Description

[0001] MOBILE TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME [0002]

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal supporting a clipboard function and a control method thereof.

A terminal can be divided into a mobile terminal (mobile / portable terminal) and a stationary terminal according to whether the terminal can be moved. The mobile terminal can be divided into a handheld terminal and a vehicle mounted terminal according to whether the user can directly carry the mobile terminal.

The functions of mobile terminals are diversified. For example, there are data and voice communication, photographing and video shooting through a camera, voice recording, music file playback through a speaker system, and outputting an image or video on a display unit. Some terminals are equipped with an electronic game play function or a multimedia player function. In particular, modern mobile terminals can receive multicast signals that provide visual content such as broadcast and video or television programs.

Such a terminal has various functions, for example, in the form of a multimedia device having multiple functions such as photographing and photographing of a moving picture, reproduction of a music or video file, reception of a game and broadcasting, etc. .

In addition, these terminals support a clipboard function that can copy and save data and then call and paste. On the other hand, all of the clip data stored in the clipboard are collectively stored in a low capacity. In this case, if the corresponding clip data is transmitted as it is, data is displayed in a state where the image quality is greatly deteriorated in a device having a large screen. In addition, since the existing clipboard simply supports the paste function for the stored clip data, there is a problem that the general use is limited.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile terminal supporting a clipboard function that provides new and improved functions beyond merely pasting data stored in a clipboard, and a control method thereof.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a mobile terminal capable of checking data stored in a clipboard at any time and previewing the stored data before pasting, and a control method thereof.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a mobile terminal and a control method thereof that can quickly change the size of clip data by interacting with a preview image of data stored in the clipboard.

Accordingly, a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a display unit in which a called clipboard is displayed in response to receiving a clipboard call event; And a control unit for identifying the attribute of the application to be pasted with the selected clip data when the specific clip data is selected from the clipboard and varying the size of the selected clip data according to an attribute of the target application. The control unit may output information indicating the size of the selected clip data to the display unit.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of controlling a mobile terminal, including: receiving a clipboard call event; Selecting specific clip data from the clipboard; Identifying attributes of a target application to which the selected clip data is to be pasted; Changing the size of the selected clip data according to an attribute of the target application; And displaying information informing the changed size on the screen.

As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the clip data stored in the clipboard can be previewed before pasting, and the size of the clip data can be automatically changed according to the property of the application to be pasted. Accordingly, by automatically changing the size of low capacity clip data to a high capacity or original size, it is more suitable for the purpose of use and provides an extended user experience for the clipboard.

In addition, since the size of the clip data can be quickly changed by using the touch gesture on the preview image, the clip data can be expanded to a desired size while checking the preview image of the clip data. / RTI >

Representative sensors among various sensors that may be included in the sensing unit 140 will be described in more detail.

First, the proximity sensor 141 refers to a sensor that detects the presence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface, or the presence of an object in the vicinity of the detection surface, without mechanical contact by using electromagnetic force or infrared rays. The proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in the inner area of the mobile terminal or in proximity to the touch screen, which is covered by the touch screen.

Examples of the proximity sensor 141 include a transmission type photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection fluorescent light sensor, a mirror reflection fluorescent light sensor, a high frequency oscillation proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor. In the case where the touch screen is electrostatic, the proximity sensor 141 can be configured to detect the proximity of the object with a change of the electric field along the proximity of the object having conductivity. In this case, the touch screen (or touch sensor) itself may be classified as a proximity sensor.

On the other hand, for convenience of explanation, the act of recognizing that the object is located on the touch screen in proximity with no object touching the touch screen is referred to as "proximity touch & The act of actually touching an object on the screen is called a "contact touch. &Quot; The position at which the object is closely touched on the touch screen means a position where the object corresponds to the touch screen vertically when the object is touched. The proximity sensor 141 can detect a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (e.g., a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, have. Meanwhile, the control unit 180 processes data (or information) corresponding to the proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern sensed through the proximity sensor 141 as described above, and further provides visual information corresponding to the processed data It can be output on the touch screen. Furthermore, the control unit 180 can control the mobile terminal 100 such that different operations or data (or information) are processed according to whether the touch to the same point on the touch screen is a proximity touch or a touch touch .

