Mobile terminal and method for controlling camera-mounted external device

A control system, comprising:

• an external device including a camera, the camera being capable of generating an image by capturing an external environment;
• and
• a mobile terminal capable of receiving the image,
• wherein the external device is wirelessly connected to the mobile terminal,
• wherein the mobile terminal comprises:
• a wireless communication unit capable of receiving a wireless signal associated with the image;
• a display unit capable of outputting the image and receiving a first touch input for adjusting a capturing range of the camera;
• and
• a controller capable of controlling the display unit to output a control screen when the capturing range reaches a limit, the control screen being adapted to receive a second touch input for controlling the external device,
• wherein in response to receiving the second touch input, the controller is configured to control the external device without changing the capturing range of the camera or otherwise moving the camera, and
• wherein the controller controls the display unit to enlarge the image captured by the camera when a touch input is applied to the image captured by the camera.

A method for controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

• receiving an image obtained by a camera mounted on an external device wirelessly connected to the mobile terminal;
• outputting the image on a display unit;
• transmitting a wireless signal for changing a capturing range of the camera, in response to a first touch input applied to the display unit;
• outputting an image according to the changed capturing range;
• switching the image into a control screen adapted to receive a second touch input for controlling the external device, when the capturing range reaches a limit;
• controlling the external device without changing the capturing range of the camera or otherwise moving the camera in response to receiving the second touch input;
• and
• enlarging the image captured by the camera when a touch input is applied to the image captured by the camera.
