Abstract

A mobile terminal may display information of a repair guide. This may include capturing an image, determining an object in the captured image and determining whether a repair guide exists in memory of the mobile terminal. A controller may obtain the repair guide from an external server if the repair guide does not exist in the memory.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal comprising:

a camera to capture an image;

a memory to store the captured image;

a wireless communication unit to wirelessly communicate with an external server;

a controller to determine an object in the captured image and to determine whether a repair guide exists in the memory of the mobile terminal, and wherein when the repair guide is determined to not exist in the memory, the controller obtains the repair guide from the external server and stores the obtained repair guide in the memory; and

a display to display information of the repair guide stored in the memory.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1, where the display to display a candidate list of objects, and the controller determines the object based on a user selection from the displayed candidate list of objects.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein in response to a user selection from the displayed information of the repair guide, the controller to display a first instruction of the repair guide on the display.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein the controller to display a second instruction of the repair guide on the display based on a user input after displaying the first instruction.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein the controller to display a second instruction of the repair guide when a user touches the display at an area that corresponds to the displayed first instruction or touches the display at a previously identified area.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein the first instruction is displayed to correspond to a displayed specific part of the object in the captured image, wherein the displayed specific part is a part to repair of the object.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller to obtain an identifier of an external source based on a user input to contact the external source.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 7, wherein the controller to automatically provide information regarding the object in a message to the external source.

9. A method of displaying on a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

capturing an image using the mobile terminal;

storing the captured image in a memory of the mobile terminal;

determining an object in the captured image;

determining whether a repair guide exists in the memory of the mobile terminal;

when the repair guide is determined to not exist in the memory, obtaining the repair guide from an external server by wirelessly communicating;

storing the obtained repair guide in the memory; and

displaying information on a display of the repair guide stored in the memory.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising displaying a candidate list of objects, and wherein determining the object in the captured image is based on a user selection from the displayed candidate list of objects.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein in response to a user selection from the displayed information of the repair guide, the method further comprises displaying a first instruction from the repair guide on the display.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising displaying a second instruction of the repair guide on the display based on a user input after displaying the first instruction.

13. The method of claim 11, further comprising displaying a second instruction of the repair guide when a user touches the display at an area that corresponds to the displayed first instruction or touches the display at a previously identified area.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the first instruction is displayed to correspond to a displayed specific part of the object in the captured image, wherein the displayed specific part is a part to repair of the object.

15. The method of claim 9, further comprising obtaining an identifier of an external source based on a user input to contact the external source.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising the controller automatically providing information regarding the object in a message to the external source.

17. A mobile terminal comprising:

a camera to capture an image;

a memory to store the captured image;

a wireless communication unit to wirelessly communicate with an external server;

a controller to determine an object in the captured image; and

a display to display information of a repair guide stored in the memory, wherein in response to a user selection from the displayed information of the repair guide, the controller to display a first instruction of the repair guide on the display, wherein the controller to display a second instruction of the repair guide when a user touches the display at an area that corresponds to the displayed first instruction or touches the display at a previously identified area.

18. The mobile terminal of claim 17, wherein the display to display a candidate list of objects, and the controller determines the object based on a user selection from the displayed candidate list of objects.

19. The mobile terminal of claim 17, wherein the first instruction is displayed to correspond to a displayed specific part of the object in the captured image, wherein the displayed specific part is a part to repair of the object.

20. The mobile terminal of claim 17, wherein the controller to obtain an identifier of an external source based on a user input to contact the external source.

21. The mobile terminal of claim 20, wherein the controller to automatically provide information regarding the object in a message to the external source.