The touch sensor senses a touch (or touch input) applied to the touch screen (or the display unit 151) by using at least one of various touch methods such as a resistance film type, a capacitive type, an infrared type, an ultrasonic type, do.

For example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in a pressure applied to a specific portion of the touch screen or a capacitance generated in a specific portion to an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect a position, an area, a pressure at the time of touch, a capacitance at the time of touch, and the like where a touch object touching the touch screen is touched on the touch sensor. 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.

Thus, when 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. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component from the control unit 180, and may be the control unit 180 itself.

On the other hand, the control unit 180 may perform different controls or perform the same control according to the type of the touch object touching the touch screen (or a touch key provided on the touch screen). Whether to perform different controls or to perform the same control according to the type of the touch object may be determined according to the current state of the mobile terminal 100 or an application program being executed.

Touch can be sensed.

The ultrasonic sensor can recognize the position information of the object to be sensed by using ultrasonic waves. Meanwhile, the controller 180 can calculate the position of the wave generating source through the information sensed by the optical sensor and the plurality of ultrasonic sensors. The position of the wave source can be calculated using the fact that the light is much faster than the ultrasonic wave, that is, the time when the light reaches the optical sensor is much faster than the time the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. More specifically, the position of the wave generating source can be calculated using the time difference with the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the reference signal.

The camera 121 includes at least one of a camera sensor (for example, a CCD, a CMOS, etc.), a photo sensor (or an image sensor), and a laser sensor.

The photosensor can be laminated to the display element, which is adapted to scan the movement of the object to be detected 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 change of light, and position information of the object to be sensed can be obtained through the calculation.

[ One example of such an accessory is a cover or pouch that covers or accommodates at least one side of the mobile terminal 100. [ The cover or pouch may be configured to interlock with the display unit 151 to expand the function of the mobile terminal 100. Another example of an accessory is a touch pen for supplementing or extending a touch input to the touch screen.

Hereinafter, embodiments related to a control method that can be implemented in a mobile terminal configured as above will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

The mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention displays the clipboard on the display unit 151 in response to the reception of the clipboard call event. That is, regardless of the current screen type, the clipboard call event can be generated to display the clipboard. In addition, when specific clip data is selected from the displayed clipboard, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 can identify the attribute of the application to paste the selected clip data. Then, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 variably provides the size of the selected clip data according to the attribute of the identified target application. Specifically, the size, resolution, picture quality, and capacity of the clip data stored in the clipboard at a low capacity are automatically changed corresponding to the attributes of the target application. At this time, information indicating the variable size of the selected clip data is displayed on the display unit 180 so that the user can recognize the size of the clip data.

FIG. 2 is a first flowchart illustrating an exemplary operation implemented in a mobile terminal related to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the step of receiving a clipboard call event to the mobile terminal 100 is started (S10). Here, the clipboard provides a function of copying and storing a plurality of clip data, and then pasting the clip data as needed.

The clipboard call event may be generated when a predetermined touch gesture is applied to the display unit 151 of the terminal. When the clipboard call event is received as described above, the clipboard area is displayed in one area of the display unit 151.

When the clipboard is displayed, a step of selecting specific clip data from the clipboard is performed (S20). To this end, the clipboard displays a plurality of areas corresponding to the number of stored clip data. Further, if a plurality of areas corresponding to the clip data on the clipboard are large enough to be displayed, a scroll bar for scrolling the plurality of areas in the up / down / left / right directions can be displayed in the clipboard. Further, the selection of the specific clip data can be made by touching the area where the specific clip data is displayed in the clipboard.

In this example, one clip data is selected in the clipboard, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other words, a plurality of clip data may be selected at a time in the clipboard. In this case, one clip may be designated as one block, and the size variable of the clip data described below may be applied to a plurality of clip data included in the block at one time.

When the specific clip data is selected in the clipboard, the operation of identifying the attribute of the application to paste the selected clip data is performed (S30). To this end, a step of displaying an execution screen of the application to be pasted clip data on the display unit 151 before the clipboard call event occurs, that is, before the step S10, may be preceded.

