Mobile terminal and control method therefor

1. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a display unit;

a transceiver configured to perform wireless communication with a drone;

a sensing unit;

an input unit; and

a controller configured to sense a first touch signal of touching at least one partial area of map content displayed by the display unit, the first touch signal including a drag touch signal of moving along a first path with a first pressure and a first speed,

wherein the controller is further configured to:

set a moving path of the drone including a departure point of the drone and an arrival point of the drone based on the first path of the drag touch signal,

set a moving speed of the drone based on the first speed of the drag touch signal,

set a moving altitude of the drone based on the first pressure of the drag touch signal,

control the wireless communication unit to transmit, to the drone, a control signal based on at least one of the set moving path, the set moving speed or the set moving altitude of the drone,

in response to sensing a second touch signal of touching a first area on the map content within a preset time after sensing the first touch signal, transmit a signal for controlling a direction of a camera in the drone for photographing the first area based on the second touch signal,

receive an input of an altitude of the first area through the input unit, and

adjust the direction of the camera based on the received input of the altitude.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the second touch signal is sensed while the first signal is being sensed.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein if the second touch signal is not sensed within the preset time after sensing the first touch signal, the controller is further configured to automatically determine and set the first area based on the first path of the first touch signal.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the first pressure corresponds to at least one of a preset pressure sensed from the display unit and a preset distance of a pointer located vertical to the display unit.

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

in response to receiving a signal indicating that the drone has arrived at the arrival point, transmit a signal, to the drone, for controlling the drone to return to the departure point.

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

in response to sensing a third touch signal after the moving path, the moving altitude and the moving speed of the drone have been set, change the moving path, the moving altitude or the moving speed of the drone based on the third touch signal,

wherein the third touch signal includes a drag touch signal of moving along a second path with a second pressure and a second speed.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to display an indicator on the map content based on at least one of the set moving path, the moving speed or the moving altitude of the drone.

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

transmit a control signal to the drone based on at least one of the departure point of the drone or the arrival point of the drone.

9. A method of controlling a drone, the method comprising:

displaying map content;

sensing a first touch signal of touching at least one partial area of the map content, the first touch signal including a drag touch signal of moving along a first path with a first pressure and a first speed;

setting a moving path including a departure point and an arrival point of a drone based on the first path of the drag touch signal;

setting a moving speed of the drone based on the first speed of the drag touch signal;

setting a moving altitude of the drone based on the first pressure of the drag touch signal;

transmitting a control signal to the drone, via a transceiver, the control signal being based on at least one of the set moving path, the set moving speed or the set moving altitude of the drone;

in response to sensing a second touch signal of touching a first area on the map content within a preset time after sensing the first touch signal, transmitting a signal for controlling a direction of a camera in the drone for photographing the first area based on the second touch signal;

receiving an input of an altitude of the first area; and

adjusting the direction of the camera based on the input of the altitude.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second touch signal is sensed while the first signal is being sensed.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

automatically determining and setting the first area based on the first path of the first touch signal when the second touch signal is not sensed within the preset time after sensing the first touch signal.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first pressure corresponds to at least one of a preset pressure sensed from a display unit and a preset distance of a pointer located vertical to the display unit.

13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

in response to receiving a signal indicating that the drone has arrived at the arrival point, transmitting a signal, to the drone, for controlling the drone to return to the departure point.

14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

in response to sensing a third touch signal after the moving path, the moving altitude and the moving speed of the drone have been set, changing the moving path, the moving altitude or the moving speed of the drone based on the third touch signal,

wherein the third touch signal includes a drag touch signal of moving along a second path with a second pressure and a second speed.

15. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

displaying an indicator on the map content based on at least one of the set moving path, the moving speed or the moving altitude of the drone.
