Abstract

A mobile terminal including a touch screen; and a controller configured to display a specific content on the touch screen, in response to a first force touch input satisfying a specific touch-force applied to the specific content, execute an aggregated view mode and display objects included in the specific content in an aggregated manner, in response to a first non-force touch input selecting a particular object, distinguishably display the selected particular object on the touch screen, and in response to a second force touch input satisfying the specific touch-force applied to the specific content, display related contents related to the selected particular object on the touch screen.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
a touch screen; and
a controller configured to:
display a specific content on the touch screen, wherein the specific content includes a plurality of objects,
in response to a first force touch input satisfying a specific touch-force applied to the specific content, execute an aggregated view mode,
among the plurality of objects when the aggregated view mode is executed,
display a plurality of icons indicating the plurality of objects in the specific content in an aggregated manner when the aggregated view mode is executed,
in response to a first non-force touch input selecting a particular object, distinguishably display the selected particular object on the touch screen, and
in response to a second force touch input satisfying the specific touch-force applied to the specific content, display related contents related to the selected particular object on the touch screen, and
wherein the icons are output to peripheral regions of output regions of the plurality of objects.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to select the particular object based on the first non-force touch input applied to a respective icon corresponding to the particular object.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to in response to a second non-force touch input while the first force touch input is maintained, execute a content edition function for editing the displayed related contents.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 3 , wherein in response to the second non-force touch input being a leftward drag input or a rightward drag input, the controller is further configured to sequentially scroll and display the related contents.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 3 , wherein in response to the second non-force touch input being an upward drag input, the controller is further configured to display a sharing list for sharing the related contents.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the objects include at least one of a person, an object and a place in a background.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein in response to the first force touch input no longer being sensed, the controller is further configured to terminate the aggregated view mode.

8. A method of controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
displaying a specific content on a touch screen of the mobile terminal, wherein the specific content includes a plurality of objects;
in response to a first force touch input satisfying a specific touch-force applied to the specific content, executing, via a controller of the mobile terminal, an aggregated view mode;
searching for contents related to the specific content, based on at least one object among the plurality of objects when the aggregated view mode is executed;
displaying a plurality of icons indicating the plurality of objects in the specific content in an aggregated manner when the aggregated view mode is executed;
in response to a first non-force touch input selecting a particular object, distinguishably displaying the selected particular object on the touch screen; and
in response to a second force touch input satisfying the specific touch-force applied to the specific content, displaying related contents related to the selected particular object on the touch screen, and
wherein the icons are output to peripheral regions of output regions of the plurality of objects.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
selecting the particular object based on the first non-force touch input applied to a respective icon corresponding to the particular object.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
in response to a second non-force touch input while the second force touch input is maintained, executing, via the controller, a content edition function for editing the displayed related contents.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
in response to the second non-force touch input being a leftward drag input or a rightward drag input, sequentially scrolling and displaying the related contents.
