1. A mobile terminal, comprising: a communication module; a microphone configured to receive a voice input; a key input unit; a first camera module fixedly located on a back side of the mobile terminal and configured to capture an image of an object facing the back side of the mobile terminal during a camera mode and to capture video of an object facing the back side of the mobile terminal during a video mode; a second camera module fixedly located on a front side of the mobile terminal and configured to capture an image of an object facing the front side of the mobile terminal during the camera mode and to capture video of an object facing the front side of the mobile terminal during the video mode; a switch selectively coupled to the first camera module via a first data path and the second camera module via a second data path; and a control unit coupled to the switch via a first outgoing control signal path and via an incoming data path, and being further coupled to the first and second camera modules via a second outgoing control signal path, wherein the control unit is configured to: receive a first user input in response to manipulation of the key input unit selecting either the camera mode or the video mode; when the first user input is for the camera mode, the control unit outputs a first signal to the first camera module via the second outgoing control signal path to activate the first camera module to function as an image camera and outputs a second signal to the switch via the first outgoing control signal path to cause the switch to couple to the first camera module to receive image data via the first data path; when the first user input is for the video mode, the control unit outputs a first signal to the second camera module via the second outgoing control signal path to activate the second camera module to function as a video camera and outputs a second signal to the switch via the first outgoing control signal path to cause the switch to couple to the second camera module to receive video data via the second data path; receive a second user input; when the second user input is received while in the camera mode, the control unit outputs a third signal to the first camera module via the second outgoing control signal path to deactivate the first camera module and outputs a fourth signal to the switch via the first outgoing control signal path to cause the switch to couple to the second camera module to receive image data via the second data path; and when the second user input is received while in the video mode, the control unit outputs a third signal to the second camera module via the second outgoing control signal path to deactivate the second camera and outputs a fourth signal to the switch via the first outgoing control signal path to cause the switch to couple to the first camera module to receive video data via the first data path.
