Abstract: A mobile terminal is provided to address limitations of related art input systems. The mobile terminal includes a display unit, a support bracket including a support part configured to support a backside of the display unit and an extension part extending from the support part, a front window coupled with a front surface of the display unit and extension part, the front window including a rigid material, at least 3 front sensors located at the extension part of the support bracket, each generating a front force signal by receiving a front force applied to a prescribed point of the front window, and a controller measuring an applied point and magnitude of the front force through the front force signal generated by each of the at least 3 front sensors. When a force is applied, a location and magnitude of the force is measured and recognized as a classified input signal.
