Claim:
1. A mobile terminal comprising: an electrostatic touchscreen; and a controller configured to enter a water mode, in which a touch control function of the touchscreen is deactivated, when a capacitance value detected through the touchscreen or a variation of a per-region capacitance value detected through the touchscreen meets a first condition, wherein the first condition is met when at least one of the following is detected: capacitance of each prescribed region on the touch screen is equal to or smaller than a preset value, a capacitance difference between prescribed regions on the touchscreen is less than or equal to a preset value and a difference between a capacitance value of a region having a maximum capacitance value and a capacitance value of a region having a minimum capacitance value among the prescribed regions on the touchscreen is less than or equal to a preset value, wherein when the capacitance value detected through the touchscreen or the variation of a per-region capacitance value detected through the touchscreen meets a second condition, the controller is configured to enter a normal mode in which the touch control function of the touchscreen is activated, and wherein when the second condition is met while a specific function is currently active in the water mode, the controller is further configured to maintain the state of the mobile terminal in the water mode.
