Mobile terminal and method for controlling the same

1. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a body;

a display coupled to the body;

a user input unit;

a sensing unit configured to sense inclination of the main body relative to a reference plane and to sense direction of the inclination; and

a controller configured to:

cause the display to display a first area of a page;

screen-capture the first area when an input is received at the user input unit;

screen-capture a second area of the page consecutive to the screen-capture of the first area when the page is scrolled in a first direction determined according to the sensed direction of the inclination and while the input is being received at the user input unit, wherein the second area is an area being displayed next to the first area of the page;

screen-capture a third area of the page consecutive to the screen-capture of the first area when the page is rolled back in a second direction determined according to a change in the sensed direction of the inclination and while the input is being received at the user input unit, wherein the third area is a previously displayed area prior to the first area of the page; and

cause the display to display an image object including a thumbnail representative of at least a portion of the screen-captured first area, second area, and third area.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the screen-capture of the third area does not include any previously captured areas of the page.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

display guide information related to screen capture corresponding to the sensed first or second direction when the first area of the page is displayed and the input is received at the user input unit.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

cause the display to consecutively display a plurality of additional areas of the page when the page is continued to be scrolled in the first direction; and

screen-capture the plurality of additional areas of the page consecutive to the screen-capture of the first area when the page is continued to be scrolled in the first direction and while the input is being received at the user input unit.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 4 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

stop the screen-capture of the plurality of additional areas when a preset gesture is input during the screen-capture of the plurality of additional areas.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 5 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

cause the display to display an area of the page to be screen-captured next after the preset gesture is input to the body; and

restart the screen-capture of the plurality of additional areas when a further preset gesture input is received.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 5 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

vary speed of the scrolling of the page according to a varying degree of the inclination.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 4 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

continue the screen-capture of the plurality of additional areas of the page in the first direction when the input received at the user input unit includes a first key combination; and

stop the screen-capture of the plurality of additional areas of the page in the first direction, and screen-capture a plurality of additional areas of the page in a second direction, exclusive of screen-captured additional areas captured in the first direction, when the input received at the user input unit includes a second key combination that is different from the first combination.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

cause the display to change at least one of a displayed position or shape of the image object in response to a change in degree of the sensed inclination or a change in the sensed direction.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 4 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

stop the scrolling of the page and the screen-capture of the plurality of additional areas of the page when the input at the user input unit is released; and

permit user editing to the image object after the stopping of the scrolling of the page and the screen-capture of the plurality of additional areas of the page.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 4 , wherein the controller is further configured to

divide one area of the plurality of additional areas into first and second portions while the page is continued to be scrolled in the first direction, wherein the dividing is in response to a touch received at the display, and wherein the first portion is included in the screen-captured plurality of additional areas and the second portion is not included in the screen-captured plurality of additional areas.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

cause the display to display a graphic object notifying of direction and degree of the scrolling of the page corresponding to at least one of degree of the inclination or direction of the inclination.

13. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

cause the display to display another page by turning the page in a lateral direction relative to a viewing orientation in response to a touch input received at the display in the lateral direction; and

screen-capture the another page.

14. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , further comprising:

a memory, wherein the controller is further configured to:

store in the memory the screen-captured areas in response to a received input.

15. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a display coupled to the body;

an input unit; and

a controller configured to:

cause the display to display a first area of a page;

screen-capture the first area when an input is received at the user input unit;

cause the display to scroll the page in a first direction and capture a second area of the page when the received input is a first key combination;

cause the display to scroll the page in a second direction different from the first direction and capture a third area of the page when the received input is a second key combination; and

cause the display to display an image object including a thumbnail representative of at least a portion of the screen-captured areas,

wherein the second area is an area being displayed next to the first area of the page and the third area is a previously displayed area prior to the first area of the page.

16. The mobile terminal of claim 15 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

stop the scrolling of the page in the first direction and scroll the page in the second direction when the second key combination is input after the first key combination is input.
