Abstract:
An operation mode conversion device, a mobile communication terminal having the same and a method for converting the operation mode are provided. According to an embodiment, a user interface element is provided with an input unit configured to generate a signal to switch a current operation mode to a selected operation mode upon being pressed by a user, the selected operation mode being set with respect to a position on the input unit, and a display area is located at a central portion of the input unit, the display area being configured to output information about the selected operation mode. The user can quickly perform menu navigation to convert the operation mode as desired, the information about the converted operation mode is conveniently viewed, and the overall size of the mobile phone can be minimized.