Also, here, the target application may include any kind of application that provides an area to paste the selected clip data. That is, a program supporting a function of pasting clip data among all types of programs that can be operated by a terminal. For example, this may be a program related to a web browser, schedule management, email, document work, messaging, finance, social network services (SNS), and the like.

Further, the attribute of the target application means that it is associated with the purpose of using the selected clip data. Specifically, in the present invention, it can be said that the clip data has different attributes depending on whether the purpose of use of the clip data is one-to-one sharing, sharing to a large number of users, user storage, or image editing.

Next, an operation of varying the size of the selected clip data is performed based on the identified attribute of the target application (S40).

More specifically, depending on whether the purpose of use of the clip data is one-to-one sharing, sharing to a large number of users, user storage, or image editing, the size of the clip data may be appropriately varied. For example, depending on the properties of the target application, if it is judged that the selected clip data is shared by a plurality of persons for the purpose of use, some of the people can view clip data through a PC or a large screen, The size of the data is variable.

When the clip data is an image, the larger the screen, the more the difference in image quality becomes clearer depending on the size of the image. Therefore, in such a case, by automatically changing the size of low capacity clip data to high capacity or original size, it is more suitable for the purpose of use and provides an extended user experience for the clipboard.

On the other hand, since the clip data stored in the clipboard are all stored in a low capacity, when the size of the clip data is expanded, high-capacity data or original data is fetched from the memory of the terminal, the cloud server, or the second clipboard, do.

Further, information indicating the changed (or held) size of the selected clip data is output to the display unit 151 of the terminal (S50). Information indicating the size of clip data can be output in various forms such as text, symbols, images, numbers, and the like. In addition, when the size of the variable clip data exceeds the predetermined data consumption range, a notification icon or a notification signal may be output to inform the user.

The user can visually confirm the size of the selected clip data, and then determine whether to transmit / upload the pasted clip data at the size.

3 is a diagram for specifically explaining the steps of the flowchart of FIG.

First, when a touch started from the lower end of the display unit 151 of the mobile terminal 100 is dragged upward by a predetermined distance (301), the controller 180 can recognize that the clipboard call event has occurred . At this time, when there are a plurality of functions matched to the corresponding touch operation 301, the function icons corresponding to the corresponding touch operation are displayed on the screen, and then one of the corresponding function icons is touched to generate the above- can do.

In FIG. 3, a clipboard call event is generated in response to a predetermined touch gesture. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, it can be implemented in various forms such as a predetermined voice command, an interaction with a specific object output to the display unit 151, and a user input to a hard key / software provided in the terminal.

When the clipboard call event is received, the clipboard area 310 may be output to one area of the display unit 151, for example, the center of the display unit 151 as shown in FIG. At this time, although not shown, when the clipboard is output according to the touch operation 301 described above, an image gradually increasing in the clipboard area can be output according to the degree of dragging, and the clip data stored in the image It can gradually appear.

The clipboard generally supports four formats. Therefore, the clip data stored in the clipboard is also one of the following four formats.

First, there may be text that is the most common data exchange destination. Second, there may be a Uniform Resource Identifier (UIR) format that represents a unique address representing a web-based resource. It is always attached to the Internet protocol, and URI, SRN, etc. are subordinate concepts of URI. The clip data is in URI format, and the data of the complex type is provided by the contents provider (CP), and only the URI indicating the location of the data is stored in the clipboard. The third is the intent format, which passes data related to the command that executes the application through the clipboard. It is often used to exchange shortcuts to activities, services, and so on. Finally, clip data can be stored in an HTML text format, for exchanging formatted strings rather than simple strings.

The clipboard can be made up of a plurality of regions according to the number of stored clip data. In each of the plurality of areas, all kinds of clip data of various kinds may be displayed or only a part thereof may be displayed according to the amount of clip data. In addition, the size of each of the plurality of regions constituting the clipboard may be different, and clip data of various kinds of, for example, text, image, and multimedia formats may be displayed in one of the above four formats .

In addition, clip data stored in the clipboard is generally stored in a low capacity, i.e., a small size and a low quality. For example, when a captured image is stored as clip data, the clip data is stored and displayed on the clipboard with low capacity and low image quality.

