Abstract

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal displaying an image and a control method of the same. A mobile terminal according to an aspect of the invention may include: a display unit displaying an image; and a controller receiving data according to a user'"'"'s selection, storing the data to be associated with the image, and displaying an icon on the display unit to indicate that the data is stored.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal comprising.

a touch screen;

a controller operatively coupled to the touch screen and configured to;

control the touch screen to display an image based on a user'"'"'s selection,

receive one or more touch inputs applied to the touch screen in a state where the image is displayed on the touch screen,

display information corresponding to the one or more touch inputs on the touch screen comprising the image,

detect a control command from the information if the displayed information comprises at least one predetermined symbol, and

execute a function corresponding to the control command comprised in the displayed information, the function being associated with the image in response to the detected control command,

wherein, if the displayed information comprises the at least one predetermined symbol, at least part of the displayed information comprising the at least one predetermined symbol is detected as the control command to execute the function and a remaining part of the displayed information except for the at least part of the displayed information is processed as a note,

wherein the note corresponding to the remaining part of the displayed information is displayed with the image, and the at least part of the displayed information comprising the at least one predetermined symbol is no longer displayed in response to executing the function;

wherein if the note is stored, an icon is displayed with the image, and

the icon is located at a corner portion of the image to indicate that the stored note is associated with the image; and

wherein a tag is extracted from the stored note according to a predetermined criterion, wherein the predetermined criterion is a most mentioned word in the note.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein an image effect which is applied for the image is related to the detected control command.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the displayed note comprises text corresponding to the detected control command for executing the function.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein an image effect which is applied for the image is a polaroid effect, and the controller controls the touch screen to display the image with a frame image in response to the detected control command.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the note is displayed on at least one of the image or the frame image.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the note is received after a touch input for inputting one or more notes is applied to the touch screen.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the tag related to the stored note is displayed on the icon.

8. A control method of a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

controlling a touch screen to display an image based on a user'"'"'s selection;

receiving one or more touch inputs applied to the touch screen in a state where the image is displayed on the touch screen;

displaying information corresponding to the one or more touch inputs on the touch screen comprising the image;

detecting a control command from the information if the displayed information comprises at least one predetermined symbol; and

executing a function corresponding to the control command comprised in the displayed information, the function being associated with the image in response to the detected control command,

wherein, if the displayed information comprises the at least one predetermined symbol, at least part of the displayed information comprising the at least one predetermined symbol is detected as the control command to execute the function and a remaining part of the displayed information except for the at least part of the displayed information is processed as a note,

wherein the note corresponding to the remaining part of the displayed information is displayed with the image, and the at least part of the displayed information comprising the at least one predetermined symbol is no longer displayed in response to executing the function;

wherein if the note is stored, an icon is displayed with the image, and

the icon is located at a corner portion of the image to indicate that the stored note is associated with the image; and

wherein a tag is extracted from the stored note according to a predetermined criterion, wherein the predetermined criterion is a most mentioned word in the note.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein an image effect which is applied to the image is related to the detected control command.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the displayed note comprises text corresponding to the detected control command for executing the function.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein an image effect which is applied to the image is a polaroid effect, and the image is displayed with a frame image on the touch screen in response to the detected control command.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the note is displayed on at least one of the image or the frame image.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein the note is received after a touch input for inputting one or more notes is applied to the touch screen.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein the tag related to the stored note is displayed on the icon.
