A watch-type mobile terminal comprising: a touch screen configured to sense a touch gesture and output information; a force sensor configured to sense a force intensity of the touch gesture applied to the touch screen; an acceleration sensor configured to obtain a yaw value, a pitch value and a roll value; and a controller configured to: determine a direction and acceleration of the mobile terminal based on the yaw value, the pitch value and the roll value obtained from the acceleration sensor, and determine whether the touch screen is facing the user's eyes based on the determined direction of the mobile terminal, characterized in that the controller is further configured to: determine that the touch screen is facing the user's eyes if the mobile terminal faces a predetermined direction, set an activation threshold for the touch screen as a first value based on the determination that the touch screen is facing the user's eyes, set the activation threshold for the touch screen as a second value based on the determination that the touch screen is not facing the user's eyes, activate the touch screen when the acceleration of the mobile terminal is greater than or equal to an acceleration threshold or the force intensity of the touch gesture is greater than or equal to the activation threshold while the touch screen is in an inactive state, and change at least one of a brightness level, sound level or vibration level according to a change of the force intensity of the touch gesture while the touch screen is in an active state, such that the at least one of the brightness level, the sound level, or the vibration level is changed each time when the force intensity of the touch gesture is changed from one level to another level. a touch screen configured to sense a touch gesture and output information; a force sensor configured to sense a force intensity of the touch gesture applied to the touch screen; an acceleration sensor configured to obtain a yaw value, a pitch value and a roll value; and a controller configured to: determine a direction and acceleration of the mobile terminal based on the yaw value, the pitch value and the roll value obtained from the acceleration sensor, and determine whether the touch screen is facing the user's eyes based on the determined direction of the mobile terminal, determine a direction and acceleration of the mobile terminal based on the yaw value, the pitch value and the roll value obtained from the acceleration sensor, and determine whether the touch screen is facing the user's eyes based on the determined direction of the mobile terminal, characterized in that the controller is further configured to: determine that the touch screen is facing the user's eyes if the mobile terminal faces a predetermined direction, set an activation threshold for the touch screen as a first value based on the determination that the touch screen is facing the user's eyes, set the activation threshold for the touch screen as a second value based on the determination that the touch screen is not facing the user's eyes, activate the touch screen when the acceleration of the mobile terminal is greater than or equal to an acceleration threshold or the force intensity of the touch gesture is greater than or equal to the activation threshold while the touch screen is in an inactive state, and change at least one of a brightness level, sound level or vibration level according to a change of the force intensity of the touch gesture while the touch screen is in an active state, such that the at least one of the brightness level, the sound level, or the vibration level is changed each time when the force intensity of the touch gesture is changed from one level to another level. determine that the touch screen is facing the user's eyes if the mobile terminal faces a predetermined direction, set an activation threshold for the touch screen as a first value based on the determination that the touch screen is facing the user's eyes, set the activation threshold for the touch screen as a second value based on the determination that the touch screen is not facing the user's eyes, activate the touch screen when the acceleration of the mobile terminal is greater than or equal to an acceleration threshold or the force intensity of the touch gesture is greater than or equal to the activation threshold while the touch screen is in an inactive state, and change at least one of a brightness level, sound level or vibration level according to a change of the force intensity of the touch gesture while the touch screen is in an active state, such that the at least one of the brightness level, the sound level, or the vibration level is changed each time when the force intensity of the touch gesture is changed from one level to another level.
