Abstract

The present disclosure provides a mobile terminal comprising: a wireless communication unit for receiving an image acquired by a camera mounted on an external device; a display unit for outputting the image and receiving a first touch input that is continuously applied for transmitting a wireless signal for changing the capturing range of the camera; and a control unit for switching the image to a control screen for receiving a second touch input for controlling the external device when the capturing range of the camera based on the first touch input reaches a preset limited range. The control unit controls the display unit to switch the image to the control screen in a continuous manner on the basis of the direction of the continuous first touch input.
