Patent ID: 8159476

Claim:
A mobile terminal, comprising: a display unit for displaying a selection indicator; an input unit comprising a rotary type input device, which is rotated and moved in one or more directions, and configured to set sensitivity information indicating a sensitivity when the rotary type input device is rotated and moved, the rotary type input device including a plurality of locknuts defining basic rotation angles, each locknut having a magnetic field, and a sensor unit generating rotation signals when the sensor unit is magnetically coupled to at least one of the locknuts; and a controller for sensing the rotary movement of the rotary type input device and controlling movement of the selection indicator, based on the sensitivity information set by the input unit, wherein the controller is configured to display a menu including a plurality of sensitivity information, wherein the sensitivity information includes a basic rotation recognition angle at which the controller recognizes a basic input signal, wherein the basic rotation recognition angle is an integer times the basic rotation angle, and wherein the controller is configured to change the basic rotation recognition angle through the menu.
