Abstract

According to the present disclosure, a mobile terminal comprises: a display unit; a sensing unit configured to sense a code scanning situation indicating the situation in which a code scanner scans a code; and a controller configured to control the display unit to automatically display a code for a first payment task when the code scanning situation is sensed and adjust a direction in which the code is displayed according to a direction of light outputted from the code scanner.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A mobile terminal, comprising:
a display unit; a sensing unit configured to sense a code scanning situation indicating the situation in which a code scanner scans a code; and a controller configured to control the display unit to automatically display a code for a first payment task when the code scanning situation is sensed and adjust a direction in which the code is displayed according to a direction of light outputted from the code scanner.

2 . The mobile terminal of claim 1 ,
wherein the controller is configured to automatically perform a second payment task associated with the first payment task, if the first payment task is completed via recognition of the code.

3 . The mobile terminal of claim 2 ,
wherein the controller is configured to determine that the first payment task is completed, if a variation of an amount of light outputted from the code scanner is equal to or more than a predetermined amount.

4 . The mobile terminal of claim 2 , further comprising a microphone,
wherein the controller is configured to determine that the first payment task is completed, if an audio inputted in the microphone is a predetermined audio.

5 . The mobile terminal of claim 4 wherein the controller is configured to determine that the first payment task is completed, if the audio inputted in the microphone is a predetermined audio, and the variation of an amount of light outputted from the code scanner is equal to or more than a predetermined amount.

6 . The mobile terminal of claim 1 ,
wherein the sensing unit includes at least one of a front camera installed on a front surface of the mobile terminal, an illumination sensor for measuring an intensity of the light, and an optical sensor embedded in the display unit.

7 . The mobile terminal of claim 6 wherein the controller is configured to determine that the code scanning situation is sensed, if the intensity of the light measured via the illumination sensor is equal to or more than a predetermined intensity, or a shape of the light received via the front camera is a predetermined shape.

8 . The mobile terminal of claim 2 ,
wherein one of the first and second payment tasks is one of tasks for payment for goods, discount benefits, or collection of loyalty points.

9 . A mobile terminal, comprising:
a display unit configured to display a code for performing a first payment task; a sensing unit configured to sense a code scanning situation indicating a situation in which a code scanner scans a code; and a controller configured to control the display unit to automatically display the code by enlarging the code, if the code scanning situation is sensed.

10 . The mobile terminal of claim 9 ,
wherein the controller is configured to adjust a direction in which the code is displayed according to a direction of light outputted from the code scanner while enlarging the code.

11 . The mobile terminal of claim 10 ,
wherein the controller is configured to automatically perform a second payment task associated with the first payment task, if the first payment task is completed via recognition of the code.

12 . The mobile terminal of claim 11 ,
wherein the controller is configured to determine that the first payment task is completed, if the variation of an amount of light outputted from the code scanner is equal to or more than a predetermined amount, and an audio inputted in a microphone installed in the mobile phone is a predetermined audio.

13 . The mobile terminal of claim 9 ,
wherein the sensing unit includes at least one of a front camera installed on a front surface of the mobile terminal, an illumination sensor configured to measure an intensity of the light, and an optical sensor embedded in the display unit.

14 . The mobile terminal of claim 13 wherein the controller is configured to determine that the code scanning situation is sensed, if the intensity of the light measured via the illumination sensor is equal to or more than a predetermined intensity, or a shape of the light received via the front camera is a predetermined shape.

15 . The mobile terminal of claim 9 ,
wherein the controller is configured to automatically perform a plurality of predetermined payment tasks, if the first payment task is completed.
