Abstract

A mobile terminal is disclosed. The mobile terminal, if a memo-writing function is activated during video play, assigns at least one part of a touchscreen as an area for handwriting inputs while displaying a video on the touchscreen and obtains a first play timing corresponding to a memo-start time; and if a memo-saving function is carried out, obtains a second play timing which corresponds to the memo-saving time and stores a memo generated based on handwriting inputs received through the handwriting input area in association with the video by reflecting at least one of the first and the second play timing.

receive a first touch input via the touchscreen selecting particular data of the displayed user interface;

receive a second touch input to a particular position on the progress bar to define a memo insertion start point; and

insert the selected particular data as the memo into the video at a time point corresponding to the memo insertion start point on the progress bar, wherein the video is continuously played while the selected particular data is inserted as the memo;

wherein a playback indicator indicating the current playback position is correspondingly moved while the video switching function through the progress bar is deactivated and the memo-insertion function is activated,

wherein the controller is further configured to receive a memo insertion end time on the progress bar based on a user input and further cause the touch screen to repeat display of the video from a time point corresponding to the memo insertion start time to the memo insertion end time until the memo writing is completed.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 8, wherein the second touch input is received after the first touch input.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 8, wherein:

the displayed user interface includes a plurality of selectable data each corresponding to a time point of the plurality of time points; and

the controller is further configured to cause the touchscreen to display a user interface for writing the memo to be inserted at the time point corresponding to the particular data.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 10, wherein the displayed video is video being recorded by a video recording function of the mobile terminal.
