Mobile terminal comprising rotary type input device and method of setting sensitivity using the same

A mobile terminal, comprising:

• an input unit comprising a rotary type input device that is rotated and moved in one or more directions;
• a display unit for displaying a selection indicator that is moved according to the rotary movement of the rotary type input device;
• and
• a controller for variably controlling a moving speed of the selection indicator based on a speed at which the rotary type input device is rotated and moved.

A mobile terminal, comprising:

• an input unit comprising a rotary type input device, which is rotated and moved in one or more directions and generates rotation signals every specific angles;
• a display unit for displaying a selection indicator that is moved according to the rotation signals of the rotary type input device;
• a memory unit for sequentially storing the generated rotation signals;
• and
• a controller for controlling specific rotation signals, which are not processed, of the rotation signals stored in the memory unit to be deleted so that the selection indicator is moved when the rotary movement of the rotary type input device s finished.

A method of setting a sensitivity of a rotary type input device, comprising:

• setting sensitivity information when the rotary type input device that is rotated and moved in one or more directions is rotated and moved;
• displaying a selection indicator;
• and
• sensing the rotary movement of the rotary type input device and moving and displaying the selection indicator, based on the sensitivity information.

A method of setting a sensitivity of a rotary type input device, comprising:

• displaying a selection indicator;
• sequentially storing rotation signals, which are generated when the rotary type input device for moving the selection indicator is rotated and moved;
• and
• if the rotary movement of the rotary type input device is finished, controlling specific ones of the stored rotation signals, which are not processed, to be deleted so that the selection indicator is moved.
