A method for executing a menu in a mobile terminal characterized by : displaying a first screen on a display unit of the mobile terminal (S1); changing the first screen to a lock-up state in a case there is no touch input or a key input for a predetermined period of time (S200); detecting whether an audio output device connection signal is generated by an external audio output device being connected to the mobile terminal while the first screen is displayed (S3); releasing the lock-up state when the audio output device connection signal is generated in the lock-up state (S210); displaying a second screen including a broadcasting menu if the audio output device connection signal is generated (S5); detecting whether the external audio output device is disconnected from the mobile terminal while broadcast contents corresponding to the broadcasting menu are displayed; determining whether a function calling for an audio output is operated when the external audio output device is separated (S305); controllably allowing the operation to be driven in a preset audio output mode when it is determined that the function calling for an audio output is operated (S310); beginning to store the currently-displayed broadcast contents on a memory of the mobile terminal while displaying the broadcast contents when the external audio output device is disconnected; displaying a first notification message for indicating the broadcast contents being stored and a broadcasting storage bar for indicating an amount of storable broadcast contents, the first notification message and the status bar displayed on the first screen; detecting that the external audio output device is re-connected to the mobile terminal while the first screen is displayed; displaying a third screen including the stored broadcasting contents on the display unit; and displaying a storage broadcasting display icon on one side of the third screen . displaying a first screen on a display unit of the mobile terminal (S1); changing the first screen to a lock-up state in a case there is no touch input or a key input for a predetermined period of time (S200); detecting whether an audio output device connection signal is generated by an external audio output device being connected to the mobile terminal while the first screen is displayed (S3); releasing the lock-up state when the audio output device connection signal is generated in the lock-up state (S210); displaying a second screen including a broadcasting menu if the audio output device connection signal is generated (S5); detecting whether the external audio output device is disconnected from the mobile terminal while broadcast contents corresponding to the broadcasting menu are displayed; determining whether a function calling for an audio output is operated when the external audio output device is separated (S305); controllably allowing the operation to be driven in a preset audio output mode when it is determined that the function calling for an audio output is operated (S310); beginning to store the currently-displayed broadcast contents on a memory of the mobile terminal while displaying the broadcast contents when the external audio output device is disconnected; displaying a first notification message for indicating the broadcast contents being stored and a broadcasting storage bar for indicating an amount of storable broadcast contents, the first notification message and the status bar displayed on the first screen; detecting that the external audio output device is re-connected to the mobile terminal while the first screen is displayed; displaying a third screen including the stored broadcasting contents on the display unit; and displaying a storage broadcasting display icon on one side of the third screen . <EOS>
