Abstract

The disclosure relates to a mobile terminal communicable with a glass-type terminal and a method for controlling the same. The mobile terminal comprises a wireless communication unit configured to communicate with a glass-type terminal, a display unit configured to display visual information, and a controller configured to transmit output-limited information having a limitation in output on the display unit to the glass-type terminal so that the output-limited information may be output on the glass-type terminal when the mobile terminal is in communication with the glass-type terminal.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
a wireless communication unit configured to communicate with a glass-type terminal;
a display unit configured to display visual information; and a controller configured to:
control the display unit to display a plurality of image files included in a gallery and at least one graphic object,
wherein the at least one graphic object corresponds to at least one image file included in the gallery,
wherein the at least one image file is a security information requiring user authentication and limited in output, and
wherein the at least one graphic object is displayed for the at least one image file indicating that the output, of the at least one image file is limited while the user authentication is not processed in the mobile terminal;

determine whether the glass-type terminal and the mobile terminal are communicating with each other; and
control the display unit to display the at least one image on a region that the at least one graphic object is displayed based on the communication between the glass-type terminal and the mobile terminal,
wherein the at least one graphic object displayed on the region is switched into the at least one image file based on the communication between the glass-type terminal and the mobile terminal, and
wherein the at least one image file disappears from the region and the at least one graphic object appears on the region when the communication between the mobile terminal and the glass-type terminal is terminated,
wherein when a function associated with security information corresponding to one of the at least one image file is executed based on a user's touch input on one of the at least one graphic object, the controller is configured to transmit screen information on the function to the glass-type terminal so that the screen information on the function may be output on the glass-type terminal.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein when a function associated with one of the at least one graphic object is executed, the controller is configured to limit the output of screen information corresponding to execution of the function on the display unit.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the graphic object is output in the region corresponding to a position where the security information corresponding to the at least one image file is predicted to be output on regions of the display unit.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein when the mobile terminal is in a locked state where a user's reception of a control command is limited, the controller is configured to release the locked state based on an unlocking signal received from the glass-type terminal.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 4 , wherein when the locked state is released based on the unlocking signal received from the glass-type terminal, the controller is configured to output a list corresponding to at least one function performed in interoperation with the glass-type terminal.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 5 , wherein when any one item is selected from the list, the controller is configured to transmit information relating to the selected item to the glass-type terminal so that a function relating to the selected item is executed.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 4 , wherein the unlocking signal is generated based on the mobile terminal accessing the glass-type terminal to be able to perform data communication.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 7 , wherein when the communication with the glass-type terminal is in pause, the controller is configured to switch back to the locked state.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein when information displayed on the display unit is varied and the security information is included in the varied information, the controller is configured to control the wireless communication unit so that the security information corresponding to the varied information is transmitted to the glass-type terminal.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to limit the output of at least part of information that may be output on the display unit by a user's selection.
