Abstract

A wearable mobile terminal including a wireless communication processor configured to provide wireless communication; a display; a sensor configured to sense data including at least one of a heart rate, skin temperature, respiration volume and blood pressure of a first user wearing the mobile terminal; and a controller configured to identify an emotional state of the first user based on the data sensed by the sensor, and control the wireless communication processor to transmit a signal for notifying the emotional state of the first user to at least one or more predetermined external devices, in response to the identified emotional state corresponding to a predetermined emotional state.

Claims (28)

1. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a wireless communication processor configured to receive a signal from a first external device notifying an emotional state of a first user of the first external device;

a sensor configured to sense at least one of a movement and a slope of the mobile terminal;

a display;

a camera; and

a controller configured to:

activate the camera and display a preview image obtained by the activated camera, in response to the emotional state of the first user being a specific emotional state,

control the camera to capture the preview image in response to a predetermined condition, wherein the predetermined condition is determined based on the signal from the first external device and at least one of the movement and the slope of the mobile terminal, and

display an execution screen of an application on a first area of the display and display the preview image on a second area of the display when the signal from the first external device is received while the application is being executed on the mobile terminal.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to output information indicating the specific emotional state of the first user.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , further comprising:

an audio output module configured to output audio data indicating the specific emotional state of the first user, and

a haptic module configured to output vibration data indicating the specific emotional state of the first user.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to display information corresponding to the first user on the display.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein the predetermined condition for capturing the preview image corresponds to the mobile terminal moving in a direction of the first user of the first external device.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 5 , wherein the controller is configured to control the wireless communication processor to transmit the captured image to a predetermined second external device.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 5 , wherein the controller is configured to control the camera to capture the preview image many times with a constant time interval.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to display a Graphic User Interface (GUI) on the display including a menu option for sharing the captured image with a predetermined second external device.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein when the signal is received while the application is being executed on the mobile terminal, the controller is configured to display a Graphic User Interface (GUI) on the display indicating the emotional state of the first user including a menu option for notifying the emotional state of the first user to a predetermined external device.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication processor is configured to receive status information of a second external device,

wherein the controller is configured to display data on the display corresponding to the status information, and

wherein the status information of the second external device comprises execution information of a camera mounted on the second external device.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:

recognize an expression of a face contained in the preview image or the captured image,

display a Graphic User Interface (GUI) on the display for indicating whether to notify the emotional state corresponding to the recognized expression, and

control the wireless communication processor to transmit an information signal containing information on the emotional state corresponding to the recognized expression to the first external device.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the emotional state of the first user is based on at least one of a heart rate, skin temperature, respiration volume and blood pressure of the first user.
