For example, when the mobile terminal is in the call mode, a UI (User Interface) or a GUI (Graphic User Interface) associated with a call is displayed. When the mobile terminal 100 is in the video communication mode or the photographing mode, the display unit 151 displays the photographed and / or received video or UI and GUI.

The display unit 151 may be a liquid crystal display (LCD), a thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a flexible display display, a 3D display, and an e-ink display.

Some of these displays may be transparent or light transmissive so that they can be seen through. This can be referred to as a transparent display, and a typical example of the transparent display is TOLED (Transparent OLED) and the like. The rear structure of the display unit 151 may also be of a light transmission type. With this structure, the user can see the object located behind the terminal body through the area occupied by the display unit 151 of the terminal body.

There may be two or more display units 151 according to the embodiment of the mobile terminal 100. For example, in the mobile terminal 100, a plurality of display portions may be spaced apart from one another, or may be disposed integrally with one another, and may be disposed on different surfaces, respectively.

Also, the display unit 151 may be configured as a stereoscopic display unit 152 for displaying a stereoscopic image.

Here, a stereoscopic image represents a 3-dimensional stereoscopic image, and a 3-dimensional stereoscopic image represents a progressive depth and reality in which objects are located on a monitor or a screen, It is an image that makes you feel the same as the space. 3D stereoscopic images are implemented using binocular disparity. The binocular parallax means a parallax caused by the position of two eyes away from each other. When two eyes see two different images and the images are transmitted to the brain through the retina and fused, the depth and real feeling of the stereoscopic image can be felt .

The stereoscopic display unit 152 may be applied to a three-dimensional display system such as a stereoscopic system (glasses system), an autostereoscopic system (no-glasses system), and a projection system (holographic system). The stereoscopic method, which is widely used in home television receivers, includes a Wheatstone stereoscopic method.

Examples of the autostereoscopic method include a parallax barrier method, a lenticular method, an integral imaging method, and a switchable lens method. The projection method includes a reflection type holographic method and a transmission type holographic method.

Generally, 3D stereoscopic images consist of left image (left eye image) and right image (right eye image). A top-down method of arranging a left image and a right image in one frame according to a method in which a left image and a right image are combined into a three-dimensional stereoscopic image, A checker board system in which pieces of a left image and a right image are arranged in a tile form, a left-to-right (right-side) Or an interlaced method in which rows are alternately arranged, and a time sequential (frame-by-frame) method in which right and left images are alternately displayed in time.

In addition, the 3D thumbnail image can generate a left image thumbnail and a right image thumbnail from the left image and right image of the original image frame, respectively, and combine them to generate one 3D thumbnail image. In general, a thumbnail means a reduced image or a reduced still image. The left image thumbnail and the right image thumbnail generated in this way are displayed on the screen with a difference of the left and right distance by the depth corresponding to the parallax between the left image and the right image, thereby exhibiting a stereoscopic spatial feeling.

The left and right images necessary for realizing the three-dimensional stereoscopic image can be displayed on the stereoscopic display unit 152 by a stereoscopic processing unit (not shown). The stereoscopic processing unit receives a 3D image and extracts a left image and a right image from the 3D image, or receives a 2D image and converts it into a left image and a right image.

On the other hand, when a display unit 151 and a sensor (hereinafter, referred to as 'touch sensor') that detects a touch operation form a mutual layer structure (hereinafter referred to as a 'touch screen' It can also be used as an input device in addition to the device. The touch sensor may have the form of, for example, a touch film, a touch sheet, a touch pad, or the like.

The touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in a pressure applied to a specific portion of the display unit 151 or a capacitance generated in a specific portion of the display unit 151 into an electrical input signal. The touch sensor can be configured to detect not only the position and area where the touch object is touched on the touch sensor but also the pressure at the time of touch. Here, the touch object may be a finger, a touch pen, a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like as an object to which a touch is applied to the touch sensor.

