Abstract

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal capable of receiving a memo while recording a video. Specifically, the present invention relates to a mobile terminal including a camera, a touch screen and a controller. When a video is recorded using the camera, the controller is configured to control the touch screen to output a preview screen of the camera. If a touch and drag input is received on the outputted preview screen, the controller is configured to temporarily stop outputting the preview screen and store a touch path of the touch and drag input as a handwriting memo which is included in the recorded video.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a camera;

a touch screen; and

a controller configured to;

when a video is recorded by the camera, manage the touch screen to output a preview screen of the camera,

when a touch and drag is received on the outputted preview screen, pause the output of the preview screen and store a touch path of the touch and drag input as a handwriting memo which is associated with the recorded video,

when a command specifying a prescribed object contained in the preview screen is received from a user, associate the handwriting memo with the prescribed object, wherein the command specifying the prescribed object corresponds to at least one of a touch and drag input forming a closed curve containing the prescribed object contained in the preview screen, or applying an input to a region of the preview screen containing the prescribed object and holding the input to the region of the preview screen containing the prescribed object for a prescribed time, and

control the touch screen to output a playback screen of the recorded video,

wherein when the prescribed object is displayed on the playback screen, the touch screen outputs the stored handwriting memo in a vicinity of the displayed prescribed object such that;

when the prescribed object is displayed in a first region of the playback screen, the handwriting memo is outputted in the first region of the playback screen, and

in response to the displayed prescribed object moving from the first region of the playback screen to a second region of the playback screen, the outputted handwriting memo moves from the first region of the playback screen to the second region of the playback screen with the prescribed object.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein if the touch and drag input is received on the outputted preview screen, the controller is configured to activate a shake correction function of the camera.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the prescribed time is a first prescribed time, and if the touch and drag input is not received for more than a second prescribed time, the controller is configured to resume the output of the preview screen.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 1, further comprising a microphone,

wherein the controller is configured to store an audio memo received via the microphone as an audio memo associated with the video.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to control the touch screen to output the playback screen of the recorded video when a playback command is received.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein when the stored handwriting memo is outputted in the playback screen, the controller is configured to control playback of the video to be paused.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 6, wherein if an input touching the outputted handwriting memo is received, the controller is configured to resume the playback of the video.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to output the stored handwriting memo based on a timing corresponding to a timing when the handwriting memo is inputted in the preview screen.

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

display the handwriting memo with the paused output of the preview screen while the touch and drag is being received, and

resume the output of the preview screen and cease displaying the handwriting memo when the touch and drag is no longer being received.

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

recording a video by a camera;

outputting a preview screen when the video is recorded;

when a touch and drag input is received on the outputted preview screen, pausing the output of the preview screen and storing a touch path of the touch and drag input as a handwriting memo;

when a command specifying a prescribed object contained in the preview screen is received from a user, associating the handwriting memo with the prescribed object, wherein the command specifying the prescribed object corresponds to at least one of a touch and drag input forming a closed curve containing the prescribed object contained in the preview screen, or applying an input to a region of the preview screen containing the prescribed object and holding the input to the region of the preview screen containing the prescribed object for a prescribed time; and

outputting a playback screen of the recorded video,

wherein when the prescribed object is displayed on the playback screen, the touch screen outputs the stored handwriting memo in a vicinity of the displayed prescribed object such that;

when the prescribed object is displayed in a first region of the playback screen, the handwriting memo is outputted in the first region of the playback screen, and

in response to the displayed prescribed object moving from the first region of the playback screen to a second region of the playback screen, the outputted handwriting memo moves from the first region of the playback screen to the second region of the playback screen with the prescribed object.

10. The method of claim 9, if the touch and drag input is received on the outputted preview screen, the method further comprises activating a shake correction function of the camera.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the prescribed time is a first prescribed time, and if the touch and drag input is not received for more than a second prescribed time, the method further comprises resuming the output of the preview screen.

12. The method of claim 9, further comprising storing an audio memo received via a microphone as an audio memo associated with the video.

13. The method of claim 9, wherein the playback screen of the recorded video is outputted when a playback command is received.

14. The method of claim 9, wherein when the stored handwriting memo is outputted, the playback screen pauses a playback of the video.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein if an input touching the outputted handwriting memo is received, the playback screen outputting step resumes the playback of the video.

16. The method of claim 9, wherein the method further comprises:

outputting the stored handwriting memo in the playback screen based on a timing corresponding to a timing when the handwriting memo is inputted in the preview screen.
