Mobile terminal and method for controlling camera-mounted external device
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a wireless communication unit capable of receiving an image obtained by a camera mounted on an external device wirelessly connected to the mobile terminal;
a display unit capable of outputting the image, and receiving a first touch input applied thereto to transmit a wireless signal for changing a capturing range of the camera; and
a controller capable of;
switching the image into a control screen adapted to receive a second touch input for controlling the external device, when the capturing range of the camera reaches a preset limit, andin response to receiving the second touch input, controlling the external device without changing the capturing range of the camera or otherwise moving the camera,wherein the controller controls the display unit to switch the image into the control screen in a continuous form based on a direction of the applied first touch input, andwherein the controller controls the display unit to enlarge the image captured by the camera when a touch input is applied to the image captured by the camera.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides a mobile terminal comprising: a wireless communication unit for receiving an image acquired by a camera mounted on an external device; a display unit for outputting the image and receiving a first touch input that is continuously applied for transmitting a wireless signal for changing the capturing range of the camera; and a control unit for switching the image to a control screen for receiving a second touch input for controlling the external device when the capturing range of the camera based on the first touch input reaches a preset limited range. The control unit controls the display unit to switch the image to the control screen in a continuous manner on the basis of the direction of the continuous first touch input.

12. A control system, comprising:
-
an external device including a camera, the camera being capable of generating an image by capturing an external environment; and a mobile terminal capable of receiving the image, wherein the external device is wirelessly connected to the mobile terminal, wherein the mobile terminal comprises; a wireless communication unit capable of receiving a wireless signal associated with the image; a display unit capable of outputting the image and receiving a first touch input for adjusting a capturing range of the camera; and a controller capable of controlling the display unit to output a control screen when the capturing range reaches a limit, the control screen being adapted to receive a second touch input for controlling the external device, wherein in response to receiving the second touch input, the controller is configured to control the external device without changing the capturing range of the camera or otherwise moving the camera, and wherein the controller controls the display unit to enlarge the image captured by the camera when a touch input is applied to the image captured by the camera. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
