Abstract

Provided is a mobile terminal including a display located at a first side of the mobile terminal and a second side of the mobile terminal facing the first side, and a controller configured to display content related to a first application in a first area of the display located at the first side, the content including at least one sub-content, identify one or more sub-contents of the at least one sub-content in response to a first input related to the one or more sub-contents being received, and display at least a portion of the identified one or more sub-contents in a second area of the display located at the second side.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mobile terminal comprising:
a display located at a first side of the mobile terminal and a second side of the mobile terminal facing the first side; and
a controller,
wherein the controller is configured to:
display content related to a first application at a first area of the display located at the first side, the content related to the first application including at least one sub-content;
identify one or more sub-contents of the at least one sub-content when a first input related to the one or more sub-contents is received on an area where the content related to the first application is displayed; and
display at least a portion of the identified one or more sub-contents at a second area of the display located at the second side,
wherein the at least one sub-content includes a plurality of sub-contents, and
wherein when the first input corresponds to a predetermined input, the controller is further configured to identify the plurality of sub-contents in response to the first input being received.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein when a pose of the mobile terminal corresponds to a predetermined range, the controller is further configured to display at least a portion of the one or more sub-contents at the second area of the display located at the second side.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to display recommended sub-content associated with the one or more sub-contents at a third area of the display located at the second side.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 3 , wherein the one or more sub-contents are provided by the first application, and
wherein the recommended sub-content is acquired from a server related to the mobile terminal based on a keyword corresponding to the one or more sub-contents.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 3 , wherein commission information is determined based on a period of time during which the recommended sub-content is displayed.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 3 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine commission information related to the first application based on a period of time during which the one or more sub-contents are displayed, and determine commission information related to the mobile terminal based on a period of time during which the recommended sub-content is displayed.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein when a second input corresponding to a keyword related to the one or more sub-contents is received, the controller is further configured to display, at the display located at the first side, recommended sub-content selected based on the keyword.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein when a second input corresponding to a keyword related to the one or more sub-contents is received, the controller is further configured to display predetermined alarm content at the display located at the first side, and
wherein when a third input corresponding to the predetermined alarm content is received, the controller is further configured to display, at the display located at the first side, recommended sub-content selected based on the keyword.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 8 , wherein the predetermined alarm content includes content corresponding to a type of the recommended sub-content.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein when another sub-content is displayed at the second area, the controller is further configured to identify a period of time during which display of the other sub-content is maintained at the second area in response to the first input being received, and
wherein when the identified period of time exceeds a predetermined period of time, the controller is further configured to suspend the display of the other sub-content and display at least a portion of the one or more sub-contents at the second area.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein, in response to the first input, the controller is further configured to omit displaying of the one or more sub-contents at the first area or display another content at the first area.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the content related to the first application includes video content, and
wherein the at least one sub-content includes advertisement content that is inserted in at least a portion of a period of time before a playback time of the video content, during the playback time or after the playback time, and displayed.

13. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sub-contents are moved at the display located at the first side based on reception of the first input.

14. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein, in response to the second area being located at the first side, the controller is further configured to display at least a portion of the one or more sub-contents at the display located at the first side.

15. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein when the mobile terminal is in a locked state, or when the display located at the first side is an activated state, the controller is further configured to display, at the display located at the second side, at least one of the one or more sub-contents, recommended sub-content associated with the one or more sub-contents, or predetermined advertisement content.

16. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the display includes:
a flexible display having a side located between the first side and the second side of the mobile terminal and wound around one side of the mobile terminal, and
wherein a size of the flexible display that is located at the first side is changed based on a control of the controller.

17. A mobile terminal comprising:
a display located at a first side of the mobile terminal and a second side of the mobile terminal facing the first side; and
a controller,
wherein the controller is configured to:
display content related to a first application at a first area of the display located at the first side, the content including at least one sub-content;
identify one or more sub-contents of the at least one sub-content in response to a first input related to the one or more sub-contents being received; and
display at least a portion of the identified one or more sub-contents at a second area of the display located at the second side,
wherein when a second input corresponding to a keyword related to the one or more sub-contents is received, the controller is further configured to display predetermined alarm content at the display located at the first side, and
wherein when a third input corresponding to the predetermined alarm content is received, the controller is further configured to display, at the display located at the first side, recommended sub-content selected based on the keyword.

18. The mobile terminal of claim 17 , wherein the predetermined alarm content includes content corresponding to a type of the recommended sub-content.

19. A mobile terminal comprising:
a display located at a first side of the mobile terminal and a second side of the mobile terminal facing the first side; and
a controller,
wherein the controller is configured to:
display content related to a first application at a first area of the display located at the first side, the content including at least one sub-content;
identify one or more sub-contents of the at least one sub-content in response to a first input related to the one or more sub-contents being received; and