If a touch input is applied to a specific image 311 among the clip data displayed on the clipboard 310, the control unit 180 of the terminal displays the attribute of the target application to paste the selected specific image 311, Identify the purpose of data usage.

3, the first application may be a message application 321 for one-to-one sharing purposes, and the second application may be a particular social network service (SNS) application 323, for example, . In this case, the control unit 180 may determine that the attributes of the target application are different from each other depending on the use purpose of the selected specific image 311. [ Specifically, in the first application, it can be determined that the clip data is satisfactory if the clip data is shared with a size that can be confirmed on the entire screen of the terminal. In the second application, clip data can be confirmed by using various devices such as a PC, a tablet, and the like, so that clip data can be determined to be uploaded in a high capacity or original size.

Accordingly, the control unit 180 can automatically change the size of the clip data according to the attribute of the application to paste the selected clip data.

3, if the execution screen of the first application 321 is displayed at the time of selecting the specific image 311 of the clipboard, it is possible to paste the selected image 311 in the predetermined area 330 without changing the size )do.

3, if the execution image of the second application 323 is displayed when the specific image 311 is selected, the image is pasted to the predetermined area 330 after the image is changed to the original size. When the selected image 311 is changed to the original size, the image quality of the data also naturally improves to the original image quality. When the control unit 180 determines to increase / increase the size of the clip data, the clip data from the clip server, the memory 160 of the terminal, the second clipboard, and / or the web browser, etc., Of the original data. To this end, meta information and path information for calling up the original data of the clip data may be set in the header of each of the clip data stored in the clipboard.

On the other hand, the size of the clip data stored in the clipboard is maintained at a fixed size even after the size of the clip data is changed according to the attribute of the target application. In other words, since the variable from the second application 323 to the original size in FIG. 3 is one-time, even if the same application is pasted in another application, the original size previously applied is not applied.

In addition, information indicating the size of the clip data may be output in the area 330 where the clip data selected in FIG. 3 is pasted. Information indicating the size of clip data can be displayed in the form of text, symbols, images, and / or numerals. For example, in the first application 321, a low capacity size, for example, a 64 KB display 322 appears, and in the second application 323, a high capacity or original size, for example 3.14 MB display 324, . The larger the size of the image, the larger the amount of data consumed in transmitting / uploading it.

Therefore, the user can decide whether to transmit / upload the image in the displayed size in consideration of the remaining data amount and the current communication network (whether or not Wi-Fi is connected). For example, in FIG. 3, when the send / upload command is executed, the selected image is pasted in the pasted area 330, and the image is transmitted / uploaded in the displayed size.

According to the embodiment described above, the size is automatically changed and then pasted according to the purpose of use of the clip data, so that utilization of the clip data is maximized and a smart clipboard can be implemented.

Next, Fig. 4 is a second flowchart for explaining another exemplary operation implemented in the mobile terminal related to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, a step of receiving a clipboard call event is firstly started (S410). The description related to the clipboard call event may be applied equally to that described in FIG.

Next, a step of receiving a second event related to specific clip data in the clipboard is performed (S420). Here, the second event may be an event for generating a control command for executing the preview function among the options supported by the clipboard. For example, when a long-touch input is applied to specific clip data on the clipboard, an option menu related to the clip data may be provided instead of changing the size of the clip data or pasting the clip data. Then, when the preview item is selected in the option menu, the controller 180 can recognize that the second event is received.

In another example, when a long-touch input is applied to specific clip data, the provision of the option menu can be omitted and the preview function can be executed immediately. In this case, when the long-touch input is applied to the specific clip data, it can be said that the second event has occurred.

When the second event is received, a preview image of the entire clip data is displayed on the screen (S430). That is, it provides an opportunity to confirm the data one more time before the selected clip data is pasted.

At this time, the preview screen of the clip data may cover at least a part of the execution screen of the target application. Also, while the preview screen is being displayed, the execution screen of the target application can be switched to the inactive state.

If the data amount of the preview screen can not be output to the display unit 151 at a time, a scroll bar for scrolling the preview screen up / down / left / right is provided at the right / bottom of the preview screen . In this case, the entire preview screen can be quickly checked by operating the scroll bar.

