Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A metadata tagging system, an image searching method, a device, and a gesture tagging method are provided. The metadata tagging system includes a first device which tags metadata to an image and transmits the image tagged with the metadata and a second device which allows at least one image from among stored images to be searched. Accordingly, generated data may be searched and used more easily and conveniently.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A user terminal apparatus, comprising: a storage which stores a content generated by the user terminal apparatus; a touch screen which receives a first touch gesture; and a controller which controls to tag the first touch gesture to metadata of the content, and in response to receiving the first touch gesture, searches for the content to which the metadata is tagged to the first touch gesture, wherein the controller changes the first touch gesture to a second touch gesture according to a user input, and in response to receiving the second touch gesture, searches for content to which metadata is tagged to the second touch gesture, and wherein the first and second touch gesture are identified based on a shape of a touch gesture. 2. The user terminal apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, in response to the second touch gesture being input after the second touch gesture is tagged to the metadata, the controller controls to search for the content based on the second touch gesture. 3. A user terminal apparatus, comprising: a storage which stores a content generated by the user terminal apparatus; a touch screen which receives a first touch gesture; and a controller which controls to tag the first touch gesture to metadata of the content, in response to receiving the first touch gesture, search for the content to which the metadata is tagged to the first touch gesture, and display the searched content on the touch screen, wherein, the controller changes the first touch gesture to a second touch gesture according to a user input, and in response to receiving the second touch gesture, searches for content to which metadata is tagged to the second touch gesture. 4. The user terminal apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the tagged metadata of the content is stored along with the first and the second touch gesture, and wherein information corresponding to the shape of the touch gesture is stored within the tagged metadata of the content. 5. The user terminal apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the controller searches for content having metadata including information indicating a shape corresponding to the shape of the second touch gesture on the touch screen. 6. The user terminal apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the controller searches for content having metadata including information indicating a shape corresponding to the shape of the second touch gesture on the touch screen.
