Abstract
A mobile terminal and a method for controlling the same are provided. The mobile terminal includes a terminal body, a wireless communication unit configured to connect a wireless device to the terminal body to perform wireless communication with the terminal body, a sensing unit sensing that the terminal body approaches a user's head in a state in which a call for the terminal body is set to be connected to the external device through wireless communication, and a controller configured to, when it is determined that the terminal body has approached the user's head within a reference range according to the sensing results, control the wireless communication unit to transfer the call from the external device to the terminal body.
