Patent ID: 8306524

Claim:
A method for controlling a mobile terminal that includes at least one camera, comprising: operating at least one clock at first and second frequencies; determining wireless signal reception sensitivities of the mobile terminal at the first and second frequencies; comparing the wireless signal reception sensitivities; determining that one of the first or second frequencies does not lower wireless signal reception sensitivity for a searched wireless channel; and operating the camera at the first frequency or the second frequency determined not to lower wireless signal reception sensitivity for the searched wireless channel, wherein: the at least one clock is operated at the first and second frequencies before the mobile terminal enters a camera mode, the camera is operated at the first frequency or the second frequency determined not to lower wireless signal reception sensitivity for the searched wireless channel when the mobile terminal is in camera mode, and when a difference between the wireless signal reception sensitivities at the first and second frequencies is less than a predetermined value, the method includes: operating the camera at a third frequency which produces a wireless signal reception sensitivity lower than the wireless signal reception sensitivities produced at each of the first and second frequencies, wherein the third frequency is determined based on at least one of a a mode of the camera or a setting of the camera.
