Abstract

A method for controlling screen rotation for use in a mobile terminal is provided. The method includes: when the mobile terminal enters a full-screen mode, locking a screen orientation of the mobile terminal, and acquiring an initial posture of the mobile terminal; monitoring a real-time posture of the mobile terminal in real time; and determining a screen rotation direction by comparing the real-time posture with the initial posture.