Next, when a touch input is applied to the displayed preview image, paste is performed in the preview image state on the execution screen of the running application (S440). To this end, icons for pasting, editing, transferring, or moving backward can be displayed in one area of the preview image.

For example, if the edit icon is selected in the preview image, a virtual keyboard area may be displayed at the bottom of the display unit 151 so that text can be further input while maintaining the preview image. In such a case, the user may add a text input and then select a pasting icon from the preview image to be pasted into the changed preview image state.

Alternatively, for example, you can call the clipboard (or the clipboard option menu) to retrieve other clip data by selecting the Move Backward icon in the preview image. In this case, when the clip data is erroneously selected, it is not necessary to delete the entire pasted clip data and then call the clipboard again. This is particularly useful when the amount of erroneously selected clip data is large.

FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the steps described in FIG. 4 in detail.

In FIG. 5, when a clipboard call event is received in the message application 501, a clipboard area 510 is displayed below the display unit 151. When a long-touch input is applied to specific clip data, for example, the multimedia data area 511 in the displayed clipboard area 510, the window 520 displaying the option menu of the clipboard is displayed on the display part 151 as a pop- do.

When the preview function is selected in the pop-up window 520, a preview screen 530 corresponding to the multimedia data area 511 selected in the clipboard area 510 may appear as a pop-up window. The preview screen 530 shows a preview of the information to be output when the paste is not yet executed and the selected clip data is pasted.

The preview screen 530 displays all data not displayed in the selected multimedia data area 511. Depending on the amount of data to be displayed, a scroll bar for scrolling the preview screen up / down / right / left may be provided on the right / bottom of the preview screen 530.

The size of the preview screen 530 can be enlarged or reduced. For example, when the touch input applied to the frame of the preview screen 530 is dragged up / down / left / right, the size of the preview screen 530 may be enlarged or reduced along the dragged direction. When the preview screen 530 is reduced, a part of the execution screen 501 of the target application hidden under the preview screen 530 may be displayed. In this case, the user can further consider whether to paste the preview screen 530 while confirming the information displayed on the execution screen 501. [

In addition, an icon for moving backward, an edit icon, a paste icon, and the like may be displayed in one area of the preview screen 530, for example, at the bottom.

Here, if a touch input is applied to the pasting icon on the preview screen 530, the control unit 180 performs pasting on the execution screen of the target application with the preview screen 530 displayed (for example, 3, 330).

When the touch input is applied to the backward moving icon on the preview screen 530, the preview screen 530 disappears and the clipboard area (or clipboard option menu 520) is displayed on the display unit 151 appear. Thereby, it is possible to seamlessly select other clip data of the clipboard without having to carry out the deletion operation of the clip data in advance.

When a touch input is applied to the edit icon on the preview screen 530, the preview screen 530 is maintained and a virtual keyboard (not shown) may appear in the area 510 where the clipboard was output. In this case, it is possible to further input text into the preview screen 530 by interacting with the virtual keyboard. After the text input using the virtual keyboard is completed, if the user touches the paste icon of the preview screen, the paste is executed in the changed preview screen state.

After the paste is executed as described above, the clipboard is displayed again in the region where the virtual keyboard is output, so that there is no need for additional operations to close the virtual keyboard and generate a clipboard call event.

As described above, by providing the preview data of the whole data that was not shown on the clipboard before actually pasting the clip data, it provides a place to paste the selected clip data or select another clip data. Thereby providing a better user experience.

Next, Fig. 6 is a third flowchart for explaining another exemplary operation implemented in the mobile terminal related to the present invention. Here, a method of adjusting the size of the clip data in the preview image state is presented.

Referring to FIG. 4, a step of receiving a clipboard call event is firstly started (S610).

Next, a step of receiving a second event related to specific clip data in the clipboard is performed (S620). The description related to the clipboard call event may be applied equally to that described in FIG.

