Due to the demands of consumers due to the expansion of the mobile communication terminal, various functions such as broadcast reception are added to the mobile communication terminal in addition to the general voice call.

Recently, the function of broadcast reception tends to be fused with the original function of the mobile communication terminal. For example, it is possible to capture an image received through broadcasting and use it as various background screens of a mobile communication terminal, or transmit the captured image to a third party through MMS (Multimedial Messaging Service). .

In other words, in the past, the broadcast image was simply stored for the purpose of simply storing it and opening it for future viewing. However, recently, the purpose of capturing the broadcast image is more diversified than in the past. The frequency is much higher.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for capturing an image and a terminal capable of implementing the same.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a terminal comprising: capturing an arbitrary image from an image being displayed, and simultaneously displaying the captured image with the image being displayed. Provides an image capture method.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a display unit for displaying an image, a memory unit for storing any image captured from the image being displayed, and the display such that the captured image is displayed simultaneously with the image being displayed. It provides a terminal including a control unit for controlling the memory unit.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

The present invention can be applied to various types of terminals such as a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a game machine, etc., as long as the terminal can receive a broadcast. However, hereinafter, for the sake of simplicity, the present invention will be described by taking a case where the mobile terminal for a mobile phone receives a mobile broadcast as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, it should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the following description and embodiments.

First, a configuration of a mobile terminal according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing a configuration of a mobile terminal according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile terminal 1 according to the present invention includes a mobile broadcast receiving unit 10, a memory unit 20, a display unit 30, an input unit 40, and a mobile communication transmitting and receiving unit 50. , And the control unit 60. Of course, the mobile terminal according to the present invention will be configured to include other than the above-described components, but other than the above-described components are not directly related to the present invention for the sake of brevity of description will be described in detail herein. Omitted below.

Looking at each of these components, the mobile broadcast receiver 10 receives the mobile broadcast. Here, the mobile broadcast refers to a broadcast service that can receive broadcasts on the go, such as MediaFlo in the United States, Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) in Korea, DVB-H in Europe, and the like. Regardless of the broadcast standard, all of them belong to the category of mobile broadcasting.

The memory unit 20 stores software for driving various functions provided by the mobile terminal 1 and various data thereof. In particular, the memory unit 20 serves to store the images captured according to the present invention to be described later.

The display unit 30 displays a screen according to a real-time operating situation of the mobile terminal 1 and various functions provided by the mobile terminal 1. In particular, the display unit 30 displays images captured according to the present invention described below. The display unit 30 is preferably composed of a touch screen.

The input unit 40 allows a terminal user to input various commands or information to the mobile terminal 1. If the display unit 30 is not configured as a touch screen, a separate input unit is an essential component that must be present in the mobile terminal for inputting various commands or information. Otherwise, the separate input unit is required. Therefore, it may be omitted.

The mobile communication transceiver 50 enables the mobile terminal to perform voice communication, short message service (SMS) communication, multimedia messaging service (MMS) communication, etc. with a third party through a mobile communication network.

The controller 60 controls the entire terminal including the mobile broadcast receiver 10, the memory 20, the display 30, the input 40, and the mobile communication transceiver 50. It has a role to control. In particular, the control unit 60 controls the components so that the image capture broadcast according to the present invention to be described later can be implemented in the mobile terminal (1).

An embodiment of an image capturing method according to the present invention implemented in the mobile terminal 1 configured as described above will now be described. In the following embodiment, it is assumed that the display unit 30 of the mobile terminal 1 is configured as a touch screen. However, even if the display unit 30 is not configured as a touch screen, the embodiment may be implemented through key manipulation of the input unit 40. However, more complicated key manipulation is required than when implemented with a touch screen. Therefore, it should be noted that the present invention is not applied only when the display unit is a touch screen.

1st Example

An image capturing method according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. 2 and 3 are diagrams illustrating screen transitions of a display unit of a mobile terminal in which an image capturing method according to a first embodiment of the present invention is implemented.

First, a screen configuration of the display unit for implementing the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

As illustrated in (2-1) of FIG. 2, the screen of the display unit 30 is divided into a first area 100 and a second area 200. The second area 200 is again divided into at least one or more detailed areas. Hereinafter, for clarity of explanation, it is assumed that the second region 200 is divided into four subregions (that is, the first to fourth subregions 220, 240, 260, and 280). Continue.

As shown in (2-1) of FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 1 displays the received mobile broadcast image in the first area 100, preferably in real time.

While the terminal user is watching the video of the mobile broadcast displayed in the first area 100, if the favorite image is displayed, the terminal user touches the first area 100.

