Selecting input/output components of a mobile terminal

A method comprising:

• determining a posture of a device, wherein the device includes:
• a first microphone at a first position on the device,
• a second microphone at a second position on the device,
• a first speaker at a third position on the device,
• a second speaker at a fourth position on the device, wherein the first, second, third, and fourth positions of the device are different positions;
• a first camera positioned at a rear surface of the device;
• and
• a second camera positioned at the rear surface of the device;
• determining whether a current mode of the device is a call mode;
• based on the determined posture and determining that the current mode is the call mode, selecting, by a controller of the device, among the first microphone at the first position on the device and the second microphone at a second position on the device;
• based on the determined posture and determining that the current mode is the call mode, selecting, by the controller of the device, among the first speaker at the third position on the device and the second speaker at a fourth position on the device;
• capturing a two-dimensional (2D) image through the first camera when the posture of the device is a pre-set first posture;
• and
• capturing a three-dimensional (3D) image through the first and second cameras when the posture of the device is a pre-set second posture, and wherein the pre-set first posture and the pre-set second posture are different each other.

A device comprising:

• a first camera positioned at a rear surface of the device;
• a second camera positioned at the rear surface of the device;
• a first microphone at a first position on the device;
• a second microphone at a second position on the device;
• a first speaker at a third position on the device;
• a second speaker at a fourth position on the device, wherein the first, second, third, and fourth positions of the device are different positions;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• determine whether a current mode of the device is a call mode, wherein each mode of the device is associated with one or more device states,
• determine a posture of the device, wherein each device state is associated with a posture of the device,
• select, based on the determined posture, a device state from among the one or more device states associated with determining that the current mode is the call mode,
• activate, based on the selected device state, one or more of the first microphone, the second microphone, the first speaker, and the second speaker,
• deactivate, based on the selected device state, one or more of the first microphone, the second microphone, the first speaker, and the second speaker,
• capture a two-dimensional (2D) image through the first camera when the posture of the device is a pre-set first posture, and
• capture a three-dimensional (3D) image through the first and second cameras when the posture of the device is a pre-set second posture, wherein the pre-set first posture and the pre-set second posture are different each other.
