A mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include an output unit formed to output a content; an analysis unit configured to monitor a time point where the reproduction of the content is paused and analyze the reproduction paused content when the reproduction of the content is paused; and a controller configured to determine a time point where the reproduction of the content is started based on the analysis result of the content when a control command for reproducing the content again is sensed. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A mobile terminal, comprising: an output unit formed to output a content; an analysis unit configured to monitor a time point where the reproduction of the content is paused and analyze the reproduction paused content when the reproduction of the content is paused; and a controller configured to determine a time point where the reproduction of the content is started based on the analysis result of the content when a control command for reproducing the content again is sensed. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the content comprises at least one of video data and audio data, and the output unit comprises: a display unit formed to output the video data; and an audio output unit formed to output the audio data. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The mobile terminal of claim 2, wherein the analysis unit analyzes the attribute of the content corresponding to a period from a time point where the reproduction of the content is paused to a preset time point. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein the controller detects time points where the attribute of the content is changed when a control command for reproducing the content again is sensed, and determines a time point the closest to the time point where the reproduction of the content is paused among the detected time points as a time point where the reproduction of the content is started. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the analysis unit analyzes objects contained in the video data corresponding to a period up to the preset time point to detect a time point where the scene is changed. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The mobile terminal of claim 5, wherein the controller determines a time point the closest to the time point where the reproduction of the content is paused among the scene changed time points as a time point where the reproduction of the content is started when a control command for reproducing the content again is sensed. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the analysis unit analyzes a change of at least one of an oscillation frequency, a wave shape and an amplitude of the audio data corresponding to the period up to the preset time point. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The mobile terminal of claim 7, wherein when a control command for reproducing the content again is sensed, the controller determines a time point the closest to the time point where the reproduction of the content is paused as a time point where the reproduction of the content is started among the time points where the background music is changed. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The mobile terminal of claim 7, wherein when reproduction is paused while outputting a word through the audio output unit, the controller determines a start time point of the word as a time point where the reproduction of the content is started. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein when a control command for reproducing the content again is sensed, the controller determines a time point where the reproduction of the content is started based on number-of-times information in which the reproduction of the content is paused. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The mobile terminal of claim 10, wherein when the number-of-times to information in which the reproduction of the content is paused corresponds to preset number-of-times information, the controller determines a time point where the reproduction of the content is paused as a time point where the reproduction of the content is started. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein when a control command for reproducing the content again is sensed, the controller determines a time where the reproduction of the content is started based on time information for which the reproduction of the content has been paused. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The mobile terminal of claim 12, wherein when the time information for which the reproduction of the content has been paused corresponds to preset time information, the controller determines a time point where the reproduction of the content is paused as a time point where the reproduction of the content is started. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein when a control command for reproducing the content again is sensed in case that the time point where the reproduction of the content is paused corresponds to a position located within a preset time point on the basis of the start time point of the content, the controller determines the start time point of the content as a time point where the reproduction of the content is started. ### Claim 15 A control method of a mobile terminal, the method comprising: outputting a content being reproduced; monitoring a time point where the reproduction of the content is paused and analyzing the reproduction paused content when the reproduction of the content is paused; and determining a time point where the reproduction of the content is started based on the analysis result of the content when a control command for reproducing the content again is sensed. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein said analyzing the reproduction paused content comprises: analyzing the attribute of the content corresponding to a period from a time point where the reproduction of the content is paused to a preset time point. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, wherein said determining a time point where the reproduction of the content is started comprises: detecting time points where the attribute of the content is changed when a control command for reproducing the content again is sensed; and determining a time point the closest to the time point where the reproduction of the content is paused among the detected time points as a time point where the reproduction of the content is started.
