## Abstract

A mobile terminal includes first and second cameras located on a rear side of the terminal. A controller is included that is configured to cause the display to display a first preview image of a first image received from the first camera, where the first preview image includes an image object corresponding to a specific subject. The controller further selects the image object in response to an input, captures the first image as a still image in response to an image capture request, controls the second camera to capture video that includes the specific subject, and causes the display to display a synthesized image comprising a first area and a second area, where the first area includes portions of the captured first image, and the second area corresponds to the specific subject included in the first image and includes a portion of the captured video.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A mobile terminal, comprising:
a main body comprising a front side and a rear side;
a plurality of cameras located on the rear side, wherein the plurality of cameras include a first camera and a second camera;
a display; and
a controller configured to:
cause the display to display a preview image received from the first camera, wherein the preview image includes a first object and a second object;
capture a still image through the first camera and video through the second camera in response to one image capture request;
set a first region of the still image as a first dynamic region of a synthesized image in response to a first touch input applied to the first region including the first object while the video is being captured;
set a second region of the still image as a second dynamic region of the synthesized image in response to a second touch input applied to the second region including the second object while the video is being captured; and
generate the synthesized image using the captured still image and the captured video,
wherein the first dynamic region of the synthesized image is generated by synthesizing the first region of the still image and a portion of the captured video,
wherein the second dynamic region of the synthesized image is generated by synthesizing the second region of the still image and another portion of the captured video,
play back the first dynamic region of the synthesized image during a first time period in response to receiving of a message from an external terminal, wherein the first dynamic region of the synthesized image is associated with a message application; and
automatically play back the second dynamic region of the synthesized image during a second time period after the first time period without selection of the second dynamic region,
wherein the first time period is set as a period between a time point at which the first touch input is applied and a time point at which the second touch input applied, and
wherein the second time period is set as a period between the time point at which the second touch input applied and a time point at which the capturing of the video is stopped.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to:
cause the display to display guide graphic objects respectively indicating the first object and the second object.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to:
control the second camera to set a focus on a first subject corresponding to the first object or a second subject corresponding to the second object.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to:
cause the display to display the captured still image;
cause the display to display a guide graphic object in association with the first object and the second object, wherein the guide graphic object indicates existence of the captured video.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to:
cause the display to display a home screen that includes a background image, wherein the background image is the synthesized image.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The mobile terminal of claim 5, wherein an application is associated with the first dynamic region of the synthesized image; and wherein the controller is further configured to:
cause the playing of the captured video at the first dynamic region of the synthesized image according to an event that occurs in the application.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The mobile terminal of claim 6, wherein the controller is further configured to:
cause the playing of the captured video at the first dynamic region of the synthesized image at a speed that corresponds to a number of events that occur in the application.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The mobile terminal of claim 5, wherein the controller is further configured to:
cause the playing of the captured video at the first dynamic region of the synthesized image at a speed that corresponds to a threshold value of battery capacity of the mobile terminal.
