Patent ID: 8229500

Claim:
A mobile terminal, comprising: a terminal body having a wireless communication module and a display; a camera body rotatably attached to the terminal body, the camera body being rotatable with respect to the terminal body in a first clockwise direction and in a second counterclockwise direction; a display mode controller configured to control the display such that a first available set of modes is outputted on the display when the camera body is rotated in the first direction, and a second available set of modes is outputted on the display when the camera body is rotated in the second direction; and a terminal body position sensing unit for sensing a position of the terminal body with respect to the ground when the camera body is rotated, and outputting capture-related control information displayed on the display in an upright state with respect to the ground, wherein the terminal body position sensing unit comprises: a geomagnetic sensor disposed in the terminal body for sensing terrestrial magnetism; and a controller for receiving a sensing signal from the geomagnetic sensor so as to properly orient the capture-related control information displayed on the display.
