Abstract

A method of controlling a mobile terminal, and which includes displaying, via a display unit of the mobile terminal, a screen including text; receiving, via a controller of the mobile terminal, a first command copying at least a portion of the text displayed on the screen; receiving, via the controller, a second command for dividing the portion of the text into a plurality of blocks; storing, via a memory associated with the mobile terminal, at least first and second blocks included in the divided blocks based on at least one of a position of the received second command and a direction of the received second command; and displaying the at least first and second blocks on the display unit.

Claims

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

displaying, via a display unit of the mobile terminal, a screen including text;

receiving, via a controller of the mobile terminal, a first command copying at least a portion of the text displayed on the screen;

receiving, via the controller, a second command for dividing the portion of the text into a plurality of blocks;

storing, via a memory associated with the mobile terminal, at least first and second blocks included in the divided blocks based on at least one of a position of the received second command and a direction of the received second command; and

displaying the at least first and second blocks on the display unit.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

identifying the at least first and second blocks based on a dragged position and a dragged direction of the received second command.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

highlighting the at least first and second blocks; and

respectively displaying a plurality of indicators indicating a start point and an end point of the first and second highlighted blocks, respectively.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

receiving a touch selection of one of the plurality of the indicators for more than a predetermined time;

displaying a plurality of blocks adjacent to the first block in a list form; and

receiving a selection of a specific block from the plurality of the blocks as the second block.

5. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

receiving a touch selection of one of the plurality of the indicators for more than a predetermined time;

displaying a plurality of blocks adjacent to the first block in a highlighted form; and

receiving a selection of a specific block from the plurality of the blocks as the second block.

6. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

receiving a third command for making a part of text contained in the first bock to be contained in the second block; and

storing the first block and the second block with the part of the text.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

executing an editing mode;

displaying all blocks stored in the memory by recognizing all of the blocks as a single block; and

displaying all blocks stored in the memory by individually recognizing all of the blocks.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

analyzing a currently executed mode;

analyzing text contained in blocks, which are stored in the memory; and

displaying blocks containing a text mapped to the analyzed mode only according to a result of the analysis.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

analyzing a currently executed mode;

analyzing text contained in blocks, which are stored in the memory; and

preferentially displaying blocks containing a text mapped to the analyzed mode according to a result of the analysis.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the received first command is determined by a palm touch and the received second command is determined by a nail touch.

11. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a display unit configured to display a screen including text; and

a controller configured to;

receive a first command copying at least a portion of the text displayed on the screen,

receive a second command for dividing the portion of the text to be copied into a plurality of blocks,

store at least first and second blocks included in the divided blocks in a memory based on at least one of a position of the received second command and a direction of the received second command, and

display the at least first and second blocks on the display unit.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 11, wherein the controller is further configured to:

identify the at least first and second blocks based on a dragged position and a dragged direction of the received second command.

13. The mobile terminal of claim 11, wherein the controller is further configured to:

highlight the at least first and second blocks, and

respectively display a plurality of indicators indicating a start point and an end point of the first and second highlighted blocks, respectively.

14. The mobile terminal of claim 13, wherein the controller is further configured to:

receive a touch selection of one of the plurality of the indicators for more than a predetermined time,

display a plurality of blocks adjacent to the first block in a list form, and

receive a selection of a specific block from the plurality of the blocks as the second block.

15. The mobile terminal of claim 13, wherein the controller is further configured to:

receive a touch selection of one of the plurality of the indicators for more than a predetermined time,

display a plurality of blocks adjacent to the first block in a highlighted form, and

receive a selection of a specific block from the plurality of the blocks as the second block.

16. The mobile terminal of claim 13, wherein the controller is further configured to:

receive a third command for making a part of text contained in the first bock to be contained in the second block, and

store the first block and the second block with the part of the text.

17. The mobile terminal of claim 11, wherein the controller is further configured to:

execute an editing mode,

display all blocks stored in the memory by recognizing all of the blocks as a single block, and

display all blocks stored in the memory by individually recognizing all of the blocks.

18. The mobile terminal of claim 11, wherein the controller is further configured to:

analyze a currently executed mode,

analyze text contained in blocks, which are stored in the memory, and

display blocks containing a text mapped to the analyzed mode only according to a result of the analysis.

19. The method of claim 11, wherein the controller is further configured to:

analyze a currently executed mode,

analyze text contained in blocks, which are stored in the memory, and

preferentially display blocks containing a text mapped to the analyzed mode according to a result of the analysis.

20. The mobile terminal of claim 11, wherein the received first command is determined by a palm touch and the received second command is determined by a nail touch.
