Abstract
A mobile terminal having a video call function and a control method thereof are provided. The mobile terminal includes: a display unit configured to allow for a touch input and display a plurality of images received from a plurality of counterparts, respectively, during a video call; a sensing unit configured to sense a touch input with respect to at least one of the plurality of images; and a controller changing the touched image to any one of images related to the touched image. The image to be changed among the related images is determined on the basis of a direction of the touch input.
Claims13
A mobile terminal comprising:
- a display unit configured to display a plurality of images received from a plurality of counterparts during a video call;
- a sensing unit configured to sense a touch input to at least one of the plurality of images;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control the display unit to change the display of a touched at least one of the plurality of images to a changed image that is related to the touched at least one of the plurality of images, wherein the changed image comprises an input window, and the changed image is determined based on a direction of movement of the sensed touch input;
- control a function related to a video call with a counterpart when a second touch input to the changed image is sensed within a reference time;
- control the display unit to restore the display of the touched at least one of the plurality of images, which was displayed prior to display of the changed image, when the second touch input is not sensed within the reference time;
- sense a third touch input applied to the input window;
- change a trace of the third touch input applied to the input window to at least image data or text data and store the image data or text data in a memory;
- sense a fourth touch input received after the trace of the third touch input is changed;
- and
- control the display unit to restore the display of the touched at least one of the plurality of images, which was displayed prior to display of the changed image, and display the at least image data or text data on the touched at least one of the plurality of images when the controller senses the fourth touch input.
A control method of a mobile terminal including a display unit configured to receive a touch input and display a plurality of images received from a respective plurality of counterparts during a video call, the method comprising:
- sensing a direction of movement of a touch input to at least one of the received plurality of images;
- displaying a changed image based on the direction of movement of the touch input to the at least one of the received plurality of images, wherein the changed image is related to the at least one of the plurality of images and comprises an input window;
- controlling a function related to a video call with a counterpart when a second touch input to the changed image is sensed within a reference time;
- restoring the display of the touched at least one of the plurality of images, which was displayed prior to display of the changed image, when the second touch input is not sensed within the reference time;
- sensing a third touch input applied to the input window;
- changing a trace of the third touch input applied to the input window to at least image data or text data and storing the image data or text data in a memory;
- sensing a fourth touch input received after the trace of the third touch input is changed;
- and
- restoring the display of the touched at least one of the plurality of images, which was displayed prior to display of the changed image, and displaying the at least image data or text data on the touched at least one of the plurality of images when the fourth touch input is sensed.
