A mobile terminal for providing information fit for an intention of a user using the mobile terminal in a deactivated state of a display, comprising: a display; a proximity sensor configured to sense a predetermined proximity of a user; an audio output unit; a microphone; and a controller configured to: - deactivate the display and enter the mobile terminal into a standby mode while maintaining the proximity sensor in an activated state, - in response to the proximity sensor sensing the predetermined proximity of the user, output first audio data through the audio output unit while the display is deactivated, the first audio data corresponding to information collected about a previous first event that occurred on the mobile terminal, - activate the microphone, - obtain a voice signal through the microphone, - convert the voice signal into text, - execute a function of a first application corresponding to the text, - in response to a proximity release of the user being sensed while outputting the first audio data, pause the output of the first audio data, - save information of the first event in a memory, and - exclude the information related to the first event when collecting information of events in the future. a display; a proximity sensor configured to sense a predetermined proximity of a user; an audio output unit; a microphone; and a controller configured to: - deactivate the display and enter the mobile terminal into a standby mode while maintaining the proximity sensor in an activated state, - in response to the proximity sensor sensing the predetermined proximity of the user, output first audio data through the audio output unit while the display is deactivated, the first audio data corresponding to information collected about a previous first event that occurred on the mobile terminal, - activate the microphone, - obtain a voice signal through the microphone, - convert the voice signal into text, - execute a function of a first application corresponding to the text, - in response to a proximity release of the user being sensed while outputting the first audio data, pause the output of the first audio data, - save information of the first event in a memory, and - exclude the information related to the first event when collecting information of events in the future. - deactivate the display and enter the mobile terminal into a standby mode while maintaining the proximity sensor in an activated state, - in response to the proximity sensor sensing the predetermined proximity of the user, output first audio data through the audio output unit while the display is deactivated, the first audio data corresponding to information collected about a previous first event that occurred on the mobile terminal, - activate the microphone, - obtain a voice signal through the microphone, - convert the voice signal into text, - execute a function of a first application corresponding to the text, - in response to a proximity release of the user being sensed while outputting the first audio data, pause the output of the first audio data, - save information of the first event in a memory, and - exclude the information related to the first event when collecting information of events in the future.
