Abstract

A terminal includes: a camera configured to capture an image using a lens; a memory configured to store the image captured by the camera and identification information corresponding to the captured image; a controller configured to provide control to generate schedule information based on the identification information and to store the generated schedule information in a scheduler; and a display unit configured to display the generated schedule information or the scheduler under the control of the controller.

Claims

1. A terminal comprising:

a camera configured to capture an image using a lens;

a memory configured to store the image captured by the camera and identification information corresponding to the captured image;

a controller configured to provide control to generate schedule information based on the identification information and to store the generated schedule information in a scheduler; and

a display unit configured to display the generated schedule information or the scheduler under the control of the controller.

2. The terminal of claim 1, wherein the identification information is tagging information or text information corresponding to the captured image.

3. The terminal of claim 2, wherein the controller provides control to store the generated schedule information in the scheduler in advance per a predetermined time when the tagging information is an event which is periodically repeated per the predetermined time.

4. The terminal of claim 3, wherein the predetermined time is one week, one month or one year.

5. The terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller controls the display unit to display the generated schedule information on the scheduler in an overlap manner.

6. The terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller provides control to generate schedule information based on the identification information, when an event occurs.

7. The terminal of claim 6, wherein the event occurs when input of the identification information corresponding to the captured image is completed, when a pre-set particular key is selected or when a touch input with respect to the captured image is occurred.

8. The terminal of claim 1, wherein the identification information includes at least one of a date, time, a place, a name of a person, a title and detailed content.

9. The terminal of claim 1, wherein the schedule information includes at least one of specific schedule content, schedule title, schedule date and time information.

10. The terminal of claim 1, wherein the scheduler is an application for managing a schedule and is displayed in the form of a table on the display unit.

11. The terminal of claim 2, further comprising:

an input unit configured to input the tagging information, wherein the controller controls the input unit to input the tagging information based on a GPS receiver or a voice recognition sensor.

12. The terminal of claim 1, further comprising:

an audio output unit configured to convert the generated schedule information into a sound and output the same.

13. The terminal of claim 2, wherein the controller provides control to extract a photo image corresponding to the name of the person from the memory and to display the photo image such that it is distinguishable from the captured image when the name of a person is included in the tagging information.

14. The terminal of claim 13, further comprising:

a wireless communication unit, wherein the controller controls the wireless communication unit to transmit the extracted photo image when a touch input with respect to the extracted photo image is occurred.

15. The terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller provides control to display detailed information corresponding to the schedule information when a touch input with respect to the displayed schedule information is occurred.

16. The terminal of claim 15, wherein the detailed information includes at least one of a review, a preview and recommended content corresponding to the captured image.

17. A terminal comprising:

a memory configured to store input schedule information and image information;

a controller configured to provide control to extract schedule information or image information corresponding to a certain time interval among schedule information or image information stored in the memory when schedule information corresponding to current time is an event which is periodically repeated, wherein the certain time interval is from the current time to a predetermined time earlier than the current time; and

a display unit configured to display the extracted schedule information or image information under the control of the controller.

18. The terminal of claim 17, wherein the schedule information includes at least one of specific schedule content, schedule title, schedule date and time information.

19. The terminal of claim 17, wherein the image information includes at least one of image captured by a camera and tagging information corresponding to the captured image.

20. The terminal of claim 19, wherein the tagging information includes at least one of a date, time, a place, a name of a person and tagging of detailed content.

21. The terminal of claim 17, wherein the predetermined time is one week, one month or one year.

22. The terminal of claim 17, wherein when a scheduler is executed, the controller controls the display unit to display the stored schedule information or the image information, and the scheduler is an application for managing a schedule.

23. The terminal of claim 22, wherein the controller controls the display unit to display the schedule information or the image information and the scheduler such that the schedule information or the image information is distinguished from the scheduler.

24. The terminal of claim 17, wherein when the number of pieces of the extracted schedule information or image information is greater than a pre-set number, the controller controls the display unit to display the extracted schedule information or image information by the pre-set number.

25. The terminal of claim 17, wherein when the extracted schedule information or image information includes a plurality of items, the controller controls the display unit to display the plurality of items of the extracted schedule information or image information in sequential order, such as before reaching one year, one month, one week, or in the reverse order.
