Abstract

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal and a method for controlling same, and more particularly, provides a mobile terminal and a method for controlling same, the mobile terminal comprising: a body including a first body and a second body; a first camera and a second camera included in the body; displays coupled to the body and outputting images; and a control unit. The control unit outputs video previews to the display of the first body and outputs, to the display of the second body, a camera application for controlling the video previews that are being output, wherein the video previews include a first video preview captured by the first camera and a second video preview captured by the second camera.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mobile terminal comprising:
a body including a first body and a second body;
a first camera and a second camera included in the body;
a display coupled to the body so as to output an image; and
a controller,
wherein the controller is configured to output a video preview on a display of the first body, wherein the video preview includes a first video preview filmed by the first camera and a second video preview filmed by the second camera,
wherein a camera application for controlling the video preview being output is output on a display of the second body,
wherein the controller is configured to output a save icon for the first video preview and the second video preview on the camera application,
wherein the save icon includes a first save icon for separately saving a first video for the first video preview and a second video for the second video preview, and
wherein, when the first video and the second video are saved separately from each other, the controller is configured to output a first frame roll for the first video and a second frame roll for the second video on the camera application, wherein the first frame roll includes a thumbnail for the first video and the second frame roll includes a thumbnail for the second video.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 ,
wherein the save icon further includes a second save icon for saving the first video and the second video in a coupled manner.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to update the first frame roll with the first video preview newly filmed from a first time point when receiving a first signal to start recording in a state the first time point in the first frame roll is selected.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to output the thumbnail for the first video and the thumbnail for the second video at a predetermined time interval.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 4 , wherein the controller is configured to output the thumbnail for the first video and the thumbnail for the second video based on a predetermined direction over time when outputting the first frame roll and the second frame roll.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to output an editing guide pop-up window based on a second signal for selecting a pause icon output on the camera application.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to output a thumbnail corresponding to a first time point in a pop-up window in response to a third signal for selecting the first time point in the first frame roll.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:
simultaneously record the first video preview and the second video preview in response to a fourth signal for recording the first video preview and the second video preview; and
simultaneously pause the recording of the first video preview and the second video preview in response to a fifth signal for pausing the recording of the first video preview and the second video preview.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 8 , wherein the controller is configured to pause the recording of the first video preview and add a visual effect to the first video preview in response to a sixth signal for selecting the first frame roll in a state the first video preview is being recorded.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:
output a switch icon on the camera application; and
change an output position of the first video preview and an output position of the second video preview in response to selecting the switch icon.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to output a ratio icon indicating an aspect ratio of the first video preview and the second video preview on the camera application.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to output the first video preview and the second video preview at an aspect ratio of 1:1.

13. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to output the first video preview and the second video preview at an aspect ratio of 16:9, wherein the second video preview is output in a scheme of an overlay of the first video preview and a size of the second video preview is smaller than a size of the first video preview.

14. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the first camera is a front camera and the second camera is a rear camera.

15. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the first camera is a rear wide-angle camera and the second camera is a rear normal camera.

16. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the first body is a swivel body, the second body is a main body, and the swivel body is rotatable with respect to the main body.

17. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the first body and the second body are connected to each other via a hinge portion, wherein the first body and the second body overlap each other when the mobile terminal is completely folded and the first body and the second body constitute one flat surface when the mobile terminal is completely unfolded.

18. A mobile terminal comprising:
a body including a first body and a second body;
a first camera and a second camera included in the body;
a display coupled to the body so as to output an image; and
a controller,
wherein the controller is configured to output a video preview on a display of the first body, wherein the video preview includes a first video preview filmed by the first camera and a second video preview filmed by the second camera,
wherein a camera application for controlling the video preview being output is output on a display of the second body,
wherein the controller is configured to output a save icon for the first video preview and the second video preview on the camera application,
wherein the save icon includes a first save icon for saving the first video and the second video in a coupled manner, and
wherein, when the first video and the second video are saved in the coupled manner, the controller is configured to output a third frame roll for the first video and the second video on the camera application, wherein the third frame roll includes thumbnails for the first video and the second video.

19. The mobile terminal of claim 18 , wherein the save icon further includes a second save icon for separately saving a first video for the first video preview and a second video for the second video preview.

20. A method for controlling a mobile terminal including a body including a first body and a second body, a first camera and a second camera included in the body, and a display coupled to the body so as to output an image, the method comprising:
outputting a video preview on a display of the first body, wherein the video preview includes a first video preview filmed by the first camera and a second video preview filmed by the second camera;
outputting a camera application for controlling the video preview being output on a display of the second body; and
outputting a save icon for the first video preview and the second video preview on the camera application,
wherein, when the first video and the second video are saved separately from each other, outputting a first frame roll for the first video and a second frame roll for the second video on the camera application, wherein the first frame roll includes a thumbnail for the first video and the second frame roll includes a thumbnail for the second video, and
wherein, w
