Abstract

A method of providing capture data, performed by a mobile terminal, is provided. The method includes sensing a user'"'"'s gesture requesting a capture panel, and displaying the entire capture panel, which was partially displayed at a side of a screen or was hidden, according to the user'"'"'s gesture requesting the capture panel. The capture panel displays a list of capture data including an image and meta data corresponding to each of at least one content captured by the mobile terminal.

displaying the share panel including a list of identification information of one or more external devices at the side of the screen, according to the user'"'"'s gesture requesting the share panel;

sensing a drag-and-drop gesture performed from a first point on the displayed capture panel to a second point on the displayed share panel; and

transmitting capture data corresponding to the first point to an external device corresponding to the second point, according to the drag-and-drop gesture,

wherein the capture panel displays a list of capture data, the capture data including an image of the content captured by the mobile terminal and meta data extracted from the content captured by the mobile terminal, and

wherein, the capture data includes;

first capture data generated by capturing internal content of the mobile terminal that is reproduced in the mobile terminal based on the meta data related to the internal content and stored in the mobile terminal when the content is captured, and

second capture data generated by simultaneously capturing at least a first external content that is produced by a first source of a plurality of sources and a second external data that is produced by a second source of the plurality of sources other than the mobile terminal and not stored in the mobile terminal when the content is captured, the first source being of a different type than the second source.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the user'"'"'s gesture requesting the capture panel comprises a gesture of flicking made from a predetermined location in an edge region of the screen toward the inside of the screen.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the capture panel appears toward the inside of the screen from the predetermined location in the edge region of the screen, according to the gesture of flicking.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the captured content comprises at least one from among a still image, a moving image, and sound.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the capture panel comprises at least one of the capture data and an icon representing a type of the captured content.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the meta data comprises at least one from among additional information, link information, and recommended information corresponding to the captured content.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

sensing a gesture of selecting at least one piece of capture data included in the capture panel; and

providing additional information corresponding to the at least one piece of capture data when the gesture of selecting is a first gesture, and switching to a share mode to display the share panel for transmitting the at least one piece of capture data to an external device when the gesture of selecting is a second gesture.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

sensing a gesture of tapping at least one piece of capture data included in the capture panel; and

providing additional information corresponding to the at least one piece of capture data, based on meta data included in the at least one piece of capture data.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the providing of the additional information comprises:

selecting an application for providing the additional information corresponding to the at least one piece of capture data; and

executing the selected application.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

sensing a gesture of sweeping at least one piece of capture data included in the capture panel;

displaying the at least one piece of capture data corresponding to the gesture of sweeping, in a first region of the screen;

displaying the share panel including the list of identification information of the one or more external devices in a second region of the screen; and

displaying the capture panel in a third region of the screen.

11. The method of claim 10,

wherein the first region is located within a predetermined distance from a center of the screen,

wherein the second region is located at one side of the screen, and

wherein the third region is located at another side of the screen.

12. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

sensing a gesture of tapping identification information of at least one external device included in the share panel; and

transmitting the at least one piece of capture data displayed in the first region to the at least one external device corresponding to the gesture of tapping.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the list of capture data included in the capture panel is arranged based on a capture time or content type.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the user'"'"'s gesture requesting the capture panel comprises a user'"'"'s gesture requesting at least one content to be captured.

29. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a computer program executed by at least one processor to perform the method of claim 1.

15. A mobile terminal comprising:

a sensor configured to;

sense a user'"'"'s gesture requesting a capture panel; and

sense a user'"'"'s gesture requesting a share panel;

a display configured to;

display the entire capture panel, which was partially displayed at a side of a screen or was hidden, according to the user'"'"'s gesture requesting the capture panel, and

display the share panel including a list of identification information of one or more external devices at the side of the screen, according to the gesture requesting the share panel;

a transceiver configured to transmit capture data corresponding to a first point to an external device corresponding to a second point if a drag-and-drop gesture performed from the first point on the displayed capture panel to the second point on the displayed share panel is sensed; and

at least one processor configured to control the sensor and the display,

wherein the capture panel is configured to display a list of capture data, the capture data including an image of content captured by the mobile terminal and meta data extracted from the content captured by the mobile terminal, and

wherein the capture data includes;
