Abstract

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal displaying an image and a control method of the same. A mobile terminal according to an aspect of the invention may include: a display unit displaying an image; and a controller receiving data according to a user'"'"'s selection, storing the data to be associated with the image, and displaying an icon on the display unit to indicate that the data is stored.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal comprising:

a display unit displaying an image; and

a controller receiving data according to a user'"'"'s selection, storing the data to be associated with the image, and displaying an icon on the display unit to indicate that the data is stored.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein a tag related to the data is displayed on the icon.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 2, wherein the tag is extracted from the data according to a predetermined criterion.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 2, wherein the controller displays the stored data on the display unit according to selection of the icon.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein when a plurality of data items are stored in association with the image, a plurality of tags respectively related to the plurality of data items are displayed on the display unit, and

when one of the plurality of tags is selected, a data related to the selected tag is displayed.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the display unit supports touch input, and

the controller displays an input window to which the data is input according to touch of the image.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 6, wherein the controller sets a size of the input window according to a touch length of the touch.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 6, wherein the touch starts at a first point and ends at a second point, and

the size of the input window gradually increases in a direction of the touch from the first point toward the second point.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 8, wherein the input window is displayed to overlap with the image, and

the size of the input window is changed again according to dragging with respect to the input window.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 6, wherein the input window receives a command,

the controller compares the command input to the input window with a predetermined control command, and

the controller executes a function corresponding to the command when the command is the predetermined control command.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the icon is an output icon to output the data, and

a function icon representing a function related to the image is further displayed on the display unit.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 11, wherein a predetermined SNS site is displayed on the function icon, and

the image and the data stored in association with the image are uploaded to the predetermined SNS site when the function icon is selected.

13. The mobile terminal of claim 11, wherein the output icon and the function icon are displayed at different corners of the image.

14. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller outputs a display window displaying the data according to selection of the icon, and

when touch corresponding to predetermined symbols is sensed on the display window, the controller executes functions defined in the predetermined symbols.

15. The mobile terminal of claim 14, wherein the data is deleted when a touch corresponding to any one of the predetermined symbols is sensed.

16. A control method of a mobile terminal having a display unit displaying an image, the control method comprising:

receiving data according to a user'"'"'s selection;

storing the data to be associated with an image displayed on the display unit; and

displaying an icon on the display unit to indicate that the data is stored.

17. The control method of claim 16, wherein a tag related to the data is displayed on the icon.

18. The control method of claim 16, wherein the data is displayed when the icon is selected.

19. The control method of claim 16, wherein an input window to which the data is input is displayed according to touch with respect to the image,

the touch starts at a first point and ends at a second point, and

the input window gradually changes in size in a direction of the touch from the first point toward the second point.

20. The control method of claim 16, wherein the icon is an output icon to output the data,

a function icon representing a function related to the image is further displayed on the display unit, and

the output icon and the function icon are displayed at different corners of the image.

21. The control method of claim 16, wherein a display window displaying the data is output to the display unit according to selection of the icon, and

when touch corresponding to a predetermined symbol is sensed, a function defined in the predetermined symbol is executed.
