1. Field
This specification relates to a mobile terminal, and particularly, to a mobile terminal capable of controlling contents displayed on a display unit, and a control method thereof.
2. Background
Terminals may be divided into mobile/portable terminals and stationary terminals according to their mobility. Mobile terminals (mobile device, portable device, portable terminal) can be easily carried and have one or more of functions such as supporting voice and video telephony calls, inputting and/or outputting information, storing data and the like.
As it becomes multifunctional, the portable terminal can be allowed to capture still images or moving images, play music or video files, play games, receive broadcast and the like, so as to be implemented as a multimedia player. Various new attempts have been made for the multimedia devices by hardware or software in order to implement such complicated functions.
With the improvement, the terminal may output contents on a display unit. However, when an event is generated while the contents are output, it causes inconvenience in that at least part of a screen for displaying the contents is obscured to display information relating to the generated event.
When a user desires to view detailed information related to the generated event with a content display screen being output on the display unit, it causes user's inconvenience due to complicated manipulations.