Next, a step of receiving a second event related to specific clip data in the clipboard is performed (S620). Here, the second event may be an event for generating a control command for executing the preview function among the options supported by the clipboard. For example, when a long-touch input is applied to specific clip data on the clipboard, an option menu related to the clip data may be provided instead of changing the size of the clip data or pasting the clip data. Then, when the preview item is selected in the option menu, the controller 180 can recognize that the second event is received. Alternatively, in another example, when a long-touch input is applied to specific clip data, the preview function can be executed without providing the option menu. In this case, when the long-touch input is applied to the specific clip data, it can be said that the second event has occurred.

When the second event is received as described above, a step of displaying the entire preview image of the specific clip data on the display unit 151 is executed (S630). That is, it provides an opportunity to confirm the data one more time before the selected clip data is pasted.

Next, a step of receiving a third event related to the displayed preview image is performed (S640). Here, the third event means an event for generating a control command for varying the size of the clip data corresponding to the preview image. For example, if a pre-set touch gesture is applied to the displayed preview image, for example a touch gesture of pinch-in / out, a third event may be said to have occurred.

Here, the third event is described as an example of a pinch-in / out touch gesture. However, the third event may be changed to another type of touch gesture or a method of inputting a specific key (hard key or soft key) to be.

When the third event is received as described above, the step of varying the size of the specific clip data corresponding to the preview image is executed (S650). Specifically, if a pinch-out touch gesture is applied to the preview image, the control unit 180 can expand the size of the clip data. On the other hand, if a pinch-in-touch gesture is applied to the preview image, the control unit 180 can reduce the size of the clip data.

At this time, the controller 180 can adjust the size of the clip data according to the touch degree of the pinch-out / in touch gesture. For example, the size of the clip data can be adjusted stepwise according to the degree of dragging of the pinch-out / in touch gesture, the touch pressure, and the number of touch gestures.

In addition, when the size of the clip data is changed in this way, the control unit 180 can output a display indicating the changed size (and the changed image quality) to the preview image. Accordingly, the clip data can be expanded to a desired size while confirming the preview image of the clip data before pasting the clip data, thereby providing a more improved UX related to the clipboard use.

7 is a conceptual diagram for explaining an operation related to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 7, when the preview function is selected by the option menu 710 of the clipboard, for example, a preview screen 720 of the selected clip data is displayed on the display unit 151. At this time, a display (e.g., 61KB) 721 indicating the size of the clip data may be output to one area of the preview screen 720, for example, the lower end of the preview screen 720. Further, a display (e.g., low quality) indicating the image quality of the clip data may be further output to another area of the preview screen 720, for example, the top of the preview screen 720. [

Here, when the pinch-out touch gesture 722 is applied to the preview screen 720, the size of the clip data corresponding to the preview screen 720 is increased (and the image quality is improved). Accordingly, the preview screen 720 can be switched to a preview image that has been enlarged in size. An enlarged size display (e.g., 225 KB) is displayed at the lower end of the preview screen 720, and an enhanced image quality display (e.g., high image quality) is displayed at the upper end. At this time, the area size of the preview screen 720 is maintained.

When the pinch-out touch gesture 722 is continuously applied to the preview screen 720, the size of the clip data corresponding to the preview screen 720 is expanded to the original size. Accordingly, a display (for example, 304MB) indicating the original size appears at the lower end of the preview screen 720, and an original image quality display (e.g., original) is displayed at the upper end. That is, while the area size of the preview screen 720 is maintained, the size and image quality of corresponding clip data are further improved.

On the other hand, if a pinch-in-touch gesture is applied to the preview screen 720, the size of the clip data corresponding to the preview screen 720 may be changed stepwise from the original to the high quality and the low quality have. It is difficult to visually distinguish the size of the preview screen 720 even if the size and the image quality of the preview screen 720 are changed. Therefore, the size and image quality information output on the preview screen 720 can be viewed, Can recognize immediately

After the desired size is determined on the preview screen 720, if the paste / send 750 icon is selected, the clip data is pasted / transferred in the displayed size and image quality.

8 is a conceptual diagram for explaining an operation related to changing the size of content provided by a content provider at the receiver side in the mobile terminal according to the present invention.

