1. An apparatus for controlling a vehicle based on rotation information of a mobile terminal, the apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a computer-readable medium in communication with the processor and storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to control the apparatus to perform:
receiving rotation information of a mobile terminal mounted on a steering wheel of the vehicle and configured to rotate alone or together with the steering wheel;
determining whether a rotation of the mobile terminal has occurred due to a rotation of the steering wheel;
in response to determining that the rotation of the mobile terminal has not occurred due to the rotation of the steering wheel, determining that a driver of the vehicle has intended to rotate the mobile terminal;
in response to determining that the driver of the vehicle has intended to rotate the mobile terminal, recognizing a view mode of the mobile terminal from the rotation information;
rendering a user interface (UI) for vehicle control according to the view mode of the mobile terminal; and
performing vehicle control in conjunction with the mobile terminal.