If there is a touch input to the touch sensor, the corresponding signal (s) is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal (s) and transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. Thus, the control unit 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched or the like.

Referring to FIG. 1, a proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in an inner region of the mobile terminal or in the vicinity of the touch screen, which is surrounded by the touch screen. The proximity sensor 141 may be provided as an example of the sensing unit 140. The proximity sensor 141 refers to a sensor that detects the presence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface or an object existing in the vicinity of the detection surface without mechanical contact using an electromagnetic force or an infrared ray. The proximity sensor 141 has a longer life than the contact type sensor and its utilization is also high.

Examples of the proximity sensor 141 include a transmission type photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection type photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection type photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation type proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor. When the touch screen is electrostatic, it is configured to detect the proximity of the pointer by a change of the electric field along the proximity of an object having conductivity (hereinafter, referred to as a pointer). In this case, the touch screen (touch sensor) may be classified as a proximity sensor.

Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the act of recognizing that the pointer is positioned on the touch screen while the pointer is not in contact with the touch screen is referred to as "proximity touch & The act of actually touching the pointer on the screen is called "contact touch. &Quot; The position where the pointer is proximately touched on the touch screen means a position where the pointer is vertically corresponding to the touch screen when the pointer is touched.

The proximity sensor 141 detects a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (for example, a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, a proximity touch movement state, and the like). Information corresponding to the detected proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern may be output on the touch screen.

In the case where the three-dimensional display unit 152 and the touch sensor have a mutual layer structure (hereinafter referred to as a 'three-dimensional touch screen') or a three-dimensional sensor that detects the touch operation and the stereoscopic display unit 152 are combined with each other The stereoscopic display unit 152 may also be used as a three-dimensional input device.

The sensing unit 140 may include a proximity sensor 141, a three-dimensional touch sensing unit 142, an ultrasonic sensing unit 143, and a camera sensing unit 144 as an example of the three-dimensional sensor.

The proximity sensor 141 measures the distance between the sensing surface (for example, a user's finger or a stylus pen) to which the touch is applied without mechanical contact using the force of the electromagnetic field or infrared rays. The terminal recognizes which part of the stereoscopic image has been touched using the distance. In particular, when the touch screen is of the electrostatic type, the proximity of the sensing object is detected by a change of the electric field according to the proximity of the sensing object, and the touch on the three-dimensional is recognized using the proximity.

The stereoscopic touch sensing unit 142 senses the strength or duration of a touch applied to the touch screen. For example, the three-dimensional touch sensing unit 142 senses a pressure to apply a touch, and when the pressing force is strong, recognizes the touch as a touch to an object located further away from the touch screen toward the inside of the terminal.

The ultrasonic sensing unit 143 is configured to recognize the position information of the sensing target using ultrasonic waves.

The ultrasound sensing unit 143 may include, for example, an optical sensor and a plurality of ultrasound sensors. The light sensor is configured to sense light, and the ultrasonic sensor is configured to sense ultrasonic waves. Since light is much faster than ultrasonic waves, the time it takes for light to reach the optical sensor is much faster than the time it takes for the ultrasonic waves to reach the ultrasonic sensor. Therefore, it is possible to calculate the position of the wave generating source using the time difference with the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the reference signal.

The camera sensing unit 144 includes at least one of a camera 121, a photo sensor, and a laser sensor.

For example, the camera 121 and the laser sensor are combined with each other to sense a touch of a sensing target with respect to a three-dimensional stereoscopic image. When the distance information detected by the laser sensor is added to the two-dimensional image photographed by the camera, three-dimensional information can be obtained.

As another example, a photosensor may be stacked on a display element. The photosensor is configured to scan the movement of the object proximate to the touch screen. More specifically, the photosensor mounts photo diodes and TRs (Transistors) in a row / column and scans the contents loaded on the photosensor using an electrical signal that varies according to the amount of light applied to the photo diode. That is, the photo sensor performs coordinate calculation of the object to be sensed according to the amount of light change, thereby acquiring position information of the object to be sensed.

