Abstract

A method of operating a mobile terminal includes obtaining at least one image and determining event information that is to be associated with the obtained at least one image. The method also includes storing, in computer memory, the obtained at least one image and information that associates the obtained at least one image with the event information. The method additionally includes detecting an event on the mobile terminal, and determining that the detected event corresponds to the event information. The method further includes displaying, on a display of the mobile terminal and based on the determination that the detected event corresponds to the event information, a first image among the at least one image that has been stored and associated with the event information.

Claims (63)

1. A mobile terminal comprising:

an input interface;

a display unit;

at least one processor; and

at least one memory that is operably connectable to the at least one processor and that has stored thereon instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

displaying, on the display unit, an image;

receiving, through the input interface while the image is displayed on the display unit, a voice input comprising time information indicating a time point at which the image is to be displayed;

storing, in the at least one memory, the image with the time information; and

displaying, on the display unit, the image at the time point that was indicated by the time information.

2. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the input interface comprises a microphone configured to receive the voice input.

3. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

outputting a query for obtaining the time point at which the image is to be displayed, based on the time point at which the image is to be displayed not being specified by the voice input.

4. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a wireless communication unit configured to communicate with an external device,

wherein the operations further comprise:

transmitting the displayed image to a second mobile terminal based on telephone number information associated with the second mobile terminal stored in the at least one memory.

5. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

storing a plurality of time information relating, respectively, to a plurality of images; and

displaying the plurality of images.

6. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

obtaining additional information relating to the displayed image through a web search; and

displaying the obtained additional information on the display unit.

7. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the image is displayed at an edge of a screen of the display unit at the time point that was indicated by the time information.

8. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein displaying, on the display unit, the image at the time point that was indicated by the time information comprises:

displaying a first portion of the image at an edge of a screen of the display unit; and

based on a user input selecting the displayed first portion, displaying a second portion of the image that includes both the first portion and a third portion of the image different than the first portion.

9. The mobile terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:

displaying a first user interface configured to receive a first user input to delete the displayed image and a second user interface configured to receive a second user input to store the displayed image.

10. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the voice input further comprises an expression that indicates the image displayed on the display unit, and

wherein the operations further comprise: matching the time information with the image based on the expression in the voice input that indicates the image.

11. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , further comprising a mechanical key, and

wherein the operations further comprise receiving an input to push the mechanical key while the image is displayed on the display unit, and

wherein the voice input is received, while the image is displayed on the display unit, based on receiving the input to push the mechanical key.

12. A method of operating a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

displaying, on a display unit of the mobile terminal, an image;

receiving, through an input interface of the mobile terminal while the image is displayed on the display unit, a voice input comprising time information indicating a time point at which the image is to be displayed;

storing, in at least one memory, image information with the time information; and

displaying, on the display unit, the image at the time point that was indicated by the time information.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the voice input is received from a microphone included in the mobile terminal.

14. The method according to claim 12 , further comprising:

outputting a query for obtaining the time point at which the image is to be displayed, based on the time point at which the image is to be displayed or not being specified by the voice input.

15. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the mobile terminal further comprises a wireless communication unit configured to communicate with an external device, and

wherein the method further comprises:

transmitting the displayed image to a second mobile terminal based on telephone number information associated with the second mobile terminal stored in the at least one memory.

16. The method according to claim 12 , further comprising:

storing a plurality of time information relating, respectively, to a plurality of images; and

displaying the plurality of images.

17. The method according to claim 12 , further comprising:

obtaining additional information relating to the displayed image through a web search; and

displaying the obtained additional information on the display unit.

18. The method according to claim 12 , wherein

the image is displayed at an edge of a screen of the display unit at the time point that was indicated by the time information.

19. The method according to claim 12 , wherein displaying, on the display unit, the image comprises:

displaying a first portion of the image at an edge of a screen of the display unit; and

based on a user input selecting the displayed first portion, displaying a second portion of the image that includes both the first portion and a third portion of the image different than the first portion.

20. The method according to claim 19 , further comprising:

displaying a first user interface configured to receive a first user input to delete the displayed image and a second user interface configured to receive a second user input to store the displayed image.

21. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the voice input further comprises an expression that indicates the image displayed on the display unit, and

wherein the method further comprises: matching the time information with the image based on the expression in the voice input that indicates the image.

22. The method according to claim 12 , further comprising:

receiving an input to push a mechanical key of the mobile terminal while the image is displayed on the display unit,

wherein the voice input is received, while the image is displayed on the display unit, based on receiving the input to push the mechanical key.