Then, as shown in (2-2) of Fig. 2, the still image of the touched moment is captured.

Then, when the terminal user drags the touch to one subregion of the four subregions of the second region and releases the touch (hereinafter, for clarity of explanation, "drag and release the touch"). Is simply " drag "), the captured still image is stored while the one detail area is displayed.

However, the four sub-regions according to the first embodiment of the present invention have a predetermined use of the image to be captured here. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the use of the image captured in the first sub-region 220 is a background screen when the screen is “standby,” and the use of the image captured in the second sub-region 240 is used. The background image of 'when the call', the use of the image captured in the third sub-region 260 is the background image of 'power on', the use of the image captured in the fourth sub-region 280 is' when the power off 'S wallpapers.

Therefore, as shown in (2-3) and (2-4) of FIG. 2, when the terminal user drags the touch to the first detail region 220, the captured still image is the first detail region. It is displayed and stored at 220, which is then used as a background screen at the time of the 'standby screen'. This is similarly applied to the second sub-region 240 to the fourth sub-region 280, so that the captured image is dragged to the second sub-region 240 to the fourth sub-region 280 for clarity. I will omit that.

Capturing a video may be configured to be possible, which will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

While the terminal user is viewing a video of the mobile broadcast displayed in the first area 100 of (3-1) of FIG. 3, if the favorite image is displayed, (3-2) and (3) of FIG. As shown in -3), after the first region is touched, the touch is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) or more.

Then, as shown in (3-3) of Fig. 3, the video while holding the touch is captured.

Then, for example, if the terminal user drags the touch to the second sub-region 240 of the second region 200 as shown in (3-4) of FIG. 3, the captured video is shown in FIG. As shown in (3-5) of 3, the second sub-area 240 is displayed and stored, which is then used as a background image of 'when the call comes'.

On the other hand, even if there is a captured image already dragged in the first detail region, if another image is captured and dragged in the first detail region, the first captured image is deleted and the another image is the first detail. It may also be configured to be stored in an area.

Second Example

An image capturing method according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4. 4 is a diagram illustrating a display screen transition of a mobile terminal in which an image capturing method according to the second embodiment of the present invention is implemented.

First, a screen configuration of the display unit for implementing the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

As shown in FIG. 4 (4-1), the screen of the display unit 30 is divided into a first area 100 and a second area 200, and the second area 200 is again at least. One or more sub-regions (ie, first to fourth sub-regions 220, 240, 260, and 280) are divided. However, unlike the first embodiment described above, the sub-regions have no predetermined use for an image to be captured and stored therein. This is the point that the second embodiment differs most greatly from the first embodiment described above.

Hereinafter, a second embodiment implemented in the display unit screen configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

When a favorite image is displayed in the first region, the terminal user touches the image in the first region and drags the image to the detail region of the second region. If the above operation is repeated, as shown in (4-2) of FIG. 4, the captured image is collected in the second area 200.

When the desired image is collected in the second area 200 as desired, the terminal user touches one of the detailed areas (eg, the first detailed area) as shown in (4-3) of FIG. 4.

Then, as shown in (4-4) of Fig. 4, a window for designating the purpose of the captured image is formed in the first subregion.

Then, the terminal user can designate the use of the image captured in the first sub-region by selecting one of the uses listed in the window.

This use designation operation may be repeatedly performed for the second to fourth subregions.

On the other hand, also in the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, it is possible to capture a video or to replace it with another image while deleting the image of the detail region. Since this is the same as the content of the first embodiment, a detailed description will be omitted for simplicity.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. For example, in the above, the case of capturing an image while watching a mobile broadcast broadcast in real time has been described, but those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains also to the case of capturing the image while watching the recorded broadcast. It will be readily apparent from the description that it can be done without departing from the scope of the invention. In addition, at present, the mobile terminal for receiving mobile broadcasts has been described in many cases (for example, for a background screen) by using an image captured by the mobile terminal. However, the embodiments of the present invention described above are used for general broadcast reception. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be extended to a terminal.

Accordingly, the above detailed description should not be construed as limiting in all aspects and should be considered as illustrative. The scope of the invention should be determined by reasonable interpretation of the appended claims, and all changes within the equivalent scope of the invention are included in the scope of the invention.

Referring to the broadcast image capture method according to the present invention described above and the effects of the broadcast receiving terminal that can implement the same as follows.

In recent years, the purpose of capturing broadcast video has become more diversified than in the prior art, and thus, the frequency of capturing video during broadcast reception is much higher. According to the present invention, there is an advantage in that it is possible to capture the image of the broadcast to be more conveniently and to meet a variety of purposes than the conventional.
