Abstract

A mobile terminal including a memory configured to store card information; a wireless communication unit configured to communicate with a payment terminal; a display having at least one side curved to be divided into a front part and an edge part; and a controller configured to in response to the payment terminal being detected, display a first card object on the edge part of the display, and transmit card information of a card associated with the first card object to the payment terminal in response to a touch input of the first card object.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A mobile terminal comprising:
a memory configured to store card information; a wireless communication unit configured to communicate with a payment terminal; a display having at least one side curved to be divided into a front part and an edge part; and a controller configured to: in response to the payment terminal being detected, display a first card object on the edge part of the display, and transmit card information of a card associated with the first card object to the payment terminal in response to a touch input of the first card object.

2 . The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to display payment information on the front part of the display.

3 . The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the front part and the edge part of the display configures a layered structure with a fingerprint recognition sensor.

4 . The mobile terminal of claim 3 , wherein in response to a valid fingerprint being input through the fingerprint recognition sensor, the controller is further configured to transmit the card information to the payment terminal.

5 . The mobile terminal of claim 4 , wherein in response to the valid fingerprint, the controller is further configured to output a feedback of a first type, and
wherein in response to an invalid fingerprint input, the controller is further configured to output a feedback of a second type.

6 . The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein in response to the card information of a plurality of cards being stored in the memory, the first card object corresponds to one of a default card set, a most frequently used card and a most recently used card among the plurality of the cards stored in the memory.

7 . The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein in response to recommended card information being received from the payment terminal, the controller is further configured to display the first card object that matches the recommended card information on the edge part.

8 . The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein in response to a first drag input of dragging to move a pointer currently touching the first card object in a first direction, the controller is further configured to display a second card object classified into the same category of the first card object, and
wherein in response to a second drag input of dragging to move the pointer currently touching the first card object in a second direction is received, the controller is further configured to display a third card object classified into a category different from the first card object.

9 . The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein in response to a result message for approving a payment using the card information being received from the payment terminal, the controller is further configured to display a signature input box for inputting a signature on the front part.

10 . The mobile terminal of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to transmit signature information input through the signature input box to the payment terminal.

11 . The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to display a keypad for inputting a password on the edge part in response to the touch input, and
wherein in response to a valid password being input through the keypad, the controller is further configured to transmit the card information to the payment terminal.

12 . The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein in response to a plurality of card objects being displayed on the edge part, the controller is further configured to transmit the card information of a plurality of cards respectively corresponding to the plurality of the card objects to the payment terminal in response to the touch input.

13 . The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the touch input comprises a drag input of dragging to move a pointer currently touching the first card object in a prescribed direction.

14 . The mobile terminal of claim 13 , wherein in response to the pointer being released from a first region on the edge part, the controller either broadcasts or buffers the card information.

15 . The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the first card object comprises at least one of a name of a card associated with the first card object, a logo, a card company name, a card number, a card image of imaging the card, and a card icon.

16 . A method of controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
storing, via a memory, card information; communicating, via a wireless communication unit, with a payment terminal; in response to the payment terminal being detected, display a first card object to on an edge part of a display having at least one side curved to be divided into a front part and the edge part; and transmitting, via the wireless communication unit, card information of a card associated with the first card object to the payment terminal in response to a touch input of the first card object.

17 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising:
display payment information on the front part of the display.

18 . The method of claim 16 , wherein at least one of the front part and the edge part of the display configures a layered structure with a fingerprint recognition sensor.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein in response to a valid fingerprint being input through the fingerprint recognition sensor, the method further comprises transmitting the card information to the payment terminal.

20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein in response to the valid fingerprint, the method further comprises outputting a feedback of a first type, and
wherein in response to an invalid fingerprint input, the method further comprises outputting a feedback of a second type.