For example, a contents provider (CP) can transmit a photographic image in a low-capacity and low-quality image in a one-to-one sharing application. In this case, even if the original photographic image has a high resolution of, for example, 5312 * 2988, the transferred photographic image may be changed to a low resolution of, for example, 960 * 540. However, if you want to preserve a photographic image transferred from the recipient, or apply a filter to the photographic image, or edit such as cropping, it may be desirable to download the original photographic image with high resolution.

To that end, when the recipient applies the long-touch input to the shared photographic image 811, the task selection window 820 for that photographic image 811 may pop up.

When the preview function 821 is selected in the pop-up work selection window 820, the size and resolution of the image to be downloaded can be confirmed. Thereby, the first preview screen 830a of the photographic image 811 is displayed. This is a function that is supported before downloading the corresponding photo image, and it provides the image and image quality information displayed at the time of downloading. Initially, a preview screen is displayed with the size and resolution that the content provider used when pasting, transferring, or uploading the image. For example, in FIG. 8, it can be confirmed that a preview of a photographic image in a low quality state is output.

When a pinch-out touch gesture as described with reference to FIG. 7 is applied to the first preview screen 830a, the controller 180 changes the size and image quality of the photographic image, and then, 2 preview screen 830b. For this, the header of the transferred photographic image 811 may be set with meta information for calling the original data of the transmitted photographic image. When the pinch-out touch gesture is applied to the preview screen, the control unit 180 can retrieve the original of the photographic image from the cloud server linked based on the set meta information.

Next, when the download icon 840 provided at the lower end of the second preview screen 830b is selected, the download request of the original of the photographic image 811 is requested to the cloud server interlocked with the running application. Accordingly, the original photographic image detected from the linked cloud server is downloaded to the recipient terminal.

On the other hand, if a pinch-in-touch gesture is applied to the second preview screen 830b, the size and resolution can be reduced. When downloading in this state, the image quality of the photographic image is degraded but the data consumption is reduced.

In addition, although not shown, the size of the shared content can also be changed on the content provider side. For example, after the clip data selected in the clipboard is pasted to the execution screen of the target application, the detail view image can be entered if the touch input is applied to the image. If a predetermined touch gesture, for example, a pinch-out touch gesture is applied to the displayed detail view image, the size of the image corresponding to the detail view image may be changed to the original size. When the download command is received in this state, the control unit 180 requests download of the original data for the image to the memory of the terminal (e.g., a photo image folder of the camera application).

Figures 9A and 9B illustrate examples of generating a clipboard call event on a home screen screen. Conventionally, when a screen on which clip data can be pasted is displayed on the display unit 180, the clipboard can be output.

However, since the preview function of clip data stored in the clipboard is supported in the present invention, it is not necessary that the type of the screen to be output to the display unit 180 is limited. That is, you can call the clipboard at any time, regardless of the type of application you are currently running.

For this, the controller 180 can recognize that a clipboard request event has occurred when a preset touch gesture is applied to a predetermined area of the display unit 151. [ For example, if a drag-gesture upwardly directed from the bottom of the display unit 151 is applied while the home screen screen 901 is being displayed on the display unit 151 as shown in FIG. 9A, The clipboard area 910 may be output. At this time, if a long-touch input is applied to the specific clip data in the clipboard area 910, a preview screen of the entire selected clip data can be confirmed. However, the paste icon may be in an inactive state according to the property of the home screen screen 901. [

9B, when the pen tool 200 inserted in a specific position of the mobile terminal 100 is pulled out when the mobile terminal 100 can interact with the pen tool 200, The clipboard icon 903 may be displayed as one of various command icons associated with the command button 200. [ When the clipboard icon 903 is selected using the pen tool 200, the clipboard area 910 can be displayed below the home screen screen 901 as shown in FIG. 9A.

Figure 10 shows another operation of the clipboard with regard to the original import function.

10, when certain clip data (e.g., Image # 1) 1011 is selected in the called clipboard 1010 while the message application 1001 is displayed, the option menu 1020 associated with the selected clip data is displayed, Is provided on the screen.

When the original data import function 1022 is selected as an option related to the selected clip data, the controller 180 requests original data corresponding to the selected clip data to the memory of the terminal, the second clipboard, or the linked cloud server , And the original data can be downloaded from one of them. To this end, the header of the clip data stored in the clipboard may be set with meta data that can call the original data, a location where the original data is stored, path information, and the like.