The audio output module 153 can output audio data received from the wireless communication unit 110 or stored in the memory 160 in a call signal reception mode, a call mode or a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, The sound output module 153 also outputs sound signals related to functions (e.g., call signal reception sound, message reception sound, etc.) performed in the mobile terminal 100. [ The sound output module 153 may include a receiver, a speaker, a buzzer, and the like.

The alarm unit 154 outputs a signal for notifying the occurrence of an event of the mobile terminal 100. Examples of events generated in the mobile terminal 100 include call signal reception, message reception, key signal input, touch input, and the like. The alarm unit 154 may output a signal for notifying the occurrence of an event by using a form other than the video signal or the audio signal, for example, vibration. The video signal or the audio signal may be output through the display unit 151 or the sound output module 153 so that the display unit 151 and the sound output module 153 may be classified as a part of the alarm unit 154 .

The haptic module 155 generates various tactile effects that the user can feel. A typical example of the haptic effect generated by the haptic module 155 may be vibration. The intensity and pattern of the vibration generated by the hit module 155 can be controlled by the user's selection or setting of the control unit. For example, the haptic module 155 may combine and output different vibrations or sequentially output the vibrations.

In addition to the vibration, the haptic module 155 may be configured to perform various functions such as a pin arrangement vertically moving with respect to the contact skin surface, a spraying force or a suction force of the air through the injection port or the suction port, a touch on the skin surface, contact with an electrode, And various tactile effects such as an effect of reproducing a cold sensation using an endothermic or exothermic element can be generated.

The haptic module 155 can be implemented not only to transmit the tactile effect through the direct contact but also to allow the user to feel the tactile effect through the muscular sense of the finger or arm. At least two haptic modules 155 may be provided according to the configuration of the mobile terminal 100.

The advanced screen capture according to the present invention includes the meaning of backing up a screen that is currently being displayed (running). That is, the present invention stores not only an image of a screen but also information related to at least one object included in the screen, so that the current screen state can be restored later.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a screen capturing method of a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 180 may display a predetermined screen on the display unit 151 (S110).

The screen may include a menu screen, a music and video playback screen, a game execution screen, an application execution screen, and a web browser screen.

If a predetermined screen capture command is input from the user in step S120, the controller 180 stores the information related to the current screen image in step S130. The screen image is generated as a thumbnail image.

The configuration information of the screen is context information of at least one object included in the screen and includes not only the type, location, version, and link information of the object but also user setting information, that is, .

The object includes at least one or more icons, text, images, and combinations thereof included in the screen.

The user information includes screen setting information (zoom magnification, resolution, character size) and input information of the user (e.g., the number of items purchased, color, etc.).

The screen image and the configuration information of the screen may be stored in a backup folder of the gallery. In this case, the configuration information of the screen may be stored as attribute information in the captured image file, or may be stored in a separate file that matches the image file.

Example - Full Screen Capture (Home Screen)

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of performing screen capturing in the home screen, and FIG. 5 is a view for explaining the embodiment shown in FIG. 4. Referring to FIG.

4, when a screen capture command is input in a state that a home screen 50 is displayed, the controller 180 captures the currently executing home screen 50 and converts the captured home screen 50 into a JPEG file (Screen brightness sound and the like) settable on the home screen 50 and the theme information of the home screen 50 (step S220), information included in the home screen 50, that is, application icon information / position, widget icon information / And converts it into an XML file (S230).

The control unit 180 stores the home screen information converted into the XML file in the memory 160 as attribute information apxk data of the home screen image converted into the JPEG file in step S240, A capture completion message, for example, a notification message "Screen capture completed" is displayed on the display unit 180 (S250).

Example - Full screen capture (browser screen)

6 is a flowchart for explaining the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 in more detail, and is a flowchart showing an operation of performing screen capture on a predetermined browser screen, FIG. 7 is a view for explaining the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 to be.

