when the message relating to the location of the terminal being close to the location extracted from the second screen information is touched, the display displays a thumbnail image corresponding to the second screen information and a location icon, and

when the location icon is touched, the display displays the current location of the user on a map, and the thumbnail image on the location extracted from the second screen information.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein in response to the input at the manual scrap icon, the controller to:

control the display to display a scrap window for selecting partial screen information from the first screen information,

extract metadata regarding the first screen information,

select a first portion of screen information from the first screen information based on the extracted metadata,

display, at the scrap window, the selected first portion of screen information, and

select a second portion of screen information from the first screen information, and

display, at the scrap window, the second portion of the screen information.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 2, wherein in response to an input at a manual scrap completion icon for completing selection of screen information from the first screen information, the controller provides third screen information including the first portion of screen information and the second portion of screen information displayed at the scrap window, and controls the display to display the third screen information.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein in response to an input at partial screen information from the second screen information, the controller provides fourth screen information by changing the second screen information such that the fourth screen information includes screen information related to the partial screen information, and controls the display to display the fourth screen information.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller extracts, as metadata regarding the first screen information, at least one of a keyword, a uniform resource locator (URL), a tag, a location, and a contact number.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the display displays the second screen information and at least one of an icon to share the second screen information, an icon to output the first screen information, an icon to output a location extracted from the second screen information, and an icon to make a call to a contact number extracted from the second screen information.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller to search content related to the second screen information based on the metadata regarding the first screen information, and the controller controls the display to display a result of the searched content.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein in response to an input at partial screen information from the second screen information, the controller controls the display to display a result of searching the partial screen information from a web page.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein based on an object selected by a user and metadata regarding each of a plurality of screen information, the controller extracts at least one screen information related to the selected object and controls the display to display the at least one extracted screen information.

10. A method for controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

displaying, on a display, an automatic scrap icon and a manual scrap icon;

in response to an input at the automatic scrap icon, extracting metadata regarding a first screen information and selecting partial screen information from the first screen information based on the extracted metadata; and

providing second screen information that includes the selected partial screen information and displaying the second screen information on the display,

searching content related to the second screen information;

displaying the searched content;

receive a selection, by a user, of content from among the searched content;

providing the second screen information and adding the selected content, displaying the second screen information and the added content;

editing the second screen information by weighting a text selected by a user, and controlling the display to output the edited second screen information;

displaying a message relating to a current location of the terminal being close to a location extracted from the second screen information stored in a memory;

when the message relating to the current location of the terminal being close to the location extracted from the second screen information is touched, displaying a thumbnail image corresponding to the second screen information and a location icon; and

when the location icon is touched, displaying the current location of the user on a map, and the thumbnail image on the location extracted from the second screen information.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein in response to an input at the manual scrap icon, the method further comprising:

displaying a scrap window to select partial screen information from the first screen information;

extracting metadata regarding the first screen information;

selecting a first portion of screen information from the first screen information based on the extracted metadata;
