Abstract

A mobile terminal apparatus performs method for storing and displaying content in the mobile terminal. According to an aspect, if a request for displaying content among at least one piece of pre-stored content is received, related information corresponding to the content is searched for in at least one piece of pre-stored related information, and the content and the found related information are displayed.

Claims

1. An apparatus configured to store content in a mobile terminal, comprising:

a memory unit; and

a controller configured to;

create, if a request for storing content is received, related information about the content based on location information of the mobile terminal, weather information, and schedule information registered by a user of the mobile terminal, and

store the content and the related information in the memory unit such that the related information corresponds to the content.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the related information includes at least one of weather when the content is stored, a name of location, an event name, and at least one name of at least one person included in the content.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to, if a request for storing content is received, determine a location name based on the location information of the mobile terminal, determine weather based on the weather information, determine an event name based on schedule information registered by the user, and create related information including the name of the location, the weather, and the event name.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to, if a request for storing the content is received when the content is an image, determine a location name based on the location information of the mobile terminal, determine weather based on the weather information, determine an event name based on the schedule information registered by the user, determine a person name corresponding to a face image included in the content, and create related information including the location name, the weather, the event name, and the person name.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to store the related information as metadata of the content.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to specify a file name of the content based on the related information, and store the content with the file name.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising;

a camera configured to create image data and video data according to a request from the user, and

a data processor configured to create audio data can according to a request from the user.

8. An apparatus configured to display content in a mobile terminal, comprising:

a memory unit configured to store at least one piece of content and at least one piece of related information corresponding to the at least one piece of content; and

a controller configure to search for, if a request for displaying content among the at least one piece of content is received, related information corresponding to the content in the at least one piece of related information, and to display the content and the found related information.

9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the related information includes at least one of weather when the content is stored, a name of location, an event name, and at least one name of at least one person included in the content.

10. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the controller is configured to display the content and the related information for a predetermine time period, and when the predetermined time period has elapsed, the controller is configured to display the content without displaying the related information.

11. The apparatus of claim 8, further comprising;

a camera configured to create image data and video data according to a request from the user, and

a data processor configured to create audio data can according to a request from the user

12. A method for storing content in a mobile terminal, comprising:

if a request for storing content is received, creating related information about the content based on location information of the mobile terminal, weather information, and schedule information registered by a user of the mobile terminal; and

storing the content and the related information such that the related information corresponds to the content.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the related information includes at least one of weather when the content is stored, a name of location, an event name, and at least one name of at least one person included in the content.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the creating of the related information comprises:

if a request for storing the content is received, determining a location name based on the location information of the mobile terminal,

determining weather based on the weather information;

determining an event name based on the schedule information registered by the user; and

creating related information including the location name, the weather, and the event name.

15. The method of claim 12, wherein the creating of the related information comprises:

if a request for storing the content is received when the content is an image, determining a location name based on the location information of the mobile terminal;

determining weather based on the weather information,

determining an event name based on the schedule information registered by the user;

determining a person name corresponding to a face image included in the content; and

creating related information including the location name, the weather, the event name, and the person name.

16. The method of claim 12, wherein the storing of the related information comprises storing the related information as metadata of the content.

17. The method of claim 12, wherein the storing of the related information further comprises:

specifying a file name of the content based on the related information; and

storing the content with the file name.

18. A method for displaying content in a mobile terminal, comprising:

if a request for displaying content among at least one piece of pre-stored content is received, searching for related information corresponding to the content in at least one piece of pre-stored related information;

displaying the content and the found related information.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the related information includes at least one of weather when the content is stored, a name of location, an event name, and at least one name of at least one person included in the content.

20. The method of claim 18, wherein the displaying of the content and the related information comprises displaying the content and the related information for a predetermine time period, and when the predetermined time period has elapsed, displaying the content without displaying the related information.