As shown in FIG. 6, the controller 180 may display a predetermined browser screen (e.g., G market) 60 on the display unit 151 (S310).

If the user inputs a screen capture command from the user while the browser screen 60 is displayed, the controller 180 captures the currently running browser screen 60 and converts it into a JPEG file (S320) , The user input information (eg, text, the number of purchased items, the check box, the color), and the user setting information (eg, screen zoom ratio).

Accordingly, the controller 180 converts the acquired URL link address, user input information (eg, quantity of goods purchased, color) and user setting information (eg, screen zoom ratio) And stores it as attribute information (metadata) (S340). The obtained information may be stored in the header of the JPEG file.

Upon completion of the storage, the controller 180 displays a capture completion message (e.g., screen capture is completed) on the display unit 180 as shown in FIG. 7 (S350).

Example - Capture a part of the screen (browser screen)

In the present invention, the controller 180 stores the entire screen as one image (thumbnail image). However, when capturing a browser screen including a plurality of objects (text, images) as in the G-market, the entire screen is created as a single thumbnail image. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, It is difficult to recognize exactly what the included products are.

Accordingly, the present invention can display a separate pop-up window 70 for selecting a product image when a thumbnail of a browser screen is created, and generate a thumbnail image of a product selected by the user. In this case, the controller 180 automatically assigns a text tag to the generated thumbnail image according to user input. The text tag may be a browser URL or a trade name.

This method is a method of storing the URL link address of the browser as a thumbnail image instead of storing the text as text. The reason is that in the case of shopping malls, when the same search term is searched again, a product different from the previous search is often found. Especially, when it is best / planned product, it is difficult to reopen it because it is only exposed for a short time on the main screen. Even if it is retrieved through the favorite, URl link address is conventionally stored as text, It is difficult.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an operation of generating a captured image as a part of a screen at the time of capturing a browser screen, and FIG. 10 is a view for explaining the embodiment shown in FIG.

9 and 10, when a screen capture command is input in a state that a browser screen (eg, G market) is displayed, the controller 180 extracts a product image from the G market screen, In the pop-up window 70 in the form of a list (S410, S420). In this case, the control unit 180 may extract the image tag from the HTML tag of the screen, and then extract the product image corresponding to JPEG or PNG from the extracted image tag.

The user can select a plurality of product image lists displayed in the pop-up window 70 to view enlarged images. When the user selects an enlarged product image (S430), the controller 180 generates the captured product image as a captured image, that is, a thumbnail image (S440), and displays a tag input window so that the user can input the tag name, In step S450, a tag is set in the captured image with the tag name input by the user in the tag input window. The tag input window includes a text tag input window and a color tag input window.

As another example, the controller 810 may automatically set a text tag to a browser URL or a corresponding product name when generating a thumbnail image with the selected product image.

11 is a diagram illustrating an example of setting a tag by generating a captured image as a part of a screen according to the embodiment of FIG.

11, when a screen capture command is input while the browser screen is displayed, the controller 180 extracts the image files A to E from the browser screen, - Display in list form on up window 70. The predetermined size is a size that is invisible when a captured image is generated, and can be set by the user.

The control unit 810 displays a text tag input window 71 and a color tag input window 72 at the lower end of the selected image B, respectively, when the image B is selected from the displayed images A to C. The user can set a text tag (e.g., a gmarket) and a color tag (e.g., yellow) for the image B in the text tag input window 71 and the color tag input window 72, respectively.

If the user selects OK after setting the text tag (e.g., gmarket) and the color tag (e.g., yellow), the controller 180 stores the selected image B as a captured image 73 in the backup folder of the gallery. At this time, the controller 180 displays a text tag 74 and a visual cue 75 in the upper left corner of the touch screen image. When the queue is dragged, the controller 810 displays the captured captured image so that the user can edit the captured image as needed.

The above operations can be performed in the same manner in other application screens.

