Abstract

A mobile terminal includes a user input unit for receiving user inputs, a display unit for displaying information, an audio output module for outputting an audio signal, and a controller for processing a user input to select at least a first specific position in multimedia data, controlling the display unit to display multimedia information related to the selected at least a first specific position and sorting the multimedia information with respect to at least a second specific position in the multimedia data.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a user input unit for receiving user inputs;

a display unit for displaying information;

an audio output module for outputting an audio signal; and

a controller for processing a user input to select at least a first specific position in multimedia data, controlling the display unit to display multimedia information related to the selected at least a first specific position and sorting the multimedia information with respect to at least a second specific position in the multimedia data.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller sorts the multimedia information according to chronological order

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller plays the multimedia data according to time information.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 3, further comprising a memory for storing the multimedia data, wherein the controller controls the display unit to display the multimedia information while playing the multimedia data stored in the memory.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the controller controls the display unit to display the multimedia information on a play screen related to the multimedia data such that the multimedia information corresponds to the multimedia data being played.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller processes a user input to select the at least a second specific position.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 6, wherein the controller plays the multimedia data according to time information and controls the display unit to display the multimedia information such that further information related to a user-selected one of the at least a first specific position or at least a second specific position is displayed even when the multimedia is not played.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 7, wherein the further information comprises at least one comment associated with the multimedia data.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 7, further comprising a memory for storing the multimedia data, wherein the controller controls the display unit to display the multimedia information while playing the multimedia data stored in the memory.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 9, wherein the controller creates a data file in the memory for displaying and storing the further information.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 9, wherein the controller controls the display unit to display the multimedia information on a play screen related to the multimedia data such that the multimedia information corresponds to the multimedia data being played.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 7, wherein the multimedia data is stored in a specific website and the controller controls the display unit to display the further information while playing the multimedia data stored in the specific website.

13. The mobile terminal of claim 12, wherein controller controls the display unit to display the multimedia information on a play screen related to the multimedia data such that the multimedia information corresponds to the multimedia data being played.

14. The mobile terminal of claim 12, wherein the user is a website visitor.

15. The mobile terminal of claim 12, wherein the controller creates a data file in the website for displaying and storing the further information.

16. The mobile terminal of claim 15, wherein the controller creates the data file by:

separating the further information from the multimedia data stored in the website; and

downloading the further information.

17. The mobile terminal of claim 15, wherein the controller creates the data file by:

separating the further information from the multimedia data stored on the website; and

storing the further information in a database corresponding to a user ID on the website.

18. The mobile terminal of claim 12, wherein the controller plays the multimedia data from a specific position corresponding to a specific point selected by the website visitor in the further information.

19. A method of playing multimedia data in a mobile terminal, the method comprising

processing a user input to select at least a first specific position in multimedia data;

displaying multimedia information related to the selected at least a first specific position; and

sorting the multimedia information with respect to at least a second specific position.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein sorting the multimedia information comprises arranging the multimedia information in chronological order

21. The method of claim 19, further comprising playing the multimedia data according to time further information.

22. The method of claim 21, further comprising:

storing the multimedia data; and

displaying the multimedia information while playing the stored multimedia data.

23. The method of claim 22, further comprising displaying the multimedia information such that the multimedia information corresponds to the multimedia data being played.

24. The method of claim 19, further comprising:

receiving a user input to select the at least a second specific position.

25. The method of claim 24, further comprising displaying the multimedia information such that further information related to a user-selected one of the at least a first specific position or at least a second specific position is displayed even when the multimedia is not played.

26. The method of claim 25, wherein the further information comprises at least one comment associated with the multimedia data.

27. The method of claim 25, further comprising:

storing the multimedia data; and

displaying the multimedia information while playing the stored multimedia data.

28. The method of claim 27, further comprising creating a data file for displaying and storing the further information.

29. The method of claim 27, further comprising displaying the multimedia information such that the multimedia information corresponds to the multimedia data being played.

30. The method of claim 25, further comprising:

storing the multimedia data on a specific website; and

displaying the further information while playing the multimedia data stored in the specific website.

31. The method of claim 30, further comprising displaying the further information such that the further information corresponds to the multimedia data being played.

32. The method of claim 30, wherein the user is a website visitor.

33. The method of claim 30, further comprising creating a data file on the website for displaying and storing the further information.

34. The method of claim 33, wherein creating the data file comprises:

separating the further information from the multimedia data stored in the website; and

downloading the further information.

35. The method of claim 33, wherein creating the data file comprises:

separating the further information from the multimedia data stored in the website; and

storing the further information in a database corresponding to a user ID on the website.

36. The method of claim 30, further comprising playing the multimedia data from a specific position corresponding to a specific point selected by the website visitor in the further information.
