Abstract

A mobile terminal including a wireless communication unit configured to provide wireless communication; a touchscreen; a memory; and a controller configured to display an active screen of an executing application on the touchscreen, detect a plurality of touch gestures sequentially input to the active screen of the executing application, and create a guide content by saving touch event information in the memory corresponding to the plurality of the detected touch gestures in order of the sequential input.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal comprising:

a touchscreen;

a memory; and

a controller configured to;

display an active screen of an executing application on the touchscreen,

receive a plurality of touch gestures sequentially inputted to the active screen of the executing application, and

create a guide content by saving touch event information in the memory corresponding to the plurality of the received touch gestures in order of the receiving.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the touch event information comprises touch coordinate information for each of the plurality of the touch gestures.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 2, wherein the touch event information further comprises gesture type information of each of the plurality of the touch gestures, and

wherein the gesture type information comprises at least one of a normal touch type, a long touch type, a touch &

drag type, a press type, a multi-touch type, a flicking type, a pinch-in type and a pinch-out type.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the active screen comprises a plurality of touch items, and

wherein the controller is further configured to select a corresponding touch item based on an user input, and save item identification information for the selected touch item.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the controller is further configured to perform a prescribed function corresponding to the touch item and save function identification information of the performed prescribed function.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 1, further comprising:

a microphone,

wherein the controller is further configured to;

receive a voice memo input, via the microphone, while receiving the plurality of touch gestures, and

save the received voice memo input together with the touch event information, wherein the saved voice memo input is timely synchronized with the received plurality of touch gestures.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to save a touch drag path included in the plurality of touch gestures as a handwriting memo.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to output a play screen of the created guide content to the touchscreen, and

wherein the play screen comprises the active screen and a plurality of touch guide indicators sequentially displaying the plurality of the input touch gestures on the active screen, respectively.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 8, wherein in outputting the play screen, the controller is further configured to display a first indicator among the plurality of touch guide indicators, and if an input of touching the first indicator is received, display a second indicator in response to the received input.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 9, wherein the second indicator comprises an indicator in order right next to the first indicator among the plurality of touch guide indicators.

11. A method of controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

displaying, via a touchscreen of the mobile terminal, an active screen of an executing application;

receiving, via the touchscreen, a plurality of touch gestures sequentially inputted to the active screen of the executing application; and

creating, via the controller, a guide content by saving touch event information in the memory corresponding to the plurality of the received touch gestures in order of the receiving.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the touch event information comprises touch coordinate information for each of the plurality of the touch gestures.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the touch event information further comprises gesture type information of each of the plurality of the touch gestures, and

wherein the gesture type information comprises at least one of a normal touch type, a long touch type, a touch &

drag type, a press type, a multi-touch type, a flicking type, a pinch-in type and a pinch-out type.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the active screen comprises a plurality of touch selectable items, and

wherein the method further comprises selecting a corresponding touch selectable item based on an user input, and saving item identification information for the selected touch item.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

performing a prescribed function corresponding to the selected touch item; and

saving function identification information of the performed prescribed function.

16. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

receiving a voice memo input, via a microphone, while receiving the plurality of touch gestures, and

saving the received voice memo input together with the touch event information, wherein the saved voice memo input is timely synchronized with the received plurality of touch gestures.

17. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

saving a touch drag path included in the plurality of touch gestures as a handwriting memo.

18. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

outputting a play screen of the created guide content to the touchscreen,

wherein the play screen comprises the active screen and a plurality of touch guide indicators sequentially displaying the plurality of the input touch gestures on the active screen, respectively.

19. The method of claim 18, further comprising:

displaying a first indicator among the plurality of touch guide indicators; and

if an input of touching the first indicator is received, displaying a second indicator in response to the received input.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the second indicator comprises an indicator in order right next to the first indicator among the plurality of touch guide indicators.
