Abstract
A mobile terminal including a body; a touchscreen provided to a front and extending to side of the body and configured to display content; and a controller configured to detect one side of the body comes into contact with one side of an external terminal, display a first area on the touchscreen corresponding to a contact area of the body and the external terminal and a second area including the content, receive an input of moving the content displayed in the second area to the first area, display the content in the first area, and share the content in the first area with the external terminal.
Claims21
A mobile terminal configured to share a display with an external terminal, comprising:
- a body;
- a communication module;
- a memory configured to store a first image;
- a first touchscreen provided to the front of the body and configured to display the first image;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- sense contact between one side of the body and one side of the external terminal while the first image is displayed on the first touchscreen,
- control the communication module to connect the mobile terminal and the external terminal to each other such that data communication can be performed while the mobile terminal and the external terminal are in contact with each other,
- recognize the first touchscreen of the mobile terminal and a second touchscreen of the external terminal as one screen, and
- control the first image to be displayed on an overall area of the one screen,
- wherein the controller is further configured to control an aspect ratio of the first image and display the first image over the one screen.
A method for controlling a mobile terminal configured to share a display with an external terminal, comprising:
- displaying a first image through a first touchscreen provided to the front of the mobile terminal, wherein the first image is stored in a memory of the mobile terminal;
- sensing contact between one side of the body and one side of the external terminal while the first image is displayed on the first touchscreen;
- controlling a communication module to connect the mobile terminal and the external terminal to each other such that data communication can be performed while the mobile terminal and the external terminal are in contact with each other;
- recognizing the first touchscreen of the mobile terminal and a second touchscreen of the external terminal as one screen;
- and
- controlling the first image to be displayed on an overall area of the one screen,
- wherein the method further comprising controlling an aspect ratio of the first image and displaying the first image over the one screen.
A mobile terminal configured to share a display with an external terminal, comprising:
- a body;
- a first touchscreen provided to the front of the body and extended to the side of the body;
- and
- a controller configured to recognize the first touchscreen and a second touchscreen of the external terminal as one screen and to display a specific image on the one screen when one side of the body comes into contact with one side of the external terminal,
- wherein the controller is configured to segment the specific image into a first image displayed on the first touchscreen and a second image displayed on the second touchscreen and to store the first image in a memory, upon release of the contact state when a predetermined input is applied to the specific image.
