Abstract
A mobile terminal may activate a specific mode on the basis of an external input received through a microphone activated on the basis of a specific condition. The mobile terminal includes a terminal body, a microphone disposed on the terminal body and configured to receive an input outside of the terminal body, a sensor configured to sense a movement of the terminal body, and a controller configured to activate the microphone on the basis of a specific movement of the terminal body sensed by the sensor, and activate a specific mode when the input outside of the terminal body received through the activate microphone corresponds to a change in vibration of air having a preset pattern.