Example - Capture a part of the screen (Home screen)

The advanced screen capture according to the present invention can be divided into a normal mode and a smart mode. All the screen captures described above are performed in the normal capture mode.

In the present invention, the smart mode screen capture is a mode in which the capture range or area can be adjusted / selected and can be activated (initiated) by a setting of a capture menu or a separate screen capture command. For example, the normal mode screen capture according to the present invention is activated when the home key + power button (2 seconds) is input, and the smart mode screen capture is activated when the home key + power button (3 seconds) can do. In addition, the smart mode screen capture may be a predetermined touch pattern input on the touch screen 151 or an input of a predetermined hard key. For example, the touch pattern may be a long touch input for a predetermined area of the touch screen 151 or a touch input for a predetermined soft key.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of performing a screen capture of a smart mode in the present invention, and FIG. 13 is a view for explaining the embodiment shown in FIG.

12 and 13, when a smart mode screen capture command is inputted (S510) while the home screen 50 is displayed, the controller 180 directly displays the home screen 50 without capturing the screen image, A rectangular capturing range adjustment guide 80 is displayed. The user can set the capture range by adjusting the size of the capture range adjustment guide 80 (S520). If the region within the set capture range is touched, the controller 180 generates a capture image for the corresponding region and stores the captured image together with information related to the object.

In addition, if the capture range is set, the user can selectively capture only a desired portion within the range (S530). If the user selects a specific capture area A to C within the adjusted or unadjusted range 80 and touches the empty area at step S540 the controller 180 controls the capture area 80 A to C, and stores the captured image together with information of the object (S550, S560).

When the storage of the captured image and the related information is completed, the control unit 180 displays a capture completion message ("screen capture completed").

The above operations can be performed in the same manner in other application screens.

Return to screen Restore ) - Full screen return

In the present invention, restoration of the screen means to construct and display a screen at the time of screen capture using the captured image and information. The screen return is performed by displaying the captured image stored in the gallery on the display unit 180 again.

The control unit 180 displays the captured image stored in the gallery on the display unit 151 again when a screen return input (command) is detected. The screen return input may be a predetermined touch pattern input on the touch screen 151 or an input of a predetermined hard key.

For example, the touch pattern may be a long touch input for a predetermined area of the touch screen 151 or a touch input for a predetermined soft key. Also, the hard key input may be an input of a predetermined key combination, for example, a volume up key + a power key.

The control unit 180 may return to the screen most recently captured when the screen return input (command) is detected, or may return to the screen selected by the user when the captured screen is plural. This return screen setting can be set in the menu. That is, when the user sets the Quick mode in the menu, the display returns to the screen captured most recently. If the user selects the normal mode (Normal), a list of captured images is displayed, Return to the screen.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating a screen return method according to the present invention.

The user can input a predetermined screen return input command (S610). The predetermined screen return capturing input may be a predetermined touch pattern input on the touch screen 151 or an input of a predetermined hard key. For example, the touch pattern may be a double touch input for a predetermined area of the touch screen 151 or a touch input for a predetermined soft key. Also, the hard key may be an input of a volume up key + a power key, for example.

If the screen return input is detected, the controller 180 checks the currently running application and reads the screen capture image and the object information (620, S630). If it is determined that the application is currently running, the execution screen is configured and displayed by using the read captured image and object information (S640). For example, if the currently running application is a home menu, the screen returns to the screen of the image selected by the user from the previous home screen or the plurality of captured images captured most recently according to the return mode (quick mode or normal mode) In the case of a browser, the screen returns to the browser screen of the last captured home screen or the image selected by the user according to the return mode (quick mode or normal mode).

FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating a method of performing a screen return on a home screen, and FIG. 16 is a view for explaining an embodiment shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 15, when a screen return input is detected in the home screen (S710, S720), the controller 180 reads the stored captured image and object information and confirms the return setting mode (S730, S740). The return setting mode can be set by the user in the capture menu.

