Method for reproducing moving picture and mobile terminal using this method

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

reproducing, via a display on the mobile terminal, a moving picture;

extracting, via a controller on the mobile terminal, a still picture at an interrupted timing when the moving picture reproduction is interrupted;

generating, via the controller after the reproducing of the moving picture begins and in response to the moving picture reproduction being interrupted, at least one of a graphic image and numeral information that represents information about a reproduction rate, said information about the reproduction rate not being a time status of the reproduction of the moving picture; and

after the moving picture has been interrupted and is not being reproduced, displaying, via the display, the still picture overlapped by the at least one of the graphic image and the numeral information on the moving picture,

wherein the still picture overlapped by the at least one of the graphic image and the numeral information are displayed together on a moving picture list that is for selecting a moving picture to be reproduced from a list of moving pictures, and

wherein the at least one of the graphic iamge and the numeral information is only displayed on the moving picture list if a respective moving picture has been reproduced on the display and then interrupted and is not displayed on the moving picture list if a respective moving picture has not yet been reproduced on the display, thereby distinguishing the moving picture that has been reproduced and interrupted from the moving picture that has not been reproduced.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interrupted timing is a position of the moving picture where the reproduction is paused or stopped.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interruption of the moving picture reproduction is generated by at least one of a user input, a power shortage, a device malfunction, and an external shock.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the still picture and the at least one of the graphic image and the numeral information are displayed as a first thumbnail image corresponding to a reduced size of a combination of the still picture and the progress state bar.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

displaying a second thumbnail image based on a representative picture of the moving picture when the moving picture reproduction is stopped; and

displaying the first and second thumbnail images on the moving picture list,

wherein the interrupted timing is a paused timing.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the still picture at the paused timing is a captured image of the moving picture.

7. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a display unit configured to reproduce a moving picture; and

a controller configured to:

control the display unit to extract a still picture at an interrupted timing when the moving picture reproduction is interrupted,

generate after the reproducing of the moving picture begins and in response to the moving picture reproduction being interrupted, at least one of a graphic image and numeral information that represents information about a reproduction rate, said information about the reproduction rate not being a time status of the reproduction of the moving picture, and

display, after the moving picture has been interrupted and is not being reproduced, the still picture overlapped by the at least one of the graphic image and the numeral information on the moving picture,

wherein the still picture overlapped by the at least one of the graphic image and the numeral information are displayed together on a moving picture list that is for selecting a moving picture to be reproduced from a list of moving pictures, and

wherein the at least one of the graphic image and the numeral information is only displayed on the moving picture list if a respective moving picture has been reproduced on the display and then interrupted and is not displayed on the moving picture list if a respective moving picture has not yet been reproduced on the display, thereby distinguishing the moving picture that has been reproduced and interrupted from the moving picture that has not been reproduced.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 7 , wherein the interrupted timing is a position of the moving picture where the reproduction is paused or stopped.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured to interrupt the moving picture reproduction based on at least one of a user input, a power shortage, a device malfunction, and an external shock.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 7 , wherein the still picture and the at least one of the graphic image and the numeral information are displayed as a first thumbnail image corresponding to a reduced size of a combination of the still picture and the progress state bar.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 10 , wherein the controller is further configured to display a second thumbnail image based on a representative picture of the moving picture when the moving picture reproduction is stopped, and display the first and second thumbnail images on the moving picture, and

wherein the interrupted timing is a paused timing.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 11 , wherein the still picture at the paused timing is a moving picture captured image.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the still picture at the interrupted timing is a moving picture captured image.

14. The mobile of terminal of claim 7 , wherein the still picture at the interrupted timing is a moving picture captured image.

15. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

interrupting the moving picture reproduction by at least one of a power shortage, a device malfunction, and an external shock; and

displaying a moving picture list,

wherein the still picture overlapped by at least one of the graphics image and the numeral information is displayed on the moving picture list.

16. The mobile terminal of claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured to interrupt the moving picture reproduction by at least one of a power shortage, a device malfunction, and an external shock, and to display a moving picture list, and wherein the still picture overlapped by at least one of the graphic image and the numeral information is displayed on the moving picture list.
