Abstract

A watch-type mobile terminal may include a display unit; and a controller coupled to the display unit, wherein the controller is configured: in response to the watch-type mobile terminal being paired with a further watch-type mobile terminal, to control the display unit to display an emotional message composition screen thereon; to control the watch-type mobile terminal to receive a message via touch input; to control the display unit to display the received message on the emotional message composition screen; and to control the watch-type mobile terminal to transmit the message to the further watch-type mobile terminal.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A watch-type mobile terminal comprising:
a display unit; and
a controller operably coupled to the display unit,
wherein the controller is configured:
in response to being paired with a further watch-type mobile terminal, to display an emotional message composition screen;
to receive a message via touch input;
to display the received message on the emotional message composition screen;
to transmit the message to the further watch-type mobile terminal; and
to control the display unit such that the emotional message composition screen has a fisheye lens effect,
wherein the emotional message composition screen includes a virtual front face and a virtual rear face, and
wherein the controller is further configured to display the message in the virtual front face.

2. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to delete the message in response to receiving a flicking input that functions to cancel composition of the message.

3. The terminal of claim 2 , wherein the controller is further configured to delete the message in response to receiving the flicking input functioning to move up a touch input point on the emotional message composition screen.

4. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to transmit a message composition completion signal to the further watch-type mobile terminal, in response to receiving a flicking input indicating a message composition completion request, wherein the message composition completion signal indicates that composition of the message has been completed.

5. The terminal of claim 4 , wherein the controller is further configured to transmit the message composition completion signal to the further watch-type mobile terminal, in response to receiving a flicking input functioning to move a touch input point on the emotional message composition screen in a left or right direction.

6. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the transmission of the message composition completion signal to the further watch-type mobile terminal is triggered when a movement distance of the touch input point is equal to or greater than a predetermined distance.

7. A watch-type mobile terminal comprising:
a display unit; and
a controller operably coupled to the display unit,
wherein the controller is configured:
in response to being paired with a further watch-type mobile terminal, to display an emotional message receiving screen;
to receive a message from the further watch-type mobile terminal being paired;
to display the received message on the emotional message receiving screen; and
to control the display unit such that the emotional message composition screen has a fisheye lens effect,
wherein the emotional message composition screen includes a virtual front face and a virtual rear face, and
wherein the controller is further configured to display the message in the virtual front face.

8. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured:
to receive a message composition completion signal from the further watch-type mobile terminal, and
to output a message composition completion notification based on receiving of the message composition completion signal.

9. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured to display the received message on the virtual front face of the emotional message receiving screen, in response to receiving an entire message output request.

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to display the received message on the virtual front face of the emotional message receiving screen, in response to receiving a flicking input functioning to move a touch input point on the emotional message receiving screen in a left or right direction.

11. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured to display an emotional message switching screen, in response to being paired with the further watch-type mobile terminal, wherein the emotional message switching screen contains a portion of a screen of a currently-executed application and a portion of the emotional message receiving screen.

12. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured to switch a screen of a currently-executed application to the emotional message receiving screen, in response to being paired with the further watch-type mobile terminal.
