### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to select the plurality of play time points based on the play time point corresponding to the touch region of the first touch input.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The mobile terminal of claim 3, wherein the controller is further configured to differently control a time interval among the plurality of play time points, according to the touch degree of the first touch input.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein in response to the touch degree of the first touch input being changed, the controller is further configured to:
convert the first preview image at the play time point into a second preview image, and
display a second plurality of preview images at a plurality of play time points based on the second preview image, based on a drag degree of a drag touch input subsequently applied to the search bar.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein in response to a plurality of taps being applied to the search bar as the second touch input, the controller is further configured to change the play speed at a plurality of play time points corresponding to touch regions of the plurality of taps, to be higher than a set speed.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein in response to a touch input having a pressure exceeding a reference pressure being applied to the search bar as the second touch input, the controller is further configured to change the play speed at a play time point corresponding to the touch region of the touch input, to be lower than a set speed.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)
