A mobile terminal comprising: a display for displaying a plurality of objects on a touch screen, a sensing unit configured to detect a real touch on a surface contact point of the touch screen and a proximity touch of a pointer, and characterized by further comprising a controller configured to: display a screen for calibrating a recognition rate of the proximity touch; detect (S20) a real touch of the pointer on the screen of the touch screen; display (S21) a touch point corresponding to the real touch and a reference circle indicating a minimum proximity position, said minimum proximity position corresponding to a maximum height of a proximity touch of a pointer; if the pointer moves away from the touch screen, change the touch point to a guide circle ; increase (S23) or decrease the size of the guide circle according to an increase or decrease in the proximity distance of the pointer from the touch screen; compare (S24) the size of the guide circle and the size of the reference circle ; if the sizes of the guide circle and the reference circle are the same, recognize it as the minimum proximity position and set (S25) a capacitance value of the sensing unit corresponding to the minimum proximity position as a minimum capacitance value. a display for displaying a plurality of objects on a touch screen, a sensing unit configured to detect a real touch on a surface contact point of the touch screen and a proximity touch of a pointer, and characterized by further comprising a controller configured to: display a screen for calibrating a recognition rate of the proximity touch; detect (S20) a real touch of the pointer on the screen of the touch screen; display (S21) a touch point corresponding to the real touch and a reference circle indicating a minimum proximity position, said minimum proximity position corresponding to a maximum height of a proximity touch of a pointer; if the pointer moves away from the touch screen, change the touch point to a guide circle ; increase (S23) or decrease the size of the guide circle according to an increase or decrease in the proximity distance of the pointer from the touch screen; compare (S24) the size of the guide circle and the size of the reference circle ; if the sizes of the guide circle and the reference circle are the same, recognize it as the minimum proximity position and set (S25) a capacitance value of the sensing unit corresponding to the minimum proximity position as a minimum capacitance value. display a screen for calibrating a recognition rate of the proximity touch; detect (S20) a real touch of the pointer on the screen of the touch screen; display (S21) a touch point corresponding to the real touch and a reference circle indicating a minimum proximity position, said minimum proximity position corresponding to a maximum height of a proximity touch of a pointer; if the pointer moves away from the touch screen, change the touch point to a guide circle ; increase (S23) or decrease the size of the guide circle according to an increase or decrease in the proximity distance of the pointer from the touch screen; compare (S24) the size of the guide circle and the size of the reference circle ; if the sizes of the guide circle and the reference circle are the same, recognize it as the minimum proximity position and set (S25) a capacitance value of the sensing unit corresponding to the minimum proximity position as a minimum capacitance value. <EOS>
