Mobile terminal and method for controlling the same
Disclosed are a mobile terminal having a display unit for outputting screen information and capable of enhancing a user's convenience related to the screen information, and a method for controlling the same. The mobile terminal includes: a touch screen configured to display screen information, and a controller configured to select a region of the touch screen based on first and second touch inputs when the first and second touch inputs applied to different points of the touch screen are maintained for a reference amount of time without being released, and configured to execute a function related to the selected region when a touch input corresponding to a preset condition is applied to the touch screen while the first and second touch inputs are maintained without being released.
1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
a camera;
a touch screen;
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 touch screen, a preview moving image obtained by the camera;
detecting a first storage command while the preview moving image is displayed on the touch screen;
displaying, on the touch screen and in response to the first storage command, a first moving image obtained by the camera, wherein the first moving image is stored in the at least one memory;
executing, in response to the first storage command, a first storage operation on the preview moving image displayed on the touch screen to store the preview moving image as the first moving image;
detecting a first touch input on the touch screen while the first moving image is displayed on the touch screen;
selecting, in response to the first touch input, a partial region of the touch screen while the first moving image is displayed on the touch screen;
displaying, on the touch screen, at least one boundary line distinguishing the partial region from a remaining region of the touch screen while the first moving image is displayed on the touch screen;
detecting a second storage command while the first moving image and the boundary line are displayed on the touch screen;
displaying, on the touch screen and in response to a second storage command, a second moving image in the partial region while the first moving image is displayed on the touch screen, wherein the second moving image is stored in the at least one memory;
executing, in response to the second storage command, a second storage operation on a portion of the first moving image displayed in the partial region to store the portion of the first moving image as the second moving image;
changing at least one of a size or a position of the partial region, based on a third touch input applied to the at least one boundary line while the second storage operation is executed; and
resetting the partial region while the second storage operation is executed.
2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the first touch input is detected on the touch screen while the first storage operation is executed on the preview moving image displayed on the touch screen.
3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
displaying, on the touch screen while the first storage operation is executed on the preview moving image displayed on the touch screen, a first time duration related to a progress of the first storage operation.
4. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
displaying, on the touch screen, a second time duration related to a progress of the second storage operation while the second storage operation and the first storage operation are executed.
5. The mobile terminal of claim 4 , wherein the operations further comprise:
detecting a second touch input; and
in response to the second touch input, terminating at least one of the first storage operation or the second storage operation.
6. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the first moving image is stored in a first file in the at least one memory, and
wherein the second moving image is stored in a second file, different from the first file, in the at least one memory.
7. A method of controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
displaying, on a touch screen of the mobile terminal, a preview moving image obtained by a camera of the mobile terminal;
detecting a first storage command while the preview moving image is displayed on the touch screen;
displaying, on the touch screen and in response to the first storage command, a first moving image obtained by the camera, wherein the first moving image is stored in at least one memory of the mobile terminal;
executing, in response to the first storage command, a first storage operation on the preview moving image displayed on the touch screen to store the preview moving image as the first moving image;
detecting a first touch input on the touch screen while the first moving image is displayed on the touch screen;
selecting, in response to the first touch input, a partial region of the touch screen while the first moving image is displayed on the touch screen;
displaying, on the touch screen, at least one boundary line distinguishing the partial region from a remaining region of the touch screen while the first moving image is displayed on the touch screen;
detecting a second storage command while the first moving image and the boundary line are displayed on the touch screen;
displaying, on the touch screen and in response to a second storage command, a second moving image in the partial region while the first moving image is displayed on the touch screen, wherein the second moving image is stored in the at least one memory;
executing, in response to the second storage command, a second storage operation on a portion of the first moving image displayed in the partial region to store the portion of the first moving image as the second moving image;
changing at least one of a size or a position of the partial region, based on a third touch input applied to the at least one boundary line while the second storage operation is executed; and
resetting the partial region while the second storage operation is executed.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first touch input is detected on the touch screen while the first storage operation is executed on the preview moving image displayed on the touch screen.
9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
displaying, on the touch screen while the first storage operation is executed on the preview moving image displayed on the touch screen, a first time duration related to a progress of the first storage operation.
10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
displaying, on the touch screen, a second time duration related to a progress of the second storage operation while the second storage operation and the first storage operation are executed.
11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
detecting a second touch input; and
in response to the second touch input, terminating at least one of the first storage operation or the second storage operation.
12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first moving image is stored in a first file in the at least one memory, and
wherein the second moving image is stored in a second file, different from the first file, in the at least one memory.
