Mobile terminal and controlling method thereof

1. A method for controlling a drone using a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

establishing communication with a drone;

displaying a screen for controlling the drone on a touchscreen of the mobile terminal, wherein the displayed screen comprises a map including a location of the mobile terminal;

causing a change in altitude of the drone in response to a first drag input received via the touchscreen in a first direction;

causing the drone to rotate about an axis while in flight according to a second direction at which a second drag input is received via the touchscreen;

displaying video data obtained via a camera of the drone;

transmitting location information related to an object to the drone in response to a touch input received at a point of the displayed screen, the point corresponding to the object; and

receiving video data including the object from the drone.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

storing at least two photos obtained by the drone as a single file in a memory in response to a third drag input received via the touchscreen in a circular pattern, the at least two photos obtained via the camera according to a direction corresponding to the circular pattern.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying information related to a specific location within the map and at least one photo within a preset range, the at least one photo received from an external server;

obtaining tag information associated with a specific photo selected from the at least one photo;

transmitting the obtained tag information to the drone; and

receiving video data that is obtained by the drone based on the tag information.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the tag information comprises Global Position System (GPS) information and direction information associated with the specific photo.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing at least two modes used to change a moving path of the drone in a memory.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a control signal for commanding a panoramic photograph mode to the drone in response to a third drag input received via the touchscreen in a circular pattern; and

transmitting a control signal for commanding a burst photograph mode to the drone in response to a fourth drag input received via the touchscreen in a pinch-in or pinch-out pattern.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying a status screen at a specific location of the touchscreen while the video data is displayed on the touchscreen, the status screen comprising information related to a status of the drone.

8. A mobile terminal comprising:

a communication unit configured to communicate with a drone;

a touchscreen; and

a controller configured to:

cause the touchscreen to display a screen for controlling the drone, wherein the displayed screen includes a map including a location of the mobile terminal;

cause a change in altitude of the drone in response to a first drag input received via the touchscreen in a first direction;

cause the drone to rotate about an axis while in flight according to a direction at which a second drag input is received via the touchscreen;

cause the touchscreen to display video data obtained via a camera of the drone;

cause the communication unit to transmit location information related to an object to the drone in response to a touch input received at a point of the displayed screen, the point corresponding to the object; and

cause the communication unit to receive video data including the object from the drone.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 8 , further comprising a memory, wherein the controller is further configured to cause the memory to store at least two photos obtained by the drone as a single file in a memory in response to a third drag input received via the touchscreen in a circular pattern, the at least two photos obtained via the camera according to a direction corresponding to the circular pattern.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

cause the touchscreen to display information related to a specific location within the map and at least one photo within a preset range, the at least one photo received from an external server;

obtain tag information associated with a specific photo selected from the at least one photo;

cause the communication unit to transmit the obtained tag information to the drone; and

cause the communication unit to receive video data that is obtained by the drone based on the tag information.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 10 , wherein the tag information comprises Global Position System (GPS) information and direction information associated with the specific photo.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 8 , further comprising a memory, wherein the controller is further configured to cause the memory to store at least two modes used to change a moving path of the drone.

13. The mobile terminal of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to cause the communication unit to:

transmit a control signal for commanding a panoramic photograph mode to the drone in response to a third drag input received via the touchscreen in a circular pattern; and

transmit a control signal for commanding a burst photograph mode to the drone in response to a fourth drag input received via the touchscreen in a pinch-in or pinch-out pattern.

14. The mobile terminal of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to cause the touchscreen to display a status screen at a specific location of the touchscreen while the video data is displayed on the touchscreen, the status screen comprising information related to a status of the drone.
