Problems solved by technology

[0007] First, time is wasted because the user must repeatedly tap the navigation buttons 100 to move through one or more menus, or to search for the desired item
[0008] Second, repeatedly clicking the navigation button 100 times is very monotonous
[0009] Third, the user must repeatedly press the navigation button 100 to navigate to the location of the multimedia file to be retrieved
This also causes inconvenience to users

Abstract

A mobile terminal having a scroll wheel device and a method for implementing functions using the same are disclosed. The mobile terminal having a scroll wheel device includes a display, the scroll wheel device that senses a user's wheeling operation, a memory that stores data having different menus and associated user interface screens, and a controller that calculates a wheeling distance corresponding to the wheeling operation sensed by the scroll wheel device, searches the data from the memory that corresponds to a menu associated with a wheeling distance range of the calculated wheeling distance, searches the data from the memory that corresponds to a user interface screen associated with the menu, and outputs a first control signal to the display to display the user interface screen. Therefore, it is possible to quickly search menus and conveniently implement the specific function using the scroll wheel device. Also, it is possible to implement the specific function using the scroll wheel device without clicking the function key as the case may be. The scroll wheel could be a touch wheel including a heat sensor. The controller outputs a second control signal when the user releases contact with the touch wheel device.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2005-0040736 filed May 16, 2005, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0002] The present disclosure relates to mobile terminals, and more particularly, to a mobile terminal having a scrolling device for quickly and conveniently searching a menu or realizing a specific function and a method for implementing functions using the same. [0003] The general trend is to provide control devices to mobile terminals with one or more functions, such as mobile communication, games, MP3, digital camera and digital broadcast reception. In particular, with the advancement of wireless telecommunication technology, mobile communication terminals are now equipped with various functions. For example, typical mobile communication terminals on the market provide various functions for multimedia files, such as the function of sending and receiving Multimedia Message System (M...