As a result, if the return setting mode is set to the quick mode, the controller 180 returns to the home screen before capturing by displaying the latest captured image and object information on the home execution screen (S750).

On the other hand, when the return setting mode is the normal mode, the controller 180 displays a thumbnail list of the home screen to be restored, that is, a list of a plurality of captured images and a date as pop- (S780). The user can touch a specific captured image with a long touch to view detailed information of the corresponding image.

When the user touches a predetermined image in the pop-up window 81 to select a restored image (S770), the controller 180 displays a home execution screen using the object information corresponding to the selected captured image, And returns to the home screen (S780).

As another embodiment, the present invention performs the same operation as the normal mode even when the user selects the restore menu from the home menu.

The return setting mode can be set by the user in the capture menu.

As a result, if the return setting mode is set to the quick mode, the control unit 180 checks the URL link of the most recently captured image and then moves to the corresponding URL link (S850), S860) The browser execution screen is displayed using the user input information to return to the browser screen before capturing (S870).

If the confirmed URL link can not be connected, the control unit 180 provides the additional information together with the error message "Connection is impossible"

On the other hand, when the return setting mode is the normal mode, as shown in FIG. 18, the controller 180 displays a thumbnail list of the web page to be restored, that is, a list of a plurality of captured images, (S880). The user can touch the specific captured image with a long touch to view detailed information of the corresponding image, and can select a restored image by touching a specific image (S870).

When the user selects the restored image in the pop-up window 81, the control unit 180 moves to the URL link of the image (S860) and displays the browser execution screen using the captured image and the user input information, (S870). ≪ / RTI >

As another embodiment, the present invention performs the same operation as the normal mode even when the user selects the restore menu from the home menu.

Figs. 19A and 19B are examples of providing additional information when the screen returns to the page of interest.

When a screen return input is detected by the web browser, the control unit 180 accesses the screen before capturing, that is, the URL link of the page of interest according to the return setting mode, and returns to the screen of the page of interest.

However, when the URL link of the interested page is not connected, the control unit 180 outputs an error message (HTTP 404 error message) indicating "connection is impossible " (Name, quantity, color, ..) of the most frequently used keywords are displayed and displayed on the pop-up window, and a message asking whether to input the keyword in the previous page is displayed. In other words, when a link connection error occurs, the controller 180 displays the search term (e.g., dress) and the user input information (purchase quantity and color of the dress) input by the user at the time of capture on the pop-up window 81, A message asking whether to search again with the search term is displayed. If the user selects OK, the search term (one piece) is automatically entered into the search window and searched.

Return to screen Restore ) - Return to partial screen

The screen return according to the present invention can be divided into a full screen return and a partial screen return. All the screen captures described above correspond to full screen return.

In the present invention, restoration of the partial screen means restoring only a part of the screen selected by the user. The screen return may be activated (initiated) by setting the capture menu or by a separate screen capture command. For example, the full screen return according to the present invention may be activated when the volume up key + power key (2 seconds) is input and the partial screen return may be activated when the volume up key + power key (3 seconds) have. In addition, the smart mode screen capture may be a predetermined touch pattern input on the touch screen 151.

When the recipient selects the non-installed icon 21, the control unit 180 moves to the corresponding application, for example, "Google play" to induce installation. When the installation of the corresponding application is completed, Is restored and displayed.

On the other hand, if the user desires to save the icon after trashed in the trash bin on the restored screen, the control unit 180 restores and displays the shared screen except for the abandoned icon, that is, the partial shared screen.

FIGS. 22A and 22B show an example in which only a specific portion is selected and restored in the received shared screen.

The user may select at least one object (for example, an application icon) included in the shared screen before storing the received shared screen to configure a shared screen composed only of the selected objects.

For example, as shown in FIG. 22A, when a new shared screen 91 including a plurality of objects 90 is displayed, the user can select a predetermined number of objects (five objects). The object selection can be performed through the setting pen 92 as shown in FIG. 22B.

