Patent ID: 7603149

Claim:
A mobile terminal, comprising: a terminal body including a microphone; a display device, including a display window disposed on a first surface thereof, rotatably coupled to the terminal body so as to be rotatable about an axis that extends substantially parallel to an upper surface of the terminal body and about an axis substantially perpendicular to the upper surface of the terminal body; a first receiver disposed on the first surface of the display device to output audio signals when the display device is in an unfolded first position; a second receiver disposed on the first surface of the display device to output audio signals when the display device is in a folded second position; and a controller that controls the microphone, the first receiver, and the second receiver during a call when die display device is in the second position, wherein the controller comprises: a sensor that senses when the display device is in the second position, wherein the controller that controls an amplification factor of an audio signal input into the microphone and selectively connects one of the first receiver and the second receiver to an audio path according to a signal applied from the sensor, and wherein the sensor comprises: a magnet that generates a magnetic field; a first sensor that senses a magnetic field of the magnet when the display device is in a third position in which the display window is folded over a keypad, and that applies a corresponding signal to the controller; and a second sensor that senses a magnetic field of the magnet when the display device is in the second position.
