Abstract: Disclosed herein is a mobile terminal capable of indicating the position of a force sensor arranged inside a side case using the shape of a non-conductive mold disposed between conductive members to sense pressure. For the mobile terminal, a user input unit and an antenna may be arranged to overlap each other, and a bump and a recess may be formed using a non-conductive mold that is easy to process. Accordingly, uniformity of appearance may be maintained without forming a bump and a recess on the conductive member.

Abstract: Disclosed is a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal may include a front camera obtaining a 2D face image of a user, a glance sensor tilted by a certain angle and disposed adjacent to the front camera to obtain metadata of the 2D face image, and a controller obtaining a distance between the glance sensor and the front camera, the distance enabling an area of an overlap region, where a first region representing a range photographable by the front camera overlaps a second region representing a range photographable by the glance sensor, to be the maximum.

Abstract: A mobile terminal and controlling method thereof are provided, which facilitates a terminal to be used in further consideration of user's convenience. Provided is a method of controlling an operation of a specific mobile terminal by forming a wireless communication group through a short range communication and then synthesizing analyses of motion patterns detected through mobile terminals belonging to the wireless communication group. Accordingly, in performing a function through a motion of each of a plurality of mobile terminals belonging to a single wireless communication group, a function is more accurately activated and accessibility to the function activation is improved, thereby enhancing user's convenience.
