## Abstract

A mobile terminal and controlling method thereof are disclosed, by which a plurality of images are synthesized. The present invention includes a camera configuring to acquire a first image in response to a shooting command and a plurality of second images on a preset condition, a controller creating a synthetic image by synthesizing a whole part of the acquired first image and at least one portion of a plurality of the acquired second images, and a display unit configured to display the created synthetic image, wherein the controller controls a prescribed visual effect to be displayed on the synthetic image to indicate a region corresponding to the first image.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A mobile terminal, comprising:
a camera;
a display; and
a controller configured to control the camera and the display,
wherein the controller is configured to:
synthesize a first image and a portion of each second image of a plurality of second images;
cause the display to display a first portion of the synthesized image comprising the first image and the portion of each second image of the plurality of second images;
cause the display to display a first indicator indicating that a portion of the synthesized image has no adjacent image for displaying;
cause the display to display a second indicator indicating that the synthesized image includes an additional portion that is displayable on the display; and
cause the display to display a second portion of the synthesized image in response to an input, wherein the second portion includes at least a portion of the additional portion of the synthesized image.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the first portion is less than an entire portion of the synthesized image.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to:
cause the display to display the first indicator at a location that does not overlap the first portion of the synthesized image.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to:
capture, via the camera, the first image after receiving a command; and
capture, via the camera, the plurality of second images according to a preset condition.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The mobile terminal of claim 4, wherein the plurality of second images are captured subsequent to the capturing of the first image.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the first image and the plurality of second images are captured in real time.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein the first image and each of the plurality of second images capture different portions of a same scene.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The mobile terminal of claim 1, wherein edges that form a perimeter of the synthesized image are defined according to edges of a plurality of images among the first image and the plurality of second images.

### Claim 9

An image display method for a mobile terminal having a display, the method comprising:
synthesizing, by a controller, a first image and a portion of each second image of a plurality of second images;
displaying, on the display, a first portion of the synthesized image comprising the first image and the portion of each second image of the plurality of second images;
displaying, on the display, a first indicator indicating that a portion of the synthesized image has no adjacent image for displaying;
displaying, on the display, a second indicator indicating that the synthesized image includes an additional portion that is displayable on the display; and
displaying, on the display, a second portion of the synthesized image in response to an input, wherein the second portion includes at least a portion of the additional portion of the synthesized image.
