Mobile terminal and image control method thereof
View Patent ↗A mobile terminal including a wireless communication unit configured to connect to the Internet to receive a Web page, a display unit configured to display the Web page, and a controller configured to receive an input signal corresponding to a selection of at least one image included in the displayed Web page, to hide or un-hide the selected at least one image, and to reconfigure and display the reconfigured Web page such that an image region where the selected at least one image is located is reduced and other regions of the Web page are increased when the selected at least one image is hid.
1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
a wireless communication unit configured to connect to the Internet to receive a web page;
a display unit configured to display the web page;
a sensing unit configured to sense an orientation of the mobile terminal; and
a controller configured to:
present the web page according to the orientation of the mobile terminal;
change a size of an image on the web page presented on the display unit in response to a touch applied to effect a change in the size of the image;
reconfigure a boundary of the image displayed on the web page presented on the display unit according to the change in the size of the image; and
move objects positioned adjacent to the boundary of the image on the web page presented on the display unit toward the boundary of the image.
2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to save the image.
3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the size of the image presented on the display unit is increased or decreased in response to the touch applied to change the size of the image.
4. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the objects positioned adjacent to the boundary of the image comprise text regions on the web page.
5. The mobile terminal of claim 1 ,
wherein the controller is further configured to hide or show the image on the web page according to the orientation of the mobile terminal.
6. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to hide the image when the orientation of the mobile terminal is in a portrait orientation, and to show the image when the orientation of the mobile terminal is in a landscape orientation.
7. The mobile terminal of claim 6 , wherein the controller is further configured to display the image hidden from the web page on a sub-display unit of the mobile terminal.
8. A method of controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
connecting to the Internet to receive a web page;
displaying the web page on a display unit;
sensing an orientation of the mobile terminal;
presenting the web page according to the orientation of the mobile terminal;
changing a size of an image on the web page presented on the display unit in response to a touch applied to effect a change in the size of the image;
reconfiguring a boundary of the image displayed on the web page presented on the display unit according to the change in the size of the image; and
moving objects positioned adjacent to the boundary of the image on the web page presented on the display unit toward the boundary of the image.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
saving the image.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the size of the image presented on the display unit is increased or decreased in response to the touch applied to change the size of the image.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the objects positioned adjacent to the boundary of the image comprise text regions on the web page.
12. The method of claim 8 ,
wherein the image is hidden from or shown on the web page according to the orientation of the mobile terminal.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the image is hidden from the web page when the orientation of the mobile terminal is in a portrait orientation, and is shown on the web page when the orientation of the mobile terminal is in a landscape orientation.
14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
displaying the image hidden from the web page on a sub-display unit of the mobile terminal.