In addition, a standby image may be output to the display unit 180 while downloading the original data, and when the download of the original data is completed, the original preview image 1030 may be displayed as shown in FIG. At this time, a transmission icon 1035 may be displayed at the lower end of the original preview image 1030. When the touch input is applied to the transmission icon 1035, the image is transmitted to the original size corresponding to the original preview image 1030. Then, the size information (e.g., 2.7 MB) of the transferred image is displayed in the message area 1040 of the message application 1001.

Figure 11 shows the operation associated with the edit function as another option of the clipboard.

11, when the specific clip data (e.g., Multi-media # 1) 1111 is selected in the called clipboard 1110 while the message application 1101 is displayed, the option menu 1120 related to the selected clip data is displayed, Is provided on the screen.

When the edit function 1123 is selected as an option related to the selected clip data, the currently displayed screen 1101, that is, the execution screen of the target application is immediately switched to the execution screen of the application in which the clip data was generated.

Specifically, after the multimedia data is generated as clip data in the Q-memo application, the clip application is called in the message application and the editing function of the clip data is optionally selected. As a result, The application 1101 is switched to the Q-memo application 1102. [ At this time, the converted quick memo (Q-memo) application 1102 includes all the selected clip data (Multi-media # 1).

On the other hand, if the application for which the clip data was generated is a web application and is captured in a specific web post, if the web post is deleted at the time the edit function is selected, the web page is moved to another predetermined application, The initial screen of FIG.

In addition, although not shown, when the clip data is newly captured or copied after completing the editing of the clip data in the Q-memo application shown in Fig. 11, a new clip data is generated to generate the updated clip data Can be confirmed immediately. That is, in the present invention, since the clipboard can be called at any time even if the currently displayed screen is not an input screen capable of pasting clip data, it is possible to promptly confirm the newly generated clip data.

12 shows an operation of converting and pasting the format of clip data as another option of the clipboard.

12, when specific clip data (e.g., Multi-media # 2) is selected on the called clipboard 1210 while the message application 1201 is displayed, an option menu 1220 associated with the selected clip data is displayed on the screen / RTI >

When the format conversion function 1224 is selected as an option related to the selected clip data, the preview 1230 of the displayed Multi-media # 2 is automatically scrolled to extract different format data. For example, the control unit 180 extracts text information (e.g., text) and source information (e.g., URL information) from preview 1230 of Multi-media # 2 and then outputs the extracted information to the execution screen of the target application You can paste it. That is, the format of the first clip data is converted and pasted differently.

At this time, the format of the clip data to be converted is not switched to a format that can be supported by the target application. That is, even when multimedia data and a web-based language are supported in the message application 1201, the format of the clip data is changed to the only-text format. However, it is needless to say that even if the format of the clip data is converted, it can be pasted into the HTML text, that is, the formatted character string according to the attribute of the clip data.

Therefore, when the format-converted clip data is transmitted in FIG. 12, the original data and the format and format (e.g., character size, character color, letter shape, paragraph shape, multimedia data arrangement, have.

As described above, according to the mobile terminal and its control method according to the present invention, it is possible to preview the clip data stored in the clipboard before pasting the clip data, and automatically determine the size of the clip data according to the property of the application to be pasted Is provided. Accordingly, by automatically changing the size of low capacity clip data to a high capacity or original size, it is more suitable for the purpose of use and provides an extended user experience for the clipboard. In addition, since the clip data can be quickly changed in size using the touch gesture for the preview image of the data stored in the clipboard, the clip data can be expanded to a desired size while checking the preview image of the clip data. Improved UX related to usage is provided.

The present invention described above can be embodied as computer-readable codes 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 a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state disk (SSD), a silicon disk drive (SDD), a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, , And may also be implemented in the form of a carrier wave (e.g., transmission over the Internet). Also, the computer may include a control unit 180 of the terminal. Accordingly, the above description should not be construed in a limiting sense in all respects and should be considered illustrative. The scope of the present invention should be determined by rational interpretation of the appended claims, and all changes within the scope of equivalents of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.
