Terminal case, mobile terminal, and mobile terminal assembly including the terminal case and the mobile terminal

1. A mobile terminal assembly comprising:

a terminal case; and

a mobile terminal detachably coupled to the terminal case,

wherein the terminal case comprises:

a terminal coupling part covering rear surface of the mobile terminal; and

a front covering part covering a front surface of the mobile terminal and including a front incision part,

wherein the mobile terminal comprises:

a camera module for capturing images;

a display unit for displaying images transmitted from the camera module, wherein the front covering part is configured to selectively cover the display unit, wherein the display unit is configured to display a first user interface displaying information which is recognizable through the front incision part when the front covering part is oriented in a closed position, and wherein the display unit is further configured to display a second user interface displaying information which is recognizable through an entire area of the display unit when the covering part is oriented in an opened position;

a memory storing a camera application configured to control the camera module;

and

a control unit configured to control the display unit and the camera application,

wherein the display unit includes:

a first display area corresponding to the front incision part when the front covering part is oriented in the closed position; and

a second display area corresponding to the entire area thereof,

wherein, when the front covering part is oriented in the closed position, the camera application is configured to executed through the first user interface, such that an image captured by the camera module is displayed only through the first display area.

2. The mobile terminal assembly of claim 1 , wherein, when the camera application is executed when the front covering part is oriented in the closed position, and wherein a capture mode interface is displayed through the front incision part.

3. The mobile terminal assembly of claim 2 , wherein the capturing of the image by the camera module is initiated by a touch input to the capture mode interface.

4. The mobile terminal assembly of claim 3 , wherein the front incision part is defined as an opening portion which is formed by cutting a portion of the front covering part,

and wherein the capture mode interface is displayed on the display area corresponding to the front incision part.

5. The mobile terminal assembly of claim 2 , wherein, when the front covering part is moved to the opened position, the capture mode interface is configured to be displayed in the entire area of the display unit.

6. The mobile terminal assembly of claim 1 , wherein an image display and a touch input are restricted through an area other than an area corresponding to the first user interface when the first user interface is displayed.

7. The mobile terminal assembly of claim 6 , wherein pixels in an area other than the first display area are turned off when the first user interface is displayed.

8. The mobile terminal assembly of claim 1 further comprising;

a front cover sensing unit sensing whether the front covering part is opened or closed and controlling whether the first user interface or the second user interface is displayed.

9. The mobile terminal assembly of claim 1 , wherein a change of size or position of the first display area varies based on a change of size or position of the front incision part.

10. The mobile terminal assembly of claim 9 , wherein the change of size or position of the first display area is initiated by receiving a touch input signal for a movement or a size change of the graphics defining the first display area.

11. A mobile terminal comprising:

a camera;

a display unit; and

a memory storing a camera application configured to control the camera; and

a control unit configured to control the display unit and the camera application,

wherein the mobile terminal is configured to detachably couple with a terminal case comprising a front covering part covering and a front incision part,

wherein the front covering part is configured to selectively cover the display unit,

wherein the display unit is configured to display a first user interface viewable through the front incision part when the front covering part is in a closed position, and further configured to display a second user interface viewable through an entire area of the display unit when the front covering part is in an opened position, the display unit including a first display area corresponding to the front incision part when the front covering part is in the closed position and a second display area corresponding to the entire area thereof, and

wherein, the camera application is executable through the first user interface when the front covering part is in the closed position, such that an image captured by the camera is displayed through the first display area.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 11 , wherein the camera application is executable when a capture mode interface is displayed through the front incision part.

13. The mobile terminal of claim 12 , wherein the capturing of the image by the camera is initiated by a touch input to the capture mode interface.

14. The mobile terminal of claim 12 , wherein the capture mode interface is displayed over the entire area of the display unit when the front covering part is in the opened position.

15. The mobile terminal of claim 11 further comprising:

a front cover sensing unit configured to sense whether the front covering part is in the opened position or the closed position, and generating a signal that controls whether the first user interface or the second user interface is displayed.