Once the object is selected, the control unit 180 constructs a new shared screen including only five objects and displays it in the pop-up form 91. When the user confirms the storage, the shared screen is stored and displayed.

cloud ( Cloud ) Interlocking

The present invention can provide update information related to a backup screen stored in association with a cloud. The update information includes update information, newly updated screen, and object related information included in the screen.

23 shows an example of providing update information related to a backup screen stored in association with a cloud.

As shown in FIG. 23, the screen (backup screen) captured by the user can be stored in a separate folder of the gallery. If the user selects the stored backup screen, the controller 180 restores the selected screen and displays the selected backup screen.

However, in the case of the home screen, there is little change. However, in the case of the web page screen, updates such as changing the arrangement and shape of the objects and adding new objects are performed periodically. Accordingly, when the stored backup screen is executed after a predetermined time elapses, or when a specific object, text, link, or the like is selected on the backup screen, the version of the corresponding backup screen may not be provided or maintained at this time have.

In this case, the control unit 180 may provide update information related to the selected backup screen (or object, text, link).

That is, if the web page is maintained when the backup screen (or object, text, link) is selected, the current screen is maintained. If the web page is updated, the web page is notified of the update through the pop- When the user requests the update, the link is moved to the newly updated latest screen, and the newly updated screen is displayed.

24 is a flowchart illustrating a screen reconstruction method of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 24, the control unit 180 displays a predetermined screen on the display unit 151 (S910). The screen may include a menu screen, a music and video playback screen, a game execution screen, at least one application execution screen, and a web browser screen.

If a predetermined screen capture command is input from the user in step S920, the controller 180 captures the currently displayed screen and stores the captured screen together with the object information included in the selected screen in step S930. The capture screen image is a thumbnail image.

The information related to the screen is context information of at least one object included in the screen and includes not only the type, location, version, and link information of the object but also user setting information, .

The object includes at least one or more icons, texts, images and combinations thereof included in the screen. The user information includes at least one of setting information (zoom magnification, resolution, letter size) - the number of items purchased, color, etc.).

The screen image and information related to the screen may be stored in a backup folder of the gallery. In this case, information related to the screen may be stored as attribute information in the captured image file, or may be stored in a separate file that matches the image file.

When a predetermined screen return input (command) is input (S940), the controller 180 reads the stored screen capture image and object information (950, S960) after confirming the currently running application. If it is determined that the application is currently running, the execution screen is composed and displayed by using the read captured image and object information (S970). For example, if the currently running application is a home menu, the screen returns to the screen of the image selected by the user from the previous home screen or the plurality of captured images captured most recently according to the return mode (quick mode or normal mode) In the case of a browser, the screen returns to the browser screen of the last captured home screen or the image selected by the user according to the return mode (quick mode or normal mode).

Although the present invention has been described with respect to a screen backup and a screen restoration operation by screen capturing using a home screen and a browser screen as an example, the present invention is not limited to this, and is applicable to music and movie playback screens, game execution screens, and various application execution screens.

As described above, according to the present invention, when capturing a screen, information of an object constituting a screen together with a current screen image is stored as a backup screen, and a previously stored backup screen is restored and displayed by a simple operation, There is an advantage that a desired application can be executed or an object included in the screen can be searched regardless of the screen configuration and the update of the screen.

The present invention can increase the recognition rate of an object during a screen restoration by generating and storing a screen as a thumbnail image at the time of screen capture, and searching for a desired object can be performed more easily by performing a search using a URL link of a thumbnail image.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the above-described method can be implemented as a computer-readable code on a medium on which a program is recorded. The computer readable medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer-readable medium include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, optical data storage, and the like, and also implemented in the form of a carrier wave (for example, transmission over the Internet) . Further, the computer may include a control unit of the terminal.

The above-described screen reconstruction method of the mobile terminal can be applied to a configuration and a method of the embodiments described above in a limited manner, but the embodiments may be modified such that all or some of the embodiments are selectively And may be configured in combination.
