input unit into which a control command is input for activating either a recording mode or a control mode when the wearing of the main body is sensed, and a controller that, in the recording mode, records the movement information and the biological signal in a specific situation and stores a movement pattern that occurs in the specific situation and which, in the control mode, senses the movement information and the biological signal and when the already-stored movement pattern in the specific situation that corresponds to the movement information and the biological signal that are sensed is detected, provides a control command corresponding to the detected movement pattern to a connected external device.
