Abstract

The present invention relates to a mobile device and a method of controlling therefor. The method includes the steps of, if an input for touching the specific screen image for more than prescribed time is received from a user, recognizing the specific screen image, extracting tag information from the recognized specific screen image, executing a specific application related to the specific screen image based on the extracted tag information and displaying an execution screen of the specific application.

Claims

1. A mobile device, comprising:

a display;

a controller configured to;

cause the display to display a plurality of screen images;

obtain tag information associated with a first screen image, among the plurality of screen images, in response to a user input selecting the first screen image; and

cause the display to display an execution screen of a specific application related to the first screen image based on the tag information.

2. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to:

store, in a memory, application information related to the first screen image together with metadata of the first screen image.

3. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to:

recognize the first screen image based on at least one of optical character recognition (OCR), a layout of the first screen image, a design of the first screen image, or text information included in the first screen image.

4. The mobile device of claim 1, further comprising a wireless communication unit configured to transceive data with an external device,

wherein the controller is further configured to transmit the screen image, the tag information of the first screen image and metadata to the external device via the wireless communication unit.

5. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to:

cause the display to display the execution screen of the specific application in response to at least one of the user input being a contact touch received at the first screen image for more than a threshold period of time, the user input being a tapping input received at the first screen image for more than a threshold number of times, or the user input being a drag input that begins at the first screen image and extends either upward or downward.

6. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to:

cause the display to display the execution screen of the specific application in response to the user input being a drag input that begins at the first screen image and extends either upward or downward.

7. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the first screen image comprises system configuration information, and wherein the controller is further configured to:

change a configuration of the mobile device based on the system configuration information and in response to a further user input selecting the first screen image.

8. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the first screen image comprises configuration information of the specific application, and wherein the controller is further configured to:

change a configuration of the specific application based on the configuration information of the specific application and in response to a further user input selecting the first screen image.

9. The mobile device of claim 8, further comprising:

a transmitter, and wherein the controller is further configured to;

transmit to an external device, via the transmitter, both the first screen image and the configuration information of the specific application.

10. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the first screen image comprises home screen configuration information, and wherein the controller is further configured to:

cause the display to display a home screen of the mobile device based on the home screen configuration information and in response to a further user input selecting the first screen image.

11. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to:

cause the display to display the execution screen of the specific application in response to the user input selecting the first screen image.

12. The mobile device of claim 1, further comprising a camera, and wherein the controller is configured to:

capture a screen image of an external device using the camera;

obtain second tag information from the captured screen image of the external device;

cause the display to display an execution screen of a further specific application of a mobile device version of an application corresponding to the captured screen and based on the obtained second tag information; and

store the execution screen of the further specific application in the memory as a specific screen image.

13. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the first screen image comprises playback information of a multimedia item, and wherein the controller is further configured to:

play the multimedia item beginning from a time that corresponds to a time of the displaying of the first screen image.

14. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the first screen image comprises navigation information, and wherein the controller is further configured to:

cause the display to display a route to a destination beginning at a starting point corresponding to a point at which the user input is received at the first screen image.

15. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the first screen image corresponds to a web browser screen, and wherein the controller is further configured to:

access a specific web browser address, which is stored when the first screen image is displayed, when the user input is received from a user.

16. A display method for a mobile device having a display, the method comprising:

displaying, on the display, a plurality of screen images;

obtaining tag information associated with a first screen image, among the plurality of screen images, in response to a user input selecting the first screen image; and

displaying, on the display, an execution screen of a specific application related to the first screen image based on the tag information.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

storing, in a memory of the mobile device, application information related to the first screen image together with metadata of the first screen image.

18. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

recognizing the first screen image based on at least one of optical character recognition (OCR), a layout of the first screen image, a design of the first screen image, or text information included in the first screen image.

19. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

transmitting the screen image, the tag information of the first screen image and metadata to the external device via a wireless communication unit.

20. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

displaying, on the display, the execution screen of the specific application in response to at least one of the user input being a contact touch received at the first screen image for more than a threshold period of time, the user input being a tapping input received at the first screen image for more than a threshold number of times, or the user input being a drag input that begins at the first screen image and extends either upward or downward.
